Just a quick drawing I drew today and thought I should get done. It's been a while since I have drawn a simple drawing :3 I really like this one and think it's adorable, and I think Banette really suits Jeff. If you guys don't get the image, you probably don't play Pokemon much or you don't know Banette's summary. c: But I just enjoy the image! I hope you all do, too.
I can see why Banette would work well with Jeff.
My favorite Pokemon AND my favorite Creepypasta, together in the same pic?

Android Becomes Number 2 Mobile OS on the Market
Open source, Linux-based mobile operating system Android became the second most popular mobile OS for the first quarter of 2010.
NPD wireless market research revealed that, based on the number of consumer sales for Q1 2010, open source mobile operating system Android is now the second most popular OS with 28 percent of the market share. Research In Motion's proprietary OS is still on the majority of mobile devices with 36 percent and Apple's proprietary iPhone OS is the third most popular with 21 percent.
"As in the past, carrier distribution and promotion have played a crucial role in determining smartphone market share," said Ross Rubin, executive director of industry analysis for NPD.
Rubin attributes a recent Verizon Wireless promotion that expanded a buy-one-get-one offer to include all smartphones. Solid sales of Motorola's Droid line of phones (all of which run Android) also helped the open source OS surge in popularity.
This news comes on the same day that wireless carrier Sprint announced that the Nexus One, an Android smartphone branded by Google, would not be carried by the mobile phone service provider. Sprint will instead focus on the HTC Evo 4G. The good news for Google: both phones are powered by Android.

Scalp ezcema, seborrhoeic dermatitits and dandruff is a condition that plagues many people, young or old..
Scalp eczema can start in children as young as one year old and can continue well into adulthood. This is particularly distressing for the child's confidence and self-esteem. Other children who may not understand the condition may bully or make fun of the child; other parents, ignorant about it, may think it's contagious and exclude the afflicted child from their own kid's social events. In addition, the parents may experience disapproving looks from other parents or adults who think 'Tut, tut – that child is neglected by his/her parents. Why can't the parents do something about it?'
The eczema produces reddened inflammed sores that periodically ooze, build up of dry scales, persistent itching, painful lesions, severe scarring and permanent damage to the hair follicles resulting in hair loss. It is not a pretty sight to see a young child walking around with patches of hair on their head.
Eczema is an illness caused by toxaemia – not surprising given the amount of preservatives, hormones and additives in modern diet & processed foods. .
Children and adults who suffer from scalp eczema should have their hair treated like fine silk – with utmost gentle care, using the simplest and most natural of regimes. Pre-disposition to eczema & seb derm tends to be genetic ad run through families. All it takes are the right sort of conditions (wrong hair care products or wrong sorts of food) to trigger flare ups.
When the right diet is adopted, including eliminating triggers, and the right sort of products are used, eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis can be very well controlled.
Here are some of my recommendations
- ……..chemically process the hair by perms, relaxers, dyes – you will only increase damage to the hair follicles.
- ………..put in tight styles – no tiny braids, tiny cornrows, or hair extensions – absolutely not!
- …….wash the hair with harsh shampoos that contain any form of sulfates – Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) is a chemical compound actually used to clean car engines! It's certainly too harsh to use on the hair and especially on sensitive hair & scalp affected by eczema and seb derm. This Scalp Therapy Hair Cleanser is the best shampoo alternative I know for scalp eczema and seborrhoeic dermatitis. It doesn't contain any chemicals or soap, which can worse or trigger scalp problems. Instead, it uses gentle plant saponins to clean the hair, mildly exfoliate the scalp (by easing off debris and build-up), and heal the scalp. It was made particularly for scalp eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, dandruff ad other scalp issues and it works really well.
- ………..grease the hair and scalp – EVER! Grease products contain chemical irritants which worsen the condition. I would highly recommend Scalp Therapy Soothing Balm. It's made with just gentle plant ingredients, specifically for scalp eczema, dandruff, itching and seborrhoeic dermatitis. If you have bald/thinning patches and hair loss as a result of the scalp problems, this balm will also regenerate hair growth.
- ………go organic when you can and eliminate toxins from your diet.
- ………shellfish can sometimes be a trigger, so eliminate this from your diet as well if you have been diagnosed as been allergic.
- ………cut down on processed sugar & sugary drinks – use natural alternatives such as honey.
- ……….include lots of raw fruits and especially vegetables in the diet
- ………wash your hair with the unisex Scalp Therapy Hair Cleanser, formulated for seb derm & scalp eczema.. This not only clarifies the hair of excess product build up (which can exarcebate the eczema), but it also balances the PH level of the hair, heals the eczema, treats the scalp and promotes hair growth.
- ……..drink a detox tea – a safe blend for all (from babies to adults, and even pregnant women) is nettle leaf, dandelion root and dandelion leaf tea. Make an infusion of the plants and drink at least a cup 3 days a week. Add about 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the cup. It's delicious, sweetened with honey. It's rich in essential nutrients, iron, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It eliminates toxins from the body, balances the PH level of the internal system (including the kidneys and liver) and calms the body' hyperactive immune response. It also nourishes the glands and entire body system.
The holistic, chemical-free TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy products are all natural, so there are no artificial fillers to bulk out the products. This makes them so effective that a) you will only need to use a little at a time, which means they last so much longer and b) you will notice a very quick improvement to the condition of your hair & scalp. Oh yeah, and they ship worldwide for a flat rate too.
PS the products can be used from age 2 year old and upwards.The products can also be used on ALL hair types and is suitable for both men and women.
Here are the results of using TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy Products on the hair of a white (caucasian man) who suffered from scalp eczema and seborrheic dermatitis
Pictures from left to right:
- Left Picture – before using TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy hair products
- Middle Picture – after just 2 weeks use of TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy hair products
- Right Picture – after just 4 weeks use of TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy hair products
here are the results of using TLC Naturals Scalp Therapy Products on the hair of a black woman with natural who also experienced scalp problems, seb derm hair loss and slow growth.

