AbstractWe formulate a constitutive framework for biodegradable polymers that accounts for nonlinear viscous behavior under regimes with large deformation. The generalized Maxwell model is used to represent the degraded viscoelastic response of a polymer. The large-deformation, time-dependent behavior of viscoelastic solids is described using an Ogden-type hyperviscoelastic model. A deformation-induced degradation mechanism is assumed in which a scalar field depicts the local state of the degradation, which is responsible for the changes in the material's properties. The degradation process introduces another timescale (the intrinsic material clock) and an entropy production mechanism. Examples of the degradation of a polymer under various loading conditions, including creep, relaxation and cyclic loading, are presented. Results from parametric studies to determine the effects of various parameters on the process of degradation are reported. Finally, degradation of an annular cylinder subjected to pressure is also presented to mimic the effects of viscoelastic arterial walls (the outer cylinder) on the degradation response of a biodegradable stent (the inner cylinder). A general contact analysis is performed. As the stiffness of the biodegradable stent decreases, stress reduction in the stented viscoelastic arterial wall is observed. The integration of the proposed constitutive model with finite element software could help a designer to predict the time-dependent response of a biodegradable stent exhibiting finite deformation and under complex mechanical loading conditions. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Wien.

When you first arrive…
If you are relocating to Dubai for work you are probably feeling a mixture of excitement and perhaps a little fear of the unknown. How will you feel when you land on UAE soil? Pretty happy because the sun will probably be bloody shining! The moving out process from the UK is likely to have been smooth - visa, flights and luggage allowance all taken care of by your company. All you need to do is find somewhere to live, preferably near your work, but you will have plenty of time for that as you will be booked into a hotel or apartment by your employer, usually for the first few weeks or even months.
Be prepared to negotiate on rent
There is a plethora of affordable accommodation available at the moment. Rents are the lowest they have been in five years. There's an old perception that Dubai is an expensive place to live, which just isn't true anymore. It was the case when property was in high demand but not so anymore, thanks to the exodus of talent from the energy sector (unlike the digital and tech space which is busier than ever). You may be asked to pay upfront for your accommodation but make sure you negotiate your terms - your first instalment can usually be given as a loan.
Get used to the culture
One of the first things you will notice is how multicultural Dubai is - even more so than the UK. Learning about different cultures and interacting with people from different backgrounds, as well as trying new foods and customs, will help you make a successful transition. The social life is incredibly lively and very outdoors-based. It is very easy to meet new people and make friends, everyone knows someone from back home, and you're all in the same boat. There are so many places to go from skydiving and sports clubs to beaches and bars.
Things to expect
Dubai is a fast-paced and dynamic city - an emerging market. However, people relocating from London are often shocked by how long it takes people to make a decision out here. For a start, the interview process typically takes two months. You also have to get used to the fact that there won't be many others with the same skillset as you. For example, web developers and arabic writers are new markets for the region - you could be the only one, so you may not have many other peers to bounce ideas off.
Another change you may have to adapt to is that whilst you will probably have a short and easy commute to work, you may have to work longer hours. You may find people call you anytime, even at the weekend, about work-related matters. It's just part of the culture that you get used to.
Top tips for a successful relocation to Dubai:
- Choose the right company: Make sure you come with a credible company and get a job closely affiliated with your skillset. Most people come here because their skillset is in demand and they are experts in a particular area such as copywriting, so it's best not to try and change careers.
- Research different areas to live: Go and see the areas you want to live in, view properties as soon as possible and negotiate on rent. Use the Time Out and Property Finder websites to get a feel for the city and different areas. Some of the most popular places for expats to live include The Marina, The Palm and Jumeirah. Wherever you choose, make it near to work - most people in Dubai live 20 minutes door-to-door from work.
- Make a good impression: Whatever you do, don't take your foot off the pedal. Bring your professionalism with you and you will thrive. Even if others are late into work or for meetings, be punctual. Factor in bad traffic when you need to travel to meetings.
- Don't be mediocre: Get used to the arabic culture and learn to speak it. You can do so much better than many expats who don't bother to understand the culture or socialise with the locals. Get to know them and what makes the city tick. If you don't settle for being mediocre you can get to the top of your game very quickly.
- Avoid job hopping: Think long term and use your experience in Dubai to better your career prospects, rather than seeing it as a short-term money grabbing game as that could tarnish your CV.
Ultimately, Dubai is a respectable place to work and your first six months should be exciting and fulfilling, as long as you are polite and abide by the rules. Check out the Dubai Tourism website for more tips and faux pas.

Due to his ambition, Bushroot rushed to finish a project that would let ducks live off sun – similar to plants. He hooked himself up to a plant and transferred its ability to live off the sun onto his body. At first, it appeared to have had done nothing at all, but when he went outside he started transforming into part plant and part duck! He also found out that he could control surrounding vegetation. Overjoyed with his plant powers, he went back to the university and punished the people who made his life horrible. After that, he took Rhoda to also transform her into half duck, and half plant, so they could be married. As usual, Darkwing Duck saved Dendron and made Bushroot his enemy.

