Tips for Sparkling Eyes

Eyes are the most prominent feature of your face. It needs some special care for getting sparkling and beautiful eyes.

Take a chilled mixture of cucumber and potato juice and dip wads of cotton in it. Keep this on your eyelids for 20 minutes and gently wash it off. Apply a little baby oil.

Apply a thin coat of castor oil every night. It will cool your eyes and strengthens lashes.

Get rid off dark circles by messaging a few drops of coconut oil around
the eyes.

Grate and tie potato in a cloth and place the cloth over your eyes for about 15 minutes. It will reduce puffiness of your eyes.

Add a small pinch of salt in  water and wash for sparkling eyes.

Take equal quantity og tomato juice and lemon juice, mix them well and apply around the eyes for 30 minutes. Wash it off with cold and hot water alternatively.

Make a paste of sandal wood and nutmeg. Apply the paste around the eyes before sleeping and wash it off in the morning.

Take cucumber juice. Mix a little rose water in it and apply around the eyes and wash it after 30 minutes.

What Have I Done? Baby Boomers Reveal Their Deepest Financial Regrets

Over 50, underfunded, and ill-prepared for retirement. Unfortunately, that’s an all-too-common scenario for the Baby Boomer generation – those born between 1946 and 1964 -- many of whom are still smarting from

the economic downturn and are now looking back at their earlier financial choices with regret.
Should they have bought that house at the height of the housing bubble? Should they have taken out that student loan? Should they have pursued a higher-paying career field?
But doubts like these are just part of the new reality for today’s Boomers, says Stan Hinden, author of “How to Retire Happy and a widely published columnist on retirement issues.I think Boomers are somewhat disappointed in the way things have turned out in recent years he says and I think they have a right to feel that something unfair has taken place. You can’t any longer buy a CD or invest in a money market fund and get any kind of respectable return, because interest rates are so low and have been so low and will continue to be so low that people have lost some years of investment potential and income. People can hope that that the situation improves but I don’t think it will very quickly, and people have a right to be disappointed in that.”
But all isn’t lost, Hinden says. Boomers looking to salvage a financial future from this mess will need to adjust their plans, possibly pushing back their retirement date by a few years, and start saving aggressively to make up for lost interest income.Once people are aware of their situation they’re going to have to find ways to cope as they can,” Hinden explains. “I don’t think there’s any immediate help coming, except maybe for housing, but the interest rate problem is very real. Hopefully by being active and alert and careful in their spending, people will, when they set up their retirement budgets, leave themselves as much leeway as possible, figuring that the amount of growth in their assets going forward is going to be pretty small.”
We reached out to the Baby Boomers in our Yahoo! Contributor Network community to hear about their own personal financial regrets. Several of their stories are below.
Why Didn’t I Save for Retirement?
I entered into adulthood and even had a family without ever hearing terms such as ‘401(k)’ and had no idea how to plan for my future financially. Worse yet is that I am college educated but still had no financial knowledge. I did not know which way to turn to find out anything about financially preparing for later life, so I didn't.As some Baby Boomers settle into an enjoyable retirement, I am one of the other Baby Boomers. There is no retirement for me, not even a burial plan. For Baby Boomers like myself who followed that popular song of the mid-1960s, ‘Let's Live for Today’ by the Grass Roots, what a mistake it may have been to let the title be a motto, only living for ‘today.’ I learned all too late that if you do not take the necessary steps to learn about financial planning as early as possible, it can be a disaster that will undoubtedly be regretted. -- Donna Hicks
I Squandered My Intellectual Capital
“In 1989, my husband and I became parents. In my typical, all-or-nothing fashion, I embraced motherhood with gusto. My husband became the breadwinner while I cared for our children at home. By 2001, we had six children. For all those years, I did nothing to maintain my contact with the business world. I took no classes to update my programming skills or to maintain my other technical skills. I enjoyed nursing babies, teaching preschoolers to read, sewing clothes for the family, and even canning all summer long. I was living my ‘Little House on the Prairie’ dream. I gave no thought to what I would do after the children were grown.
When our youngest child entered school, I had to build a new resume from scratch. I earned a master's degree in library science, hoping to land a position as an academic librarian at one of the many colleges in my city. I would have been better off if I had invested some time and money in continuing to take actuarial exams after I left the workforce or in pursuing an MBA in the evenings while I worked in Chicago. Instead, I waited too long to earn a low-value degree in a declining job market.” -- Kimberly Schimmel
I Should Never Have Taken That Early Withdrawal From My Pension Fund
As is common for so many women, I was trapped in an abusive relationship. Abusive types tend to control significant others by restricting how much they can earn and save. I was no exception. By the time I left, I only had what I could carry. Adding to the drama, I was finishing a degree program with college bills attached. Consequently, I chose the only option I could fathom at the time, which was early withdrawal of the public pension I had earned as a teacher.
To say I regret this decision is an understatement. Withdrawing funds from a pension is a taxable event, which results in reducing the payout amount significantly. Yes, withdrawing the funds helped me jump over my financial hurdle at the time. Nevertheless, considering the reduced amount I received and the loss of those retirement funds compared with what I had to do to replace them, it was a financial setback. Twenty-five years later, I still kick myself.” -- Rebecca Black
Credit Card Debt Nearly Ruined My Retirement
For over a year recently, I lived off an unemployment check and my credit cards. I maxed them out trying to maintain my standard of living, started paying the minimum payments, and eventually could not afford to pay them at all. Creditors were calling daily and my good credit rating took a nosedive. All I wanted to do was ignore the situation and hope it would go away, but I eventually had to face the fact that I had brought this on myself with my careless money management. I knew I had to do something, but curbing my spending and following a budget was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
Today I consider myself lucky because I did eventually find another job. Although it was not a high paying one, at least it was an income and I was able to start digging my way out of the financial pit I had created. By sticking to a budget, I have managed to pay off over half of my credit card debt. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little brighter now, but I regret that the money I thought I would be putting away in my 50s to enjoy my golden years is now going toward making sure that I have enough to survive them. “ -- Karlene Trudell
We Should Have Never Sold Our Dream Home
Fifteen years ago, I was offered a job of a lifetime. It required uprooting our newly started family and moving from Seattle to Cleveland. As hard as it was to make the decision to accept the job, the harder choice came later. My husband and I had saved for years and had designed and built our dream house. We were enjoying an up economy and our home's value skyrocketed.
With the power of hindsight, do I regret the decisions of youth? Absolutely. I wish we would have recognized the uncertainty of a long-distance move and opted to become landlords and renters. It would have given us time to determine if our new city was a keeper, and it would have given us a beloved landing place when we decided to return. If we had listened to our hearts and understood the difference of the Seattle vs. Cleveland markets we would have retained our equity, and our retirement accounts.” -- Kelly Tweeddale
Health, Money and First Impressions
Being 59 years old and not having a steady paycheck for over two years, I wish back in my young, accounting executive days I had paid more attention to my health than making money. Now, I can't make money because of my health. Currently, I'm managing my health, but money is tight. As far as first impressions go, that cane I walk with doesn't affect my mind and that accounting work I'm so good at isn't done with my feet. I think these are the first impressions that really should matter the most. “ -- Larry Gross
I Regret Our Fixer-Upper House PurchaseMy Baby Boomer husband and I, the quintessential tightwads, spent the first half of our marriage, through four kids, in a mobile home. We bought our first house in 2000 for $54,000. It was old, damaged and one step from getting condemned. Arguably, that's why it was a good deal. We both regret cutting ourselves too short on this home purchase.
And funny, what was ostensibly a ‘cheap’ house, hasn't been that inexpensive. For all the headaches, we still have a $650 a month house payment. We've barely touched the principal, the first 13 years of payments going primarily to interest. We have just paid off our other debt and can now think about refinancing. But I'm tempted to skip it, sell and get a nice little apartment with all the conveniences I don't have now. This ‘investment’ hasn't proved to be all it was cracked up to be. -- Marilisa Sachteleben
It Seemed Like the Rise of the Stock Market Was Never Going to End
I was keeping almost all my assets in stocks. Then the crash came and I had no plan to implement limits for my losses. My 401(k) lost 75 percent of its value. Then the market tanked and I had no safe haven for my hard earned money. Added to these financial disasters, the value of our home plummeted, denying refinancing to try and save on our mortgage.
My biggest mistake was not being more conservative and saving for emergencies. The tenet that you should have at least six months of emergency funds was sorely inaccurate. The latest economic downturn lasted longer for most of us. I needed a stable vehicle in tandem with my stock investments.

