Manipur Assembly Elections 2017 results were out on Saturday. The BJP and Congress were locked in a close contest for power in the state but neither of them could reach the 31 seat mark needed to get a majority in the 60-member Assembly.
Manipur Assembly Elections 2017 results were out on Saturday. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC) were locked in a close contest for power in the state but neither of them could reach the 31 seat mark needed to get a majority in the 60-member Assembly. According to yesterday's result, Congress party led in 28 constituencies while, BJP in 21, Naga People's Front won 4 seats while NPP won 4 seats. Surprisingly, Irom Sharmila's PRJA could not secure a single seat and the activist, who had fasted for 16 long years for Manipur's cause, was left isolated. Now that after the results are out, the suspense is about the next CM. BJP general secretary Ram Madhav on Saturday said the party will muster support to get numbers required to form the government in Manipur. State Congress chief TN Haokip said the party is looking to form the next government with the help of "like- minded" secular and regional parties".

5:02 pm: As BJP and Congress are aiming for the top slot in the state, it seems that Manipur is headed towards a hung assembly. While this is a big setback for the Congress, for the BJP it is anything but. In fact, this is so far the best performance BJP has ever put up in the state. After winning the general elections in 2014, the saffron party gradually started to spread its wings in the North East. The party was able to win hearts en masse, a successful example of which was Assam elections where the party was able to form the government. The party was not able to win a single seat in Manipur five year ago and this is by far one of the biggest comebacks ever.
4: 48 pm: This is how people are reacting to the close fight between Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janata Party.

10:05 am: BJP is leading from 11 out of 60 member assembly in one of the most talked about Manipur elections. Manipur has not been up for a change since more than a decade and with BJP leading, it is a huge psychological win for Bhatiya Janata Party.

9:35 am: Congress has reigned in Manipur since 15 years and with BJP leading in the early trends it is not unclear if the people of Manipur are mesmerised by Narendra Modi's charisma and will vote for his party or if they will choose Irom Sharmila's PRJA and support her in her cause. It could also be that Congress converts its vote into a being victory as predicted in the exit polls.
Here's a quick round-up for election results across the five states:
9: 30am: BJP-9; Congress – 7; Others at 4. It's a close fight between BJP and Congress. BJP seems to be giving a tough fight to long term rulling party Congress. Unfortunately, Irom Sharmila's PRJA is continuing to trail.

I don't really feel the need to weigh in on the issue of who gets to pee or poo where, but I know a few folks who're worrying about it so I thought I'd address one or two of their concerns here.
Concern No. 1) I don't want anyone who is not the same sex as I am in a public restroom with me.
I say: Whether you realize it or not, it's probably been happening for many years. So, just pretend that everything is just the way it's always been and you'll be fine.
Concern No. 2) Allowing transgendered folk to use the public restroom of their choice will result in more cases of child molestations.
I say: Stereotyping transgendered people as sexual predators is an unfounded phobia.
Concern No. 3) God created a man as a man and a woman as a woman. Anything besides that is an abomination.
I say: Judging others is the abomination.
Final thoughts….
There are so many things that are far more important to be focusing on. Like being good to each other, giving to those that are less fortunate, volunteering your time for community projects or at local nursing homes visiting with elders, writing poetry, learning to play the guitar, or teaching someone to play, the list is endless.

When girl band, TLC sang their heartfelt song "Unpretty" they were voicing the feelings of young women everywhere. Not much has changed in the past 20 years since the song's release. And now comedian Amy Schumer is doing her part to make people reevaluate what it would take to make us feel "pretty" in her brand new movie, "I Feel Pretty."
Amy plays Renee Bennett, an online service rep for a luxury make-up brand who is obsessed with beauty. What's interesting about the movie is that it isn't a makeover movie. She isn't a fattie who loses weight or an ugly who undergoes an operation. This woman starts out with perfectly curled hair, super makeup, and all the right accessories. The problem is that she doesn't feel pretty enough so she constantly second-guesses herself. She feels plain-looking and is very insecure and therefore interprets everything others do as an insult.
Then Renee gets hit on the head and wakes up believing she's beautiful. While to the audience she looks exactly the same, her newfound self-confidence makes her see herself as a real knockout. With her self-esteem flying through the roof, Renee is inspired to chase down her dream job and shamelessly pursue a handsome guy.
However, the movie doesn't just address looks. It's meant to cover people's insecurities in general. Renee's love interest Ethan (Rory Scovel) doesn't fit into his work environment and struggles with his own body image while other characters in the film address their own self-conscious flaws, such as a high-pitched voice or lack of self-worth.
No matter how beautiful or how successful everyone has to deal with their own self-esteem issues and that's what this movie wants us to rethink. As further proof of this problem, even stunning actress Olivia Wilde admitted in an interview that she didn't think she was pretty enough for comedian Jason Sudeikis when she first met him. How's that for a pretty woman feeling insecure!
What's important about the movie's message is that it wants us to understand that we can help one another gain higher self-esteem and realize that anyone can reach their full potential once they become more self-confident. It boils down to this: If you believe you can, then you will achieve your goals. People respond strongly to confidence and authenticity and instinctively like and trust others with these traits. You don't have to be the perfect 10 to get the best guys/gals or job, it all comes down to confidence.
Here are 7 practical tips for anyone who wants to take action now to feel prettier and more confident:
1. Stand tall and sit up straight. Keep your shoulders back and chest open as it makes you look taller, slimmer, and more self-assured.
2. Don't criticise yourself when you look in the mirror. Accept your looks the way a good friend would — with appreciation, acceptance, and love.
3. Find something you admire in yourself and focus on that. This will lift your mood as your focus changes from the negative to the positive.
4. Smile – it will not only lift the muscles around your eyes and lips, making you look younger but also generates a feel-good ripple effect as you get a mood boost too.
5. Take deep, slow breaths, you will look and feel more at ease in your body.
6. Don't wear clothes that are too tight. They will make you feel uncomfortable and look that way too.
7. Spend more time with people who are confident and feel good about themselves, and you'll find yourself feeling better about your looks too.

Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this turned up over and over and over again, generally because how responsive and interested a caterer is throughout your initial conversations is a sign of how they will perform during the length of their contract with you (and more on agreements later on).
A prospective caterer ought to be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first couple of conversations with them, so you must expect them to be talking and asking concerns about 20% of the time and you offering responses and describing your requirements about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Handle Your Specific Type of Event In Patterson 3204
Not every caterer is best or every kind of occasion, and many catering services themselves freely admit this.
So when interviewing your Patterson caterers (and you need to talk with a minimum of 3 catering services for any event with a reasonable budget), you have to specify about the kind of event you are planning and the type of food and/or presentation you are anticipating. Otherwise, you may wind up selecting a catering service who simply isn't really an excellent fit for the type or style of your event.
Almost every caterer has a basic menu or menus to select from, and lots of do offer some level of built-in flexibility to adapt these menus to your particular requirements by substituting particular items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout catering services will go beyond standardized menu alternatives and be willing to produce amazing fare that matches much more specific style and dietary needs.
# 3 Desire To Offer Tastings
How will you ever understand what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know exactly what the menu items you are considering will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the specific items they want for their occasion since it appears like an inconvenience for the catering service, however it is standard to ask for a sampling of exactly what you are planning to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your event (again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you choose the ideal caterer). When you are tasting the food, also take care of how it exists, as any catering service who makes the effort to appropriately display a sample will probably be more likely to make that type of effort on your event day.
Are you an event manager who has to manage catering information, spending plans and assignments?
Or are you a caterer who needs to track proposals, invoices, meal selections, stock and other customer details?
# 4 Familiarity With The Location
You might be in for a surprise if you hire a BARBEQUE take-out joint to cater an official ballroom fundraiser. Or if you choose a high-end corporate event catering service to serve a barn wedding event. Why? Since these catering services might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get back at more particular depending on restrictions of the venue itself, like in the case of museums and historical sites.
Even more standard places can likewise have restrictions that catering services need to follow, like certain setup requirements or disposal restrictions for waste food and water, so having a caterer that recognizes with a venue's rules can potentially save you lots of hassle on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The caterer's agreement need to clearly spell out precisely what food, drinks and services the caterer will be offering on the designated day( s). Furthermore, it needs to protect you from non-performance as much as it protects the catering service from non-payment/default, so you may want to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail must be consisted of in the agreement, included selected menus, number of portions and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service information (if relevant) and all rates and additional services.
No caterer in Patterson with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, but you need to make certain there is a cancellation clause in your contract just in case your caterer has to cancel.
You do not wish to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your event, so simply make certain cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup plan.
# 6 Recommendations You Can Call and Talk To
Of course you will need to check up on the caterers in Patterson you are thinking about, and it's always good to begin online and check out sites.
However, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (and even authentic); for instance, a great catering service may have had a couple of nightmare/hater clients who alter their scores, while a genuinely mediocre catering service may have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous customers of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance Coverage
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "an offered" for caterers, and you certainly don't wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or mishap that was the fault of your caterer.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Cooking Area Personnel
Remarkably, the length of time a catering business in Patterson has actually stayed in business may not be as crucial in selecting an excellent catering service as you may think.
So make certain to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV because he or she will most likely be the one most responsible for the outcome of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

It's been a hell of a year. It's reinforced something I always knew and believed in – seize the day. I look at something and more and more I think 'fuck it - I'm going to do it, be it, take it, live it.' My theory is I don't want to look back on my life and think to myself I should have done that one or dozen things that would have made me that little bit happier despite the cost be it financial or emotional.
Seize it. Own it. Be it. And to hell with anyone who tries to get in your way.

