What You Need to Know About Eyelid Surgery

By Robert Jameson

Whenever we meet someone, whether or not it is for the first time then the first thing we do is look into their eyes. As the eyes are such attractive aspects of a persons face, it is not surprising that many people have cosmetic surgery on this area and it's especially true once a person is of mature years. No one doubts that bags under the eyes, droopy eyelids and laughter lines are not attractive but they can be treated with cosmetic eye procedures and make a person much more attractive.

It's true that most men and women get to a point when they consider cosmetic eyelid surgery. Candidates for cosmetic eyelid surgery want their appearance to better communicate their feelings of youth, energy, and vitality.

The medical term for the specialist area of eyelid re-shaping is Blepharoplasty. Once you have had corrective eye and eyelid treatment you will look more youthful and more energetic and perkier.

A droopy eyelid is not necessarily a sign of age but can age you considerably, so carrying out a surgical procedure which tightens the muscle controlling the eyelid can correct this condition. Where the eyebrow needs attention, a brow lift pulls on the loose shin and helps to remove the bags and wrinkles found below the eye making the patient look younger and healthier.

For some, eyelid surgery can provide improved vision and in a study of 51-64 year olds it was the number one procedure to be considered. A saggy upper eyelid skin, which is often a sign of age, can be caused by slackness in the upper eyelid. This is an ideal place to have cosmetic surgery as eyelid skin is very thin and it's not likely to scar. However, upper eyelid procedures usually cause bruising and swelling that starts soon after the surgery. Surgical procedures on eyelids are normally straightforward but additional work of removing excess fat and muscle layer is carried out if the eyelid is puffy and heavy.

To avoid eye or eyelid surgery, some consumers are showing a preference to collagen and other injected substances. Not all eyelid surgery is a success and in these cases to improve the definition around the eye and eyelid area, permanent makeup or Micro pigmentation treatment is used. This can also help visually correct the eye shape when they less are than ideal so the client can avoid additional expensive corrective surgery.

Other points should be considered before any eye surgery takes place, for instance does the patient heal quickly, are they prone to bad bruising and what level of care their eyelids will receive after the operation.

Steps Towards Having A Successful Personal Training

By Gregory Moore

The job of personal trainers is to provide the help for attaining fitness goals. When you first meet with a personal trainer, you probably undergo an evaluation of your current fitness level as well as complete a written questionnaire. This questionnaire is a good screening tool to assess your current level of activity, past experience with exercise, and your current measures of success. If a client does not pass the preliminary assessment, they must be evaluated by a physician prior to starting a fitness program.

After this, you will be asked to perform certain movements that will indicate your current fitness level. In designing an exercise plan, your trainer will use the information you provide about goals and desired timeline to best meet your needs. Initially, your body height and weight along with measurements that indicate body composition are performed, so that progress can be assessed.

Keeping a detailed food diary throughout the program is necessary so the trainer can analyse your diet. Because trainers have expertise in nutrition and diet, you will learn from them if your diet is not healthy, and they can provide information on healthy choices for you.

You should be certain that any fitness trainer you employ is both certified and covered by insurance. The ideal method for doing this is asking them to give you the number and expiration date for their fitness association membership, and if it is current they probably are insured and have the standard First Aid Level 2 certification. If you want to verify their credentials then you can contact the fitness association they are registered with.

With luck, this article has been of help to you, and meanwhile I hope you will be able to find the ideal personal trainer to assist you.

The Rise of Conscious Capitalism

By Liz Thompson

Patricia Aburdene is one of the world's leading social forecasters. For 25 years, she has helped thousands of organizations and millions of people make the most of social change and transformation.

Patricia is the co-author of the publishing phenomenon, Megatrends 2000, and she has a new book out called Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism. The book is a guide to the economic, spiritual and social trends that will shaping free enterprise, as well as how we live, work and invest.

Patricia describes 'conscious capitalism' as a holistic vision of business in which consumers, investors, suppliers, managers, and visionary CEOs all play a role. More than a megatrend, it's also a self-organizing movement, with everyone trying to restore ethics, accountability and soulfulness.

"Leading from the Middle" is a chapter from her latest book, and it reminds us to look past our narrow definition of authority to include 'informal authority', as well as a one that is more spiritual in nature.

Some would argue that this 'moral authority' is as valuable as more traditional kinds of authority. The way you lead from the middle is by living and breathing your gifts when you're on the job. That is absolutely a brand of leadership; there's no question about it. You're influencing people.

We as consumers have extraordinary power over corporations that we disagree with or complain about. We take our values shopping with us. How are we using our vote as consumers? We vote at the cash register every day for the products we like and the products that we think demonstrate our values. We vote against those we don't think mirror our values.

Values-driven investors are those who want to earn a return, but they want to do it by bringing their values to the table, as well. This movement toward socially responsible investing has been going on in the US since the 1970s.

At present still a minority culture, Patricia believes that in the next five years conscious capitalism will be mainstream. As we learn the power of prosperity on our spiritual paths and extend this into the marketplace, we'll be aligning our values with our products and investments.

Fading Acne Scars: Doctors' Best Kept Secrets that You Can Use

By Rebecca Hall

Most everyone experiences acne at some point in their lives. Some experience it at an early age, and others experience it later in life. Many people who were afflicted with acne during their younger years are as adults. The good news is that no one has to live with that kind of acne scarring, because it is possible to fade away the acne scars that are there.

Most doctors will try to convince you that you need to have expensive surgical treatments or prescription drugs to remove the look of the acne scars. What they probably will not let you know is that you can fade some acne scars fade away with home remedies that are cheap and easy to use.

