Extra Care For Aging Skin Prevents Wrinkles

February 23, 2009

As our bodies age and start to lose their youthful zip, the need to care for our skin rapidly increases. The times of naturally looking young are past, and it’s not only because we may have put on a few pounds or lost a little hair. Our aging skin becomes fragile, loses it’s elasticity, wrinkles appear, and it takes on a dull, drab appearance, as it cries out for extra care, and some special attention.

This article looks at skin problems that are encountered by the aging population, and emphasizes the need to give our skin extra care and attention as we get older, in order to maintain a healthy looking complexion… Read Story Here

Anti Ageing Process Uses Newborn Foreskin Cells

November 18, 2008

By Leah Hardy
This treatment, called Vavelta, has been developed by the British biomedical company Intercytex. What is radical about it is that it seems to rejuvenate and restructure ageing and damaged skin from the inside by repopulating the lower layers of the skin with millions of healthy young skin cells. Unlike fillers and Botox, it is claimed to be permanent.

Vavelta is a clear liquid in which tiny skin cells, called fibroblasts, are suspended. These are derived from baby foreskins donated by mothers at a hospital in the U.S. after routine circumcision. The mothers and babies are screened before the foreskins, which would otherwise be discarded, are used. Once in Britain, they are divided into pieces less than a centimetre square and treated with enzymes to release the fibroblasts. These are grown in sterile conditions in labs.

Fibroblast cells are responsible for the repair and maintenance of youthful skin, pumping out collagen to create a line-free complexion. But as we age, they become dormant and many die. In trials, Vavelta appears to make skin smoother, thicker, more resilient and younger.

This procedure, although expensive, may be a god send for those whose faces are disfigured with acne or burn scars. According to Dr Robin Stones, the Court House Clinic Medical Director for the North of England, patients who have sun damaged skin, burns or scars seem to respond very well to Vavelta treatment. Caesarean scars may also be successfully treated by using this procedure.

The process is approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the U.S., and is monitored by the Human Tissue Authority in Britain.

How To Increase The Response Rate To Online Advertising

October 11, 2008

Nowadays, it is getting harder to get high response rate to online advertising. I am not scaring you but merely stating the fact, from experience.

In the past, a simple squeeze page consisting of a headline, some tips and an opt-in form can easily get an opt-in conversion of 10%. But now, the conversion of such a squeeze page is hardly 5%!

Is online advertising dead?

I don’t think so. I’m still seeing advertisements with good response rate and, after studying some of the online advertising sales letters which, have a good response rate, I realize that the fundamentals of online advertising have not changed… read on

McCain or McSaim? Jack Cafferty Explains

August 22, 2008

Jack Cafferty has penned this one editorial, I believe, with sincere patriotic concern and without regard to partisan agenda – I ask that you give him your undivided attention. He’s got something important to say about John McCain, and I think it’s vital that his message reach as many voting Americans as possible… read on

Ballesteros North West of Magapit

July 15, 2008

As luck would have it, the approaches to Magapit bridge were clear and afforded us the opportunity of pausing on the bridge to take a couple of photos. We are heading west and our next stop will be Alacapan.

After crossing the bridge, we drove to the top of the small range that bounds the western shore of the Cagayan River, and passed through the village of Bangag. There are coconut and banana plantations on the side of the hill, and we notice that the air is clean and crisp as we begin the descent to the low country. Unfortunately there is no elevated view of the river behind us so we focus on the road ahead, which is paved and carries only a moderate amount of traffic, at this time… Read on

As our jeepney rounds the bend, I am presented with a splendid view of the Magapit Bridge spanning the Cagayan River. The village of Magapit is situated on the eastern shore of the Cagayan River at the junction of two major arterial roads, which link the northern municipalities with the south and the northeastern municipalities with the northwest.

Originally a gift from Japan, the Magapit suspension bridge was the first of it’s type to be erected in Asia. The bridge was constructed during the nineteen seventies and is most important, as it is the only bridge spanning the Cagayan river in the far north of Cagayan Province. It provides a more direct route from the northwestern municipalities to the capital city of Tuguegarao, as well as a road link to the northern port city of Aparri… Read on

Pilgrimage to Our Lady of Piat

July 2, 2008

Driving became much more difficult as we neared our destination. The peddler’s stalls that lined the roadside, fronted the very edge of the carriageway, this slowed traffic to a walk, and even made passing oncoming traffic a tedious task. Hawkers, many of them dressed in festive costumes, jogged alongside the slow moving line of vehicles offering food, refreshments and souvenirs, adding a carnival atmosphere to this annual religious pilgrimage… Read on

Manila City Intriguing Beautiful and Exciting

June 20, 2008

After lunch, my friends and I journeyed over to Intramuros, visited City Hall and crossed to the square opposite in order to admire the Andres Bonifacio Shrine. We strolled casually across the square, taking random pictures along the way, as we headed towards the river.

By the time my companions and I reached the river crossing it was getting late in the afternoon, and I noticed that as the sun quickly descends beneath the western skyline, it casts it’s rays through the smog laden clouds that are cloaking the City, presenting an aura of mystery and intrigue. The iron bridge over the Pasig river provides me with a vantage point to capture this scene that could be part of a Sci-Fi movie. The tepid breeze coming from the river below is filled with the stench of rotting garbage mingled with the smell of diesel fumes and polluted air… read on
