After how long to discard makeup products?

By Maria Laura Carrizo

Such as foods and medicines, beauty

products and makeup also have limi-

tations.

In hot and humid climates, products

last less. If you want your products

to last longer do not keep them in the

bathroom or elsewhere with moisture,

if you would like you can even keep

them in the refrigerator. Do not touch

them with dirty or wet hands.

Mascara lasts 3 to 6 months. This is

the product with which you should

be more careful. This is because it is

water based, where bacteria can grow

faster because the wand to apply this

constantly transmitting the bacteria

from our eyelashes to the wand of our

mascara.

It has a life of 18 months. Just like

mascara it is water based. Avoid

touching the bottle, put a little in the

palm of your hand without touching

Because loose powder is not water

based it may last for several years.

Several years

12 to 18 months.

Because lipsticks have wax they may

last about three years. If you stop

using them or someone else uses

it sharpen the lipstick to take off the

contaminated part of the lipstick.

Two to three years

18 months.

Lip gloss contains water and becomes

contaminated once it is used.

Cosmetics have conservatives that not

only allow them to be durable, but also

kept free of germs, however, when ap-

propriate measures are not followed

when handling the products, they can

and will be contaminated.If this hap-

pens and continue to be used is highly

likely that a severe eye and skin infec-

tions will occur.

• Wash your hands before applying makeup, your hands could al-ready be contaminated.• Keep containers tightly closed when cosmetics are not using them, and away from sunlight.• Discard any product that you have stored for a long time, and those that have changed color or different a texture, also if they develop an odor.• Do not add water or saliva, it could contaminate them with germs.• Stop immediately the use of products that cause irritation.• Clean waste containers with the outside or the inside of the lid. • If you have allergies choose hypoallergenic cosmetics

for sensitive skin.• Do not leave uncovered or broken cases. • If the product does not have an expira-

tion date label, be aware of the time you purchased the product so you can con-trol its shelf life in your make up table.• Wash your brushes with soap and wa-

ter at least every 15 days.• Do not apply cosmetics if you have the

eyes or skin infections, and immediately dis-pose of used cosmetic use.

• Before going to sleep remove all makeup and keep your skin clean and can "breathe."

To avoid this it is necessary to follow exactly the following tips:

Really Necessary?Dental X-Rays

Dental x-rays are indicat-

ed by your dentist when

there is a diagnostic

reason for taking them.

It's a common question

that arises frequently.

A dental exam is com-

prised of a clinical vi-

sual evaluation, and if

deemed necessary by

your dentist, the exam

will also include dental

x-rays. In an evalua-

tion, there are find-

ings that we can see

only with the eyes and

there are other findings

that we can see only with an x-ray.

A complete evaluation makes use

of both the visual clinical findings

Dental x-rays from the era of our grand-

parents and parents have come a long

way. The x-ray machine setting is adjusted

based on the size of the patient and what

is being x-rayed. We started with den-tal film x-rays and now we have digital dental x-rays. Throughout the history of

dental x-rays, the speed

of the x-ray film has

changed and become

faster. Faster speed

film requires less radia-

tion exposure. We went

from D speed film to F

speed film and gained

a 50% reduction in

the radiation exposure

required for a dental x-

ray. Then there was the

digital leap! With digital

dental x-rays the radia-

tion exposure required

is even less. When we

take a z, the exposure

setting of the x-ray

machine has to be re-

duced to the level we would have used for a child to expose a regular dental film x-ray. So when dental x-rays radiation is

being discussed, it is important to know

So Are

well as many opinions on the subject. So

let's take another look at this issue.

We are continuously exposed to radia-

tion, and being prudent about limiting ex-

posure is reasonable. However, a better

understanding of radiation exposure and

how it relates to dental x-rays is warrant-

ed. It is also important to understand why

your dentist is indicating an x-ray is taken.

13what type of dental x-ray is being re-

ferred to…is it regular film x-ray (and

what speed film) or if they are referring to

digital dental x-rays?

Did you know that walking out in the gor-

geous sun exposes you to radiation? This

is referred to as ambient or atmospheric

radiation and your yearly exposure is

significantly higher than the exposure

of a complete series of dental x-rays. A

complete dental x-ray series is defined

by the ADA CDT as a set of 14-22 indi-

vidual dental x-rays. And, when dental

x-rays are taken, a protective lead body

shield and thyroid collar should be used.

I bet you don't think about throwing on a

lead lined coat and hat when you plan a

day laying out on the beach or when you

leave your home on your way to work in

the morning!

