What Is Paint Protection Film ?
Paint Protection Film or Invisible Stone Guard is the latest development of a technology designed to protect the paint on your vehicle from stone chips along with damage to the headlight lenses.
Will It Cause The Paint To Fade Faster?
No. Paint Protection Film is transparent to UV so the paint under the film ages at the same rate as the unprotected paint.
Will The Film Turn Yellow?
No. While the film allows UV through to the paint the film itself is UV stable and will not yellow.
Can I See The Invisible Stone Guard When It Is Applied?
Yes, but you really have to look for it! There is a fine line where the film ends, which is visible when you are looking for it however the new technology films are very hard to notice and are super-glossy and resilient.
Is There Any Way To Have No Fine Line When The Film Ends?
Yes & No. You can have the entire panel covered but this becomes very expensive and the patterns are designed to give maximum protection for minimum cost. Not all panels can be wrapped this way as the make up of the film whilst being 'conformable' is not as conformable as other normal coloured films as they are thicker and specifically designed for paint protection film rather than colour change.
Why Not Use Bulk Film To Cover The Vehicle Instead Of Pre-cut Patterns?
Applying bulk film to a panel entails cutting the film on the vehicle. This is fraught with danger as it is very easy to slip and cut into the paint you are trying to protect. By using computer cut patterns you are assured there will be no cutting on the vehicle and all edges are smooth and straight.
What Happens If You Don't Have A Pattern For My Car?
We can create a pattern for an individual vehicle.
Can The Paint Protection Film Be Removed?
Yes the film can be removed. It has an aggressive adhesive to hold it in place for the life of the vehicle but if it needs to be removed, for any reason, it will not damage factory original paint. Vehicles with repaints are not warranted against damage during film removal, as we have no control over the preparation involved in the repaint. Usually the reason for removal is accident damage and the panel has to be repainted. A new piece of Clear Stone Guard can be applied after the paint has cured. We recommend 2-4weeks curing time for freshly painted paint to cure before applying paint protection film/.
How Do I Maintain My Paint Protection Film?
Just normal washing and waxing of the vehicle will keep the Paint Protection Film in good condition. Plastic cleaners such as Vuplex are available and can be used with safety on Paint Protection Film and the paint. A microfibre cloth is recommended for all cleaning.

