Whether you’re outdoors for recreational or work purposes, repeated exposure to the sun will have its natural consequences for your skin.

Regardless of color, skin that is repeatedly exposed to the sun tends to become tough and thick. Beyond the middle years of adulthood, the results can include wrinkly, leathery skin.

Irrespective of the circumstances for sun exposure, selecting a sunscreen product that offers some degree of protection from the sun’s UV rays can be one way to protect your skin from these ageing affects.

Due to the variety and range of sunscreen products available, here are some basic factors to consider in making an appropriate selection:

1. Ingredients:

Sunscreen products can be made with ingredients to protect against UVA rays, and / or other ingredients to protect against UVB rays (which are in fact more harmful for sun burning than UVA rays). The best products offer ingredients for protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Consider also the actual ingredient list. (I.e. Are they naturally derived / safe, or do they contain potentially harmful chemicals?).

2. SPF (Sun Protection Factor):

The SPF number on the product’s label refers to the strength of protection, and the length of time a sun-screening product will allow your skin to be in the sun without burning - relative to the length of time bare skin (or skin without the product applied) would burn or redden.

To sum that up, the SPF number tells people how much longer they can last out in the sun with protection for their skin, without being burned. The higher the SPF number, the longer the period of protection against the sun.

For example, let’s say ‘Joe’, a young student, would normally burn after 12 minutes of being out in the sun. He applies a sunscreen, also referred to as a sun block, with an SPF of 15. This means that he should be fine for 15 times his average amount of protection time. In other words, ‘Joe’ would be protected for up to 3 hours. Here’s the formula for calculating:
12 minutes x 15 SPF = 180 minutes (3 hours).

(Now if ‘Joe’ applied a sunscreen with an SPF of 30, he’d be protected for up to 6 hours. E.g. 12 minutes X 30 SPF = 360 minutes (6 hours)).

3. Skin Type:

When selecting a sunscreen, it’s important to consider the different skin types and how they react with exposure to the sun.

Young children: For ages 6 months+, consider a product with SPF of 15 or higher to protect against both sun tanning and burning. Also consider a product label that lists protection against both UVA and UVB rays (also known as the “broad-spectrum”).

Skin Type - Very Fair: This skin type generally burns quickly. Tanning is rare. Consider sunscreen products containing SPF 20 to 30.

Skin Type - Fair: This skin type almost always burns easily. Some tanning can occur, although not much. Consider sunscreen products containing SPF 12 to 20.

Skin Type - Light: This skin type burns in the moderate range. Tanning is normally gradual, yielding a light brown shade. Consider sunscreen products containing SPF 8 to 12.

Skin Type - Medium: This skin type burns in the minimal range. Tanning happens much of the time, yielding a moderate brown shade. Consider sunscreen products containing SPF 4 to 8.

Skin Type - Dark: This skin type rarely burns. Tanning occurs big time, yielding a dark brown shade. Consider sunscreen products containing SPF 2 to 4.

Skin Type - Other: This skin type includes people with moles (or whose close blood-relatives have a history of moles), people with skin cancer in their family histories (including melanoma), and people with very fair skin and hair. As this is a high-risk category for health damage from too much UV exposure, consider using sunscreen products with the highest SPF available, combined with light to moderate sun exposure.

Once you’ve selected the most suitable sunscreen product, and regardless of your skin type, apply your sunscreen ‘before’ going out into the sun’s rays. To ensure the best possible UV protection, the sunscreen product should also be spread fairly thick, and in a uniform manner over all areas of the skin that will be exposed to the UV rays.

Whatever your current circumstances and choices are for going out in the sun, taking appropriate care of your skin ‘now’ will help determine a healthier and younger-looking skin in the future.

Dementia is spreading like a disease. If you find yourself laughing about your memory loss and excusing it with your age…maybe the solution is truly golden…

Colloidal = a solid (in this case gold) of minute particles, that remain in suspension in a surrounding liquid (in this case de-ionized water).

Gold has always been the prize of desire, but now the elixir of choice? We know that this precious metal has been a primary building block of the body. Very little research is underway to find how such a crucial metal in our body is being lost and not constantly replenished.

Europeans have long used colloidal gold as a supplement in their diet to replenish this key element of the body. In using colloidal gold as a supplement, arthritis sufferers noticed reduced swelling and pain. In some cases pain was eliminated entirely. Extensive European studies and use showed that stress levels were controlled, and that depression and anxiety faded away while patients diets were supplemented with colloidal gold.

