Know Your Body Know Your Style
KNOW YOUR BODY KNOW YOUR STYLE Our bodies are classified according to certain specific types of silhouettes. You will learn about your body type, the clothes that favor each silhouette and those that should definitely be avoided. Your body shape may have traits of two types of silhouettes. Stand in front of a full-length mirror in your underwear and carefully study your body shape. Regardless of whether you are slim or plump, your body will tend to predominantly conform to one of the body types described below. Knowing your silhouette, you will be able to know what type of outfits that will make you look great, and which ones you should avoid as they throw the shape of your body off balance. 2020 Playfication Learning, LLC © PagePage 1 of 1 8 of 8 HOURGLASS SHAPE This type of female figure is typically considered the perfect figure because it is the most proportionate. It is the most versatile body shape and practically everything that women with this figure wear looks good on them. However, you should avoid falling into exaggerations that unbalance your body. You have an hourglass figure, when your shoulders and hips measure the same, and your waist is narrower. You have a balanced and symmetrical body. Clothes that lengthen your body will accentuate your figure and make you look great. What to wear: 1. Wrap dresses and “A” shaped skirts 2. Dresses with a defined waist and knee-length skirts highlighting your curves 3. Solid colors 4. Two-piece dresses 5. Shirt dresses with a waist belt 6. -
The Following Carcinogenic Essential Oils Should Not Be Used In
Aromatherapy Undiluted- Safety and Ethics Copyright © Tony Burfield and Sylla Sheppard-Hanger (2005) [modified from a previous article “A Brief Safety Guidance on Essential Oils” written for IFA, Sept 2004]. Intro In the last 20 years aromatherapy has spread its influence to the household, toiletries and personal care areas: consumer products claiming to relax or invigorate our psyche’s have invaded our bathrooms, kitchen and living room areas. The numbers of therapists using essential oils in Europe and the USA has grown from a handful in the early 1980’s to thousands now worldwide. We have had time to add to our bank of knowledge on essential oils from reflecting on many decades of aromatherapeutic development and history, the collection of anecdotal information from practicing therapists, as well as from clinical & scientific investigations. We have also had enough time to consider the risks in employing essential oils in therapy. In the last twenty years, many more people have had accidents, been ‘burnt’, developed rashes, become allergic, and become sensitized to our beloved tools. Why is this? In this paper, we hope to shed light on this issue, clarify current safety findings, and discuss how Aromatherapists and those in the aromatherapy trade (suppliers, spas, etc.) can interpret this data for continued safe practice. After a refresher on current safety issues including carcinogenic and toxic oils, irritant and photo-toxic oils, we will look at allergens, oils without formal testing, pregnancy issues and medication interactions. We will address the increasing numbers of cases of sensitization and the effect of diluting essential oils. -

Received: 11 December 2013; in revised form: 26 January 2014 / Accepted: 28 January 2014 / Published: 24 February 2014 Abstract: The essential oil of juniper berries (Juniperus communis L., Cupressaceae) is traditionally used for medicinal and flavoring purposes. As elucidated by gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS methods), the juniper berry oil from Bulgaria is largely comprised of monoterpene hydrocarbons such as α-pinene (51.4%), myrcene (8.3%), sabinene (5.8%), limonene (5.1%) and β-pinene (5.0%). -
Use of Undiluted Tea-Tree Oil As a Cosmetic
Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) Use of undiluted tea-tree oil as a cosmetic Opinion of the Federal Insitute for Risk Assessment (BfR), 1th September 2003 Background Recently there has been an increasing amount of reports on contact-allergic eczema in con- junction with the use of tea-tree oil. Tea-tree oil is sold as a pure natural product, highly con- centrated and undiluted in cosmetics. Tea-tree oil is advertised as a universal remedy al- though there is no marketing authorisation as a pharmaceutical product. Concentrated tea-tree oil has been classified as harmful according to the self-classification of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and is labelled with R-phrases R 22 (harmful if swallowed) R 38 (irritating to skin) and R 65 (may cause lung damage if swallowed) as well as the symbol Xn (harmful) (IFRA Labelling Manual 1, 2001). These indications of health hazards are also part of the safety data sheets of raw material suppliers. At the 65th and 66th meetings of the Cosmetics Committee at the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), health risks associated with the use of undiluted and highly concentrated tea-tree oil in cosmetic products were discussed extensively. Result Tea-tree oil is a mixture of various terpenes extracted from the Australian tea-tree. Undiluted tea-tree oil is a pure natural product. In the presence of atmospheric oxygen but also when exposed to light and higher temperatures, oxidation processes occur leading to the formation of peroxides, epoxides and endoperoxides which have a sensitising potency and may trigger allergic skin reactions. -