Guy Creates Video Game to Help Him Pop the Question

It’s the stuff that gamer dreams are made of. Boy meets girl.Girl loves to play video games as much as he does. They become friends, sharing their passion for gaming and stories of childhoods spent with joysticks in

hand. Boy eventually gets girl. Two and a half years later, he pops the question, gamer style, by designing a video game to propose to his girlfriend and catching her tear-jerking reaction on video.
The most challenging part of building the game was keeping it a secret Robert Fink, 24, a 3D artist from Portland, Oregon, tells Yahoo Shine, adding that he had been telling his girlfriend, Angel White, 24, that he was working late at the office, to cover for the fact that he was actually at a friend’s house designing the game. All told, the project took five months to create from start to finish. When it came time to execute on the plan, Fink, who works at SuperGenius, an art and animation support studio for video game developers that's based in Oregon City, Oregon, asked White if she would come in to test a retro-style game the company was developing.To cleverly capture the proposal on video, Fink set up the game and two cameras in the company conference room: one camera to record the actual game, and one to record White’s reaction. In the game, dubbed Knight Man, a dashing white knight attempts to save a princess by completing a series of challenges. Each successful challenge helps him build a golden ring that, in turn, unlocks the castle, where the princess is frozen in a crystal. (You can play the game here.)Meet Nico Jackson, Pippa Middleton’s (Maybe) Fiancé According to White, the golden ring tipped her off to the fact that this game might be something special. When I saw that the collectible ‘artifact’ pieces were starting to form a circle, it became apparent something amazing was about to happen. I was internally freaking out White tells Yahoo Shine, noting that, because Fink was behind her while she was playing, she didn’t notice anything unusual about his behavior.He played it cool the entire time, but he told me after the fact that he was internally freaking out, too! Once White freed the princess, a message popped up on the screen, saying Princess, I have searched far and wide and braved many dangers searching for my one and only. I believe with all my heart that I have found you. Angel White, would you do me the honor of sharing your life with me?” Fink then got down on one knee and presented White with an engagement ring, a moonstone set in oxidized silver, and the pair celebrated with 25 friends and family who were waiting outside the conference room. “I was absolutely exploding with emotion,” says White of the proposal. My mind was racing with thoughts like, 'I'm getting engaged!' 'Oh, my God, Robert is such a badass for putting this game together,' and 'I am the luckiest girl on the planet. This Wedding Proposal Brought to You by Aaron Paul
And while White did rescue the princess, she didn’t do as well in the game as she could have: At the end of the video, a heart partially filled with pixels is shown with the message, ‘You could do better.’ Says Fink, “I didn’t mean that she could do better by finding a more awesome guy. But if you collect all the pieces to the heart, it reads, '100% getting lucky tonight.'” Game over.

