After how long to discard makeup products? Loose powder Because loose powder is not water based it may last for several years.

Such as foods and medicines, beauty products and makeup also have limitations. 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 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.
Base and Correctors 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
Powder shadows Several years
Shadows in cream or liquid 12 to 18 months.
Lipsticks 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.
Lip Crayon Two to three years
Lip gloss 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 appropriate measures are not followed when handling the products, they can and will be contaminated.If this happens and continue to be used is highly likely that a severe eye and skin infections will occur.Â
• Wash your hands before applying makeup, your hands could already 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 expiration date label, be aware of the time you purchased the product so you can control its shelf life in your make up table. • Wash your brushes with soap and water at least every 15 days. • Do not apply cosmetics if you have the eyes or skin infections, and immediately dispose of used cosmetic use. • Before going to sleep remove all makeup and keep your skin clean and can "breathe."

So Are Dental X-Rays Really Necessary? well as many opinions on the subject. So let's take another look at this issue.
By Dr Marta Gainza
We are continuously exposed to radiation, and being prudent about limiting exposure is reasonable. However, a better understanding of radiation exposure and
Dental x-rays are indicated by your dentist when there is a diagnostic reason for taking them. It's a common question that arises frequently. A dental exam is comprised of a clinical visual evaluation, and if deemed necessary by your dentist, the exam will also include dental x-rays. In an evaluation, there are findings 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
how it relates to dental x-rays is warranted. It is also important to understand why your dentist is indicating an x-ray is taken.
Dental x-rays from the era of our grandparents 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 dental 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 radiation exposure. We went from D speed film to F speed film and gained a 50% reduction in the radiation exposure required for a dental xray. Then there was the digital leap! With digital dental x-rays the radiation exposure required is even less. When we take a z, the exposure setting of the x-ray machine has to be reduced 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
Did you know that walking out in the gorgeous 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 individual 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!
So what is your dentist looking for in a dental x-ray? 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 provides 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 diagnosis and assessment of a condition. By declining dental x-rays you are limiting the diagnostic ability of your dentist.
Sometimes, x-rays are used to verify that delicate and precise procedure your dentist is doing. Your dentist may be meticulous 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!
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 serious 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.
{Contrary to the suggestions that a dentist’s motivation 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 (average $100-$200). Allowing decay to remain un-identified can result in a painful abscess requiring a costly root canal (average $2000) as well as requiring a crown restoration (average $1500-$2000). The other possibility is the loss of a tooth. Average cost of an implant can average up to $3500. It is expensive to replace a human 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. Periodontal Disease is a major cause of tooth loss. We use dental x-rays to evaluate
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 presents changes suggestive of a more serious 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 potential 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! iN Dr Marta Gainza 58 SW 10th Street, Miami 305-374-0996

Treating infertility By Ivelisse DeJongh, A.P. ACUPUNCTURE PHYSICIAN
with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
T
raditional 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 unlimited potential for childbearing, healing and health. The diagnosis of infertility can be difficult and often devastating to a couple. Both men and women experience infertility 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 insemination (IUI), to help woman conceive. Many have been successful 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)
and intrauterine insemination (IUI), to help woman conceive. Many have been successful 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 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 fertility 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 implantation 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
17
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) help to: • Regulate your menstrual cycle. • Reduce stress and anxiety. (The hormones that are secreted during stressful situations can significantly decrease 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 holistic techniques are used at the DeJongh Acupuncture Clinic to improve health and enhance both women’s and men’s fertility. iN

upping is the application of glass or plastic goblets (Chinese Teacups) over specific energetic spots of the body. The suction created by the goblets achieves the release of the obstructed energetic spots to restore the flow of energy, eliminates toxins 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 persons around the world since it is safe, comfortable and helps in many health problems. This therapy became famous with the Hollywood stars when Francis Ford

A JOURNALIST DIARY

At Limit’s Edge
W
me how "you have to musicalize your words". She, as a great journalist, was teaching me how a great journalist conveys a message.
I began to learn about this career at a very young age. My mother introduced me to the fascinating world of communications as soon as I started to read. I recall using these huge recording machines that then seemed amazing and her telling
What I discovered throughout my experience is that in additional to musicalizing 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 leaders, overthrow president, destroy the most sacred, and redeem the sinners. It’s no wonder why journalists can be considered the "fourth power." That's where the big problem arises. Since the great leaders, chiefs, heads of state, com-
hat are the modern journalism limits and rights? What duties and responsibilities apply when manipulating the truth or disclosing hidden truths? Is sensationalist journalism ethical? How do we repair a wrong done with words? All these questions have answers very subjective depending on each individual and each professional.
I still have flashbacks from the adventure reminding 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 suffering of my people.” Each story was heartbreaking 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 nothing previously planned, I armed myself with my curiosity and started to inquiry on the local residents’ lives.
27
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 career we won’t earn more than ten dollars per month. There is no incentive for us.” As the conversation progressed he became 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 images and testimony from this documentary 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 precarious 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 imprisonment by letting him express his frustrations 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 question sources, verify information, before disclosure. My mission as a journalist, in addition to tell stories is also to raise social awareness 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 journalist 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. iN

Leave it to Mother Nature
a little more time in the womb may matter

xpectant moms may feel the urge to plan the date of delivery. Choosing C-Section over natural delivery, even when there is no medical reason 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.
Researchers just found out that for babies 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 weighing 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 earlyterm 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 typically, 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. iN

His hobby turned passion 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 University of Miami, where he furthered his musical skills and exposure.

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 getting ready to do some promotional work on I Heart Radio Festival and
Television, as well as promoting on Shakira's current single with Pitbull. Mitchell can be found teaming up with fellow producer/songwriters 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 provided by Miami's unique culture. iN

For her new record the musician from Tulsa collaborates with the ex Talking Heads, David Byrne with an intricate chemistry between the avant-garde artists.

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 unbalance 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.

Pay Per Impression The Less Intrusive Marketing Strategy
P
ay per impression is just one of the newly coined terms that have been borne out of the internet generation. Known for its swift communication, data capture and storage and phenomenal effect on business and commerce, it goes without saying that payment transactions 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. Â Pay per lead, as the name suggests is based on a commission paid to a third party who passes on potential new clients. 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 processes 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 payment on the internet.
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 attain 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 subjects related to affiliates whereby 'middle men' work on behalf of partners to generate business. In summary, the internet is a 24/7 market exchange with billions of dollars changing hands, effectively and efficaciously. Such transactions and executions would not have been possible only a few years ago and only serves to underline the importance and reliance the modern commerce places on the internet 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 become 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 divided 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 impression PPV - Pay per Visitorz iN Rafael Montilla has built his expertise as a knowledgeable and experienced on SEO (SearchEngine Optimization) strategist, consultant and In-House SEO for more than 10 years.
