The 20th century was a turning point in the history of the world. Two major world wars devastated the economy of nearly every country in the world. Famine, genocide, holocaust, and natural disaster swept through the world like never before seen in history. But at the same time, advancements were made that improved our world to a degree never known before. Modern medicine became better than ever. Technology advanced at mind-boggling rates. Methods of communication have reached dynamic proportions never thought possible. The world of fashion also went through major changes in the 20th century.

There are many fashions that have come and gone throughout the years, some that were the epitome of haute couture and others that were simply icons of the Everyman, clothing that was worn for comfort and function rather than style and fashion. It is the latter style that seems to have made its mark on more of the public. These articles of clothing are here to stay. Jeans are one such item. Though denim material had been around for many years, the article of clothing we know as jeans weren’t invented until the mid-19th century thanks to a man named Levi Strauss. Originally from Germany, Strauss moved to San Francisco in 1853. With the help of a tailor named Jacob Davis, Strauss invented jeans that were held together by metal rivets.

The purpose of the rivets was to strengthen the pockets of the pants in order to withstand harsh work conditions. The two men filed for a patent for their design and held it until about 1890 when the patent expired, during which they were the only company allowed to make riveted denim. After that date, any company had authority to create their own jeans. Jeans remained a clothing item primarily for workers until the 1950s when kids began wearing them as a way to define their identity. From that point on jeans became an iconic symbol of American fashion in every decade.

Another iconic symbol of the fashion of the American Everyman is the leather jacket. The jacket first came into popular American fashion in the early 20th century. Thanks to bomber pilots in World War II as well as famous aviators like Amelia Earheart, these bomber style jackets became fashionable for both men and women.

Leather motorcycle jackets came into fashion thanks to the greaser culture of the 50s and 60s as well as famous celebrities like Marlon Brando, who wore the jacket in many films. Motorcycle jackets are still in fashion even today, and like jeans, are a clothing icon of the working-class American.

You are such a good golf player and you are destined to win your local hole in one to grab that fantastic prize on offer from golf competitions! So you go to the golf course everyday to practise your driving, putting and swinging skills everyday.

That the unexpected happened! When you were executing your most elegant and powerful swing ever, you heard a loud pop followed by an excruciating pain in your lower back which forced you to abandon the game you were enjoying so much.

Welcome to the not so wonderful world of golfing injuries. If you are playing golf regularly, you will suffer from some form of golf related injuries from time to time. You may not even know that you are suffering or about to suffer from some serious injuries because most of the injuries are not immediately felt and it is through time as the benign injuries get more and more serious through muscle imbalances, lack of golf fitness, bad postures and wrong swings of the golf clubs amongst other reasons.

Although compared with many other sports, the game of golf appears to be relatively benign in its potential to cause serious sports injuries. However, this is only a perception because golf injuries and even serious permanent ones are very real.

You see, the game of golf stresses your body in unique ways that can cause both acute and chronic injuries. Therefore carefully ensuring basic good biomechanics specific to the game of golf as well as aquiring good techniques and skills can minimize golf-related injuries of the back, shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists or even muscle tears! In other words, you must have golf fitness to play better golf, avoid injuries and add many more yards to your drive.

Injuries of the wrists, elbows, shoulders, torsos and trunk are the most common golf-related injuries and it is commonsense logic that the leading side of the body is more injury proned than the trailing side in most golfers.

Numerous research have proven that lower back pain is the most commonly injured part of the body in an amateur male golfer. Female amateur golf players are more often experienced injuries of the elbow joints.

It is interesting to note that professional golf players most often injured their wrists, followed by the lower back, shoulders, and elbows, which are markedly different from those commonly suffered by the amateurs.

It is thought that swinging techniques are the most likely culprit for the differences in frequency of injured parts of the body between an amateur and a professional player. Another surprising finding is that the injury rate in golfers over 50 years old is only slightly higher than that in younger golf players. That means that you are susceptible to golf injuires at any age.

