How to Prevent Accidents Whilst Curling Your Hair

Curling hair is something that almost every woman has done before, and lots do on a daily or weekly basis. The effect that it has on the look of a woman is beyond doubt – it looks great!
r
rHowever, it’s no easy task to curl your own hair. Handling an extremely hot instrument whilst also looking in the mirror requires skill and dexterity. It’s far from uncommon to sustain burns to the ears as a result, and finding some way of preventing this would be welcomed by women everywhere.
r
rDue to the potential consequences, doing nothing and hoping for the best is not an option. Most women simply use their spare hand to push their ear out of the way when the curling tongs are near it, but burns still occur when trying to do this; not only to the ear itself, but also to the hand that has been placed in the danger area. Some have tried wrapping their ears with cloth or tissue which, whilst somewhat helping, is uncomfortable and a lot of effort.
r
rYou can of course visit a professional hairdresser or beautician to have it done for you, but this, for most women, can only be done occasionally as a treat for a special event or party, not a regular basis.
r
rAlso, the risk of burnt or damaged skin exists even if a professional is styling your hair for you. Though they have more experience, accidents do still happen, especially a student or trainee be assigned to you.
r
rThis issue of the heat from curling tongs damaging womens’ ears, and the sensitive areas around the ears, is not something that has gone un-noticed by hair and beauty product manufacturers; indeed, a number of products have been released in the past as a response to it. Various wearable shields, guards and expandable combs have been invented to try help women to curl their hair safely.
r
rHowever, whilst some of these products have been semi-successful, none have solved the specific issue of navigating a curling iron in and around the ears. They have instead mostly been focused on protecting the forehead, scalp or neck.
r
rFor ears though, there has recently been a new product made available – ear covers. They are specially made for the purpose and must just be taken from the packet they come in and then placed over each ear. Simple as they seem, they are perfect for the job at hand.
r
rBy using them, hairstylists, beauty schools students, and individuals who style their own hair, no longer have to worry about ear burns, discomfort from heat or staining the ears with hair color.
r
rThough, ear covers are relatively new products in the hair care market, they are widely available already. A quick search on Google will being up plenty of hair care and beauty stores that have them in stock now.
r
rThey’re affordable and would certainly be welcome addition to any woman’s beauty accessories. They are also ideal as a small and unexpected gift for your friends and family members.

Phone Counselor

It appears that the key word term “phone counseling” can apply to a number of different situations, one like that described in the job application below. By the way, that job has been filled.

Seattle Education jobs

Phone Counseling position -Company: AppleOneLocation: SeattlePosted on: August 19, 2008

Job Description:

Phone based counselor position for a rapidly growing company Downtown Seattle. This position will be assisting people on the phone with committing to a healthier lifestyle. You will be coaching them on life plans, strategies and life changes. It is an ergonomic environment with a great view of the sound. Very friendly and offers great advancement opportunities! You also have the ability to work from home after 90 days of training.

Requirements:

Must have a four year College degree. Sociology or Psychology emphasis preferred.Must have great phone skills and ability to deal with people in stressful situations.

Must have good data entry skills as well as being able to multi-task while navigating a computer system.

Must be fast paced, energetic and enthusiastic.

Must be able to pass a criminal background check.

However, phone counseling is primarily associated with the provision of mental health counseling services.

Phone counselors might be volunteer crisis line workers, coaches like the above, or the mental health kind of phone counselors, and I am sure there are many other designations.

I have heard peers talk about phone counseling for several years, but did not consider it an option for myself until writing and researching phone counseling pages for my counseling website.

That research lead me to other research that indicates that phone counseling has value to clients engaging in it and is also demonstrating some research value for depression, weight loss, smoking cessation, and even PTSD, which I would not normally consider amenable to phone counseling.

Phone counselors may do credit counseling, triage, customer service, and intake counseling.

And your counselor may want you to do some homework to get your success going, which might include reading an excellent book called Brainfit for Life by Simon Evans, Ph.D. and Paul Burghardt,Ph.D. who are neuroscientists at the University of Michigan.

They have culled the neuroscientific literature for information on how we can keep our brain fit, which encourages neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, or the daily growth of new brain cells and the constant rewiring of neurons into new circuits as we learn. (Neuroplasticity).

We keep our brain fit, whether we are phone counselors or phone counselees by attending to the pillars of brain fitness, physical exercise, nutrition including omega 3 fatty acid and antioxidants, sleep, stress managment, and novel learning experiences.

Novel learning experiences are the kind of learning which we experience learning a new language, or a new instrument.

Novel learning also happens with certain of the commercially available computerized brain fitness programs, like Mind Sparke Brain Fitness Pro, Lumosity, and the Posit Science Brain Fitness Program.

An online counselor would be wise to instruct clients to involve themselves with any of those three tools, because the success clients experience will carry over to other areas of their work.

The most beautiful married woman

Mrs World is a competition for married women only.

The events, which were broadcast live on Star World channel with an

estimated viewership of 500 million from over 70 countries, also crowned Marie

 Carine Davison from Côte d’Ivoire as Mrs. Ao Dai (traditional Vietnamese tunic).

Mrs. Denmark Alexandra Bach Ternstom won Mrs. Congeniality

Mrs Vietnam Hoang Thi Yen’s interpreter’s shoddy translation took the blame for the local beauty’s disappointing second-place finish at the Mrs World competition in the southern beach town of Vung Tau this week.

Asked “why were you chosen?” she spoke without confidence and meandered off topic by saying that the pageant gave Asian married women a chance to step out of the kitchen and raise their voice on behalf of the international women’s community. But it was her interpreter’s narrow English idiolect and woolly translation that sealed Yen’s fate, according to media critics.

