Botox Treatment for maintaining a fresher, softer, refreshed, more relaxed looking faces

0 comments
Many women want to maintain smooth youthful look and worried when they notice signs of aging: wrinkled face, forehead lines, graying and reducing hairline, lipstick lines, protruded belly, sagging skin, etc. We try to slow down the aging process by following combination of physical fitness, stress management, food, nutrition, healthy lifestyle, cosmetic treatment, medicine, surgery and therapy.

There are many Anti-Aging treatments, therapies and diet program with promise to renew the look and feel of the skin of the body; maintain a fresher, softer, refreshed, more relaxed looking faces; and slow down aging process. Hormone Replacement Therapy, Anti aging cream and gel, Non Surgical Treatments (Collagen replacement treatment, Dermal Fillers, Botox Cosmetic Injections) and Cosmetic Surgery (Eyelids lift, Neck lift, Forehead Lift, Anti aging Laser Skin Resurfacing, Chemical Peel) are some of the option that help to effectively reduce the effects of aging or restoring youthful appearance.

Edmonton Botox injection is on the rage today due to its simple and easy treatment ( approximately 10 minutes, no anesthesia is required), minimum side effects (Discomfort is minimal and brief -- just a bug bite sensation or slight temporary bruising), and practically instantaneous results. Botox treatment smoothes out frown lines by preventing the muscles between your eyebrows from contracting into a wrinkle. Very low doses of BOTOX are injected directly into the overactive muscles that cause lines to form. BOTOX works by blocking the transmission of nerve impulses to the injected muscles, and as a result, the muscle relaxes for up to 4 months. As the muscle relaxes, the dynamic wrinkle overlying the muscle is smoothed away. The most common areas for the use of BOTOX Cosmetic are the frown lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead. Botox must be injected very precisely, and skill and practice are necessary for good results. Therefore, make sure that you are treated by an experienced doctor, who will be able to determine the right dose and injection technique for you. The effects of BOTOX are usually confined to the injected region; it does not travel throughout the body.

Botox treatment is only effective for dynamic wrinkles. So, if you have fine wrinkles, consider micro peels or other chemical peels. Botox also needs to be used within a few days after it’s mixed. So if you aren’t getting fresh Botox, you'll get less effective and shorter lasting results. Botox needs to be mixed with sterile saline, but some unscrupulous doctors may dilute the Botox too much, which can make it less effective. Ask your plastic surgeon how much saline he or she uses to dilute the vial of Botox and how many units of Botox will be injected in each area. For effective result, you need to get an ample amount of Botox units, so it’s best to pay per unit, rather than per area.

0 comments
Getting best web hosting providers that meet all of your specific web hosting requirements, can be easier with the help of independent web hosting reviews. They help you to assess suitable Web Hosting Providers based on many criteria: stability/reliability, uptime requirement, key hosting features, customer support and service, access speed, affordability and future business growth.

Alreadyhosting is a free research site that help you determine the right web hosting provider for your personal, business, ecommerce, real estate, or church web sites needs. They provide a simple, easy to follow comparison that help you quickly choose right web hosting plan, ranging from cheap web hosting, unlimited domain hosting, to large e-commerce web hosting. If you prefer Dedicated Server Hosting, you’ll benefit from increased security, greater server control and faster server response time. What I like about Alreadyhosting is the ability to quickly compare Top 10 Web Hosts that are ranked based on key hosting features and price. Many of them offer Unlimited hosting, like Unlimited Disk Space and Unlimited Bandwidth. But beware that some "unlimited" type hosts will usually have a clause in their small print which enables them to suspend or interrupt service if they consider that your site is using too much of the server resources. Typically these unlimited hosting plan draws large customers, thus creating high server contention ratio. So, it is important to choose servers have low contention ratios, that offer flexible & cost effective packages and well supported by an excellent technical support infrastructure.

In addition, you'll get useful WebHosting resources from Alreadyhosting: Free Wordpress Themes, Domain Availability Tool, Web Hosting Coupon Codes, Web Hosting Articles, or Web Hosting Directory. In summary, you'll compare and find suitable web hosting sites faster with Alreadyhosting. It guides you on making balanced decision on which web hosting service work best for you.

