Hair loss can be very damaging to an individual's ego. Society puts a great deal of value in having a full, thick head of hair and realizing that you not longer have the hair that you once had can be very upsetting. The key, however, is to take action right away to see if there are things that you can do to not only stop the hair loss, but encourage its growth. Many people are unaware of this, but there is strong evidence that various oils can actually do just that.
Best Essential Oils For Hair Loss
Benefits of Rosemary Oil
One of the best oils to help stimulate hair growth is rosemary. It is believed that rosemary helps the hair follicle at a cellular level, encouraging the hair to grow as it once had. There are a number of shampoos available that contain this oil, which makes it very easy to apply regularly, but many swear that the best method is to apply the oil full strength directly to the scalp. This allows it to fully soak into the follicles and has been found to be the most effective means of putting this oil to work.
Another very popular oil that can do a great deal to increase hair growth is known as cedarwood. This oil is known to help increase circulation in the scalp, which then leads to the hair being able to grow as it should. The principle is very similar to the idea that you should vigorously massage your scalp when you wash it. This also increases blood flow to the area. Just like any other part of your body, your scalp will work best when it is getting the blood flow that it needs every day.

Benefits of Lavender Oil
Lavender oil is also extremely useful when it comes to preventing hair loss and stimulating growth. In addition to increasing the circulation to the scalp, it also has been proven to be antimicrobial and antiseptic. This can remove any bacteria that may be the cause of your hair loss. It is well known that having fungal or other types of infection of the scalp can easily go unnoticed and lead to significant hair loss and this oil can help put a stop to that if that is the case. The best part is that lavender is naturally soothing and helps to calm the person that is inhaling its fragrance, which can reduce stress levels. Stress is also known to be a component of hair loss, especially for those that experience a great deal of it during their daily lives.
It is always a great idea to try a natural approach to treating your hair loss before moving on to chemical products. There is a good chance that one of the natural oils listed above will be able to help you realize the hair growth that you desire. Just be sure to try them for a few weeks before trying to decide whether or not they are doing the job as they clearly aren't magic.

A person receiving Social Security Disability Insurance likely has a hard time earning income and probably deals with medical issues as well as stress caused by living with a disability every day. For these people to learn that a bank discriminated against them because of their SSDI status when they applied for a mortgage loan would be even more stressful and frustrating.
Misconduct discharge could disqualify from workers' compensation
In a recent case, the Pennsylvania Workers' Compensation Appeal Board reversed a judge's decision in regards to workplace misconduct and workers' compensation. A driver's discharge, which resulted from a violation of his company's weapons policy, did not necessitate his benefits being suspended.

Injured single mother denied Social Security Disability benefits
Many Pennsylvanians can likely relate to the experiences of a Nevada woman who has been denied Social Security Disability benefits. The single mother suffered severe injuries in a traumatic car accident last year. Her injuries include broken ribs, internal bleeding and a broken pelvis. In addition, doctors had to reattach one foot that was torn off in the accident.
Workplace elevator incident results in $13 million award
A jury has awarded a woman $13 million following a harrowing elevator ride. The woman was injured in a high rise, where she experienced a number of falls in the elevator between the 23rd floor and the basement. She has suffered from post traumatic stress disorder and depression since the incident, when she sustained partial paralysis of her left leg, which left her wheelchair bound for some years.