Forget about buying season passes and waiting in lift lines when the whole mountain will be tracked out in two hours, anyway. The Voile Artisan Split Board makes you a rider and a lift at the same time, so you can go where nobody else can go, and all for the price of a few calories.
- Voile's hybrid rocker/camber provides tons of flotation while maintaining edge control on hardpack
- Radial sidecut for even, predictable turns on any type of snow
- Universal split board binding interface will accommodate any standard binding type
- Twin shape for maximum on-snow versatility
- Climbing wires included
- Reviews
What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
Great factory split
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I purchased the Artisan after my old splitboard was stolen and I definitely think I made the right choice. I spent a month up in Alaska with this board and it definitely performed. Great in tour mode and I didn't notice any issues on the uphill with their rocker/camber profile. In my opinion it does run a little bit on the softer side (not a soft board by any means though!) which is why I went with the larger of the two sizes I was debating between. Super fun board and it definitely held up to some abuse!
Sick board from Splitboard originators!
I have had a blast riding the Artisan splitboard this past season. It handles everything from the deepest pow to hard pack ice. Its nice to have a board that rides easily in steep tight trees, yet holds a good line when the speed starts to pick up. The hybrid camber/rocker profile is forgiving but very responsive allowing for every kind of riding style.
If you enjoy snowboarding on fresh snow, exploring new places, and getting away from the big crowds at the ski resort, i highly recommend splitboarding! It's a whole lot easier then boot-packing with your board on your back!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Really impressed by this board. Finally I feel Voile has come through with something that doesn't feel like a 2X4 strapped to your feet. The switch from skin to board has become easier with the now flush interface. In ride mode I feel this is Voile's closest production to a resort board yet. Light and easy to rely on the tail with a lot of mobility throughout the deck which is a far cry from the split-decision of yore. The board also boasts quick and precise turning for run outs where it counts. Thank you for listening to your riders via feedback or market demand.
Does this set up include the Voile universal...
Does this set up include the Voile universal splitboard hardware, or does that need to be purchased separately?

I use GoldFinger
open your rom, then go to open table... name the .txt file (above) a .tbl and open it...
then jump to the offset for the credits and just scroll down... hex on the left text on the right
now with those you will be limited on space you dont get the extra free space due to the leafgreen name... but with a bit of work im sure you can augment it to say whatever youd like.
I just got a save state right beforethe final battle with your rival and beat him over and over to test it... you can even do a savestate near the end or slightly after your fight with him and just keep reloading it to watch the credits...
I would keep my savestate before the credits tho so they are reloaded each time. if your savestate is during the credits it may not load your changes...

By Sara Murray of the Wall Street Journal
Workers who lose jobs in a recession suffer nearly twice the hit to future earnings compared to those who are displaced in more prosperous times, a new study shows.
Employees who held their jobs for three or more years and were let go in a mass layoff saw the value of their future earnings decline by 11% in an average year compared to those who kept their jobs, according to a paper released Thursday at the Brookings Institution by Columbia University's Till von Wachter and the University of Chicago's Steven Davis. Similar workers who were let go in a mass layoff during a recession saw the value of their future earnings drop nearly twice as much, 19%.
The paper notes that "workers who have experienced job displacements events since 2008 are likely to experience unusually severe and persistent earnings losses."
The researchers tracked workers over time using Social Security records, covering 31% to 36% of all workers covered between 1980 and 2003. They focused on workers 50 years old and younger. When firms with 50 or more employees experienced a lasting drop in employment of at least 30% in two years, it was counted as a mass layoff.
When a worker was laid off, his earnings dropped steeply at the time of the layoff and eventually experienced a kind of recovery. But "The earnings losses do not completely fade even after 20 years," the paper states. That's true even when the economy is doing well. When the economy is performing poorly, the initial earnings loss is steeper.
Workers who were laid off in recessions experienced, on average, $112,095 in income losses — three years of pre-layoff earnings. Those laid off in expansionary times experienced a $65,424 loss.

Community members may share a common ethnic heritage, language, religion, occupation, or geographic region. These vital and constantly reinvigorated artistic traditions are shaped by values and standards of excellence that are passed from generation to generation, most often within family and community, through demonstration, conversation, and practice. Genres of artistic activity include, but are not limited to, music, dance, crafts, and oral expression.

MORE
Amargue Bachata Quintet with Andre Veloz
Dominican bachata
New York City is home to the largest Dominican population in the United States, and a new bachata star, Andre Veloz, has emerged from this thriving community.

DJ Grandmaster Flash
hip hop
"Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge … it's like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder how I keep from going under," MC Melle Mel rapped over DJ Grandmaster Flash's turntables in 1982. The song "The Message" catapulted Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five into America's consciousness – they were fed up with being marginalized. Out of this visceral energy, clever rhyming, and turntable spinning, hip hop was born. DJ Grandmaster Flash is one of its creators, a living legend of hip hop. MORE
Dudley Laufman & His Barn Dance Band
New England barn dances & contra dance
For nearly 70 years, Dudley Laufman has called country dances – in fact, longtime residents of New England tend to call contra and barn dance gatherings "Dudley Dances." Referred to as the "Johnny Appleseed" of country dancing, Laufman was the charismatic figure at the center of the country dance revival of the 1960s and '70s. MORE
Ensemble Shanbehzadeh
traditional music & dance from the Persian Gulf
Feedel Band
Known to many as "Little Ethiopia," Washington, D.C., is the second largest Ethiopian city in the world.A number of master Ethiopian musicians live in the metro area, including major stars from the golden age of Ethiojazz, one of Ethiopia's defining musical sounds in the 20th century. Having played with these legends for years, the founding members of Feedel Band have stepped to the forefront of the District's Ethiopian music scene, bringing the sounds of classic Ethiojazz to one of the most prominent immigrant communities in the nation's capital and beyond.

