Why spray tanning?
Whenever you return from a getaway, the initial point friends and family usually discuss is your terrific tan, or lack thereof. Tanning has actually been preferred since the very early 20th century, but the health threats related to the sun's UV rays have made keeping an also tan -- a lot less any sort of type of tan -- hard, particularly for those who stay in chilly and also rainy climates.
Get in interior sun tanning hair salons, which ended up being a preferred pattern in the '80s. Now, interior sun tanning is a $3 billion-a-year sector in the United States alone.
Since the year 2000, self sunless spray tanning has actually taken the tanning world by storm. It has actually provided men with a means to get as well as keep a healthy-looking, also tan without being exposed to the sunlight's rays. What is most excellent is that, unlike previous tanning techniques, the impacts of spray tanning actually look excellent.
What is spray tanning?
Spray tanning works by applying a special mist to the body. This haze is sprayed onto the physical body in a display, which you could currently find at many higher-end tanning beauty parlors and health clubs. The mist discharged consists of dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which is a chemical that reacts with dead skin cells by cosmetically coloring them brown. So after spray tanning, the skin handles a gold brown colour that typically resembles an organic tan.
Depending upon the display utilized, the haze will either be water or oil based; males with vulnerable skin should choose a water base. Additionally, some salons offer various kinds of hazes, enabling you to choose the degree of dimming. If you are extremely fair-skinned, bear in mind that going as well dark will certainly look artificial as well as uncomfortable, regardless of the top quality of the item.
Will it give me a good tan?
The mist in spray tanning momentarily makes your skin golden brownish, not orange. The chemical reaction physically transforms your skin colour, so there's no need to bother with smear lines; besides, the items on the marketplace have actually been well-tested in order to make certain they provide a colour that looks exactly like an all-natural tan (or as close as it's getting). Even fair-skinned individuals who normally transform pink instead of brown while tanning will take advantage of a bronze colour by getting a spray tan.
How long does it last?
Mystic Tan, among one of the most preferred brand names of spray tanning displays, states that as soon as an optimal colour is achieved, it can be sustained by tanning every five days. Fantasy Tan, a rival, mentions that their tans will last approximately 10 days. As you'll find by continuing reading, there are specific actions you could take (before as well as after your spray tanning session) to ensure that your tan lasts as lengthy as possible.
Below's a mini-lesson in dermatology: The leading layer of your skin naturally loses in order to yield to more recent skin. Since that leading level of skin is the component that's dyed by the DHA, the tan disappears once the top layer of dead skin removes. So, to prolong the impacts of the spray tan, you must make use of moisturizer (you recognize, that lotion your lady swears by) to maintain the leading layer from dropping as quickly. Generally, if you moisturize, you must be able to sustain an optimum tan for regarding five days.
There are lots of creams on the marketplace, by every cosmetic manufacturer on the planet. You cannot stroll into a pharmacy or outlet store without finding a full rack of right stuff so head out and also get that tan that you should have.
Safe Ways To Stay Tan Year-Round: Top 10 Reasons To Use Tanners
There are means to stay tanned without risking your health-yet many individuals still subject themselves to possibly destructive UV rays to accomplish a healthy glow.
A poll taken by the American Academy of Dermatology located that 61 percent of women under 18 think they are prettier with a tan and also half assume a tan makes them look healthy and balanced. This might assist discuss a research in the Journal of the American Medical Organization that reported skin cancer among women under the age of 40 has tripled in the previous 30 years, pointing out the appeal of tanning as a popular source.
Experts from The Skin Cancer Foundation advise people never ever to seek a UV ray tan. However, for those who desire a tanned look, sunless sun tanning items, such as the Tan Yer Hide ™ Residence Spray Tanning System, is a secure option as long as it is made use of in conjunction with a minimal SPF 15. Specialists provide these leading 10 reasons why people are transforming in the direction of such sunless sun tanning products:
1. No Dangerous Risks-Sunless tanners do not pose the risks connected from UV rays with sunbathing and also tanning beds as well as you get the same great-looking tan.
2. Expense Conscious-You can own your personal self sunless tanning kit and at-home spray tanning system-usually for concerning half the expense of sun tanning in a beauty salon. As an example, the brand-new tanning system from Tan Yer Hide ™ makes use of the same spray technology as a specialist unit as well as could be made use of to obtain a natural-looking tan, devoid of streaks or orange shade. It also has option that could last approximately six months or even more.
3. Custom-made Tans-With the new at-home spray tanning system, you can control the shade of your tan. That indicates it is easy to go from a subtle tan to a "simply got back from the beach" look within days.

DU uses liabilities from the loan application, not debts from the credit report, to calculate the debt-to-income ratio.
To help ensure that all appropriate liabilities are included in the debt-to-income ratio, DU performs a series of reasonableness tests comparing loan application balances and payments with the credit report balances and payments. If the values on the loan application are less than the values on the credit report by more than selected tolerances, the lender must justify the discrepancies between the two. The lender must update the loan application values if the values are needed to calculate accurate ratios. The information must be updated either with verified values from the credit report or with independent, outside verifications.
The lender can automatically copy the borrower's liabilities from the credit report to Section VI Liabilities by selecting the auto-populate liabilities option from DU when the credit report is ordered. If the lender's loan origination system does not offer this option, or if the lender elects not to use it, the liabilities must be entered manually in Section VI Liabilities.
When the auto-populate option is selected, it is not necessary to obtain additional borrower disclosure for tradelines appearing on the credit report. The lender is still required to obtain full disclosure from all borrowers, including borrowers who do not have traditional credit, of all existing credit obligations. Liabilities that do not appear on the credit report, such as monthly housing expenses for taxes, insurance, etc., must be disclosed in Section VI Liabilities prior to final submission to DU.
If the auto-populate liabilities option is selected BEFORE liabilities have been manually entered in the loan application:
Open accounts will be automatically copied to Section VI Liabilities of the loan application.
Closed accounts on the credit report are not automatically copied to the loan application. If the account has an outstanding balance, the lender must manually enter the liability in Section VI Liabilities and include the monthly payment in the debt-to-income ratio.
Collection accounts on the credit report are not automatically copied to the loan application.
If the auto-populate liabilities option is selected AFTER liabilities have been manually entered in the loan application:
DU will attempt to match existing liability accounts listed on Section VI Liabilities of the loan application to the credit report liabilities by using a combination of account name and account number.
Open accounts from the credit report that were not manually entered on the loan application will be automatically copied to the loan application.
DU will use the information on the loan application to calculate the debt-to-income ratio.
If duplicate accounts or accounts that do not belong to the borrower were copied to the loan application and included in the debt-to-income ratio, they may be omitted from Section VI Liabilities. Debts that are omitted will not be counted in the debt-to-income ratio.

