A common man is the one that is extremely ordinary and your regular everyday man. It can be anybody in existence and you probably would be running into one or the other at regular intervals, being one yourself.

Everybody is born into the world as a normal and ordinary person. Even most of the celebrated individuals from various fields, be it art/music/politics/sports, were not born great and affluent.

No, it is the hard work, sincere efforts, their feats and accomplishments of these ordinary people that turned them into extraordinary ones. They were not born with a silver, golden or platinum spoon in their mouths but it is only through them that their offspring and descendants are reaping the fruits of their blood and sweat and enjoying royal lifestyles only due to being born in their families.

There are numerous examples from the times of yore to the modern era of technology and development that we have such people of extraordinary talents who have made a name and fame for themselves and set examples for the average common man to follow and also with high expectations for their families.

However, you can see that the children of such dignified individuals are not able to replicate the success and stardom that their parents had in their lifetime. Why so?

Why is it that while we can find stories to tell and retell about success of some we have double the number of examples of offspring not being able to meet the expectations of their older counterparts and the world in general.

The answer to that is very simple. Although there is no denying the fact that they have everything that they could dream of right from the day they are born without any struggle or hard-work, it is generally found that once the time comes for them to prove themselves as worthy (or more), almost 98% of such ‘star kids’struggle to live up to the family name and start floundering after an initial good start. Sadly, they end up falling flat on their faces and vanish into oblivion without leaving any trace.

It could be due to them being under spotlight and the tight scrutiny of media and the world that causes them, let’s say, a ‘problem of nerves’. They are not able to live to expectations due to the shadow cast by their parents and ancestors being so strong that that itself overshadowed them and dwarfed their capabilities and existence.

But, then comes the twist. All said and done, they are today notorious and infamous for being products of nepotism who, while not having any talent or skill in themselves except just the family name, they also stamp out the opportunities of more talented and skilled but far less privileged than them due to coming from humble backgrounds.

The boon and curse that ‘star kids’ are born with proves to be fatal not only to them but in the process of the normal and ordinary kids losing out any time or platform to prove themselves worthy of name and fame by creating it themselves.

So, here we can have a similar example of the blockchain. What is blockchain? Why is it so significant?

Blockchains are blocks entwined together through cryptography. It is called as a transaction list maintained in ledger format and is seen in the ‘traditional mould’ regarding transactions.

Blockchain is a technological breakthrough that is out to prove that it is the crypto-currency that is going to rule the world in the future, with bitcoins leading the pack of digital currencies.

Blockchain marks and maintains the financial transactions made through digital currencies like bitcoins, litecoins and ripples and which is done through the trade platform called bitcoin circuit.

I’ve never really got into the hair removal product craze. I still can’t believe that body hair can permanently be removed with lasers. Of course I’m Asian-American and generally Asians tend to not be a hairy bunch. I’ve tried a few products but I’ve mostly stuck to razors because it’s easy and quick. The other hair products I’ve tried were wax and lotions. Nair was actually the first hair removal product that I had ever tried, and it was their lotion. This was in the days before Nair came out with all these other products. Just as there are many plastic surgery alternatives available to people, there are many options to go with, for hair removal.

While I was working at Walgreens as a beauty advisor I noticed the niftiest product, it was Nair’s hair removal spray. Although their lotion worked I wasn’t thrilled about having to apply it by hand and I really didn’t like the smell. Nair’s hair removal spray came in different scents so I figured it was worth a try. I got Nair’s hair removal spray in their Soft Kiwi scent for around $6. This product is suppose to work just like their other hair removal products. It’s not a complicated task, all this product has to do is remove body hair. I figured if Nair’s original hair removal lotion worked so well for me then this should work just as well. I was wrong.

Lets start out with the positives about Nair’s hair removal spray first. Nair’s hair removal spray in my opinion is affordable for around $6 a bottle. If I compare the prices against other brands $6 isn’t that bad. I like that it comes in different scents and the smell is nice too. I’ve only ever tried their Soft Kiwi and as far as I can tell the scent is accurate. I also like that it’s easy to use, just spray, wait and wipe, nothing complicated about it. It sprays out foam just like shaving cream, minus the shaving.