MORE
Ongwehoñwe Singers & Dancers
Haudenosaunee song & dance
The Ongwehoñwe Singers & Dancers hail from an area in present-day New York State that was, several centuries ago, the heart of the once powerful Iroquois Confederacy. The troupe is comprised of young people who began learning traditional social dances as small children. Now entering adulthood, they formed the Ongwehoñwe Singers & Dancers to share and educate others about their culture with the goal of strengthening and preserving it for the coming generations.
Reverend John Wilkins
blues & gospel
Reverend John Wilkins' music is a potent blend of soul music from Memphis, his hometown, with sounds from the North Mississippi hill country just across the state line where his familial and musical roots are deep. Wilkins soaked up hill country blues and the pre-blues sounds of fife and drum music at community picnics and house parties, but his most important influence was his father, a bluesman, gospel singer, and minister. MORE
Riyaaz Qawwali
South Asian qawwali
Qawwali is the improvisational vocal tradition of Sufism, a mystical, meditative form of Islam. Originating seven centuries ago, it consists of sung poetry with verses that explore the meaning of divine love. Vocals start slow, singing of love, devotion, and gratitude. As the music builds through repetition, singers engage in call and response, and the beat of clapping and the tabla hand drum grow quicker. At its height, the music moves audiences and performers together into ecstatic trance. Based in Texas, the members of Riyaaz Qawwali, all of South Asian heritage, are intent on sharing this meditative, transfixing, and joyous music with American audiences. MORE
Shemekia Copeland
Sleepy LaBeef
Standing 6 feet 7 inches tall, and with a booming baritone voice, Sleepy LaBeef is a larger-than-life, first-generation rock and roller. The youngest of 10 children, he was born (just six months after Elvis) in Smackover, Arkansas, only 30 miles from the Louisiana line, and was raised on a melon farm. This icon of rockabilly music started touring when he was old enough to drive, and he's never been off the road for more than a few weeks since. MORE
Sun Ra Arkestra
big band free jazz
Part visionary jazz ensemble, part cosmic myth, and part communal living experiment, the Sun Ra Arkestra has seemingly explored the entire history of American jazz.

Given a set of points on a plane, find the shortest line segment formed by any two of these points.
How can I do that? The trivial way is obviously to calculate each distance, but I need another algorithm to compare.
Given a set of points on a plane, find the shortest line segment formed by any two of these points.
How can I do that? The trivial way is obviously to calculate each distance, but I need another algorithm to compare.
The problem can be solved in O(n log n) time using the recursive divide and conquer approach, e.g., as follows:
I can't immediately think of a quicker alternative than the brute force technique (although there must be plenty) but whatever algorithm you choose don't calculate the distance between each point. If you need to compare distances just compare the squares of the distances to avoid the expensive and entirely redundant square root.
One possibility would be to sort the points by their X coordinates (or the Y -- doesn't really matter which, just be consistent). You can then use that to eliminate comparisons to many of the other points. When you're looking at the distance between point[i] and point[j], if the X distance alone is greater than your current shortest distance, then point[j+1]...point[N] can be eliminated as well (assuming
If your points start out as polar coordinates, you can use a variation of the same thing -- sort by distance from the origin, and if the difference in distance from the origin is greater than your current shortest distance, you can eliminate that point, and all the others that are farther from (or closer to) the origin than the one you're currently considering.
This has a whole big bunch of different solutions. Kinda neat to see how many ways there are to the same answer.
There is a standard algorithm for this problem, here you can find it: http://www.cs.mcgill.ca/~cs251/ClosestPair/ClosestPairPS.html
And here is my implementation of this algo, sorry it's without comments:
You can extract the closest pair in linear time from the Delaunay triangulation and conversly from Voronoi diagram.
There is relatively simple line sweep algorithm that can find the closest pair of points in O(nlogn) time. This article has a short explanation.

Conclusions of a
British Medical Association Review
of Guidelines on Euthanasia
The council of the BMA has approved The Euthanasia Report, prepared by a working party, which was chaired by Sir Henry Yellowlees. 1 ... The conclusions in the report are reproduced here.
Some patients see death as the fitting conclusion to the events of their life. These people may wish neither to hasten their death nor to delay it. For them, death is a mystery which they approach with tranquility. There are limits to medical science and it is inappropriate for doctors to insist on intruding in these circumstances.
There is a distinction between an active intervention by a doctor to terminate life and a decision not to prolong life (a nontreatment decision). In both of these categories there are occasions on which a patient will ask for one of these courses of action to be taken and times when the patient could say but does not. There are also occasions where the patient is incompetent to decide.
An active intervention by anybody to terminate another person's life should remain illegal. Neither doctors nor any other occupational group should be placed in a category which lessens their responsibility for their actions.____________________