McDonald's Has To Get Rid Of 10 Million Pounds Of Mighty Wings

McDonald's has 10 million pounds of Mighty Wings it needs to sell soon.
The wings, which represent 20% of the chicken wings produced for a promotion, are in frozen storage writes Julie Jargon at The Wall Street Journal.

McDonald's was unable to sell enough according to Jargon.
Earlier this year, CEO Don Thompson said that the chicken wings aren't the smash success it had hoped for.
While Mighty Wings apparently met internal targets, the item "was not strong enough to offset" weak sales trends, Thompson said on a conference call.
Here are some of the reasons they flopped.
    Price:  In McDonald's terms, Mighty Wings are a premium product. The wings come in packs of three for $3.69, five for $5.59, and 10 for $9.69. Thompson said the prices, which are similar to Buffalo Wild Wings, were  not the most competitive.Spice:  Thompson said the wings were too spicy for many customers' tastes.
    Appearance:  The Mighty Wings looked too much like "McNuggets with bones," writes Susan Berfield at Bloomberg Businessweek.
    Economy:  Many McDonald's customers are still struggling financially—and are more likely to spend their hard-earned money on a tried-and-true favorite. The fast food giant is currently implementing a plan to get rid of the wings.

Hyundai ranks as most fuel-efficient U.S. automaker for 2013 — but the EPA won’t say so

In an industry that fights for every last sale, claiming the title for being the most fuel-efficient automaker in the country has traditionally been a huge win. Even in times like these when gas prices have eased, shoppers
often compare mileages as much as horsepower, and when gas prices soar — as they inevitably will — having that message at the ready gets more tire-kickers into dealerships.In the United States, it's a federal report that typically determines which automaker may call itself the most fuel-efficient. Yet this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency went out of its way to deny that accolade to the automaker with the highest average efficiency from vehicles it sold in the 2013 model year: Hyundai.
The South Korean automaker has itself partly to blame: After touting its fuel efficiency for years, the company admitted in November 2012 that it had incorrectly measured the fuel economy of 900,000 Hyundais and Kias, forcing it to write down the MPG values on 13 models. That sparked an ongoing EPA investigation into how automakers report mileages, since the EPA often checks only a fraction of the figures they estimate; the flaw that forced Ford to perform a similar reduction on the C-Max Hybrid.
Hyundai and Kia's corrected data has been accepted by the EPA and worked into its annual report on fuel economy, including its proclamation that the fuel efficiency of new U.S. cars and trucks has never been higher, averaging an estimated 24 mpg for 2013 models. But when the EPA released its breakdown of average efficiency by automakers, it didn't include Hyundai and Kia in the published table, citing the open investigation — choosing to give top marks to Mazda and Honda instead.
Here's the real list of 2013 fuel efficiency, drawn from the EPA's own data and automaker's sales estimates. This compares top-level makes that sold at least 40,000 vehicles, so for example Volkswagen includes Audi:

Automaker	Avg. MPG	City MPG	Hwy. MPG
Hyundai	28.3	23.6	33.2
Mazda	27.5	23.5	31.4
Kia	27.3	23.2	31.4
Honda	27.0	22.7	31.5
Subaru	26.2	22.7	29.7
Volkswagen	26.2	22.1	30.5
Nissan	25.3	21.6	29.0
Toyota	25.2	22.0	28.4
BMW	24.4	20.3	28.8
Industry average	24.0	20.2	28.1
Ford	22.6	18.9	26.4
Daimler	22.2	18.5	26.2
General Motors	22.0	18.0	26.5
Chrysler-Fiat	21.6	17.9	25.7

While these numbers are records, the industry still has much further to go to meet increasing standards, which in the United States would require an overall average near 39 mpg by 2025. It's the toughest engineering challenge facing automakers today, driving hybrids into supercars like the LaFerrari and the Porsche 918, and the revival of three-cylinder engines in cars like the Ford Fiesta and the Mitsubishi Mirage.
Earlier this week, General Motors announced it would retool a factory to build a 10-speed automatic transmission, leapfrogging Chrysler's 9-speed just introduced on the Jeep Cherokee. The more gears a transmission has, the more it can keep an engine running at peak efficiency — and stuffing gears into a transmission offers a lower-cost way to boost mileage than by adding an electric motor and battery.
But it's not quite fair to compare a small-car company like Mazda with a Detroit giant that sells hundreds of thousands of pickups every year; a small car has far less metal, plastic and heated/massaging leather to haul around than a luxury SUV. Thankfully, the EPA has been collecting a few more pieces of data that give a fuller picture of how well individual automakers are coping:

