A stroke happens when the blood supply is cut off to your brain. Every year more women than men suffer from strokes, and yet few know the risk factors that come with the various stages of a woman's life. "You have the childbearing years, perimenopausal, post-menopausal, and that just, it modifies those already traditional risk-factors," says Dr. Dolora Wisco from the Cleveland Clinic. The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association looked at risk factors influenced by pregnancy, birth control, migraines and other women's health issues, like preeclampsia, which is pregnancy-induced high blood pressure. Women who have preeclampsia have twice the risk of stroke. New guidelines recommend women with a history of high blood pressure before pregnancy be considered for low-dose aspirin and/or calcium supplement therapy to lower their preeclampsia risk.Also, women should be screened for high blood pressure before taking birth control pills because the combination raises stroke risks.Women who have migraines with aura should stop smoking to avoid higher stroke risk.The goal is to get doctors and women to pay attention to their risk factors and figure out how to lower the risk of stroke. "If you have high blood pressure; you know you have diabetes; you have cholesterol; you're smoking - those are major risk factors that you need to be paying attention to if you're a female," Wisco reminds. The new guidelines can be found in the American Heart Association Journal "Stroke."

I purchased this pack because I wanted a pack that I could use for work and as a day hike pack. All I can say is this pack is perfect and exactly what I wanted. It has plenty of external and internal pockets to carry a cell phone, iPod, computer, if needed, and more importantly my lunch! Lots of room for the necessities, but light weight and small enough that it isn't cumbersome. I have one other Osprey pack and so far both packs are versatile and durable and I would highly recommend this brand. I purchased the Axis pack in Juicy Orange and it's a fantastic, bright color, but I'm obsessed with orange so I may be biased. Double thumbs up!
Osprey has definitely come through with this lineup of ``day packs``. I bought the comet for myself & turned around & picked up this one for my girlfriend. She loves it & uses it on the regular, survived her nearly 6hrs a day of commuter transit 5 times a week for about a year & is still going strong. This bag is ever so slightly smaller than the comet, but it`s still more than enough for your laptop & texts. It`s also so comfortable on your back you tend to forget that your wearing the bag (i`ve carried groceries home in plastic because I forgot it was on my back lol)
After owning 3 Osprey bags I bought this one for my girlfriend. The quality is great just like all Osprey products that I have had the pleasure of owning. The color was as pictured (snappy green). I am somewhat jealous of the vented straps since mine do not have this feature. It has plenty of room for her laptop (15" Macbook), iPad and school books. It is a great backpack and works great for an everyday bag like she uses it.

Awesome vegans: 1; defensive omnivores: 0 »
If you're vegan, you've heard it. And if you're an omnivore, (admit it) you've said it. It's usually one of the first "lines of defense" against a vegan diet: "If we weren't meant to eat meat, why do I have these canine teeth?"
But do the meatheads have any ground to stand on? Lucky for us (and the animals), Milton R. Mills' comprehensive article "The Comparative Anatomy of Eating" breaks down, in no uncertain terms, the differences between mammalian carnivores, omnivores and herbivores once and for all. "Culture, custom and training are confounding variables when looking at human dietary practices. Thus, 'observation' is not the best technique to use when trying to identify the most 'natural' diet for humans," says Mills. "While most humans are 'behavioral' omnivores, the question still remains as to whether humans are anatomically suited for a diet that includes animal as well as plant foods."
He then goes on to compare in great detail the difference between the three classifications. Exhibiting anatomical and physiological features associated with each kind of diet, Mills covers oral cavities and dental structure, stomach and small intestine distinctions, and colon and digestive tracts.
Breaking the scientific mumbo-jumbo down in layman's terms, we learn some pretty powerful facts:
- Herbivores' saliva contains carbohydrate-digesting enzymes which begin breaking down food molecules while the food is still in the mouth; carnivores' saliva does not contain this enzyme as they do not chew their food.
- In herbivores, the jaw joint is positioned above the plane of the teeth, allowing complex jaw motions needed to chew plant foods; carnivores have a simple hinge joint lying on the same plane of the teeth, almost eliminating side-to-side motion.
- Carnivores have a single-chambered stomach and short small intestines; herbivores have significantly longer, more elaborate guts so as to properly digest fibrous diets.
- Carnivores' colons are simple and very short, as its only purposes are to absorb salt and water; in herbivores, it is a highly specialized organ involved in water and electrolyte absorption, vitamin production and absorption, and fermentation of fibrous plant materials.
Yeah yeah, all of this is well and good, I guess…but what's the big conclusion? Are humans built to be vegans, or soulless, arrogant flesh-eaters?
SORRY, CARNIES! Here's the key, my fellow veggies—memorize this for future ammunition needs:
In conclusion, we see that human beings have the gastrointestinal tract structure of a "committed" herbivore. Humankind does not show the mixed structural features one expects and finds in anatomical omnivores such as bears and raccoons. Thus, from comparing the gastrointestinal tract of humans to that of carnivores, herbivores and omnivores we must conclude that humankind's GI tract is designed for a purely plant-food diet
Honestly, though—is anyone really surprised? Didn't think so! Find Dr. Milton. R. Mills' compare/contrast chart at the bottom of the page here for further info.

Opinionator vs. opinionated: swing and a miss, Jeff McMahan »
The New York Times Opinionator blog asks: Why should we have carnivorous animals? Your Vegansaurus considered the question, and, of course, had something to say about it.
Certainly we shouldn't have carnivorous people; our big evolved brains learned ethics, and we're past thinking of animals of commodity or property. We want to do as little harm to animals as possible, including preserving their lives and their land. But how how can we say that and then say that we want to genetically modify carnivores to evolve into herbivores? A strong argument against eating animals is that it takes away the animals' choice to live or die—genetic modification of carnivores would deny them a choice as well.
I understand the concept of wanting to protect herbivorous animals, to create a peaceful world, to eliminate violence. But it makes me uncomfortable to meddle with animals' genetic makeup. You can give your dog exclusively vegan food, but your dog will still want to eat basically everything, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that. It's much more disgusting to feed chickens grain and cow brains. It's much more offensive to pump cows full of rBST. Even simpler, it's fucking disgusting to have bred eating-animals to obscenely large sizes, sometimes, like turkeys, so big that they can't even walk. That's genetic meddling, and it's gross.
Favoring one species over another is another one of our pro-vegan arguments—specifically, up with humans, down with every other animal. It's still speciesism to actively work to create herbivores out of carnivores. We're not "better" than other animals; we're better able to reason, and act against our instincts, so we choose to live cruelty-free. We have to maintain perspective, though. We're oughtn't go all Margaret Sanger on the animals. No, nature isn't fair or kind, but hasn't humanity already done enough to mess with the Earth?
We appreciate Jeff McMahan's messages of anti-violence and veganism. That's about it, though.