Department of Biology and ChemistryMenu
Additional Preparation for Health Sciences Careers and Testing
The admission exams for advanced studies are not to be taken lightly. These exams cover material from most of your courses beginning your first semester. Be sure to keep all of your notes and texts for additional study and review prior to taking these exams. The earlier you being to prepare the better off you will be. All of these programs are highly competitive and you will need to both maintain a high GPA, and score well on these exams to be considered for admissions.
For careers in Medicine and Dentistry you will also want to look at the "Collaborative Programs" available to TAMIU students some of which can be applied for as early as your senior year in High School. There are also a number of study guides and programs available for students interested in these fields.
You need to be sure to register for your exam well in advance of the application period. Most students will take these exams during school year within one year of the application deadlines. Be sure to check the deadlines for individual schools or programs you intend to apply to.
Web Links for the Admission Exams for Health Sciences Programs
Medical College Admission Test (MCAT)
Dental Admission Test (DAT)
Pharmacy College Admission Test (PCAT)
Additional Preparation for Advanced Studies
For all students interested in the Health Sciences it is important for you to be well prepared for the challenges before you. You need to take the initiative to get to know your instructors and take advantages of research opportunities related to your field. Building relationships with your professors is important and they can assist you when you need a letter of recommendation. Be sure to research your field and potential schools that you are interested in. Be sure to note any organizations you can become involved with and opportunities for students.
You will need to demonstrate your commitment to the field by participating in pre-health organizations on your campus. At TAMIU we have the TriBeta/Biology Club, an American Medical Students Association Chapter (AMSA), and the Pre-Dental Club for you to consider. All of these organizations are very active in our community, and you will be able to meet other students with similar interests. Through these types of organizations you will establish a record of service, extracurricular involvement, potentially leadership roles, and tutoring. You will also be better able to balance your academic and personal life.
For any career in the health sciences you need to be prepared for the challenges before you. Though coursework and exam preparation is important, advanced studies in the Health Sciences are unique with difficult professional challenges which cannot be duplicated in a classroom. One of the most important steps you can take in preparing for an advanced degree in the health science is to gain experience in your chosen field. Experience can be either in the form of a paid position or a shadowing/volunteer experience.
Medicine and Dentistry
If you are interested in either medicine or dentistry speak with local practitioners about their careers and profession to gain insight into your career of choice. You may also be able to shadow these individuals. Shadowing will allow you to better understand the day-to-day activities of a medical professional and allow insight into your career of choice.
Tips for shadowing:
- Use local connections: Whether it is working with your family physician or a connection from the university, you will need to actively seek out these opportunities.
- Be flexible for time: Be conscientious of the individual's times. You will need to work with their schedule, which may include early morning rounds or weekend rounds. Remember that they are providing you an outstanding opportunity. Given these constraints you may choose to do this over the summer so that it will not interfere with your course work.
- Bring a notebook: This will allow you to take notes during rounds for things you have questions about. Save your questions until the rounds are over, this time is about the patient's care, you are only an observer. Also, feel free to have questions ready for students you encounter or work with during this time. They can help you understand the process of becoming a doctor/dentist.
- Respect the patient's privacy: Do not takes notes on the specific patients, and be understanding if an individual patient does not want you in their room. These individuals have a right to their privacy. You will also need to look over and sign forms for HIPPA stating that you will respect and maintain the patient's privacy.
- Take time for reflection: If you are shadowing over a period of time be sure to reflect on the activities of each day. You may find you have more questions which you can ask at an appropriate time. You also need to reflect as to how you are feeling about the experience.
- Be sure to follow up after shadowing: You were a guest of the physician during rounds, so it is always good to follow up with a thank you to the doctor. Professionally this is the appropriate thing to do, and in addition it may lead to a long standing relationship with the physician and future opportunities.
For those interested in a career in pharmacology you can also gain valuable experiences through both volunteer and/or work experiences. Be prepared to volunteer at a local hospital to better understand patient care. You can also gain valuable experience working at a community pharmacy. You will be able to discover first-hand the glimpse of a pharmacist in action. At times you will be able to work directly with the pharmacist in a manner similar to shadowing.
Working directly in a pharmacy, you will learn the laws governing various forms of medication, how to check if there are conflicts in medications prescribed to a particular patient, gain a better understanding of the labels associated with medications and the general activities of a pharmacist. Be sure to take the time to ask questions and take notes when working with the pharmacists. Again, you will need to respect the privacy of patients. In all health sciences, the patient's rights must be protected at all times.
Physical Therapy
For those interested in a career in physical therapy you can gain valuable experiences through both volunteer and/or work experiences. Be prepared to volunteer at a local hospital to better understand patient care or sports therapy clinic. You will be able to discover first-hand the glimpse of a physical therapist in action. At times you will be able to work directly with the physical therapist or athletic trainer in a manner similar to shadowing. Work study in an athletic training department can also be a great learning tool for a student.
At TAMIU the Head Athletic Trainer is Ernst Feisner who covers all of TAMIU's sports and student-athletes during season and off-season. The department is vital to student-athletes in respect to injury prevention and rehabilitation of injuries. To contact Ernst Feisner about work study or volunteering you can email him at email@example.com or call his office at 956-326-2905.
Resume Tips
It is imperative for students to create a resume for not only schools applying to but also in applying for positions in the career workforce. There are many different formats and designs for resumes but they all should have the basic categories listed in them including:
1. Contact section: Who are you and how can you be reached?
2. Objective statement: What do you want to do?
3. Education section: What have you learned?
4. Experience/Employment section: What can you do? What have you done?
5. Professional activities and accomplishments: How have you been recognized?
6. Miscellaneous: What else do they want to know about you?
1. Contact Information
Begin your resume with your name by capitalizing or using bold type. Include street address, city, state, and zip code. Include phone number(s) where you can be reached weekdays, 9am-5pm. Designate your home phone with an "H," and work number with "W," or a "Messages" number.
2. Career/Job Objective
The purpose of the objective statement is to inform the reader of your career goals and qualifications. The statement should be written specifically enough to let the reader know that you have a focus to your job search.
3. Educational Highlights
This section is most effective when you have experiences from your education that are impressive and/or directly relate to your objective. Adding this section is useful when you have developed skills and specific knowledge through your education rather than work experience. This section can be used to highlight coursework, research, or special knowledge that complements your objective.
An alternative to highlighting courses is to list the skills and knowledge acquired through important courses and research.
Summary information about your undergraduate and graduate education should be included in your resume. List the name and location of the school, time period or date of degree, the degree received, and academic honors, e.g. Phi Beta Kappa, significant scholarships or fellowships.
Start with your most recent degree or the program in which you are currently enrolled. List other degrees or relevant education in reverse chronological order.
Highlight your degree by using bold type, capital letters or underlining.
If the degree is relevant to your job objective, begin with degree and emphasis, followed by university, location of university, and date of graduation or anticipated date of graduation. Example: M.P.A., Masters of Public Administration, George Washington University, Washington, DC, May 1995.
If you are an entry level candidate or recent graduate and have a high GPA, include it on your resume. You may want to highlight your GPA on a new line, or in an educational highlights section.
4. Employment and/or Experience Summary
A brief summary of qualifications can condense an extensive background by emphasizing experiences and accomplishments in brief phrases. The qualifications summary is accomplishment-oriented and provides an overview of your work experience.
In general, you should list, in successive order for each position you have held, your employer, position title, dates (year to year), a brief description of your position, and accomplishments.
Begin with your current/most recent position and work backward, chronologically. Devote more space to recent employment.
Follow job title and organizational information with the organization's city and state.
Use the first and last month and year to describe dates of employment.
Within each listed position, stress the major accomplishments and responsibilities that demonstrate your competency. It is not necessary to include all responsibilities, as they will be assumed by employers.
One-page resumes are preferred for entry-level positions.
Two-Three page resumes are preferred for experienced persons.
Include research positions held, including the professor who was your supervisor, project title, and duration.
Include internships, location, responsibilities, supervisor name and duration.
5. Professional Activities and Accomplishments
This part of your resume offers you the opportunity to provide insight into your career development. You should be selective and complete, listing such items as:
Memberships in professional associations and/or clubs within the university. Be sure to list the offices held.
- Honors received
- Major articles or publications you have written.
- Volunteer activities
- Shadowing experiences
For more information see: http://www.govtjob.net/ResumePrepTip.htm
Asking for Letters of Recommendation
When asking for a letter of recommendation you want to be sure that you know the professor you are requesting the letter from, and to ask if they are willing to write you a positive letter of recommendation. Most professors will let you know if they do not feel they can do this. There are a few tips for helping them write you the strongest letter possible:
- Ask professors you have worked with directly (in laboratory courses, small classes, research mentors, or whom you feel you have a connection from extracurricular activities).
- Give them at least 2 weeks' notice; this will give them time to fit it into their schedule without rushing it.
- Give them all the information they need.
- Name, address and due date for the letter
- Purpose for the letter (internship, graduate program, scholarship etc.)
- Any forms they need to fill out (TMDSAS has a specific form for recommenders)
- Notice if they will be receiving an email to fill out an electronic form for you
- Copy of your resume
- Follow-up before the letter is due. Do not be a pest about this, but an email reminder would not be a bad idea.