Victoria Beckham had returned to wearing heels after suffering a slipped disc, but the star was back in flats for a shopping trip with baby Harper and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.
The 37-year-old had been seen wearing flats after the birth of Harper, with labour thought to have aggravated an existing back problem.
But after saying she was âfeeling much betterâ Victoria had returned to her trademark heels, wearing a pair of skyscraper Louboutins during a shopping trip with husband David and their four children last week.
Unfortunately it seems it was a bit too soon for Victoria to be slipping on her heels again, as she was once again wearing flats on a second trip with baby Harper and sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz yesterday.
The fashion designer ensured her practical footwear didnât jeopardise her signature style, though, teaming plain black pumps with a pretty black dress and matching cardigan.
Victoria and her brood went to a shopping mall before heading to the cinema, although itâs unclear whether they splashed the cash on their trip out.
During the Beckhams' shopping trip last week, David and Victoria spent $1000 on one outfit alone for their newborn baby daughter.

How safe is it for a woman to travel alone through Zanzibar, Tanzania and Kenya? Will be there next feb ??..apart from Kenya at the moment
2 Answers
Although Tanzania is relatively safe, I think you should keep your wits about you. I've done a lot of traveling as a woman alone. In Stone Town Zanzibar I was hassled constantly on the street, mostly from people wanting to sell me something, but it can be unnerving. It's not the sort of place you should walk around alone at night. Having said that, I did meet some wonderful locals who showed me around and I had a great time. The less urban areas of Tanzania struck me as safer. The people are very friendly. Hope that helps! Keep asking questions. about 8 years agoAnswered by RoundTheBend via Ask a Nomad iPad app
Keep in mind the Muslim population there. So be respectful to their customs and cover up. almost 8 years agoAnswered by Michael Devlin via Ask a Nomad iPad app

Focal Utopia Over-Ear Open-Back Headphones
Our Take: Long-known for building some of the finest speakers in the world Focal has finally created a headphone, and simultaneously advanced the state of the art. The Utopia is their shot across the bow to all who build high fidelity headphones.
An audio tour de force, Focal has created a sonic masterpiece which does not sacrifice comfort or appearance - a rare achievement. Made in France from the finest materials and with striking industrial design, the Utopia draws the eye first, then delights the ear while displaying astonishing attention to detail from the Beryllium drivers to the supple leather earpads and case.
You will hear with deep resolution as you experience Utopia's thick, clear, and satisfying sound signature which is noticeably more engaging than other headphones. Pushed ever further by the endlessly wide soundstage it is easy to forget you aren't listening to a pair of Focal's speakers.
To get the most from the Utopia we suggest pairing them with a great Headphone Amplifier and DAC(Digital to Analog Converter). Currently we like to pair the Utopia with the SPL Phonitor X amp with the DAC192 converter installed.
First Fully Open Speaker-Like Headphones
Utopia is the only full range fully open back loudspeaker design built headphones in world. The acoustic quality of the pure Beryllium formed "M" shape dome achieves an outstanding frequency response from 5Hz to 50kHz! When listening these headphones disappear revealing your music's precision, realism, dynamics, and clarity. Comfort and durability define the headphones aesthetic.
Removing the conventional yoke in favor of integration into the headband creates great design and comfort. The pittards leather, used in Utopia's cushions, reinforces classical and elegant lines. Epic sound, great design, and comfort live together in France.
Utopia Headphones: Designed In France
The Utopia is the result of more than 35 years of innovation, development, and manufacturing of speakers and loudspeakers in France. As a world first, Utopia features the only full range and fully open back loudspeaker built within a pair of headphones, using pure Beryllium formed in the brand new "M" shape dome.
The acoustic quality of this exclusive solution allowed Focal to avoid the use of any crossover or passive filtering process to achieve a frequency response from 5Hz to 50kHz!
The listening experience is outstanding in terms of realism, natural sound reproduction, dynamics, and clarity. When listening to the Utopia, the headphones virtually disappear and the audio signal is revealed with a level of precision never achieved until Utopia.
Design is also a key point, be it in regards to the way of using the headphones, comfort, as well as the aesthetic. Another achievement with Utopia is the removal from the conventional rotation included on the yoke and its integration into the headband to ensure a total purity of the design.
The Pittards leather, used on the cushions, reinforces the character of classically elegant lines, as well as the expression of comfort and overall performances.
Beryllium "M" Shape Dome
For a tweeter the deciding factor is the MASS of the dome. The lighter the dome, the better the acceleration of the dome. Resolution is directly proportional to acceleration, rigidity and damping!
Why Beryllium?
- Beryllium is 13 times more rigid in flexure than Aluminum
- Sound velocity in Beryllium is 2,5 times faster than Aluminum
- Very good thermal conductivity
- Very hard: scratch the glass
- 7 times more rigid than Titanium or Aluminum at the same mass
- Extended Frequency response up to 40 kHz
- Undoubtedly the best stiffness to weight ratio
- High internal damping