When looking at x-rays we are looking to

identify diseases and pathology that can,

in some cases, be potentially dangerous

for the patient if it is not identified. At a

new dental office, the dentist may take a

complete dental x-ray series. This pro-

vides the dentist with a picture of your

actual dental health status at your initial

visit. It is also a baseline image of your

mouth. Comparison to this baseline can

be essential later down the line in diag-

nosis and assessment of a condition. By

declining dental x-rays you are limiting

the diagnostic ability of your dentist.

iN

Sometimes, x-rays are used to verify that

delicate and precise procedure your den-

tist is doing. Your dentist may be metic-

ulous about the work they are doing for

you. For example, as part of their manner

of practice, an x-ray may be used to verify

crown margins and root canal treatments.

The more thorough your dentist is the

better for you as a patient!

{Contrary to the suggestions that a dentist’s mo-

tivation for dental x-rays is based on the dentist’s

greed and profitability…}

It is best to identify a small cavity that can

be addressed with a simple filling (aver-

age $100-$200). Allowing decay to re-

main un-identified can result in a painful

abscess requiring a costly root canal (av-

erage $2000) as well as requiring a crown

restoration (average $1500-$2000). The

other possibility is the loss of a tooth. Av-

erage cost of an implant can average up

to $3500. It is expensive to replace a hu-

man body part!

In children, a cavity will get the nerve of

a primary tooth (baby tooth) very quickly.

Early cavity identification is important. No

one wants to see a child with an abscess.

In general, Periodontal Disease (“gum

disease”) is a painless disease of the gum

and the tooth supporting bone. Peri-

odontal Disease is a major cause of tooth

loss. We use dental x-rays to evaluate

the amount of bone support for a tooth

to determine the severity of Periodontal

Disease. In some cases an aggressive

progression can be indicative of other se-

rious systemic conditions. You may have

a patient with excellent oral hygiene, but

on their recall x-rays we see an alarming

loss in bone level around the teeth. This

can be the first indication of undiagnosed

Diabetic patient or other auto-immune

condition. These systemic illnesses can

be very serious.

There are changes in the bone that can

only be seen on an x-ray. We may see

changes at the tip of a tooth root that

identifies an infection before the patient

starts to experience any pain. We may

see a questionable pattern and want to

compare it months later to see if it pres-

ents changes suggestive of a more seri-

ous condition. In some cases it could be

cancer.

Being cautious and prudent is a good

thing. It is as equally important to truly

understand why your dentist is indicating

dental x-rays. By refusing this valuable

part of your exam, you are limiting the

scope of your evaluation and your po-tential diagnosis. If you are going to the

dentist, you have already taken a positive

step in taking care your oral health and as

well as your overall health!

with Traditional ChineseBy Ivelisse DeJongh, A.P.ACUPUNCTURE PHYSICIAN

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture

dates back 2,000 years in the treatment of infertility.

The ancient, time tested techniques improve fertility

rates and support a woman’s whole body, unlocking unlim-

ited potential for childbearing, healing and health.

The diagnosis of infertility can be difficult and often devas-

tating to a couple. Both men and women experience infer-

tility imbalances. A great contribution to infertility in women

is the hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle and choosing

to wait longer to conceive.

Western reproductive medicine has provided treatments,

such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemina-

tion (IUI), to help woman conceive. Many have been suc-

cessful with one cycle (treatment), but many go through

numerous cycles until conception has been achieved, or

never achieved.

Fortunately, the failures of Western reproductive medicine

has provided treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF)

Treating infertility

and intrauterine insemination (IUI), to help woman con-

ceive. Many have been successful with one cycle (treat-

ment), but many go through numerous cycles until con-

ception has been achieved, or never achieved.

Fortunately, the failures of Western reproductive medicine

have galvanized women to seek out healthier, more holistic

methods of fertility enhancement.

Studies reported, that acupuncture, herbal medicine and

traditional medical interventions are the most effective fer-

tility treatments. Acupuncture may also improve the quality

of life in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) which

significantly reduces signs and symptoms. It also relaxes

the uterus and increases blood flow for the successful im-

plantation of an embryo within the uterine lining during IVF.

1,2

In a 2007 study, women receiving acupuncture reported

significantly less abdominal pain, other pain, nausea and

stress two hours after oocyte aspiration (egg collection)

compared to women receiving conventional analgesia. 3

iN

• Regulate your menstrual cycle.

• Reduce stress and anxiety. (The hormones that are se-

creted during stressful situations can significantly de-

crease fertility).