Now to why I don’t like Nair’s hair removal. The Soft Kiwi that I got smelled nice but when sprayed and left to set it starts to smell strange, like chemicals. Although it did remove some of my hair, what little there was, it didn’t remove all of it and I ended up shaving to finish up the job, which completely defeated the purpose of Nair’s hair removal spray. The waiting time for the foam to work is a bit long too. The instructions said to leave the foam on for four minutes and then wipe it off. I left it on for five minutes just to be sure and I still had hair left. The back of the can says that depending on how thick your hair is it might take longer so leave it in longer but no more than ten minutes. Even though I know for sure my hair isn’t thick I left it longer on my other leg and had the same results, there was still hair left.

There were a few other things about Nair’s hair removal spray that I didn’t like and that was the slight burning sensation and the constant shaking to get foam out. The burning wasn’t unbearable but it was enough for me notice it. Nair’s hair removal spray is suppose to be easy to use and for the most part it was except that it would stop spraying half way and I’d have to shake it a few more times to keep going.

My verdict for Nair’s hair removal spray is that it’s not worth spending the money on. I would either stick with their original hair removal cream or try another brand.

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new treatment for wrinkles called laViv during the summer that involves a treatment plan with cell therapy using a person’s own cells for the injections. The treatment won approval from the FDA in June 2011 after two successful trial treatments using 421 subjects. Although NJ offers Botox that can relieve some of your symptoms, it is time to move over the conventional options and look for something else.

The new treatment, laViv, has fewer side effects than Botox and no side effects that would cause permanent damage. The series of injections provide up to six months of smoother skin, giving a more youthful appearance. Some trial participants reported results lasting much longer.

What is laViv?
laViv is a skin cell treatment that injects a person’s own skin cells into the area around the mouth where lines commonly form during the natural process of aging. The skin cells used in the injections are retrieved from behind the ear. These skin cells are called fibroblasts and have the ability to make collagen naturally. The fibroblasts are sent to laViv’s laboratory to “grow.” This process allows for the fibroblasts to multiply the cell cultures to be used in the injections. The growing process takes from 11 to 22 weeks.

After the growing process at the laboratory, the fibroblasts are sent back to your doctor for injections. The injections are made in the nasolabial folds, which are commonly called the “frown or smile lines” around the mouth area. laViv’s treatment plan calls for three injections, one injection every five weeks.

Side Effects
Side effects are minimal and include redness, swelling, bruising, bleeding and pain at the injection site. Compared to the popular alternative, Botox, the new laViv treatment sounds like a good deal and one that more people would be open to using.

Botox has been known to cause permanent damage to some people’s skin because it freezes the muscles in and around the injection site. This results in some people having a very odd look, over shiny foreheads, or just a plain look from the lack of ability to show emotions when smiling.

The Trial Results
The trials for laViv consisted of 421 people in two separate studies. The subjects in the trial were injected with laViv three times or a placebo for which the subjects of the study and the doctor administering the trial did not know which subjects got the laViv and which subjects received the placebo. The results were studied six months after the third injection was received.

In the first study, 57 percent of the participants in the group receiving the laViv treatment thought that the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around their mouth improved. In the control group receiving the placebo, 33 percent of participants said they had an improvement in their skin.

The doctor’s evaluations were more critical giving only 33 percent of patients receiving laViv the nod and only 18 percent in the group that did not receive laViv, but a placebo.

The second study showed 45 percent receiving the treatment and 18 percent in the placebo group showing improvement in skin quality around the mouth.

While this isn’t a 100% fix, it is an improvement and celebrities along with the wealthy, will be open to this treatment since it doesn’t cause the problems associated with Botox.

How Much Does laViv Cost?
The company that developed laViv, Fibrocell Science of Exton, Pa has not announced a set price for the treatment, however, a spokesman for the company said the price is expected to be between $1,000 to $2,000 to create the cell bank. Treatment sessions are estimated to be $300 to $500 per treatment.

With FDA’s approval, people that just have to have a more youthful appearance will be choosing laViv over Botox because of fewer side effects and none that will cause permanent damage to muscles.

A close friend of mine became a quadriplegic after high school. This didn’t keep his personality or spirit down, he drove an adapted van, kept a full time job and maintained a more active social life than my own. My children were used to seeing him at the house several time a week. They knew how to maneuver the wheelchair, when to step in and help and when to just wait. As he shared meals with my young children, there was no judgment. Everyone did the best they could.

This indirect training gave them a hand up when it comes to seeing disabled and children with special needs as their peers and not someone to stare at or tease. We’ve easily embraced friends with a variety of special needs, but not without a few hiccups over the years. Encourage friendships without making an issue out of the disability. The focal point should be entirely on the child and their friendship, not whether or not a child can run.