As Discalced Carmelites, we have the opportunity to take a new name, a 'religious' name, when we enter the novitiate, the second, most foundational stage of formation. During postulancy, the first stage, we are able to think and pray about whether or not we would like to take a new name and, if so, what that name might be. This process has been done differently throughout the years. Our current Novice Master has left it mostly up to us, yet he still has to give his final approval and retains the right to say no.
My baptismal name is Alexander. I certainly appreciate the fact that my parents gave me that name and it is important to me in that respect, yet I have never felt any great connection with any of the St. Alexander's in the Church. Even from the first months of the postulancy I had the idea that I really might want to take a new name. And so the search began! I thought of many different things, such as James (my middle name), John, after St. John of the Cross, our Holy Father in Carmel, and Joseph, among others. But very early on, during the first half of postulancy, I thought of the name 'Gabriel.'
My primary reflection from the beginning was the actual meaning of the name: the strength of God. I thought that this would be such a great motto of sorts for my entire religious life. As our Lord Jesus says, we can do nothing apart from Him. Psalm 127:1 says, "If the Lord does not build the house, in vain do its builders labor." We are so dependent on God. He must be our strength. For us as consecrated religious, the faithful fulfillment of our call (or any call for that matter) is possible only by His strength and grace. Yet it is very easy to lose sight of this truth. I hope that by taking the name Gabriel I will be reminded of the importance of always clinging to God as my strength.
Leading up to the time of our retreat before the clothing with the habit and the beginning of the novitiate, I had put some thought into a few other names, but none of them stuck with me as Gabriel did. When I went on the pre-clothing retreat I had the opportunity to meet with my soon-to-be Novice Master and present to him my name request. But before I actually talked to him, I went to the chapel and was praying about the name change. Part of me was a bit hesitant, perhaps because of the minor upcoming human shock of being called by a new name. So I asked the Lord, "Why do you want me to change my name?" I didn't hear any voices or anything extraordinary, but a powerful insight came immediately to my heart.
My baptismal name, Alexander, means 'defender of mankind.' By going from 'defender of mankind' to 'the strength of God' I am making a shift, by His grace, to be ever more God-centered. As St. John the Baptist said, "He must increase, but I must decrease." (Jn 3:30) This is what the Christian life is about: to die to self, to selfishness, and to be opened out in self-giving love by the Lord's grace. Changing my name to Gabriel was a way for me to affirm that God is my strength; that He must always continue to be my strength; that He is the center of life and the center of my life; that by His strong arm He will bring me to share in His holiness when I cease relying on my own resources and trust in His power to save me.
My Novice Master immediately gave approval for the name Gabriel after I explained to Him these motivations. My name continues to be a reminder for me that God is my strength. By His mercy, I hope that I will never come to forget this most important truth.

In my lifetime I have observed that the church has moved from a position of clout in society to a culture of cost. I mean by this that what the church believed and said on issues of the day had some influence and carried some weight. Politicians, and society in general, were guided by what Christians believed.
We have seen a seismic shift in how our culture values the opinion of the church. Instead of having clout, there now seems to be a cost involved in having any biblical position on issues facing Believers.
We are, in reality, "daytime people living in a nighttime culture."
We shouldn't be surprised. Jesus said this would happen. The New Testament gives hope and assurance. The answer to the problems we face today will not be discovered by politicians or scientists. The answer is in the discovery of an empty tomb on Easter morning!

The tort reform legislation in the state of Missouri and three times attempted in the state of Illinois is, in fact, contrary to constitutional provisions, most notably, the concept of separation of powers. The Missouri law and the Illinois law that was proposed (and three times struck down by the Illinois Supreme Court on these grounds) works by limited recovery to Plaintiffs. Thus, only the most deserving of Plaintiffs is affected – – those who have convinced a jury of their peers that the healthcare provider did commit malpractice and that their damages flowing therefrom exceeded the damage caps imposed by the legislation. In Missouri, the cap is $350,000 in non-economic damages; in Illinois, a similar cap was proposed at $500,000 and $1 million, depending on the bill.
Effectively in passing this legislation, the legislatures placed an arbitrary cap on damages and effectively muted the jury. The U.S. and state constitutions involved call for a separation of powers such that the legislative branch should never be able to dictate an arbitrary result in a judicial case. However, this is exactly what the arbitrary damage caps do. They are not fit to a case; evidence is not reviewed on a case-by-case basis in any manner and the caps are absolute. The result: More and more victims of medical negligence go uncompensated and cases are riskier and more expensive than ever to file and pursue.