Automaker	Avg. MPG	Avg. weight (lbs.)	Engine Size (liters)	Horsepower	0-60 mph	Ton-MPG
Hyundai	28.3	3,371	2.19	194	9.2	N/A
Mazda	27.5	3,326	2.26	167	10.2	59.2
Kia	27.3	3,381	2.22	183	9.5	N/A
Honda	27.0	3,654	2.56	196	9.6	63.4
Subaru	26.2	3,646	2.45	177	10.4	62.0
VW	26.2	3,765	2.34	201	9.4	61.8
Nissan	25.3	3,790	2.87	212	9.6	63.3
Toyota	25.2	3,937	2.89	205	9.5	68.9
BMW	24.4	4,041	2.54	275	8.2	62.8
Industry average	24.0	4,041	2.94	230	9.3	62.8
Ford	22.6	4,460	3.06	262	9.0	64.6
Daimler	22.2	4,447	3.41	296	8.1	62.2
GM	22.0	4,437	3.51	253	9.4	61.2
Chrysler-Fiat	21.6	4,235	3.40	259	8.9	57.6

Take Mazda as an example: It's relied on squeezing the most it can from gasoline engines and cutting weight to increase efficiency, giving it the lightest yet slowest vehicles among new 2013 models. Hyundai and many others have shrunk their engines while maintaining or boosting power through turbocharging or other technology; luxury makes like BMW and Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler suffer because of their relatively hefty models and high-power engines.
Yet it's that last column that's most revealing. It's the EPA's calculation of test MPGs times average weight in tons — an attempt to measure how efficient an automaker's vehicles are controlling for weight. This helps the Detroit makes; although Chrysler lags, GM improves to mid-pack and Ford stands as the second-most fuel-saving carbuilder, thanks to its Ecoboost engines. But Toyota runs away in this measure, mainly due to 30 percent of its 2013 sales coming from hybrid models, from the Prius to the Highlander. Expect more automakers to follow this route as 2025 draws nearer.

4 Reasons Running is Best for Weight Loss

Bikini image in sexy style of USA:Any exercise is good exercise, but when it comes to losing weight, it's hard to beat running. After all, running is one of the most efficient ways to burn calories and get fit without having to restrict your diet. If you're
already a runner, keep on keepin' on. If you're not a runner yet but interested in losing weight, here are four reasons running can be the best exercise for weight loss.MORE: 10 Golden Rules for Weight Loss That Lasts.1. Running works even when you're at rest. High-intensity exercise like running stimulates more "afterburn" than low-intensity exercise. That is, even when comparing running with walking the same distance, studies find that running will lead to greater weight loss, most likely because your resting energy expenditure stays elevated after you run. In a long-term comparison study of runners and walkers, calories burned through running led to 90% more weight loss than calories burned through walking.2. Running is time-efficient. Even if the myth that running a mile and walking a mile burn the same number of calories were true (find out the truth about calorie burn here), running is a considerably faster way to burn those calories. Most people can run two or three times as far as they can walk in a given amount of time. At the other end of the spectrum, super-intense but short workouts, such as the "Scientific 7-minute Workout" from the Human Performance Institute, may burn more calories per minute per running, but because they're so short, your total caloric burn isn't as great if you ran.PLUS: The Truth About Running vs. Walking for Weight Loss3. Running is convenient. Though many of us have accumulated a vast arsenal of GPS gadgets and tech tees over the years, little is actually required to go running. You can do it alone. You can do it almost anywhere. You don't need any equipment beyond a pair of running shoes. (And if you're careful about injury and build up slowly, you may not even need those. Check out the Benefits of Barefoot Running for more.) For this reason alone, running is the best workout for weight loss because it's cheap, it's accessible, and there are fewer barriers to maintaining a routine, even while traveling.4. Two words: runner's high. The first rule of exercising for weight loss is that if you don't enjoy it, you won't stick with it. Fortunately, studies support what many runners have experienced on an anecdotal level--running can actually get you high. Scientists have found links between moderate to intense exercise and morphine-like brain chemicals called endocannabinoids, which suggest endorphins alone aren't responsible for the occasional flood of euphoria that rushes over you during a hard run. That floaty, happy sensation you had after your last race--makes you want to go for another run, right?

Giant 3-D Printer to Make An Entire House in 20 Hours

3-D Printing Concrete Houses Contour Crafting
3-D printers can make airplanes and their parts, food and more why not entire buildings? A professor at the University of Southern California aims to print out whole houses using layers of concrete and adding
plumbing, electrical wiring and other guts as it moves upward.Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis at USC created a layered fabrication method he calls Contour Crafting, which he says can be used to build a single house or a colony of houses.It could be used with concrete or adobe he says. Khoshnevis has been developing the system for several years and hosted a presentation about it at a recent TEDx even It would use a movable gantry taller than the house you want to build. Concrete pours out and is set down layer by layer, like a typical 3-D printer would sinter plastic together. It could be ideal for emergency housing, commercial or low-income structures, but it could also be used to print out customized luxury homes, according to Khoshnevis. Or, he adds, it might be ideal for the moon or Mars. “Contour Crafting technology has the potential to build safe, reliable, and affordable lunar and Martian structures, habitats, laboratories, and other facilities before the arrival of human beings his website reads. Khoshnevis is hardly the only 3-D printing expert advocating this Enrico Dini the Italian inventor of the D-Shape 3-D printer, wants to 3-D print moon buildings out of lunar regolith.On Earth, the automated system could prevent delays, injuries and other labor issues related to human workers. With this system, maybe a 3-D printer could beat the Chinese attempt to construct the world’s tallest building in three months.