Hey all,
I am looking for a basic hardtail mountain bike that will take me around campus for around 200 bucks. I was looking at the Diamondback Outlook for 189, Diamondback Sorrento for 269, Iron Horse Maverick 1.5 for 249, Specialized Hardrock XC for 300, Schwinn Ranger Target Brand bicycle for 170. How about the 80 dollar dual suspension bike from Wal-mart?
Which one of these or any others would give me the BEST bang for the buck. I am willing to spend 300 bucks for a bike but don't want to if it isn't that much better than like a 250 bike, you know. What will give me the best value bike.
I will only use it to ride on campus on sidewalks and some grass if I'm bored. Just a general commute bike. Spending lowest is best, if anyone has any recommendations for like something best value, I would buy. I can buy used but I just can't find any used ones around where I live.
Where can I get the best price for these bikes online or instore as well? I went to my local Dick's sporting goods and they were running a sale but the bikes were still expensive.

SPF and Aging
A good SPF product is a skin care essential, but clients often struggle with finding the right formula. Here is how to help clients choose the perfect SPF products for their skin at every age.
20's: Since oil production is still high, skin may be breakout prone. Clients need a daily SPF formula that does not clog pores or contribute to comedones; and fragrance, color, Isopropyl Myristate, Lanolin and Mineral Oil should all be avoided. Suggest a lightweight SPF that helps combat and treat breakout prone skin and soak up excess oil, and add an eye treatment with SPF to your clients' regimens to prevent future ultraviolet (UV) damage like crow's feet.
30's: Recommend a tinted moisturizer! Multi benefit, 3-in-1 products with a wash of color, hydration and built-in broad spectrum SPF are ideal. Another option is to customize your clients' moisturizers by mixing in a SPF booster. Look for the latest Oleosome technology that also acts as an emulsifier and allows for a higher concentration of sunscreen ingredients without the irritation.
40's: Signs of aging and hyperpigmentation are more evident in your 40s, so SPF30 or higher will best address firmness, elasticity and age-related triggers like reactive oxygen species (ROS). Clients can layer an age-fighting skin primer with peptides, Pearl Powder and SPF30 to help combat harmful rays while smoothing lines.
50's and up: Skin is significantly drier and more sensitive in your 50s, so a chemical SPF might not be an option. Suggest an ultra-sensitive SPF30 that has physical sunscreen ingredients like Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, as well as built-in calming complexes to soothe skin. If your clients' skin is very dry, recommend an appropriate moisturizer under which they can layer SPF.

Beauty Sleep – Myth or Truth?
This topic has always been one of some debate, from a personal perspective it was just one of the many ploys that my mother used to coax me to go to bed when I was a wee one! Today we know more about what actually happens to us when we sleep and the consequences of not getting enough quality shut eye. From credible research that links sleep deprivation to obesity to the abundance of apps that measure how many times we roll over, sleep is a hot topic and big business… Here's what we know about sleep and the skin, and what happens when you don't get enough!
It's Day Job
In the daytime, the skin is very active fighting off potential invaders like bacteria and viruses while also neutralizing unstable molecules that cause havoc on cells. These are generated by UV, chemical exposure, smoke, stress, unhealthy diets and pollution. Just another reason why sunscreen is a must and preferably one with built in antioxidant technology. It's not only you that has to work during the day: your skin has a long list of job responsibilities, too.
At night the skin switches to clean up and repair mode while you rest, new skin cells replace damaged cells and rejuvenation takes place. In fact, cell regeneration increases by double at night and production of collagen also escalates. To help enhance this process, use or prescribe specialized overnight products, specifically those with microencapsulated Retinol and designer peptides that work on repairing skin. As the skin is clean and not in defense mode, it's more readily able to absorb these helpful ingredients. Most people do best with about 7 hours sleep. Well rested skin looks exactly that — well rested, good tone, plump, fresh, hydrated and bright.
Burning the Candle
On the flip side, lack of sleep can be detrimental to both the skin and body. The body uses sleep time for internal housekeeping – processing nutrients, detoxifying, renewing and recharging. If your body is chronically starved for sleep, the effects will eventually become visibly and physically noticeable. Signs like slow healing breakouts or telltale dark circles and puffiness under the eyes are going to give you away, you'll feel tired and look tired.
Long Term? Think Zombie Skin!
Something every party girl needs to know is that when you build up 'sleep debt' over time, this has long-term consequences. The aging process will be accelerated and the immune system will be impaired, which means you'll be more susceptible to skin infections, cold sores maybe even skin cancer. For the body as a whole there are chronic effects like serious health issues, metabolic problems, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain and depression.
Top Tips For Some Quality Shut Eye
Ready to change those sleeping habits? Here's some helpful tips to get you on your way to rest and relaxation:
• No caffeinated beverages, tea or coffee after 4 pm (also no sugar at least 2 hours before bed).
• Working out after work or doing yoga also really helps not just for the body but for switching off the brain from work.
• No phones or bright LED lights next to the bed, or in the room for that matter. Try to black out your room as much as possible or try a sleep masque.
• Taking a bath with a blend of relaxing essential oils — the heat from the water soothes muscles, the aromas through you breathing them in will help you to unwind. The best essential oils for sleep are Lavender, Chamomile, Sandalwood, Ylang ylang and Rose.