While researching her many books, best-selling author Sy Montgomery seems to have run across most of the animal kingdom, from tarantulas to tigers. For "The Soul of an Octopus," a finalist for the 2015 National Book Award, she visited with cephalopods in Polynesian waters and at BostonewaW`'s New England Aquarium. In her newest, "How to be a Good Creature: A Memoir in 13 Animals," Montgomery explores what her adventures with these creatures has taught her about being human. She'll discuss her book with author Vicki Constantine Croke at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 28 at Harvard Book Store.
BOOKS: What are you reading?
MONTGOMERY: "The Sun is a Compass" by Caroline Van Hemert, which comes out in March. She went on 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to Arctic Alaska without the help of any machines. She's an ornithologist who felt she was getting disconnected from the nature that she was actually studying in a laboratory. It's fantastic.
BOOKS: What was your last best read?
MONTGOMERY: I guess it was a reread, Robin Wall Kimmerer's "Braiding Sweetgrass." She's a botanist and Native American herbalist. We love nature, but we don't think that it loves us back. She says it does, which makes us care more about it. Man, at a time like this, when we're having this hot summer and all kind of ticks and horrible diseases coming north to New England, it's great to read this. It makes you stronger in fighting the threats [to the environment].
BOOKS: What other books have inspired you?
MONTGOMERY: Some of the books that inspired me as a young person are "My Life with the Chimpanzees" by Jane Goodall, "Gorillas in the Mist" by Dian Fossey, "Of Wolves and Men" by Barry Lopez, "King Solomon's Ring" by Konrad Lorenz, "The Outermost House" by Henry Beston, "Lives of a Cell" by Lewis Thomas, "The Edge of the Sea" by Rachel Carson, and "Life on a Little Known Planet" by Howard Ensign Evans, which is about the insects. He dedicated the book to the lice and silverfish that lived in his study.
BOOKS: Is there one animal you've read about the most?
MONTGOMERY: Not really because for every book I write I read a lot about that animal. I love to read about dogs and cats. One of the earliest books I remember reading as a kid that made me feel like I wanted to be an author was Farley Mowat's "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be." He was Canada's premier storyteller. I got to know him later. He talked just like he wrote. He also smoked, wore a nicotine patch, and chewed nicotine gum.
BOOKS: Do you read about anything outside of animals?
MONTGOMERY: I read a lot of my husband's stuff because I'm his first reader. He's got a new book out when I do, which is why we won't be together for our 31st anniversary. We will be on the road flogging our books Howard [Mansfield] is a historian. His book is called "The Habit of Turning the World Upside Down," about the American concept of property. Because I care so much about preserving the night sky and the forest, and history too I read a lot of the kind of stuff my husband reads.
BOOKS: What other books would your recommend in that category?
MONTGOMERY: John Hanson Mitchell's books, especially his "Ceremonial Time.'' He looks at 15,000 years in one square mile in New England. That takes you back to the Ice Age, and includes colonists, farmers, witches, and bear shamans. It's brilliant. He also wrote a novel, "The Last of the Bird People." It takes place in 1928 in the Quabbin Reservoir.
BOOKS: Do you read much fiction?
MONTGOMERY: No, and I love fiction. I have to read so much nonfiction for my work. And I get sent a lot books to blurb. When I was a young unknown writer, the blurbs that known writers gave me really helped my career. So I take this seriously, and I also get to read a lot of terrific books, like Ben Goldfarb's "Eager: The Surprising, Secret Life of Beavers and Why They Matter." I'm really honored to be an early reader of books like that.