The Los Alamos Hilltopper football team was blasted by the Farmington Scorpions in the Four Corners area Friday night.
The Scorpions scored a touchdown just 9 seconds into Friday's game and scored on their first play of their next possession and never looked back. The Scorpions won big in just one half of play, 53-0.
Farmington (3-2), which won the Class 4A championship last season, scored 31 points in the first quarter to begin the rout.
Los Alamos, midway through the second quarter, had minus-4 yards total offense, while Farmington did virtually anything it wanted on both sides of the ball.
In their last 10 quarters, the Hilltoppers have managed just one offensive score.
Los Alamos (0-5) will have its final nondistrict game of the season Friday when it hosts the Santa Fe Demons.
JV football team faces Hope Christian Monday
Los Alamos' junior varsity football team has a game set for Monday at home. Los Alamos will take on Hope Christian at 4:30 p.m. at Sullivan Field.
The Hilltoppers should go into Monday's game with some momentum. They shut out the Santa Fe Demons last week 41-0 in Santa Fe.
That win was the Hilltoppers' second of the season. They nipped St. Michael's 9-6 Sept. 8.
ALBUQUERQUE — In one of its first big tests of the regular season, the Los Alamos Hilltopper cross country teams passed with flying colors.
Los Alamos faced off against some tough Albuquerque-area competition Friday afternoon at the Academy Invitational. Both the Hilltopper boys and girls teams picked up runner-up finishes at the event.
The Hilltopper girls finished second with 79 points, coming in behind only one of the top programs in Class 6A, the Eldorado Eagles. The Hilltopper boys, meanwhile, finished with 110 points for their runner-up finish.
Winning the boys event, however, was the team the Hilltoppers need to catch up to this season, Academy's Chargers.
The Chargers, who appear once again to be the team to beat come state meet time, finished with 48 points, earning three slots in the top 10 individually. The Chargers were paced by Jordan Lesansee, who finished as the individual runner-up.
This is hardly the first year the Hiltoppers had to make up ground on the Chargers at this point in the season. In fact, it's a relatively rare occurrence when the Hilltoppers beat the Chargers at any point during the regular season.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls soccer teams have a home-and-away doubleheader against Taos set for Saturday.
Both Hilltopper teams will face Taos, a former district rival, Saturday afternoon. The Hilltopper boys will be at Eco Park in Taos, while the Hilltopper girls will host the Tigers at Sullivan Field.
Taos' boys (5-4) have been a formidable group this season, although they were blasted by Santa Fe Prep earlier this month, 5-0, and have lost three straight heading into Saturday's game.
For the Tiger girls, they had won seven straight to start the season, but dropped their last two contests. They fell to Santa Fe Sept. 16, then dropped a 3-1 decision at St. Michael's Wednesday.
Los Alamos' boys are 3-7-2 and are winless since Sept. 5.
The Hilltopper girls blasted Capital 10-0 their last time out to improve to 5-6.
Local angler Amy Anderson's big catches this year have caught some national attention.
Anderson, who landed a 42-inch, 25-pound tiger musky in June, is ranked 18th in the country among women who have snagged muskies this year, that's according to a national fishing magazine.
Rankings are done by a point system and Anderson finished a recent national poll with 20 points for the two muskies she's landed, including the 42-incher she hooked at Bluewater Lake, which is located approximately 40 miles west of Grants.
A tiger musky is a hybrid of a musky and a Northern Pike. Tigers are known for their needle-like teeth.
Among all hybrids landed this year, Anderson's ranks the 25th biggest. Interestingly, six of the of the top 25 in the nation were caught at Bluewater Lake, which is one of the hottest spots in the country for tiger musky fishing.
Only about an hour prior to Anderson's big catch June 12, her husband, Stan Kosiewicz landed a 35-inch tiger musky of his own.
Kosiewicz and Anderson are catch-and-release anglers.
The Los Alamos Middle School Hawk eighth grade cross country teams swept both the boys and girls titles at Wednesday's Albuquerque Academy Invitational.
The Hawk eighth grade boys finished with a perfect score as Jevon Montoya, Shawn Williams, Duncan Fuehne, Jeremyah Palmer-Scott and Elijah Vasquez earned the top five places in that competition.
That same group earned a perfect score at last week's Española Middle School Invitational, with Montoya again leading the way.
Montoya, who ran a 10:00 on the 1.72-mile course at Española, finished the Academy meet with a time of 10:43, 15 seconds ahead of Williams, the overall runner-up.
In Wednesday's eighth grade girls competition, Paulina Burnside paced the Haws with her time of 12:43, while Marin Kelly finished in 13:30. For the Hawk eighth grade girls, they took five of the top 11 spots in the race, which was good enough to hold off runner-up Desert Ridge.
Ashlyn Baker, Rachel Bowman and Kristin Fassbender all scored for the Hawks.
In the seventh grade races at Academy, the Hawk boys finished as the runners-up in team competition and the girls finished third overall.
Leading the way for the seventh grade boys was Gavin Campos, who clocked an 11:17. Liliana Garcia finished first among the Hawk girls seventh graders, coming in at 14:22.
Ted Romero was a dual winner at Tuesday's Atomic City Roadrunners Pace Race.
This week's race was on North Mesa.
Not only was Romero the fastest finisher on the 3-mile course, finishing in a time of 19 minutes, 50 seconds, he was also the best predictor. Romero was off by just 2 seconds, which was good enough to just nip David Kratzer, who was 3 seconds off.
Also on the 3-mile course, Nikol Strother finished in 20:02. On the 1-mile course, Rao Garimella and Lauraine Maness were the fastest finishers.
The next Pace Race will be 6 p.m. Tuesday. The race will start at the Barranca Mesa Elementary School parking lot.
There will be both 1-mile and 3-mile courses available.
For Tuesday's race, short course will be paved and the longer course will have both paved and trail portions.
For more information, call 672-1639 or visit atomicrunners.com.
In Tuesday's story, "LA inducts top athletic figures into Hall of Fame," it was incorrectly stated the Hilltopper football team had won just one state championship in its history. It has actually won two state championships, those coming in 1950 and in 1966. The Los Alamos Monitor regrets the error.
One of the toughest tests of the 2014 season is coming up this weekend for the Los Alamos Hilltopper football team.
Right on the heels of its unhappy homecoming game, a 24-6 loss to the Kirtland Central Broncos, the Hilltoppers will hit the road to take on a state champion from just a year ago.
Los Alamos will meet the Farmington Scorpions Friday night at Hutchison Stadium. The Scorpions, despite dropping two straight contests, are still a very tough customer that the Hilltoppers will have to be leery of.
Los Alamos, of course, is 0-4 on the season following the homecoming loss, one of just two teams in Class 5A that haven't secured a win in 2014.
There isn't an overabundance of positives in Los Alamos' circumstances right now, but there are a few.
Except for the St. Pius contest, the Hilltopper defense has played fairly well for most of the year. The defense, which has been affected by injuries but not to the same extent as the offense, has managed to keep Los Alamos within striking distance the past two weeks and was responsible for the only Hilltopper points against Moriarty.
The defense should be further buoyed by the return of senior middle linebacker Eliott Hersman, who was injured in the preseason but made some important stops Friday against Kirtland Central.
It may be early in the season, but it's still one of the big showdowns prior to the state meet.
Los Alamos' cross country teams will head to Albuquerque Friday to take part in the Academy Invitational. That race, of course, is hosted by the Hilltoppers' toughest Class 5A foe, the Academy Chargers.
The Hilltoppers took last week off following their win at the Academy for Technology and the Classics meet victories. The Hilltoppers swept both sides of that event, winning the girls team championship with 23 points and the boys title with 30 points.
While those were solid wins on both ends for Los Alamos, the competition will be ratcheted up considerably Friday afternoon.
Along with the Chargers, some formidable Class 6A competition from the Albuquerque area is expected to participate, including teams from Eldorado, Cleveland, Cibola and La Cueva.
But the highlight will be the Los Alamos-Academy heads-up competition. Those two teams, as usual, are projected to go toe-to-toe for this year's state title.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper volleyball team was looking to pick up its second win of the season over the Moriarty Pintos, but the Pintos had other plans Tuesday.
Moriarty, which fell 3-1 to Los Alamos at its home tournament earlier this month, returned the favor by knocking off the Hilltoppers at Griffith Gymnasium. Moriarty took the first two sets 25-21, 25-23 before the Hilltoppers bounced back in sets three and four, taking those 25-21, 25-13.
But the Pintos got the early edge in the decisive fifth set, winning that 15-8 for the match win.
After the Pintos went ahead 2-0, the Hilltoppers' service game got going in the next two sets, while the Pintos (5-6) struggled to get serves back, particularly against Los Alamos libero Ashlynn Trujillo, who had a big match.
Those few serves that Moriarty did manage to return were often free balls which Los Alamos teed off on.
But Moriarty jumped out to a 7-3 lead in the final set and Los Alamos never put up the rally it needed to get back into contention.
Los Alamos (4-4) had won four straight contests, giving up just two sets in those wins, but has now lost two straight decisions. It fell to Santa Fe last week 3-1.
Next up, the Hilltoppers will take part in the Rio Rancho Invitational.