Lonely Planet's Best in Europe 2014
Are you packing your bags for Europe this summer, or still just fantasizing about it? Either way, you'll be spoiled for choice when you cast your eyes over our irresistible expert picks...
Paris is being reborn. Following a push to reduce traffic, 1.5km of former expressway on the Seine's Right Bank now incorporates walkways and cycleways. The pièce de résistance is the Left Bank's new car-free zone; floating gardens on artificial islands and pedestrian promenades breathe new life into Paris. And that's not all: nine new bells replicate Notre Dame's original medieval chimes and the Musée Picasso will again display works inside a 17th-century Marais mansion. The world's most beautiful city is now even more beautiful.
Tiny Trinidad is a sherbet-tinged, time-trapped Unesco World Heritage Site, bulging with architectural and decorative wealth. Trinidad is the extraordinarily beautiful result of a 19th-century sugar boom. 2014 marks the 500th anniversary of the city's foundation by Spanish conquistadors with a series of fiestas and cultural events. Experience Trinidad's curious thrill in Afro-Cuban dance performances, African brotherhood societies and their rituals, and the hypnotic sound of the percussive clave beat – the rhythmic foundation of salsa – erupting in dance halls every night.
Cape Town is destined to get even prettier as it takes on the title of World Design Capital this year. Expect sculpture-lined green spaces, sustainable projects, and further regeneration of former industrial districts. The main goal of the design team, though, is to bridge the gap between Cape Town's disparate population, so venture on a tour out of town to see how innovation is turning things around in the disadvantaged townships, then explore suburban sights on the swanky new bus system.
Rīga was – for centuries – a strategic linchpin in the annexation of important lands, until it was smothered into obscurity when the Iron Curtain fell. Today, the city is reclaiming its rightful title as the cosmopolitan cornerstone of the Baltic. Over the past few years chic cafes have spread like wildfire throughout the city centre and hundreds of crumbling facades are being restored to their brilliant, art nouveau lustre – all in time for Rīga to earn the honour of being named European Capital of Culture.
What's hot in Zürich in 2014? In August the city hosts the European Athletics Championships. But can a city best known for men in suits deliver a thrilling city break? With the liberalisation of the rules governing opening hours, locals are throwing themselves into nightlife with the same enthusiasm they show for moving decimal points during the day. In the trendy Züri-West district industrial decay has given way to nocturnal hedonism, and the city by the lake has attracted revellers from across Switzerland.
If China is the world's industrial motor, Shanghai is China's high-performance V8. The metro system will open the 59km-long, high-speed line 16 by 2014; it's now the third-longest network in the world. Upon completion, the twisting 121-storey Shanghai Tower will be the tallest building in China. To cap it all, Shanghai recently expanded its visa-free transit quota to 72 hours for citizens of 45 nations, so if you're heading on somewhere else and don't have a Chinese visa, you can still get a three-day look in.
Vancouver delivers on nature's eye-candy – visit, and you'll never be too far from spectacular mountain vistas, rambling evergreen parks and protected sandy beaches. You'll appreciate the big-city-look/small-town-vibe the moment you arrive at the airport. People live here because they love to run, bike, swim, ski and play. If you simply can't take any more of how good it gets, head for the hills: Cypress, Seymour and Grouse Mountains and the world-famous Whistler (ski) and Blackcomb (snowboard) areas are within easy reach.
The Windy City's cloud-scraping architecture and world-class museums take centre stage, but the real fun begins after you check off the masterpieces. Head to Wrigley Field, America's favourite baseball park; the ivy-walled venue celebrates its 100th birthday in 2014 with season-long festivities. Or yuck it up at The Second City, which blows out 55 candles on its cake this year. The club launched the improv comedy genre, along with the careers of Bill Murray, Stephen Colbert, Tina Fey and many more.
Adelaide has transformed itself into the perfect host city. It has accumulated some of Australia's most popular sporting and arts events, including the Adelaide Festival, the Adelaide Fringe Festival and WOMADelaide. The year 2014 beckons big changes for the city's heart, with the completion of the multimillion-dollar refurbishment of the Adelaide Oval. A gateway to some of Australia's most accessible wine country, Adelaide is effortlessly chic – and like a perfectly cellared red, it's ready to be uncorked and sampled.
Auckland is often overlooked by travellers eager to head for the stellar alpine and lake landscapes further south, but food, arts and exploring the coastal hinterland are all excellent reasons to extend your stay in New Zealand's biggest and most cosmopolitan city. New restaurant areas continue to emerge, often repurposing heritage buildings and precincts, while the funky City Works Depot adds a hip edge to Auckland's culinary scene with craft beer and food-truck dining. The extensive refurbishment of the Auckland Art Gallery now includes a stunning glass-and-timber atrium.
As if endless strands of sun-toasted coast, mountains splashed with Crayola-green rainforest and some of the planet's most beautiful colonial villages didn't already add up to an unfair share of heaven, Brazil goes and snags two of the most coveted sporting events in the world, beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed two years later by the 2016 Summer Olympics. Tack on a recession-dodging economy, and boom! Brazil is the belle of the ball.
Tune into your average wildlife television program and you can't fail to be dazzled by Antarctica's majestic icebergs, calving glaciers and unexplored mountain ranges. This year marks the centenary of the start of Ernest Shackleton's infamous attempted Antarctic crossing. Visiting this pristine continent (which doesn't have an indigenous population and is not actually a country) in 2014 is a chance to take life on and follow in the path of other intrepid explorers – but with cushier amenities.
To coincide with Glasgow hosting the XX Commonwealth Games in the summer of 2014, the city has had a multi-million-pound facelift: new sports venues, improved transport links and a regeneration of Glasgow Harbour. It is also the Year of Homecoming, a government initiative to welcome the Scottish diaspora back to the mother country by celebrating Scotland's heritage, food and drink. Despite all this, politics will take centre stage: to be or not to be independent, that is the question. Hold onto your hats, Scotland.
Thanks to the late Swedish author Stieg Larsson, most people have a sense of what Sweden's like, even in the far north – cold, beautiful and a bit scary. Sweden is emerging with a new pop-culture persona. Perhaps not coincidentally, northern Sweden's largest city, Umeå, is European Capital of Culture for 2014. Then there's the food. Stockholm has long been a stylish, top-notch destination for serious gourmands but lately the reputation and influence of Swedish cooking have spread beyond the country's borders.
Picture this: mere hours after touching down in Malawi's second-largest city, Blantyre, you check into superluxe digs (or pitch your tent) at the Majete Wildlife Reserve, which only 10 years ago lay decimated by poaching, but last year gained Big Five status thanks to a wildlife relocation project. You get up close to the aforementioned elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo without the pesky 4WD scrum so common in Africa's best-known parks. Then perhaps it's off to Lake Malawi for a spot of high-visibility snorkelling.