Audiences said that if she had had a better interpreter, she would have won.

Viewers complained that while the organizers had selected the charming and English-fluent beauty queen Ngo Phuong Lan to host the show, they had failed to pick an able interpreter for Yen.

Additionally, many wondered why Yen did not answer in English, as she had spent weeks training with foreign teachers before the pageant.

Yen’s confused Q&A was not the first by a Vietnamese representative at an international beauty contest.

While never failing to match their counterparts in appearance, figure or charm, critics say Vietnamese beauty queens often stumble when it comes time to articulate in English.

With Yen lost in translation, it was public relations executive Victoria Radochinskaya, 30, who emerged victorious over the seventy-five other candidates to become 2009’s Mrs World.

The annual beauty contest will be held next year in South Korea.

Wall Fountains : Know About The Different Types

Fountains in the earlier days were intended to enhance the beauty of parks, churches, palaces and forts. The marble statue in the middle of an artificial pool, and clear water flowing from its hands into the pool was an amazing scene to watch. The presence of a fountain in a park would complement the beauty of nature.

How did you ever wish if you could have such a miniature fountain in your own backyard or small garden which would increase the splendor of it?  Well, now you have a solution to it – Wall Fountains. These are artificially designed fountains that can be placed anywhere, from your gardens to your walkways or even indoors and corners of your hallways. Owing to its increasing popularity and demand, nowadays you can find wall fountains of any shape, size and material in the market to suit your requirements.

The different types of fountains available in the market are:

•    Indoor wall fountains – These fountains are mainly designed to be installed in rooms, offices and halls or walkways. They are small in size to be accommodated in small spaces and are usually made of plastic, wood, plaster of paris etc.

If you can place it well with good lighting and a contrasting background they will increase the beauty of your room.

•    Outdoor Wall Fountains – As the name suggests these fountains are used to enhance the beauty of decks, stone walls and gazebos. They can be easily placed on flat surfaces, and connected to any water source. They add a majestic look wherever they are installed as water appeals to everyone and add a touch of calmness and serenity to the place naturally.

•    Garden Fountains – These are bigger in size and are installed permanently in the gardens with a permanent water source connected to it. They add a marvelous splendor to your garden and its surroundings. As the water trickles down in the pool below and birds perch atop it chirping, it takes you to another world of tranquility and immense calmness. You can also install statues or vintage art collections around the fountain to add to its beauty. A garden fountain can add to your garden its aesthetic values and at the same time compliment the surroundings around it.

Also you must note that garden fountains help plants and greenery grow better in the garden. This is because the moisture present around it due to the continuous flow of water provides natural nourishment to the plants around.

•    Pedestal fountains – Most wall fountains are shaped like pedestal fountains with a solid base of concrete or bricks. The solid base is necessary so that the fountain water or sprinkler does not erode away the soil from beneath. The fountains are hollow from within to contain water tricking down the fountain.

•    Cascading wall fountains – As the name suggests, the wall fountains are designed in a cascade manner, adding steps or cliffs at frequent intervals from top to bottom. This way the fountain water will fall at different levels giving an even more marvelous look.

Recent History

Continued

In terms of evolution, it is not unreasonable to believe that sexual creatures should be attracted to a mate who possesses predominantly features that are coincident with their own. Natural selection is the natural process in which characteristics passed down from one generation to another increase the likelihood that an organism will survive and successfully reproduce and subsequently become more predominant within a population over successive generations. This is the key to evolution.

The result of natural selection is that, over the course of a number of generations, creatures that have developed beneficial features will thrive at the expense of those less fortunate. Such developments represent the fundamental force that is an essential factor inherent in natural evolution, and represents the Biological insight immortalised by Charles Darwin. Accordingly, a sexual creature who wishes to mate with a suitable partner would be expected to avoid potential partners who possessed unusual (non beneficial) features, while being particularly attracted to those individuals displaying a predominance of beneficial features.

In research studying aspects of attractiveness, the concept of averageness is one of the characteristics of physical beauty in which the average outward appearance of the individual theoretically characterises what may be regarded as an average genotype (which is the genetic makeup of an individual). Such a characterisation gives rise to an indication of health and fertility. In most cases, averageness studies and theories are based on photographic overlay studies in which images are merged together.

Attractiveness can be measured on the basis of a number of factors. One such is symmetry (especially facial symmetry, which is one of a number of aesthetic traits related to the health, physical attractiveness and beauty of a person), whilst another is youthfulness.

An important characteristic feature of beautiful women that has long been studied by many researchers is the waist-to-hip ratio of approximately 0.69 for women. The Waist-to-hip ratio, or WTR, is defined as the ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. The WHR is used as a means of measuring the health of a person, and in turn the risk of developing serious health conditions. Research studies have indicated that people’s bodies which may be described as shaped like an apple (with weight concentrated around the waist) are associated with greater health risks than who are shaped like a pear (with weight concentrated around the hips). It has been verified by physiologists that this ratio accurately indicates the level of a women’s fertility. Traditionally, during those periods of history when food was less readily available, overweight people were judged to be more attractive than their slender counterparts.

It is important to realise that the female of the species is not the sole arbiter of natural beauty. The concept of beauty in men has been an established feature throughout history, but is especially pronounced in regions such as East Asia and Japan. Such a characterisation is quite distinct from the perception of being metrosexual which refers to a heterosexual man with a strong concern for his appearance and/or a lifestyle. Such a portrait can be said to display attributes distinctly akin to those of homosexual men. In Japan, in particular, their pop culture establishes physical characteristics synonymous with males characterised with distinctly feminine features.