The overseas reports conclude that colloidal gold has a most positive effect on the nerve structure and brain. Gold being one of the best conductors of electricity, it isn’t at all surprising that the supplementing of gold to a body that is gold depleted, would improve the overall function of the nervous system including improved memory and quicker thought processes.

Memory loss comes with age and is joked about by the “50 and over” crowd. However memory loss is temporary and can be improved. Mental exercises, diet and supplements have shown that memory loss can be avoided or reversed and in most cases improved.

Dementia can be caused by several factors such as stroke, circulation, Alzheimer’s and more but the common thread is poor conductivity in the brain. Dementia and memory loss are treatable. Most sufferers don’t or cannot help themselves. If dementia is left untreated, memory loss worsens. As dementia escalates in an individual, their plight becomes the families’ everyday responsibility to care for an adult as if they were a very small child. Dementia affects the caretaker in ways greater than the patient.

Gold has long been known to promote healthier skin, reduce the healing time of burns and clear up skin ulcers. For many years the Europeans have used colloidal gold to combat alcohol addiction. Again memory loss due to alcohol abuse affects the brain and a gold supplement would be the obvious choice.

Colloidal trace minerals derived from plant material are the easiest absorbed of all minerals. Single colloidal minerals such as silver, gold, and platinum can be electrically reduced to a size that is readily assimilated into the blood stream.

This all natural ingredient of our body is not replenished by the foods we eat. Our alternative is to seek out colloidal gold and other trace minerals to keep the required levels for a healthy body.

Kids room decorating are an opportunity waiting to come to life! No where else can you mix and match a variety of paint schemes along with creative stencils, stickers, sparkles, and get away with it. Best of all, your kids can be involved in transforming their room into their own accomplishments while redecorating at the same time.

Some creative ideas on decorating kid’s bedrooms:

Furniture - Make a whole play area from an ordinary bookcase. Choose bright colors that match your child style and add features such as cutout doors for a doll house or castle effect. Add texture materials to one or two compartments that create a window or door like feature. When your child has out-grown the design, you can easily remove the materials and doors and replace them with the original materials that you saved. Other ideas can be used with Lego or large building blocks to create more designs to match your child’s age.

Walls - Turn your kid’s walls in a big canvas. Paint is the perfect solution and least expensive way to create a kaleidoscope impact while offering unlimited color options. Just changing one wall or adding stripes, borders, sponge or stamping techniques can bring new life to an ordinary room. Use wavy or splat design patterns, or turn one wall into a mural effect. Choose a bright base and pick accent colors to achieve the best effects.

Ceiling - Create a magical night sky on your child’s ceiling with glow in the dark decorations. These can be fun and even comforting for your child to be able to lie in bed and gaze up at the night stars

Doors - Use wooden letters that spell your child’s name and glue them on the door. Painting them in the theme color of your child room will dress up the door nicely. Closet door hardware can be replaced with wiggly handles or their favorite cartoon character. By matching the door hardware with wall plates you can carry the pattern through out the room that accents their style.

Shelves - Using shelving materials can be the least expensive way to pick up the clutter and organize a room. Painting with the same colors or add design features with stencil or stamping can quickly dress up any room. Different shelve designs can also be used to border a window that eliminate the need for expensive window treatments.

Accessories - Large cork boards can quickly turn a bare wall into a busy space. Cork boards also eliminate holes in walls from nails or tacks that later need to be repaired. Wooden picture frames can be painted to help accent the room. Fans blades can be reversed and painted with designs to add cool effects when in use and then can be reversed when it comes time to re-decorate.

Decorating your kid’s bedroom is a great way to give them a place they can call their own and you may just find your kid spending more time in there!

“Home Typing Scams” are one of the highest ranking work-at- home scams on the Internet according to leading Internet fraud watch dogs.

You see these “Home Typing Jobs” advertised across the Internet. You probably receive their pitches in several emails every day. These companies typically target anyone who wants to work-at-home. Unfortunately, most of these typing jobs are frauds. The following is a typical ad:

Home Typist Opportunity! We offer you an excellent opportunity to earn cash working from home as a “Home Typist.” These jobs are available world wide, you can set your own hours. Make up to a $1,000 dollars a week working full time. No experience required!