Sun-baking on a Caribbean beach after partying all night in Cancún; shopping for brightly coloured handicrafts or gorging on seven types of mole (chilli sauce) in Oaxaca – it's easy to feel optimistic when you're kicking back in Mexico. And it's not just the holidaymakers – many Mexicans are happier about living in Mexico now than most can ever remember. Exciting developments on the travel scene have continued, from major new Maya museums in Cancún and Mérida to Latin America's longest ziplines on the rim of the Copper Canyon.
These 115 divine islands strewn across the peacock-blue Indian Ocean have all the key ingredients for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, but their reputation as a millionaire's playground may have kept you away. Good news: on top of exclusive island hideaways and elegant eco-villas, you can benefit from the wallet-friendlier B&Bs, picturesque Creole guesthouses and self-catering apartments that have sprung up over the past decade. And if expensive air tickets deterred you from visiting, rejoice! Increased competition has dramatically changed the situation.
Belgium has picturesque cities – Bruges, Antwerp, Ghent – and in Brussels a walkable capital with great museums. The food and drink is a gustatory blast (think the world's best beer, chocolate and chips), the seaside surprisingly chic, while cultural treasures range from medieval masters to Tintin. From 2014, a huge influx of visitors is expected due to the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of WWI. Belgo-newbies will find medieval towns where culture and gastronomy meet, with Gothic buildings, canals and cool shops.
The year 2014 marks the completion of the government's makeover of the capital, Skopje. The Macedonian capital is becoming more visitor-friendly, with new hostels, upscale wine bars and bistros, and one of southeastern Europe's best club scenes. Beyond the more established tourist sites, quiet Berovo is an up-and-coming contender on the spa-hotel scene. Sturdy old Kratovo – with Ottoman-era stone bridges and cobblestone lanes – is revitalising previously derelict Turkish mansions. And in arid Tikveš, new quality wineries are catering to thirsty visitors.
Malaysia is rolling out an array of new attractions. The headline-grabbers are the largest bird park in Southeast Asia in Melaka, and Legoland Malaysia and Hello Kitty Land in Nusajaya, which are packing in both locals and Singaporeans flocking across the causeway. The new second terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA2), catering mainly to budget airlines, is another factor in attracting visitors. Amazing experiences await in Malaysian Borneo, from exploring off-the-beaten- track Kudat to indulging at the luxurious Gaya Island Resort on Pulau Gaya.
Picking up national accolades in 2012 for being India's cleanest state with the most innovative tourism project, Sikkim has set new benchmarks for responsible travel in the country. Food-wise, there's news too. Organic farming is the new mantra, and the government proposes to convert Sikkim into a fully organic state very soon. And with a new airport scheduled to open near Gangtok in 2014, you can now shave off several hours of transit time and fly in directly from major Indian metros.
The Kimberley is one of the most sparsely populated regions on the planet and one of the most starkly beautiful, carved by giant gorges, dimpled with deep, cool pools, and home to a coastline that could make Australian east-coasters weep. It's also a region where Aboriginal culture rubs shoulders with exotic Asian influences, the rich come to spend their millions on world-class pearls, and celebrities fly in for a luxurious sojourn in the vast open spaces. Explore the area now, before big business encroaches further.
It's only a matter of time before this gentleman of the north gets the traveller attention it deserves. Last year a poll revealed the North Yorkshire spa town of Harrogate was the happiest place in Britain. Bradford has become the world's first Unesco City of Film and Yorkshire now has more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other county outside London. In 2014, this welcoming region will be able to hold its head even higher when the Tour de France begins its grand départ from Leeds.
Hokuriku, on Honshū's west coast, bordered by the Sea of Japan and the magnificent Japan Alps, is saturated with culture, history and striking natural beauty. The city of Kanazawa is second only to Kyoto for its population of authentic working geisha. Photogenic districts radiate from the site of the former Kanazawa Castle and Kenroku-en, one of Japan's finest gardens. Rent a car and explore the dramatic scenery of the Noto Peninsula, or dissolve yourself in the sumptuous waters of the Kaga Onsen area.
The two extremes of the Texas image – yahooing cowboy country and oil-rich business districts – aren't the only things cooking up on the multifaceted menu of Lone Star State diversions. For starters, the long-absent scent of greenery is galvanising Texas' big cities, with Houston's Buffalo Bayou Park getting a 9.3-hectare enhancement, and Fort Worth's historic heart is being shaken up with a major new plaza (bye, bustling traffic). But oh, the food… Celebrity chefs have breathed new life into Texan tucker and fast food has gone gourmet.
Not only will the raw power of the Victoria Falls blow you away visually, but the sound of its steady violent rumble and the spray that you'll breathe in and taste is an all-round sensory encounter with mother nature. Victoria Falls is shared by the tourist towns of Vic Falls (Zimbabwe side) and Livingstone (Zambia side). Leading into 2014, both were on top of their game after multibillion-dollar makeovers for their role as co-hosts of the 2013 General Assembly of the UN World Tourism Organization.
Breathtakingly beautiful, amazingly diverse and highly cultured Mallorca has been busy reinventing itself. The energetic capital, Palma de Mallorca, is filled with art galleries and fabulous restaurants. The south and east coasts are the home of crystal white-sand beaches and shimmering blue waters that'll leave you gasping. But it's the northwest that most defies the clichés of Mallorca. Here the Serra de Tramuntana range, matted with olive groves, pine forests and ochre villages, tumbles almost sheer into a sapphire-coloured Mediterranean.
Those who think they've seen it all should prepare for some enlivening surprises. In 2014, the Department of Conservation will open two major cycling and hiking trails in co-operation with local partners, as part of the newly established New Zealand Cycle Trail network. The Cape Foulwind seal colony can be visited on a revitalised walkway, as can the mirror lake of Matheson and Hokitika Gorge, a hidden jewel. New paths through ancient forest link the villages of Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers to their glacier trailheads.
Until recent decades, the northwestern mountains were known only to the minority groups that called them home. Now, turning the birthplace of Mao Zedong into a destination is a Party priority and the province is flush with cash. A gleaming new network of high-speed trains, superhighways and regular direct flights have put Hunan's cities in easy reach of every major city, domestic and abroad. This comfortable mix of old and new isn't what you'd expect in China, which is exactly why you should go.
It takes an adventurous sort just to get to Tonga, but to venture to its central island group of Ha'apai, well… What we're talking about here is lush, reef-fringed islands, swaying palm trees, tropical sunshine, breaching humpback whales, technicolour tropical fish, sea kayaking, and even a smoking volcano – all amid a sleepy, seductive Tongan outlook on life. When you get there, pat yourself on the back, be like the locals and put a big grin on your face…and don't worry, be Ha'apai!