So, would hiring a golf coach reduce the risks of golf related injuries? Well, this move could certainly reduce the risks of injuries somewhat, but will not completely eliminate them. Although having good techniques could help to minimize injuries, injuries in amateurs golfers are most often due to overuse and repetitive motions. This is even more pronounced in professional golf palyers who play the game more often.

Here are some tips to reduce your golf related injuries.

Play Less Often – Since we know that most of the injuries are caused by repetitive motions and overuse of your joints and muscles, then play golf less often and let your body rest in between games.

Low Back Pain – You can avoid lower back pain by rotating the shoulder and hip a similar amount during the back swing and keeping the back vertical during the follow-through. This will greatly reduce the amount of rotation and strain to your lower back.

Furthermore, a follow-through with the spine perpendicular to the ground is so much more gentler on the spine than the “reverse C” finish, in which extreme hyperextension puts an incredible load on the joints of your spine.

Shoulder Injuries – In order to reduce the stress on the acromioclavicular or the ac joint (the joint between the collar bone and the shoulder blade) of the leading shoulder is to shorten the swing by ending the backswing with the club head at a 1 or 2 o’clock position.

Conditioning the rotator cuff and scapular muscles with weight resistance training will also be of great help to reduce chances of shoulder injuries. Remember, your shoulder joint is the most unstable joint in the human body.

Elbow Injuries – Research have shown that therapies such as medial counterforce for golfer’s elbow may help to relieve symptoms of elbow pain. However, this do not correct the problems and so is just a pain relief.

Improving swing mechanics, wrist techniques and seeking effective treatments to reduce the repetitive strain injury and re-balance your muscles are the keys to avoid or cure elbow injuries caused by playing golf.

Wrist Strains And Sprains – Proper swing and grip technique is essential to avoid wrist injuries. The strengthening of the your forearm muscles with weight training will help minimize undue wrist motion during your swings and lessen the overuse effect.

So in order to cut down the risks of suffering injuries that can ruin your favorite game or sometimes even end your golf playing days, you have to identify your risks of injuries from overuse of your joints and muscles. Is it due to your poor technique, muscle imbalances, poor postures or even all of the above? Then work on your golf fitness to eliminate the problem areas and you will soon be on your way to being a good golfer and be relatively free of any golf game induced injuries which are preventable.

When it comes to technology for our businesses, we all want the best, right? Sometimes that means parting with thousands of dollars for the latest and greatest pieces of technology in the hope that whatever innovation it provides will make us back our initial investment and help our businesses grow by leaps and bounds.

In accord with basic human nature, we want all the bells and whistles when it comes to software. With the steady advances technology, there are so many great features that can really help your salon or spa out. I do hear from many owners about what they love about their software and what they dont like so much.

I advocate all salons have some sort of financial software like Quick Books(R) or something to have accurate numbers recording for accounting and a basic client management system. What may not be necessary are all the extra features depending on your situation. Here is some food for thought if you are in the market for a new software system.

Cost, The cost of software should be relative to what you will be using it for. If you invest thousands into a software system, make sure you are using it effectively, not as a glorified cash register. There are many credit card processing systems out there that offer basic reporting about service and retail purchases.

If you are smaller salon or just starting up, the investment for software can be a huge chunk of your budget so make sure you use it wisely.

Time Investment, How much time do you have to learn and understand the basic reporting menus, analyzing data, administrative uses and mastering the updates?

If you are a salon owner with limited support staff and spends the majority of your time behind a chair, it is difficult to find time to fully utilize what is available to you. Mark off plenty of time for hands on exploration of the systems you are interested in before you purchase them.

Customer Service, This can get costly, especially when you first implement your system. Many companies offer unlimited customer service and service manuals, for quick reference items, others charge for every phone call placed.

It can get costly if you do not have someone on staff properly trained and experienced in troubleshooting potential issues if you have software that charges a fee for every question. You will have more questions than you think!

Reporting, Being able to pull reports is essential and it should be simple and easy. If it is difficult or doesnt make sense how the info is pulled find one that does make sense and make sure you have been entering your information correctly.