One of the most commonly used treatments is vitamin E. Vitamin E is very effective for fading acne scars and there are many places that carry vitamin E oil that can be applied to the face or other scarred areas. When you choose the oil that you want to use be sure to choose one that is darker in color, that indicates that it is pure.

To help get the best when using vitamin E oil, wash your face and exfoliate the scarred areas and then apply the oil to those areas. The first treatment of Vitamin E oil should provide results, but you should continue to use the oil to help the scars disappear.

Other homemade remedies are also used to treat acne scars. Some people have said using tomatoes, juice from a papaya, cocoa butter, and other products have been helpful in reducing the acne scars. It may take you a few tries, before you find the product that works best for your skin.

Keep in mind that most home remedies won't work especially well on very deep and dark acne scars. People who have severe scarring from acne will most likely have to undergo some variety of surgical procedure in order to get rid of their acne problem for good.

Understanding Your Problamatic Relationship-Can put It Aside

By Thomas Bailey Aldrich

You are in a relationship and you are finding things quite confusing. You could be feeling like the relationship has finished, or that you are not being truthful with your self. You are just pretending to be cheerful, or maybe you are terrified over what the next step will be. These indications of a uneasy relationship can plague the person and put tension on a doubtless damaged relationship. One of the commoner feelings is guilt over lying and hiding ones true feelings over the relationship and its standing. There was a great amount of love in the relationship, but now there are a lot of mixed feelings and factors that are contributing to the mixed feelings that one is feeling.

When you have begun to think about your uneasy relationship, it is important to brainstorm what sort of things that you would like and what you don't need in your relationship. The latter can include not needing to be cheated on, abused, and ignored and so on. When it comes to items that you want to have occur, these can include wanting to grow and develop emotionally. One can desire for excitement and love in the relationship. Occasionally one wants intellectual and non secular kick, including talks and attending outside conferences and events.

Once you've got a list of your wants and needs, you need to go thru them and identify those which you really desire and do not desire. You need to figure out what sort of situation you are in and whether or not it will continue on its track. Observe your other half and try and work out if they are capable of growth and doing their part to help turn your troubled relationship around. They need to be able to make a contribution to the fix of the relationship and move it forward.

If things are truly bad, then you need to step back and see things with a clear head. This could simply involve separating temporarily, so you and your partner can make some time alone to appraise the situation without distraction. Without having to live together and deal with all of being together, both of being together, both of you will have a clearer head which will supply the foundation for a real analysis of the situation.

What you can find is that the relationship is such that you two cannot be together and that the need to finish the relationship. Some relationships are not meant to be, and that should not discourage you. There will be somebody for you. If you do find that you and your significant other are capable of making things work in your uneasy relationship, then make sure that you and your other half are open and communicative. Without communication, it will be more difficult.

A uneasy relationship does not necessarily mean that the end is near. What it means is that you and your partner need to take the steps to work things out and move the relationship forward, whether that is towards its end or continuation. .

Job Interview Coaching - A Home Based Business For Human Resources Professionals

By Carole Martin, The Interview Coach

You name it - Blackberry, Skype Connection, Cell Phone, iPhone these are the tools of this trade.

You are probably already experiencing it in your business. You reach out to someone in a far away country and work with a client via a Blackberry or an iPhone or a cell phone? Believe me, this is the way of the future, and it is already here!

Here is the scenario:

My phone rings and I answer to find that the call is from a man who says, Hello, I'm calling from Israel. You can imagine, I'm sitting in California, USA and I am a bit shocked by this announcement. Why would someone from Israel be calling me? He is calling to get interview coaching for an interview that will take place in Israel " in Hebrew. .

My immediate response is, I can't help you, I don't know anything about Israel and interviewing there. But this man is determined and he says that he will also be interviewing in the US. He wants feedback on his techniques and answers and has found my website on the internet.

Well, if he is willing so am I. So, the interview coaching progresses over a few weeks and a few calls, over the BlackBerry and email and even my cell phone when I am out of town visiting in the east coast. Our final session is to coach him through his salary negotiation on an offer he has received after his successful interviews.

The wonderful ending to this story is that the man got the job in a very competitive situation at one of the most prestigious companies in Israel - and was able to negotiate a higher salary offer after our work together.

He tells me that I am a great interview coach! He is thrilled and thinks that our work together was the reason for his success.

This is what I call exciting work. What a wonderful, crazy world we live in. In a business where the sky's the limit!

The business of coaching is growing like crazy. In fact, it is quietly taking over the $427 Billion home-business sector by storm. The average income generated by home office households is $63,000 a year.

How do you compare with those figures? Well, I have learned some secrets of success after being in the interview coaching business for over ten years.

It seems one of the secrets to success in a coaching business is to find the right niche for you. It's not always easy to find that niche, "the one that will satisfy your needs" a niche where you can make a difference - a niche where you can make some serious money.

I found my niche after some trial and error and that niche is Job Interview Coaching. This is my means of connecting with people all over the United States and way beyond. This is my method of being able to reach out and help people, that's what my business is all about.

When life offered an me an opportunity, I took it. I was one of those people who wasn't satisfied with my job as an HR Manager, so I went back to school to earn my Masters degree in Career Development. I had a very specific niche in mind and that was to help women in transition to re-enter the workplace. That was where I was in my own life and thought I could help these women because I had walked in their shoes.

Well, niches have a way of bending to the right and then to the left - and today I find myself coaching people from all walks of life.