Cody Ross homered and Wade Miley allowed five hits in seven innings to help the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Tampa Bay Rays 6-1 on Tuesday night.
Miley (9-8) allowed one run, struck out five and walked two for his fifth win in his past six starts.
Eric Chavez had a pair of RBI doubles for the Diamondbacks, who pulled within five games of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.
Jeremy Hellickson (10-5) failed to pitch past the fifth inning for the second straight outing for the Rays, both against the Diamondbacks.
Hellickson gave up five runs and five hits and three walks, hit a batter and struck out one as the Rays slipped 1 1-2 games behind Boston in the AL East.

The Vermont Foodbank is just two weeks away from its biggest fundraiser of the year. Since 2002, The Harpoon Point to Point ride has raised almost $600,000 for Vermonters in need. However this year, the ride is falling short of its goal.
Point to Point had a record 768 riders last year. This year they have recruited about 800 riders, but that is about 100 short of their goal.
So why is this well established event struggling to recruit as many riders as it wants? John Sayles from the Vermont Foodbank and fundraising expert Andy Robinson talk about raising money for nonprofits.

Third, the hormonal regulation function tests
endocrine system (endocrine system) is an important regulator of body systems, it is complementary with the nervous system, regulating the body's growth and development of common metabolic and maintain a stable internal environment, and affect the control of reproductive behavior and so on.
endocrine system (endocrine system) is an important regulator of body systems, it is complementary with the nervous system, regulating the body's growth and development of common metabolic and maintain a stable internal environment, and affect the control of reproductive behavior and so on.
endocrine system consists of endocrine glands and other organs located in endocrine cells. Some endocrine glands are the body's glands no output catheter. Endocrine cell secretions called hormones (hormone). Most endocrine cells secrete hormones through the blood circulation of the role of specific cells in the distance, a small part of the endocrine cells of the secretions can directly act on neighboring cells, calls this paracrine (paracrine). The structure is characterized by endocrine glands: glandular cells arranged in cords, surrounded by groups like or bubble-like, non-exclusive conduit to send secretions, rich in capillaries.
endocrine cells secrete hormones, according to the nature of Pok nitrogen into hormones (including amino acid derivatives, amines, peptides and protein hormones) and two types of steroid hormones. Ammonia secretion of hormones is characterized by cell ultrastructure, cytoplasm contains synthetic hormones related with rough endoplasmic reticulum complexes and high-thou base, as well as the secretion of membrane-coated particles. Secretion of steroid hormones cell ultrastructure characterized by cytoplasm containing synthetic steroid hormone with the rich smooth endoplasmic reticulum, but not the formation of secretory granules; more mitochondria, the ridge mostly tubular; cytoplasm also There are more lipid droplets, where cholesterol and other raw materials for the synthesis of hormones.
each hormone acts on a certain organ or organs of certain types of cells, known as hormone target organ (target organ) or target cells (target cell). With the corresponding target cells with a combination of hormone receptors, hormone receptors and the corresponding combined to produce effects. Nitrogen-containing hormone receptor in the plasma membrane of target cells, and steroid hormone receptors is generally located in the cytoplasm of target cells.
many organs, though not endocrine glands. But with the endocrine function of tissues or cells, such as the brain (in Philippians peptides, gastrin-releasing factor, etc.), liver (original Su-tight vessels, bone 25 hydroxylation of steroids, etc.), kidney (renin, prostaglandins, 1,25 hydroxy steroids into bone, etc.). The same hormone can be synthesized in different tissues or organs, such as longevity endostatin (hypothalamus, pancreatic, gastrointestinal, etc.), polypeptide growth factors (nervous system, endothelial cells, platelets, etc.). Nervous system and endocrine systems in close physical divider, such as neuroendocrine hypothalamus is the central organization, can synthetic antidiuretic hormone, oxytocin, etc., along the axon stored in the posterior pituitary. Both opiate peptides acting on the nervous system (which is the nature of neurotransmitters), and act on the pituitary (which is the nature of hormones). Both in the body to maintain environmental stability and interaction and coordination, such as mechanisms to keep blood sugar stable, that endocrine hormones such as insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, somatostatin, the role of adrenal cortex hormones , but also the nervous system such as the sympathetic and parasympathetic involvement. Therefore, only in the nervous system and endocrine system are normal, in order to make the body environment to maintain optimum condition.
the main body of the glands are: thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, pituitary, pineal gland, pancreatic, thymus, and gonad.
endocrine system diseases
endocrine system is composed of embryonic mesoderm and endoderm develop into the cells or cell populations (ie, endocrine glands). They secrete trace of Pok substances – hormones – through the bloodstream to target cells, with the corresponding receptors, affect the metabolic processes and play a wide range of its systemic effect. Endocrine system and the ectodermal differentiation of the nervous system compatible, maintaining body balance of the environment, in order to maintain balance and stability, between the endocrine system a complete set of mutual restraint, mutual influence and the more complex positive and negative feedback system. So that there are different conditions outside change, together with the nervous system within the environment to remain stable, which is to maintain the continuity of life and maintain the necessary conditions of race. Any kind of endocrine cell function disorders caused by excessive secretion of a hormone or lack of, can cause the corresponding pathophysiological changes.