Water Management in Leather Industry
Journal of Scientific & Industrial Research Vol. 60, June 2001, pp 443-450 Water Management in Leather Industry V John Sundar, R Ramesh, PS Rao, P Saravanan, B Sridharnath and C Muralidharan Central Leather Research Institute, Adyar, Chennai 600 020, India Received: 02 June 2000; accepted: 10 November 2000 Leather industry, like paper and textile industries, consumes large quantities of water. Such excessive usage, resulting from adoption of traditional processing methods and equipments, lead to acute water availability and eftluent treatment problems. Presently, about 30 billion litres of water is being used by this industry annually. A systematic study made at CLRI to reduce the excessive usage and further minimise water consumption in leather processing through optimisation and recycle and reuse strategies. The role of newer equipments, such as the hide processor and th e compartmental drum in minimising water usage in leather processing has also been studied extensively. Most of the protocols standardised at CLRI were implemented at select tanneries in Indi a and Sri Lanka, which resulted in better water management in the leather processing industry. The results of such detailed studies have been incorporated in the paper. Introduction vation efforts. The major responsibility, however, falls Water utilisation by mankind may be divided into three on the industry. broad categories, agricultural, domestic and industrial. Apparently, there is no dearth of water as 80 per cent of the earth's surface is covered by water. Even then, the Water Usage in Leather Industry world is heading towards a water crisis because 97.5 per cent of the global water reserve is salt water and only Water is an important medium in leather processing. -
General Pests
Kentucky Pesticide Education Program copyright © 2016 University of Kentucky Department of Entomology General Pests Written by: Michael F. Potter and G. Mark Beavers Ants Ants are the most frequent and persistent pests encountered around homes and buildings. Dozens of different species occur around homes and buildings, each has unique characteristics that may influence the most effective control method to use. In Kentucky, the most common house-invading ants include pavement ants, carpenter ants, acrobat ants, and odorous house ants. Besides being a nuisance, ants contaminate food, build unsightly mounds, or cause structural damage by hollowing out wood for nesting. Most species of these social insects live in belowground colonies. Exceptions include carpenter ants and acrobat ants that live in moist wood. Some species enter buildings in search of sweet or fatty substances. Others live in lawns and gardens or under rocks, patios, or sidewalks. While many of these species do not enter buildings, the mounds of fine soil that they bring to the surface while excavating can be a nuisance. Wingless worker ant with elbowed antennae and narrow waist between thorax and abdomen. (www.antark.net) Ants range from less than 1/8-inch to 1/2-inch long. Most have black bodies but some are yellow or red. All have chewing mouthparts. Ants undergo complete metamorphosis with 4 life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Ants are social insects that live in cooperative, intermingling colonies consisting of hundreds to thousands of individuals. There are different types of individuals (castes) in each colony that perform specific functions. All ant colonies contain one or more egg-laying queens. -
About Leather Types of Leather
About Leather Types of Leather Leather is an ancient, durable material created through a process of tanning animal rawhide to preserve it and make it pliable when dry. Many features of natural leather make it superior to synthetic products including durability, comfort, beauty, suppleness, and resilience. Plus, leather’s ability to patina and absorb body oils continues to enhance the leather’s appearance and makes it more beautiful over time. Leather can broadly be divided into full grain, enhanced grain, corrected grain, top grain and split leathers. Full Grain Leather Full grain leather has no surface alterations. The hide’s natural pores and grain textures are intact and it will develop a patina over time. The tiny pinholes dotting the surface indicate the hide’s open hair follicles. The presence of these hair follicles demonstrates a high quality surface which has not been altered to conceal flaws. This full grain surface breathes. It keeps the user Full grain comfortable as it adjusts to body temperature. Full grain leather is the highest quality, most beautiful, and most comfortable leather available. Enhanced Grain Leather Enhanced grain leather is a full grain with an artificial grain embossed over the natural grain. Enhanced grain leather has the same comfort and breathability of a full grain, but the surface has received minor alteration to improve grain Enhanced grain appearance. Corrected Grain Leather Corrected grain leather is produced from the upper portion of the hide. The surface is lightly sanded or refined then embossed with an artificial grain texture. Corrected grain leathers have a more consistent appearance across the entire surface. -