Sleet, ice, deep-freeze hit large swath of US

A powerful storm system that spread hazardous snow, sleet and freezing rain widely across the nation's midsection rumbled toward the densely populated Eastern seaboard on Sunday, promising more of the same.
Forecasters said the potent system already blamed for numerous power outages and thousands of weekend
flight cancellations elsewhere, has Virginia and other Mid-Atlantic states in its icy sights before the Northeast is up next.Icy conditions were expected to last through the rest of the weekend from Texas to Ohio to Tennessee. And officials warned a major ice storm was possible in Virginia's Appalachian region along the busy Interstate 81 corridor.In Virginia, state Emergency Management spokeswoman Laura Southard said the storm had the potential to be a "historic ice event.This forecast is very concerning to us," Southard said. "I've worked multiple disasters, but I've never worked an ice storm with a forecast like this. It's just really important for everybody to take extra precautions.Forecasters said the storm caused freezing rain and icy conditions in parts of Tennessee as it surged across that state late Saturday and early Sunday. It also has been blamed for plunging temperatures as a cold front sweeps down from the North on the jet stream.

Bob Nations Jr., director of the emergency operations command center for the Memphis area, said early Sunday that ice coating roads, bridges and overpasses caused several multi-vehicle crashes. He issued a statement urging drivers to use extreme caution, particularly on bridges and overpasses.
Police in Memphis, meanwhile, urged motorists to stay home altogether if they could avoid travel early Sunday.Ice had built up on the windshields and roofs of parked cars throughout Memphis during the day Saturday. Law enforcement reported an increase in traffic crashes, and scattered power outages affected more than 3,000 people, emergency and utility officials said.
"It looks like we're going to be stuck with this for one, two, maybe three days said Memphis attorney Sam Chafetz, who tried to get off the roads before the worst of the storm hit.I'm not afraid of the ice and snow, I'm afraid of the other drivers who don't know how to drive in it.Forecasters said motorists traveling Interstate 81 between Roanoke, Va., and Hagerstown, Md., should be on the lookout Sunday for any deterioration in conditions like that in Texas when the storm crossed parts of that state Friday and Saturday.

In Texas earlier, icy and treacherous sections of Interstate 35 north of Dallas were closed for hours at a time after tractor-trailers had trouble climbing hills, wrecks occurred and vehicles stalled, authorities said.
Tina Pacheco, her husband and two friends were traveling through Texas on their way to Mexico when the ice-laden interstate became so treacherous that traffic came to a standstill. They were forced to spend Friday night in their pickup truck, which they kept running for heat.
We couldn't go anywhere," she said, adding, "It's a good thing we had gas.Ice up to 4 inches thick was reported on one interstate in Texas at the height of the storm there. And about 75,000 customers in the Dallas area went without power for a time Saturday, down from a peak of more than 270,000 earlier. Oklahoma utilities reported more than 7,500 power outages across the state and western Arkansas.
The weather forced the cancellation of countless events, including Sunday's Dallas Marathon, which was expected to draw 25,000 runners, some of whom had trained for months, and the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis, expected to include 20,000.
Around 7 inches of snow fell in northeast Arkansas and the Missouri boot heel, according to the National Weather Service in Memphis, and 8 to 9 inches fell in parts of southern Indiana. The storm dumped a foot of snow and more in some areas of Illinois, with police scrambling to respond to dozens of accidents and forced scores of schools to remain closed.
Residents were told to prepare for a few days without power, prompting them to rush to stores to stock up on groceries, buy electricity generators and gas up their cars. Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell reminded residents to check on family and friends who are elderly, disabled or live alone.