Just Binge-Listened to 95 SaaStr Podcasts, Here's What I Learned
Looking for Data on Data Journalism
After ten fantastic interviews with data journalists about their work, one point is already clear – data literacy is an increasingly essential skill.
Matt Keifer of the Chicago Reporter puts it succinctly: "Data is getting to be ubiquitous. … I think that 'data journalism' is an anachronism waiting to happen. Just call it journalism."
Daniel Hertz, Senior Fellow at the City Observatory, looks at open data when exploring a new story: "It usually starts with a question and you realize that this is an answerable empirical question, and the numbers are publicly available, and nobody has put them together yet."
Jeff Kelly Lowenstein, an investigative reporter and journalism teacher, observes: "For me, data journalism is using publicly available data to strengthen or fortify your reporting. … [It's] using data to ask more probing and systemic questions than what you can do by only working on individual cases."
And so the data projects begin.
A Call for More Data!
Up to this point, we've dug in hard on the qualitative end of our Data Journalism Research Project. But we'd certainly be remiss not to tackle the quantitative side as well, right?
To that end, based on our discussions, we've created a quick survey to get some insight on the most common data tools, formats and procedures used by journalists. We think it'll end up being pretty instructive.
Our plan is to get this out far and wide into the data journalist community to get the zeitgeist of how journalists are using data. After the survey period closes, we'll publish the aggregate results for all to see.

Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin Rolls Back Auto Insurance Rates, Freezes Them, and Orders Refunds
Goodwin Signs Settlement That Decreases Auto Rates and Freezes Them Until At Least 2011: Approximately One Million Policyholders to Receive Refund Checks Together Totaling more than $50 Million.
July 15, 2009
RALEIGH — Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin today signed a settlement with the North Carolina Rate Bureau that will roll back private passenger auto insurance rates to just under 2006 levels; the changes will go into effect on Nov. 1, and are retroactive to Jan. 1.
The North Carolina Rate Bureau (NCRB) is an independent organization that represents all auto insurance companies in the state.
The settlement does away with the NCRB's implemented 9.4 percent 2008 rate increase and denies their 2009 request for an additional 1.4 percent rate increase and includes an additional .5% decrease. Under the settlement, the NCRB may not file changes to auto rates until 2011, which means that the maximum allowable auto rates are locked in until Oct. 1, 2011 at the earliest. This saves North Carolina policyholders an estimated $545 million over this time period.
"I'm thrilled that North Carolina drivers will see a decrease in their auto insurance rates," said Commissioner Goodwin. "Drivers will not only see lower rates, but many will also receive refund checks beginning in mid-2010 that may together total more than $50 million. In this economy, every dollar counts, and I am committed to protecting consumers through fair ratemaking."
The refunds stem from a dispute between the Department and the NCRB over rates ordered in 2008. During the appeals process, the NCRB implemented an interim 9.4 percent rate increase that went into effect on Jan.1 of this year. In cases where insurance companies charged policyholders more than the rates determined by this settlement, insurance companies are required by statute to refund the difference between the rates charged and the settled rates, with interest.
"With this rate rollback, the effect is that I will have capped rates for the five year period spanning from 2006 through 2011," added Insurance Commissioner Goodwin.
The Department of Insurance has consistently issued small or no rate increases, and in many cases has ordered rate decreases. Combined, this has potentially saved drivers more that $5 billion over the last 25 years.
To learn more about this terrific news for consumers, a sample of TV video and newspaper coverage is here, here, here, here, and here. The Department's official press release is here.

