FashionRe: How can I Get Rid Of Sunburn by KMB: 8:39pm On Jul 16, 2013
Add bicarbonate of soda to your bath water. Use a good sunscreen with spf of at least 15.

http://www.skincancer.org/prevention/sun-protection/sunscreen/sunscreens-explained

The sunscreen aisle of a drugstore offers lots of choices, but which one is right for you? We show you how to find the sunscreen that best fits your lifestyle.

Sunscreens are products combining several ingredients that help prevent the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin. Two types of ultraviolet radiation, UVA and UVB, damage the skin, age it prematurely, and increase your risk of skin cancer.

UVB is the chief culprit behind sunburn, while UVA rays, which penetrate the skin more deeply, are associated with wrinkling, leathering, sagging, and other light-induced effects of aging (photoaging). They also exacerbate the carcinogenic effects of UVB rays, and increasingly are being seen as a cause of skin cancer on their own. Sunscreens vary in their ability to protect against UVA and UVB.

Most sunscreens with an SPF of 15 or higher do an excellent job of protecting against UVB. SPF — or Sun Protection Factor — is a measure of a sunscreen's ability to prevent UVB from damaging the skin. Here's how it works: If it takes 20 minutes for your unprotected skin to start turning red, using an SPF 15 sunscreen theoretically prevents reddening 15 times longer — about five hours.

Another way to look at it is in terms of percentages: SPF 15 filters out approximately 93 percent of all incoming UVB rays. SPF 30 keeps out 97 percent and SPF 50 keeps out 98 percent. They may seem like negligible differences, but if you are light-sensitive, or have a history of skin cancer, those extra percentages will make a difference. And as you can see, no sunscreen can block all UV rays.

But there are problems with the SPF model: First, no sunscreen, regardless of strength, should be expected to stay effective longer than two hours without reapplication. Second, "reddening" of the skin is a reaction to UVB rays alone and tells you little about what UVA damage you may be getting. Plenty of damage can be done without the red flag of sunburn being raised.

Anyone over the age of six months should use a sunscreen daily. Even those who work inside are exposed to ultraviolet radiation for brief periods throughout the day, especially if they work near windows, which generally filter out UVB but not UVA rays.

Children under the age of six months should not be exposed to the sun, since their skin is highly sensitive to the chemical ingredients in sunscreen as well as to the sun's rays. Shade and protective clothing are the best ways to protect infants from the sun.

The answer depends on how much sun exposure you're anticipating. In all cases we recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen offering protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Many after-shave lotions and moisturizers have a sunscreen (usually SPF 15 or greater) already in them, and this is sufficient for everyday activities with a few minutes here and there in the sun. However, if you work outside or spend a lot of time outdoors, you need stronger, water-resistant, beachwear-type sunscreen that holds together on your skin. The "water resistant" and "very water resistant" types are also good for hot days or while playing sports, because they're less likely to drip into your eyes when you sweat. However, these sunscreens may not be as good for everyday wear. They are stickier, don't go as well with makeup, and need to be reapplied every two hours.

Many of the sunscreens available in the US today combine several different active chemical and physical sunscreen ingredients in order to provide broad-spectrum protection. Usually, at least three active ingredients are called for. These generally include PABA derivatives, salicylates, and/or cinnamates (octylmethoxycinnamate and cinoxate) for UVB absorption; benzophenones (such as oxybenzone and sulisobenzone) for shorter-wavelength UVA protection; and avobenzone, ecamsule (MexorylTM), titanium dioxide, or zinc oxide for the remaining UVA spectrum.

To ensure that you get the full SPF of a sunscreen, you need to apply 1 oz – about a shot glass full. Studies show that most people apply only half to a quarter of that amount, which means the actual SPF they have on their body is lower than advertised. During a long day at the beach, one person should use around one half to one quarter of an 8 oz. bottle. Sunscreens should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the ingredients to fully bind to the skin. Reapplication of sunscreen is just as important as putting it on in the first place, so reapply the same amount every two hours. Sunscreens should also be reapplied immediately after swimming, toweling off, or sweating a great deal.

Wearing sunscreen can cause vitamin D deficiency.
There is some controversy regarding this issue, but few dermatologists believe (and no studies have shown) that sunscreens cause vitamin D deficiency. Also, vitamin D is available in dietary supplements and foods such as salmon and eggs, as well as enriched milk and orange juice.