Birthday Parties-Inviting a Child with Special Needs

Inviting a child with special needs to your child’s birthday requires a little planning. But don’t worry, the parent of that special needs child will most likely be happy their child was included. More often than not, these children are overlooked when handing out invitations.

Consult with the parents. Find out what special accommodations they might need. Aside from that, find out if there is something they don’t handle well. For example, my friend’s body no longer regulated temperature and he would quickly become too cold, or too hot. Having an extra blanket available was important in my cold house.

Plan the menu with the child’s special needs in mind. For example, I wouldn’t serve crab legs to my quadriplegic friend who has trouble manipulating utensils. Like anyone, some children are sensitive to red dye, or have allergies that need to be kept in mind.

Birthday Parties- Hosting a Party for Your Special Needs Child

When your child is the one with the disability, their impending birthday can be involve a lot of different emotions. Depending on their social skills and ability to form relationships wondering who will show can be a concern.

Plan the party to fit their schedule and personality. Some children, disabled or not, cannot handle chaos for very long. Consider inviting just a few friends or setting the time frame for only a couple hours.

Plan a party around their normal routine. Especially for children who thrive on rituals, this can make or break a successful party. Remember to plan around medication or other important treatments.

Tips to Making it Work

Talk to your child about what to expect. Let them ask questions about their friends condition and answer honestly and in a matter of fact tone.

If your child does not handle the birthday party well, either as a guest or a host, chalk it up to an experience. No need to berate yourself. Use this as a teachable moment for all involved and move along. Try again another day, knowing what you know now.

Many sensory gym centers use specialized play equipment which can prove useful for disabled children.

It has become a very common need in the modern person to find it necessary to remove hair on some part of the body.

For many ladies, they find hair unattractive or undesirable in all sorts of places and must be removed: arms, legs, eyebrows, upper lip, armpit, and the bikini line.

Several methods are available to the individual for the removal of hair. For the majority of these procedures, the removal is temporary, as in, tweezing, hair removal creams, shaving, etc. Other options can be quite uncomfortable or excruciating depending on how sensitive the skin. These procedures must be repeated at frequent intervals. If the hair grows fast, the procedure may have to be done more than once a day.For permanent hair removal that will pose the least discomfort and produce admirable results, you should consider removing the unwanted hair using lasers. This is a fairly new procedure that is very effective and has become popular.

Review the following paragraphs to give you and idea on what laser hair removal is and how you could benefit from using on your unwanted hair.

Removal of hairs by laser has had the approval of the FDA as early as 1998. While earlier models caused a lot of pain and were quite slow, the current models are fast, efficient and cause less discomfort.

The laser works by penetrating the skin to reach the follicle. The absorption of the laser by the follicle suppresses and eventually stops hair growth. This means therefore that the length of treatment will be determined by the skin pigmentation. The darker the skin the longer the process will be as more energy will be required to penetrate the skin. It is important therefore that the doctor you go to has the experience and expertise in attending to the procedure on your type of skin and that he or she would recommend if you need to avail or perform laser hair removal for any skin color.

-The procedure does not come cheap. You should expect to fork-out from $100-$500 per visit. The darker the skin is, the higher the cost as more sessions will be required. The location of the treatment facility or the reputation of doctor will have a bearing on the fees, expertise notwithstanding.

-Hair growth is cyclical, consequently, for the procedure to be effective, many sessions will be needed so that the treatment can be performed to each hair growth cycle.

-You would be wise to exercise the greatest caution in selecting the doctor or facility to carry-out the operation. While there will be cost implications, the risks may well justify your selecting an expensive establishment where you are likely to receive the best care.

A good doctor or medical facility will also serve you best in addressing any discomfort resulting from the procedure.

With cryptographic currency back in the news again, Bitcoin is one of the most trending topics in the technology of finance. It is everywhere! Now it’s the best time to get into it and learn about investing. If you’re confused, we’ve got your back, in light of the fact that here’s everything you must know before purchasing your first bitcoin or choosing not to.

Why should you buy Bitcoin?

• It’s a Digital Wallet: To make transactions in Bitcoin, members need to run a program called wallet. Bitcoin balances are kept using a long series of numbers and letters linked by mathematical encryption algorithms called private and public “keys”. The private key is the secret code required to sell, purchase, exchange or make any transaction in a wallet. It should be kept safe and used to approve bitcoin transactions, whereas the public keys are responsible for depositions and withdrawing of transactions. It’s like a user’s signature.