In case your sciatic neural gets inflamed, the problem is actually called sciatica (pronounced si-ad'-i-ka). The actual pain could be extreme! This frequently comes after the road of the nerve – down the actual back of your leg, ankle, foot, as well as toes — however additionally, it may radiate for your back! Together with burning, sharp pains, you may even really feel neural feelings for example pins-and-needles, tingling, prickling, crawling sensations, or even tenderness. Ironically, your own leg could also feel numb!
In order to mess with issues, even though sciatica pain is generally within the back associated with the legs or even thighs, a few people might feel pain within the front or even side from the legs or even even in the hips. For many, the actual pain is actually in both legs: bilateral sciatica!
The actual quality associated with pain might vary. There might be constant throbbing, however it might allow upward all night or even even days; it might pain or even end up being knife-like. Occasionally postural changes like lying down or even changing positions impact the actual pain, as well as occasionally they do not. Within severe cases, sciatica may cause the loss of reflexes or perhaps a wasting from the calf muscles.
With regard to sciatica sufferers, the good night's sleep can be a point from the past. Easy such things as walking, sitting, or even standing up could be difficult or even impossible.

News wrap up.
Beta 0.155 is slated for the 17th of January which is only 3 days away.
News article with details of Beta 0.155 including some information on Dunland 2.0 Part 1 which will start to introduce a few changes to Dunland.
The launcher has gotten a major overhaul since Beta 0.15 with a lot of being streamlined and automated.
You will no longer have to set your game irectory manually the launcher will handle that even for custom directories.
The launcher will also automatically check that, first the game is installed and then if you have patched the game to 1.03, if you haven't patched it will automatically run the game's patch checker it will also check if you have T3A online installed and adjust accordingly.
I've added the Game mode code to the main menu and removed the Starting menu so everything is handled from the one menu.
Added a new game mode help option to the launcher "gmhelp".
Adding 3 new Game Modes:
- noheroes which removes all buildable heroes.
- gollumwars which removes all buildable heroes and gives each faction 5 Gollums to build
- gollzilla which replaces the final spell for each faction with the massive Gollzilla.
I've created a Google doc for users to post bugs found here.
If enough bugs are reported by the 17th I'll reveal some juicy information on future plans for Return of Shadow.
A new map is coming for Beta 0.155

Amerco Q1 Revenue Climbed, but Earnings Went Into Reverse on Increased Costs
Image source: Amerco.
Continue Reading Below
Amerco(NASDAQ: UHAL) reported its first-quarter fiscal 2017 earnings after the market closed on Wednesday. The parent company of do-it-yourself moving giant and self-storage player U-Haul, which also has two insurance company subsidiaries,posted a 4.4% increase in revenue from the year-ago period, but earnings per share fell more than 14% due to increased costs in the U-Haul segment.
Shares of Amerco were down 9.5% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, as the market is no doubt disappointed with the earnings decline.
Amerco's key quarterly numbers
Data source: Amerco. YOY = year over year.
Long-term investors shouldn't give too much credence to analysts' estimates, because Wall Street is focused on the short term. This is especially true with Amerco, as only a single analyst provides earnings estimates. That analyst expected earnings of $8.72 per share on revenue of $941.32 million; Amerco fell short on both counts.
What happened with Amerco this quarter?
- Revenue in the U-Haul segment, which accounted for about 91.6% of total revenue, rose 3.8% from the year-ago period to $845.8 million.
- Revenue in the insurance segment (comprised of one property-casualty and one life-insurance company) increased 10.9%.
- DIY-moving equipment rental revenue grew 2.7% from the year-ago period to $646.3 million.
- Self-storage revenue increased 18.4% to $67.7 million, accounting for 7.3% of total revenue. Room count increased to 287 at the end of the quarter compared to 237 at the end of the year-ago period. Average occupancy rate based on room count declined to 77.4% from 82.5% in the year-ago period. This marks the third consecutive quarter of year-over-year declines in the occupancy rate. Positively, however, we didn't see a sequential decline as we did last quarter, as the occupancy rates in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2016 were 78.4% and 76.1%, respectively. Investors should continue to monitor this number going forward, as declining occupancy rates can reflect increased competition and a softening of pricing power.
- DIY-moving and self-storage product and service sales revenue was flat at $77.3 million, while property management fees grew 8.1% to $6.6 million. These are fees the company collects from managing self-storage units owned by others.
- Operating income in the U-Haul segment declined 11.4% to $248.5 million. Revenue in the segment grew 3.8%, as previously noted, so the declining operating income was driven by increased costs. Notably, gross truck and trailer capital expenditures were approximately $419 million, compared with approximately $310 million in the year-ago period. The bottom line was also negatively affected by the decrease in proceeds from sales of rental equipment, which were $146 million, compared with $193 million in the year-ago period.
- Operating income in the insurance segment increased 6.8% to $11.4 million.
- Changes in IRS regulations regarding the capitalization of low-value assets resulted in an additional $4.7 million of operating expenses.
- On June 22, the company promoted Jason Berg to serve as its CFO. Bergs a long-term employee who previously served as chief accounting officer.
What management had to say
CEO Joe Shoen highlighted the positive in the press release, saying, "Our moving and storage business remains strong. People are still moving. We are seeing the strong truck chassis cost increases put through by Ford and General Motors reflected in our bottom line."
Looking forward
This was a disappointing quarter for Amerco, though one quarter -- or even a couple of quarters -- doesn't make a trend. Investors will learn more details on Thursday, when Amerco holds its conference call with analysts.
The good news is that the storage business continues to grow much faster than the moving business, and the former is a higher-profit-margin business. This is a winning formula if Amerco can maintain decent occupancy rates and keep costs in its moving business under control.