Common Sense
July 2, 2017
A much as I try to avoid descriptors beyond the basic idea of being human, there are times when some are needed. In a lot of ways, I am an absurdist. I find it difficult to believe and accept notions when there is little evidence to support those conclusions and believe it is an absurdity to do so. I am also a common sensist–might be making up a word there. Work with logic and follow what marks the most sensical path going forward.
There's a great meme I've used a profile picture at various times. It is a panel from a Deadpool comic where Deadpool states, "Shhh! My common sense is tingling." The caption reads, "Common Sense: So rare it is a goddamn superpower." And that is true. I could tell myriad of stories about how people acted without logic or common sense and left everybody wondering, "WTF were they thinking?" And I will confess to a few times I acted against what would seem a common sense approach.
The reason this springs to mind is basically the chaos unfolding on the national stage of our government right now. I look at the two big issues holding attention at the moment–our President being a dipshit and the Healthcare debacle–I have to wonder how much of that is a loss of common sense. I mean look at Healthcare. Big issue: Cost and Availability. The ACA actually did a lot to address these issues, but I think it wouldn't necessarily be too big of a leap to say that more needs to be done. Costs are still expected to skyrocket in the coming years. So common sense would tell us that any new Healthcare Bill would have to address that, right?
As for Drumpf himself… I wonder if his life and upbringing ever gave him the opportunity to develop it. Or if his supporters will show enough to realize that they've been duped. I don't know there is plenty about his decision making that makes me wonder if he has ever experienced common sense. Common sense tells us it is not necessarily healthy for people to put party and corporate interests ahead of country. Yet now we have a political system overwhelmed by ideology and corporate interests.
So we need common sense back. We need to think again. To learn again. To feel again. We need ideas, but also the common sense to put those ideas to the best use. As many thoughts, ideas and concepts I've expressed, there have definitely been moments where I could have exercised a bit more common sense to yield better results. While I have few apologies or regrets, it would be disgustingly arrogant to say I haven't made mistakes. I just try to have the common sense to learn, grow and do better.
Wednesday Wonderings For 6/28/2017
June 28, 2017
And no one suspects a thing
They're all hiding just the same
They ache for an outbound train
And the wheels stopped turning in their brains
"Dance on Stilts" by Blue Oyster Cult
- Started doing some layouts for the superhero comic I've talked about, the one centered around dichotomy. Reread the poem, "The Charge of the Light Brigade" as I began to clarify my outlines. Settling on it being called "The Brigade" for now. Using that as a bit of a loose influence for where my themes are going with. So it is basically that and Overwatch as influences. Hoping to start some serious work on that as I get Order of the Dragon's first story closer to done. Hopefully going to have the first issue pretty down to only lettering and touch-ups by the end of the week, inking page
- Is just me, or does it feel like the White House is keeping the Russia thing alive longer than it ever should have? I mean, if there was nothing illegally or morally questionable done, couldn't Trump have laid all this to rest with his tax returns? Or by simply keeping his mouth shut? I don't know, just feels like we're getting conned all over again.
- Made it to the meeting for the Vermont Comic Creators thing. It was good to be social again. Hoping to do more with it in the coming months. Kind of fun that we have this going on in Vermont.
Wednesday Wonderings For 6/7/2017
June 7, 2017
Those cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
-George Santayana
- Plugging away with the comics. I feel I've made a lot of progress and I can really do some stuff with it now. Looking into some Print on Demand/Self-publishing options for when I've gotten to that point. Doing a lot of sketch cards and tiles for later use.
- Hear very good things about the Wonder Woman movie. Planning to go see it on Thursday or Friday. If I really cared much for the DC vs. Marvel debate, I would say that DC has taken a bit of a lead if only because I feel they've done more with their female characters over four movies than Marvel has over twelve.
- So I never really thought Kathy Griffin was all that funny or relevant to much of anything. The picture of her the other day with the bloody Trump head was kind of weird. I mean, I get that it bothered Barron Trump to see that type of thing. However, did anyone think about Obama's two daughters the myriad of times that he was lynched in effigy? It was kind of glorified by various individuals and dismissed. Now that its Trump, we're supposed to be outraged? No. If Griffin is going to go through all this, drag Ted Nugent and all those tea party jackasses into it too. They got a free pass and Trump signed up for this.
- Shockingly enough, Bill Maher said something outrageous. That's never happened before. Although this time he did go to an extreme with the "N" word. A lot of people calling for HBO to fire him. I've liked his show and thought he made a variety of good points. The thing is, I feel that a lot of what he does is done by the Daily Show and the various off-shoots of that. And they tend to do it better if only because they keep their egos more under control.
- So apparently Jeff Sessions has offered to resign recently. Or at least that's what an article I saw indicated. I don't know how true that is. It does raise I have pondered lately. How stable are Trump's appointees? Especially if he continues to display his lack of stability? People are all worried about Mike Pence becoming President, but we won't know how many dominos will fall until the first one does or how many will.
- It is important to remember that experiences can still teach long after they have occurred. I feel I can say with certainty I won't fuck up the same way twice. The next job, the next relationship, the adventure… will all be better than ever.
Truth and Understanding
June 2, 2017
I've written a lot about ideas. Beliefs and truths. Points of view and facts. Breaking those down and knowing which is which has become an increasingly difficult task of late. Given how quickly our government and media is degrading into an Orwellian/1984 propaganda machine, the ability to differentiate fact and fiction has become a harder one to master.
Part of this comes from the various aspects of my personal life and experiences, but it does go all the way to the leaders of our government. It is important to realize how far we go to convince ourselves of things we know aren't true. And how challenging it can be to find deeper understandings and truths in a lot of the ideas we cling to.
Listening to Donald Trump talk about Coal, I have to wonder if he really has this business savvy that he claims. Coal is an industry who's time has passed. For decades it has made up a tiny percentage of our energy production, steadily decreasing every year as we come up with cleaner and more efficient ways to power our country. To my knowledge, this is generally accepted. So how is it good business to keep an industry that makes up a tiny percentage of our energy production on life support when we've already got better ways to do it?
And more local, the solar panels my uncle had considered putting in the old farm land. He and my father had worked out a deal with a solar panel company, and things were moving in that direction. Then the town select board meeting came up. My aunt decided to attend and voiced some strong opposition to it. Rather than get involved in a potential domestic dispute, the solar company passed on putting panels there. Personal politics aside–I'm all for solar panels and was actually somewhat impressed that my uncle wanted to go this route–I would say my aunt's choices in this matter show a lack of understanding of the situation. Both her and my uncle being in their sixties and had some relatively recent health issues, so how much longer do they plan on farming? Because they are not making that much money and will likely have to sell off the land and animals in the relatively near future. In a sense I actually thought my uncle was making a smart decision in acknowledging that farming was not a long term plan by itself.
Paris Accords are on my mind so that is kind of where I'm starting with this, mostly because it parlay the point I'm trying to make about how we struggle to understand and accept truth. There's a lot about that just screams a refusal to understand these fundamental truths about our world, our economy and our future.
In general, I feel like there is a disconnect between the world we perceive and the world as it is. In writing about relationships, this is something I've noticed frequently as much as it is prevalent in politics and economics and other areas. We're conditioned into accepting truths without questioning or truly understanding them.
Some Odd Articles That Stuck Out To Me
April 14, 2017
I like just posting a few links to avoid overloading people with these things.
- Toxic habits in a relationship that most people don't realize are toxic. I will admit that this does describe some situations I've been in. Hints and passive aggression? Done and had it done to me. Holding the relationship hostage? Yeah and she effectively killed it. Loving jealousy? Oh yeah. Buying solutions? Definitely and I've observed others doing it. To be blunt, this article basically describes a past relationship and it was exhausting. This is really a big part of why I've chosen to remain single or avoid a standard relationship. There are a lot of bad habits we are conditioned into believing are healthy and positive. One thing I've tried to do is identify bad habits in myself and in past partners to better understand their impact and address them when I can. Part of the problem is we're conditioned into believing these are acceptable behaviors and that makes it difficult for relationships to work. Also a reason I recommend Stranger In A Strange Land to people.
- The GOP and Trump can't seem to wrap their heads around healthcare. Describing their repeal efforts as zombie is an apt comparison. It will eat them alive. Personally, I always considered the ACA a good starting point. Not a finished product. It does a lot of good and could do more if the glaring flaws are addressed. Get costs down. Stop letting the providers hold it hostage.
- Dairy-free diets might not that good for you. I've heard about how milk being not that good for you as it contributes to clogged arteries, but dairy in other forms has its benefits. I stick to cheese, whey protein or Greek Yogurt for the bulk of my dairy. Seems to work for me. I am usually skeptical of Vegetarian and Vegan diets, if only because I've been of the opinion that our diets evolved the way they have for a reason.
Wednesday Wonderings For 3/29/2017
March 29, 2017
The Ancient One: Arrogance and fear still keep you from learning the simplest and most significant lesson of all.
Dr. Stephen Strange: Which is?
The Ancient One: It's not about you.
- That exchange from the Doctor Strange movie keeps coming back to me. Kind of hits a point most people keep missing and refuse to acknowledge when it smacks them in the face.
- Taking a bit of break from Overwatch, playing a bit more Skyrim. Put off working on my PS4. I think I'll try to play Overwatch more when I know people I actually know are playing. Haven't played very much as the new character, interesting power set though.
- Came across an article last week that really got me thinking. It was essentially discussing how difficult it is to study relationship without showing a bias towards monogamy. The basic conclusion was that we are conditioned into believing that all relationships should strive towards a monogamous male-female set up and that's the ideal. That conditioning also makes it less likely for an unbiased study of relationships. It just made a lot of really good points about how much of what take to be our cultural ideals are in fact things we're conditioned into rather than what we determine are best for ourselves. Not saying that everybody should go try a polyamorous lifestyle, but it does help to remind people to not take everything at face value.
- I've written in the past about Tomi Lahren, mostly stating that I find her to have a limited understanding of the topics she discusses and more parrots her talking points than anything else. Apparently she lost her job at the Blaze over the abortion comments she made on the View. Glenn Beck has responded with some criticism of her remarks, citing a lack of intellectual honesty on Lahren's part. While I don't necessarily disagree with Glenn Beck on that, but her comments were on par with her statements on a number of other issues and did not yield a response. Why was this the line that she shouldn't have crossed?
- I've really avoided writing about abortion. I don't think nearly enough women have been a part of that conversation and that needs to change. To a certain extent, I do think we need to reevaluate it from a modern viewpoint. I do think the moral and religious arguments against abortion are too deeply rooted in a time where life expectancy was considerably shorter than it was today and the infant mortality rate was much higher. With that in mind, it is important to acknowledge that there are more people alive now than ever before and they are living longer–to the point where we struggle to feed the people already living. On that thought, I do think it is somewhat irresponsible to bring a baby into the world if it is not likely to have the opportunities we all deserve at birth. I have also heard the argument that Roe v. Wade resulted in lower crime rates as there were fewer unwanted pregnancies and therefore fewer children at risk to get involved in crime due to growing up in a disadvantaged situation. However, the choice is not society's to make. It should be between the parents and their doctors.
- Finish today's post on something a bit more… fun. Starting to rearrange some things to facilitate more drawing. I've been slacking, but hopefully that will be remedied soon. Have been doing a bit of a series of drawings that I post on Instagram, calling them the "Pretending to be working" series. It gets the stuff going at least.
- Made tacos with Bison meat. It was good. I should make Tacos more often.
Speaking Truth
February 10, 2017
I was reading something the other day about how Tom Perez and his bungling a comment about last year's Democratic Primary. He acknowledged that the primary process was rigged against Bernie Sanders in favor of Hillary Clinton and that the next DNC Chair Person would have to be "honest" and "transparent" to succeed. Then he essentially retracted the statement, stating that he "misspoke". Or rather the party elders and establishment got wind of it and voiced their disapproval. Cue the groaning and eye-rolling. He was right the first time.
I'm trying to be a little less political, but this article I read kind of fits with my general train of thought on a number of matters. Our whole political system needs an influx of new ideas. Why do you think Bernie Sanders, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party had such a significant impact on the election last year? However, those ideas cannot be expected to flourish if truth cannot be acknowledged.
One of the overarching themes I've tried to deal with in my writing this blog has been the "Idea of Ideas" and how important it is to always embrace new ideas and information. When it comes to truth, I often quote Obi-Wan Kenobi from Return of the Jedi. In explaining his misleading account of what happened to Luke's father, Kenobi states that "Many of the Truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." I keep throwing that line out there, but it is a good line.
Ideas were a focus of mine here, but how we regard those ideas is also worth looking at. Truth and belief can be subjective, but they can inspire ideas. I will admit that something I've struggled with is knowing when to challenge people's truths and ideas. Where the lines are drawn. I have disregarded a myriad of them, but sometimes that needs to happen too. Although I would hope my writing here does occasionally inspire people to look at their beliefs, ideas and truths from a different perspective, I don't claim absolute authority on right or wrong here. I'm sure there a number of opinions on that. I simply hope I challenged some truths and some new ideas came as a result of them. Even if it is just an expanded perception, I think it would be a benefit.
Regardless of the situation, ideas and truth need to be challenged.