EDWARDSVILLE – A Madison County man is suing a Pontoon Beach motorist, alleging negligence for injuries he says endured in an automobile accident.
Kenneth Hedge filed the lawsuit Jan. 21 in Madison County Circuit Court against Julie A. Wyatt of Pontoon Beach, alleging negligence.
According tot the complaint, on Oct. 15, Hedge was driving westbound on state Highway 162 near the intersection of Perigen Lane in Madison County and, at the same time and along the same stretch of roadway, Wyatt was driving eastbound when he crashed into the plaintiff.
The suit says Wyatt failed to yield the right of way while approaching the intersection, failed to stay in the proper lane, drove too quickly and failed to slow down while approaching the intersection, drove a vehicle with inadequate brakes and failed to stop in time to avoid the collision.
The lawsuit states, as a result of the defendant's negligence, the plaintiff sustained several broken bones and contusions to his internal organs. He will continue to suffer pain and anguish, be liable for medical bills and continue to endure loss of a normal life, the suit states. Further, his vehicle was damaged in an amount still to be determined, the complaint says.
Hedge seeks at least $50,000, a judgment to compensate him for property damage, plus court costs. He is represented by attorney Steven M. Diondea of Kullmann, Klein & Dioneda PC in Clayton, Missouri.

Why should electric guitarists have all the fun when it comes to digitally modeled sound? Isn't there just as much quest for variety, experimentation, and a spirit of technological adventurousness from those of us who have round holes in the tops of our guitars? Apparently D-TAR thinks so, and has released the Mama Bear, a digital modeling preamp for acoustic guitars.
But doesn't a review like this belong in a magazine like Guitar Player or Frets? Keep reading. The ability of a single instrument to sound like multiple guitars — and most importantly, to do so convincingly — is a valuable tool for any studio that records acoustic guitars. As a bonus, Mama Bear also offers a lot for onstage use.
The Mama Bear features proprietary AGE (Acoustic Guitar Emulation; see "AGE Before Beauty" sidebar page 52) modeling technology. Driven by a 32-bit, 100MHz floating-point 600MFLOPS microprocessor, Mama Bear emulates the sounds of classic, iconic guitars — including parlors, orchestra models, dreadnoughts, jumbos, resonators, and more. You can use the Mama Bear in two distinct ways:
n Correct, optimize, and enrich the tone of your existing acoustic
n Transform your guitar into an entirely different instrument — convert, say, your muddy-mellow dreadnought into a brassy biscuit-resonator blues axe or a sizzling Selmer/Maccaferri gypsy jazzer
Either way, the easy-to-use Mama Bear is tons of fun, and provides a wide variety of realistic, usable acoustic-guitar emulations . . . but it's not just a one-trick pony.
In addition to modeling, Mama Bear has the usual signal-prepping features you'd expect from a quality acoustic guitar preamp. The front panel offers a single 1/4" hi-Z input (4.7M) and two continuous-level controls: Input, to match your guitar's strength to the box's processing circuitry, and Output, which does not affect the level from the XLR balanced out but does affect the 1/4" output, as an onstage monitoring benefit. Five switches provide on/off (with LED), phase, mute, analog low-cut (for eliminating rumble), and bypass functions, all of which come into play when wrangling acoustic signals (there's also an Overload indicator LED). The back panel features separate 1/4" and XLR mono outputs. There's also a ground lift switch and a jack for the wall-wart power supply.
To get up and running, just plug in, glance at the Quick Start card if you must, and go — it's not even necessary to read the manual. Once you've matched levels for your particular system, it's time for the fun stuff: modeling.
The Mama Bear devotes three controls to modeling: two 16-position rotary switches, and a continuous, center-detented wet/dry Blend control. The latency is undetectable (the manual lists 3ms), and the 24-bit A/D-D/A conversion and 94dB S/N ratio make for a very clean, studio-quiet component.
The Mama Bear's strategy for modeled sounds considers both sides of the equation — input and output — for optimal effect. The Input Source control is a 16-setting source-matching selector, which "neutralizes" the sound of your guitar's existing pickup and provides a baseline for the Mama Bear to perform its modeling magic. You choose the setting based on your guitar's pickup — ceramic under-saddle transducer, magnetic soundhole pickup, etc. There are plenty of variations here to match virtually any pickup technology for all acoustic, acoustic-electric, and piezo-configured guitars out there. Position 16 gives no compensation.
Of course, you don't have to stick with the matched setting; after you play around with the modeled instruments (called Target Instruments), you can come back to the Input Source and experiment with different compensation settings. This is analogous to how your digital camera applies lighting filters, like incandescent, fluorescent, flash, etc. It boosts the aspects that are lacking with the respective light source, but you can "misapply" them to amplify their compensation effect. The Mama Bear even offers some of the same pickup technologies, but with alternate EQ curves.
The Target Instruments control offers 16 different instruments (see the sidebar "On Target" on page 53) that touch on all the great acoustic models in history. For this review, I used a Martin J-40M with a Martin Thinline 332 under-the-saddle piezo pickup. I immediately went to the more radical incarnations — the Tricone Resonator, Biscuit Blues Resonator, Gypsy Jazz, and Hollow Body Archtop Jazz — to test the modeling engine's mettle.
I was blown away. These were not caricatures of those well-known instruments, but living, breathing renditions. If you really play in the style that suits the Target Instrument, you will be rewarded with rich sounds. For example, in #16, Tricone Resonator, I tuned to an open A and played bottleneck licks and really steeled out the metallic, ring-modulated sound of a vintage Regal RC-51. Then, switching over to #14, Gypsy Jazz, I brushed up on my staccato alternate picking and went through my Django transcriptions of "I Got Rhythm" and "Lady Be Good." When it was time to mellow out a bit, I played Johnny Smith's classic chord-melody version of "Moonlight in Vermont" using the Hollow Body Archtop Jazz setting. The well-rendered results from these settings actually helped inspire my playing.
Switching over to the more subtle applications, the Mahogany Dreadnought sounded a little sharper and more focused for single-line passages than the Rosewood Dreadnought, which was warmer and fuller for chords and arpeggio work. Though the sounds went from the delightfully canny to the realistic, my only quibble is that I had to run both the input and output levels quite high to approximate the levels of other preamps in my studio. Fortunately, the Mama Bear is quiet, so running it hot doesn't introduce any noise; I wouldn't hesitate to use the Mama Bear in an exposed, critical-listening setting.
The Mama Bear is a rugged, well-built device that comes with all the usual controls you'd expect in an acoustic guitar preamp. The modeling section gives you a possibility of 256 sounds, though you'll have to derive any further shaping through an outboard EQ. There's no footswitch operation — either for bypass or stepping between Target Instruments. That, with the table-top housing and front-faced control configuration, makes Mama Bear more studio-friendly than stage-friendly.
But for the modeled sounds, and the subtle but perceptible gradations between different but related instruments, Mama Bear nails it. The distinctions between rosewood vs. mahogany versions of orchestra models and dreadnoughts, plus the dead-nuts accurate renditions of Jumbos and Dreadnoughts are real, convincing, and do come alive through playing, giving testimony to the Mama Bear's AGE technology. (For my particular style, the Boutique Fingerstyle was a standout.) The Input Source compensations, when matched with your particular model, really do produce a fuller and more listener-accurate version of your own guitar, and the resonators and jazz instruments are not only great, they're delightful and inspiring. Couple that with the additional tonal shaping that "unmatching" the Input Source provides (against your guitar's type), and you have a wide, lustrous palette for shaping your acoustic sound.