I believe the children are our future…
… but with one in four children stunted by malnutrition, what kind of future is that?
What kind of future do we want for the children of South Africa? Surely we all want to see our kids shine – to do well at academics or sport or whatever field in which their talent lies. To escape the poverty trap and live in comfort.
But for many children, these dreams will never, can never, come true. In May this year, the South African Medical Research Council noted that according to the South Africa Demographic and Health Survey (SADHS), 27% of our children shows signs of chronic malnourishment – stunting, which affects both the physical and mental development of children. If their nutritional status does not improve during their early years, they will suffer long-term consequences.
"For physiotherapists, whose whole focus is to work towards healthy, functional bodies, this is tragic. Children who are undernourished for a period of years will have less resilient bodies – for example, their bone density is likely to be below par," says Dr Ina Diener, President of the South African Society of Physiotherapy. "This has a profound impact on their futures. A child with stunting is unlikely to be able to excel in sports, no matter what their natural talent may be, and they are very probably more vulnerable to injury than their peers."
It also means that these children – a huge group, around five million under-18s – will find it that much harder to break out of the poverty trap.
When we celebrate Youth Day on 16 June, let's ask ourselves: what can we do about youth malnourishment?
"It's a massive problem, and can seem insurmountable," says Dr Diener. "But there are things that ordinary people such as you and me can do to improve the picture."
Things like:
• Help children play
"Research has shown us that exercise can help children recover from stunting and catch up in terms of growth – we know that exercise stimulates the production of growth hormones," says Dr Diener. "In addition, weight-bearing exercise improves bone health and keeps muscle strong and flexible."
But malnourishment encourages inactivity – unless there's an incentive for physical play. Most of our children will be tempted to play if they are offered the space and equipment to do so. Simple little bits of equipment like soccer balls will get them running and jumping quickly. Jungle gyms are potent lures. Find a school serving disadvantaged children and ask what is needed to get kids running, climbing, jumping, kicking and scoring.
• Support NGOs who are helping feed children
Charity Begins With Me, for example, is a small group of volunteers who provide a meal (and some fun and games) every Sunday to 375 very poor children in the Durban Deep area (https://www.facebook.com/Charity-Begins-With-Me-844591245625986).
There are NGOs like Community Led Animal Welfare that hand out hundreds of food parcels to desperate locals, which provide basic sustenance in the form of staple foods. There are similar NGOs at work all across the country – commit to giving a little every month and change young lives.
• Fight food waste
In South Africa, we produce enough food to feed all our people. One of the reasons there is still hunger is because about a third of our food (10 million tons) is wasted. About half the waste happens during production, processing and packaging, the rest is occurring along the distribution chain, during storage and in our homes.
We should be doing far more to prevent food ending up in landfills. Find out what your local retail stores or greengrocers do with food that's reaching its sell-by date, for example, and campaign for that food to end up in children's tummies.
Support organisations like Food Forward, which redistributes surplus food to non-profits working with needy families. https://foodforwardsa.org/
• Help people get their papers in order
South Africa's social grants system is one thing we can be proud of. It has helped families eat better, and research done at the University of the Western Cape shows clearly that in by far the majority of cases, childcare grants improve the nutrition of children.
But you can't get a grant for your child if you don't have an ID or birth certificate. Many of the very poor don't get grants because they don't have the resources to get these documents in order – but you and I, as middle class people, do. Talk to your local welfare NGO and find out how you can help.
• Challenge yourself to prevent food waste
Find out what food expiration dates really mean; for example, which will enable you to stop throwing food away when it's not necessary. (This is a helpful chart: http://lifehacker.com/5987460/put-an-end-to-spoiled-wasted-food-with-this-handy-chart) Learn how to use imperfect food and leftovers effectively. (See this little video for help: http://www.popsci.com/can-you-eat-spotty-fruits-and-vegetables)
Pop 50c in a glass bottle every time you use something you would otherwise have thrown away, and donate your savings to a school-feeding project.