• Increase blood flow to the uterus, which improves the

chances of an ovum implanting on the uterine wall.

• Positively affect the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis,

which plays a key role in fertility.

• Normalize hormone and endocrine system that regulate

ovulation, especially in women with polycystic ovarian

syndrome. 4

Acupuncture and TCM provide a drug

free, safe, effective and natural approach

to treating infertility and enjoying a healthy

pregnancy. These medical, natural, and ho-

listic techniques are used at the DeJongh

Acupuncture Clinic to improve health and

enhance both women’s and men’s fertility.

Cupping is the application of

glass or plastic goblets (Chi-

nese Teacups) over specific

energetic spots of the body. The

suction created by the goblets

achieves the release of the ob-

structed energetic spots to restore

the flow of energy, eliminates tox-

ins from the body and gives back

health.

This old method of therapy has

been used for over 3,000 years

in Traditional Chinese Medicine

and by the Egyptians. Even

Hipocrates openly supported and

defended this therapy.

Cupping favors millions of per-

sons around the world since it is

safe, comfortable and helps in

many health problems. This ther-

apy became famous with the Hol-

lywood stars when Francis Ford

Cupping

Coppola included a session on

the second part of the movie The

Godfather in 1974.

This legendary therapy is used in

many Spas, medical Spas and in

Centers of Alternative Medicine.

me how "you have to musicalize your

words". She, as a great journalist, was

teaching me how a great journalist con-

veys a message.

What I discovered throughout my expe-

rience is that in additional to musical-

izing words, we have to pay attention to

the great weight and power these words

carry. They can soar to infinity or send

us straight to hell. We can create lead-

ers, overthrow president, destroy

the most sacred, and redeem the

sinners. It’s no wonder why jour-

nalists can be considered the

"fourth power."

That's where the big problem

arises. Since the great leaders,

limits and rights? What duties

and responsibilities apply when

manipulating the truth or disclosing hid-

ethical? How do we repair a wrong done

with words? All these questions have an-

swers very subjective depending on each

individual and each professional.

I began to learn about this career

at a very young age. My mother

introduced me to the fascinat-

ing world of communications

as soon as I started to read.

I still have flashbacks from the adventure re-

minding me the time I spent on the island. My

cameraman, whom I hired on the island, told

me "You cannot say my name, but this is my

contribution so that the world knows the suffer-

ing of my people.” Each story was heartbreak-

ing and I felt helpless not being able to help

their lives. What drove me was the fact that I

knew that if I made the 90 miles journey back

to Florida I would be able to show the world

that disguised reality that exists in Cuba. With

camera, microphone, pen and paper in hand,

I toured many places in Havana. Having noth-

ing previously planned, I armed myself with my

curiosity and started to inquiry on the local resi-

dents’ lives.

I found a desperate mother, a dog fighting with

a young girl for a piece of bread, an old woman

waiting for the day of her departure, a retiree

who wanted to leave this world as soon as

possible, and young people living without hope

and future.

I sat on a rock with a group of youngsters and

I asked them regarding the free local education

and their goals for college. Norberto, which

was the chattiest from the group said:

“Why would we want to study? Even if we have a ca-reer we won’t earn more than ten dollars per month. There

is no incentive for us.”

As the conversation progressed he be-

came animated and asked, "Where will

this story appear? I want you to tell the

world that in Cuba there is no happiness."

I followed by asking him if he had been

ever been imprisoned. The response left

me speechless: "A prison,” he said, “I was

born in a prison, this is a prison." The im-

ages and testimony from this documen-

tary have traveled to many countries.

Recently, I discovered that Norberto had

been arrested for allegedly dealing drugs.

He was sentenced to two-years in a pre-

carious prison from the Castro brothers.

Upon leaving, his neighbors said he no

longer wanted to talk to no one. It was

very difficult for me to learn this. The mere

fact that I may have contributed to his im-

prisonment by letting him express his frus-

trations with the government caused me

tremendous anxiety and sadness.

Now more than ever I am more committed

to denounce abuses and tell stories that

can help us build a better society. It seems

like a cliché from a beauty contest, but I

think if we all help a bit, if we were less

selfish many things would be different.

Journalistic ethics is a requirement that

comes with this profession which requires

honesty, responsibility and integrity. We

must be aware from the damage that may

come with the use and power of words.

We have to respect those who have trust-

ed us and at the same time need to ques-

tion sources, verify information, before

disclosure.