Free Download of our Mavic Air Preflight Checklist PDF!
After flying the Mavic Air just about everyday for a few weeks, I've figured out the preflight configuration of the Mavic Air pretty well.. but every once in a while – I forget something. The on board 8gb of storage helps when you forget something like a Micro SD card, but if you're filming 4k video you might still be out of luck.
So I decided to make a Mavic Air preflight checklist! Preflight check lists aren't just for noobie drone pilots - having a list and using it as a guide ensures you'll always have fully charged batteries and clean memory card. It's very easy to skip a step and miss something.
I broke the Preflight Checklist into 6 different parts, so you can skip ahead if you've already done a portion of the checklist! The different sections of the checklist are:
- Preparation
- Make sure items are present
- Battery Check
- Prepare the aircraft
- Powering up
- Begin Flight
This is the list I go off of everytime I fly my Mavic Air. It is the most portable drone I own and keep it with me at all times. Since this is in my everyday work bag, I don't always have the best habits about re-charging batteries and clearing the memory cards of my cameras since it sees so much use. Using a list helps keep me on track and reinforcing good pre and post flight habits!
I hope you guys found this pre-flight checklist for the Mavic Air helpful, if you have anything you'd like to add leave a comment below and I'll add it to this list! Always looking for ways to improve!

BUJUMBURA October 30th (ABP) – 5,000 African entrepreneurs and the entire entrepreneurship ecosystem gathered in Lagos, the economic capital of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on Thursday October 25, 2018 as part of the 4th edition of the annual entrepreneurship forum of Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF), a check on the site by ABP has revealed.
It is an event that brings together a large number of African entrepreneurs offering an opportunity to bring together the most talented young people in entrepreneurship. It also allows these young people to create dynamic networks.
The Forum was characterized by the awarding of the certificates to the winners of the TEF Entrepreneurship Program 2018 Promotion, following a nine-month training and mentoring with the donation of US $ 10,000 capital allowing the start of activities.
The Tony Elumelu Foundation's entrepreneurship program, which commits $ 100 million over 10 years, aims to identify, train, monitor and then fund 10,000 young entrepreneurs from all corners of Africa.
Mr. Elumelu also said that African small and medium-sized enterprises participating in the TEF program will be represented at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which will be an opportunity for these companies to bring their projects and also an opportunity for integration into the largest networks of entrepreneurs worldwide. Mr. Elumelu reiterated his commitment to advocating for Africa's economic development by supporting and training a new generation of entrepreneurs, whose successes can transform the continent, provide opportunities, create jobs and have social impact.During his speech, the leader of the forum of future entrepreneurs of the continent, Nigerian Tony Elumelu, head of UBA (United Bank for Africa) and of the foundation that bears his name said that the goal is centralized on democratizing the spirit of entrepreneurship throughout the African continent, since so far 75% of companies in Africa are going bankrupt from the start. According to him, entrepreneurship is the base for the development of the African continent, from which young entrepreneurs have a key role to play in achieving this development.
"Our Foundation and its unique approach to training, mentoring and funding have proven that entrepreneurship is the catalyst for the economic transformation of our continent. I firmly believe that success can be democratized and that if we can link the ambitions to the opportunities, this extraordinary generation can accomplish everything, "he said, adding however that young people cannot succeed in entrepreneurship without the help of their political leaders.
The Forum was attended by two African presidents, Ghanaian President Nana Akufo-Addo and Kenya's Mr. Uhuru Kenyetta who, virtually participated from his palace. The latter pointed out in his speech that the best destiny of Africa does not belong to the political leaders, but rather to its youth. He then returned to actions already undertaken by his country, which is now tending to be the continent's leading technological center thanks to the initiatives it is pursuing in certain sectors, notably education, teaching, academic and professional training, as well as the employability of young people.
"We live in a richest continent in the world but where people are poor, it is a paradox that must be resolved," said Ghanaian President Nana Akufo. He further pointed out that studies have already shown that in 40 African countries, more than 50% of the population is made up of 25-year-old people, which means that Africa's population is young and that young people are considered the best future of the continent. To succeed, he insisted, young people must be equipped with entrepreneurship and always assisted by leaders.
"I am opposed to the idea that Africa must always depend on outside help, the reason why I came here to join these young visionaries and support the Tony Elumelu's Initiative and his Foundation," he said. While urging youth to avoid pessimism and always be the best, he called on public sector representatives to encourage, support and replicate the Tony Elumelu Foundation model in their home regions.
The African Entrepreneurs Forum was rich in colours and one of them was the launch of TEFConnect, a revolutionary digital platform that brings together in Africa and beyond the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem, including entrepreneurs, investors and the business world on a single platform and digitally connects them to three critical elements of success, namely the capital, business tools and enterprises.
According to Elumelu, Africa is experiencing a wave of rapid technological change in payment, education, agriculture and basic facilities, and TEFConnect is playing a critical role in connecting entrepreneurs across the continent. TEFConnect is an open source platform that will provide tailored tools and content to catalyze the business development of millions of people across the continent with technology and directly applicable content. Five Burundians were among the 5,000 young entrepreneurs who participated in the forum. The Forum was also covered by the media by a hundred development reporters from all over the world.