Family Background: Torres Strait Islander woman born on Thursday Island.
Career Highlights:
- 2017 Playing netball for the Severn Stars, Worcester UK
- 2008-2016 Playing for West Coast Fever in the ANZ Championship
Job Role: Deadly Sista Girlz Program Manager
Location: Perth, WA
Describe a typical days work at the Foundation:
Generally checking in with our DSG mentors and programs to see what's happening across all our sites. Looking at ways to improve our program content, delivery modes, mentor training and participant engagement in school or community so often spending a bit of time thinking and creating ideas.
We often get a lot of requests to help with young girls in the community needing mentoring who may not necessarily be a part of our DSG program so I do spend some time in the office yarning with those girls whether they're little sistagirls or young women, just trying to give them some inspiration to be the best and healthiest version of themselves.
Favourite part of being a mentor: Having connections and relationships with younger sistagirls in the community, whenever I see them around they always come up for a yarn or just a hug, some also think they're my shadow or chaperone and follow me all day. It's good to have those relationships because you never know when you may be needed or called up, whether it's tomorrow or in 5-10 years, those girls will know that they always have someone who is their friend, who will support them and believe in them.
Personal inspiration: Oprah. She just always knows all the right things to say and isn't afraid to keep learning. She's inspiration for all of us to keep helping others in need.
Quote to live by: "...It is when we act freely, for the sake of the action itself rather than for ulterior motives, that we learn to become more than what we were." - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience

Home theater sectionals serve a variety of functions which can greatly enhance the potential of any home theater. These multi-purpose sets can be configured in a number of different ways, catering to individual tastes and needs. The esteemed Seatcraft brand offers three distinct sectionals, each with its own look and character. In examining these multi-purpose sets, you can get a better feel for which one is right for your home theater.
The Bella is constructed from a sturdy and largely stain-resistant black polyurethane, which gives it an ultramodern look. Depending on the size and shape of your home theater, you can order the sectional with or without center seats, and with or without storage wedges. The storage wedges provide a wide, handsome accent to the sectional, featuring plenty of space for two convenient cupholders on each, along with plenty of in-arm storage. A typical three-piece set will feature two storage wedges, but depending on your space requirements you can customize the set to include one, both, or none as desired. In this way, you can also create various loveseat and sofa configurations. In addition, you can order the set without center seats. The Bella also comes with padded headrests, as well as chaiselounger footrests on each end seat for full lower body support. Those with extra storage needs can order an optional storage ottoman, in the same striking all-black contemporary design.
The Genesis sectional is manufactured with premium top-grain leather, for a luxury texture and appearance. The overstuffed, highly comfortable seating also features padded armrests for an extra dimension of leisure. The sectional comes with the same basic configuration options as the Bella, so that you can order the seat in an array of chair and storage wedge options. The storage ottoman is also available, which provides room for items to be placed on top or inside. In addition, the Genesis is a sectional which features the recline option, including the chaiselounger footrest, on every seat. It's all too easy to sink into this opulent set, whether its ordered as a row of two loveseat configuration, or a full blown four seat sectional with storage wedges!
The final model in Seatcraft's exclusive sectional line is the Vesta, which offers a slightly different setup to the Bella or Genesis. This set can be ordered in rows of two, three, or four, with each configuration featuring flip-down armrests with cupholders. However, simply flip each armrest up and the row instantly transforms into a sofa (or, in a row of two, a loveseat). This convenient feature allows the Vesta to serve two functions at once, with ample storage space located in this case underneath the center section. Padded headrests in top-grain leather material complete the picture, while wall-hugger seating allows the seat to recline just inches from any wall. The gentle curvature of this sectional will also make it an attractive centerpiece to your home theater design.
Whether you desire wedge arms or fold-up arms, in-arm storage or under-seat storage, ottomans or chaiselounger footrests, a loveseat or a sofa, you are sure to find the perfect sectional for your needs among these exceptional offerings.