Is Microencapsulated Retinol Better Than Ordinary Retinol?
While there is no question that Retinol is indeed one of the most effective age fighting ingredients available in skin care today, there is often confusion surrounding the different forms available in cosmetic products. Unfortunately, as effective as pure Retinol is in fighting the signs of aging, the reality is that it is not a very stable molecule. It breaks down in the presence of oxygen and light so great care must be exercised when formulating with Retinol to ensure that the active Retinol is still present 6 months later. Cosmetic manufacturers will often use metal or glaminate tubes with a narrow needle nose delivery orifice to minimize exposure to light and air.
With the numerous clinical studies supporting the benefits of Retinol in skin care products, we have sought ways to optimize using this unstable molecule. Microencapsulation is a process whereby Retinol is subjected to a laboratory process that encapsulates the active molecule within a microscopic capsule or sphere that not only protects the unstable Retinol molecule, it facilitates controlled release delivery and enhanced penetration through the lipid bilayer of the skin. This is the result of the microcapsule structure being constructed of multiple layers of lipid membranes surrounding a solid Retinol containing core that allows for an easier transfer of the Retinol molecule. At the same time the very nature of the capsule enables a lipid film to form over the skin's surface to impede trans epidermal water loss (TEWL).
Formulating with microencapsulated Retinol is also advantageous over the free form of Retinol in that it protects the Retinol from oxidation or spoilage and extends the shelf life of the product. The microcapsules break when they are applied to the skin so that the Retinol is at its most active when delivered. And due to the lipid nature of the microencapsulation it facilitates a controlled release delivery with better penetration through the barrier lipids of the skin.

Get Soy Smart!
In recent years, Soy has been marketed for it's nutritional benefits, but did you know that topical application of Soy can also contribute to healthy skin? Here's 5 questions and answers to get you Soy-smart.
1. What are some of the benefits of using Soy in skincare products?
Soy and its derivatives have shown to reduce free radical damage (ROS) and reduce inflammation. It also hydrates the skin by stimulating the production of Hyaluronic Acid and stimulates production of collagen and increases skin thickness, which may be beneficial for postmenopausal women who develop a thinner dermis and decreased collagen. Soy isoflavonoids act as anti-glycation agents (AGEs) to fight collagen cross-linking and inhibits collagen degrading enzymes (matrix-metalloproteinase enzymes also referred to as MMPs). Soy ingredients can also produce a brightening effect for hyperpigmentation.
2. Are there different types of Soy that are used in skincare products?
Yes, Soy has different derivatives that are used in various skincare products. Soybeans are a rich source of flavonoids called isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens or plant compounds that have a weak estrogenic effect. The most commonly used Soy isoflavonoids is Glycine Soja (Soybean) Protein, Oil or Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Lecithin that are rich in amino acids that help to smooth, aid in wound healing, and stimulate elastin and collagen synthesis.
3. What type of skin treatment is Soy a good ingredient for?
Soy is primarily used in aging skin treatments that are geared towards stimulating elastin and collagen synthesis, reducing fine lines, wrinkles and UV induced photo-damage. Soy isoflavones have also been used in treatment for hyperpigmentation disorders as they prevent melanin from adhering to skin cells, therefore helping with blotchiness and discoloration.
However, Soy, which is a phytoestrogen, is NOT recommended for melasma treatment since melasma is somewhat estrogen mediated.
4. Is there any danger in applying Soy-based products topically on the skin? For example on a client with Soy allergies, hormonal imbalances, etc.
Most concerns or negative effects associated with soy are consumption based, however, Soy may act as a food allergen (similar to milk, eggs or peanuts). If the client has a Soy allergy, then it's recommended to avoid products that contain Soy. There has been some consumer concerns between Soy and breast cancer. Studies are still on-going to determine whether these isoflavones spur tumor growth. Ensure client's check with their physician before proceeding to use or prescribe any Soy-based products.
5. What other key ingredients work with Soy?
Soy itself has been suggested to have a variety of effects when used in in skin care products. For maximum results, look for products that have an additional complex of age-fighting ingredients that work synergistically with Soy, such as peptides, White Tea and Licorice.

Crazy for Cranberries
With the holiday season upon us I seem to have cranberries on the brain, so it should come as no surprise that one of my all-time favorite ingredients happens to be Cranberry Seed Oil. Why am I so enamored with the oil from this super fruit? When the fruit is cold pressed the resulting oil is rich in tocopherols, tocotrienols (Vitamin E) and phytosterols (plant sterols). Vitamin E is really a family of eight different isomers consisting of 4 tocopherols and 4 tocotrienols. The Vitamin E constituents found in Cranberry Seed Oils contain significant levels of alpha and gamma tocopherols and alpha and gamma tocotrienols. All of these isomers of Vitamin E provide excellent antioxidant protection and help to reinforce the barrier lipid properties of the skin.
In addition, Cranberry Seed Oil contains high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids; including those that are essential to your health, such as the Omega-3 fatty acid also called alpha-linolenic acid. The 1:1 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 essential fatty acids gives Cranberry Seed Oil its excellent antioxidant activity and skin nurturing benefits, but also explains why this oil absorbs very nicely into the skin and helps it hold onto moisture by contributing to the skin's structure and barrier formation. This moisturizing power of Cranberry Seed Oil makes it perfect for aging, rough, dry, and scaly skin.
We all know that free radical damage and inflammation are two potent drivers of skin aging, so being able to address these two issues with a topical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent goes a long way in preventing premature aging of the skin and repairing some of the existing damage. The high antioxidant potential of Cranberry Seed Oil makes it an excellent addition to any nighttime treatment product where it can help scavenge free radicals while promoting skin repair – as well as in daytime sun protection products to provide antioxidant benefits along with sunscreens for photoprotection of the skin.
It's no wonder cranberries are considered a super fruit! Not only do they provide topical benefits for the skin but they taste delicious, and provide similar benefits when consumed in our diet.