A single phone call I received one day placed me as the interview expert for Monster.com. I have now been writing and have been quoted by Monster.com for the past eight years. This started the ball rolling.

Another phone call came from someone who wanted to be an FBI agent. He asked me if I knew anything about the FBI interview process. My answer was, No. But, a part of interview coaching is understanding Behavioral Interviewing, which happens to be the basis for the FBI interview. He hired me to help him, and over the past six years I have become the Guru of the FBI interview.

These areas are very far from my original goal of helping women in transition.

My clients are not only people in job search, they are from every field imaginable including entrepreneurs who want to sell their businesses to investors/or sponsors, authors who want to sell their books to agents, someone who wanted to be on a major quiz program and couldn't get through the initial interview, and, even a beauty queen who needed answers to difficult questions.

There's something new every day. Can you imagine how interesting and exciting this work is? It's so rewarding, it doesn't even feel like work.

You might think that just anyone could hang out a sign or create a website and advertise themselves as an Interview Coach. In reality they can do that, but that doesn't mean that they have what it takes to do a good job or that they will be able to reap the benefits for their clients or themselves. There are some factors that will determine what makes a really good interview coach.

I've put together a little quiz for you to take to determine if this might be a niche for you to explore further.

__ Are you making the revenue that you had hoped for?

The amount of money you make through interview coaching will be determined by the amount of time and effort you put into marketing - getting the word out that this is your niche - or that you've added a niche. The more services offered means more money for you.

__ Are you looking for added value to give your clients?

Are you already a career business person, or are you a resume writer, or even a career counselor? The more credibility you have through your already great results, the better the referrals, and that will give you added clients and more income.

__ Are you up to a new challenge of learning a new skill set?

Cutting edge techniques and methods will only enhance your credibility and give you the savvy to present yourself as an expert in new areas that you may not now offer or feel that you are really qualified to delve into.

__ Are you a good problem solver, able to diagnosis the problem?

The first thing you want to find out from any interview coaching client is Tell me what's been happening in your job search and interviews? Then the listening and problem solving begins. If you like diagnosing problems and getting to the root of whats going on with a person, this is right up your alley.

__ Are you ready to give straight-forward, sometimes difficult feedback?

Good communication skills and practice are the key to your success. The clients that call you for interview coaching want to find out what they can do to be the best contender, or what they have been doing wrong. Its up to you to give them the real scoop. Sometimes it is difficult to tell a client something about how they are coming across or how their appearance could be keeping them from getting those offers.

__ Are you willing to spend time marketing this new service?

If you are starting a new line or business then you will have to use some resources to get your business going. If you have an established practice, this will be an add-on to your marketing efforts.

__ Are you patient with people from other cultures?

Often people who contact you for services will have English as a second language. It will be your decision if you can work with people who require a bit more patience and coaching on how to use the language and how they can better be understood.

__ Are you willing to be the clients rock when they get rejected?

When someone has had a difficult time in the workplace, it will be part of your job to let them know that life goes on "and that they can't give up." Sometimes this will be in the form of just plain listening. And sometimes you will be asked for advice "even outside the interview arena" encouragement about life lessons.

__ Are you ready to make a greater difference in peoples lives?

You probably have experienced how good it feels when you actually make a difference and you get those calls or emails letting you know that you have helped someone over a speed bump or given them the confidence they needed to take a risk.

Did you check seven or more of the ten skills required? If you did, I encourage you to explore interview coaching so that you can continue "to make a difference in peoples lives."

What is life after all if it isn't about making a difference? You can make a difference in your own life as well as other peoples' lives. The rewards are when a young college student sends you an email that says she just got the job. Or a man who has been on 20 interviews with no offers writes that he finally received a job offer, and he is calling to thank you for "making a difference in his life." Those successes are the emails and the calls that make my day.

Being an interview coach offers variety, new challenges and the chance to play many different roles during a single day. These people need help, they need encouragement, they need caring for. The roles may vary with each client. The clients are all different; people in transition, or up for an internal promotion, or people changing fields, or even young people entering the work force. And, don't forget the walking wounded who have been laid off, or fired, or just quit when they couldn't take it any longer. And they just keep on coming and keep my phone ringing.

You can play a role in peoples lives, in their job satisfaction, and in their successes. It can be a very rewarding experience for you that happens over, and over, and over, extending all over the world. You can make a difference as an Interview Coach.

How to Write Resumes That Get Results

By Robert Loblaw

The job market is tight. If you want to compete effectively and find the job of your dream, you need to have the right tools. Without those tools you won't even get your foot in the door and a resume is the number one tool that you need to get interviews. Not just any resume, though; you need a winning resume. Winning resumes have certain key elements that get you noticed and the Employment Guide to Resume Writing offers these recommendations:

Watch your P's and Q's. Winning resumes are not full of typographical errors and incorrect grammar. Mind your spelling, punctuation and grammar when writing your resume. Spell Check is your friend! Once you have completed the final draft of your resume, reread it carefully, correcting any errors. If you can, get someone else to review it as well. Even one misspelled word, misplaced comma or improperly structured sentence can send your resume to the bottom of the pile - or worse. Take the time to rid it of errors.

Open with something compelling. When the hiring manager first picks up your resume, you have about thirty seconds to grab his or her attention and make a good impression. This means that the first section of your resume, usually the objective or summary, must be compelling. Be creative! You want to pique the interest of the hiring manager, enticing them to read more.