can know from the endocrine function, endocrine disorders on the health risks are great, the body can not make normal growth, development, reproduction, not for normal metabolic activity. There are a variety of human endocrine glands, different endocrine diseases occur when the health hazards are also different.
such as islet lesions occurred, excessive secretion of insulin will cause low blood sugar, too little insulin can cause diabetes. Thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone will be hyperthyroidism, patients eat, weight loss, heat intolerance, palpitation. Produces too little thyroid hormone appeared hypothyroidism, and hyperthyroidism symptoms just the opposite. Pituitary gland produces too little hormone, dwarfism appeared to adult height when less than 130 cm. Such as hypopituitarism, can affect the thyroid, gonads, adrenal gland, there is not development, growth retarded, poor physical, mental difference.
Depending on the pathogenesis, including abnormal endocrine glands, hormone secretion abnormalities, abnormal conversion from the former hormone, target cell's response to the hormone abnormalities, endocrine system diseases can be classified as follows;
a hormone deficiency disease
(a) of the endocrine gland dysfunction can be due to trauma, tumor destruction, infection, bleeding, autoimmune damage caused by the primary endocrine dysfunction, the hypothalamus or pituitary hormone deficiency, expressed as target organs (such as thyroid, adrenal cortex, gonads) and dysfunction, that is secondary to endocrine dysfunction, congenital dysfunction of endocrine glands are often obstacles to hormone synthesis, even for the synthesis of hormones structural abnormalities, the lack of biological activity, a rare example of diabetes, blood insulin levels higher than normal, but its amino acid disorder, there is no biological activity. Congenital disorders can produce some hormone synthesis, but also can be completely in nature.
(b) secondary to glandular hormone deficiency caused by external factors such as hormonal changes before the hormone obstacles to speed up the degradation of hormones, appear antagonistic substances, such as the corresponding antibodies.
(c) of the hormone response to low, in part of the endocrine gland dysfunction, blood hormone levels were normal or even high. This may be due to an anti-receptor antibodies, closed receptor, reducing the chance of hormones and receptors. Receptors may also be due to structural abnormalities or decrease in the number. For example, pseudo-hypoparathyroidism, plasma parathyroid hormone was significantly higher, but significantly lower clinical hyperparathyroidism in kidney disease may not of vasopressin sensitive hypertension, liver disease of pancreatic glucagon not sensitive.
endocrine system (endocrine system) is an important regulator of body systems, it is complementary with the nervous system, regulating the body's growth and development of common metabolic and maintain a stable internal environment, and affect the control of reproductive behavior and so on.
Second, the hormone excess syndrome
(a) of the endocrine gland function may be too high due to various reasons gland hyperplasia or functional adenomas. This functional adenomas (including functional adenomas) are well differentiated. Gland hyperplasia on a multi-gland function due to hyperthyroidism caused by the so-called secondary hormone excess disorder.
(B) atopic tumors produce hormones as tumor cells can function independently of the secretion of hormones or hormone-like activity of compounds, causing a corresponding clinical manifestations. By a single gene (ACTH, growth hormone, prolactin, parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, gastrin, erythropoietin, etc.) and two genes (such as human chorionic gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone, egg cells and promote cell factors, etc.) abnormality. Although a variety of ectodermal anomalies such tumor cells can produce biologically active substances, but mainly to have deterrence take the amine precursor and decarboxylation (APUD) cells. More common in lung oat cell carcinoma, carcinoid, thymoma and so on.
(c) iatrogenic use of hormones or their derivatives in the physiological dose treatment of diseases in excess can lead to iatrogenic hormone excess syndrome.
(d) the high sensitivity of rare target tissue, such as hyperthyroidism into some of the organization's increased sensitivity to catecholamine receptors, and combined atrial fibrillation often have abnormalities of the heart were.
(e) a number of autoimmune diseases, autoimmune antibodies and receptors, similar to the role of hormones, the most common, such as stimulating antibodies in Graves' disease can cause hyperthyroidism, rare insulin receptor antibodies, can appear similar to the clinical manifestations of too much insulin.
(f) secondary to systemic disease, high secretion of hormones, endocrine glands, the Department received the normal amount of physiological or pathological stimulation. For example, cirrhosis with ascites, nephrotic syndrome and congestive heart failure when aldosteronism, parathyroid hormone increase during uremia and so on.
Third, the endocrine glands syndrome
Schmidt's syndrome, Department of 2 or more glands while the incidence of dysfunction of the disease may be related to immune disorders, may include insulin, thyroid, adrenal, parathyroid, and gonads. Because hyperplasia, adenoma, adenocarcinoma was induced hyperthyroidism is called multiple endocrine neoplasia. Generally divided into three types. MEN Ⅰ type (Wermer syndrome) including parathyroid, pancreatic, pituitary, adrenal cortex and hyperthyroidism. MEN Ⅱ type (Sipple syndrome), including pheochromocytoma (may be bilateral and extra-adrenal distribution), medullary thyroid carcinoma and parathyroid hyperplasia. MEN Ⅲ types, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and nerve tumors. This is a family of 3 multi-trunk, the cause of the mechanism is unknown.
four, not associated with hormonal disorders of the endocrine glands diseases
including non-functioning tumors, cancer, cysts, inflammation.