Five Reasons To Build A Home Theater
A home theater is a big investment. For the time and money you put into such a venture, you will be expecting stellar results. Here at 4seating we can give you the home theater of your dreams--and one that will pay continued dividends in years to come. But before you make such a big decision, it's important to go over several of the key reasons why a home theater is well-worth the time and effort.
1) First and foremost, your home theater won't just be another room in the house. We all place our TV sets and other entertainment devices in our living rooms--and when you build a home theater, those devices will be in it. Thus, you are essentially moving the center of operations in your house to the home theater. From this point on, it can be the central focus for gatherings of family and friends. Any entertainment needs--TV, film, music--can be provided by a home theater, and a well-designed home theater can make it possible for casual conversation as well. Loveseat sets can enhance the romance for couples, and many chairs come with convenient in-arm storage areas with which you can store any number of books, magazines, snacks, or other items for an all-in-one experience.
2) Next, with the way ticket prices at movie theaters are soaring these days, you will end up saving money in the long run. No longer will you have to pay exorbitant prices any time you wish to experience a big screen thrill. But it goes beyond that--movie theaters tend to gouge their audiences with outrageously inflated prices for unhealthy drinks and snacks as well. With your home theater, you are in charge: every admission is free, and you can bring whatever you want to eat or drink.
3) In many ways, home theaters are actually superior to movie theaters, and it's not just about the ticket prices. A key factor in one's enjoyment of a film is the seating--if you're not comfortable in your seat, it doesn't matter how good the movie is. Stiff necks and stiff backs are not pleasant, and if you're taller or bigger than the movie seat allows, you will find yourself trying in vain to squeeze into an awkward position without bothering other members of the audience. With a home theater, you have your choice from a wide selection of hundreds of theater seats offered by 4seating, which offer plush padding and a full recline that goes far beyond what even the best movie theaters can offer. You can truly relax in the privacy of your own home, no screaming babies or beeping cell phones to distract you from what's on the screen.
4) With a home theater, you get to be the designer. In the golden age of cinema, theaters were beautiful: they often emulated Greek, Roman, or Chinese designs, with artwork and paneling that was both ornate and pleasing to the eye. Today's modern theaters are cold and functional looking, in comparison--but your own theater can be molded to any taste, from antique to futuristic. Fortunately, 4seating is once again here to help, by offering a wide array of theater decor including columns, panels, and carpets with which you can custom-design the centerpiece of your home, at a great value.
5) Finally, a home theater offers privacy. You can cuddle with a loved one, party with friends, or spend quality time with your children, all free from staring eyes. Privacy is one of the main reasons many people want to build their own home theater, and when combined with the savings you will experience from avoidance of soaring ticket prices, it's a very attractive option. Need to take a restroom break? You can pause the screen any time you want. You can do this with a regular home entertainment system as well, of course, but with a home theater, you will be experiencing the advantages of a big screen and luxurious theater seating that not only matches but surpasses what you will find in a movie theater. So what are you waiting for?
At 4seating.com, we have the largest selection of in-stock and ready-to-ship home theater seating and home theater furniture available! We offer theater seating and design solutions for both the casual and professional home theater enthusiast. We also have a complete line of custom home theater decor available.

The divine is shaped to the mortal limits we place upon it. It is not inherently limited, only the manifestations in which the divine pours itself from itself. In Christian terms this would be equivalent of putting on the Mind of Christ, the Christ Consciousness (Philippians 2:3-11) all Christians struggle to emulate. To be Christian is to be Christ-like, to allow the transformation within to overtake our bodies being filled with the Holy Spirit. But I am using Christian terms to describe a human experience, a natural experience. The label, the terms, the symbols, and story are merely the vessel into which the divine pours itself. Some may ask why would the divine bother with different types of containers, why would God allow for different religions to spring up. I believe this question is equivalent to asking why nature would bother to produce more than one type of species. The universe is infinitely creative and for the cosmos to not create diverse life would be an incredible waste of energy. The diversity of faiths along with the people who hold them are representative of that creativity.
The phrase A God shaped hole relates to the symbiotic relationship between the sinner and God described within a Christian context: what is a God shaped hole without a God to fill it, and what is God without a God shaped hole to fill? We may feel distant from the divine during times of suffering and loneliness, but it is at these times where we find the divine all around us, permeating throughout all things, all people, and all places. If God is Love manifesting itself through creation then God has never left us, nor will ever leave us.
Psalm 139: 7-10
Where can I go from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me fast.

Tea Party candidate for US Senate from Nevada, the detestable Sharron Angle, says this about Obama's health care reform:
Angle's prior aversion to government-run health care — at least for others — has been no secret. She openly touts her intent to "Repeal and replace Obamacare" on her website, and even claimed recently that such broad legislation was actually unnecessary because there was "nothing wrong with our health care system."
"Our healthcare system is the best in the world," said Angle of the American system, once rated37th-best in the world, in August. "Our doctors are the best…The access is not what is being denied."
Despite Angle's contention that access to health care is not an issue, more than 18 percent of Nevada's population is currently uninsured, nearly 3 percent higher than the national rate.
And in 2009, Angle railed against mandated health care coverage even for autism treatment and maternity leave.
"You know what I'm talking about. You're paying for things that you don't even need. They just passed the latest one, is everything that they want to throw at us now is covered under 'autism,'" Angle said, using air quotes for the neurological disorder. "So, that's a mandate that you have to pay for. How about maternity leave? I'm not going to have anymore babies, but I sure get to pay for it on my insurance. Those are the kinds of things that we want to get rid of.
Anyway, Sharron Angle receives her health insurance through the federal civil service retirement program – that's a federally-run single-payer program that you and I fund.
She's one of those tea partiers who minds the "redistribution of wealth" only when she's not the direct beneficiary.

