how to get rid of razor rash

What Are The Methods To Deal With Razor Bumps

Razor blade burns are in fact ingrown hair. It's hair that grew back into the tissue. It could be the result of a number of things, but the most widespread and the most likely cause is usually shaving. Shaving your face might cut your hair at this sort of angle it becomes sharp. Razor blade bumps not simply bother the actual skin, but tend to also be really awful at times.

Take advantage of the following actions to prevent getting razor bumps:

Be sure that your hair is wet when you start shaving. It's a smart idea to take a hot shower to begin with. If you don't shower then wash your face with warm, water and soap for at least two minutes or so. Moist hair cuts a lot better than dried out hair and slashes more evenly.

how has paper influenced history

Swami Vivekananda – The precursor of Freedom Movement of Bharat « Dr K M Rao

A paper presented at the annual conference of Bharatiya Itihasa Sankalana Samiti of Tamilnadu to commemorate SwamiViviekananda's 150^th Birthday.

Viviekananda exercised tremendous influence on all the phases of our freedom movement. Vivekananda influenced freedom movement like Rousseau influenced French Revolution. The successful culmination in political liberation of our freedom movement was itself a great revolution. To fight against Britain, a powerful imperialist power which suppressed and exploited Bharat for more than hundred years and make it quit Bharat can be proudly heralded and hailed as a great armed as well as  unarmed  revolution unprecedented in the annals of world history.

Without the background of wide national consciousness no freedom movement is possible. From all contemporary research of those times it becomes abundantly evident that Viviekananda's was the most forceful influence to rouse the national spirit in Bharat. Nivedita said: "Vivekananda was a worker at foundations…and a living epitome of national life".

English education, Indian press, regional literature reform movements, political parties including Congress, came and spread their influence before Viviekananda. In spite of all these, powerful national consciousness was not there. That is why in early 1893 the Hindu paper wrote: "Hinduism is dead; Its course is run ". But the same paper along with others including Anglo-Indian and Missionary papers wrote in less than one year's time that the present time may be described as the renaissance period in the History of Hindus. Madras times (second, March, 1895) called it "A national uprising". How did this miracle happen?  The only answer is that we derive from contemporary accounts is that Viviekananda appeared at the parliament of religions (Chicago – 11-9-1893 USA) proclaimed there the glory of Hinduism and civilization one recognition for our country's ancient heritage and thereby gave back to Hindus their long-lost esteem and self-confidence.

After returning to Bharat, Viviekananda called upon the Hindus to believe in their potential strength, reverence for the greatness of Bharat and struggle against foreign oppression. He showed the way for nation building from a sound foundation. Past history shows that in Bharat religious movement has always preceded national movement. Here in Bharat no national uprising was possible without revitalizing Hinduism. Viviekananda did that. His primary role as a religious leader made him the spiritual leader of freedom movement of Bharat.

Viviekananda's contributions towards nationalism, militant nationalism in particular were the following:

Annual SAS trip hits slopes of Val Thorens

Neil Graham landing a jump. Photo by Jonny Hawkins

After months of eager anticipation, 250 students from across the academic spectrum geared up for the annual St Andrews Snowsports ski trip on Friday 20 January.

Selling out in less than 12 hours, this was the biggest ski trip to date and with the exams finished, everyone was ready for their journey to the French Alpine resort of Val Thorens. A week of skiing, snowboarding and socialising was in order and no one can do a ski trip like St Andrews Snowsports can.

With a Noahs Ark theme planned for the bus journey down, a whole menagerie of tigers, lions, rabbits, unicorns, Pikachus, seals and dinosaurs boarded the buses down to Dover and across to France.

While the journey is long (30 hours from St Andrews), its on the buses that trippers, especially first years and snow virgins, meet up with friends and get to know the other people on the trip that theyll be shredding slopes with nothing brings people together more than sharing a room during the ski trip.