• It’s like a personal document: If you want to sell or purchase Bitcoin, it’s mandatory to verify your identity by your personal documents like driver’s license as per the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Anti Money Laundering Policy.

• You should have a secured data or wifi connection- For bitcoin transactions online, care should be taken about where and when you should use your bitcoin wallet to avoid any kind of hacking, and public wifi network should be avoided.

• Clients can easily purchase bitcoin and cryptocurrencies from exchanges, which are online commercial centres.

• You can use your Credit card, Debit card or Bank account to purchase bitcoins. The bitcoins are then moved to your wallet depending upon the region of locale and exchange picked. After setting up your bitcoin wallet with a payment method, one can easily purchase bitcoin. One can even trade conventional currency for bitcoin.

How was Bitcoin created?

Did you know that measure of bitcoin produced at regular intervals slices down the middle like clockwork?

Cryptocurrencies are offered to computers when they effectively add a block to the blockchain. For each block, they join to blockchain they get 12.5 bitcoin or 48,625 dollars. This process of adding blocks is called “mining “ in the cryptocurrency world, isn’t simple! Indeed, the chances of tackling one of these issues on the Bitcoin are around one out of seven trillion. In simpler words, the chances of winning the lottery are one in 13 million.

To take care of complex math issues at those chances, PCs must run programs that cost them huge measures of influence, vitality, and cash. Later, miners discovered that graphics cards normally utilized for computer games were more successful at mining and GPUs came to overwhelm the game.

In 2013, Application Specific Integrated Circuits, Bitcoin circuits which are computers that are structured explicitly for mining digital money were used by miners. These can run very efficiently ranging from $500 to thousands.

Today, bitcoin mining is focused to the point that it must be done beneficially with the most modern ASICs. When utilizing personal computers, GPUs, or more established models of ASICs, the expense of energy utilisation really surpasses the income produced. Indeed, even with the freshest unit available, one PC is seldom enough to rival what miners call “mining pools”, which is a group of miners combining their digital skills and share the mined bitcoin between all the people involved.

In 2017, mining pools and organisations spoke to generally 80% to 90% of the computing power on the bitcoin network.

How to buy Bitcoin?

1. Get a Bitcoin Wallet –

With regards to picking a bitcoin wallet, you have choices, yet the Louis Vuitton and Gucci of the digital money world right currently are “hardware” and “software” wallets. You can connect your bank account with software wallets that are mobile applications. These wallets take into consideration fast and simple access to bitcoin; however the disadvantage is that a third party is handling your cash.

For new uses, Coinbase is the best and most straightforward spot to begin since it is associated legitimately to a bitcoin trade, which streamlines the purchasing and selling process. Coinbase is the most well known programming wallet accessible in the United States, to some degree since it has a site, portable application, and stores 98% of clients currencies offline for included security.

Blockchain.info is another well known wallet associated with the bitcoin trade; however the wallet isn’t upheld by a mobile application. Clients can likewise download mobile only wallets, for example, Bitcoin Wallet for Android or Blockchain Bitcoin Wallet for iOS.

2. Connect a Bank Account

Connect your bitcoin wallet to your Master-card, Debit card or Bank account to buy a bitcoin. In spite of the fact that these payment techniques all play a similar role, but for trading, conventional cash for bitcoin each have their charges and fees.

Exchanges made utilizing a Bank account can take 4-5 days to process on Coinbase; however this method is prescribed for first-time financial investors. While writing, bank accounts enable clients to spend as much as $11,250 every week.

Master-cards and Visas, then again, enable you to purchase bitcoin in a flash. The disadvantage is that on Coinbase and other well known trades, debit cards can only be used to buy cryptocurrencies and at the end of the day, just in smaller sums. Clients can’t sell bitcoin or store cash into their bank account when their wallet is associated with a debit card.

Regardless that two trades exchange a similar cryptocurrency all things considered, they both differ from each other from the services that they offer. They may have a different strategy, security, handling expenses, trade rates, and cryptocurrencies accessible for exchanging. Before finalising your choice, think and look around for the best option and trade available.