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday is likely to pronounce its verdict on the review pleas of three out of the four convicts sent to the death row in the 'Nirbhaya' gang rape and murder case.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra and justices R Banumathi and Ashok Bhushan is expected to deliver its judgement on the pleas of Mukesh (29), Pawan Gupta (22) and Vinay Sharma (23).
The four death row convict, Akshay Kumar Singh (31), has not filed a review petition against the apex court's May 5, 2017 judgement.
Advocate A P Singh, representing Akshay Kumar Singh, said, "Akshay has not filed a review petition yet. We will be filing it."
The apex court in its 2017 verdict had upheld the capital punishment awarded to them by the Delhi High Court and the trial court in the case of gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old paramedic student on December 16, 2012 here.
She was gang raped on the intervening night of December 16-17, 2012 inside a running bus in South Delhi by six persons and severely assaulted before being thrown out on the road. She succumbed to her injuries on December 29, 2012 at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.
One of the accused in the case, Ram Singh, had allegedly committed suicide in the Tihar jail here.
A juvenile, who was among the accused, was convicted by a juvenile justice board. He was released from a reformation home after serving a three-year term.
In its judgement, the Supreme Court had said that the "brutal, barbaric and diabolic nature" of the crime could create a "tsunami of shock" to destroy a civilised society.

Lisa is the best thing to happen to Pet Sitting. She is truly passionate about animals and goes above the call of duty when it comes to watching our 2 dogs and 19yr old cat. She always has their best interest at heart and ensures there needs are met even if it means
she has to make a trip to the pet store, take them for a special walk, clean up their messes or even brush them! Lisa never seems inconvenienced! She also understands the love we have for our pets and sends texts, pictures and even the most amazing videos to keep us connected when we're away from our fur babies. Lisa is more like a family member than a pet sitter and don't know what we would do without her!!

K9- Companion was a true lifesaver for my wife and I. We needed someone extremely gentle yet experienced in insulin administration with our 8 yr old Yorkie "Callie".Lisa showed us not only was she capable and efficient, but so loving and compassionate with her. Callie can be a handful and we have had our experiences with our local veterinarian for boarding but never again as long as Lisa is around!! Lisa sent us picture text updates everyday to give us the piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. K9-Companion is no doubt the best we have ever hired!!
Marc and Joyce Thieman Franklin, Mi
To find someone to love, spoil and play with your best friend as I do, is a challenge. My past pet sitters/walkers will tell you I can be demanding. K9 -Companion is the real deal! My Lucy (GOLDEN RETRIVER) is my life, she was a rescue from Detroit with a small chance to live, 6 yrs ago. My vet prepared me that her chances were slim to make a full recovery from malnutrition and cancer . Lucy beat the odds with flying colors and continues to surprise us all.
Lisa has away with animals, she is almost "ONE OF THEM" they respond to her with such loyalty and trust. I know everyday at lunchtime that Lucy is having a great walk and being spoiled by Lisa. If you need a loving caregiver that gives 150%..it is K9-Companion hands down!