How to Fake a Clean House in 45 Minutes or Less

Sexy lady girls in decorated party:Throwing a party seemed like a fabulous idea three weeks ago, but now you are in a panic because there is less than one hour to go before the doorbell rings. Maybe you were held up at work or got  stuck in traffic. Or perhaps you just procrastinated whatever the reason, you need to tidy up fast and save a few minutes to spruce yourself up as well. Fortunately, you don't need to deep-clean your home to get it party-ready.
 Infomercial Cleaning Products Put to the Test
Your kitchen and your bathroom are the most important rooms to tackle when you have guests coming over," Frank Trotta, owner of urbanmaidgreen.com, which was named the best green cleaning service in 2011 by New York magazine, tells
Yahoo Shine.No matter how big your house is, everyone always congregates in the kitchen.Trotta recommends cleaning any shiny surfaces that might catch the eye, including appliances, fixtures, and mirrors. He's also a fan of microfiber cloths—they are miraculous, reusable dust magnets — and says use them to give the furniture in public areas a quick once-over.
A Nontoxic Cleaning Product You Can Make Yourself
Don't waste your time on big projects like scrubbing the bathtub: It's the clutter that really makes a home look messy. Guests won't notice a few crumbs in the carpet, and you can always draw the shades to cover grimy windows. Instead, Trotta says it's important to stow away magazines, papers, remote control units, and other loose items.
Other speed-cleaning tips:
 If your sink is full of dishes or silverware and you don't have time to wash, hide them in a big stockpot and deal with them later. Or stash them in the oven if you aren't going to be using it.
All those school drawings and grocery lists that are stuck to the fridge with magnets? Take them down for the party they make your kitchen look messy
Get really friendly with microfiber cloths. You won't need additional cleaning products for this guerrilla-style attack, just a little water and elbow grease. Look for obvious sticky or dirty spots, instead of tackling an entire counter or other surface area. The same goes for floors and stairs —  just turn up the lights so you can see any dirty spots and give them a quick rub.
Spruce up your bathroom in one minute or less: Shake the bathmat into the tub and close the shower curtain. Clear any personal items from the counter. Microfiber-wipe the mirror. Change the hand towels and light a candle. Bam.That lint roller you use on your best clothing also works great on the cat's favorite chair.
 Polish kitchen and bathroom faucets. This may not seem important, but Trotta says if they sparkle, the whole room will look better.While microfiber cloths are ideal, if you don't have any, grab the dishtowel or hand towel that's already hanging in the room, get it damp and do a spot-clean.
    Keep one side of your sofa and chair cushions "for company only.Just flip them over when you want the room to look special and you won't have to worry about stains, pet hair and fading.
    Don't have much storage space? Grab a laundry basket or even a big cardboard box, and walk (OK, dash) through all the public areas. Use it to stash all your clutter — you can always sort it out later. As a last resort (or if you like a more "lived-in" look…ahem), stack piles of books and magazines neatly and top with a knickknack or small vase — your clutter will suddenly appear fashionable.
    Make your bed neatly. It's the one thing guests will focus on if they see your bedroom. Don't worry about clean sheets they are hidden under the bedspread. Remember when you were eight years old and your mom told you to clean your room? Shoving everything under the bed still works.
    Tidy up your entrance area. Clear away extra coats and shoes, stash your mail, and put out some flowers if you have the space. It's the first area guests will see and, if it appears organized, it will make the rest of your home appear cleaner.Take out the trash and open the windows for a few minutes to eliminate any bad odors. You will need the empty garbage cans for the party, anyway. If your home has been invaded by an army of dust bunnies and you need to clean the floor, forget using a broom and just do a mad vacuum through the high-traffic areas where people are likely to gather.In the final few minutes before guests arrive, after you have applied your lipstick or tucked in your shirt,  take a deep breath, dim the lights, and make your home smell inviting. You can simmer mulled wine or cider on the stove for a warm and spicy scent or just spritz a little deodorizer near your living room seating area, bathroom, and kitchen. Trotta likes the biodegradable products made by Simple Green. And never apologize for the condition of your home — your guests came to have fun, not to give the white glove test to your countertop.

8 Facts Why Women Are Better Than Men

Everyone knows that men are from Mars, and women are from Venus. That is why we tend to do the same things in completely different ways. And there are certain things women do much better than men
1. Women Study Better

According to the research, conducted at the University of Georgia, women are better students than men. This is mainly due to the fact that girls find it easier to expand the boundaries of their thinking, and their mind
is more flexible and loyal to the unknown.
In addition, women are more attentive and organized in terms of their homework. By the way, women are 34% more likely to complete their degree at the Institute, which is not the case with men, who are even likely to quit studying during the final year at the university.
 
2. Women Are Smarter
According to the IQ-tests conducted by the research institutes in Australia, Britain, the U.S. and Western Europe, the average intelligence of women is much higher than that of men. If you do not believe this fact, conduct an experiment and find out the IQ levels in your office.



3. Women Are Tidier

The study conducted at the University of San Diego in several thousand offices around the world showed that male workplace contained 10% -20% more bacteria than that of a woman. Psychologists explain this by the fact that men are afraid to seem too… emotional and housewifely to others, that is why they pay so little attention to the cleanliness of their workplace.
 
4. Women Are Better at Job Interviews

The latest study, conducted by the Institute of Eastern Ontario, demonstrated that women find it much easier to cope with various job interviews. As a rule, women prepare for the interview carefully and try to predict the possible questions and situations, in contrast to men, who are often baffled at a job interview.

5. Women Get Prettier with Each Generation

Recent studies of German scientists have shown that in the process of evolution women are getting more beautiful, while men, in general, remain the same. The researchers studied the appearance of three thousand people representing four generations and found that with each new generation girls were getting healthier, more attractive and proportionate. As for the boys, this tendency was not observed.
 
6. Women Survive Car Accidents More Often

It is an unpleasant thing, but it is true: men are 77% more likely to die in a car accident than women. This is the conclusion drawn by the European scientists, who studied road accidents in the EU. The reason for this result is largely due to the fact that women are 10 times more likely to wear a seatbelt, when driving a car.
 
7. Women Eat Healthier Foods

It’s all logical. Women take care of their figure and know that fried foods and half-prepared products are their worst enemies. So they eat more fruits and vegetables. But many men do not seem to notice their “beer” belly and a double chin. In addition, not many men can cook, so they mostly eat fast food, which is a real salvation for them. This is confirmed by the research conducted at the University of Minnesota, which studied daily rations of 14,000 men and women in developed countries.

8. Women Have a Stronger Immunity

It’s no secret that women cope with a common cold and other physical disorders in the body much easier. A secret weapon helps them – the estrogen hormone. It is this hormone that destroys an enzyme that prevents the body’s defense against bacteria.