A panic attack can be atrocious and knowing what the symptoms are can really help. Being knowledgeable about the signs and what's happening helps you relax during the onslaught of symptoms.
And when you can relax instead of fighting the panic attack, the symptoms leave much faster.
Common Symptoms of Panic Attacks
- Pounding heart
- Sweating
- Trembling
- Thinking you are choking
- Chest pain
- Nausea
- A sensation of losing control of actually staying on earth
- Feeling like you are in the process of dying
Because each person is different and faces difficult situations differently, panic attacks have many different symptoms. However, the ones listed above are the most common to the most people.
During my years of suffering through many full blown panic attacks, I found the first reaction was to make a mental search of my body.
I would know something drastic was happening, but couldn't pinpoint what was going on with me.
Panic Attacks Are Confusing
Your first panic attack will likely leave you bewildered, confused, or possibly at a physician's office. I've never endured the symptoms without thinking I could be dying but not knowing why?
The symptoms of a panic attack usually begin manifesting seemingly "out of the blue".
What Causes Panic Attacks
I was never able to pin down any idea of what caused a panic attack.
That's because panic attacks are coming from deeper places within the subconscious than "general" (and I use that lightly) anxiety.
Anxiety attacks can often be traced to some outside stressor. Something going on that you can name and identify.
When you are in the middle of an anxiety attack you may have heightened feelings of fear, and apprehension. It could feel like extreme worry that something is going out of your control.
You have an idea that if you could stop something from happening the anxiety would go away.
Panic Attack Symptoms are Brutal
Panic attacks are much more brutal and intense, striking when you are completely unaware, at the most inopportune times.
There is a lot of conflicting information about whether panic attacks and anxiety and depression all fit in the same mold? There are people who endure panic and don't seem to suffer with GAD or depression.
Check out this page for a partial list of Anxiety Disorders.
A panic attack seldom has an identifiable aggravator. You won't know what provoked it, and you can't predict it's arrival, or it's conclusion.
The most alarming part of my own panic attacks were the sensation that I was in the very process of dying.
You can't keep from mentally checking your body for exactly why you are about to die, and as you do, you will be sort of agreeing with your brain that something is going on.
This agreement actually brings on more and heightens the symptoms.
How Long Can Panic Attack Symptoms Last?
Sometimes I would be caught up in the symptoms of a full blown panic attack for an hour or more. I know now, that when they first started coming I was so terrorized:
That the fear was turning on more panic.
The symptoms would seem to last forever because they were actually feeding on themselves.
The more I panicked, the more my subconscious realized that it had been right after all, I was dying. The more I agreed with the symptoms, the more real the symptoms appeared.
Some times the symptoms of a panic attack can go on all day, fear building upon fear.
What are the First Signs of a Panic Attack?
The first signs of a panic attack varies from one person to the next.
However, the signs don't seem to come slow enough to actually predict what is happening to you.
It took many attacks for me to recognize what was happening.
Until you endure several, or start learning how to control panic attacks, you will find yourself suddenly consumed with the symptoms at once.
I thinks it's this surprise element that makes panic attacks so forceful.
The most natural reaction to the symptoms are to start fighting against them. However, this fight (seemingly for your own survival) brings more of the manifestations of the the attack.
Your brain thinks it's rescuing you from some attacker.
But, you can learn to teach your brain that the symptoms themselves are the attacks.
The first signs of almost every panic attack I had was being completely overcome with a sensation that I was dying, leaving this earth for someplace else.
If chest pains would have manifested, I would have assumed I was having a heart attack. Because I could never felt any pain, I always wondered if I was having a stroke?
When all of the symptoms were gone, I would be fatigued, and looking for some sign of how I had lived through it.
What to do During a Panic Attack?
The reason these sensations are called panic attacks is because they overcome you with panic!
The panic is what makes it incredibly difficult to know what to do as the symptoms heighten.
Until you have learned for yourself how to cure panic attacks:
Your natural impulse will be to mentally search for something to fight off.
You will be overcome with wanting to know what is happening to me — right this moment.
You will find yourself being completely consumed with all of the symptoms that seem to be manifesting in your body.
Because you may feel like you are going to die, lose control, or have a stroke or heart attack the tendency is to respond with more fear and terror.
Something has to occur within your own self that allows you to stop the terror, and take a conscious look at what is really going on with you at the moment.
How To Stop Having Panic Attacks?
In almost all cases these attacks can be stopped. Stopped when they appear, and stopped from coming in the first place.
You can take medication, which is usually the first line of defense from any physician.
The problem with medication for anxiety and panic attacks is that they can not possibly cure the problem.
In fact, they rarely stop the attacks, they merely mask the symptoms so that you know they are there, but don't particularly care. You don't care because you are drugged.
How To Stop Panic Attacks Naturally
- The first step is to stay very conscious during the symptoms, and aware of your own body and mind at the time.
- So now you make the decision to give this a try. However, the first time you try, you could be well into the symptoms before you remember to get a hold of yourself and think about what's happening. That's how it starts.
- At this point you can say to yourself "this is a panic attack, and it will pass". This is the exact point that you begin to take control of the symptoms instead of fearing and being overwhelmed by them.
- This alerts your brain that you are indeed looking into the situation and everything is ok.
- Now you very consciously focus on any one symptom that is manifesting physically. You can't really focus on the panic or fear, so look for any symptom and think about it.
- If your heart is pounding, concentrate on the pounding — WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO SLOW OR CHANGE IT. Just mentally go there and think about it and try to know everything you can about what it's doing.
- If you are trembling, start to think about exactly where the trembling is occuring.
- Experiencing nausea, or any other symptom? Focus all your attention on it, try to locate exactly where in your body it is occuring. It's almost like welcoming it so that you can observe it and exactly where it is and how it feels.
As you do this, you will notice:
- The symptoms that you focus your attention on seem to disappear into mid air.
- After one disappears and you move to the next, the first may come back.
- Just go to it again and think about it and how it is feeling.
This technique has several advantages, including the key:
Refocusing your attention from the fear and panic to the symptoms. This refocus and relaxing is what dispels the attack.
The Timeless Secret To All Anxiety and Panic attacks
All of this is originating in your sub conscious mind. None of it is real!
After taking this approach a few times, you will realize that you have the ability to shorten the attack, and realize that they have stopped coming.
That's when you will see that the symptoms were imaginary until your own panic turned the volume up.
Of course what is happening to your nervous system is not imaginary:
But the causes and symptoms are imaginary.
That's why when you mentally pinpoint any one symptom and CONSCIOUSLY make an exerted effort to concentrate on it alone—to see how it feels——the symptom disappears.
Any one symptom of any anxiety attack or panic attack can not endure you concentrating on it alone.
You can only know if this works for you through personal experience.
It does work! And the more you work it, the quicker they will disappear, until they simply get tired of showing up!
Merely re focus your attention onto one symptom and only one until it is gone, then chose another, or the same one when it magically re appears.
You can stop allowing the symptoms of a panic attack to steal your life when you learn what they are and take a stand against them.

Carlos Moya on Nadal's Success
Carlos Moya has revealed the secrets behind Nadal's recent improvements and comeback from injury.
Forehand has been adapted to "get more speed through the court". Work on improvements in the Nadal backhand has been fairly evident as he takes more outside in backhands over inside out forehands. And "a lot of work on the serve".
Nadal is also carrying more lead tape in the head of the racquet giving much increased power potential. Additionally, nutrition and dietary changes have been made to build even more muscle to help in reducing injuries.
Bernard Tomic Dropped by Head
Bernard Tomic has been dumped by racquet sponsor Head following his antics at Wimbledon this week. During his last match, Tomic feined injury and called the trainer, despite later admitting there was nothing wrong with him. He also informed the press conference that he was "bored" during his match against Mischa Zverez. A gifted player wasting his talent.

Take it to the maxi
But it's a desire we chicks rarely get the chance to indulge.
The closest we usually get is by going to a ball or being a bride/bridesmaid (yes, the secret is out, we are willing to commit ourselves to a boy – for life – for the sake of wearing a long frock). On those occasions it's acceptable to totter all day in a floor-skimmer, gliding around like one of Chorlton's Wheelies (anyone who was a bridesmaid in the 70's or 80's will get what I'm sayin' – hula hoop anyone?)
But for the last few years, there's been a new dressing-up opportunity in town; the marvellous maxi dress.
Back in May 2007, I took myself along to Ibiza with various friends and small people (kids, not munchkins). One of the absolute highlights of that holiday was busting out a fabulous, new maxi dress I'd invested in. I teamed it with flip flops and my first, beloved, purchase from the newly-launched Kate Moss at Topshop range (a khaki, three quarter length sleeved jacket, if you must know). How bloody bonza did I feel, sashaying down to Sunset Strip in that get-up? It was summer-y, stylish, cool and chic. And floor length. All in one perfect package.
I crossed everything that the return of the maxi wouldn't be a flash in the pan. Sure enough, three summers on and the maxi is big (mahoosive!) news again –
thanks in no small part to Nicole Richie (right). She's Queen of the Maxi imho.
If you're worried about pulling a maxi off fear not, for your friendly neighbourhood Fashion Detective has been picking the brains of Dutch designer (and maxi dress specialist) Noelle Adam on your behalf.
Noelle insists that 'the maxi dress is a timeless style that embraces the feminine shape and suits all figures, and ages' – but height is usually a big concern, particularly for the Kylies and Danniis among us. No one wants to look as if they're wearing their mum's clothes once they're over the age of, well, 12.
'The perfect length of the maxi should be ankle or just above ankle length,' says Noelle, 'approximately 1 cm from the floor. So, to achieve the desired height, the perfect accompaniment would be a pair of high-heeled wedges, which can be easily accessorised with chunky wooden jewellery. If you have a curvier shape, flat sandals often look better for a more casual look, and choosing block colours can be more slimming.'
As for when to wear 'em, Noelle reckons that maxi dresses are no longer the preserve of holidays and special occasions. 'A maxi's appeal is that it can be dressed up or down. They make perfect attire for summer soirees and eveningwear for a lounge bar, dressed with statement jewellery and glamorous heels. They make equally essential beachwear with a cool cotton feel and ease of changing.
'Alternatively, teamed with a blazer and statement necklace the maxi can be worn to more formal occasions. My Cream Majestic Maxi Dress could work for weddings with a contrasting statement necklace, while the Khaki Flower Bomb is perfect for festivals with leather cowboy boots, belt and waistcoat.'
Picking my favourite maxi is a challenge, but let me tell you that Oasis have some stunners on offer right now and I have big plans to obtain this beauty, by hook or by crook.
I've also been coveting this baby from Warehouse, Topshop's two trend offering, this beautiful floral, tie-waist design from ASOS, Miss S's cowgirl classic, Dotty P's cutsie beach bunny and the essential vest maxi every one of us should own.
If I haven't convinced you yet, pop down the shops, have a try on, and I'll be a bacon sandwich if those feelings of raiding your mum's wardrobe don't all come flooding back. Happy days.
My fave maxi from Noelle Adam's collection.
Thanks to Noelle Adam and Emily @ Threepipe.