Make sure that the resume that you are writing is one that is suited to the job. The Employment Guide to Resume Writing is something that tells you to make sure that you are focusing on what each job needs and what each company is looking for. Remember that you should always look into how you can show them that you are perfect for the position and how your experience makes you a perfect fit.

Match the resume type to the appropriate situation. There are several types of resumes and the Employment Guide to Resume Writing says that there are certain types of resumes for different employment situations. Some jobs call for a chronological resume, the most popular type. Other jobs may be better suited for a functional resume while a combination of the types may be more appropriate for other jobs.

Make it clear and concise. Winning resumes are not wordy, they are concise and to the point. They clearly describe in the most efficient, effective way how you are best suited for the job. Long, expansive descriptions will lose your reader, causing your resume to be tossed aside or, worse, tossed into the trash. Keep it direct and brief. Bullet points are a good way to keep the focus and stick to the point.

Don't forget your references. The Employment Guide to Resume Writing emphasizes the need for good references. Make sure that you ask your references before you use them. You don't want them to be surprised when a prospective employer calls them about you. That surprise is likely to come through and it won't look good. Include three or four references who are a mixture of professional and personal. You may add an academic reference or two if necessary.

Make sure that you give your resume a thorough once over before you send it in. Are all the headings, bullets and information consistent and correct? Have you spell checked and read it over once? Make sure that you are using a printer that will give you quality text and that your resume looks as professional as you want to be seen.

Products that aim at correcting the symptom of the problem such as chin straps or mouth pieces do nothing to get to the underlying cause, thus, the snoring will return as soon as the device is not worn.

Other natural methods may work to some extent, such as changing position in bed to your side instead of sleeping on your back, yoga, abstaining from alcohol etc. While some of these methods may be helpful, they too will only work as long as you do them.

The most common causes of snoring are all related to the tissue in and around the mouth and throat from narrow nasal passages, stuffy nose, weak muscles in the throat, tense muscles in the jaw, soft palate being weak and falling into throat and the tongue being weak falling backwards and partially blocking the airways.

What to do about these causes? A few minutes per day doing easy and very specific exercises can tone and firm your tissues and before you know it, you and those sleeping within earshot of you will enjoy peaceful snore free nights.

The Best Bodybuilding Workouts For Yos Triceps

By Ricardo d Argence

To get larger arms as quickly as possible, it is important to focus on the basics. By that I mean you will get the best outcome on your investment with the lifts. Some 90% of the people in the gym do non-productive movements which are time wasters. Don't do it.

Now let us discuss the 3 muscles connecting your elbow and shoulder, that however work opposite the forearm and biceps, called your triceps. Here I will describe how to train your triceps.

If you're just starting an exercising plan, dips are the easiest and best to try. They will manipulate your chest and shoulders, but mostly they will work your triceps. In order to place the stress on your triceps there are a few tips you need to know. Firstly, do dips between two rods alongside each other. When you begin, your body should be in a position as if you were standing and holding two bars in your hands.

You need to hold the bars tightly so you won't slip. To start, you have to squat with your arms against your sides and your torso as erect as you can hold it. Leaning forward can concentrate stress on your shoulder and chest muscles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you should save it for when you're exercising your chest muscles.

Good advice. Don't lock out at the top. To allow the triceps muscles to relax, completely straighten and lock your arms. If you are unable to perform dips using your body weight, try an assisted dip apparatus that utilizes counter-balanced weights to counter your own weight. If your gym doesn't have one, get a spotter to push up on your feet to help you out. Doing three to ten repetitions to start with should be your aim.

A close-grip bench press is similar to dips, as it involves a compound movement. The movement is similar to regular bench press. Make sure you grip the bar with your hands around 8 to 12 inches apart. Grip where you feel comfortable, paying close attention to how your wrists feel. To alleviate stress on your wrists, start your grip with a 12 inch spacing and work your way closer as you get more comfortable.

As you lower the bar to your chest, be sure to keep your elbows close to your sides. The bar should end up just below your nipples. Full extension of the arms is not necessary. A good time to stop is just short of the full lockout. If you want to bulk up your triceps, this is a fantastic way to do it.

This program is only a portion of a fitness plan, you can see on my website for more information.

Chakra Meditation And The Power Of Chakra Sound

By Nisal Karuiyaratna

In Sanskrit, chakra means a spinning wheel or vortex. There is another meaning to chakra, which indicates the seven chakras of the human body that relate to the seven gland systems of the body. These chakras are centers of spinning energy with the first one on the base of the spine and the seventh one at the crown.

Everything moving causes vibrations, and since chakras are centers of spinning energy, there is vibration here. This vibration brings about sound, which is the reason why different body parts vibrate with different frequencies at the different chakras.

The seven chakras have seven chakra sounds associated with it. In addition to sound, colors also vibrate at a specific frequency and each chakra has a color associated with it. It is the combined effort of chakra sound and color that helps restore balance in the chakras, which in turn restores health.

It is easy to turn to sound healing, with the help of chakra sounds. You only need your voice to feel better, calmer and clearer in a matter of minutes. These chakra sounds should be said softly and gently for not longer than five minutes.

1. You start with an UH sound, which is the deepest sound you can make. You have to do this with your eyes closed and attention focused on the base chakra, found at the spine base. You have to be aware of the sound resonance in the body; not from your throat, but from where the chakra is. You can complement visualization of this chakra sound with red color. This chakra sound has to be made for a minute or two but not more than five minutes.

2. The second chakra sound comes from the second chakra found about three inches below the naval. The chant for this chakra sound is OOO which can be complimented with the color orange. Eyes have to be closed for one to two minutes when chanting to realize the balancing of this chakra with other chakras.

