Preventing Deterioration:Keep photographic materials at proper environmental conditions. Relative humidity is the single most important factor in preserving most photographic materials. Relative humidity levels above 60% will accelerate deterioration. Low and fluctuating humidity may also damage them. Conditions of around 68° F and 30-40% relative humidity are appropriate and easiest to maintain in enclosed areas, such as an interior closet or an air-conditioned room -- not in an attic or basement. High temperatures and high relative humidity levels will accelerate deterioration.Temperature, not relative humidity, is the controlling factor in the stability of contemporary color photographs. Storage at low temperatures (40°F or below) is recommended. Appropriate enclosures for cold storag

To parents who have been seeking some slam dunk response to two questions that their offspring aged 5 to 8 seem particularly fond of whining incessantly — "Why do I have to go to bed so early?" and "Why can't I have a TV in my room?" — science can now offer a reply that might just stop the little treasures in their tracks: "Because if I let you have your way, you will be a big fat obese tub by the time you hit the sixth grade." More sleep leads to less weightAccording to a study by the University of Michigan published in Pediatrics, every extra hour of sleep per night that a third-grader gets lowers his or her chances of being obese by grade six by 40 percent. The crucial amount of slumber time seems to be nine hours and 45 minutes; anything more than that cuts the obesity risk signi

The sutures used to close the incisions made during eyelid surgery perform the function of holding the tissues in close proximity in order to encourage faster healing. Since the eyes receive the most amount of focus, plastic surgeons make use of very fine sutures to close the incisions. In a transconjunctival surgery approach however, the incisions are made inside the eyelid and result in no visible scars. You may request your surgeon for this technique, but he can only perform it if he finds you suitable for it. While the sutures or stitches are on, you will face some amount of discomfort and at times even a temporary loss of vision. But if you have an experienced plastic surgeon, he will be monitoring your progress closely. In a week or less the sutures will be removed and the wounds

Here are 5 simple starter tips to get you on your way and help you with your bonsai tree. Even the most caring person can mean well but make mistakes. It is better to get a bit of knowledge under your belt before undertaking a new challenge such as a bonsai. 1. Most bonsai are outdoor plants. All too often the mistake is made that because it is a bonsai it should be kept indoors. Only if it is a tropical tree it should be kept indoors. Tropical trees are notoriously more difficult to take care of than native trees. I recommend therefore starting off with outdoor native trees as they are much more easy to take care of. 2. Bonsai can get stressed. Another main reason that your first bonsai can die is that it can easily get stressed just like humans can. Stress is usually caused by moving it

You will know that you have dry skin if you feel that your face is taut, it's as if the size of your face is bigger than the skin you are in. Itchiness, redness, flaking and even scales on your eyebrows are all indications that your skin is dehydrated or simply dry. This condition, which also contributes to the development of premature wrinkles, needs special attention. Merely cleansing with ordinary soap and water will not improve your complexion and get rid of the nasty signs of dryness. Dryness can sometimes be genetic. If your parents and siblings have dry skin, you may also have this problem. However, there are also other factors that make a person's skin dry �" certain illnesses or conditions, dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, and even the environment. If you think that you

by NS KennedyCats are living longer lives thanks to dedicated care from their humans, and advances in veterinary medicine. Most experts consider a cat's "senior years" to begin on her 10th birthday. After this point, the aging process begins to slow in even the most playful feline. Yet, with a little extra attention from her owner, Miss Kitty might enjoy another 5-10 years of life and love.Just as with humans, cats often lose the ability to hear as they age. This often goes unnoticed by owners, who might chalk their cat's lack of response to typical feline aloofness. Without keen hearing and vision, however, an older cat is more vulnerable to threats from cars and dogs on the street. It is best to keep an older cat indoors. If she loves the fresh air, make sure you supervise her in a prote

Thus begins the introvert’s manifesto, a piece by Jonathan Rauch in The Atlantic titled “Caring for Your Introvert.” Published in March 2003, the short essay has triggered an unexpectedly enthusiastic response. Four and a half years later, it still draws more traffic than any other page in the archives of the magazine. Rauch explains that introverts are not shy or anti-social, but are exhausted by other people. The piece perfectly describes me, but it doesn’t give many specific pointers for how to deal with an introvert.