Here’s The Usual Scenario: You receive a pitch like above for a “Home Typing Job” in an email. The company sounds legitimate, claiming to provide clerical help to leading business firms. They claim they are over loaded with work and are recruiting new home based workers.

The ad peeks your interest.

So, you respond to the ad with high hopes. They send you a request. In order to process your application you must send them a fee of anywhere from 29.00 and up. This is the point where the red flags should go up.

Warning…Warning..Warning…Scam Alert!

But they don’t. So, you send them the requested fee and wait with baited breath for your first Home Typing Assignment!

In response (if any) they send you a list of companies who might be hiring home typist. Or they might supply you with a disc that includes instructions on how you can place similar ads for home typist online or in print publications..and sell respondants the same disc. Thus joining the ranks of the scammers.

Who are the easiest victims according to online resources?

Moms at home raising children. The disabled who are not able to take outside jobs. Low income people desperate for cash. Uneducated people with no job skills.

Actually, in my opinion, just about anyone looking to make extra cash might fall prey to these deceptive and misleading ads.

Be Wise:

Remember, the majority of Home Typing Opportunities online are scams. But if you do decide to get involved investigate the company. Check the Better Business Bureau. Are they listed? How long have they been in business? How many complaints have been filed against them?

Report Offenders:

If you’ve been scammed by one of these companies report them to the following agencies.

The Federal Trade Commission.

Consumer Protection Agency.

Better Business Bureau.

What is the best Valentines Day Gift Idea? Well, you’ve got a few months to think that over, and besides, there are still some holidays that are coming up sooner. However, it’s never too early to consider what to get for your friend, relative or significant other. Here are just a few ideas to think about, depending on the level of relationship you share.

Cards-Simple and Easy

In elementary school, valentine cards, homemade or ones featuring cartoon characters did just the trick for young children. Days before our classroom Valentines Day party, my teacher had us decorate old shoeboxes, transforming them into festive mailboxes. After a full appetite of candy and heart-shaped cookies, we ended our party opening up our valentine cards from our fellow classmates.

In addition to traditional valentine cards, e-cards, and text messaging notes make it possible to conveniently reach contacts in your address book, whether they are acquaintances or out-of-town friends. How considerate is it than to receive a holiday email or text message from a long time friend?

Chocolates-Going an extra mile

A box of chocolates wrapped in a heart-shaped box is a fitting valentines day gift idea for fond associates whether they are classmates, teachers, co-workers or neighbors. Wishing your good friends well with a box of chocolates or other homemade treats will make their day and allow them to indulge on delicious sweets for Valentines Day.

Flowers or Ties-A Valentines Day gift idea for your romantic interest

For the woman: One long-stem rose or a dozen carnations, it doesn’t matter. Depending on the level of relationship you have, presenting her with any type of flowers will flatter her and give her a home adornment for her to enjoy. No pun intended, but flowers signify a blooming relationship that can continue to grow.

For the man: You can never go wrong with buying ties for your male interest. In a budding relationship, give him a tie as a simple gesture that you acknowledge his preferences in style. Wearing a tie will complement his suit and giving him such a gift will make him proud as he wears it on those formal occasions.

Jewelry-For the deeply committed

Perhaps Valentines Day is the time you want to take your relationship to the next level. If you want to invest in something lavish, jewelry will show your loved one of your deep commitment to them. Diamond earrings, a charm bracelet to as serious as an engagement ring will symbolize your commitment to them only.

Giving your loved one jewelry is a generous sign of affection but this valentines gift idea should be given at the right time and for an appropriate relationship. For example, someone you have dated for a week would not be a good candidate of your jewelry gift. Present someone with jewelry who you have shared a long mutual fondness for and they feel like a jewel on Valentines Day.

If you haven’t found the Valentine’s Day gift idea that suits your fancy, peruse through Harris Michael Jewelry’s suggested gift ideas, particularly the suggestions for loved ones.

Ask any famous person that achieved greatness what they did that was different - they would tell you they made their goals realistic and took action. The rest is history. Napoleon Hill stated “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” He used a positive mental attitude and the use of small, realistic steps to achieve greatness. He went from a poor beginning in a log cabin to one of the best selling authors and an advisor to congressmen, presidents and so on. W. Clement Stone took $100 and with this same use of creating realistic steps and taking action he built one of the largest multi million dollar insurance companies in America.

