I live in Indiana and I would like to attend the Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee, Wi. The tuition is about $13, 500. I was just wondering if that is for anyone or just for residents of the state of Wisconsin. Almost all other colleges have an increase in tuition for out-of-state students. I was just wondering if it was the case with beauty school as well. Thanks =)

I sell health and wellness beauty type products. I have always wanted to give back and help others, but like most people I have to work and don’t have much extra time.

Well I figured out a way I may be able to help others at the same time I work my business. I make a 35% retail profit on my sales and then I also get paid a percentage commission on my total team sales. I would like to offer individuals and groups my 35% profit to be donated to their charity of choice.

Here is how it would work. I sell over 300 products so something for everyone. Example: Rather than buying their normal shampoo and conditioner from the salon, they purchase from me and with each purchase they make, I donate my retail profit to their charity of choice. For those products, it would be about $10.00 each time, but over a year the charity has received about $120.00 just by them switching who they shop with. I can afford to do this, because I am still paid a commission on my sales and team sales. So I feel good also because I am able to provide this additional avenue of income to the charity?

What do you think? Will people like this idea?

Thank you for your feedback! Nice get real people’s thoughts before I make appointments to actually visit with different groups.

Well it has happened again this year, just when we thought we were in the clear and had made it through the cold and flu season unscathed, we get hit with a nasty one. There are a lot of us that got caught this year according to Doctors. The truly amazing thing is that Doctor’s have said that this bug is not only nasty but an intelligent little bug. This bug waited until our flu shots were least effective, come the end of winter, the beginning of spring, you know like right now! Thankfully it wasn’t as bad as it could have been but it was nasty enough for me just the same. During my days of being down and out I had the time to think and was reminded of a few astonishing insights and I decided to share them with you.

Most, if not all, adults know the reason for colds and flu’s in God’s great big plan. Most of us just forget why from time to time and are in need of reminding. When we are down and out, feeling as terrible and despicable as possible we have the time to ponder things. Thankfully, we do ponder and don’t only do the dopey things like reminding our spouses of which hymns we want at our funeral. While pondering a moment of bright shining truth comes piercing into our sick rooms and helps us to remember why these things happen. In God’s merciful and all knowing ways, He makes us stronger and healthier through the reverse or complete opposite of what we humans would do if we could or if we were in command of things. This mercifulness that God uses is called, progressive exposure, a little exposure at a time so our immune systems can figure a way to combat the new neighbor.

In recent years, Doctors have discovered a way of telling which patients are ‘germ-a-phoebes’ like me. We ‘germ-a-phoebes’ are the ones always picking up every little germ and bug that comes to town. See the problem is that we ‘germ-a-phoebes’ wash our hands and environments with antibacterial soaps as well as other sanitizers a million times a day. In our human minds it makes sense to attempt to avoid germs and viruses by doing whatever to avoid any exposure. However, in God’s plan it is just the opposite. Through small and regular exposures we build up immunities to most bugs and viruses until we aren’t bothered by them and are ready for new bigger ones. Does this mean we should all become slobs and never wash our hands, I don’t think so and I hope not because I still have a ton of antibacterial soap left in the cabinet! However, we need to understand that over doing things with the sanitizers and antibacterial soaps actually end up hurting us more than helping. We need small amounts of exposure or progressive exposure over time to viruses and various bugs to remain over all healthy and strong.

Because God is all knowing and all seeing and exists out of our time and space it is easy for Him to see how a planned progressive exposure over a period of time, rather than complete avoidance will better prepare us for the really big bugs that come along. I can only imagine that it is a bit easier to start at the end or to see the end and then to look back in retrospect in order to truly understand all this. We however, the sick down and out ones, can’t always see it as a benefit and can’t imagine a worst bug or a worst way of feeling than the present.

This reminds me of when parents of olden days used to purposely exposure their children to other children with chickenpoxes because it was known and believed to be better to have chickenpox’s as a child rather then shingles as an adult. Now freeze frame for a moment and ask the child suffering with chickenpoxes if this makes any sense to them and they would unsurprisingly say, no way! Then tell them that their loving parent arranged for them to receive this sickness, purposely and deliberately, because they love them, again the child wouldn’t understand or even agree to the ‘loving bit’ because of such actions. It only make sense in the over all ‘big picture’ of things and not in the ‘heat of the moment’!

So as I was pondering and remembering these points I wanted to share with you, I started to wonder what else or what other things makes sense and are for our good in the big picture of things? What things while in the heat of the moment don’t make sense or convey God’s love for us? Then it hit me, problem and troubles of everyday life fall into the very same category. Everyone’s problems are the worst to them and nobody else’s could even come close to theirs! When we were teenagers, we had teenagers’ problems and they were as big and nasty as they could possibly be. We some how and in some way worked through them and moved on to more adult problems to solve when they came around. If we as adults would remember back to our teenage years and the problems of then, most of us would sarcastically say, ‘if only my problems would be that simple today… I’d be happy’! Right? I know I’ve said that before myself. Yes, it may be true in one way; however, it isn’t correct in the big picture of things. We need childhood problems to be able to handle teenage problems. We needed teenaged problems to be equipped to handle adult problems and so on and so on until old age ending with our earthly death. I even know a few grandparents who would say the ‘if that was all I had to deal with…’statement in comparison to typical parenting troubles and/or problems. Again, its progressive exposure and not avoidance or dealing with all of it at one time that leads to solutions for our betterment in the ‘big picture’ of things.