Anti Aging Treatments to maintain a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance and slow down aging process

0 comments
Many women, just like me, are particularly worried when they notice signs of aging: graying and reducing hairline, wrinkled face, forehead lines, lipstick lines, protruded belly, sagging skin, etc. Anti Aging process involves combination of physical fitness, stress management, food, nutrition and others. We try to slow down the aging process by following combination of healthy lifestyle, behavior, treatment, medicine, surgery and therapy.

Anti-Aging treatments, therapies and diet are a rage today with promise to maintain a fresher, smoother and more youthful appearance and slow down aging process. There are many choices for renewing the look and feel of the skin of the body. Anti aging cream and gel, Hormone Replacement Therapy, Non Surgical Treatments (Collagen replacement treatment, Dermal Fillers & Cosmetic Injections) and Cosmetic Surgery (Forehead Lift, Eyelids lift, Neck lift, Anti aging Laser Skin Resurfacing, Chemical Peel) are some of the option that help to effectively reduce the effects of aging or slows down the degeneration process of aging. Anti aging products will certainly hydrate the skin and lessen the effects of the appearance of aging through a renewed outer layer of protection.

Dermal filler treatment is popular because it does not involve invasive surgery for removing wrinkles, folds and contour lines. Dermal fillers are injected into your skin for accentuating your looks, getting rid of wrinkles and fine lines, and sunken lips and cheeks. Filler injections are also commonly used to restore shape, volume and fullness to the lips, cheeks and the chin. They are effective in smoothing the texture of your skin and removing ‘crow’s feet’, lipstick lines, forehead lines and acne pits. The effect of dermal fillers gradually diminish with time and touch up treatments are required after a period of time.

Face lifts help to remove sagging skin and wrinkles permanently. Laser skin resurfacing is another popular method of treating fine lines, wrinkles and hyper pigmentation.

Treatments for Anti-Aging should be taken carefully because accurate treatment can give us a new look whereas wrong treatment can do permanent damage to us. It is important to consult anti aging doctors/physicians who can suggest you to take the right treatment.

Employee Engagement Is Energized by Intrinsic Rewards. Diagnostic Framework to Build Effective Engagement.

1 comments
Employee Engagement Is Energized by Intrinsic Rewards
Today's organizations have had to coin a new phrase, "employee engagement," to address the unique motivational needs of today's workers. However, the term has been used loosely to mean many different things. Employee engagement is defined here as active self-management—the key requirement of today's work. In turn, employee engagement is powered and sustained by the intrinsic rewards generated by self-management itself—by the sense of meaningfulness, the sense of choice, the sense of competence, and the sense of progress that come from effective self-management. Research findings show the powerful effects of the intrinsic rewards—on performance, professional development, job satisfaction, retention, organizational loyalty, and reduced stress. These four intrinsic rewards, then, are the psychological vital signs of an engaged work force. They provide a relatively healthy, positive, and sustainable form of motivation

Leaders Need a Diagnostic Framework to Build Engagement
Organizations and their leaders have been trying many different tactics, in a hit-or-miss way, to try to enhance engagement. Likewise, career-counseling books have promoted different strategies to help job holders make their work more rewarding. They provide a two-step set of diagnostics to give you a more efficient way of diagnosing engagement problems and providing the conditions needed to enhance engagement. The first step involves determining the levels of the four key intrinsic rewards to see whether low engagement is due to a deficiency in meaningfulness, choice, competence, or progress—because their sources and remedies are quite different. The second step involves examining the key building blocks for each intrinsic reward, as a kind of checklist to see which building blocks for that reward may be missing. This decision tree leads to a set of actions to help create the missing building block.

It Is Important for Leaders to Learn to Manage Their Own Intrinsic Rewards
Workshops have shown that it is much easier for leaders to lead for engagement when they first learn how to manage their own intrinsic rewards. Developing this skill helps you recognize the intrinsic rewards in your employees, gives you more credibility, and—as a bonus—helps you stay more engaged and energized. So after seeing rich descriptions of the experience of being high or low in each reward, we hope you recognize and chart your own levels of the rewards and discussed sets of actions that you can take to help create the building blocks that boost each reward in your own job.