Unique breaking and winnowing technology
Royal Duyvis Wiener B.V. offers F.B. Lehmann's unique breaking and winnowing technology for the breaking of raw, dried, roasted, cold or hot beans. Lehmann's high-end version of winnowing machines uses three stages of breakers to crack the cocoa beans with a power range of 1 – cracks 8 ton / h.
The frequency controlled rotation speed of the breakers increases from one stage to the next, with broken beans sorted between stages. Each cocoa bean only receives sufficient energy necessary to break the shell.
All sizes of nib and shell run through a vertical winnowing duct, where the turbulent airflow takes up the lightweight shell, and the heavy nibs fall onto the downstream conveyor.

HARDEMAN, D. BARNARD, JR. (1914–1981). D. B. Hardeman, teacher, journalist, politician, and political advisor, was born on August 16, 1914, in Goliad, the son of D. Barnard and Sue (Pettus) Hardeman. After he graduated as valedictorian of his Goliad High School class, he attended the University of Texas, where he served as editor of the campus newspaper, the Daily Texan, and received his B.A. in English in 1933. He attended the University of Texas law school for two years after 1938 and later passed the state bar exam, though he never practiced law. Before World War II Hardeman managed statewide campaigns of candidates for lieutenant governor and superintendent of public instruction (now called commissioner for education). During the war, as a counterintelligence officer in Europe, he earned the rank of major and several battle stars before his discharge in 1946. Later that year he managed the unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign of Homer P. Rainey, after Rainey had been dismissed from the presidency of the University of Texas.
Hardeman was elected to the legislature in 1950. He represented Grayson and Collin counties in 1951–53 and again in 1955–57. In 1952 he worked for the Stevenson-Sparkman presidential campaign in Texas as an assistant to Samuel T. (Sam) Rayburn. Hardeman helped rebuild the Democratic party in Texas after the 1952 loss to Eisenhower and helped establish the state's Democratic Advisory Committee in 1953–54 to oppose Democrats who were supporting Eisenhower. In 1955 and 1956 he was in charge of Adlai Stevenson's campaign in Florida during Stevenson's next bid for the presidency. After 1957 Hardeman worked as an assistant to Rayburn in Washington until the speaker's death in 1961. During the Kennedy-Johnson campaign in 1960, as an advance man for vice-presidential candidate Lyndon B. Johnson, Hardeman arranged campaign stops from North Carolina to El Paso and Chicago. After Rayburn's death he worked in the Washington office of Democratic majority whip Hale Boggs of Louisiana. In 1964 President Johnson invited Hardeman to join the famed "5 O'Clock Club," which met daily at the White House to discuss presidential campaign strategy.
Hardeman taught political science at Trinity College in Washington, D.C., and returned to Texas to teach in San Antonio at Incarnate Word College, Our Lady of the Lake University, and the University of Texas at San Antonio. In 1964 he was named the first Honorary Congressional Fellow by the American Political Science Association, a distinction later shared with Dean Acheson and Hubert Humphrey. Designated by Sam Rayburn as the longtime speaker's official biographer, Hardeman was writing the biography when he died on December 3, 1981, in San Antonio. The book, Rayburn: A Biography, was completed by Donald C. Bacon in 1987. It was well received by critics and scholars. Before his death Hardeman had arranged for the removal of the body of his grandfather, Joseph Henry Barnard, from Canada to the State Cemetery in Austin. Hardeman and Barnard were buried beneath a twin marker at the State Cemetery after a joint burial service.

