How to Stop Oily Skin

Are you really despearate to stop oily skin? Are you constantly aware of your shiny, oily face? Does it make you feel uneasy and embarrassed in front of others? Are you in need of an oily skin cure? These are all questions that anyone with this condition will certainly say yes to, and for good reason, because trying to get rid of oily skin can be a difficult and frustrating journey for many in this situation.

Oil secretion from the skin, also known as sebum is caused be overactive sebaceous glands producing far too much oil than is required. It is a natural occurrence, which is necessary to lubricate our skin and hair, but only becomes a problem when the glands produce far more than is needed, making our bodies feel dirty and greasy. It tends to be more prolific on the shoulders, neck and head, with the face being the worst place of all.
The main concerns for many tend to be forever cleansing the skin, having a greasy looking complexion, acne prone oily skin and embarrassment when in the company of others. Within only an hour or so of cleansing, the skin can have a sheen and greasy appearance to it and will gradually get worse as time goes by. Hot and humid conditions will make it worse and if left to build up can make it feel as if your face can’t breath and is ready to explode. Does this sound all too familiar to you?

Our skin and hair needs oil which acts as a natural moisturizer, but when the glands produce too much it makes our skin look shiny, dull looking and dirty. This very often creates other problems like spots, blackheads, swelling, enlarged pores and hair that looks like a grease pot. It is more widespread in teenagers but certainly not uncommon for many who are in their twenties, thirties, forties and fifties to suffer with oily face skin problems.

Topical solutions can help but do not slow down the production of oil. Too much washing can also have a negative effect because it can stimulate the glands to produce even more sebum. If you think about it, what you really need is an oily skin cure that slows down the production of oil before it ever has chance to reach the skin. You need a treatment that works from the inside by slowing down your overactive glands and balancing the discharge of sebum to the face and other problem areas of the body.

So is there anything we can do to balance the production of oil and put a stop to our embarrassing problem?
There is a natural oily skin remedy available that works in a totally different way to most other treatments by stopping the over-production of sebum from the sebaceous glands before it reaches the skin. This in turn helps to shrink larger pores and stop oily skin from ever being a problem again. No more embarrassing situations when in the company of others and no more mopping up every couple of hours.

How to Make Smoke in 3ds Max Studio

3ds Max is used for the creation of graphics, 3D models, and animation in a number of different fields. One of the most useful things about 3ds Max is its ability to produce a variety of special effects--such as smoke. There is actually more than one way to create smoke in the program. Often the effect is done using particles effects and dynamics, but a less complicated approach is to simply use the materials functions--to create the illusion of wafting smoke.

Instructions

1. • 1
     Open 3ds Max. Go to the "Primitives" menu and add a "Cone" shape to the scene. Position it so the wide end of the cone is up.
   • 2
     Go to the "Parameters" panel and adjust the size and shape of the cone to roughly what you want for the smoke you want to make. Turn on the "Generate Map Coords" function in the panel.
   • 3
     Go to the "Modifier" list and add an "Edit" mesh tag. Then use the "Selection" tools to select the top of the cone and delete it.
   • 4
     In the "Selection" panel, choose "Vertex" and turn on "Soft Selection." Make a selection of the top of the cone and you will see a gradient selection along the length of the cone.
   • 5
     Go to the "Parameters" panel and from the modifiers list choose "Noise." In the dialog, adjust the "Seed," "Scale" and "Strength" settings until the mesh in the preview is the shape you want for your smoke.
   • 6
     Go to the basic shader and create a new "Phong" material. In the panel, reduce the "Highlights" to 0. Make the "Opacity" about 10-20 percent, depending on how dense you want the smoke to be.
   • 7
     Under "Maps," select "Defuse." Click to add a "Falloff." Save your work and render your image.

Tsunamis have killed more than 70,000 people during the 20th century, and thousands more since the beginning of the 21st. The ability to predict a tsunami is still in its earliest stages. Predictors range from primitive visual cues to complex satellite data. The best place to predict tsunamis is in an area where earthquakes are likely.