My mission as a journalist, in addition to

tell stories is also to raise social aware-

ness and try to contribute to each report

a respect for human rights. I would like to

quote one of the greatest writers Gabriel

Garcia Marquez which said "Being a jour-

nalist is the best job in the world.” If he is

planning to open a newspaper in heaven,

since now I will send my application for

employment so that when I get there we

will be able to inform and entertain with

our articles to the heaven’s court.

a little more time in the womb may matter

iN

Leave it to Mother Nature

Researchers just found out that for ba-

bies born between 37 and 41 weeks,

staying in the womb full term might

make a difference later in school test

scores. According to Naomi Breslau, a

Michigan State University professor and

sociologist, 6-year-olds born weigh-

ing the same as the average birth

weights at 37 and 38 weeks'

gestation, compared with

those born heavier, had

lower IQs. She clarifies

that the finding doesn't

prove being born early-

term can slow kids' brain

development since it is

possible that some other

factors are related. And

even though the majority of

37-weekers and 41-weekers

would end up developing typi-

cally, if you don’t have a medical

reason to have an early delivery, don’t

choose to do it. Take into consideration

that these kinds of studies need more

research, but why take a risk.

Expectant moms may feel the urge to

plan the date of delivery. Choosing

C-Section over natural delivery,

even when there is no medical rea-

son for it, has been increasing lately,

and even though most Obstetricians

in the United States don’t agree with

this type of planning, it happens. If you

are in the majority of lucky mothers that

have a healthy pregnancy, please leave it

to Mother Nature.

Having a natural delivery has benefits that

go from your faster recovery to passing on

healthy bacteria through your birth canal to

your newborn. When your baby is delivered

naturally, it means the body is announcing

that her lungs are ready to breathe and share

the air with you and the rest of the world; all

of her organs are well developed. And now

there might be one more reason.

cord producer, began playing the guitar

around the age of 10. His hobby turned pas-

sion about two years later, when he became

serious about playing the guitar. Growing up

in Detroit, Michigan, Mitchell jammed to the

vibes and sounds of bands like Led Zeppelin,

The Who, Nirvana and RadioHead. Shakira

was also a fan of these bands. Mitchell went

to an art high school called Interlochen Arts

Academy, located in Interlochen, Michigan;

other prestigious graduates include Jewel

Kilcher, Norah Jones, and David Blum.

After high school, at the age of 18, Mitchell

moved down to Miami and attended The Uni-

versity of Miami, where he furthered his mu-

sical skills and exposure. When he first came

down to Miami he was culture shocked,

35Mitchell and Shakira have created

a great friendship, as Mitchell says,

"She is kinda like my sister. She is a

brilliant songwriter; her raw talent is

what drew me to her." Their Grammy

winning work on Shakira's MTV Un-

plugged Album has earned the title

over 5 million copies sold. They later

collaborated on the smash song

Whenever Wherever which helped

launch her into the world market.

The time Mitchell has spent with

Shakira and Gloria Estefan has al-

lowed him to develop knowledge of

Latin music, something that he has

fused with classic rock guitar, result-

ing in

Mitchell's credits include songs

and production with Shakira, Bob

Seger, Jon Secada, Paulina Rubio,

Mandy Moore and many more. His

work with Shakira has allowed him

to create a fantastic musical career;

their work together is "still rocking

hard." At the moment they are get-

ting ready to do some promotional

work on I Heart Radio Festival and

Television, as well as promoting on

Shakira's current single with Pit-

bull. Mitchell can be found teaming

up with fellow producer/songwrit-

ers George Noriega, Jodi Marr and

others on a multitude of projects

at Cutting Cane Studios in Davie.

Working with artists like Shakira,

Emilio Estefan, and Bob Seger

has allowed Mitchell to develop a

fused sound. A fusion that comes

from the skills of a guitarist with a

background in traditional rock and

an introduction into the authentic

experience of Latin music, as pro-

Released in honor of the 21st anniversary of the british band’s debut album, Blur 21 is a box set that includes all of Blur’s seven studio albums, the fist

five remastered, and hours of unreleased tracks and videos. Each album comes with an entire disc of bonus material that includes a wealth of Blur extras like artwork and postcards and an expanded booklet with unseen photos and liner notes . And if that sounds enough the collection also comes with Four discs of rarities that includes more than three hours of previously unreleased material, and this is the preciousness of this set. Heterogenic tracks that shows the unbal-ance between the chaos of the guitarrist Damon Albarn and the mellow side of Damon Albarn , that at the end created together one of the most interesting band in the history of british pop. Great gift for Blur fans but nothing that the expected new material that Damon Albarn keep us waiting for.