Eyedeas for Eyes!
No other part of the face is as expressive or reveals our moods and feelings as much as the eye area. The area is an eye-catcher in the truest sense of the word – but unfortunately it's also the part of the face that shows the first signs of skin aging. The first fine lines start to appear when we are in our early to mid-20s, and it's followed by changes in pigmentation and a reduction in the skin's firmness. And regardless of our age, a glance in the mirror can often reveal puffiness and shadows around the eyes – which is guaranteed to spoil the mood!
Our clients also have their concerns regarding the youthfulness and radiance of their eye area. Needless to say, an individual consultation also includes the recommendation of suitable eye care products. Which is most suitable is determined by the condition of the skin and your clients' preferences. You must also find out whether your clients are already using an eye care product, and whether it contains a protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays.
You must also ask clients about their lifestyles and daily habits. Do they wear sunglasses with adequately large frames to protect the tissue around the eyes from harmful UV rays? Are the frames efficient enough to prevent squinting, which can lead to expression lines?
You can achieve amazing results around the eye area if you use a chemical exfoliant during the skin treatment. But be careful – do not use mechanical exfoliants with granules, as they could enter your clients' eyes and cause a severe mechanical irritation on the sensitive area. It is better to use a gentle acid exfoliant, applied in a semi-circle around the outer corner of the eye. Take great care not to get too close to the lash line, and only work on the areas under the eye and by the outer corner of the eye – the inner corner of the eye is a no-go area! Finish this with a gentle drainage massage using a concentrate of active substances followed by a cooling gel mask for a real WOW effect when your client looks in the mirror.
Incidentally: A chemical exfoliation, light massage and mask can also leave the lip area looking much fresher and fuller. Please take care to avoid the oral fissure – and make sure your client doesn't inadvertently "sample" the products.
Wishing you every success, and with best wishes from Germany!

The Scary Truth Behind Halloween and Accelerated Skin Aging!
When it comes to celebrating Halloween, many of us don't realize that the "trick really is in the treat"! Those sugary delights that await us as we eagerly go knocking from door to door, could be leading to more than the anticipated side effects of tooth decay!
Researchers have discovered that sugar consumption leads to a rapid rise in blood glucose levels, which triggers a series of biochemical reactions in the cells that cause inflammation and glycation, which ultimately leads to accelerated aging of the body.
Glycation in the skin occurs when blood sugar levels rapidly rise and sugar molecules attach to one of the fundamental architectural structures in the skin, Collagen. Once sugar bonds with Collagen, the process of "Glycation" takes place, and produces harmful molecules called Advanced Glycation End products, which ultimately undermine the skin's internal scaffolding, weakening its strength and turgor. With the repetitive attack of sugar to the skin, fine lines and wrinkles will eventually start to manifest and the skin will take on a more fragile and flaccid appearance! YIKES!!!
Scientists from the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands and Unilever in the UK performed a study where they measured the blood sugar levels of 600 men and women aged between 50 and 70. Photographs of these people were presented to a board of 60 independent evaluators. What these evaluators perceived in this study was that those with higher blood sugar levels looked older than those with lower blood sugar levels. The researchers also discovered that with every 1mm/liter increase in blood sugar, the perceived age of that person rose by five months! Now if that does not scare you then I don't know what will!
How much you can tolerate before glycation occurs depends on your age, metabolism and how much you exercise. If you're an active 25-year-old, your body can tolerate more sugar than if you are a sedentary 35-year-old.
The good news is if you change your ways and start to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet, then you should quickly see benefits manifesting on the surface of your skin. The aim should be to ensure that high Glycemic Index foods make up less than ten percent of your total diet. The results you achieve from your dietary changes will be further accelerated by making sure you use skin care formulations that fight the effects of sugar from the outside in. Skin care products rich in anti-inflammatory ingredients and sugar trapping cosmeceuticals such as Arginine Lysine Polypeptide are a definite must have!
Try to repair existing damage by using ingredients that can stimulate the skin to produce more collagen. Examples of ingredients with collagen stimulating capabilities include:
• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, a non-irritating form of Vitamin A
• Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP), a stabilized form of Vitamin C
• Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14, a small amino acid chain molecule that stimulates the fibroblast cell into action.
And if you simply can't help but give in to those sugary cravings, then try some fresh strawberries dipped in 70% dark chocolate, which has a substantially lower glycemic index and is considered by some to be an antioxidant "super food!"
Here's to a happy, healthy Halloween!

Hormones and the Skin Q & A
As seen in CLEO Magazine, Australia, July 2012
Do hormones affect our skin? How?
Absolutely! There are dozens of hormones that have major effects on the body, including our skin. Scientists are still discovering new hormones and new actions of known ones when it comes to effects on skin. The major hormones that affect skin are the sex steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, and growth hormones. The key is balance when it comes to hormones. When there is an imbalance, effects are seen on skin, hair and nails. For example, too much thyroid hormone and you get moist, smooth skin. Too little and you get rough, dry skin. Too much or too little and you can get alopecia. Too much of the androgen (male) hormones increase skin oiliness and face/body hair. This can lead to acne in both men and women. Too little of the female hormones (estrogens and progestogens) and you get thin, dry skin with reduced collagen and elastin, something that is seen in menopausal women.
Why do we sometimes get pimples in the same spot around the time of our periods?
Many adult women get a pimple around the time of ovulation, typically a couple weeks before the start of their period. This is most likely due to the surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) that is seen at this time. This hormone can trigger sebaceous gland activity, leading to increased oil production and the perfect environment for an invading bacteria to cause inflammation. Hormonal breakouts are quite common and can be controlled.
What can be done to stop this kind of skin problem?
Some methods of birth control can help regulate the hormones that lead to oil production and breakouts. But a good skin care regimen will do wonders for breakout-prone skin. Using mild cleansers that don't strip skin oils is a good first step, since many people believe that the more squeaky-clean they are the better. Using harsh soaps to remove all oils can actually cause skin to produce even more oil, in an attempt to self-regulate. Next you want to moisturize with oil-free moisturizers to maintain hydration without clogging pores. And using spot treatments with Sulfur and Salicylic Acid are great ways to control breakouts without causing unwanted inflammation, which can worsen the problem. Retinoids (Vitamin A derivatives) are also good ways to manage adult acne and skin aging at the same time.