1. Matter is made up of very small particles called atoms.
2. Each atom has a very small and very dense core known as the nucleus.
3. Most of the mass of the atom is contained in the nucleus.
4. The electrons move in orbits around the nucleus.
5. The diameter of the nucleus is about 100 000 times smaller than the diameter of the atom.
6. This means that there are lots of empty spaces within an atom.
7. The subatomic particles in a nucleus are called nucleons.
8. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons.
9. The proton is a positively charged particle. It carries a charge of +e, where e is equal to 1.6 × 10-19 C.
10. The neutron carries no charge. The neutrons has approximately the same mass as the proton.
11. The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is known as the proton number, Z.
12. The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is known as nucleon number, A or mass number.
13. Then number of neutrons, N = A – Z
Nuclide Notation
1. A nuclide is a type of atom with a particular nucleon number. This term is also used for a type of nucleus.
2. The nuclide notation of an atom gives the symbol of the elements, the proton number and the nucleon number of the atom.
1. Isotopes are atoms of the same elements with the same numbers of protons but different number of neutrons.
2. isotopes have the same proton number but different nucleon numbers.
3. All isotopes of an element have the same chemical properties because their electrons are arranged in exactly the same way.
4. Their physical properties such as densities, boiling points and melting points are different.
5. Some elements in nature such as oxygen,carbon, and bromine consist of a mixture of isotopes.
6. Some isotopes of an element are stable while some are unstable. The unstable isotopes or radioisotopes.
7. Radioisotopes will undergo spontaneous decay to emit radioactive rays such as alpha, beta and gamma rays. After radioactive decay, the proton number and nucleon number of the radioisotope may be changed.

However, walking robots still need further improvement if they are to compete with traditional vehicles. A potential improvement could be made through optimization at design time. A better distribution of the legs around a robot's body can help decrease actuator size in the design procedure and reduce power consumption during walking as well, which is of vital importance in autonomous robots. This paper, thus, presents a method focused on the distribution of legs around the body to decrease maximum foot forces against the ground, which play heavily in determining robot shape and actuator size.

Try Compensation Software
Compensation Software Guide
Total Rewards Software
The Importance Of Using A Compensation Software
The term compensation can be defined as anything that an organization offers to their employees as a reward for their time and effort contributed towards the success of the place. This is a form of motivation which can be intrinsic or extrinsic rewards. Intrinsic rewards bring about an inward satisfaction, for instance, a word of praise or recognition from your employer made you feel good and energized to work more. Extrinsic rewards are the most valued since they are tangible for example salary increment, promotions, company car, health insurance.
Compensation management is very crucial in an organization as it makes it observant. The managers are always on the outlook to identify the hardworking employees and those who need to be rewarded for their effort. The employees work hard to make sure they are among those who are rewarded. By rewarding the employees, you can maintain them and avoid instances of resignations.
Compensation management is a form of positive reinforcement. Rewards, especially in monetary form, contributes to a good job done in an organization. The company can make big profits due to the effort from the employees. To know more about compensation software, visit
Compensation management boosts the reputation of the organization. When the employees are happy about their monetary and intrinsic rewards, they go out speaking positive things about the company which makes other people interested in working there. Additional talents are brought in by the new employees who fill the vacant positions.
To make the compensation process a success then you need the help of software. The
compensation analysis software
helps you plan efficiently. It also advises you as you do the planning as well as alerting you on when to do the reviews. It also helps in making the compensation process automatic such that you won't have to spend so much time on the tedious process of planning. This means that the compensation planning process is simplified.
When choosing the best c
ompensation management solution
, there are several factors to consider. The software should have time alerts so that as the manager you can be able to reward the employees in a precise, well-timed and modified way. The software should give you advice so that you can make fast decisions about the awards so that the good performers can be recognized and rewarded to keep them going.
The software should be secure. It should have security features that cannot allow just anybody to access the compensation data since this is very confidential information for the organization.