Leading for Engagement Is a Matter of Following Basic Principles
Engaging employees is not a matter of personality or charisma. There are number of general guidelines or tips that include focusing on the steps of self-management, playing a positive role, listening and enabling, providing credible evidence for the intrinsic rewards, explaining your leadership philosophy, de-emphasizing money as a motivator, and working to engage the "motivational middle." It has also provided observable signs of the four intrinsic rewards in groups to help you chart their current levels in your team and to set some priorities for deciding which intrinsic rewards need the most attention. Importantly, focus on sets of leadership actions that you can take to create the building blocks for any of the intrinsic rewards that require your attention.

What are 4 addictive human sins?

0 comments
What are 4 addictive human sins? Gambling, Sex, Drugs and Smoking. My parents always advised me to avoid those 4 sins since I was young. Gambling is addictive and dangerous. It can ruin your wealth faster than the other 3 sins. Players are often disillusioned with high self confidence of winning. If you win, you feel the thrill and excitement, and it gives you the adrenaline rush to play again & make larger bets with this "easy money maker". If you lose, you never give up and always try to recoup your loss back by playing bigger bets. These never-ending negative spiral path to destruction will stop only when you lose your pants. Some people even resort to borrow money or commit crimes to satisfy their addictive gambling impulse.

People easily falls into the illusion of making easy money with gambling, while disregarding the true risk of gambling. Many gambling advertisement often promote the idea of social gambling. But, this 'gambling for fun' can gradually turns into 'gambling for profit' for many people. People can gamble on many areas: recreational billiards, lottery ticket, horse racing, boxing, soccer bets, cockfighting, casino, etc. From all gambling types, casino is the most lethal and the quickest path to destruction - fast route to win big or lose big. It is a fast pace game where you can play online casino within minutes per game. On any fast pace online casino games, players usually unable to retain emotional and rational control while playing. Lack of emotional and rational control, and poor money management often lead players into the losing path. Although gambling tax revenue is significant for the government budget, effective control and regulation should be increased in order to restrict excessive gambling habits into the fabric of society. It is obvious, the long term destruction of gambling surely far outweigh the short term's fun and excitement.

Property Rental Investment Tips for Landlords.Add value to your property.Offer Your Customers What They Want and Make them Most Valuable People (MVP).

0 comments


To attract and retain good rentpaying tenants
, you must offer tenants something better than your competitors (remember the MVP goal). To achieve this objective, there are new set of features and benefits:
1. Eliminated bad tenants. Bad tenants drive out good tenants. If you don’t quickly deal with problem tenants (or the problems that tenants present), you’ll soon find that your entire property has turned into a money pit of vacancies and repairs.
2. Beefed up safety and security. It’s not just the rich who care about safety and security, all decent people want to live free of hooligans and drug dealers. Your team need to initiate safety and security measures that included a grounds patrol.
3. Improved the aesthetics. Good tenants want to live in a home that shows pride of ownership. When serving the less well off, many property owners forget this fact. You should think differently. So, you try to attend to not just big ticket maintenance issues. You also cared enough to add special homey touches such as white shutters, colonial white doors (to replace the ugly, cheap aluminum doors), and an impeccable cleaning program.

"Know your customers. You’ve got to really get into the mind of the audience you’re aiming at. I don’t like hired gun, number-crunching market researchers. I do my own surveys and research. I draw my own conclusions."