Search engine marketing (SEM) is the combined process of search engine optimisation (SEO) and pay-per-click advertising (PPC) on a particular website.
Although the results of successful SEO and PPC campaigns will appear on the same page of search engine results, the behind-the-scenes processes to gain each result are quite different from each other.
SEO and PPC have apposing strengths and weaknesses. By combining the strengths of each of the two processes they become extremely powerful. In a perfect world, your new or existing web site would immediately gain a lot of free/cheap, relevant search engine traffic.
Let's look at the strengths of each in attaining this perfect world scenario:
PPC = Fast
SEO = Much slower
Traffic to your web site from SEO takes anywhere from 3 to 18 months to gain momentum, however, and increase in traffic using PPC can be gained in a matter of hours, days or weeks, depending on how extensive a campaign is setup.
SEO = Lower
PPC = Higher
The cost per visitor to your website from PPC will be higher than that from SEO, because you pay for every click on your PPC adverts, however, there is the time and effort involved with gaining the SEO rankings in the first place – there is no direct payment for each click.
PPC = Very useful
SEO = Less useful
Due to the shear volume of search phrases, it is possible to test different search phrases to determine which are the most effective in driving targeted traffic to your website.
It is much more difficult to target search phrases with SEO, so using PPC in the first instance to aid in making decisions on which search phrases are the most effective, you can then use these search phrases in the SEO on your web site.
SEO = High
PPC = Lower

Learn more about Farm Subsidies
A farm subsidy is a form of financial aid paid to farmers by the government. The purpose of the aid can be to supplement their income or influence the cost and supply of agricultural products. The U.S. government pays farmers more than $20 Billion a year in farm subsidies. Proponents argue that the subsides are necessary since net farm income has decline by 32% between 2014 and 2015. Opponents argue that the farmers should fend for themselves and point out that 2,300 farmers who do not grow crops receive annual subsidies. See recent farm subsidy news

Same-Sex Attraction
Help us expand our reach! Please share this article
Constitutional amendments to protect marriage as the union between one man and one woman have been overwhelmingly successful at the ballot box. Yet courts and legislatures continue to impose a radical redefinition of marriage on states.
I am convinced that the major reason for this is that those signing on to these changes believe that same-sex attraction (SSA) is 1) genetically determined and 2) unchangeable and therefore is a condition that deserves special protection from discrimination.
The fact is there is no scientifically replicated evidence that support either claim. If SSA were genetically determined, then we would expect that identical twins would virtually always have the same pattern of sexual attraction, but this is not the case. A study of men in the Australian Twins Registry revealed that in only 11% of the cases if one identical twin had SSA, so did the other twin. Given the similarities normally found in identical twins this precludes genetic determinism. There is a greater chance that a mans identical twin will share his political party affiliation than his same-sex attraction.
Other studies have confirmed these finds and there is no evidence for a genetic link in women. I do know a pair of sisters who both experienced SSA. One has since, through prayer, been set free from these attractions after 20 years in same-sex relationships. Looking back, she is convinced that her SSA was in part related to the fact that her mother was depressed and unable to provide a positive model of womanhood, but mostly due to her experience of being raped at a young age by a relative and then watching as her sister was raped by the same person. Traumas and deficits may occur in the same family, but that doesnt make the problems arising from them genetic.
When scientists tried to replicate the studies that were widely publicized as having found evidence of a gay gene, they failed. The book Sex, Cells, and Same-sex Desire: The Biology of Sexual Preference (simultaneously published in two issues of the Journal of Homosexuality) examined claims for a biological cause for SSA. The editors, David Parker and John DeCecco (who by the way reject religious teachings on sexual morality) concluded, Current research into possible biological bases of sexual preference has failed to produce any conclusive evidence. These studies omit the influence of psychological and sociological factors on sexual expression. Since the book was published, the evidence against a biological cause has mounted.
Real change is possible. Studies going back 50 years have found that with or without therapy, some people do change their pattern of sexual attraction; although this is not to suggest that such a change is easy or that all who attempt it succeed.
Many of those who are unhappy with their SSA because it violates their religious and ethical beliefs, or simply because they are not comfortable in the gay lifestyle, do not aspire to the development of other sex attraction or marriage. They are content to be free from what they regard as unwanted and compulsive same-sex sexual attraction and only want to live a healthy, celibate life. Courage is a support group for such persons. Those who want to gain understanding into the roots of the SSA can contact the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) to find a therapist who can help them. PFOX (Parents and Friends of ExGays) offers support for families and for those who have come out of the life.
Unfortunately, those caught up in the gay lifestyle, which is too often characterized by promiscuity, short-term relationships, and infidelity, find it difficult to believe that once a person has been involved in same-sex relationships they can be happy living a celibate life. They accuse those who have left the lifestyle of lying or deceiving themselves. When persons who have come out of the lifestyle want to tell their story, the gay activists lobby to have them silenced. The activists are especially insistent that these men and women not be allowed to speak to students and offer a different perspective. They insist that students be told that persons with SSA were born that way and cant change.
The public and students in particular, have a right to hear both sides of this important issue. Public schools should not be promoting provably untrue information as fact and denying those who have scientific evidence to support their point of view the right to speak. It is essential that the truth about SSA be widely proclaimed and that the voices of those who have achieved real change be heard. Only then, will the public understand why defending marriage as the union between one man and one woman does not discriminate, but is based on the truth about the human person.

Entity extraction is a core capability of text analytics, so I thought I'd step through an example of how it works.
Note: Learn about the all the different text analytics capabilities in my last post Text Analytics: A Spectrum of Enrichment Techniques.
Consider the following text that talks about Apple and Berkshire Hathaway. Entity extraction lets you pick out the entities in the text (companies, persons, locations) and then help you understand how they are related to other.
For cognitive search to work, you need text analytics, which is why it's a key component of the Attivio Cognitive Search Platform. There is a range of capabilities within text analytics to understand, so I thought I'd take you through them and explain how they work.
These days, there's pretty much a trade show for everything — and predictive analytics is no exception. The most recent stateside edition of Predictive Analytics World™ took place in Chicago in June of this year. And predictive maintenance occupied a prominent place on the agenda. One presentation concerned failure and fault detection for Rolls Royce.
A recent study by IDC, Data Age 2025: The Evolution of Data to Life-Critical, projects that the amount of data subject to analysis will grow by a factor of 50 between now and 2025. Further, the amount of analyzed data affected by cognitive systems will grow by a factor of 100 to 1.4ZB (zettabytes).
Remember the frustrations of key word search? If you need a refresher, just check out If Google Was a Guy. It's funny—in a way that makes you kind of squirm in your seat. Of course, in the early days of search engines, power searchers used Boolean query operators. We have George Boole, 18th-century English mathematician, to thank for that.
Some days, it seems that new machine learning applications are popping up everywhere you look in the news. In this author's opinion, the search market seems to have anointed machine learning as the new hotness. This is a fascinating realization, because anyone who has spent more than a couple years deploying search in the enterprise knows that machine learning has been used and applied in exciting and unique ways for years and years.
If you've been following the Attivio blog, you'll know that we have not been shy about sharing our ideas on what we see in the Big Data market right now. But in this post, our CEO, Stephen Baker, shares our predictions for the industry in 2017.
Time will tell how accurate these predictions are, but these are the trends we see bubbling up as we talk to customers, analysts, and others in the ecosystem.
As an Attivio Solutions Architect, I often work to help companies customize (a.k.a., hack) our Cognitive Search and Insight technology to meet their unique search demands. It's worth sharing some of the most common hacks in the risk space.
Forrester's 2015 Wave on Search and Knowledge-based Discovery is out, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of search-based applications. We are pleased that Forrester designated Attivio as a Leader in this category and that the evolution described suggests an important connection between next-generation search and the opportunities of Big Data.