There are three main types of skin out there: dry, combination, and oily. Oily skin is commonly associated with larger pores, a "shiny" appearance, and increased likelihood of acne.
In other words, oily skin is the worst!
This article provides information about the causes of oily skin, lifestyle habits that can make it better or make it worse, and beauty advice to help people manage oily skin.
Causes of oily skin
Is there a connection between oily skin and acne prone skin?
Of course there is.
If you think your skin seems to be oozing oil, that's because it is. Oil (called "sebum") is produced by our sebaceous glands and is pushed out through our pores. It's supposed to keep our skin supple and soft.
When your body produces too much oil, that oil sometimes gets mixed up with dirt and dead skin cells and gets stuck in your pores – this causes blackheads and other blemishes.
Is there a difference between men and women when it comes to oily skin?
Yes, that's why there are different skincare products for men and women.
Men and women have different skin, but oily skin in men is actually more common than in women (conversely, acne affects women more so than men).
A man's skin is warmer, thicker, and oilier than a woman's, which means he needs products that are better able to penetrate the skin. That's why facial cleansers and other products for men are generally harsher than similar products designed for women.
In other words – don't share your beauty products with your boyfriend.
"Seborrhea" is the medical term for oily skin. Unfortunately, the main causes behind seborrhea are 100% out of your control: hormones and genetics
Most people experience an uptick in oiliness and acne during puberty. This is caused by fluctuating hormone levels. For some people, oiliness goes away as they grow older. For others, it is a chronic problem that can be hard to treat.
Thankfully, there are plenty of things you can do on your own to manage and improve oily skin.
How to manage oily & acne-prone skin
#1 Maintain a healthy diet
You'd be surprised how many medical conditions and linked to your diet. Even acne can be caused by eating the wrong foods. To prevent oiliness and acne, stay away from the following:
- Alcohol
- Greasy foods like potato chips, pizza, and doughnuts
- Refined carbs
- Dairy
- Pastries
- Excess sugar and salt
- Foods high in saturated and trans fats
#2 Utilize homemade remedies
Oily skin home remedies are the best bet for someone who wants to get rid of oily skin naturally. And the best part – you can make virtually all home remedies with common (and inexpensive) kitchen ingredients.
A great example is the "lemon and egg white" folk remedy for oily skin. Just mix 1 teaspoon lemon juice with 1 egg white. Using your fingers, apply the mixture to your face. Wait until it dries, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Lemons have antibacterial properties (meaning they can help fight acne-causing bacteria) and are high in acidity, which makes them good for absorbing oil. Both egg whites and lemons are believed to help shrink the appearance of pores.
#3 Maintain good beauty habits
This includes choosing the right cosmetics and beauty products, altering your lifestyle and diet, and washing your face twice per day (more on this below).
#4 Visit a dermatologist
Anyone with skin problems will benefit from visiting a dermatologist. He or she can shed some light on your problems and make recommendations on things you can do to improve the appearance of your skin. In severe cases, he or she may prescribe topical or oral medication to reduce acne.
Click here to learn more about sebaceous hyperplasia, a condition that appears similar to acne.
#5 Try a beauty treatment
There are many oily face treatments out there that claim to reduce acne. These include:
- Face dry brushing and microdermabrasion
- Blue light therapy
- Chemical peel
- Laser therapy
Each person will react differently to these treatments, so it's important to speak with your dermatologist before you try anything. Some of the aforementioned treatments, like face dry brushing and blue light therapy, you can do at home.
Beauty tips for oily face
The best and easiest way to manage oily skin to find a beauty routine that works and to stick to it.
A beauty regimen for oily skin should be a combination of lifestyle choices, high-quality products, and good hygiene.
Lifestyle choices that can minimize oiliness include: washing your face frequently (but not too frequently), avoiding greasy foods, not wearing too much makeup (especially foundation), never going to sleep with your makeup on, getting adequate sleep, drinking enough water, and frequently changing your pillowcase and any towels/pads you use on your face.
Face wash
You should wash your face once in the morning and once before bedtime. It's important to use a face wash or soap designed for use on oily skin (other products can cause irritation and breakouts).
Bioré Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser ($5.36) is a good example. This gel cleaner has a chilling effect that can shrink pores, soothe irritation, and help wake you up in the morning.
Bioré features an oil-free formula that effectively removes the dirt and grime that can cause acne. It has a pleasant citrus scent and uses salicylic acid to destroy acne-causing bacteria.
More brands to consider:
- Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash w/ pink grapefruit (active ingredient salicylic acid)
- Origins Zero Oil Deep Pore Cleaner (w/ mint and saw palmetto)
- Eau Thermale Avène Cleansing Foam (active ingredient glutamic acid)
- Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Oily Skin Formula (active ingredient aloe)
- Garnier SkinActive Clean+ Shine Control Cleansing Gel (great for clearing pores)
It's important to use warm (but not hot) water when you wash your face. The heat will help open pores, remove dirt, and break down sebum. Follow up with a splash of toner or cold water to shrink pores.