3. OH is the chakra sound from the third chakra, the navel chakra. This chakra is located in the naval area and its complimenting color is the color yellow. This chakra sound starts softly and gently but is of a higher tone than the previous sound.

4. AH is the sound people cry out when in love, and is also the chakra sound for the heart chakra. This chakra is located in the middle of the chest, and is related to love. It is associated with the color green and has to be started with a soft and gentle sound that has a higher pitch than the previous chakra sound.

5. The chakra sound for the throat chakra is EYE which has blue as its complimenting color. Like other chakra sounds, this chakra sound too has to be of a higher pitch than previous sounds

6. AYE is the chakra sound for the third chakra found a bit higher than the two eyes, and in the forehead. The chakra sound is associated with indigo and has to be started with a soft and gentle tone, but should be of a higher pitch than previous sounds.

7. The crown chakra situated at the top of the head is where you chant the highest sound possible, EEE. This chakra sound is complemented with the color purple that starts with the highest sound you can make, EEE. Like other chakra sounds, this chakra sound also starts softly and gently.

All the chakra sounds have to be said with eyes closed and attention focused on the respective chakras. With the focus on the chakra, the chakra sound starts projecting from the chakra and with the resonance of the sound chakras, you find each chakra balancing and aligning with the other chakras.

It is better if you relax or meditate after this exercise as you may feel light headed. This should be done so that you can realize the benefits of the chakra sounds better.

Awaken From Your Sleep

By Carrie Spry

One day I woke up from my unconscious living and realized I had no control over my life. It was on autopilot. I was making decisions, but I was doing it unconsciously. I didnt even realize how I got where I was. My life feels like a dream. The only thing that does feel real to me is right here in this moment. I wish I had actually enjoyed the past years of my life. Im not saying I didnt have fun, Im saying I simply lived unconsciously.

I came to a realization. If I really wanted to be happy, I would have to begin to make conscious decisions. Before, there were mostly pre-conditioned answers that would just spout out of my mouth, often without a thought. When I need to make a decision, I would like to consciously think about it, be there in the moment, and base my decisions on that.

If you feel how I felt, its time for you to wake up and take control of your life. There is a world wide awakening right now. We are on the cusp of a "New Earth" so to speak. Have you read Eckhart Tolle's Book "A New Earth"? Or joined on Oprah's webcasts about it? If not, you don't know what you are missing. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the truth is, I feel like I have know the information all along, but that is has just come to my attention.

If you want positive change to occur in your life, please learn to live consciously in everyday life. Watch the movie the secret, keep an open mind. My life has transformed over the past few years. I just simply can't believe what I have been missing. Maybe I just wasn't ready. I am not trying to convince you of anything. I just want you to open your eyes and see what you can see.

Our whole world is shifting. We no longer look to outside influences to make our decisions for us. We are more and more independant everyday. We are searching for our own truth. Thankfully, we will not be killed because of it. We are free to believe what we want to believe. Many of us are not comfortable with change, luckily, these people are quickly becoming a minority. It's time to wake up and make our own decisions. It's time to find our own truths.

A Professional Nurse Decides to Start Meditating, Go on a Diet, Quit Smoking, and Stop Drinking

By Denny Mitchell

For the past twenty-nine years Vicky has been employed as a nurse at a small rural hospital. As a registered nurse, she surely knew what to tell her patients regarding their health difficulties and concerns but in her off-duty life away from her job, then again, she infrequently practiced what she instructed others to do.

What were some of Vicky's deficiencies in her life away from work? She commonly drank far more than she could handle; she ate mostly fast foods that contained extremely high levels of sugar, salt, fat, and cholesterol; she let her high-stress job affect her in an unhealthy manner; she avoided almost any and all kinds of physical exercise; she was about fifteen pounds heavier than she had ever been in her life; and she recently started to smoke just about two packs of cigarettes everyday.

Vicky Gets Into A Traffic Accident, Fails A Breathalyzer Test, and Goes to The Local Jail

One Thursday afternoon on her way to the hospital to start her shift, Vicky was driving too close to the truck in front of her. Sadly, when the truck driver slammed on his or her brakes, Vicky crashed into the back of the truck. Since her speech was garbled when she talked and due to the fact that the traffic accident was her fault, the arresting officer administered a breathalyzer test. As per standard law enforcement policy, when a person is involved in a motor vehicle accident and tests positive for a breathalyzer test, the person has to spend at least twelve hours in the community jail. As much as Vicky hated this, due to the fact that she failed her alcohol test, she had to spend the entire afternoon and evening in jail.

Vicky is Ashamed Of Her Automobile Accident

To no ones surprise, Vicky felt extremely ashamed of her motor vehicle accident. What made matters even worse, however, was the disgrace she experienced due to the fact that the traffic accident was her fault. What really broke the camels back, on the other hand, was the embarrassment she felt because she was driving after she had been drinking.

As Vicky calmed her nerves and thought about her circumstance, however, she knew that things actually could have been much worse because at the hospital, when a urine, saliva, or breath alcohol test is given and failed, the person has to go to compulsory alcohol therapy and counseling and automatically gets placed on non-duty status without pay. This was for all intents and purposes one of the realities at the hospital and there was not much that the employees could do to change this policy.