If any of the above items are causes for concern for you, hold off and find out more before you invest your time and money. Schedule yourself time to explore your possibilities before and exhaust all of the questions you have about basic and enhanced functioning before you sign on the dotted line.

While you are searching or if your current salon system has gaps, consider a service which has features to help you with basic numbers analysis, booking, eMarketing, business education, and customer support. The habits and knowledge you learn will only help you enhance your existing or future software and are well worth helping you be proactive and profitable.

A cake is an important part of lots of celebrations. More so with birthdays. A birthday would not be complete without the birthday cake. We do have the traditional cakes like chocolate and chiffon and etc., but how about a fudge cake?

Impossible? Of course not! We could also make a chocolate fudge cake and you can even make it as a present for your friend’s birthday or for 1 of your family member’s birthday. Below is a recipe for a yummy choco fudge cake that will surely leave you and your guests wanting for more. Enjoy!

Cake:

1.5 c sugar
1 1/4 c all-purpose flour
3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder
2.5 tsps baking powder
1.5 tsps baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk
3 large eggs
2.5 tsps pure vanilla extract
6 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
1 c hot coffee

Frosting:

1 1/4 lbs bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 c heavy cream
2 tbsps light corn syrup
5 tbsps unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp water

MAKE THE CAKE: Preheat the oven up to 325degrees. Line the bottoms of three 8-inch round cake pans with rounds of parchment paper. Spray the pans and the parchment paper with vegetable cooking spray. Into a large bowl, whisk the sugar with flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Inside a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk with eggs & vanilla. In another small bowl, melt butter in the hot coffee.

Using an electric mixer beat half of the buttermilk mixture into your dry ingredients at low speed. Beat in half of the coffee mixture, and then scrape down the bowl. Beat in the remaining buttermilk & coffee mixtures.

Pour the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake them for 25 to 30 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until cakes become springy to your touch. Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to cool completely. Peel off the parchment paper.

MEANWHILE, MAKE THE FILLING AND FROSTING: Put chocolate into a large bowl. Into a small saucepan, bring the cream and corn syrup to a boil. Immediately pour over your chocolate and let stand inside a warm place for 5 minutes.

Gently whisk the ganache until smooth. Whisk in butter until incorporated. Refrigerate, stirring frequently, until the ganache is thick enough to spread, about 30 minutes. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar with the water then heat for 30 seconds. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Set a cake layer on a cake plate or cake cardboard and brush lightly with the sugar syrup.

Spread about 3/4 cup of the frosting onto your cake in an even 1/4-inch layer. Repeat with the remaining cake layers, sugar syrup and frosting. (I skipped this step completely. I didn’t want to spread sugar water on pieces of cake; I just didn’t see the point.)

Spread the remaining frosting around the sides of your cake. Let cake stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour before slicing. And then, because I’m a genius, I decided to cover the top of my cake using fresh raspberries. Obviously you would wash them in cool water, pat dry, and put the open end facing down on the frosting.

Since you are working with ganache, you have to be somewhat fast since it sets into hardened chocolate really fast

Often times, whenever children return from playing, they look quite exhausted and ready for a nap. This is the most accurate description, and also quite the truth, as playing is severe work. it’s exhausting to the mind and torso of the child, and it plays an important role in helping them to become productive and healthy.

The role of play and exercise in the life of a young child will provide them with various benefits. Exercise of the body is a very crucial part of keeping the young body fit as it grows into an adult body. Once we reach adulthood, if we’ve had the benefit of exercise and play, we all tend to continue that habit well into our adult years.

Play is also adept in the form of participating in organized sports, coordinated play times, and being a member of a large group throughout all of these types of activities. Playing on this stage will teach us how to interact with peers and perform as a team with our fellow players. In today’s business world, these skills are essential.

What we learn in body language, coping skills, and the fundamental interaction of the mind and torso throughout our interaction with others is invaluable. when we learn this skills to the fullest, not only will we learn how to get along with others, but we will also learn how to interact more adept with ourselves.