1. • 1
     Run a computer simulation of the effects of earthquakes in various areas of the globe. Run the simulation just after an earthquake with an epicenter in the ocean, in order to predict where the resulting tsunami is likely to occur.
   • 2
     Use a pressure sensor at the bottom of the ocean to determine if a tsunami has started, as well as how large it might be.
   • 3
     Map the locations of the places most prone to tsunamis. Consult the data currently being compiled by satellite along with geological data for maps of the area.
   • 4
     Watch for a retreating shoreline, which is an immediate visual indicator that a tsunami is building. Notice how far the water is receding to gauge how large the tsunami is likely to be.
   • 5
     Pay attention to the earthquake hot zones, such as the, "ring of fire," in the Pacific. Check elevation maps after an ocean earthquake, to predict which areas of the coast are likely to be affected by the tsunami.
   • 6
     Pay attention to the latest earthquake prediction information, such as new uses for satellite data. Use earthquake predictors to predict a tsunami.

How To Avoid Internet Job Scams

How To Avoid Internet Job Scams
With unemployment at the highest rate since the early 1980′s record numbers of people are desperately searching for work.  The Internet is the medium most job seekers turn to today as do con artists  who use the Internet for fraud by preying on the unsuspecting.  In today’s economy, employment scam has become one of the fastest growing categories of fraud.
Fraud practitioners use Internet marketing and email scams to lure unsuspecting individuals who are looking for work.  Employment is advertised on legitimate job placement sites and message boards or the “supposed” job offers arrive to the individuals by email.  The typical guise is an international company needs to hire U.S. citizens as “agents” to perform certain services.  The Internet scam is simple: The lure of a home-based job that requires very little work and pays big dividends,  drawing “applicants” who then become victims of the scam.  Not only do they become the unwitting victim of fraud, they end up losing money they could ill afford and in many cases they themselves become victims of identity theft and sometimes even unwilling accomplices to crime.
The too-good-to-be-true positions include payroll clerks, customer service representatives, shipping managers, mystery shoppers, craft assemblers and many more variants—all promising hefty salaries, benefits and huge commissions.  For many victims, the hook is the promise of immediate, advance payments to the applicant. The company obtains personal and banking information from the new hire and checks are sent with instructions to wire a portion of the funds to a third party to cover expenses.  In some cases, packages immediately arrive with instructions on re-shipping merchandise to international destinations.  Once the checks are deposited and packages shipped, the dream job quickly becomes a nightmare.  The checks the victims deposited into their personal accounts are fake.  The duped “employee” is out their own money which was subsequently wired and they are now liable for the balance of the funds which can run into thousands of dollars. Usually the scam victim has lost all of their personal, scant funds previously deposited in their own bank account as well.  In many cases they have also unknowingly re-packaged and shipped stolen merchandise, often purchased with stolen credit card information, and the “new hire” has unknowingly participated in money laundering crimes and other fraud.
Spam has become the advertising tool of choice for many of the con artists.  AIS Media, an Atlanta-based Internet Interactive company that monitors Internet fraud, reports a dramatic increase in these scam emails.   Unsolicited emails are received by individuals featuring subject lines such as “Immediate Placement”, “We Received Your Resume”, “Business Request”, “Our Job ID 95313″ , “We’re Pleased to Offer Your Job” “HR Department Announcement”, etc.  Thomas Harpointner, CEO of AIS Media, says “many of these scams are just newer twists on an old fraud.  Today’s scam artists have learned to streamline the fraud using the Internet.  It has become the newest arena for scam artist to easily reach desperate people.  The scammers appeal to the desperation of the unemployed, who in many cases have been out of work for more than six months.”
The Internet scams have caught the attention of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which launched a crackdown on job con artists who prey on unemployed Americans.  Labeled “Operation Bottom Dollar”, the FTC—in cooperation with other federal agencies such as the FBI, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service—has begun targeting individuals and groups marketing deceptive and illegal jobs as well as work at home and other phony Internet scams.
Along with email scam, the con artists place bogus employment ads on legitimate Internet job placement sites.  The recruitment industry has stepped up its fight against the scam as well.  Job portals such as Monster.com, Craigslist, CareerBuilder and others, as well as search engines like Bing have become proactive in attempting to reduce these scams by entering into partnerships to display FTC consumer information to educate job seekers in recognizing job scams.  Recruiting sites, portals, message boards and other Internet services are quick to remove the scams as they are discovered, but with the fast pace of the Internet, the ads are posted as quickly as they are taken down.  Caution and prudence by job seekers is the primary defense to avoid being a victim of a job scam.
AIS Media’s Harpointner warns that if the posting appears too good to be true—it probably is.  “Desperation should not cloud common sense” says the AIS Media CEO.  “As job seekers scour the Internet and their email inbox anxiously looking for ways to generate much-needed income, they should always maintain a wary eye for scam.  Avoid responding to emails from