(b) of the male sex premature
nine, endocrine kidney disease
(a) Batter syndrome
(b) of the renin tumors
ten, non-endocrine tumors caused by different sources (bit) endocrine syndrome
XI, the principle of multiple endocrine diagnosis
complete diagnosis of endocrine disease should include the following three aspects: ① functional diagnosis; ② pathological diagnosis (localization and qualitative); ③ diagnosis. Detailed history and comprehensive physical examination often provide important clues to alert doctors to consider the diagnosis or endocrine disease should be excluded. Early diagnosis as possible, strive for the best prognosis, Ji should note the following points:
a hormone concentration determination can be used radioimmunoassay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay determination of body fluids such as hormone levels, the reliability of decisions to the purity and characteristics of antibodies, the quality of collected samples, such as the determination plasma insulin concentration also includes insulin, and serum C-peptide, the undissociated also includes C-peptide, have affected the reliability of measurement results. Only the use of monoclonal antibody detection methods in order to improve the ability to distinguish. There is also a distinction to be free in body fluids (mostly with biological activity) and the combination of hormones (mostly non-biologically active) hormones, in order to determine the correct evaluation of the results.
endocrine system (endocrine system) is an important regulator of body systems, it is complementary with the nervous system, regulating the body's growth and development of common metabolic and maintain a stable internal environment, and affect the control of reproductive behavior and so on.
Second, the dynamic observation of hormones Determination of the normal rhythm of hormones such as ACTH, cortisol diurnal fluctuations, luteinizing hormone and promote egg cell rhythm and so on. The disappearance of the normal rhythm of mostly early manifestation of abnormal gland function.
Third, the hormonal regulation function tests , including stimulation test (check the response of trophic hormones) and inhibition test (check the feedback suppression), the identification of physiological changes and pathological changes, a clear pathological changes nature have a greater significance.
four receptor determination on a variety of target cell receptors in the determination of the quantity and quality, such as red blood cell insulin receptor determination, determination of blood and other nuclear T3 receptors. Water is mainly used for hormone disorder is inconsistent with the clinical manifestations of patients, changes in rhythm receptors have important clinical significance.
five target cell function tests only target cells in the clinical response can only reflect the endocrine dysfunction, so the function of target cells can be measured objectively evaluate the effects of hormones. For example, hyperthyroidism, platelet potassium – sodium ATP activity was significantly increased, isovolumic systolic myocardial shortening, such as elevated basal metabolic rate.
six positioning check Video Pok mainly examined to determine the endocrine tumors, and early detection of cancer, distant metastasis.
seven pathological examination to determine the nature of disease, such as the thyroid needle biopsy in determining Hashimoto's disease, thyroid cancer, there is a certain value.
treatment principles
First, hormone deficiencies should supplement the corresponding physiological dose steroid hormones in the supplementary difficulty or in the supplementary hormones take other measures to maintain a stable internal environment, such as parathyroid dysfunction can be used to add calcium and vitamin C treatment. Adrenal insufficiency can be used as an adjuvant therapy of high-sodium diet.
Second, the hormone but not too much should be as radical in each case can be done. Methods: ① tumor resection led to hyperactivity or hyperplasia. ② drugs inhibit the synthesis and release of hormones, drugs such as thiourea treatment of hyperthyroidism, Bromocriptine treatment of prolactinomas and galactorrhea stopped and acromegaly, Cushing's game G of treatment disease. ③ The feedback inhibition of the target gland hormone synthesis and secretion of hormones to promote, such as thyroid hormone suppression of thyroid stimulating hormone, cortisol inhibition of adrenocorticotropic hormone, estrogen or androgen inhibition of gonadotropin and so on. ④ Pok treatment of patients with inoperable, such as the double-chlorophenyl nitrous oxide (O, P-DDO) treatment of adrenal cortical carcinoma, adriamycin treatment of urine with chain β-cell carcinoma. ⑤ or correct use of certain hormones that regulate metabolism, such as testosterone and other anabolic hormones in the treatment of Cushing's leap of negative oxygen balance. ⑥ Radiation therapy inhibit its secretion.
Third, the cause of treatment such as exophthalmos can be treated with immune control agent, due to adrenal tuberculosis, chronic adrenal insufficiency should be given anti-TB treatment. Endocrine Pok progress
in the thyroid, the initial understanding of the diffuse goiter with hyperthyroidism (Greaves disease), chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto disease), etc. are a disease – autoimmune thyroid disease. Both can co-exist, you can change each other. Thyroid dysfunction and disease in a transient disease are different from normal thyroid function during the performance. In the diagnosis of rat thyroid cell line to determine antibody titers, and a variety of changes in the course of warming, the diagnosis, mitigation of, withdrawal indications and the estimated chance of a relapse are very helpful.
in diabetes, the main mechanism in the occurrence of complications and prevention methods for a lot more in-depth study that glycation, polyol-pass metabolism in the relative increase in thromboxane, prostaglandins and other abnormal changes to occur the main complications. These factors also initially identified due to the chronic long-term diabetes complications is to determine the prognosis of older key. Now put forward a number of treatment options, such as continuous subcutaneous insulin type of insulin pump therapy, continuous use of artificial islets, large doses of dipyridamole, a captopril, etc., are all promising signs, but should be further observe the effect.
in the endocrine glands, tissue or cell transplantation over the past decade a lot of useful scientific curb exploration, such as micro-capsule method, closed law islet transplantation antigens or β-cell transplantation, were obtained in experimental animals a success. It was also transplanted into the immune response of the weak parts such as the ventricles, arachnoid cavity, also confirmed that there is hope, it was also exploring other glands transplanted, but still far from practical.
endocrine system diseases has made great progress, but there are still many issues to be resolved, first and foremost the issue of prevention, a high incidence of diabetes, but with the increasing improvement of life, but no effective before control measures.

Do right and wrong exist?
I'm curious about objective right and wrong. If you believe in God, this is a no-brainer. Some things are wrong, some things are right, simply because God says so and He knows. But if you don't believe in God, can you still believe in objective morality? I personally don't think you can. I mean, what do you base it off of? How do you find out what's objectively right or wrong? (By objective I mean "existing independent of thought or an observer as part of reality." from dictionary.com)
Sure, there's subjective morality. Any idea of right or wrong come up with by a human is by definition subjective. That's all well and good. Problem is that it only applies to people who believe in it and it gives them no authority to proclaim anything as "what we should be doing." Very often everybody disagrees with each other and we don't get anywhere. (Just look at Congress for an example of this.)
Maybe you disagree with me and you think there is objective morality but no God. That's fine. I would like to ask you to answer a question for me though. Let's pick an easy one. Why is rape objectively wrong? Don't misunderstand me, I can't think of a single instance where rape wouldn't be wrong. I believe very strongly that sexual abuse is one of the greatest evils in the world. Why is it evil? If you can answer me without using a God-based or subjective argument, I'll concede the point.
That point is this: Without God, there is no such thing as right and wrong, only the things we call right and wrong. And since nobody can agree on what to call what, we're all in a lot of trouble.