Slightly odd problem here: I have a scheduled network discovery that is set to import all devices from 2 OUs in Active Directory.
This is where our servers are and in case a new server is installed, I want it to be imported into NPM.
This works just fine.
But, I have twice so far had a device being imported that is not in the selected OUs, it's not even in AD.
One was a workgroup Windows computer, the other a network printer.
If I delete the imported node in NPM, then it just gets imported again the next time the network discovery runs.
This is the only scheduled network discovery that we have and we don't normally use manual network discovery either.

Like my fun title again? Ü I'm trying to be creative. Today is the second day for sneak peeks from Lizzie Anne Designs new sets. Can you guess the names of the sets? They are Deck the Halls and Christmas magic.
I love this teddy in Christmas Magic. I think this would make an adorable baby's first Christmas card. This teddy could also be used for anything baby or young child. I like that you can use a set for more than just one holiday.
This stocking card uses Deck the Halls. The sentiment is also from this set. I am using up my Basic Grey 6 x 6 Christmas pads and almost have this one used up.
Be sure to check out the other DT's blogs to see their sneaks as well as the LAD blog (all are posted in the column on the right). LAD is giving away sets, so you won't want to miss posting on their blog.
Tomorrow these four sets will be available for purchase. Which one is your favorite?

It's a girl
"It's a girl, a film being released this year, documents the practice of killing unwanted baby girls in South Asia. The trailer's most chilling scene is one with an Indian woman who, unable to contain her laughter, confesses to having killed eight infant daughters.
Dr Saleem ur Rehman, director of health services for the Kashmiri Valley, has conceded that a healthy male to female infant ratio in Kashmir in 2001 led him and his team to become complacent. Since 2001, the ratio has dropped from 94.1 to 85.9 girls per 100 boys.
Activists attribute a culture of valuing children by their economic potential to South Asia's patriarchal social model in which men are the sole breadwinners. Sons both carry the family name and work from a young age. Daughter, on the other hand, impose the burden of a dowry before leaving the home upon marriage. Strict moral codes, onerous cultural expectations and demanding domestic responsibilities are all forces that further subjugate women."
This is a very interesting article. Definitely worth checking out.

How to get involved!
I just finished reading Jessica Valenti's Full Frontal Feminism (she's also the force behind the website feministing). At the end of the book she has a chapter titled "Get to It" talking about how you can become educated and involved in the feminist movement.

Enlightened Sexism
I first read Enlightened Sexism for my Voices of Oppression class last spring (as I've mentioned before). This is an easy read, although it is bit long at almost 400 pages. But Douglas' discussion of sexism and the feminist movement through the media, entertainment industry and just general everyday life makes it so interesting.
My Feminist Reading List
Female Chauvinist Pigs
I picked up Female Chauvinist Pigs at the library shortly after I got out of school for winter break. This is one of those books I've seen multiple times at the library/the bookstore/amazon etc. I've just never picked it up for some reason. Man am I glad I finally did. I devoured this book in two days and had to find my little sharpie page flags so that I could remember specific parts I loved (normally I just highlight them... but it was a library book).
Hello all!
I decided to start this blog because I wanted a place to collect all my thoughts about feminist related things. The content will probably be pretty diverse and perhaps not what you would generally think of as "feminist" but things that I am looking at or see in a feminist light.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Women's Studies and ever since I've been out of school I have the urge to write long paper-esque reviews of books or just about things I've been thinking about. I guess that's what happens when the majority of your classes are seriously paper driven. So, in lieu of writing papers… because that would be sort of pointless since I'm not in class right now, I'm going to write blog posts! Honestly I'll try not to be pretentious… because I don't think that's how I really am.
I don't think that just because I have a Women's Studies degree I know everything there is to know about women or feminism or whatever. I definitely do not. The vast expanse of my ignorance is probably shocking. I took a lot of great classes that I loved but there is just no way you can study a movement that's been around for 100 years in 4 semesters.
So, a little bit about myself:
Age: 21.
Current Occupation: Student (going back to school for nursing)
The moment feminism clicked for me: I really wish I could remember this. I took a Philosophy of Feminism class before I went to Florida State and I'd like to think it was during this class. I wanted to major in French but I couldn't because of some stupid requirements so my advisor told me to pick another major. I went back and forth between criminology and women's studies for a while reading about both before finally deciding to do women's studies. I got to school and started taking my classes and loved every one of them!
Favorite classes I took: I loved my Women's Health Issues class that I took with a nursing instructor. This is actually the class that made me think about becoming a midwife, pairing my love of feminism and love of medicine.
I also liked my Contemporary Muslim Women class and my Voices of Oppression class I took my final semester.
Favorite topics to read about/research/think about: Feminism (duh!), sexism, pop culture, women in the media, feminist childbirth and parenting, reproductive rights, and so many more.
Future occupation: Currently I'm taking pre-reqs to get an accelerated Bachelor's of Science in Nursing so I can be a nurse for a while. Right now my areas of interest are Labor and Delivery and Emergency Medicine. I would also like to eventually return to school and get a Master's so I can become a Certified Nurse-Midwife. I would really like to be in a practice with other Midwives and provide home births.
Well there's a bit of the basics. Have you got any more questions for me? I'd love to answer them.
Coming up I'm working on a starter list of my favorite feminist minded books!