This is just as well, as being trapped inside a small compartment for hours on end, travelling at tens of thousands of feet and hundreds of miles an hour, is something that demands a certain level of diversion. Thankfully people have been developing systems for just this for almost a hundred years now.

when do managers need to make decision

The New, Faster Face of Innovation

By ERIK BRYNJOLFSSON And MICHAEL SCHRAGE

Call it innovation on steroids. Or innovation at warp speed. Or just the innovation of rapid innovation.

But the essential point remains: Technology is transforming innovation at its core, allowing companies to test new ideas at speeds and prices that were unimaginable even a decade ago. They can stick features on Web sites and tell within hours how customers respond. They can see results from in-store promotions, or efforts to boost process productivity, almost as quickly.

The result? Innovation initiatives that used to take months and megabucks to coordinate and launch can often be started in seconds for cents.

And that makes innovation, the lifeblood of growth, more efficient and cheaper. Companies are able to get a much better idea of how their customers behave and what they want. This gives new offerings and marketing efforts a better shot at success.

Harry Campbell

Companies will also be willing to try new things, because the price of failure is so much lower. That will bring big changes for corporate culture making it easier to challenge accepted wisdom, for instance, and forcing managers to give more employees a say in the innovation process.

There will be even better payoffs for customers: Their likes and dislikes will have much more impact on companies' decisions. In globally competitive markets, they will ultimately end up getting products and services better tailored to their needs.

Already, this powerful new capability is changing the way some of the biggest companies in the world do business, inspiring new strategies and revolutionizing the research-and-development process.

"In the U.S., we do the vast majority of our concept testing online, which has created truly substantial savings in money and time," says Joan Lewis, global consumer and market knowledge officer at Procter & Gamble Co.

Finding the Link

What does all of this experimentation look like in practice?

Consider Google Inc., which runs 50 to 200 search experiments at any given time. In one case, Google asked selected users how many search results they would like to see on a single screen. More, said the users, many more. So Google ran an experiment that tripled the number of search results per screen to 30. The company found that traffic declined.

Dove Cottage « Stony Places

The next day we ventured forth to Grasmere to visit Dove Cottage, Wordsworth's family home. We got up early, dressed, and went down to breakfast. Fortunately, Rockside had a few more options than the traditional full breakfast, so I decided on a plate of pancakes and waffles instead of the usual. The owners made their own banana-walnut bread, marmalade, jams, and yogurt, so I tried all of that as well.  It was such an excellent departure from the fat-and-protein-packed breakfasts we had elsewhere, and I enjoyed it so much! I'd like to try making my own yogurt as well now that we are back stateside.

After breakfast we loafed around Windermere for a while, stopping in the charity shops and other places. I love the charity shops, mostly because all the little items there seem to have a real history behind them. For example, we saw a mug that commemorated the Queen's coronation for only five pounds! For one pound you could get a mug that commemorated Andrew and Fergie's wedding as well!

Afterward we grabbed a bus to Grasmere. The bus stop was located right near the train station. The  bus was a little late, but the drive was only about 20 minutes so it was really no inconvenience for us.  The bus stopped right outside of Dove Cottage, which is just a few minutes walk from the center of Grasmere and the lake itself.

We got our tickets, then spent a few minutes in the museum admiring Wordsworth's manuscripts and Dorothy's journals before entering the cottage itself. The cottage was small, with whitewashed stucco walls. The garden outside was small but neat, and it was evident that the Trust had done a lot to maintain the space to Dorothy's standards. There were little placards all around that displayed snippets of Dororthy's garden journals, and of course daffodils were planted all around and were in full bloom!

We started inside in a little receiving room on the first floor. They told us that the cottage had once been used as an inn, which explained some of the finer finishings like the slate floor. On the same floor was the kitchen, with a separate buttery which served as a sort of refrigerator, because it was built on top of a small stream which kept the room cool.  Wordsworth wrote that he always avoided this area of the house because he was always dragged into domestic chores every time he entered it.  On the way up the stairs, we saw Wordsworth's favorite domestic item, the cuckoo clock, and a place where Thomas De Quincey's wife had dropped a bucket of coals and nearly burned down the whole house.

people who cut themselves help

Help … My Child Is Cutting Themselves!!