Vicky's Embarrassment About Her Motor Vehicle Accident Forces Her To Go Over Her Life and Make Some Significant and Beneficial Modifications

Fortunately, the disgrace Vicky felt about her traffic accident motivated her to reexamine her life and make some significant and positive alterations. First, she was going to abstain from drinking in an abusive and irresponsible manner. Second, she was going to take a cooking class so she could learn how to prepare healthier and better tasting meals. Third, she was going to stop smoking. Fourth, she was going to go on a strict weight-loss diet. Fifth, she was going to begin exercising. And sixth, she was going to enroll in a meditation class to address her increased stress.

As distressed as Vicky was about her traffic accident, she used this painful experience as a springboard for healthy change. Not only this but she used her discomforting experience as a source of self-discovery that zeroed in on the fact that she been neglecting her own health while preaching to other individuals how to live in a more effective and healthy manner.

And finally, Vicky came to terms with the false pretenses in her private life and made up her mind that she would live her life as a positive source of hope and encouragement for other people.

Bodybuilding Tips, Avoid Alcohol If You Want To Gain Muscle

By Ricardo d Argence

Alcohol really affects the muscle growth process and in the next few lines I am going to tell you why.

Another thing that will frustrate your efforts to build muscle is consuming too much alcohol. People underestimate the affects of alcohol and the way this drug changes their lives.

It negatively affects protein synthesis. Protein is made by the joining of amino acids to form complete proteins. The problem becomes obvious when you realize that your muscles, which are composed of mostly protein, work less when alcohol is consumed in large amounts.

It lowers testosterone levels and increases estrogen. Testosterone is the most important muscle-building hormone in your body. One of the limiting factors that determines how much muscle a person can gain is their level of free-flowing testosterone. If you are serious about building muscle and burning fat, you want all the free testosterone levels you can get.

Alcohol causes dehydration. The body can quickly become dehydrated because the kidneys have to use so much water to be able to process the alcohol. A minimal amount of dehydration can be critical to body builders due to the fact that water is crucial to the muscle-building process. Our body's muscles are made up of 70% water.

The A and B vitamin groups, as well as calcium, phosphorous, and zinc, are drained rapidly when alcohol is consumed. Vitamins and mineral keep little process in body function.

Alcohol can be surprisingly fattening because of the 7 empty calories per gram. One key process in burning fat, the Kreb's Cycle, is influenced negatively by alcohol consumption.

Alcohol consumption affects the quality of your sleep, more so when you consume the alcohol during the hours you normally sleep. Obviously, a good night's sleep each night is crucial to the development of muscle mass. You must also get in enough rest and recovery or your efforts will be thwarted.

While it is vital to enjoy things in life, excesses may result in trouble. For attaining substantial results in muscle-building, one's alcohol consumption must be checked and if need be, brought down moderate levels, and this is imperative if you are serious in your intentions.

You can still go out for a good time occasionally, but make sure to cut back on the drinking and eat properly to lessen its effects.

Why Should I Use Metal Hangers?

By Kyle Langer

Many people who understand that there is a difference in hangers begin to wonder when each should be used. Those people may be surprised by the answer. It is really a preference of each person. However the kind of clothes that you are hanging may play a part in some cases.

If you need to save space, then metal hangers are a good choice for you. Another reason someone might choose metal hangers is for the modern look it brings into their home. The sleek, polished metal is an attractive hanger while being very functional in saving space. To be clear, when we speak of metal hangers we are not talking about cheap ones from the drycleaners.

Some prefer wooden hangers over metal ones. These people generally like the wood trim, wood cabinets, wood floors and wood furniture in their home as well. One thing to be aware of with wooden hangers is that they often will also have a wood smell to them. If you do not like that smell, then you should not use wood hangers to hang your clothes.

Another preferable use for metal hangers is in public places. The reason for this is because they can be set up on a theft preventing rod that helps to prevent them from walking out of the store. They also are much easier to maintain in terms of cleanliness and sanitizing.

Metal hangers, besides being polished, come in a variety of different shapes. Some of the shapes are designed for functionality while others are designed for the sole purpose of the modern look. No matter the case, sleek metal hangers will be sure to modernize your closet

Polished metal hangers are nice because, unlike the cheap dry cleaner hangers, they can be used to safely hang any type of clothing made out of any type of fabric. This was a concern with using older metal hangers. It is no longer a concern for those who prefer metal hangers.

Hangers are a part of a daily routine for most of us. The most common mistake people make when it comes to hangers is that they use the cheapest hanger believing that it is saving them money. However, these people will end up spending more money on replacing their clothes than if they just purchased the right hangers to begin with.

People spend a lot of money on clothes. While people will by insurance and other protective devices for their phones and other things that deem as an investment worth protecting, most have not considered how to protect their investment in clothing. Using the right kind of hangers, including metal hangers, is the best way that people can protect their clothes long term.

To impress a girl, you do not have to talk endlessly about you. Rather, learn to talk and listen at the same time. You have to hear her side you know. Be a listener as well and be a good one.

Who Pays What?

It is an unspoken rule that guys should pay the date. But in today's time, more and more women have become independent and want to take liability on their share of the date. If you date such woman, you may argue with her about it. If she agrees to let you pay, then do so. But if not, at least shoulder half of the whole bill.

Kissing her goodnight is another issue specifically on the first date. Take note that there are women who do not like to be kissed after the date, while there are also those who feel disappointed when the guy does not.

To be certain, be attentive to her actions. You may also wait and see if she will do anything about it.

Do not forget to ask her number if you wish to go out with her again. But if not, then do not promise anything so she will not be living with false hopes. Be a gentleman though and thank her for the time she spent with you. On the other hand, if you aspire to see her again, see to it that she knows.