With the changing seasons comes the need to update your makeup essentials. What was deemed 'essential' in the summer months is no longer needed when the cold sets in, and there's no situation where streamlining your makeup bag is more necessary than a winter getaway. Here are the items that we at The Urban List recommend you pack this winter when you jet off on holiday (you lucky thing!).
#1 Moisturiser (with SPF)
Moisturising your skin when it's cold is the most important thing you can do ('cos no one wants dry, flaky skin!). But just because you can't see the sun, doesn't mean it's not there. Make sure you pack a moisturiser with added SPF to avoid skin damage and keep your skin hydrated through the harsh winter months.
We love: Dr Jart+ BB cream available from Sephora.
#2 Exfoliator
It's super important to exfoliate your skin every couple of days, especially during the winter months. Exfoliating will remove the layer of dead skin that can cause your skin to look dull, exposing the new, fresh skin and enabling you to look your best, which is always the aim!
We love: Frank Body's creamy face scrub.
#3 Cream blusher and foundation
The colder seasons and its elements will always dry out your skin, and using a powder foundation or blusher will only highlight this. Go for a cream option of both to create a smooth finish on your skin.
We love: Nars Sheer Glow Foundation and Ciate Blush Pop from Mecca Cosmetica.
#4 Brown mascara
Now that you've slightly lost your tan (sob!) black mascara will look too harsh. Opt for a dark shade of brown to keep it natural whilst still creating a bold eye look. Note: ignore this if you have naturally black lashes (lucky you!).
We love: Yves Saint Laurent Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Waterproof in brown from Mecca Cosmetica.
#5 Lip balm
A winter essential. Dry lips be gone!
We love: Philosophy's Kiss Me Tonight Intense Lip Therapy from Mecca Cosmetica.
#6 Red lips
When everyone else is shying away from bold colours in favour of blacks and greys, make a statement with a red lip—the perfect way to jazz up a winter outfit.
We love: Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Moss
#7 Solid gold
Choose a warm gold shade of nail polish or eye shadow to add a bit of sparkle to your look this winter. Gold won't contrast too much with your paler winter skin like a smoky eye or navy nail polish might but will instead add warmth to your look.
We love: The Nail Lab's lacquer in Cleo and MAC Cosmetics eye shadow in Nylon.

Profitable small companies can rapidly fail if they lack cash. Similarly, struggling unprof small businesses can be kept afloat for a long period of time if they have a good cash balance. To puts it simply, cash is the life blood of American small companies.
Small Business Loans in Ider, Alabama
Naturally, when times are difficult, failure to obtain capital to pay everyday operating expenses frequently ends up being a source of worry, anxiety and diversion for small company owners.
In these cases, many small business owners consider seeking short term funding.
Small Business Loans in Ider, Alabama
Sadly, most of huge city and small town conventional loan providers have stiff and rigorous criteria that their clients must satisfy.
Because of this, there is four specific functions that are required by those seeking business financing.
Easy credit approval:
Services have a separate credit score from the business owner. Even if business owner has a high credit report, business might not have a recognized credit report (especially if newly established). For that reason, prospective lending institutions need to use solutions with that take business owner's individual credit into factor to consider and that accepts candidates with less than perfect credit.
Fast Financing Time:
Generally, when an organisation is looking for a loan, they have operating expenses that they have to be able to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be authorized and finances just aren't appropriate to most companies requirements
No Red Tape:
Numerous traditional lenders requires months of bank declarations and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this might not be a big deal to a well-established organisation, it's not extremely helpful for a new business that has actually stayed in business for 6 months to a year
Small Company Friendly:
Oftentimes, physical lending institutions just service organisations doing 20k or more in month-to-month earnings. This disqualifies smaller sized organisations doing 10k-15k in month-to-month profits.
Because of the rigorous previously mentioned qualification requirements imposed by standard lending institutions, increasingly more company owner are turning to the myriad of online lending services now available to small business owners in Ider, Alabama.
GoTorro Small Business Loans supplies rapid financing in just 48 hours, of quantities ranging from $10,000 – $500,000 to borrowers that meet the following basic credentials criteria:
500+ FICO Score
6+ Months in Business
10k+ Monthly Revenue
No collateral, No bank declarations, No Financials, No Tax Returns, and no credit recommendations are needed.

The century chain brings periods of time in handy and visible form. Each ball on the century chain marks one year. Hereby the children will be helped with the colours of Montessori to facilitate the way of counting. The green pearls stand for the single years of a century. The blue pearls for a decade and the red ones for one century. The century chains can be linked endlessly to present more centuries and milleniums. You will find 4 different templates formed according to your own demands. Children like creating these templates. Examples for using: The century chain is hung up. More chains can be linked to show longer periods of time. The side with the red pearl marks the end of the century and shows to the right side when it is hung up. Historical, biological and other periods of time could be presented, for example the history of a town, inventions, backgrounds on public or religious holidays, evolution... Controlling success: The children simply count the pearls arriving to the wished year supported by the known Montessori colours. The article consists of 3 century chains with 100 wooden pearls, approx. 96 cm, 4 templates 1 manual, 1 small retention bag made of cotton
Orders are at the moment only possible on our german homepage. For more details look at set with 3 pieces of century chain. The easiest way to understand periods of time at our german homepage.

2018 Midterms
EXCLUSIVE: Official Records Show Underage Teenagers Voting In Florida
As the vote-counting situation in Florida intensifies, Big League Politics has obtained public information showing that people who are officially listed as being under the age of 18 voted in the state of Florida in the early or absentee voting process.
People must be 18 years old to vote in the state of Florida. Although 17-year olds can vote in a primary if they turn 18 before the general election, no one is allowed to vote in a general election without being 18.
A whistleblower who saw official voter information from the 2018 election confirms to Big League Politics that multiple people listed as under the age of 18 actually voted in this midterm election in the round of early or absentee voting, while dozens more are registered to do so.
Trending: Report: Federal Asset Ordered Terror Attack by Group Allegedly Conspiring to Storm Virginia Capitol
Big League Politics has erased the personal residence information of these individuals from the following pieces of publicly available voter information.
Amazingly, the county governments actually list the registered voters as being younger than 18 years old, according to their birth dates, so this is based on official government information.
("You are eligible to vote in Volusia County for an election that has an election date on or after your 18th birthday," says one official record, right underneath the listed birth date of a listed 17-year old voter.)
The information below includes recent voter registrations, including in the immediate days before the 2018 election.
We will start with people who were flagged on the list of early or absentee voters, and gradually expand the list to all underage persons who are registered to vote in the state of Florida. We have reached out to county elections officials, and will update with their responses as we go along.
Raymond Murga voted in Miami-Dade County, which officially recognizes that he is 17 years old, according to his birth date of May 28, 2001. You can find Master Murga's entry on the Miami-Dade official voter information lookup page.
There is a high school volleyball player named Raymond Murga in Miami, class of 2019.
Demetrius Bundick Jr., born in 2002, voted in Hillsborough County, according to the whistleblower.
There is a Demetrius Bundick in his forties in Tampa, who appears to be related to another Demetrius Bundick, possibly Demetrius Bundick Jr.
[Name Removed], born in 2002, allegedly voted in St. John's County.
The St. John's County board of elections told BLP that although there was a young man in the county registered to vote underage, they have no evidence at this time that the person voted.
Robert Tyler, born in February 2001, voted in Volusia County according to the whistleblower. We are still collecting information on this person at this time.
Dozens more young people are registered to vote in Florida.

San Jose Mayor Abandons Pension Reform Effort
On Friday, San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed (D) said he is abandoning efforts to pass a ballot initiative that would have granted cities greater authority to change pension and retirement benefits for public workers. Reed said the move comes after state Attorney General Kamala Harris (D) wrote an unfavorable description of a proposed ballot measure.

It's been a hell of a week for me. I was going to use that as an excuse to not have a topic, but I'll just use it to apologize for not responding to emails or messages. I actually thought of a topic this morning. (Thanks for inadvertently making me think Dyram.) :P
The school year has ended where I live, and today is the first day of summer vacation for my daughter. When summer rolls around I load up my phone with games, so that when my little one is watching the same episode of "Good Luck Charlie" for the 100th time, I don't have to pay attention.
I'm looking for some good mobile games (particularly RPGs) to play to waste the summer away. What would you guys suggest?
If you don't want to talk about this, feel free to talk about anything!