Benefits of Vitamin D in pregnancy

Benefits of Vitamin D in pregnancy may prevent multiple sclerosis
PARIS: Researchers said Thursday they have found evidence that Vitamin D supplements for pregnant women in the world's colder, darker countries may stave off multiple sclerosis (MS) in their offspring.
The finding adds to a growing body of work showing a link between low Vitamin D levels and the debilitating
disease, which sees the immune system attacking the body's own nerve fibres.Data on more than 150,000 MS patients born in places north of 52 degrees, revealed a heightened risk for those born in April -- a month preceded by a long period without sunlight, said a paper in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.Of the total, 13,300 were born in April compared to 11,600 in November -- a lower-risk month after summer in the northern hemisphere, British researchers wrote.Month of birth has a significant effect on subsequent MS risk they said.This is likely to be due to ultraviolet light exposure and maternal Vitamin D levels.They added, though, it could also be "any factor that varies in a similar seasonal and latitudinal manner.The data was taken from individuals born between 1930 and 1980, from studies done in Britain, the United States, Italy, Israel, Finland, Scotland, Sweden and Canada -- parts of which see little sunlight between the months of October and March.About 100,000 people in Britain and about 400,000 in the United States are believed to suffer from MS, a disease that affects vision, movement, balance, sensation, bladder control and eventually also memory and thinking.There is no cure.Study co-author Sreeram Ramagopalan from the Queen Mary University of London told AFP the findings amounted to an added MS risk of five percent for people born in April -- about five extra births per million.Pregnant mothers need to ensure they are Vitamin D replete at all times Ramagopalan said in an email exchange.Because Vitamin D deficiency is a massive problem at the moment due to living at high latitudes and lifestyle changes (wearing sunscreen etc), mothers may need to take several thousand international units of Vitamin D3 to become Vitamin D replete.Humans need Vitamin D, which our bodies produce from exposure to sunlight or extract from food, for healthy bones Suspected links between a lack of vitamin D and an increased risk of death, including from heart disease and certain types of cancer, have been the subject of medical research for several years.Researchers have also focused on its possible role in MS.It is thought that maternal Vitamin D levels during pregnancy affect the immune status of the developing foetus, and hence modulates subsequent MS risk wrote the authors.North of 52 degrees latitude lies the northern parts of England, the Scandinavian countries, and most of Russia and Canada.

Truck Carrying 'Extremely Dangerous' Radioactive Material Stolen in Mexico

A truck carrying extremely dangerous material used in medical treatment has been stolen in Mexico officials said.The truck was transporting cobalt-60 from a hospital in the northern city of Tijuana to a radioactive
waste storage facility when it was stolen in Tepojaco near Mexico City Monday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement. Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope and was being used in radiotherapy.
Mexican authorities are conducting a search for the material and have issued a statement to alert the public, the IAEA said.The truck is a white Volkswagen Worker with license plate 726-DT-8, Mexico's National Commission for Nuclear Security and Safeguards said.At the time the truck was stolen, the source was properly shielded. However, the source could be extremely dangerous to a person if removed from the shielding, or if it was damaged the IAEA said in the statement.There was no indication from officials that the truck was headed for the U.S.U.S. law enforcement and Department of Homeland Security officials are aware of the theft and working closely with Mexican authorities, a U.S. official briefed on the situation told ABC News.Border officials armed with radiation detection devices have been alerted. It is unclear who stole the material and if they know what they have, the official said.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

 Science and Technology is a double edge sword it cuts both ways depending on how it is used science and technology can make or destroy us. It is essential that we must know and understand its advantages and disadvantages.
ADVANTAGES OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Communication
From hand-held computers to touch phones, technological advancements in the field of communication are endless. The means and the modes of communication are unlimited. Some of the benefits of technological advancements in the field of communication are:
  Speed : time is no longer a constraint in communication
    Clarity : With megapixel images and video, and high fidelity audio systems clarity in communication has become a never-before experience
    Proximity :  technological advancements have made the world a smaller place to live in
    Dissemination : whether spreading information, broadcasting news, or sharing knowledge, technology has made it faster, easier, and smarter
Education
Technological advancements in the field of education are fast evolving. Today, e-learning is a familiar and popular term. Some of the benefits of technology in this field are:
Personalized learning experience: Learners are able to take control and manage their own learning. They set their own goals, manage the process and content of learning, and communicate with peers.
Immediate response: Most e-learning programs provide immediate feedbacks on learner assessments. Similarly there are features such as chat, discussion boards, e-libraries, etc that allow clarifications at a faster pace than in traditional classrooms.
Self-paced: Learners can chart courses at their own pace. This ensures higher levels of motivation both in terms of completing the course as well as in performance.
Greater access: Technological advancements have opened education to learners with learning disabilities and in remote locations.
Healthcare
The marriage between medicine and technology has reshaped healthcare and revolutionized the medical profession. Some of the major benefits are:
Secure environment: Technology allows physicians and patients to interact in a secure and comfortable environment to discuss sensitive issues.
Flexibility: Physicians can answer routine and less critical queries at a convenient time.
Cost- and time-saving: Physicians can follow-up, provide advice, and re-direct patients to resources on the Internet. This saves cost and time by reducing office visits.
Medical devices: Medical aids allow patients to continue recovery at home reducing their hospital stay.
Vulnerable population: Technology aids the very young, elderly, and patients with complex birth defects, chronic illnesses, and disabled children by alleviating their problems so that they can continue living in their homes.
Society
Today technology pervades almost all aspects of our daily life from shopping, banking, making travel arrangements to university admissions. Some of the benefits are:
Convenience: Provides a great deal of convenience in expediting personal and business transactions be it shopping, banking, or simply paying bills.
Speed: From sending gifts to making payments everything gets a done with a few clicks.
Communication: The world is a smaller place and technology allows everyone to keep in touch with their families and friends at a more affordable cost.
Accuracy: Technology has reduced errors in mundane and monotonous chores, saving time and cost.
Development: Technology has brought about development in many fields such as medicine, government, business, education, etc.
Technology has evolved and transformed our lives and society. Overall, it has brought about tremendous growth and benefit to mankind.
DISADVANTAGES OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Pollution
One of the biggest concerns about modern technology today is pollution. Vehicles and major manufacturing plants are releasing ever-increasing amounts of carbon dioxide, and that may greatly contribute to global warming.
Fewer Jobs
As computing technology and robotic mechanisms become increasingly advanced, fewer jobs are available due to the fact that machines can perform a task more efficiently at a quicker pace.
Social Isolation
Modern technology has made it possible to connect more frequently, email and text messaging do not lend themselves to intimate revelations or in-depth conversations. These are things that may be necessary to combat loneliness and isolation.
Competency
With spell check and automatic technology, simple knowledge and calculations are done for most people. While this does save time and effort, it causes many individuals to become dependent on technology, which can be problematic in situations without modern advancement.
Behavioral Problems
Because of the amount of time children spend watching television, views and behaviors are affected. One example is evidenced in a study by researchers at the University of Michigan that spanned 15 years. It found a link between childhood television viewing and adult violent behavior. Other studies found links between TV viewing and smoking, drinking and risky sexual behavior.
Let us not forget that anything that is out of control or in excess is always bad.