Who doesn’t love sitting down to a nice meal of their favorite comfort foods, especially when they have had a long hard day. Unfortunately, most of your favorite comfort foods do not fall within a healthy diet. If you are on a diet or just trying to eat healthier, then you know that it is hard to eat your favorite comfort foods without feeling guilty. Well, all you have to do is adapt your recipes a little bit for your favorite comfort foods. When you do just that, you can live a healthy and fit life without having to undergo coolsculpting or other similar procedures. For those who don’t known, coolsculpting freezes excess fat and helps remove stubborn fatty tissues.

Here are some very popular comfort foods and how you can keep them diet friendly.

Steak and Potatoes

When choosing a cut of meat, go for a sirloin cut or an inside round cut, as they have less saturated fat than other cuts of meat. Try to stay away from rib eyes and porterhouses as they are the worse cuts of meat for a diet. When making mashed potatoes, use skim milk or fat-free sour cream. Or better yet, use sweet potatoes instead of regular white potatoes for your potato craving. Try some sweet potatoes with a little bit of cinnamon and light butter spread. Or you can even try to mash up cooked cauliflower to resemble mashed potatoes as they have will have the same texture as the potatoes.

Macaroni and Cheese

To make macaroni and cheese diet friendly, substitute the real butter for light butter spread and the whole milk for skim milk. Or you can even skip all the butter all together. If you make your own homemade macaroni and cheese, use whole wheat noodles instead of regular noodles, as the whole wheat noodles contain more fiber and will fill you up faster. Many grocery stores also have macaroni and cheese in a box that is already made with whole grain or whole wheat noodles. Look for one of those instead of the normal macaroni in a box.

Meatloaf

When choosing the ground meat for your meatloaf, choose the leanest meat available to you. This will help cut back on the fat and grease in the meat. Add some sautéed vegetables to your meatloaf to make it more filling and healthier. Use onion, green pepper, red pepper, and zucchini in the meatloaf or whatever vegetables that you like. Use different kinds of seasonings such as garlic, oregano, and parsley to flavor the meatloaf. Skip the ketchup, as it contains extra sugar that you don’t need on your diet.

Chicken Noodle Soup

If you make your own chicken noodle soup, use the lesser sodium chicken broths for your soup. Make sure that you only use the white meat of the chicken. Again, use whole wheat or whole grain noodles to make the soup more filling. The key to making chicken noodle soup diet friendly is to pack on the vegetables. You should have more vegetables than noodles and chicken in the soup. Add onions, carrots, celery, and avoid the potatoes.

Everyone knows that losing weight is not an easy thing to do. Over the years, I have heard from a number of sources that have said that diets do not work. I find this to be very true. After you are done with the diet, you go back to eating your normal way. These diets do not really help and teach you what you really need to know to lose weight. Many are just money making programs.

I recently have lost weight and I have done it simply by watching my portions. I am not saying anything new here, but I think it is worth repeating since so many people fail with diets. Over the years, I have always shed pounds just by eating less. There is definitely a lot of truth to eating less carbohydrates and losing weight. I stopped having second portions, especially at dinner time. When I go back to eating more than what I really need, that is when I notice that I put the pounds back on.

I have heard many people say that you can eat anything and everything as long as you watch your portions. This is somewhat true, but I find that I will lose faster if I eat more fruits and vegetables as compared to pasta and bread. You will definitely lose weight by cutting the portions, but eating foods with little carbohydrates is much better for you. Many diets offer foods that are high in partially hydrogenised oils which aren’t good for you. Many are also processed with a lot of sodium and other chemicals.

Just a few months ago in the winter, I started noticing that my clothes were getting tighter on me. I tried on my shorts from last summer and they did not fit. I could not zipper them. I figured if I did not lose weight, I would have to buy a whole new summer wardrobe. It is very easy to put on weight in the winter. After dinner, instead of going outside to walk or do gardening, I sit in front of the television or computer. Besides, not watching my portions, I was not exercising like I should. Fortunately, I starting eating less throughout the day and I lost about five pounds. I need to lose more but I am glad that I was able to fit back into my clothes.

Many people are correct in saying that diets do not work. All the people that I know who were on diets, did lose weight at the time. When they got off of it, they put the weight right back on. The best way to lose weight is just to cut your portions in half. The first few days will be rough, because your body is used to eating more and you will desire to go for a second portion. After a week or two, you will find it much easier and you will get into a pattern of eating less. I have gotten to the point now that I do not like that stuffed feeling anymore from over eating. I am glad that my body is now adjusting to small portions.

Losing weight is a task that needs both dedication and caution and most people, just to avoid discomfort, are too lazy to go through important exercises or too reckless in their attempts.