Dating is an exciting affair. It leads to several possibilities with no certainties. But if you do it right, with the help of these dating tips, you are most likely to end up with a happy and gratifying dating experience.

A Couple Assesses Their Irresponsible and Abusive Drinking and Their Aspirations and Goals

By Denny Mitchell

Bruce and Sherry have been in a dating relationship for seven years. They met while taking the same art appreciation class at a large state school located in central Minnesota. While they were primarily classmates their first two years at school, during their junior year they started dating one another.

Since Bruce and Sherry came from old school, deeply religious families, neither one of them drank very much beyond the trial phase like they did while they were in high school. The more they dated, nevertheless, the more they began developing their social life outside of the classroom by regularly attending various activities such as soccer pep rallies, impromptu keg parties, hanging out with their friends at happy hour, and attending sorority and fraternity parties. Because drinking was so common during or after these activities, Sherry and Bruce started to drink increasingly more as their dating relationship progressed.

After they graduated with their Bachelor of Science degree, Bruce and Sherry made up their minds that they wanted to continue their relationship and so they moved to a relatively large city that was located around fifty miles from their college. Not long after they moved into an apartment with one another, they found employment in the same large company.

After working at their jobs for about four or five months, Sherry and Bruce started to develop friendships with a few other couples. Not unlike their college days, moreover, most of the activities and events they attended with their friends somehow, someway centered around drinking. As a result, the more they associated with their friends the more they engaged in hazardous and irresponsible drinking.

Something started to change in their relationship, however, after Sherry and Bruce had been living in the same apartment about a year. As improbable has it sounds, even though they continued to drink with their friends, their relationship grew. Now, instead of thinking about the next drinking event they would attend, however, they began discussing getting married, having children, and building a new house. In short, Sherry and Bruce began thinking about becoming more responsible adults who would be able to make more positive contributions to society.

With most major changes in a persons life there is often something that severs as a catalyst for the change. For Bruce and Sherry, the thought of getting married, moving into a house, and having children was this catalyst. Not only this, but for the first time in their relationship, they began questioning their drinking behavior and wondering if their excessive drinking could eventually affect their health in a negative way.

As Sherry and Bruce began to question their party mentality and their drinking behavior, quite a few additional questions quickly materialized. As an illustration, how would they be able to face their parents and tell them about their long-term aspirations, hopes, and dreams while they still drank in an immature and careless manner as they had done while they were in college? How responsible would they be if they had children and continued to drink in a hazardous manner? What would their irresponsible drinking do to their relationship? How would their abusive drinking affect their mental health? Would their careless and excessive drinking negatively affect their ability to have children? And finally, how would they be able to continue spending most of their money on drinking if they were to begin saving for a new house?

Looking at things a little differently, although Sherry and Bruce never experienced alcohol withdrawal symptoms, got arrested for driving under the influence, or suffered from an alcohol overdose, they understood the fact that their hazardous and abusive drinking was becoming a serious problem that they could not afford to disregard any longer.

The more that Sherry and Bruce reflected on their drinking and their party mentality, the more they arrived at the same conclusion: if they were to achieve their dreams, hopes, and aspirations, they would have to give up their irresponsible drinking.

Once Bruce and Sherry arrived at their short term game plan, they had a meeting with their friends and let them know that they had determined that they were gong to stop their hazardous drinking and their partying because they wanted to move into a house, get married, and start having children. To their wonder, their friends articulated a similar attitude because they had also concluded that their excessive drinking and partying was negatively affecting the realization of their future plans and goals.

After their heart-to-heart discussion with their friends about their future plans, hopes, and aspirations, Bruce and Sherry were pleased to discover that they started to have even more meaningful relationships with all of their friends. The major reason for this was the fact that all of them now possessed a similar attitude concerning their party lifestyle and how their excessive and careless drinking was adversely affecting their short and long-term goals, aspirations, and plans.

Gourmet Mushroom Hericium erinaceus Supports Nerve Regeneration

By Dr. Markho Rafael

Out of the kitchen, into the pharmacy, the gourmet mushroom Lion's Mane (Hericium erinaceus) with its unique flavor resembling lobster or shrimp appears to also possess likewise unique medicinal properties. It has been found to stimulate nerve and myelin regeneration, which may be beneficial in many neurological conditions. World renowned medicinal mushroom expert Paul Stamets suggests its potential application in conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. [134]

Hericium erinaceus (Lion's Mane) is known to grow in Europe, North America, Japan and China. It can be found on many broad leaf trees, from oaks, maples and sycamores to beeches and walnuts.

The active compounds that have received the most attention for their nerve regenerating properties are named erinacines, a series of low molecular weight molecules that are able to pass through the blood brain barrier - an essential attribute for any medicinal compound expected to be able to effect healing on myelin or nerve tissue. [152, 153, 154]

In Japan, there are two patents on extracts of Hericium erinaceus. The first was filed in the 1990's for a process of extraction that yields what has been named "Nerve Growth Stimulant Factor." [150, 151] The second from 2004 is for a water extract of Hericium erinaceus. It is likewise used to stimulate nerve regeneration. [155]

Although recent research on Hericium erinaceus extract has focused on its powerful effect on healing nerve tissue, in Traditional Chinese Medicine Lion's Mane Mushroom was used primarily for stomach conditions and cancers of the digestive organs.