If it's cold or cloudy outside, you don't need sunscreen.
This is not true. Up to 40 percent of the sun's ultraviolet radiation reaches the earth on a completely cloudy day. This misperception often leads to the most serious sunburns, because people spend all day outdoors with no protection from the sun.

Eighty percent of your sun exposure comes as a child, so it's too late to do anything now.
It appears that this universally promoted idea was based largely on a misinterpretation. A recent multi-center study showed that we get less than 25 percent of our total sun exposure by age 18. In fact, it is men over the age of 40 who spend the most time outdoors, and get the highest annual doses of UV rays. And since adult Americans are living longer and spending more leisure time outdoors, preventing ongoing skin damage will continue to be an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

Buy a high-quality product with an SPF of 15 or higher; check its ingredients to make sure it offers broad-spectrum protection; and decide whether it works better for everyday incidental use or extended outdoor use.

Finally, look for The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation, which guarantees that a sunscreen product meets the highest standards for safety and effectiveness. Once you choose the right sunscreen, use it the right way. But remember, you should not rely on sunscreen alone to protect your skin against UV rays; it is just one vital part of a complete sun protection program. By following our Prevention Guidelines, you can lower your risk of developing skin cancer, while helping your skin look younger, longer.

Follow this daily plan with him. If you do it together it won't be obvious. Just use woman konikoni!

1. Get a firm tooth brush, smoker's tooth brush will ruin your gums.
2. Use the red close up toothpaste on both your teeth & tongue.
3. Use salty water to rinse during the process.
4. If you have access to bicarbonate of soda add to the toothpaste (optional)
5. Floss at least twice a day, ideally after eating meals such as meat, mango....etc

Do not waste your money of mouthwash, the effect is minimal.

Nairaland GeneralSeverely Beaten L.A. Man Awarded $58M by KMB(op): 1:01am On Jul 13, 2013
A California jury has awarded nearly $58 million to a 43-year-old house painter left brain damaged and deformed after a security guard crushed his skull during a beating outside a Los Angeles-area bar.

"His skull is like a pie with 25% cut out of it," attorney Federico Sayre said at a news conference Monday.

Doctors had to removed part of Antonio Lopez Chaj's brain and skull after the April 2010 beating at La Barra Latina in Torrance. He can no longer speak, needs help walking and requires 24-hour care.

Sayre said an unlicensed, untrained security guard with DGSP Security and Patrol Service beat Chaj with a baton or metal bar, kicked him in the head eight times and bashed his skull on the pavement four times. Chaj was attacked after he tried to intervene in a fight between one of his two nephews and the bar manager.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/02/los-angelyes-man-beaten-awarded-58-million/2484893/?morestories=obnetwork

The guard was never charged; police said they lacked independent witnesses. He and the bartender who started the fight disappeared before the civil trial.

The damage award against the security firm — $35 million for past pain and suffering, $11.5 million for future medical expenses and $11 million for future pain and suffering — is one of the largest ever given to an individual in California.

Chaj's lawyers, including the oldest son of the late farm workers' leader Cesar Chavez, expect the security firm to ask the judge to reduce the judgment.

"I have explained to him that he now is going to be taken care of the rest of his long life," Sayre said he told Chaj, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Foreign AffairsWorld's Largest Building Opens In China by KMB(op): 8:18pm On Jul 11, 2013

The largest man-made structure in the world has opened in China's Sichuan province, housing hotels, offices, a beach resort and an artificial sun.

Capable of housing 20 Sydney Opera Houses or three Pentagons in its staggering 1.7 million square-metre interior the New Century Global Centre in Chengdu opened its doors on 1 July 2013.

The colossal 18-storey glass and steel superstructure has a wavy roof and is built above a new metro station. The building is 500 metres long, 400 metres wide and stands 100 metres high.

A 65 metre-high lobby covering 10,000 square metres greets visitors as they enter the centre. Visitors will then find the Paradise Island Oceanic Park, with a 400 metre sandy beach and the world's largest indoor LED screen that projects images of seascapes and horizons.

There is also one of China's largest shopping malls, a 14-screen Imax cinema, an Olympic-sized ice rink, two five-star hotels and a central business tower with 720,000 square metres of office space.

PoliticsObasanjo Dares Jonathan On Probe Of Corruption . by KMB(op): 12:47pm On May 01, 2013
It has been an intermittent disagreement that is sometimes considered to have been magnified by the public. But the face-off now festers, and erstwhile President Olusegun Obasanjo did not mind letting the public know this.

