Know the Organic Art to set yourself apart from the rest Your daily beauty products contain all sorts of dangerous stuff. Use these safer ones instead. Consumers often express a preference for skin products with organic and natural ingredients. The personal skin care market based on natural products has shown steady growth. Clinical and laboratory studies have identified activities in many natural ingredients that have potential beneficial activities for personal skincare, but there is a shortage of convincing evidence for natural product efficacy in medical problems. What is there in it? Much of the recent literature reviews plant-derived ingredients, which may include herbs, roots, flowers, and essential oils, but natural substances in skin care products include animal-derived products such as beeswax and minerals. These substances may be combined with various carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants, and emulsifiers. Why choose organic? Experience Nature! By using natural and organic ingredients, we are – in our own small but significant way by honoring mother nature, accepting her gifts, and using them to sustain and nourish our being. There is…
Mental Cases “Wading sloughs of flesh these helpless wander, Treading blood from lungs that had loved laughter.” Second stanza line 4 and 5 The speaker in the poem is the poet. The mental cases poem depicts the trauma as the subject and physical symptoms of psychological torture. The poem tries to tell the reader, the psychological trauma, and shocking moments that the soldiers who participated in the third war underwent. There is an emotional and mental breakdown for those who got the chance to go back to their families where the war resulted in psychological wounds. Wilfred Owen, as a soldier-poet, expresses her emotional aspects of the war encounters through a language limited by insensitive ideologies. The poet knows the veterans and seems to be their friend The poet uses biblical allusion, where there are words from the Bible and the works of Shakespeare. He, for instance, talks of breakdown and perpetual hell. Such indicates a lot of suffering. Words choosing are frightening and decisively disgusting. He does not spare the reader the kind of physical signs the shell-shocked men…
Armstrong’s Experiences of Racism Introduction Louis Armstrong, popularly known as Satchmo, is one of America’s significant musicians in America’s jazz music industry. The nickname, Satchmo, was a short form of “Satchel Mouth.” He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on 4th August 1901(Johnson 173). One of the most significant factors that make him one of the most memorable musicians in America’s history is his significantly great ability to play trumpets. Armstrong was born t a time when jazz was still in the process of gaining nation-wide recognition. There were significantly few musicians making jazz music at the time(Johnson 173). He was born and raised in a community where poverty was an order of the day. The economic constraints during his childhood, however, did not prevent him from pursuing his dreams. He employed various strategies that would see him overcome many odds. He tried to perform his music in front of his age-mate boys during his early stages of development. He was later sent to Colored Waifs Home as a juvenile delinquent in 1913. That was one of the significant events…
women in their 30s and early 40s are more sexually active than any other group It may come as a surprise to some people that women in their 30s and early 40s are more sexually active than any other group. That is according to an article released by David Buss, a psychologist from the University of Texas, and company. It is easy to assume the luscious and fertile women in their early 20s, and post-pubescent stages would be more sexually active. However, the reports from the 827 women in the study showed otherwise. Women in the 27-45 age category reported having more sex, and the intensity of their sexual fantasies was higher than in other classes. They also reported more willingness to casual sex and fantasized more about other people besides their partners. Buss and company believe evolutionary psychology plays a role in this. They think that this high libido in middle-ages stems from the high mortality rate among our ancestors. As more children died, the woman came under more pressure to continue her lineage. Fertility decreases with age for…
Managing the Absence of Patient Visibility in Telephone:A Qualitative Descriptive Study Triage Introduction The basis of this paper is the concept of managing the absence of a patient via telephone through a descriptive study triage, at this moment referred to as ‘Tele nurse.’ Mainly, this involves calling a patient back after a patient had made a call to monitor the progress of the patient concerning his/her prognosis. An example of this scenario would be a nurse making a call to find out the course of gastroenteritis in a child, once or severally, after the initial phone call. According to Pettinari and Jessopp (2001), managing the absence of patient visibility in telephone is different from making a follow-up call because follow-up calls are concerned with knowing the progress of a patient after their stay in the hospital. However, the former is concerned with giving appropriate support to the individual seeking care by enabling the reexamination of the disease status and providing useful self-care advice. I got interested in this area during my engagement with a local hospital as a clinical officer.…

Stages of memory From the day a child is born, his or her brain receives massive information about themselves and their surroundings. The brain of human beings receives stores and processes information every single day. Memory is an essential part of human life. Human memory is that part of the brain through which information and data are received, stored, and retrieved. The human brain can retain acquired knowledge for a short time or a long time. This paper will focus on the three critical stages of memory which are, encoding, storing, and retrieval. Additionally, this paper will discuss the forms of memory storage, which are sensory, short-term, and long-term memory, and the factors that affect memory.

military self-interest as a factor resulting in a Military coup For a long time, people perceived that military coups no longer exists. However, in recent years in 2013 and 2014, Egypt and Thailand reminded us that the military could take part in political issues. The military is supposed to protect the state; it is difficult to understand that the same army can go against the government. For coups to happen, the military must meet specific qualifications, including; the Armed forces must have the capacity. The interests must also be genuine, the military must have some degree of popularity, and there should be no legitimate opponents. If the factors are absent, a coup may fail to happen, like the case of Turkey. This paper takes a keen look at military self-interest as a factor resulting in a Military coup. The work also compares the military coups in Nigeria and Brazil; and the utility theories explaining why they occur. To stage successful coups, self-interest armies only require one thing; the support of the public. The troops just need to convince a certain…
