Nail Tools

Kupa Inc. makes electric nail files which are very powerful. The speed can be adjusted by a dial from slow to super fast and the direction switched from forward to backward.
They are best used by trained manicure professionals and only on acrylic or gel nails beyond the nail bed. Otherwise cuticles can be nicked or too much filing on the nail bed can damage it. (It's not easy to see how thin a nail is especially when there's acrylic dust flying around.)
Some salons won't even let their technicians use electric files because of the risks. Very good pros don't need to use them because appropriate application of gels, etc., greatly reduces the need for filing. Use of a regular nail file with optimal grit can save a lot of time and produce a perfect finish.

Clear Top Coat

After going to the trouble of getting a special manicure with art, you will want to protect it. Seche Vite is tough stuff! It must be one of the toughest top coats anywhere. In fact when it dries it has similar durability to nail gel! You can even file it the same way you can file gel. But it is beautifully self leveling, so no filing should be necessary.
Seche Vite gets much thicker with time (over a year), and can even get a bit "stringy" like old glue. Yet the price is fair and the plus side of the extra thickness with age is additional durability. If you usually apply one coat of Seche Vite for a standard manicure, apply two coats on a nail art manicure which is typically more difficult to "touch up" if it chips.

Types and design

"Hot dog" Sweater
The term "sweater" is a catch-all for various types of garments, except a zip up track-type jacket (also known as the Denika W C). A fundamental division is between a cardigan (which opens in front) and a pulloversweater vest or tank top; a "vest" in British English refers to the same item as "undershirt" in American English. (which does not). If the sweater has no sleeves, it is generally called a
A garment of this type was originally named a sweater either because it was designed to absorb sweat,[citation needed] or the garment was designed to promote a sweat during exercise. It has now become a household name, and other styles of garment (as named above) have kept the original term. A thermal t-shirt is not considered a sweater.Sweater
Navy "Wooly Pully" (woolen pullover), rib-knit.
Even within these groups, there is a great variety of design. All the various types of necklines are found, although the V-neck, turtleneck and the crew neck are the most popular. The waistline is typically at hip height, but can vary significantly. A typical sweater for woman is waist length, slightly overlapping the waist of the pants or skirt. In contrast to the more "skin revealing tops" for women that can be seen today, the sweater remains a conservative garment. A normal waist-length sweater, worn alone, will only show the arms if short sleeved. Although some sweaters are cropped by design and expose the midriff (in more modern styles), the hip height sweater is modest, typically only revealing a slight amount of skin in the back, near the waist, if the wearer is sitting or bending. The sleeve length is likewise variable, ranging from small cap sleeves to short sleeves to three-quarter sleeves to full-length sleeves. The front seam of a cardigan allows for further possibilities, such as a surplice or a bolero jacket. All the hems may have various types of borders, such as picots, ribbing (knitting) and frills.
One advantage of sweaters is that they conform well to the body without requiring the tailoring as woven garments. For example, shaping such as darts, flares and gores — commonly found in woven blouses, a comparable garment — are rarely needed in sweaters, thanks to the Elasticity and drape of knitted fabrics. Even when such shaping is needed, it can be knit into the fabric itself, without requiring seams. However, this very elasticity makes it necessary to use more care when washing.

 Nomenclature

If a sweater has a zipper that runs from the bottom to the top, it is usually known as a sweatshirt[citation needed]. A hooded sweatshirt is commonly known as a hoodie. A jumper with an open front fastened by buttons or a zipper, is called a cardigan. A hockey sweater was, in the early days of ice hockey, recognisable as what people in the 2000s would call a sweater, but has since evolved into a sort of jersey. Thus, in modern-day North American usage, the shirt of an ice-hockey player's uniform is traditionally called a sweater, regardless of the style.
In British English, a sweater is called a jersey, pullover or jumper, the last two terms being the most common name in British English and Australian English. In South African English, a sweater is always called a jersey. Sleeveless pullovers are known in American English and Australian English as vests or sweater vests. In British English they are known as tank tops or slipovers.
A particularly loud, colorful, or decorative sweater has been known in America the past twenty years as a "Cosby Sweater", being named after comedian Bill Cosby's penchant for wearing them during the run of The Cosby Show.