Which Foods Increase Melanin Production
Melanin is a pigment found in our skin, our hair and the irises of our eyes. Melanin is also part of what determines our skin color. It can be found in smaller quantities in the inner ear and brain. Melanin is responsible for absorbing UVA and UVB rays to protect us from their harmful effects. During this process it makes our skin darker leading to the often desirable suntan. To protect our skin and hair from sunlight, you can eat foods nutrients such as vitamin A which increase melanin production to get a more natural tan. Foods which increase melanin production include carrots, tomatoes, melons, fish and dairy. Keep reading this oneHOWTO to learn about which foods boost melanin production and how they work on our skin.
Foods that increase melanin: carrot
Foods rich in vitamin A encourage melanin production as well as maintaining its levels and making our tans last longer. The humble carrot is one of the largest sources of vitamin A. This product is composed mainly of beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A that is actively involved in the stimulation of melanin production and consequent tanning of the skin. Among its other multiple benefits, we know that this is a natural product which promotes the formation of retinal pigment in our eyes. It is there for the proper maintenance of the cells lining our skin. If we get a suntan from it and look good, this is a bonus. A healthy suntan will make us look healthy because the melanin is doing its job.
Foods that increase melanin: tomato
Foods rich in beta-carotene, also include tomatoes as another major natural source of melanin. By having a similar composition to carrots, their effect on our skin and eyes are the same. Besides these two foods, watermelon, also favors increased levels of melanin in our body.
Foods that increase melanin: melons
Although vitamin A promotes stimulation of melanin production, it is not unique since Vitamin E also supports this function. In this regard, melon is a fruit that has a high content of both vitamins. This makes it an ideal source for increasing levels of the pigment and promoting tanning, among other advantages. Also, it is a food with high antioxidant properties. This helps prevent the premature aging of cells. This includes skin cells, so not only will you have healthy tanned skin thanks to an increase of melanin production, but it will be stronger and make you appear more youthful. This is as long as you eat as part of a well balanced diet.
Foods that increase melanin: egg yolk
The yolk of an egg is another natural product with a higher rate of vitamin E. We can't miss it off our list of foods that increase melanin. Although most of the vitamin E is concentrated in the yolk, the egg white also contains it and other vitamins such as vitamin B complex. Take a look at all the beauty uses of egg for more information on more than just melanin production.
Foods that increase melanin: Dairy
Dairy products are also a great source of vitamin A that are ideal for increasing levels of melanin. Furthermore, they are composed of essential amino acids (in certain cases) like tyrosine and cystine. These are fundamental to the production of this pigment in our body. Although dairy products like milk, yogurt and cheese are the main foods rich in these amino acids, they are not the only ones. Tyrosine is also found in rice, corn, chicken and avocados. Ensure not to go beyond your daily intake of any essential or non-essential amino acids.
Foods that increase melanin: Fish
Finally, the importance of vitamin D should be noted when it comes to protecting our skin from the harmful effects of sunlight. In this sense, oily fish such as salmon contain a very high percentage of this vitamin. They help both melanin production and the general protection of our skin. However, due to its high content of fats you should not eat it every day. It is best to have it twice a week and no more. Canned tuna is also a great natural source of vitamin E.
Foods that increase melanin: Berries
Blueberries and strawberries are rich sources of Vitamin C, another powerful agent that boosts melanin production. Moreover, Blueberry is also a great vitamin E agent, thus helping fight free radicals that can deter your skin from producing more melanin. We are missing out other fruits high in vitamin C. Oranges, red peppers and grapefruit are more commonly known to produce vitamin C and are therefore foods which increase melanin production.
As you may have guessed, any orange colored fruits and vegetables have high beta-carotene and can thus help boost your body's melanin production. Apricot contains pro-vitamin A carotenoids as well as high amounts of vitamin C. This is why it's one of the best fruits you can take to boost melanin levels.
Other ways to increase melanin
On the market there are many cosmetic products that promote increased levels of melanin in the body in order to improve skin tanning and maintain good hair color.
However, the use of natural products are always more desirable than synthetic products when possible. No doubt the fastest and most effective way to increase melanin (and make skin darker) is exposure to the sun. However, we must do it safely. If we do not take care of our skin and hair, the damages may outweigh the benefits. Take a look at what happens when melanin decreases for more information. You can also learn about melanin inhibitors to make sure you are not having an increased intake of these.
Finally, include supplements of the vitamins mentioned above, melanin pills, tyrosine and gingko. However, you should consult your doctor before taking any of them to let you know whether or not you can take them. They can also advise on dosage. You'll find a complete list of the best supplements for tanning in this article.