Tips from Top Designers on How to Decorate with Antiques
Featuring Mary Helen McCoy, Charlotte Moss, David Easton and Ralph Harvard
CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 15, 2008 – Decorating with antiques can be one of the toughest tasks if one is not familiar with the tricks of the trade. Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques is one of the nation's premier sources for fine and unusual, period 16th – 19th century French furniture and decorative arts. In addition to being an antiques dealer and President of Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques, Mary Helen McCoy is an accomplished decorator. Charlotte Moss, David Easton and Ralph Harvard are among the top designers in the interiors world and are well-versed in decorating with antiques. These designers join McCoy in providing answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about how to decorate with antiques.
"One of the greatest rewards in the decorating and antique industry is the interaction you have with your customers and the ability to recommend something that will bring them daily lasting pleasure," McCoy said. "It is important to suggest which great pieces you should mix in a room while still adhering to the personal taste of the client."
Can You Mix Furniture and Accessories from Different Periods in the Same Room?Should you try to stay with one time period or create an ensemble that features products from numerous time periods? According to McCoy, it is wise to mix contemporary and modern pieces with antiques instead of having a period room that creates a stiff setting. "By mixing furnishings like a contemporary sofa, modern art and wonderful antiques, you can create an ambiance that is comfortable and inviting, as well as distinctive and elegant," McCoy said. While mixing contemporary products with antiques is currently a popular decorating technique, it is not necessary to do this in every room. An example of a stunning antique to mix with modern pieces is the French, Louis XIV period, marquetry commode from Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques. This sophisticated antique has a rounded rectangular top with molded brass edge, inlaid with a central floral spray of a basket of flowers flanked by birds with arabesque scrolls, acanthus leaves, insects and grotesque masks, above three long drawers similarly inlaid. Combining this stunning commode with a contemporary sofa and modern accessories could create a distinctive décor.
Charlotte Moss, who has used Mary Helen McCoy as a source in her decorating projects, has become a trusted voice on achieving a discerning elegance that is informed with a mood of comfort and livability. She also recommends mixing periods. "I call it generational decorating – whether it's the family or decorating – mixing creates excitement," Moss said.Ralph Harvard adds that "good pieces from any period always work well together." Restoration, preservation and renovation of period buildings are his firm's specialty and he is among the top experts on eighteenth century architecture in the country.
What Furniture and Accessories Make the Best Statement in a Room?
Choosing a piece that gives a powerful impression can be difficult. It is not only necessary to select one really striking piece of furniture, but also to focus on the big picture. According to David Easton, who has made his name as a neo-classicist, his erudition of architecture and decoration is wide-ranging and continuing, the most important first piece of furniture that goes into a room is a mantle. Secondly, the most important decoration to select is a carpet. Once these vital elements are taken care of, table settings and wall hangings can be added. "The biggest impact is a wonderful mirror on any wall," said Easton. "A mirror is an additional window in the room."
A stunning example of a mirror that can be used as an additional window is the French, Régence period, gilt wood mirror from Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques. This would add a decorative touch to a room while making the room look larger because of its reflection. "An ornate mirror provides something for the eye to become immediately attracted to, as well as serves a functional purpose within the room," McCoy said.
Ralph Harvard believes that it is more about the big picture rather than the individual accessories. "You want someone to walk in and say 'What a beautiful room' not 'What a beautiful chair' or 'What a beautiful wall color,'" said Harvard. If everything is complementary and works well together, it will be a great room.
How to Combine Different Textures and Colors in a Room?
Two of the most visually appealing elements of interior decorating are texture and color. With a wide variety of textures and colors available, it can become difficult to decide how to combine them. "You may use antique upholstered furniture with a more modern fabric and color," McCoy said. "The mix of contemporary fabrics with antique furniture and accessories will give the room a distinctive personality."
An example of an antiques show stopper is the 18th century German bureau made of 17th century marquetry by Antonio and Luccio de Lucci of Venice from Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques.
This piece features components from both Germany and Italy and a scrolling strapwork border amongst panels of scrolling leaves, birds and insects that would add elegance and distinction to a room. McCoy could envision this with a nice, crisp paint color used as a background.
Can You Put Furniture with Different Finishes in the Same Room?
The use of furniture with different finishes in the same room, if done properly, can have a profound effect. When approached with this question, all designers agree that the answer is yes. "A mix of finishes suggests furniture that has aged gracefully, been accumulated over time and loved accordingly," said Moss. Harvard believes mixing finishes is a good technique to use. "It is good to mix a highly glossed or finished piece with a rougher finish so that it is not too intimidating," he said. The pair of French, Louis XVI period, painted, beechwood fauteuils stamped, "C. SÉNÉ" from Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques would provide a striking counterpoint to a contemporary setting that would by contrast highlight their delicate and intricate detail. These armchairs are decorated with carvings of flowers and leaves resting on tapering fluted legs. "Combining fine antiques, such as these, with modern furnishings with a different finish may, when skillfully done, create a unified appearance in a room without having the stiff, repetitive look of a period room," McCoy said.
How to Achieve Harmony in a Room?
There are many other factors to take into account when decorating with antiques. "The most critical element overall of decorating is the total sculptural relationship of the furniture to the interior architecture – it's exactly like music," said Easton. In essence, every piece of furniture contributes to the harmony of the room similarly to how every note contributes to the harmony of a song. Other noteworthy advice includes what to look for when purchasing fine antiques. Easton said one should look for sustainability to the overall interior architecture and architecture of the house – and its relationship to the overall design impact that is implied in the decoration.
Antiques as an Investment
Harvard believes the investment quality of antiques is a noteworthy topic. "Buyers have to take into consideration that antiques hold value so much more than new furniture," he said. "The piece may not go up in value, but it won't go down."
When shopping for accessories, Moss recommends buying "First and foremost – the ones that you love, the ones that say who you are." She offers examples of these accessories including a beautiful mirror that makes a great statement and is a good investment, a pair of candlesticks that are not only about a beautiful object but a candlelit room and a porcelain jardinière that is visibly placed with an orchid or flowers. As far as how many accessories to use, "Fewer and well chosen would be my mantra," she said.
McCoy believes antiques are not only a solid investment, but also a critical element to the shaping of a home. "Our homes are where we spend most of our lives," she said. "Therefore, the best investment is an antique that gives you the greatest pleasure and accurately portrays your personality." Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques is based in Charleston, S.C. Charlotte Moss & Company, David Easton, Inc. and Ralph Harvard, Inc. are all based in New York, N.Y.
Mary Helen McCoy Fine Antiques exhibits in prominent, national and international fine art and antique fairs, including the upcoming International Fine Art and Antique Dealers Show in New York City in October. The firm is one of only 15 dealers in the United States to be a member of the prestigious Syndicat National des Antiquaires (SNA). It is also a member of the esteemed Confédération Internationale des Négociants en Oeuvres d'Art (CINOA) and The Art and Antique Dealers League of America for which Mary Helen serves on the Board of Directors. Mary Helen also serves on the Board of Trustees for the Birmingham Museum of Art.