*** This post is dedicated to one very strong young lady. Keep up the great work! ***

Sara's mom first noticed the cuts when Sara was doing the dishes one night. Sara told her mom that their cat had scratched her. Her mom seemed surprised that the cat had been so rough, but she didn't think much more about it. Sara's friends had noticed something strange as well. Even when the weather was hot, Sara wore long-sleeved shirts. She had become secretive, too, like something was bothering her. But Sara couldn't seem to find the words to tell her mom or her friends that the marks on her arms were from something that she had done. She was cutting herself with a razor when she felt sad or upset.

Injuring yourself on purpose by making scratches or cuts on your body with a sharp object enough to break the skin and make it bleed is called cutting. Cutting is a type of self-injury, or SI. Most people who cut are girls, but guys self-injure, too. People who cut usually start cutting in their young teens. Some continue to cut into adulthood. People may cut themselves on their wrists, arms, legs, or bellies. Some people self-injure by burning their skin with the end of a cigarette or lighted match. When cuts or burns heal, they often leave scars or marks. People who injure themselves usually hide the cuts and marks and sometimes no one else knows.

Why Do People Cut Themselves?

It can be hard to understand why people cut themselves on purpose. Cutting is a way some people try to cope with the pain of strong emotions, intense pressure, or upsetting relationship problems. They may be dealing with feelings that seem too difficult to bear, or bad situations they think can't change. Some people cut because they feel desperate for relief from bad feelings. People who cut may not know better ways to get relief from emotional pain or pressure. Some people cut to express strong feelings of rage, sorrow, rejection, desperation, longing, or emptiness.

Identifying Buried Pages Using Xenu Link Sleuth & Excel

A practical article detailing how to identify (and fix!) pages that are buried on your site.

The Problem

One way to improve your site's performance in the search engine is to address buried pages on your site. By buried pages, I mean pages that are less frequently referenced, harder to get to, and not often linked to. These pages are viewed as less important to the search engines for – they're not a prominent part of your site and there isn't much internal link juice flowing to them. Sometimes this is OK – for instance, if the pages aren't important or have little to no opportunity to bring in search traffic (e.g. a page that listed the terms and conditions for a one-time contest). Many times, however, these pages were simply overlooked when designing the site and represent an opportunity to improve rankings and grab some additional traffic from the search engines.

The Solution

First we'll identify problem pages using a free program called Xenu Link Sleuth and Microsoft Excel (the free Open Office works too!), then I'll give suggestions for how to create a plan to fix them. You can get Xenu Link Sleuth at http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html – while the site is a bit ugly & outdated the tool itself is invaluable.

Identifying Problem Pages

Assuming you have Xenu installed, the first step will be to crawl your site. Go to File -> Check URL…, type your homepage URL in the first field, then hit OK. Xenu will spider your site and collect all sorts of useful information that you can use to troubleshoot your site.

Meteors are streaks of light, usually lasting just a few seconds, which people occasionally see in the night sky. They are sometimes called "shooting stars" or "falling stars", though they are not stars at all. Meteors are caused by the entry of small pieces of rock, dust, or metal from space into the atmosphere at extremely high speeds. These particles, called "meteoroids" when they are floating around in space (think of very small asteroids), are traveling at incredible speeds of tens of kilometers per second (tens of thousands of miles per hour) when they streak into the atmosphere.

what is the shape of water molecule

How Snowflakes Are Formed

Precipitation comes in many forms such as rain, sleet, hail and snow. A snowflake starts out as a dust particle. Then water vapor starts to condense onto the dust particle and if the temperature is cold enough it freezes. Most naturally occurring ice is shaped in a hexagonal structure. The snowflake becomes more and more formed because water molecules have an attraction for each other and water is more stable in the form of ice. The water molecule is even more stable in the form of ice when arranged in hexagonal layers, and that gives the snowflake a 6-sided symmetry. As more and more water vapor condenses onto this ice crystal, the snowflake grows.

Several factors influence the shape of any one snowflake, the temperature, humidity and the air currents. If there are a lot of dust and dirt particles mixed in during this freezing process, the shape of the snowflake is affected. As these ice crystals move up and down in the cloud with the updrafts and downdrafts they continue to form and be shaped. Finally the snowflake is heavy enough to escape the clouds updrafts and falls to the ground.