The Titanic is a famous ship that sank in 1912. The dramatic story of the ocean liner has fascinate d millions of people around the world. It was supposed to be an unsinkable ship but it hit an iceber g and sank on its very first voyage.
There have been many documentaries, films and books about the Titanic. Interest in the ship was h eightened in 1997 when a movie called Titanic was released, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
The replica Titanic ocean liner will be called Titanic II. It is scheduled to sail in 2016, from Southa mpton, England to New York in the United States.
It is being built in China. The designers want it to be as similar to the original Titanic as possible, except for some changes that will make it safer and more stable. And unlike the original Titanic, w hich was powered by coal-fired boilers and steam engines, the Titanic II will have modern diesel ( 柴 油
机 ) and electric engines. Also, unlike the first ship, the Titanic II will have more than enough lifeb oats to accommodate everyone on board if something should go wrong.
Palmer's design would include many features of the original Edwardian design, including the gran d staircase and Turkish baths. Passengers would be given Edwardian costumes so the whole experi ence would feel like they were back in 1912. No modern conveniences like television or cell phon es would be allowed.
But don't book your ticket to New York just yet. Clive Palmer has a reputation for starting outrage ous ( 反 常 的 , 令 人 吃 惊
的 ) projects and not seeing them through. For instance, a few years ago he created a company to b uild a zeppelin (齐柏林飞艇), but it never happened.
If the same thing happens with Titanic II, it could leave some people disappointed — more than 40 000 people have asked for a ticket on Titanic II's first voyage, including some who have offered t o pay more than a million dollars for a first-class cabin on board. 21.The difference between Titanic II and the original Titanic is ________. A.Titanic II is not for sailing purpose B.Titanic II is safer than the original Titanic C.Titanic II is larger than the original Titanic D.Titanic II hasn't any features of the Edwardian design 22. Passengers on the Titanic II are expected to ________. A.watch the movie Titanic through television B.enjoy the convenience of modern means of communication C.enjoy the atmosphere and surroundings of being back in 1912 D.experience a voyage on a ship with coal-fired boilers and steam engines 23.It can be learned from the passage that ________.
A.it's too expensive to travel on Titanic II B.few people prepare to travel on Titanic II C.Titanic II still leaves many safety problems to be solved D.whether Titanic II will be smoothly on its voyage is still unknown 24. Which of the following is the probable title of the passage? A.An expensive voyage from England to the United States B.The first voyage of Titanic II C.Australian billionaire on mission to recreate Titanic D.The safety problems faced in the construction of Titanic II B
The thrill of trying on a wedding dress is a cherished experience for many brides. Take it from Rut h Sullivan, who, at the age of 92, finally got that princess moment she had been longing for her ent ire life.
The Frankfort, Kentucky native married her husband, Norman Sullivan, in Columbus, Ohio in the year 1946. World War II had ended, and there weren't too many big weddings at that time, so she didn't get to wear a grand white wedding dress, although they did spring for ( 钱) a hotel stay to celebrate her wedding. 付
Ruth enjoyed being together with her husband although they couldn't spare any money for a pretty white wedding dress. Norman passed away in 2004. Throughout their 58-year marriage, Ruth alw ays wondered, "What if?"
"I really wanted to know if I would look pretty. It was something that I never got to do and I just wanted the experience of trying them on," Sullivan tells us.
Thanks to the help of Second Wind Dreams — a group whose goal is to change the concept of agi ng — and David's Bridal, she enjoyed a fun-filled day trying on beautiful wedding gowns with her loved ones in attendance.
"Our elders had lives and a story to tell. Some of them want to relive their past and some want to d o something they never got to do — like Ruth wearing a wedding dress," says Canice Beaty, the Managing Director of Second Wind Dreams.
After trying on dresses, Sullivan and her "bridal party" were picked up and taken to a reception at the historic Glen Willis House, located in Frankfort. At Ruth's wedding, her sister told her to put a dime( 十 分 硬
币 ) in her ring box so that it would be bless her marriage. At the time, no one had a dime, so they placed two nickels( 五 分 镍
币 ) in the ring box, and she still has them today. The highlight of the reception was when a ring bo x with a dime was brought out — there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Sullivan reflects on her emotional day: "I am overwhelmed ( 在) at all that has come from this." 25. What's Ruth's pity in her previous life? A.She didn't celebrate her wedding. B.She didn't take good care of her husband. C.She couldn't live together with her husband. 淹 没
D.She didn't wear a wedding dress when she got married. 26. What was the most touching part of Ruth's reception? A.Ruth and her husband's former experience B.the careful preparation made by the reception C.Ruth's sister's help for Ruth and her husband D.the story told by Ruth which happened during World War II 27. This passage mainly shows the concern for ________. A.the poor people's life B.the human's good will C.wedding dress design D.the senior citizen's life 28.The passage is most probably taken from ________. A. history books B. a biography C. a newspaper D. scientific literature C Move over Psy. There's a new viral music video (" 病 毒 " 音 乐 视
频 ) on the Internet that's getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who crea ted Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.
The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say?) has recently gone viral. At 123 000 000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, " What does the f ox say?" It's a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.
Actors in the video dress up like the animals they're singing about. One of the brothers dresses up
like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. T he video's appeal is the song's simple rhythm and catchy chorus(副歌).
The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would b e so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.
On their website, they say the video was "supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minut es — and that's all." But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delig htfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.
The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they're happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along a nd be even bigger. 29. We can infer that Psy created a music video ________. A.that was named after a new virus B.that could make people relax a lot C.that was difficult for people to follow D.that featured the traditional style of Korean music 30.The new music video The Fox ________. A.has the real animals in the video B.answers the question "What does the fox say?" exactly C.features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style

Robert Mugge's two classic 85-minute documentary films on Hawaiian music and dance, newly remastered and together on one DVD. Hawaiian Rainbow examines Hawaii's traditional chants, percussion, ukulele, slack-key and steel guitar, male and female falsetto, and lush vocal harmonies. Kumu Hula: Keepers of a Culture explores Hawaiian dance traditions going back to 500 A.D., when Polynesians first arrived in the islands. Together, these two films present Hawaiian art and life as few outsiders have seen it: rich, expressive, colorful, and utterly unique.

This is an idea that's been floating around in my head for quite a while, so I figured I'd actually do something about it.
A quick draft sketch on scrap paper. I may transfer it to a journal page and add some water-colour, not sure yet.