Sunday, Obasanjo told his estranged protégé President Goodluck Jonathan that he was not serious about fighting corruption.

He told Jonathan that he should demonstrate his fight against corruption by directing it on him (Obasanjo) rather than one of his former ministers, Oby Ezekwesili.

Obasanjo, who spoke in Abuja at the 50th birthday thanksgiving of Ezekwesili, said that the Jonathan government would not find anything against the former Minister of Education and World Bank chief.

He noted that as head of government for eight years, he should be held liable if any of his ministers was found wanting.

Obasanjo, who also spoke on the planned pipeline protection contract, described it as an avenue for corruption.

The former President said in defence of Ezekwesili: "Those who wanted to probe you, you should have asked them to, because if they are honest probers, they will find out that the government of Nigeria should give you money for what you have done for this country without stealing money.

"I have always said this. Whatever you want to blame in my government, blame me, don't blame any of those people who assisted me. If there is any credit to dispense, we share it. But for anything you want to say is wrong, I was the one in charge."

PoliticsPolice Officer Paid £8000 Compensation For A Flea Bite by KMB(op): 11:35pm On Apr 30, 2013
A police officer was paid £8,000 compensation for a FLEA bite, it was revealed today.

Shocking figures show the flea bite was among £900,000 worth of payouts made by one cash-strapped police force to settle claims over the last three years.West Midlands Police was sued by 51 serving officers and 16 civilian staff for a range of bizarre workplace injuries.

Another worker received £1,000 for insect bites while a third picked up £14,000 after a fall from a pushbike.

A Data protection breach cost the force £50,000 while one employee was given £600 after being exposed to a loud noise and another was paid £7,000 for injuries sustained falling off a chair.

The policeman who lodged the flea bite claim had been working in an infested police station when he was bitten by the bug.Former West Midlands police officer Ray Egan, who retired from the force in 1993, said: “I was a policeman for almost 30 years and you never heard of anything like that in my day - there was never talk about it.“If I’d gone to my bosses and said ‘I’ve been bitten by a flea’ or moaned about falling off a pavement they would have told me to brush myself off and get on with it.“You’d get a boot up your bum and told to get back out on the streets. “To claim for a flea bite is just too embarrassing for words. “All that money would have paid for a few bobbies on the beat, there never seems to be any cash to pay for frontline services but when someone wants compensation they seem to find it.”Birmingham City Council’s community safety chairman Cllr Wazeem Zaffar said: “At a time of such austerity we have to ensure the taxpayer is getting value for money.“I think on the back of these figures the force has to look very carefully at the health safety measures that have been adopted.

“Unfortunately, we are living in a compensation culture and it is likely that the compensation culture has crept into the police force too.”Ian Edwards, Chairman of the West Midlands branch of the Police Federation, said: “Policing is a risky job where injuries can affect your ability earn a living.“We negotiate deals for insurance policy schemes, but it is up to the individuals and the firms involved to lodge any kind of claims.“We play no part in the claims, but I suspect that the majority of them are reasonable and wholly appropriate.”  Norfolk WPC Kelly Jones,33, sparked outrage earlier this month when it was revealed she was suing a garage owner after she tripped over a kerb on a 999 call to his business.

Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale, from West Midlands Police, said: “Police officers have to enter into situations and locations on a daily basis which can often put them in danger of harm.“This is a fundamental nature of the job and it is a reality that is accepted by the vast majority of West Midlands Police officers and staff, in order to keep the public they serve safe.“Like any other employer West Midlands Police take health and safety responsibilities very seriously.“Where we fall short, our officers and staff are entitled to lodge claims where they feel appropriate.“We have robust liability insurance in place, which operates in respect of compensation claims made as a result of injury

Details of injuries and compensation payments are often more complex than statistics or brief detail suggest.“For example, although an injury might initially be interpreted as minor it may transpire to cause more severe pain and suffering and even long-term or permanent damage.“Police systems record a brief initial assessment of injury but a full claim file will contain detailed medical reports documenting the period of recovery and future prognosis for the injury sustained.“Compensation payouts are only made following the assessment of appropriate medical evidence by the in-house legal team, insurers and solicitors who then make a recommendation to the force as to what payment should be made, based on expert knowledge and published case law