A chemical peel can exfoliate your skin, removing dead dry skin cells on the surface and leaving a softer, smoother complexion underneath. While many chemical peels are performed in a doctor's office, there are also home versions that use less potent chemicals. When you learn the proper way to prepare for and apply these products, you will see the best chemical peel results. However, chemical peels are more effective and safer when done by a professional – so proceed with caution.[1] X Research source
Part 1 of 4:
Selecting Your Chemical Peel
1Buy from a reputable company with good reviews. If possible, get a chemical peel kit from a spa or dermatologist's office. If you shop online, be sure to check user reviews to see what customers are saying. Only buy a chemical peel from a reputable company with excellent user reviews.[2] X Research source
- Choose a product made in an FDA-regulated lab that is certified to be 99% pure or better.[3] X Research source
- Make sure the product contains a phone number for customer service. You should be able to call and ask questions if you need to.
2Select the type of peel based on your needs. Different chemical peels are better for different needs and skin types. Choose the right peel for you:[4] X Research source
- Glycolic acid peels: improve acne, blackheads, and dark spots; can decrease the appearance of fine lines and make skin smoother; are a light peel with little or no down time, but are harsher than lactic acid
- Lactic acid peels: the best choice for hyperpigmentation, and good for first time users because it's the gentlest option; fades dark marks and smoothes skin; can be used on all skin types, and better than glycolic acid for dry skin
- TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels: stronger and more painful, will cause peeling, and requires 7-10 days of recovery; can improve shallow acne scars, stretch marks, skin tags, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles
3Choose the lowest concentration for your first time. If this is your first time using a chemical peel, use the lowest concentration of chemical possible. Gradually increase the strength as your skin gets used to it, if you want to. Choose a formula that contains this low percent of the active ingredient:[5] X Research source
- 30% lactic acid
- 30% glycolic acid
Part 2 of 4:
Preparing for Your Peel
1Stop using tretinoin-based products for a week. Stop using any products that contain tretinoin, like Retin-A or Differin, at least a week before your chemical peel. These products can irritate your skin, which could impact the outcome of your peel.[6] X Research source
- For glycolic acid and lactic acid peels, discontinue there products for 3-4 days before and after your peel.
- For TCA peels, stop using them for 5 days before and 10 days after your peel.
2Gently exfoliate your face the day before your peel. Perform a mild exfoliation treatment 24 hours prior to your treatment, using a gentle facial scrub. After washing your skin, apply a pH solution to prepare your skin for the peel.
3Do a spot test before applying your peel. Apply a dab of the chemical peel to your forearm or to the area of skin below your ear at the hairline. Leave the solution on for at least a minute before washing it off. Check the patch test after 24 hours to make sure your skin doesn't react negatively to the peel.[7] X Research source
- If your skin looks normal around the test area, proceed with your chemical peel. If your skin is irritated, red, or tender, lower the concentration of the active ingredient (glycolic, lactic or trichloroacetic acid) in the peel solution and try another test. If you get to the lowest concentration of chemicals and still see a reaction, do not do the chemical peel.
- If you have any signs of an allergic reaction, like itching or hives, do not use the chemical peel.
- Apply the peel with a Q-tip – using your fingers may make your fingers peel.
Part 3 of 4:
Using the Chemical Peel Appropriately
1Cleanse your face before applying the chemical peel solution. Use water and a soap-free cleanser to wash your face.[8] X Research source Finish with an application of a mild astringent such as witch hazel, or the prep solution that came with your chemical peel kit. Let the prep solution dry before you apply your peel.
2Protect sensitive areas with petroleum jelly. Avoid applying the peel to sensitive areas of your skin such as around your eyes, your nostrils, and the corners of your lips. Before applying your peel, dab some petroleum jelly onto these areas to help protect them from the acid.[9] X Research source
3Apply an even coat of the chemical peel solution to your skin. Use a cotton ball, cotton swab, small brush or Q-tip for the application process. Start with the less sensitive areas of skin around the forehead, chin and cheeks. Continue to apply the chemical peel to the lower eyelids, nose and neck area.
- Make sure the solution is applied evenly, or your chemical peel results will be inconsistent.
4Leave the peel on for the recommended amount of time or less. Most chemical peel kits recommend no more than 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the concentration of chemicals in the solution. Read the label before applying your peel so you know how long to wait. If your skin starts turning pink, wash the peel off.[10] X Research source
- Watch your skin for signs of irritation. While some burning is normal, if your skin begins to sting intensely, remove the peel solution right away.
- Use the spot test to determine how long to leave your peel on your face. If your spot test burns after two minutes, only apply it to your face for one minute.
5Remove the peel and apply a neutralizing solution. Many kits come with a neutralizing solution that stops the work of the chemicals so they do not continue to burn your skin. If your kit does not come with a neutralizer, that means your peel is designed to stop working as soon as it is washed off, and an additional solution is not needed.[11] X Research source
- Read the instructions in your chemical peel kit to confirm if a neutralizer is needed.
- To be safe, you can prepare your own mixture of water and baking soda to use as a neutralizer, in case the peel becomes too irritating. Mix this into a paste and apply it to your skin after you wash off your peel, if needed.
6Use a stronger peel only once you're used to it. If your peel goes well and you want to use a stronger peel in the future, you have some options. Always do a spot test before applying your full peel. Try one of these options to strengthen your peel:[12] X Research source
- Use a formula with a higher percentage of the active ingredient
- Layer your peels – apply a layer, wait 5 minutes, and apply another layer
Part 4 of 4:
Performing After-Care
1Apply moisturizer to your face right after your peel. Liberally apply some facial moisturizer to your skin after you remove your chemical peel. Use your normal face moisturizer, or get a thoroughly hydrating solution for this purpose. Re-apply this 10-20 times throughout the day – don't let your skin dry out.
- If you peel, don't pick at it! Let your skin heal naturally or you might damage it. Dab Vaseline or Aquaphor over areas that are very dry.
2Ease redness with cooling products. It's normal for your skin to be red and to sting after your peel. This may only last a few hours, or the whole day. Soothe redness by wrapping a cold wet towel over your face. You can also try aloe vera gel, a cooling mask, ice packs, or putting a cool mist humidifier in your room.[13] X Research source
3Protect your face from the sun. Your skin will be sensitive and tender after your chemical peel. Stay out of the sun until this subsides. If you do go in the sun, wear sunscreen on your face.[14] X Research source
4Wash your face gently twice a day. Rinse your face twice a day with soap-less cleanser or water, for 10-30 seconds. Rinse your face with lukewarm water by splashing water onto your face over the sink. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel. Do NOT rub your skin.
5Sleep on your back. Avoid pressing your face into anything or rubbing your face until the skin heals. Sleep on your back so you don't rub your cheek or forehead on the pillow.
6See your doctor if your skin crusts or oozes. See your doctor right away if you have signs of an infection. This can be an area of skin that looks especially crusty and tender, yellow, or that oozes fluid.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionWhich chemical peel will work for dark circles under my eyes?Community AnswerThe skin around your eyes is very sensitive and delicate, and getting chemicals in your eyes is quite dangerous - you're better off not attempting to use a chemical peel near your eyes. Try more natural remedies like getting more sleep, treating any allergies like hay fever you might have, and wearing sunscreen on your face.
QuestionWhat can I do for milia on my face?Community AnswerIf you have serious skin problems, it's best to consult a dermatologist. They can help you understand what is causing your condition, and make suggestions about treatment. You can try a very gentle chemical peel, but professional help is the safest and most effective way to get results.
QuestionDo I apply the solution between the eyebrow and the eyelid?Community AnswerIt's best not to - the skin of your eyelid is very delicate and sensitive, and you'd be risking getting the chemical solution in your eye. Stay away from sensitive areas like around your eyes, the undersides of your nostrils (the bridge of your nose is okay), and the corners of your lips.
QuestionI have a post inflammatory pigmentation scar on my upper lip which happened due to a chemical burn from hair removal cream. Can this help? Or make it worse?Community AnswerIn this case, it's best to consult a dermatologist. You may have skin that reacts negatively to chemical treatments, and using a chemical peel may make it worse. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of using a chemical peel for you.
QuestionI have two big scars on my face. Will a chemical peel diminish their appearance?Community AnswerYes, it most likely will over time. However, be careful if you are on the darker side, as this might lead to hyperpigmentation.
QuestionWhere can I get a chemical peel?Community AnswerYou can get the chemical peel at a store or from the internet.
QuestionI have oily skin and lots of scars from pimples. Which peel is good for that skin type, and what are some good products?Community AnswerIt's really weird, but I like to re-purpose old hummus. It makes a great anti-acne and anti-scar cream, and it works wonders!
QuestionIf I have very dry skin, can I apply glycolic?Community AnswerYes, but if you find that it irritates your skin or dries it out more, avoid applying it in the future.
QuestionCan I do a fruit facial immediately after a skin peeling?Community AnswerNo, you cannot. You need to let your skin breathe for a while.
QuestionIs it true you are supposed to wipe face before peel with acetone?Community AnswerPeople tend to use acetone before a peel to degrease their face. A gentler solution is to wash using a non-oily formula right beforehand. If you do try acetone, be sure to do a patch test first and prep the area the same way you plan to prep your face.
Will a chemical peel only flatten the raised wrinkles on my face?
Can I use a chemical peel for dark circles? Is it safe?
Can I use an alcohol pre-chemical peel?
- You will probably need to do multiple chemical peels before you start to see results.[15] X Research source
- TCA peels are especially harsh and will leave your skin red and sensitive for longer than lactic acid or glycolic acid peels. Use after-care protocol for as long as your skin is irritated – especially moisturizing and staying out of the sun.[16] X Research source
- Chemical peels can be done on anyone, so it doesn't matter if you have darker skin. More preparation and aftercare has to be put into it but darker skin individuals can get chemical treatments.Thanks!
- Do not leave a chemical peel on your face for too long, or skin damage and burning can result. Watch your skin and the clock to ensure you get the full benefits of your peel without any negative side effects.Thanks!
- This is a potentially dangerous procedure that you should get done professionally, if possible. Keep it away from children.Thanks!
- Chemical peels work best for people with light skin. They may cause darkening or lightening of the skin in darker-skinned individuals.Thanks!
- Do NOT get the chemical peel in your eyes.Thanks!
- Do a gentle peel like 30% glycolic acid or lactic acid every 2-3 weeks at the MOST. Only do a deeper peel like TCA once a month at the most.[17] X Research source