They may not have the current publicity or notoriaty of Donald Trump, Dale Earnhardt or similar, but they came from much humbler starts. Donald Trump was born into a real estate magnate family. Dale Earnhardt was born into a established race car family in Kannapolis North Carolina. Now thats not to say that Donald Trump and Dale Earnhardt are not great people (Dale Earnhardt formed one of the largest and winningest Nascar teams and was very philanthropic and helped a lot of people through his charitable activities). What I am getting at here is that most of us don’t have magnates or millions in our families, but that in no wy means we cannot achieve greatness, riches beyond our wildest dreams, etc… Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone actually started with much less and in worse times and conditions than we have ever known (the great depression era).

What drove Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone to greatness was two things. (1)They planned realistic steps to reach attainable goals (baby steps). They didn’t just wake up one day and say my only goal is to be rich and retire tomorrow. They made plans and kept slowly raising the bar every time they would attain one of their goals. (2)They took action. You wouldn’t believe how many times I hear people state all the things they are going to do or would like to do. I recently attended a young Cornell Alumni meeting where the talk was mostly about grand future plans, or what they would like to do but they don’t have time, the conditions aren’t right, etc… You have to start somewhere. If you take too big of a step you will probably become defeated and not continue. It is better to take small attainable steps. Each time you attain one of these steps or your goal raise the bar a little. It will slowly move you closer to your dream and give you a great boost in self confidence. You have to plan out little baby steps and then you have to take action. This will seperate you from everyone else - the majority of people live life day to day, pay check to paycheck with little or no action or planning. You can always find these people complaining about how bad the economy is, taxes are too high, etc…

The best thing you can do is find a mentor and surround yourself with positive achievers and realize it will take a lot of effort. Lance Armstrong didn’t win the Tour de France 6 times by accident and battle cancer at the same time. He was driven, set goals, and took action on a daily basis. He also realized greatness would not happen overnight. Greatness didn’t come overnight for Dale Earnhardt either. He raced hard for many years, suffered crashes that would have kept most people off the track and faced fear head on. With his tanacity, fierce vigor and drive he became the greatest Nascar legend of all time. Now his son, Dale Jr., continues his racing legacy and awesome philanthropic and charitable activities. If you take the effort to take action, use baby steps to attain goals and make realistic goals you cannot and will not fail. Failure will not be a word in your vocabulary.

Now you know how to achieve greatness. Set goals for yourself. Make them realistic and take realistic baby steps to achieve them. Take action - this will seperate you from 99.9% of everyone else. They are afraid to take action and will never attain greatness. What do you think Lance Armstrong said when critics said he could not win the Tour de France, or that he could not do a repeat win of it? What do you think Dale Earnhardt said when the critics stated he could not overcome his fathers shadow in racing? They went on to become the greatest of their time. What will you do?

It is never to late to decide to take control of your life and make something great of it. Look at Sam Walton. He didn’t like working with a Ben Franklin franchise and their rules. So he started his own retailing company and became the largest retailer in the world. If you make attainable goals, take action, and lay out baby steps to achieve these goals there is no way you will fail and there’s no telling what you can or will achieve. Some of our greatest achievers have come from the most humbling positions. I wonder what greatness you can and will achieve.

It is very important for an enterprise to be adequately staffed. Systematic steps have to be taken to ensure that the right types of persons are available to the concern in right numbers. This process is called recruiting and it takes time and attention to find out persons who are not merely willing to work but are also suitable for the positions lying vacant. It goes without saying that the management should, to begin with, attempt to make an estimate of the requirements of individuals required in the different departments.

The number of workers required by an enterprise depends upon the scale of production, the degree of mechanization and methods of work. The management must, therefore, keep a watch on developments in these fields so as to be able to take advantage of new techniques of production and new machinery. These days, when it is difficult to get rid of surplus labor owing to the operation of various labor laws, it is necessary that no surplus worker be recruited in the first instance.

In short, management will do well to draw up a plan for the recruitment of employees for the coming year or so. The plan may be thoroughly scrutinized before steps are taken to recruit them. There are many different methodologies for actively recruiting a solid workforce. Recruitment should be conducted in an organized manner preferably by the personnel department. The personnel department will obviously keep in mind the requirements of various departments both as regards quantity and quality.

But, in small concerns where there is no personnel department, the departmental managers themselves recruit people for their respective departments. The essence of recruiting is attracting and enticing candidates to take positions in an organization. Before recruiting begins, the position requirements - which should directly relate to the task - must be clearly identified. This makes it easier to recruit suitable candidates from the outside.