Johnson & Johnson pays $400m in compensation after product was linked to cancer
We've all used talcum powder at some point in our lives. Whether it is to stop your skin from rubbing and chafing, or you were just simply covered in the stuff when you were a kid, at some point we have all had a bottle of talcum powder patted onto us.
However, the medical, pharmaceutical and consumer giant that manufactures the product, Johnson & Johnson, is now being forced to pay out an absolutely massive fine due to the link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer. The company has been ordered to pay out $417 million, in what is the largest sum to have been awarded in a series of cases against the company in the US.
The case was brought forward by Eva Echeverria in Los Angeles, who is currently battling ovarian cancer. She alleges that Johnson & Johnson have failed to successfully warn their customers about the dangers of using talcum powder and its potential risks of cancer.
Echeverria says the fact that she has been using the product for over 60 years has led to her developing ovarian cancer, which she was diagnosed with in 2007. In her lawsuit, the cancer is described as developing as a "proximate result of the unreasonably dangerous and defective nature of talcum powder", and Echeverria is hoping that the company will now put additional warnings on its products moving forward.
Her attorney, Mark Robinson, said:
"Mrs Echeverria is dying from this ovarian cancer and she said to me all she wanted to do was to help other women throughout the whole country who have ovarian cancer for using Johnson and Johnson for 20 and 30 years.
"She really didn't want sympathy. She just wanted to get a message out to help these other women."
The jury's award includes $68m in compensatory damages and a further $340m in punitive damages after the jury saw internal documents in which, according to Robinson, "showed the jury that Johnson & Johnson knew about the risks of talc and ovarian cancer." Robinson went on, adding: "Johnson & Johnson had many warning bells over a 30-year period but failed to warn the women who were buying its product."
Carol Goodrich, a spokeswoman for the company said that they will be appealing the decision, but did say that they sympathise with the woman and her situation.
This isn't the first case that the company have had to deal with in the last few years. In fact, it's the fifth. The previous trials have seen a Missouri jury award $110m to a woman in 2012, while three trials in St Louis last year saw Johnson & Johnson fork out $72m, $70.1 and $55m respectively.
The charity Ovacome, who focus on ovarian cancer, have said that while there is no definitive evidence that talc causes cancer, the worst case scenario is that using talc will increase your risk of cancer by a third. However, they did issue a warning to women planning on using the product, saying:
"Ovarian cancer is a rare disease, and increasing a small risk by a third still gives a small risk. So even if talc does increase the risk slightly, very few women who use talc will ever get ovarian cancer."
It's a pretty shocking case and will no doubt make a lot of women think twice before they buy talcum powder, which is something that is so readily available at supermarkets. It will be interesting to see if Johnson & Johnson change to packaging on the bottle to reflect the new cases.

University Rankings - how do we stack up and why are they important
For some of you - and your parents - the ranking a university holds for a subject or course can be a major factor in your decision whether to attend that institution.
Rankings can help in providing reassurance that the course you are thinking about is being taught well and to international standards. The latest 2017 QS World University Rankings by Subject report, released in early March, certainly confirms that our eight universities are indeed meeting (and often exceeding) true international levels.
More: how are the QS World University Rankings worked out
How did our universities rank?
New Zealand universities posted top 50 rankings in 22 of the 46 subjects reviewed in the latest QS Top Universities rankings, and were ranked in the top 100 universities for 85% of these subjects. These results sound even better when you consider that 4430 universities around the world were included in the rankings, although not all offered all 46 subjects under review.
There were some really good results in the latest rankings. These include:
- Otago ranking 7th in the world for Sport-related subjects (the first time sports have been included in the evaluation).
- Otago also ranked 24th in Anatomy and Physiology, 29th in Dentistry, 40th in Archaeology
- Auckland ranking 16th in the world for Archeology and 20th in the world for Education
- Auckland also ranked 29th in English Language and Literature, 33rd in Psychology, 34th in both Geography and in Anatomy and Physiology, 36th in Law, 37th in Accounting and Finance and 38th in Civil and Structural Engineering
- Massey ranked 23rd in Veterinary Science, and 27th in Agriculture and Forestry
- Waikato and AUT both featured in the top 50 universities globally offering subjects or courses in Hospitality and Leisure Management (hard to top the natural best ranker here – The University of Nevada in Los Vegas)
Read how the New Zealand universities performed in the 2017 QS World University Rankings by Subject
Are rankings important, and if so, why?
Many parents believe that a better ranking can help you into a better degree and in turn into a better job. For them, the 'quality' of your degree is much more important that the university experience, and if you are paying big money to study, it should be worth it. These are hard arguments to dispute.
Universities love rankings, but only if they score well in them. All are happy to use rankings as marketing tools when they good, and in Auckland's case it has an impressive story to tell being ranked highest in NZ for 37 of the 40 subjects it was ranked on.
Central to the universities' affection for good rankings is the quality of student they attract. The better rankings hopefully draw better students (especially if entry is restricted) who in turn excel and build the course and university reputation, and up go the rankings again.
Rankings are important in universities being able to attract high quality teaching and research staff, to attract other institutions to conduct joint research programmes and to win government and philanthropic research funding. It's a sure bet that the staff in Otago's School of Physical Education, Sport and Exercise Sciences will be hoping their high global ranking might save some of the jobs currently under threat in the department.
Should you be choosing a university on rankings alone?
Really rankings are (or should be) just one factor in your decision. Sure, try to aim as high as you can, but balance this against a bunch of others in order to find the sweetest spot for you.
Accommodation will be a huge factor in helping decide where you go, especially when staying at home is becoming a default option for many students. The student lifestyle on offer is important for many students, as are support services for students as well as very real financial concerns (eg, getting part time work, flatting costs, transport costs).
New Zealand students and parents can take lots of useful information from university rankings, and a lot of reassurance that our universities are up with some of the world's best. However, to make them the only factor in your decision just might not end up giving you the university experience and outcome you have been dreaming about.