Blotting sheets
When you struggle with oily skin, blotting sheets can be your best friend. Blotting sheets are small pieces of thin, absorbent paper that help remove oil from the surface of your skin. A few quick dabs and you can get rid of that dreaded "shiny" look.
Blotting sheets can help keep your skin dry and provide a "matte" look throughout the day. Remember, people with oily skin should still wash their faces with a high-quality face wash twice per day and after sweating/exercise.
Blotting sheets are cheap and easy to store in your purse. Neutrogena sells a pack of 50 for just $11.75.
Make sure to use blotting sheets gently, because rubbing can cause further irritation.
Here are a few more brands to consider:
- Boscia Fashionably Matte (great for removing oil without smudging makeup)
- Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets (plastic-like texture makes it softer and more absorbent)
- ELF Shine Eraser Oil Blotting Sheets (cheap but strong)
- NYX Blemish and Oil Control Blotting Paper (shrink pores and absorb oil; available in different types)
People with oily skin often ask is there is a way to "cure" it or to get rid of it permanently. Instead of searching for a cure-all treatment (which does not exist), we encourage you to follow the tips outlined in this article and to visit a dermatologist. In many cases, oily skin can be seriously improved with dedication and the right products.

How to Improve Posture
Having a nice slim figure means you can to wear amazing clothes. But if your posture is bad, your appearance suffers. Shapewear can improve posture so you stand straighter and look better.
Would you like to know how this can be? Well you are in luck, because this article covers exactly this issue and explains how special body contouring underwear can not only improve your figure, but also your posture for a much better look.
Stand Straight and Tall
When I was a child, I was always being reprimanded for not standing up straight. I suppose it was just a phase I was going through, but I tended to slouch a lot which meant my posture was far from perfect.
My parents and teachers were forever telling me to "stand straight and tall!"
At the time it didn't dawn on me that the way I was standing could influence the perception other people had of me. When you're young, you don't even think about such things!
But growing up through my later teenage years to adulthood, it became apparent that my appearance was everything.
And if I wanted to keep up with some of the other gorgeous girls in my class, I was going to have to eat less and exercise more!
Looking Your Best
Getting into middle age, while I managed to stay relatively slim with my weight fluctuating a few pounds over but never any more than that, being able to wear nice clothes has never really been a problem for me. But as I get older, it gets harder to lose weight once it creeps on and even a few pounds can mean going up a dress size or even two.
Once that happens, all the amazing outfits suddenly become too tight and they don't look very good when parts of the body (ahem, tummy...) start to bulge out! But something else I have noticed recently is that my posture is not as good as it should be.
That means I'm not looking my best and something needs to be done!
The Shapewear Solution
I've always eaten fairly healthily throughout my adult like (teenage years don't count!) avoiding junk food like it was poison and staying clear of most sugary, carbonated drinks. That doesn't mean I'm a saint, because I still like the odd chocolate bar or a cookie or two with my coffee, but it does mean I do a pretty good job of keeping my weight within reasonable bounds.
But even then I still needed some instant help to get me into this or that outfit for a special occasion when I didn't want anyone to know I had gained a little weight and was slouching like a young teenager again! So getting into some shapewear was a "no brainer" moment for me. The benefits of shapewear to me were two-fold.
Killing Two Birds with One Stone
The full body shapewear undergarment I chose covered all the flabby parts I wanted to cinch down an inch or so and it gives me a flatter tummy along with a nicer backside (so say the fellers!). It also allowed me to kill two birds with one stone.
That's because it also has this pulling effect on my shoulders, making me unconsciously stand straighter with shoulders back where they should be. Just that effect in its own is enough to make me stand straighter and that makes me look better, showing off my secretly artificially enhanced slim figure to its best effect!
It certainly helped to really make me look good in a slinky dress I had chosen for one particular occasion!
We're Not All the Same
Now I know this isn't for everyone. We're not all as slim as we want to be and I know some of my friends who can't keep their hands off cream cakes, chocolate bars and a certain fizzy soda pop brand that promises things go better when they drink it.
Things certainly go bigger when they drink it, that's for sure! All those extra calories have to end up somewhere and I see some of the girls with larger bellies, thighs and bottoms as a result. Their choice and their bodies.
But when they get a little envious of my slimmer figure and are dying to know how I do it, I don't mention what I have on beneath my nice outfit. That would be cruel because I know they would want to buy some too and quite frankly I can't see how they can expect anything to hide so many extra inches!
Call me old fashioned, but you are what you eat and drink and if you choose to overindulge in what makes you fat, then you are going to be fat! I firmly believe you should work on the core problem first, which is to get your weight down by cutting out all that sugar, junk and calories.
Then you can look at wearing some shapewear to pull in those last couple of inches to give you the figure you deserve for working hard by yourself to get it. Then you too can look great, be slimmer and stand with a great posture to show of your great figure.
With a little help from what's underneath your clothes, of course!