Technology, Time and Being

In America at least, we are still in the ‘new toy’ phase of high technology. Every new gadget that comes out receives oohs and aahs in the media, with the subtext, ‘aren’t we the most amazing people for inventing all these wonderful things!’Multi-tasking can be defined as making a virtue out of doing three or four things at the same time without paying attention to any of them. The very machines that are supposed to free people from slavery to busyness are driving them to mindlessness. We need a basic reorientation in the relationship to our machines.For any mature adult, high technology is, by itself, quite boring. Disconnected from the deeper aspects of life, technology for technology’s sake is like talking just to talkan empty enterprise. The

 interesting question has to do with how we integrate the emerging technologies into our lives.Underlying that issue is the age-old question of what it means to be a human being. Ironically, as technology sweeps everything before it, its rampant development is pushing essential questions to the fore, driving ordinary
thinking and feeling people to explore questions that were once only the realm of philosophers.In the hopefully not-so-distant future, when people have dropped the ‘gee-whiz’ attitude toward new technologies, there will be a seamless integration with machines in our daily lives. Can that be achieved without losing the distinction between technology and life, and allowing the domination of our lives by machines?Incredibly fast, powerful, and small computers should free people from the illusory importance of busyness and the illusory competence of multi-tasking. Rather than spur an increasing frenzy of activity, as they are now doing, machines could assist in the rightful balance between activity and inactivity, and allow time for being and non-action, which are always first.Of course that means deeply reexamining time, at once the most valuable thing we have, and the greatest impediment to our realization as human beings.Busyness is no substitute for being; indeed, the perpetually busy are wasting their lives. To a large extent, the more one does, the less one lives, and is. But why are so many people, who have the time, space, and leisure to put what is first first, refusing to do so?Psychological time prevents us from meeting things fully. I’ve never lived by the notion, “every day a tiny bit. It’s slow process We grow unseen, through negation most of all, but never through time.Employing time the whole idea of gradualness is procrastination and decay. I’m not entirely liberated from time, but I’m sure that one never changes gradually. Evolution doesn’t even work that way, through gradual change, though the word has come to mean exactly that a slow process, bit by bit, gradually in time. That means never.Of course, the intelligent use of time does not, in itself, awaken the timeless, and with it wholeness, peace and understanding. After all, many monks have wasted their lives following rituals and pursuing methods of meditation. For timelessness to come into being in one’s being, one has to take the time to learn how to observe and question within oneself, and do the spadework of self-knowing on a daily basis.Hopefully, the childish fascination and fetish with high-tech toys is just a phase of human development. With a new relationship to machines, the development of the human being could be served, rather than diminished by them.There can be a harmonious integration with our machines, which

certainly doesn’t mean becoming cyborgs or unduly dependent on them. Such integration would allow time for the truly important things, like being in nature, spending time with one’s children, family, and friends, inquiring with others, and solitarily exploring the infinite universe within.Science is based on the testable premise that everything in nature is explainable in terms of physical mechanisms made of purely material substance. But even if that principle holds true, as it no doubt will, for every phenomenon that humans encounter in the universe, it does not mean we will ever come to understand everything. There is no bottom to the cosmos, just an infinite regress of mysteries waiting for science to discover and comprehend.There has always been a symbiosis between science and technology, but now these two driving forces of the human prospect are nearly synonymous. A third force has become interwoven with them–the market.Technology, which is increasingly linked to and derived from science and the market, neither uncovers mysteries, nor evokes feelings of mystery. Technology is application, and it is only as beneficial to human life as we are intelligent in using and integrating it into lives lived beyond its domain.