The purpose of this document is to clarify the types of editing services we provide, and what our clients and team members can expect.
Why shouldn't writers and editors get the credit they deserve and improve their public image? Just as the visual industry uses scripts and words as an aid, writing and editing services should use graphical elements to enhance their identity.

Creativity is a major standpoint for any service which requires writing, but to impart this skill through a is an art (which can be learned).

The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts has a show up now through October 3rd, 2017 in their Photography Gallery featuring work by black photographers made during the 1970's.
This show is entitled A Commitment to the Community: The Black Photographers Annual.
The photographs in this show were first published in the issue of the Black Photographers Annual for 1973.
Subsequent shows will feature work from each of the other three issues of the Black Photographers Annual, a publication that appeared four times between 1973 and 1980.
All this work deserves vastly more attention than it receives these days.
But the shows at the VMFA will help. Already, the VMFA has digitized all four of the Black Photographers Annuals, and has them available for us to see on their website, go here.
The Black Photographers Annual was published by the folks at Kamoinge, or the Kamoinge Workshop, an organization of African-American photographers formed in New York City in 1963 with the purpose of "providing crucial support and solidarity" for African-American photographers who sought "artistic equality within the industry of photography."
Kamoinge is still very much alive today, see their website here.
Kamoinge gained "the attention of museums, universities, libraries, and galleries, by encouraging and enabling the exhibition of works by photographers of color for the first time."
Publication of the Black Photographers Annual was part of fulfilling that mission.
The first issue, published with an introductory essay by Toni Morrison, contained the work of forty-nine artists, including Louis Draper (see image at the top of this blog post) and Bill Jackson (see image directly above), made in Greenwood, Mississippi.
Photographers in the 4 volumes of the Black Photographers Album include names that would become familiar to us, like Gordon Parks and Dawoud Bey, but also the work of photographers far less well know, but altogether richly deserving of our attention.
Work included in these four albums ranges from iconic images, such as Moneta Sleet's photograph of Coretta Scott King at her husband's funeral (see image above), to street photographs, to portraits, pretty much covering the full range of styles and subject matter characteristic of photography in that period.
I strongly encourage you to go to the VMFA's website and flip through the pages of the Black Photographers Annuals.
Not only do we step back into a world that to me seems like yesterday, but in fact is rapidly becoming a period in history, but we also get to appreciate the quality of this work, and also recover something of the excitement generated by photography in the early days of its recognition as a fine art practice.
The show at the VMFA has been featured in an entry on the New York Times LENS blog, go here.

With the horrific story unfolding in Cleveland of the three women who were held captive for almost 10 years, a new light is being shown on a growing issue in our world today, human trafficking. This subject never really got much press until the movie "Taken" came out in 2008. It depicted an ex-CIA agent's daughter who was kidnapped by human traffickers while on vacation in Paris. A very good friend on mine also wrote a book in 2010 about the orphan girls in Moldova who disappear, being sold into the global sex trade when they are too old to live in the orphanages anymore. It is estimated that human trafficking has grown into a $32,000,000,000 industry worldwide and it is no longer a problem just outside of the US.
Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Memphis, New York, and Toledo, OH have all become major centers in the global human trafficking industry. In fact, the FBI has listed Toledo (my hometown) as one of the top recruiting cities for human trafficking in North America. That really pisses me off. Ohio's Attorney General did an investigation in 2012 and honed in on who the "Johns" were who were fueling this industry. Many were surprised that although drug dealers and other various miscreants topped the list of Johns, there were also: businessmen, teachers, law enforcement officers, firefighters, social workers, lawyers, (the US Secret Service), and even pastors who were doing their part to make sure this industry stayed alive and well. Even worse is that many of the women being taken advantage of in the sex trade (even in the US) are underage girls who have been blackmailed and forced into the trade. These women aren't living the life of Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman." Many are locked in dingy basements and apartments that should be condemned and are repeatedly abused by 30+ men a night.
I am not trying to preach to you, but if we on the Right are to stand for what is right, we must do so on all fronts. People from every walk of life are partaking in this debauchery and it needs to end. If there were no Johns, there would be no sex trafficking issue. That being said, an open hunting season on pimps might not be such a bad idea as well. Just saying.

Proceedings of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy
This volume reflects some of the activities of the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy (BACAP) from the academic year 1999-2000. It contains seven colloquia which were hosted by different universities within the greater Boston area. The participants discuss important philosophical problems raised by the works of Plato and Aristotle, while also considering some relevant issues in modern philosophy of mind. With regard to Plato, one colloquium gives a detailed analysis of his argument for recollection in the Phaedo, while another considers the metaphysical basis for justice in the Republic, and another takes a general look at the role of techne in Platonic philosophy. Similarly, with reference to Aristotle, two colloquia provide a detailed analysis of the argument that Nous is not compounded with the body, as well as the relevance of his doctrine of Nous for modern conceptions of mind. In addition, there is a colloquium that provides a general account of the concept of law in Aristotle's Politics, as well as a colloquium that draws interesting parallels between Aristotle and Freud.