6 Tips for Your Computer Donation
We are fast approaching the holiday season and it may be that time of the year, again, when you need to upgrade your IT assets. It is unlikely that your old computer systems are dead but you really need new ones and have to get rid of them even if they still have some life in them. You have many options at this point but computer donation is one of the best ways to do away with your old system. There are individuals or organizations that will find your old computers very useful and donating will be a charitable and honorable thing to do. It is also environmentally smart. Thinking of donating your computer, here are some helpful tips:
Be Sure the Old Computer Can Be Reused
The first step is to be certain if your computer is in a good condition to be reused. Is the computer system still fully operational? Is it having technical issues? How long have you been using the computer? These are important questions you need to answer. When you are certain of the state of your computer, it should guide your next step.
Newer Equipment Should Be Refurbished
The condition of your computer should determine how you donate. If your computers are less than 5 years old, it may be better to send them to refurbishers instead of donating directly to your favorite charity or local school. The refurbishers repair and upgrade the computers and send to the right people that need it at little or no cost to the recipient.
Older or Broken Equipment Should Be Recycled
As has been repeatedly mentioned, computer donation decisions should be based on the condition of the computer. Older IT assets (computers above five years) or ones that are already broken are better suited for recycling. Here, the useful parts are salvaged while the parts that are less important are safely broken down and disposed.
Erase Important Information before Donating
The information contained in your computer shouldn't be there when they your home or organization. No matter who you are donating to, wipe your computer clean. There are disk-cleaning software that can be very helpful but you should get an expert to do it if you need to.
Donate To a Responsible Organizations
While donating your computer is an honorable thing to do, the organization you donate to matters a lot. Work with responsible refurbishers or recyclers to make sure that your computer ends up in the right hands.
Keep a List of What You Donate
Record keeping is always important and you surely need to keep a list of the assets you donate. When you donate to nonprofit refurbishers or recyclers, you may be eligible for tax deductions; this can be very helpful.
Computer donation is one noble and environmentally smart way to get rid of your old computers. It is also important to do it the right way and the tips here can be helpful. In case you have old computer to donate, do not hesitate to get in touch with us at Excess Logic.Computer Donation