It was a long time since when our parents run after us and tell us to eat dry fruits so that we can get the nutrients from it.But the reality is another way round it is very odd to know that by drying fruit all the nutrients get depleted and the nutrients are reduced to 30-80% of the Vitamin and antioxidant content in the fruit. Consuming Refrigerated food or dried fruit will not benefit the health to a great extent. Basically, there are four steps for conserving and drying fruits.
1) Picking
2) Stowing
3) Processing
4) Parching
When the fresh raw fruits are harvested from the fields they have high levels of nutrition and anti-oxidants but when they are dried then most of the nutrient content get evacuated and nutritious elements are lost when these fruits come in contact with air and light. Due to high temperature and pressure, the nutrient and vitamin from the fruit get to wipe out. The Vitamin A and Vitamin C get reduced to 80% de hand picking and overpressure and heat treatment.

03 May 2006
AD Group's advanced TransVu mobile digital CCTV recorder has been selected by First Manchester for a major trial - arranged by Digital Transport Solutions - to enhance the safety of passengers and its
drivers as well as to act as a deterrent against fraudulent claims.
For the initial trial phase of the project the TransVu system, which recently won a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category, has been installed by Digital Transport Solutions at First's Oldham depot.
Said Jeff Berg, technical specialist with AD Group who worked closely with Digital Transport Solutions on the project: "Digital Transport Solutions have considerable expertise in the transport sector and we
were delighted that they selected TransVu to be at the very heart of their proposed CCTV solution for First."
TransVu has made a big impact on the way CCTV is managed by large bus fleets worldwide. Images and incidents from a bus are automatically downloaded at the depot, eliminating the need for time consuming manual archiving. Status reports immediately highlight any tampering with the
system, such as masking cameras, and it also assures operators that the system is always operating and no incident will be missed. GPS capability allows the vehicle to report its position immediately to
base, while intelligent power management controls system operation without intervention by an operator.
Commented John Zawada, Managing Director of Digital Transport Solutions: "TransVu is an extremely capable, user friendly and robust system. The combination of this and our commitment to customer support and training are key benefits recognised by First Manchester."
'TransVu has made a big impact on the way CCTV is managed by large bus fleets worldwide.'

Charles Dickens book, "Great Expectations," tells of a poor young man who dreamed that one day he would be a wealthy man and marry a beautiful and rich woman. As often happens, his great expectations turned into a great disappointment.
Young people get married and expect to never have a difficult moment. But a lot can happen between the wedding cake and the silver anniversary cake. It seems that those that do the best in life are those who are able to handle failed expectations without becoming offended at people or God.
The word "offence" means a trap or a stumbling block. It is when you allow an offence to become a snare or allow it to cause you to stumble. Jesus said that offences were inevitable, so the key is not to let those offences stumble us. Paul knew this, so he constantly guarded his heart against being offended at God or man. Acts 24:16. And he had plenty he could have been offended at! While trying to serve God, he was allowed to be beaten, flogged, imprisoned, shipwrecked and rejected by the very people he was trying to save. We can be offended by people who correct us or that don't meet expectations but we can also be offended at God.
John the Baptist, a boyhood friend and relative of Jesus, who ate bugs for a lifetime in order to serve God the best he could, was put in prison but he imagined that Jesus would get him out. After all He broke Daniel, three Hebrew boys, Jeremiah and Joseph out of prison so why not John? Jesus left him in prison to die and said. "And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me." (Matthew 11:6)
We could almost excuse JB from being offended, it seems like a raw deal, but God saw it differently. Jesus told the whole planet that John the Baptist was the greatest person ever born of women. Mat 11:11. That is greater than Moses, David, Samuel and Elijah – the greatest man in 4000 years. And he will be eternally honoured for that. He was the only other man who the Bible says was sent from God. John 1:6 . John had a divine mission, to prepare the world for Salvation and thereby change the entire universe. Since his death he has impacted more people than in his short life, just like Jesus. And he was elevated to heaven to be part of life with Heavenly Father and family. He was a victim for a second but a victor for eternity. If nothing else good happens to us in life and we still get to go to heaven, it's the grace of God and that is a great life.
Friend, To serve Gods purpose in the years we have on earth and then be with God forever, is the grace of God and that is a great life. How are your expectations? As William Carey said "We should expect great things from God and attempt great things for God" but are you expecting from Him more that He actually promised. Don't take offence at God- He is planning a great ending for you. If every day in this life is filled with troubles, we still have a great heavenly expectation.

State-of-the-art simulator helps Omaha police officers in the field
A new state-of-the-art simulator is helping Omaha police officers train for real-life situations.
Video: New simulator helps Omaha police officers in the field
"There are about 75 scenarios that are programmed into the machine," said Sgt. Jeff Baker, of the Omaha Police Department.
VirTra puts a trainee in the middle of a police encounter. Armed with a lifelike gun, the trainee needs to diffuse whatever situation he or she is thrown in to. But split-second decision-making is key.
"Not all of the scenarios are what you'd call shoot scenarios. In other words, some are don't-shoot scenarios, some are situations where the officer has to make a very rapid decision," said Baker.
Some scenarios require the use of the weapon, while others merely require words and nonlethal action.
"We encourage them to interact with the screens as much as they can, move off-line, move around, give verbal direction to people. It's a pretty immersive experience," said Baker.
Jack Lewis, president of the Omaha Police Foundation board, helped fund VirTra. His first test run was not a successful one.
"When I went through it, the guy reached for a can of Coke and I killed him," said Lewis.
It's those decisions, ones that involve split-second decision-making, that law enforcement deal with on a daily basis.
"There's no downside; we'd rather have them make a mistake in here on the simulator than make a mistake on the street, where lives hang in the balance," said Baker.

Key Factors in Website Design
Web design is a key factor in the success of any website. Websites are used by many people for different purposes and that should be reflected in a custom web design.
How the website is to be used determines how it should be designed. A well-designed website is user-friendly making it more effective. Below are some key factors to be considered when designing a website:
1. Clean and simple design
A website should not be appealing to the eyes of the visitors. Content should be displayed in an easy to read format. Your website should also be easy to navigate. A simple and well formatted website is appealing and holds the attention of the visitor as compared to a complicated website full of images and logos making the visitor unable to navigate easily. Your website should have a back-end software for easy maintenance and updates. They spend more time to read simple websites than complicated websites where he or she may not even know where to start reading.
2. Compatibility with both computer and smartphone browsers
Currently many people are using smartphones to browse, for a website to be effective it needs to be mobile friendly. The website should also be compatible with the various computer browsers available. The website should adjust it's size as per the screen of the device used to browse.
3. Security
Websites designed for online transactions requires more security measures to protect the customer's information. To prevent hacking SSL Certificates should be added to the website. Websites should be designed to be free from malware, virus and malicious apps that can be used by hacker to gain access to the website.
4. Loading time
Slow loading websites tends to shun away the visitors. Many people can't wait for more than 10 seconds for a page to load. The website should be tested it's loading speed before it's release. It should also be regularly evaluated to check on it's performance and improvements made where necessary.
5. Hosting
Choose a hosting package and provider that is suitable for your website. When choosing the hosting company and plan consider the traffic, security, backup, and the kind of content that will be in the website either videos, images and others. You should also consider whether you have an in-house support provider and if not go for a package where support is to be provided by the hosting company. When choosing your domain name make sure it is memorable and it reflects your brands.
6. Call to action
You can use the website as a tool for communicating with your customers. Putting a "Contact us today" button in the websites allows customers to communicate with you, they can seek for clarification or make orders using this feature.
7. Content
When designing the website you should create high quality articles. The articles posted in your website should not be duplicates of other sites. Posting copy-pasted articles and media files in your website without permission may lead to fine. Google may also remove your website from Search engine results if you are found posting contents that is not original in your website.