Breast Lift Surgery: Do You Need It?
If your breasts don't look as pleasing as they were before, you can benefit from a breast lift. Apart from restoring your breast shape and improving its contour, this cosmetic procedure can also make you look more youthful and feminine. This will then positively affect the way you perceive yourself, as well your happiness and confidence.
Cosmetic surgery centers in Salt Lake City note that a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon is the only way to find out if a breast lift procedure is right for you. There are, however, several factors that you may want to consider to have an idea if it will be beneficial for you.
Are your nipples pointing downward?
Sagging breasts usually have nipples that point downward. This is because as the skin stretches, the skin is also pulled down, with nipple and the areola starting to point toward the floor. A breast lift can help raise the breasts and reposition the tissues to allow your nipples to face forward.
Are you happy with the shape of your breasts?
If you want to change the shape and size of your breast, a breast lift along with a reduction or augmentation may be worth considering. This will also make your breast firmer, rounder, and more aesthetically pleasing.
Are your nipples hiding in the crease underneath your breasts?
It is common for droopy breasts to cause the nipple to sit below the crease of the breast. You can perform a simple test by placing a piece of paper below your breast. If your nipple touches it or sits below the top edge of the paper, a breast lift can be beneficial.
Are your breasts asymmetrical?
The procedure doesn't just lift sagging and droopy breasts; it can also improve the symmetry and shape of your breasts. It can correct minor asymmetry, while a major difference in size may also require a breast augmentation or reduction.
If you're concerned about the appearance of your breast, it's best to consult a qualified cosmetic surgeon. This will help you learn more about the pros and cons of the procedure, and help you prepare for the surgery if you decide to pursue.
5 Tips For Healthy-Looking Skin
The skin is delicate and is subject to a lot of exposure, wear-and-tear, and natural processes associated with aging. As such, it requires attention to remain smooth and clear as the years go by.
While Botox injections in Salt Lake City, as well as other cosmetic dermatological treatments, can help prevent the appearance of wrinkles as it relaxes the muscles that crease the skin. We highlight other ways to prevent premature skin aging, below.
Protect your skin from the sun
One basic but important step to care for your skin is to shield it from the harmful rays of the sun. Frequent exposure to the sun can cause sun spots, wrinkles, and reduced skin elasticity. It also increases cancer risk, as too much UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells.
This is the reason you need to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with the proper amount of SPF. For complete sun protection, put on sunscreen at least 30 minutes before sun exposure. Also, remember to reapply every couple of hours. Apply sunscreen more often if you are perspiring or swimming.
Stay under the shade
UV light is strongest at 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. so it is important to stay away from the sun at these times. If you cannot avoid going outdoors during these peak hours, make sure to wear clothing that protects you to block most of the radiation. Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and a hat to protect your skin.
Quit smoking
Smoking can cause signs of aging to appear early on the skin. The nicotine in cigarettes makes tiny blood vessels narrow and reduces blood flow, which in turn contributes to dry and discolored skin. Smoking also decreases the level of oxygen in the skin and depletes nutrients, which are essential to skin health.
Smoking likewise affects elastin and collagen, both of which are responsible for giving your skin elasticity and strength.
Keep it gentle
Daily cleansing can irritate your skin and can cause redness to appear. Be gentle when you are washing your face and avoid harsh exfoliants. Dermatologists also advise against taking long showers as it strips the skin of its natural oils. Limit your use of hot water when bathing or washing your face and stick to using warm water. Avoid harsh soaps and use mild cleanser instead to achieve a balance in the skin's oil during cleansing.
After taking a bath, avoid rubbing your face with a towel especially when you have dry or sensitive skin. Instead, gently dry your skin by patting with a towel to keep moisture on the skin.
Whether you have dry or oily skin, you still need to moisturize to lock in moisture and improve skin elasticity. For your daily regimen, use a type of moisturizer with SPF.
These tips are several ways to take care of your skin and to and to keep it from looking dull and dry. As they say, prevention is better than cure. This is especially true when it comes to skin care.
Five Tips To Fade Your Scar
Scarring results from the natural healing process, but sometimes it can affect how people feel about themselves. If a scar is prominent, it may make you feel less confident or self-conscious. Here are five tips on reducing the appearance of scars.
1. Let nature take its course
Time heals everything including scars. The body has a natural healing mechanism and with time scars fade and become less prominent. After an injury, the skin produces a special type of protein called collagen. This protein is essential in healing wounds and strengthening of skin where tissue had been injured. Unfortunately, accumulation of collagen causes the scar to be raised and more pronounced. However, it breaks down after a while, and the scar becomes flat and smoother. The National Institute of Health points out that it can take up to three years for the scar to be pale and the new skin to mature.
2. Maintain good health and eat a proper diet
The body's natural processes work better if you are in good health. By maintain good health, you can reduce the healing time of scars. Eat well to prevent diseases such as diabetes that reduce natural healing. Something else that reduces healing time is stress which can be avoided by exercise and adopting a more positive outlook towards life. Remember to adopt a habit of drinking plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated and avoid smoking because it minimizes blood flow in the body.
3. Microdermabrasion treatment
Microdermabrasion is a medical procedure where the uneven and outer layer of the skin is removed. It involves the use of a microdermabrasion machine that sprays tiny crystals on the skin to buff and polish it. It is a simple procedure that is carried out without discomfort or pain. This procedure is the most effective way to deal with acne and scars resulting from the condition. It is also great at improving age spots and hyperpigmentation. Although it enhances the appearance of stretch marks and damaged skin, you will get the best results if your scars are not deep. In New York City, microdermabrasion is readily available from qualified professionals.
4. Use sunblock
Prolonged exposure is good for other things but not for the skin. It can cause skin cancer and can worsen the appearance of scars. Exposure to the sun tans the scar darkening it and making it more noticeable. If you have a fresh scar, protect it from the sun through the use of sunblock.
5. Massage the wound
When your wound is healing, massage it gently including the surrounding areas. This will break down the scar tissue and make the scar less prominent.
The truth is that scars cannot permanently disappear but their appearance can improve, and they can become less noticeable.
Hair and Makeup Ideas for Summer Brides
Long warm days and pleasant evenings characterize summers, hence it is a perfect season for weddings. But the sun and the warmth can mess up your makeup and hair styles. You need to take extra care to look cool and fresh in spite of the humidity and temperature. It is better to consult experts on wedding hair and makeup in Austin.
Plan in advance
Plan strategically if you want to have a summer wedding. This is particularly important if the wedding is an outdoor event. Your usual beauty products will not work as they are suited for cooler temperatures and air conditioned environments. For a beach or a humid garden wedding, you need special beauty products that can stand the warmth and humidity.
Frizzy hair is the biggest problem in summer irrespective of the kind of hair you have. Use products that will keep it neat and smooth all day. These include smoothing gel, serums and pomades, which are available for all types of hair. Choose a sensible and simple style for your hair. Fresh flowers will wilt so pick a crystal or pearl jewellery for your hairdo. You can pick hair clips with floral designs and motifs, if you love flowers. As far as possible, keep your hairdo away from your neck so that it does not get messy due to the heat and perspiration.
Summer makeup
The makeup for brides in summer should be refreshing and light. Lighter makeup will not mess up your face or melt in the heat as it is barely there. If you need to use more makeup to hide flaws and highlight your facial features, then make sure you use the right products. If you have oily skin, use oil absorbing products all over your face and neck. It is necessary to use a primer before using the suitable foundation for all types of skin. Keep the eye makeup to the minimum too.
Inform your beauty expert well in advance, so that they can plan your makeup and hairstyle accordingly.