Love This Giant is the sixth studio album from Annie Clark, artistically known as St. Vincent. For her new record the musician from Tulsa col-

laborates with the ex Talking Heads, David Byrne with an intricate chemistry between the avant-garde artists. With tons of Brass Instruments, the baroque arrangements show a complex St. Vincent, with an style that she calls teeter-ing between "happiness and madness". Or just call it a mix of Chamber Rock and Cabaret Pop.

Pay per impression is just one of the

newly coined terms that have been

borne out of the internet genera-

tion. Known for its swift communication,

data capture and storage and phenome-

nal effect on business and commerce, it

goes without saying that payment trans-

actions would be a constituent part.

Apart from PPI, there are many others

related to automatic transfers of money:

pay per sale, pay per lead, pay per call,

pay per period and pay per affiliate, to

mention but a few.

Pay per lead, as the name suggests is

based on a commission paid to a third

party who passes on potential new cli-

ents. It is sometimes paid for the lead,

regardless of outcome, but many are

now paid only on business generation.

One of the advantages of these pro-

cesses is they are very clear and easy to

administer and track.

PPC or pay per click is probably the

most well known forms of instant pay-

ment on the internet.

Pay Per ImpressionThe Less IntrusiveMarketing Strategy

It was introduced to clean up a lot of

spam adsense, not to mention creating

a significant revenue stream for search

engines. It is a faster way of achieving

heavy traffic on the internet, rather than

applying organic methods of SEO to at-

tain prominent positions for keywords,

and has its uses to some companies.

Instant prime positioning does come at

a cost though, and some click prices

can hit the 2 $ mark and more. Other

sources of income can come from sub-

jects related to affiliates whereby 'mid-

dle men' work on behalf of partners to

generate business.

In summary, the internet is a 24/7 mar-

ket exchange with billions of dollars

changing hands, effectively and effica-

ciously. Such transactions and execu-

tions would not have been possible only

a few years ago and only serves to un-

derline the importance and reliance the

modern commerce places on the inter-

net service. Growth has been meteoric

and change is constant. Who knows

what the world-wide-web will develop

into in the next decade. Time will only

tell, but pay processes could hardly be-

come more efficient or easier than they

are today.

Do you knot that PPC, SMM and SEO

go together for better results.

CTR - Clickthrough rate (CTR) is the

number of clicks your ad receives di-

vided by the number of times your ad is

shown (impressions).

PPC - The pay-per-click is the amount

you pay each time a user clicks on your

ad PPA - Pay per Acquisition or Cost

per sales PPM - Pay per thousand im-

pression PPV - Pay per Visitorz

Specified ingredients:

20 liters of water

1 kg. Polished barley

500 gr. Yellow corn

1 kg. Brown sugar

25 gr. Hop (plant native

to Egypt, used to bitter

flavor to beer, is obtained

in small quantities in herb-

al markets)25 gr.de yeast

Beer is one of the old-

est beverages humans

have produced, dating

back to at least the 5th

millennium BC and recorded in the

written history of Ancient Egypt and

Mesopotamia. As almost any cereal

containing certain sugars can un-

dergo spontaneous fermentation

due to wild yeasts in the air, it is

possible that beer-like beverages

were independently developed

throughout the world.

Historians theorize that human-

kind's fondness for beer and other

alcoholic beverages was a factor in

our evolution away from a society

of nomadic hunters and gathers

into an agrarian society that would

settle down to grow crops (and ap-

parently drink). The first product

humans made from grain & water

before learning to make bread was

beer. Chemical tests of ancient

pottery jars reveal that beer was

produced about 7,000 years ago in

what is today Iran

On January 24, 1935, the first

canned beer, "Krueger Cream Ale,"

was sold by the Kruger Brewing

Company of Richmond, VA

A 3900-year-old Sumerian poem

honoring Ninkasi, the patron god-

dess of brewing, contains the old-

est surviving beer recipe, describ-

ing the production of beer from

barley via bread.

PREPARATIONFirst we put 20 liters of water in a

stainless steel pot with barley and

corn and let it soak for 4 hours,

then add the sugar and hops. Boil

for 2 more hours, remove from heat

and let cool.

While still warm, mix the yeast well

diluted with some water. Cover the

pot and leave in a cool place for 48

hours to do the fermenting, then

filter it with thick wire fabric and

pack in bottles that we will cover it,

save it in a cool and 6 days we will

have our beer list to drink ...