Thiyagu JayMar 5 2013: I believe, religions were born out of the believes, rights and wrong as established by like minded people who presented them in the name of God, to gain immediate acceptance and avoid irrational and unanswerable questions. The religions have evolved over a period and hence there is nothing wrong if new definitions are created for situations that did not exist earlier or were not adequately handled.
For example, it is said that Buddism is born of Hinduism and a lot of similarities can be seen. And among Hindus there are several sub-sects based on differences in believes (or rights and wrongs) that indicate that oldest religion in the world has allowed and tolerated evolution of its constituent rules on rights and wrongs.
Mar 5 2013: I kind of agree about your thesis on religions evolving.
They may be useful social technologies for teaching a particular moral view.
Their weakness is they often rely on supposed divine command via scriptures and revelation, coming up with different answers, and usually not providing a way to assess what is moral beyond the bible or sutras or pope says so.

Opa-locka officials have been scrambling to reinstate trash service for all city residents and businesses in the wake of a dispute over the city's choice of a trash contractor.
Progressive Waste Solutions of Florida and Waste Management had agreed to continue collecting trash after their contracts expired Sept. 30, while Progressive attempted to persuade a judge to make the city reconsider plans to replace both companies with Ecological Paper Recycling. Progressive said the city mishandled the procedures for choosing a new trash contractor.
But on Nov. 1, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Sarah Zabel denied Progressive's request. Progressive "made no allegations or offered any proof" of illegal or fraudulent behavior on the city's part, Zabel wrote. She denied the firm's request for an injunction to stop the city from going ahead with the deal.
"Progressive Waste is reviewing its options in light of the Court's recent decision," said Robert Buschel, the company's attorney, in an email.
After the judge ruled, both Progressive and Waste Management collected their trash bins and carts and stopped picking up garbage in the city, Assistant City Manager David Chiverton said.
"After this injunction came down it seemed like Waste Management reneged on the plan," said Chiverton. "Both Progressive and Waste Management decided to pull their bins out, leaving the city in a challenging situation."
But Progressive and Waste Management had agreed to continue service only until the end of October, according to the companies. Dawn McCormick, a spokeswoman for Waste Management, said the removal of the bins was standard procedure and that there was no agreement to extend coverage beyond October.
The city scrambled to replace the lost garbage bins and containers for residents and worked with Ecological to begin handling both commercial and residential collection.
By Wednesday, "95 percent" of city residents had received trash receptacles, Chiverton said, but he added that it had been an "impractical process."
Progressive filed suit Oct. 4, after the City Commission awarded a bid to Ecological Paper Recycling to provide trash collection and disposal services.
Progressive wanted the city to award the job to Progressive or restart the bidding without Ecological. Progressive also requested lost profits, if the judge granted the injunction but the company did not end up getting the job.
Carlo Piccinonna, general manager of Opa-locka-based trash company Great Waste, also objected to the way the city hired Ecological but did not join the lawsuit. He said the city should have planned ahead for transitioning to Ecological and described the current situation as "complete and utter chaos." He said residents and businesses in the city are still without service and containers.
"Getting the cans out there is hard, but it's the easiest part," Piccinonna said. "Some sort of synergy should have been created between Ecological and Waste Management. It takes coordination."
Progressive stated in its complaint last month that the city acted in an "arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable manner" when it awarded a trash collection bid to Ecological Paper Recycling.
The company believed that the City Commission violated Florida's Government in the Sunshine law when it ranked the potential companies, on July 18 in a closed-door meeting without a public hearing. When a second evaluation took place, the scores were 85 percent identical, according to the complaint.
Judge Zabel's ruling recognized Progressive's contention that the city, "erred in evaluating the various proposals submitted and awarding the contracts to Ecological," but concluded that this wasn't enough to grant the injunction.

Swan Direction Creative Dance Project for Key Stage 2, Salford, Sunderland and Plymouth
These Key Stage 2 workshops offered pupils a unique opportunity to explore themes and characters from the classic ballet. The project introduced pupils to the ballets steps and mime, and gave children the chance to create their own motifs to music.
Dancers Liz Foster, Colin Sangster and Susie Tate led the workshops in Salford and Sunderland, accompanied by pianist Helen Watkinson. Company dancer Jonathan Payn led the workshop in Plymouth, where the project even made it into the schools newsletter, which can be viewed by clicking here.
'The children had a wonderful time and certainly used "learning muscles" like imitation and collaboration in their learning' Head Teacher, College Road Primary School, Plymouth
'Some of the boys were sceptical about a ballet class... but they really enjoyed it!' Teacher, Bridgewater Primary School, Salford
'It was elegant and educational and I enjoyed it so much!' Pupil, Dukesgate Academy, Salford
'WOW! That ballet teacher was fabulous!' Pupil, Hilton Lane Primary School, Salford
The project was delivered in partnership with Hulton Education in Partnership Action Zone (Salford), Sunderland Empire and Theatre Royal (Plymouth).

As soon as I read the ingredients, I knew this was same recipe my mother gave to me many years ago. She would make this for entertaining guests, and I always loved it. This is a super simple, yet elegant appetizer- and filling enough that you could use in lieu of an entree. Also- usually none left, but when there is some, I have used it as filling in omelettes for Sunday morning brunch ( super delish!). If you've never made this and like both crab and artichokes, you wont be disappointed.

EL PASO — City Council's decision to pass a motion approving plans to build a downtown baseball stadium faces opposition from registered voters. They planned to gather in front of City Hall Tuesday at 4 p.m.
Members from the group Quality of Life Voters (QOL) said they've gathered over 1,500 signatures from voters opposed to what they are calling a "secret and arbitrary process in violation of city policies." The proposed baseball stadium would require the destruction of City Hall, Insights Museum and a community garden plot.
Members said the goal of the organization is that Quality of Life decisions in El Paso, Texas not be imposed without prior voter approval.

A ribbon cutting took place in Merrill for the new Public Safety Campus. The project provides real-life experience for first responders.
It includes a village with storefronts and streets.
In a command center, there are monitors that keep track of remote control targets and play recorded sound effects, like a person screaming or a dog barking. NTC leaders say it aimed at making the training as realistic as possible.
Two years ago, the original campus was destroyed by a tornado that hit Merrill. At the time, North Central Technical College was in the process of revamping the campus. The tornado gave school leaders an opportunity to make the campus much larger.
The two million dollar project is the result of insurance payments on the original facility, as well as community donations and money from the NTC Foundation.