Search for Competitive Advantage (Create Your MVP)
Many owners of investment properties still think of themselves as “landlords” (with an emphasis on “m’ lord”), and they think of their residents merely as “renters” who don’t deserve customer care. But just the opposite is true. Today (and in the future), market conditions require savvy investors to treat their tenants as valued customers—not serfs.
I don’t just build to a market. I create the market. I deliver to my customers more than they expect.
To create an MVP, intelligently survey and inspect competing properties. This market knowledge helps give you the insight you need to strategically customize your properties to make them stand out from competitors. When you adopt this MVP approach, you add to your profits (and to the value of your properties) for two reasons:
1. Better Resident Relations: The residents of your properties will reward you with lower turnover, fewer problems, and higher rents.
2. Alert to Opportunities: With a customer-oriented, constant improvement attitude, you will consistently look for and come up with ideas that will add value to your property operations.

To build a great brand, be conscious of the image and the quality of the product. You should focused not only on location, but the quality of the building—the windows, floors, rooms, kitchens, the whole thing.
To create an MVP, provide people a home. As you survey a property, imagine whether the units will live well for your target market:
 Do the units offer enough square footage?
 Are the units spotlessly clean, fresh, and bright? Do they smell clean and fresh?
 Do the room counts and room sizes represent the most profitable use of space?
 Do the aesthetics of the units excite with emotional appeal?
 Does the unit bring in enough natural light?
 What views will the tenants see from inside the units looking out?
 Do the units offer generous amounts of closet and storage space?
 Are the units quiet?
 Will tenants feel safe and secure within the units?
 Do the kitchens and baths offer eye-pleasing pizzazz?
Experience proves that homes rent faster and yield lower vacancies than mere rental houses and rental apartments. Homes sell faster and command higher prices than mere houses. Offer your tenants and buyers something special. They will pay you higher rents, stay longer, and show more care for their units—because they will regard those units as their home.

Product Life-Cycle Analysis. Key Actions to make products more competitive and well positioned in the market.

0 comments


Product Life-Cycle Analysis

Product life-cycle analysis is the process of assessing the type of life cycle which is applicable to the product, the point in the life cycle where the product is, and the reasons why it is in this position. For existing company products, the analysis provides a basis for forecasts of future sales and for deciding on recycling actions. But the analysis of the stage in the life cycle which products already marketed by other companies have reached helps in decisions on whether to develop and launch new or substitute products.

The analysis of the company's own products covers:
? trends in sales volume;
? trends in profit;
? trends in market share – rate of market penetration;
? economic trends (which may explain a growth or decline in sales);
? the pattern of sales – who buys, where they buy, to what extent they are first-time or repeat buyers;
? consumer opinions about the product derived from consumer surveys, media comment or test-marketing; and
? the features of the product compared with what is available elsewhere or is becoming available.

The analysis of competitive products also measures sales volume, market share and the pattern of sales. In addition, it assesses the reasons why the products are more or less competitive: price, advertising, promotion, sales, distribution and servicing effectiveness, product features which are uniquely attractive or increase the perceived value of the product.

The main benefit of product life-cycle analysis is that it forces the company to recognize what is happening to its product in the marketplace over time. Forecasts can be made of future trends and the likely impact of competition. The strengths and weaknesses of the company's product are identified so that the former can be exploited and the latter overcome. Life-cycle analysis is a continuous process which enables the company to review its marketing mix on the basis of a better understanding of the performance of its product.

Action
As a result of the analysis the following are actions that can be taken to ensure that a favourable trend continues or to arrest a decline by recycling.

Introduction stage
? Increase advertising and promotional expenditure to accelerate growth.
? Adjust prices to increase penetration.
? Adjust promotional message and sales approaches in response to analysis of consumer reactions.
? Improve product features in response to initial consumer reaction.

Growth stage
? Improve quality.
? Modify product characteristics.
? Extend market into new segments.
? Develop new distribution channels.
? Reduce prices to attract the next layer of price-sensitive buyers.

Maturity stage
? Find new market segments and customers.
? Reposition brand to appeal to a larger or faster-growing segment.
? Encourage increased usage among existing customers.
? Modify product characteristics – new features, style improvements.
? Modify marketing mix, eg cut prices, advertise or promote more aggressively, move into higher-volume market channels.

Decline stage
? Maintain brand in the hope that competitors will withdraw their products.
? Harvest brand, ie maximize profits by reducing costs but keeping up sales pressure.
? Terminate and withdraw the product.