The Head of Quality Control, Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX), Dr. Khadijah Abdulaziz has disclosed that some meat sellers in parts of the country now spray dangerous and poisonous substances like sniper on meat before selling them thereby endangering the lives of unsuspecting meat consumers.
Dr. Abdulaziz made this known yesterday in Makurdi during a one-day training for women and youths from Makurdi and Guma local government areas of Benue state on commodity trading organised by NCX in collaboration with Sandstone Associates.
She lamented that the new practice was exposing Nigerians to live threatening ailments and diseases which often times lead to untimely death. According to Dr. Abdulaziz, the trend among meat sellers in many markets in the the country is that they mix dangerous chemicals like sniper in water and sprinkle it around and on the meat they intend to sell to consumers in order to chase away flies. "We all know that snipers is dangerous to the health of anyone that consumes it but meat sellers use it directly on meat products. That is why these days, if you go to some markets to buy meat, you can hardly find flies because they now spray sniper on them.

What is the Replacement Window Advisor for?
Most everyone agrees that home improvements add value both for the present owners and for when it's time to sell. If you're taking the plunge and replacing your home windows – make a good decision! Whether you're trying to reduce your high energy bills, need to update the look of your home, make old windows operable again, or would like to increase the value, you'll achieve those goals. Is it cheap? Not usually. If you plan on living in your home look for a durable product like Wood clad windows or fiberglass. If you are looking for economy windows and don't plan on living in your current home much longer then look to vinyl. If you are in between and not sure there are composites and higher end vinyl that you can look at too. Whatever your need is currently you are reading this because you may need to do something about your existing windows or doors, whether you want to or not.
Have you thought about the process of actually replacing the windows? If you've hired a window professional to come to your home, you'll want to take some time to research them and find out who best serves your needs. That is not always the easiest thing to do. There are a lot of companies to choose from. How long have they been around? what is Angie's List reputation? Do they have insurance? You get the picture.
If your existing frames and sills are still sound and square, you'll save money on materials and labor by using partial replacement units. They're also known as "pocket replacements" and fit into the existing frames. Otherwise, you'll need full-replacement windows. These include the frame, sill, jambs, and usually what's known as a nailing flange, which attaches the window to the outside wall around the opening.
There is a lot to think about when researching windows and doors for your home. This website is more information to help you learn about windows and doors and you help your window professional be as efficient as possible.

Pasquale Caselle, International Creative Director for IT&LY Hairfashion North America created I Colori (Colours) using IT&LY Hairfashion,
According to Pasquale, "Colour is how we view this beautiful planet. Our lives are surrounded by it and as artists we draw inspiration from it." Below, Pasquale shares the steps needed to achieve the look he is calling I Colori:
Get the Look
1. Starting from the back of the head at the nape area, take slices that are thin but about 3 to 4 inches wide (do not weave like regular highlights).
Use IT&LY's Easily Blonde lightener mixed with 40 volume Oxily Developer to pre-lighten.
Work your way up the head to the crown doing the slices in a chevron pattern (zig-zag).
Then, from the front area to the crown, do the slices on a diagonal from the temple to the ear area keeping bleach application about 1/2 inch away from roots all over the head.
With this technique, the back area will be lighter than the front; this is the result you want to achieve so the toner applied later will achieve a brighter and more vibrant colour at the back for tonality.
2. While the bleach is processing, mix IT&LY's Aquarely colour in 5CP with 20 volume (1:3 ratio) and apply to the root area all over the head.
3. Once the bleach and Aquarely colour has processed, remove the foiling and wash the entire head thoroughly and towel dry.
4. With the back slices lighter than the front (pieces should be a pale platinum colour) Pasquale applied IT&LY's Light+Passion toner.
In bowl #1, mix IT&LY's Light+Passion Intense Red with 10 volume Oxily Developer.
In bowl #2, mix IT&LY's Light+Passion Violet with 10 volume Oxily Developer.
Begin by applying the colour to the lightened areas only using the Light+Passion colours and working them from the nape to the front of the head, alternating between the Violet and Intense Red.
5. Allow to process 20 to 30 minutes.
6. After processing, wash hair with IT&LY's Purity Design Shampoo and Conditioner and after towel drying, apply IT&LY's Purity water drops for beautiful shiny hair and style.