One thing that he didn't point out here that I fine IMMENSELY helpful as a MM hunter is to configure it to show your trinket procs. I forget the name of the Mirror proc buff at the moment, but in the heat of battle it can be very hard to notice it going off in a blizzard of scrolling battle text.
It's quite nice to know when you have your extra 1kAP! Reapply your SStng to make sure it's ticking at the highest level (Remember as a MM, you are trying to keep the same SStng up the whole fight with Chimera, which will also do more damage with a bigger SStng applied)pop your other trinket, pop your rapid fire (or readiness) and blast away :)

Reasons To Believe
1. The Three Amigos - Cutler has been in need of a reliable pass catcher ever since the Bears acquired him in 2009. This off-season the club finally made a significant move at the position, trading for Cutler's former number one target in Denver, Brandon Marshall. Chicago also brought in Cutler's old quarterbacks coach from his days at Mile High, Jeremy Bates. In two seasons in Miami, Marshall still averaged 84 catches and 1,114 yards per season with below average quarterback play. Needless to say, both players are happy to be reunited.
2. Run Together - When Forte was lost to injury last season, the Bears turned to Marion Barber and eventually Kahlil Bell to carry the load. Neither player was able to spell Forte during the year, or adequately replace him once he was sidelined. Enter Michael Bush. The longtime Raider knows all about being an understudy after backing up injury report regular Darren McFadden in Oakland. Bush can be a short yardage and goal line back or handle the rock if Forte is out for any period of time.
3. Today's Special - Under special teams coordinator Dave Toub the Bears third unit has been at or near the top of the league. Devin Hester steals all the headlines with his electrifying returns, but the Bears special teams are solid in all facets. They signed Eric Weems, who was a Pro Bowl returner in 2010, and he will likely take over kickoff returns to allow Hester to focus on punt returns and offensive snaps. Kicker Robbie Gould and punter Adam Podlesh have also managed to thrive, despite playing in the Windy City.
Reasons To Doubt
1. The Life of Brian - Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher underwent arthroscopic surgery in August and reports out of Chicago suggested it wasn't his first surgery of the off-season. There are reports that Urlacher had the same treatment on his knee a few months ago that Kobe Bryant had done in Europe last year. The results were positive for Kobe, so there is hope for Urlacher, who claims he will be in the lineup Week 1. If he is unable to play early in the season or if his knees don't hold up, it would be a major downgrade for the Bears' defence.
2. Issues On The Line - Offensive line coach Mike Tice is the new offensive coordinator, taking over for Mike Martz. However, Tice will still need to focus on getting the most out of his unit up front, a group that has allowed 105 sacks in two seasons. The Bears blocking has been a problem area for the team for a few seasons and they nearly got Cutler killed a year ago. Tice has promised fewer seven step drops in his offence, but that doesn't completely solve the issue. If 2011 first round pick Gabe Carimi can lock down the right tackle spot, that would be a start.
3. Step Up - Most of the attention on the defensive line will be paid to the rushers on the edges, leaving the Bears' defensive tackles primarily one-on-one inside. Henry Melton, Stephen Paea, John McCargo, and Brian Price will all battle for playing time with Melton and Paea being the favourites to land the jobs. Melton came up with seven sacks a year ago, but that's more a product of the system than the player. If Urlacher misses time as well, offences will attack up the middle and very well could be successful doing so.
What To Expect
Even with the questions on the offensive line, the Bears offence will be more dangerous thanks to their improvements in the passing game. With their defence holding strong, Chicago will remain in the playoff hunt this season and be able to hold off the Lions for second in the NFC North behind the Packers. A second place finish in the division will be good enough to help them capture a wild card berth in the NFC.

JFJ recalled
The Edmonton Oilers recalled Jean-Francois Jacques today. It's an interesting move considering he played about 3 minutes in the first game of the year and was promptly sent out.
There were some indicators that coach MacT wasn't as down on him as it first appeared, including an item in Matty's Journal column yesterday:
Winger J.F. Jacques had the Gordie Howe hat-trick for Springfield Saturday in their 4-2 loss to San Jose's AHL farm club (Worcester). Goal, assist and a fight. He played three minutes and change in the opener against San Jose, helping set up the winner by Gilbert when he fought off Ryane Clowe to get the puck up the ice. MacTavish liked his attitude when he was sent down, though. He sensed he didn't want to be in the AHL for long.
Jacques is quite simply a fascinating prospect. He has such an interesting assortment of skills that he's impossible to avoid: massive frame combined with good foot speed and an impact hitter when he makes contact.
He hasn't scored a point in 45 regular season games, he's wildly inconsistent and a guy this big not impacting a game physically is a crime.
Why did they recall him?
One reason might be that unlike last season where he made the team and then sat for a long stretch (he made the opening night roster and didn't see the ice until October 25th last year, which was 20 days and the 9th game of the 06-07 season) before getting even a look on the big team.
Another might be that the Oilers play Boogaard and the Wild tomorrow night and they're not going to send Gagner over the boards.

How to Prevent Ingrown Hairs & Razor Burnby Michelle Powell-Smith
Shaving irritations are a common concern, including ingrown hairs, razor burn and redness. These can be both unattractive and uncomfortable. If you have sensitive skin, shaving may be especially problematic. A smart shaving strategy can reduce irritation and eliminate some of these skin problems, whether you are shaving your legs, underarms or bikini line.
Items you will need
- Moisturizing shaving cream or gel
- New disposable razor or blades for a reusable razor
- Exfoliating loofah or scrub
- Alcohol-free aloe vera gel
Spend a few minutes in the shower or bathtub before shaving. Allow the hot water to soften the hair by shaving near the end of your shower or bath.
Exfoliate the skin lightly with a loofah or a gentle exfoliating scrub. Avoid harsh products. Choose a scrub or loofah appropriate for your skin type and where you are shaving.
Apply a moisturizing shaving cream or gel to the skin and hair. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and be rather generous with your shaving product for a smooth shave that will not cause ingrown hairs.
Shave in the direction of hair growth to avoid razor burn. Apply even pressure to the razor, but not excessive. Try not to shave the same area more than once.
Apply an alcohol-free aloe vera gel to the skin after shaving to soothe irritated skin without clogging pores or contributing to irritation and razor burn.
- Many women find that hair conditioner works well as a shaving cream.
- Shaving against the grain produces a much smoother and closer shave; however, it is also significantly more likely to cause razor burn and irritation.