Two modern studies have confirmed this ancient wisdom. One done in 1985 showed positive results for treating atrophic gastritis. Another conducted a decade later, in 1995, showed some ameliorating effect on hepatoma, with a marked life extension of treated patients. [156]

To conclude, some additional areas where modern medical research has indicated that Hericium erinaceus extract may have a therapeutic effect include: Immune support [157]; inflammation [134]; antimicrobial against Aspergillus and Candida [158]; anti-tumoral [159]; stomach cancer. [134]

By Alex Falun

How to treat panic attacks is important to learn as this condition can disruptive to your daily routine both at work and at home. Such overwhelming feelings can be unpleasant to experience and can occur when you least expect it. Here are 3 tips when it comes to self help for panic attacks using natural methods that work so you can be stress free.

1. Do not think destructive or negative thoughts

Anxiety attacks can often be made even worse by continuing to have negative thoughts about yourself or what might happen. Instead, focus your thoughts on something much more pleasant while reminding yourself that everything will be okay. Keeping your mind distracted will prevent you from focusing on your body and how you feel at the moment.

2. Are your thoughts realistic?

A majority of panic attacks have an underlying cause so it's important that you are able to identify it so you can better treat it. For example, you might start to notice symptoms of anxiety if you find yourself in a particular situation or if you are about to engage in an activity. It's important that you question your thoughts so you can determine whether what is causing you to feel uneasy is realistic.

3. Practice relaxation techniques

Relaxation techniques such as meditation and yoga are extremely effective in relaxing your body and mind. Deep breathing techniques will help to relax your body while you think about something more positive and pleasant. It's important that you practice these methods until you can implement them successfully without getting frustrated.

Most cases of anxiety are not severe enough to warrant any type of medications but it's still a good idea to consult with a doctor just to be safe. When going through the above process, it's important that you are patient with yourself and that you are not overly critical.

Finding The Right Networking Training Described

By Jason Kendall

If we didn't have a steady stream of knowledgeable network and PC support personnel, industry in the UK (along with most other places) would inevitably be drawn to a standstill. Consequently, there's a huge requirement for people to support systems and users alike. Our country's need for better skilled and qualified individuals grows, as human beings become vastly more reliant on PC's in these modern times.

Many companies only concern themselves with gaining a certificate, and completely miss the reasons for getting there - which will always be getting the job or career you want. Always begin with where you want to get to - too many people focus on the journey. It's quite usual, for instance, to thoroughly enjoy one year of training but end up spending 10 or 20 years in a job you hate, entirely because you stumbled into it without the correct research at the beginning.

Prioritise understanding what expectations industry may have of you. What precise accreditations you'll need and how to gain experience. It's definitely worth spending time assessing how far you reckon you're going to want to build your skill-set as it may affect your choice of certifications. We recommend that students seek advice from an experienced industry advisor before you begin some particular learning path, so you're sure from the outset that the specific package will give the appropriate skill-set.

Lately, do you find yourself questioning how safe your job is? Normally, this only rears its head when we get some bad news. Unfortunately, the lesson often learned too late is that true job security is a thing of the past, for nearly everyone now. In times of increasing skills deficits and high demand areas though, we generally discover a newer brand of market-security; as fuelled by the constant growth conditions, companies find it hard to locate enough staff.

A recent national e-Skills study showed that more than 26 percent of computing and IT jobs haven't been filled because of a lack of properly qualified workers. Meaning that for every four jobs that exist throughout computing, we have only 3 certified professionals to perform that task. Acquiring the appropriate commercial Information Technology certification is correspondingly a fast-track to realise a life-long as well as rewarding profession. While the market is increasing at such a rate, is there any other area of industry worth investigating for a new career.

It only makes sense to consider learning programs that'll progress to commercially approved accreditations. There are way too many minor schools proposing their own 'in-house' certificates that are essentially useless in the real world. From a commercial standpoint, only the major heavyweights like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco or CompTIA (as an example) will get you into the interview seat. Anything less just doesn't cut the mustard.

Many folks don't really get what IT can do for us. It's thrilling, changing, and means you're doing your bit in the gigantic wave of technology that will change our world over the next few decades. Technology, computers and connections on the internet will spectacularly shape our lives in the future; to a vast degree.

Let's not ignore salaries either - the income on average in Great Britain for a typical person working in IT is a lot greater than remuneration packages in other sectors. It's likely you'll bring in a whole lot more than you'd expect to earn doing other work. Demand for professionally qualified and skilled IT workers is assured for many years to come, due to the ongoing increase in this sector and the massive shortage that remains.

Consider the following points carefully if you've been persuaded that the sales ploy of 'guaranteeing' exams sounds like a benefit to the student:

You're paying for it somehow. It's definitely not free - they've just worked it into the package price. It's well known in the industry that if a student pays for their own exams, one at a time, there's a much better chance they'll qualify each time - as they'll be conscious of the cost and so will prepare more thoroughly.

Find the best exam deal or offer available at the time, and keep hold of your own money. You also get more choice of where you do your exams - so you can choose somewhere closer to home. Including money in your training package for examinations (plus interest - if you're financing your study) is madness. It's not your job to boost the training company's account with your money just to give them a good cash-flow! Some will be pinning their hopes on the fact that you don't even take them all - then they'll keep the extra money. You should fully understand that re-takes with companies who offer an 'Exam Guarantee' are tightly controlled. You'll be required to sit pre-tests to make sure they think you're going to pass.

With average Prometric and VUE examinations coming in at around 112 pounds in the UK, the most cost-effective way to cover the cost is by paying when you need them. It's not in the student's interests to fork out hundreds or thousands of pounds for exams when enrolling on a course. Consistent and systematic learning, coupled with quality exam simulation software is what will really see you through.