Interesting so far..............ReplyDelete
What's he holding? Gun? Fishing rod? I'm intrigued....ReplyDelete
This is a very impressive drawing. I can only WISH I could draw, but I'm a mixed media person, who can't draw a circle or straight line. You do very, very good work. I look forward to the next installation.ReplyDelete
I'm curious to see what he's holding too ... but I see a gun rather than a fishing rod. I'm not a gun person either. Maybe it's a violin bow?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous5 November 2012 at 23:57
I thought gun too at first, but maybe a flute or walking stick?ReplyDelete
It is indeed an intriguing drawing. Curious to see how it will evolve.ReplyDelete
I kind of like it as it is.... but I will be interested to see what it becomes...xxReplyDelete

Bsurfaces is a modeling and retopology tool which combines the use of freehand strokes, bezier curves or loose edges to generate polygonal surfaces. It can be included in a traditional polygonal and subdivision modeling workflow, speeding it up substantially.
Bsurfaces is a Blender add-on, it can be used to build both open and closed shapes, extrude selections, bridge between two selections, having full control over the shape, direction, and twisting of the final surface. The output is a clean topology composed of quadrilateral faces. Triangles are also possible when building surfaces using crossing strokes.
The different options can be modified interactively, allowing to see how they affect the resulting surface in real-time.

Housebreaking Your New Puppy
Puppies are cute and cuddly but housebreaking your newly acquired best friend may pose quite a challenge. The most important thing to remember is - don't give up and be consistent!
One of the best and well known methods in teaching your puppy when and where to eliminate is by keeping it confined to a small area such as a crate or small room. If you are using a crate be sure the crate is the proper size - having a crate that is too large will only allow your pet to eliminate in one area and sleep in the other. Most dogs do not want to eliminate where they live so this approach can help speed up the process. In the beginning, do not keep anything at the bottom of the crate in case of accidents. At regular intervals, remove your puppy from the crate and take it on leash outside and lead it to the area of the yard you wish for him to 'do his business'. Begin by saying 'do you want to go outside?' or something to that affect. This will train your dog to recognize the word 'outside' and know when you say that word it's time for them to go outside and eliminate. Once outside, use words such as 'do your business' or 'time to go potty'. Praise them in a cheerful tone when they are done.
Once your puppy has eliminated outside, it has earned freedom from the crate for a short period of time. Your puppy will soon associate freedom from the crate with going outside and eliminating. Do not make the mistake of leaving your puppy unsupervised as accidents still do happen. A rule of thumb to figure out how long your puppy can remain in a confined area without going outside is to take their age in months and convert it to hours. For instance, if your puppy is 4 months old, it can probably remain in a crate for 4 hours without the need to go out. Many adult dogs can remain indoors for 12-13 hours without the need to go outside.
Establishing a routine also helps your puppy learn the rules. Whenever there is a change in activity such as waking up from a nap, after play time, or a walk, take your puppy outside. If you see your puppy circling or sniffing, this is a good indication they are looking for a place to eliminate. Try to anticipate their needs before accidents happen. If an accident does happen, say a sharp 'No' or clap your hands. Do not scare your dog, which only makes your dog fearful. You must catch them in the act to discipline them, once the deed is done if you try to discipline them they will not know what they are being punished for.
Crate training is just one way to housetrain your puppy, and is one of the more popular methods. Talk to your Trainer or Vet for other possible alternatives and do what works best for you.
What is the best dog food? http://dogdogs.xyz
Dog Food Happy Dog
How come this? Because they're abundant, have an extended shelf life, and are cheaper than necessary protein and excess fat. For instance; meat, venison, lamb, or chicken breast. What things to look for for the best dog food for your finances: Avoid products where in fact the first component is not really a meat of any sort.
Avoid products that neglect to identify the precise beef source. Proper dog nourishment contains at least thirty percent meat based proteins with least 18 percent meats based fats. Do the best you can given your financial budget.
Pet-loving, Highly Skilled Vets
Meats, on the other hands, isn't just high in proteins but it is not too difficult for canines to absorb. Also to compete with other makers, the price tag on the meals dictates what the building blocks or the principal ingredient is; which is not meat. Extra fat provide energy as well as preference and taste to foods. Specific excess fat sources include labels like beef excess fat, pork fat, fowl fat, fish essential oil, and salmon olive oil. Again, the ingredient set of both is important.
A good dog food is any product that is grain structured with high quality materials.
Royal Canin Dog Food Reviews
In the event the first component on the label is not really a meat health proteins, you should you should think about switching to a brandname with higher meats content.Dog food manufacturers know perfectly steps to make high quality, healthy dog food as evidenced by the expensive 5 legend brands, but the challenge is, it is merely too expensive for some dog owners. What things to look for for the best dog food for your financial budget: Avoid products where in fact the first element is not really a meat of any sort.
Notice the common characteristics of the phrases?
Raw diets, freezing meats diets, and homemade diets are present for a healthy reason and you will be even popular in the foreseeable future because pet owners will see the wonderful results these fresh, natural diets provide.
Wish I possibly could offer you more descriptive information, but it seriously isn't possible in this brief segment.