Flights to Bratislava: Flights from the UK to Slovakia
Airlines flying to Bratislava from which airports in the UK?
Since emerging as a popular short-break destination for British travellers looking for an unspoiled alternative to neighbouring Prague, a number of routes from the UK to Bratislava have opened up.
From London, direct flights to the Slovak capital are available from both Luton and Stansted airports, with travellers therefore able to compare airline ticket prices to find the best price out of the capital.
At the same time, competition from the Midlands is also strong, with direct flights to Bratislava leaving from Birmingham and East Midlands airports.
From England, flights are also available from Bristol and Manchester airports, while flyers north of the border have the option of departing from Edinburgh.
Airlines flying from the UK to Bratislava
Despite the wide range of departure airports on offer to UK flyers, just two airlines currently offer direct international flights to Bratislava.
Low-cost carrier Ryanair offers by far the widest variety of flight options, departing to the Slovak capital from London, the Midlands, the south-west of England and Scotland.
At the same time, fellow budget airline Sky Europe offers direct flights from both Luton and Manchester, with this helping to keep competition high and airline ticket prices down, particularly for those passengers able to take advantage of e-tickets.
Where is Bratislava in the Slovak Republic?
Situated in the south-west of the Slovak Republic, Bratislava straddles the mighty Danube River.
The capital, which is also by some way the largest city in the country, is located right on the borders with Austria and Hungary, with Bratislava and Vienna Europe's closest neighbouring capitals, at just 37 miles apart.
Any stopovers?
With flights between the UK and Bratislava taking less than two hours, no stopovers are currently offered on international flights.
However, the city's proximity to a number of other top European highlights, including the cities of Prague, Vienna and Budapest, means that many travellers opt to use it as a base for a tour of the region, with a boat trip down the Danube extremely popular during the summer months.
Things to see and do in Bratislava
As with Prague, Bratislava offers the visitor a stunning array of Medieval architecture, with many of the most significant buildings having escaped the ravages of the 20th century wars relatively unscathed.
Fortunately for tourists, most of the highlights are concentrated in the Old Town, including the Town Hall complex, which dates back around 600 years, as well as the University Library, the majestic Grassalkovich Palace, the Archiepiscopal Palace and the imposing Gothic splendour of St Martin's Cathedral.
Other top attractions include the Bratislava Castle, which looms over the city, as well as the old Jewish Cemetery, both of which can be easily visited from a majority of the best Bratislava hotels.
For those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of what is also a dynamic, modern European capital, a number of national parks and forests are just an hour outside of the centre, while at night, visitors have the option of sampling some of Slovakia's famed
beers, or else exploring the city's still-strong folk traditions, including dancing and music.

Aboriginal Art in Northern Queensland, Australia
While there has been little of worth to see in any of the "galleries" in Port Douglas, Cairns, Palm Cove or in the Daintree Village, Mother Nature has provided us with more wildlife than I have seen in a lifetime.

genetically enhanced fast growing, hard-wood trees!
EGTY trading volume is beginning to surge with landslide Announcement.
The value of this Stock appears poised for growth! This one will not
remain on the ground floor for long.
Keep Reading!!!!
-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.
These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.
Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.
the wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.
Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.
Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.
Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Hey, you have a great blog here! I'm definitely going to bookmark you!
I have a art website art print on demand
That promotes my very good friend Mark Connors artwork that pretty much covers art print on demand
articles and other related themes.
Mark's work is the produce of his passion for art, when looking at every piece the attention to detail is nothing short of spectacular and many a person will notice different details upon each viewing, they are truly a joy to observe. There are many talented artists around the world but few achieve the effect in their work as Mark does, when looking at his work that there is more than just a painting or a illustration there is a element of fantasy behind each piece that brings the inner child out of you and draws you in.
Come and check it out if you get time :-)

excellent blog you have here, will be adding it to my favourites! I have a website on original signed art work
and such subjects as original signed art work
with many articles like - If you don't have at least one piece of fine art in your home, then you just have no idea what you are missing out on. Whether an original or reproduction piece, fine art adds warmth, beauty and interest to every room. So why is it that people tend to spend lavishly on furniture, carpets and accessories, but do not provide in their budget for the piece that could be the focal point of the room?
We are indeed fortunate now to have a wide range of fine art available to us on the Internet. In just a few short hours, you can browse museums and galleries around the world to find the fine art painting you love. Reproductions of major artwork are available in several formats, from inexpensive prints to hand-painted oils. All at the touch of a button. You can also find original fine art online, often very inexpensively. Artists who have not yet become famed can exhibit their work at online galleries and reach a much wider audience than would be otherwise possible in smaller bricks and mortar galleries. Bringing a new piece of art into your home is always exciting, but imagine how much more intriguing it would be if it was something you'd discovered for yourself through your own research.
While prints will brighten up a room, you should also consider investing in a real oil painting or another form of original on canvas. Since the Internet allows galleries to show their work to a wide audience with little overhead, real paintings can be had for very reasonable prices. And you'll find the texture and substance of a painting as opposed to a print to be well worth the added expense. Home decor is a challenge for many home owners so the hardest part is not necessarily coming up with the theme, but tying it all together and making all of the colors, textures and themes combine. In order to decorate your home successfully there are a few things for you to consider.
First decide what your budget is. Having a budget will help you apportion money to the right areas and ensure that you have enough to finish the job. Next choose a style and make a plan. Decide the style of theme you want for your room or home decor. Do you want a modern or oriental tone? Once this is established you can pick the colors you want to use. Do you want the room to be calming or energizing? Colors have a very influential impact on our moods and feelings. You can then decide on the furniture and accessories you wish to use. This is a good time to select the art or prints you wish to feature. Make sure that the print is reflective of the theme of the room. Do not buy art just because it ties the colors in the room together. Art is a powerful medium that is used to invoke emotion, feeling, and thought so the emotion the art projects should be aligned with the feeling of the room.
take a look if you get the chance:-)