I think we Christians could also use our understanding of progressive exposure to explain the age old question and statement; “prove to me that there is a God and secondly, prove His love for me”! With an understanding of progressive exposure we can give another ‘real’ insightfulness to the question. It could go something like this. “It only makes sense to someone not in the heat of the moment to prescribe a viable plan of attack of progressive exposure to make one stronger by affording our bodies the opportunity to develop immunities. Only someone not affected by the problems of the moment can understand and see a path through troubles and problems as a way to make one strong enough and understanding enough for what is to come. Only God could have designed things to work in this way. He isn’t bound by time and space and therefore can see the end and look back to the beginning in retrospect to see the proper course of action. If it were left up to us humans, we while in the heat of the moment, would rather run and hide rather than except a small amount of suffering in order to prevent serious or long lasting and more severe suffering. Without God and His mercy we humans would run around avoiding everything until we were struck by some infantile virus or by an elementary problem of right and wrong and either and/or both would end up killing us! Only God designs things to work in the opposite of what we humans would do.

Lastly, while we are fighting the fight of the moment, whether problems or bugs, we need to thank God for His boundless mercy and love of not throwing it all at us at one time. We humans if we are completely honest would have to admit, it’s a truly viable plan of attack that only makes sense in the big picture of things. Thank God for His mercy and ability to work His miracles of the ‘big picture’ into each and every one of our ‘heat of the moments’ for our own good. What better way is there to explain ‘love’ than to show a fore-thought of progressive exposure for ones betterment?

After the cataract surgery you can return home stay quietly for two to three days. Do not lift any heavy objects. Do not bend down. You can watch TV and resume your normal diet.

 It is better to wear dark glasses for a week to protect your eyes, even when you sleep. You should never rub your eyes. You should completely prevent your eyes from coming into contact with water and soap. You should never go for a swim or take showers, till the incision heals.

 You can return to your office for desk work. You should take extensive precaution to see that your eyes do not come into contact with any dust or dirt. Completely avoid any dusty atmosphere. Avoid driving for at least one week after the surgery.

 Post operative care involves the application of medications like the eye drops and ointment prescribed by the doctor, regularly. Wash your hands clean before you apply any medication.  You should always use sterilized strips to wipe the drops of medicine that comes out of your eye. Alternately get surgical cotton and cut it into small square pieces. Put in the pressure cooker for ten minutes after the pressure develops. Then this cotton would be sterilized. Store it carefully and use it.

 You may experience watery eyes for a few days after surgery. After the cataract surgery our eyes could turn red. You will be asked to meet your doctor the day after your surgery. You will be told to contact the doctor immediately if

         You experience severe pain of the eyes.

·        Your vision becomes suddenly blurred

·        If you see sudden flashes of light.

·        If you see things floating across

 Generally top eye hospitals have round the facility to take care of post operation problems

 

Brent McNutt asked:


Knowledge can replace concern. The more we know about how things work, the less worried we are about how they can affect us. Oftentimes, we discover that things are much less harmful than we thought they were. Illnesses provide such a case. The more we know about how to diagnose, treat, and prevent a certain illness, the more peace-of-mind we have about it. For instance, ere are some vital questions and answers about the bacteria MRSA:

1. What is MRSA?

MRSA has a long name: methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. However, the public more commonly refers to it as staph bacteria, MRSA, or the superbug. At any given time, various staph bacteria exist on the skin and in the noses of about a quarter of the world’s population. MRSA is quite harmless when we are healthy. However, it can become a threat to our well being, when we are exhausted, injured, or have recently undergone an operation. When MRSA enters our bodies, we must receive medicine to kill the bacteria.

2. How do doctors diagnose MRSA?

The process is quite basic. Doctors remove a sample of bacteria from a patient, and then grow it in a laboratory culture. The sample can originate from a variety of sources, including the nose, blood, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Cerebrospinal fluid is contained in a person’s backbone and brain, and provides shock absorption. It is important that doctors adhere to this process, to verify that the bacteria are indeed MRSA.

3. How do doctors treat MRSA?

Various factors determine the particular treatment that physicians use, to treat any type of staph infection. Factors include:

• The location of the infection

• How serious the illness has become

• How sensitive the infection is to antibiotics

Large groups of bacteria on the skin or in the nose, and swelling, are usually not indicators that antibiotics are necessary. In the case that antibiotics are indeed necessary, the number of antibiotics that are effective in treating MRSA, are quite limited. MRSA is resistant to several types of antibiotics, including penicillin and all drugs that resemble penicillin.

4. How can medical personnel help to prevent MRSA infections?

In a word, keep people and areas hygienic. It is important for all personnel and patients to wash their hands using soap and water, until they have completed singing the “ABC Song.” Staff at clinics and hospitals can also wear hygienic clothing, such as scrubs. Studies have revealed that wearing scrubs, such as cheap landau scrubs, can significantly reduce the transmission of MRSA. The public can also take certain measures, such as:

• engaging in proper hand-washing

• not sharing towels and athletic equipment during their workouts.

• keeping wounds clean and bandaged

• avoiding contact with the wounds of other people

MRSA can be devastating to patients, and challenging for medical staff. However, we can successfully use certain proven methods to diagnose, treat, and prevent it. Following the aforementioned guidelines, such as requiring medical personnel to wear hygienic scrubs, can help to keep the “superbug” MRSA, super-contained.