Falling to the ground can also alter its shape. If the snowflake spins it will probably keep its symmetrical shape. If they aren't spinning when they hit the ground they will lose their shape and be lumpy.

Latest ECB data shows how bad things have become in Euroland

I was reading the recently published January 2012 Monthly Bulletin from the ECB yesterday. It provides a massive amount of interesting data about the developments in the Eurozone plus analysis. The descriptive analysis is fine (this went up, this went down) but the conceptual analysis leaves a lot to be desired. This is an institution that still talks about reference values of broad money as a policy target to control inflation. Basically, that idea has no application in our monetary system. But that aside, the release of the latest M3 data tells us how bad things are getting in the Eurozone and do not augur well for the coming year, despite the up-beat forecasts for real GDP that the ECB are still providing. The latest ECB data shows how bad things have become in Euroland.

You will note that in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) there is very little spoken about the money supply. In an endogenous money world there is very little meaning in the aggregate concept of the money supply. I will come back to that.

But the Central banks do still publish data on various measures of money and attach importance to movements in these data series.

Chapter 2 of the January ECB Monthly Bulletin covers "Monetary and Financial Developments". The ECB said:

The annual growth rate of M3 declined strongly to stand at 2.0% in November 2011, down from 2.6% in October … On the one hand, three-quarters of this moderation in annual M3 growth is explained by a base effect related to sizeable interbank transactions traded via central counterparties (CCPs) in November 2010. On the other hand, the month-on-month growth rate was modestly negative at -0.15% in November.

In fact, the latest data available from the ECB shows that the M3 growth rate has decelined further (annualised) to 1.6 per cent in December 2011.

What is M3 and why might it tell us something significant about the current state of the Eurozone?

The ECB say that:

Broad money (M3) comprises M2 and marketable instruments issued by the MFI sector. Certain money market instruments, in particular money market fund (MMF) shares/units and repurchase agreements are included in this aggregate. A high degree of liquidity and price certainty make these instruments close substitutes for deposits. As a result of their inclusion, M3 is less affected by substitution between various liquid asset categories than narrower definitions of money, and is therefore more stable.

M3 is often the measure of the money supply that economists focus on with respect to their outlook for inflation. I will come back to that soon.

The following graphic is taken from the ECB Home Page and provides an easy reference to the increasingly broader definitions of the money supply.

The following graph shows the annual growth in seasonally-adjusted M3 from September 1998 to December 2011 for the entire Eurozone. You can get the data from the ECB Data Warehouse if you are interested.

The ECB say that the:

Overall, as in October, the weak monetary developments continued to reflect the high levels of economic and financial market uncertainty … The slowdown observed in the annual growth of M3 in November mainly reflected sharp declines in the annual growth rates of marketable instruments and, to a lesser extent, short-term deposits other than overnight deposits.

I will return to this point later. But first some background.

Mainstream macroeconomists think that M3 is a child of the monetary base. Underpinning this notion is the concept of the money multiplier.

A central tenet of mainstream macroeconomics that follows from the concept of the money multiplier is that the central bank is to control the money supply.

Neither the money multiplier nor the concept of central bank control of the money supply is a valid representation of the way the monetary system operates even though it appears in all mainstream macroeconomics textbooks and is relentlessly rammed down the throats of unsuspecting economic students.

The money multiplier myth leads students to think that as the central bank can control the monetary base then it can control the money supply.

Your Only Black Swan: MISS PEWTER

My new found obsession to welcome the new year is PEWTER. The obsession first started ever since these Pewter MARS Loafers by asos arrived on my doorstep. I've suddenly disregarded all my gold jewellery and only opted to wear my silver/metallic pieces instead. Has this ever happened to you? Stopped wearing a certain colour/finish because it didn't go with your current favourite item/trend?...

This pewter necklace I picked up a life time ago has also become another culprit towards my obsession. Perfectly matching with my pewter Penny loafers, both of them are now one of my favourite combos to wear lately.