Bridezilla be Gone: Your Skin Guide Countdown to the Big Day
June is the most popular month for weddings, and according to market research firm IBISWorld, the U.S. wedding industry is worth $48 billion. This recession proof business isn't showing signs of letting up; in fact it's predicted to reach $54.3 billion by 2016. So brides, bridegrooms and wedding parties are indeed big business for us, and creating a skin care countdown ensures skin is HD picture perfect! This also helps avoid disasters like "bride hives" from that mystery Taiwanese wrinkle buster!
Here's a checklist of professional skin "to dos" before the "I dos" are said:
Book the Bride: Problem, breakout prone skin and hyperpigmentation issues are going to need consistent treatments and an-at home protocol to achieve significant results. Just like working with a personal trainer to get into the Vera, you're the official skin trainer, so position yourself in the same way. Schedule six months out from the big day with monthly, then bi-weekly skin treatments, and tweak and customize the treatments and products throughout. Brides should also be alert to potential eyebrow issues at this time too – some areas that may have been over-plucked might need to grow in, which can take several months to accomplish.
Month 1: Concentrate on deep cleaning for the first treatment, particularly if the client is new to skin treatments. The bride may breakout during this time as the skin is being encouraged to purge, so she shouldn't be alarmed or discouraged and want to quit her regimen. Upgrade her existing cleansing regimen by adding an oil-based precleanser to dissolve excess sebum and debris prior to using her normal cleanser, and prescribe a clay-based masque to expel blockages and congestion from the skin.
Months 2-4: These treatments should be spent on problem solving areas that need extra help. Stronger exfoliation should be performed and gradually increased throughout the series. Galvanic or microcurrent should be used to drive in actives to address lines, irregular pigmentation and over active sebaceous glands. Breakouts can be "zapped" with high frequency to expedite clearing. This is also the time that skin should be treated with potent, targeted products to correct problems.
Months 5-6: The last two treatments should focus on getting the skin glowing, firm, energized and hydrated. This is also a tense time for the bride, and stress hormones can lead to sporadic breakouts. The skin should be pumped with antioxidants and hydrating, energizing ingredients in anticipation of the big day.
Month 6: The big day has arrived! Schedule the final skin treatment three days before the wedding. Brides make the mistake of doing this the day before and risk a big pre-wedding nerve pimple. Eyebrows should be tidied during this time, and any waxing procedures, body treatments and/or self-tanning applications are best scheduled now. The day before the wedding should be dedicated to a 20 minute flash exfoliation and energizing masque, manicure, and pedicure. If possible, a calming massage can be squeezed in.
BIG DAY: The day of the wedding should be reserved for makeup and hair – that's it! Provide the bride with an emergency kit that includes a concealing pimple treatment for combating that stress related breakout, a vitamin-packed mist for keeping her make up fresh and to energize skin throughout the day and a lip complex for keeping those lush lips ready for the big kiss!

Lustrous Pearl Powder for Enhanced Skin Health
For thousands of years, the pearl has been one of the favorite choices among Asian, Egyptian, Mayan and Indian cultures for both beauty and medicinal treatments. From ancient China and India to medieval Europe and Arabia, pearls have been used for everything from aphrodisiacs to cures for insanity. They have been worn for their curative powers or ground up and made into potions, salves and concoctions to treat a variety of ailments and to promote one's natural beauty. In recent years, cosmetic industry scientists have focused their research on substantiating many of the benefits of Pearl Powder when topically applied in cosmeceuticals. In order to understand how Pearl Powder can impart a benefit to the skin we need to understand what it is first.
Pearl Powder is a finely milled powder from natural pearls that is rich in nutrients and composed primarily of Calcium Carbonate, proteins, 20 different amino acids, some trace elements and Conchiolin, an organic (meaning made up of carbon and hydrogen atoms) protein. Conchiolin is what contributes to the lustrous finish of pearls, when alternating layers of Conchiolin and Calcium Carbonate crystals form the pearl's nacre, often called mother-of-pearl. What's more amazing is that this magnificent, lustrous substance really begins as an annoying irritation, which brings us to the question: how do pearls form?
Natural pearls form under a set of accidental conditions when a microscopic intruder or parasite enters a bivalve mollusk (such as an oyster), and settles inside the shell. The mollusk, being irritated by the intruder, secretes Calcium Carbonate and Conchiolin to cover the irritant. This secretion process is repeated many times, thus producing a pearl.
So how does Pearl Powder benefit our skin? Research studies using markers that indicate keratinocyte cell proliferation have demonstrated that Pearl Powder, when topically applied to skin, stimulates cell regeneration. When complexed with Silicium (a structural component of our connective tissue that helps maintain skin's mechanical properties such as firmness and elasticity), Pearl Powder protects cells from free radical-induced damage and helps protect collagen fibers from glycation. Glycation is a process whereby sugars react with proteins (i.e. collagen) to form Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) that lead to inflammation and premature aging (i.e. cross-linked collagen). And of course, being a rich source of calcium, Pearl Powder helps in cell cohesion via desmosomes with their calcium dependent proteins, therefore, promoting skin firmness.
Studies also indicate that Pearl Powder is comparable to Arbutin, the active component of Bearberry that inhibits the tyrosinase enzyme, thereby inhibiting melanin formation. Pearl Powder has also been shown to enhance activity of Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that scavenges free radicals and slows aging. And finally, studies testing Pearl Powder's ability to impact skin hydration demonstrated that it enhances the water-holding capacity of the skin.
As you can see, the benefits of Pearl Powder in cosmeceuticals are indeed impressive. What started off as a mere intruder in an oyster shell results in a beautiful pearl that has promising applications in the realm of skin care.