Although interacting with ourselves seems like a rather pointless exercise, it is actually an important part of maintaining the best sense of health and wellness. There will always be times when our bodies are trying to tell us things about our physical or mental condition, which we will simply refuse to listen to.

Through exercise and play, we will also learn what our limitations are – both physical and mental. At times of play, you’ll see children and young adults push themselves to their limit and beyond. As children, we are all more able to distinguish between a real limit versus what society itself calls our limits.

For children and young adults, the pressures of the world don’t affect them near as much as it performs adults. Children have a much more adept state of mind and peace, unlike adults that have let the outside influence the body and mind, which will do little more than becoming a dominant factor of time.

As you can tell, the profits that are gained from exercise and play time as children, will benefit us for the rest of our lives. As adults, we all too often forget how important both exercise and play are.

Normally, we desire to rush children into their daily responsibilities, forgetting that at their age they require play and fundamental interaction for their young minds.

Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and body contouring is a common procedure but is does carry some risks. Post-surgery, the abdomen looks firm and relatively flat and often gives patients a confident feeling. Since body contouring involves major incisions in the skin, scars are bound to remain. Abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and body contouring is different from liposuction in one significant way. High blood pressures patients too are at a slightly higher risk those others.

All it means is that it is usually detached from the earlier flabby tissue and embedded in the tissue and skin that remains. There’s another thing patients must be prepared for and that is the relocation of the naval. It’s called necrosis and abdominoplasty patients simply cannot run this risk.

Some patients need to take analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs regularly for conditions such as migraine. While the former removes both skin and fat, the latter sucks out excess fat alone. Make sure your surgeon is experienced and comes with a good reputation as well as credentials.

Many elect for abdominoplasty and body contouring surgery to get the middle region of their anatomy in shape. These are usually candidates for abdominoplasty and body contouring surgery, which has become a common cosmetic procedure across the world.

Surgeons need to educate patients about these so that they can take an informed decision before electing for the operation. In extreme cases, patients of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and body contouring have thus suffered paralysis or a heart attack. A skilled surgeon will know exactly how to minimize this and conceal some of the scars.

Risk of Tissue Death

Vasoconstriction could lead to the death of tissue as such tissue does not get sufficient oxygen, nutrients and fluids. Most smokers don’t realize it when they light up but smoking constricts the blood vessels. Patients may run the risk of bleeding or hematoma, infections, tissue and fat loss or death, or even a pulmonary embolism. The actual surgery is a lengthy procedure and requires extreme skill. This is a condition where a blood clot occurs and lodges itself in the pulmonary artery to the major artery of the heart.

The abdomen, or stomach as commonly referred to, is perceived as being critical to the figure and most women agonize about “excess baggage” around the midriff. After the skin that remains are red raped, the abdominal region gets a new and much more contoured appearance. People who have had multiple pregnancies, people who are obese, those whose muscles have detached them from the rest, individuals who have suddenly lost an unusual amount of weight, and those who are simply prone to weight gain. After major surgery, those areas that are sensitive need normal and a healthy blood supply for the growth of tissue.

Firm and Flat Look!

The most important condition is that candidates should maintain a constant weight for at least a year before surgery. This is because patients often lose a lot of blood during abdominoplasty and body contouring surgery and clotting is therefore important. This does not mean that it will be positioned in a different place!
The skin and muscles here sag due to various factors. Body sculpting is major surgery and a patient needs to be prepared for it both medically clinically. Blood pressure needs to be monitored and controlled well before abdominoplasty and body contouring surgery because this could lead to undue loss of blood. Most of the skin removed in abdominoplasty lies below the navel.

Painkillers and Blood Loss

Also, painkillers that inhibit clotting must be avoided. Hence smokers are advised to stub out the habit at least four months before surgery. Abdominoplasty and body contouring, which is also called a tummy tuck, is performed on both men and women anxious to get rid of excess skin and fat from the abdominal region. It is important to disclose every detail of your medical history to your doctor so that he can switch drugs if necessary or make any changes that are required.