Have you ever wondered what's inside that Pampers, Mamy Poko or Huggies – that makes it soak 30 times its weight in baby's urine.
After a few months of using synthetic disposable diapers, I did my research only to find alarming facts about the absorbent chemicals, dyes & scents that make the core of a disposable diaper.
These chemicals are not only carcinogenic but also have potentially toxic effects to the developing endocrine & reproductive system of babies. What came as the most shocking fact was that – the manufacturers are not required to disclose the chemicals as the FDA allows them to consider this a "trade secret".
So considering all these points making a move to cloth diapering felt like an obvious choice. I have used regular cloth nappies for the first month with Sherry & it was exhausting.
At 6 month mark, since Sherry is getting potty trained, it felt like a perfect time to start with modern cloth diapering. How I wish I knew about them a little earlier!
FIG-O-HONEY is one such brand which is run by Sneha – an IIT Bombay alumni who have worked as a data scientist for 12+years and is also a mother.
After experiencing the comfort & convenience of modern cloth diapers with her second baby, she decided to make high-quality modern cloth diapers for parents in India.
This Bangalore based brand makes – waterproof, washable, reusable & one size pocket style diapers. It has adjustable snap buttons which makes it easy to fit infants to toddlers i.e 4.5kg to 15kg.
The diaper is a pocket style diaper which simply means it has a pocket opening between the outer waterproof shell (or cover) and the inner layer that touches the baby's skin.
The absorbent microfibre insert is placed inside this pocket opening.
Layers of diaper-
📕 Outer printed layer: it is made of polyester with waterproof & breathable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to prevent diaper leaks. It is this layer which has beautiful prints & gives the diaper that debonair look, unlike the monotonous disposable ones.
It also has gentle elastic gussets to contain the mess.
📕 Inner layer: soft microsuede that wicks moisture away & keeps the baby's bottom dry & is stain resistant. Now that's a win-win!
📕 Insert: Absorbent 3-layer microfibres. The feel of the fabric is really soft & is extremely lightweight.
To reach its full absorbency the diaper & insert should be washed 2-3 times before use.
On using the first time – the diaper lasted for close to 2.5-3 hrs (Sherry baby is a medium wetter).
On subsequent use after a few more washes – the absorbency increased & the diaper lasted for approximately 4hrs.
P.S – For night time, 2 absorbent microfibre inserts can be used in the diaper pocket instead of 1.
Wash & Care :
💡Prewash diapers before washing in the regular laundry cycle.
💡It is machine- and hand-washable.
💡Dry in sunlight.
💡Use good quality detergent without any additives or whitening agents.
😀 Gorgeous colours & adorable prints.
😀 Reasonably priced & superb combo deals.
😀 Reduces baby's exposure to harmful chemicals present in disposable diapers.
😀 Economic – cloth diapering, in the long run, is much economic on the pocket. It grows with the baby from size XS – S – M – L. Hence one cloth diaper lasts till the time baby is 2 or 3 years old.
😀 Eco-friendly – a disposable diaper that ends up in a landfill takes 500+ years to decompose. That is more than your's & your baby's lifetime.
😀 Super-fast delivery – I received the products in less than 48hrs.
Cons :
☹ An additional work of washing the diapers.
☹ The insert takes time to dry in monsoon/ rainy days.
☹ The snap buttons are smooth but I would have preferred something like velcro for the fit on the waist.
PRICE – One diaper with 1 microfibre insert costs – ₹ 446.
This beautiful washable & reusable bag is a convenient way to store used cloth diapers on the go.
Unlike disposable diapers, cloth diapers cannot be thrown after use. To store used and unused diapers a wet & dry bag comes in handy.
As the name suggests, the bag has two sections –
1. A WET waterproof section – to store used or soiled cloth diapers.
2. A DRY section to store unused/fresh cloth diapers.
Both the sections are zippered respectively to keep wet & dry items separately. The bag also comes with a loop handle which has a snap button for easy carrying.
The bag is 30cm * 36cm.
Pros –
😀 Gorgeous prints.
😀 Waterproof & reusable.
😀 Can carry 5-7 cloth diapers.
😀 Machine & hand washable.
😃 Lightweight.
😀 Works well for swimming clothes.
😀 Dries easily.
☹ Only 2 prints available – Dianosaur & Emoji.
☹ A little on the expensive side.
The wet and dry bag costs ₹ 535.

Hope this review is helpful & makes it easier for new mums to make the move from harmful synthetic disposable diapers to modern cloth diapers.
Happily Mommying

Infection prevention is a goal for all of us because it costs so much to get sick and we lose so much time from work, school and our family. We often pay attention to washing our hands and proper hygiene to help prevent the little beasts, but have you ever really looked the foods that can make you sick.
The following list is the dirty foods that are most likely to cause food induced illness. What I have placed on this list should be carefully prepared and only purchased from safe sources. I must mention the benefit of organic sources demonstrating often safer and stronger animals to eat as well as the organically grown plants. Share this information with those you love.
Here they are:
- Chicken
- Ground Beef
- Ground Turkey
- Raw Oysters
- Eggs
- Cantaloupe
- Peaches
- Prepackaged Lettuce
- Cold Cuts
- Scallions
God Bless,

International bestselling author Scott Mariani is author of several thrillers which have become major bestsellers in the UK and Europe, and have sold in 30 countries around the world. The series of thrillers all feature the protagonist Ben Hope, a hardened ex-military man who often finds himself a reluctant investigator in a tangled web of dangerous and historical conspiracy.
The Ben hope series will debut in the U.S. in March, 2011 with the launch of THE MOZART CONSPIRACY (Simon & Schuster), and will be followed by the publication of THE DOOMSDAY PROPHECY in 2012. The Ben Hope series includes several other titles as well, including THE ALCHEMIST'S SECRET. Mariani's most recent novel, THE HOPE VENDETTA will be published by Simon and Schuster in 2012.
Scott had the idea for the Ben Hope character while out walking one day, and the first draft of the first novel was written in just three weeks. The book had a brief spell in hardback, selling its print run in less than two months. The Avon imprint of HarperCollins then bought the paperback rights and offered Scott a four-book deal, launching the series in earnest. Within less than a year of the initial contract being signed, Scott was commissioned to write three more Ben Hope books.
THE ALCHEMISTĺS SECRET was an immediate success, storming the Heatseekers list and Tesco and Amazon bestseller charts while selling foreign rights all over the world. The follow-up novel THE MOZART CONSPIRACY appeared in July 2008.
Scott grew up in the historic town of St Andrews, Scotland. He studied Modern Languages and Film Studies at Oxford University and went on to work as a translator, a professional musician, a pistol shooting instructor and a freelance journalist before becoming a full-time writer.