Customary wear

Seaman's jumper, woolen, hand-knitted.
Thin sweaters may be worn tucked in to the waistband of trousers; but otherwise, men's sweaters are to be worn untucked. Nonetheless, some individuals, including some television and film actors, have been known for wearing tucked-in sweaters.
Sweaters are a versatile item of clothing and can be worn on top of almost any outfit. Sports sweaters, especially hoodies, are often worn on tops of sports kit while traveling to or from a sports ground. Sweaters can be worn with a dress shirt underneath (and optionally a tie), which has the advantage of allowing the wearer to have the option of removing the sweater when it is uncomfortably warm and still looking presentable in many situations. In the late 20th century the sweater increasingly came to be worn as an alternative to a shirt when finer materials made them more comfortable next to the skin.
Some women's sweaters are meant to be worn belted; a belt or drawstring is sometimes knitted into the sweater itself. Leggings are commonly worn with long sweaters or sweater dresses.

Dengue fever

Add caption
THE dengue virus now appears to be almost unstoppable, as more than 250 people in Lahore alone have fallen prey to these pesky bugs. Unfortunately, the disease is not confined to Lahore, and cases are being reported from every nook and cranny of the country, which shows the kind of virus we are faced with. The mosquito, carrying this virus, seems to have spread in many parts of Pakistan, thus posing a threat to the entire population. Worse still, no vaccine of the virus has yet been made and as such there is no specific treatment or medicine. The only way to keep the dangerous disease at bay is through preventive measures, which includes the use of pesticides and mosquito repellents.
What makes the situation really tricky to deal with is the fact that unlike ordinary mosquitoes, the ones carrying the dengue virus breed on clean water and are active especially at dawn and sunset. Along with the use of insect repellents, doctors are particularly urging the people to ensure that all water tanks or containers in their homes are properly covered to keep the mosquitoes away. One cannot help but worry more about the flood-affected areas, where the population is now a sitting duck for the tricky virus.
There is no doubt that so far as preventives measures like fumigation drives are concerned, the government has to play its part and see to it that places most likely to be the breeding grounds of mosquitoes are heavily sprayed. However, since the functioning of the local governments, especially in big cities, has been literally paralysed on account of suspension of funds by provincial governments, and the former have been in doldrums for the past two years, the fumigation drive that used to become a regular exercise at this time of the year has almost come to a halt. It is also a fact that so long as fumigation had been carried out effectively, the virus had remained under manageable limits. It is a paramount duty of the government to give precedence to the welfare of the people to any other interest.
Outbreak of Dengue Fever in Pakistan

The national Health Institute has confirmed one thousand, two hundred and seventy dengue cases across Pakistan.
According to News Channel Express 24/7, One thousand cases have been reported in Karachi alone.
Over in Rawalpindi, Doctors at Holy family Hospital say they’ve taken in forty one new cases of dengue fever in recent days.
While a hundred cases have been confirmed in Punjab. Thirty five in Islamabad, fifty five in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and one in Azad Jammu Kashmir.

The WHO says up to 50 million people are infected each year.
The mosquito borne Dengue is aptly called the bonebreaker disease as it causes intense pain. The district and federal health departments claim doing the needful by carrying out awareness campaigns, anti mosquito fumigation and giving emergency treatment facility. But the residents complain of lack of proper guidance and treatment facilities.
District Chakwal is the worst hit area in Punjab. The District Headquarters hospital lacks adequate treatment facility and every single patient with fever is being referred to hospitals in Rawlapindi or Islamabad.
Few days back,Chakwal Executive District Officer (Health) Dr Arshad Ali Sabir was suspended by Health Secretary Fawad Hassan Fawad,for his failure to timely take anti-dengue fever measures.

Treatment

 

Medical Care


  • Dengue fever is usually a self-limited illness, and only supportive care is required. Acetaminophen may be used to treat patients with symptomatic fever. Aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and corticosteroids should be avoided.
  • Patients with known or suspected dengue fever should have their platelet count and hematocrit measured daily from the third day of illness until 1-2 days after defervescence. Patients with a rising hematocrit level or falling platelet count should have intravascular volume deficits replaced. Patients who improve can continue to be monitored in an outpatient setting. Patients who do not improve should be admitted to the hospital for continued hydration.
  • Patients who develop signs of dengue hemorrhagic fever warrant closer observation. Patients who develop signs of dehydration, such as tachycardia, prolonged capillary refill time, cool or mottled skin, diminished pulse amplitude, altered mental status, decreased urine output, rise in hematocrit levels, narrowed pulse pressure, or hypotension, require admission for intravenous fluid administration.
  • Successful management of severe dengue requires careful attention to fluid management and proactive treatment of hemorrhage. Intravascular volume deficits should be corrected with isotonic fluids such as Ringers lactate solution. Boluses of 10-20 mL/kg should be given over 20 minutes and may be repeated. If this fails to correct the deficit, the hematocrit value should be determined, and, if it is rising, limited clinical information suggests that a plasma expander may be administered. Starch, dextran 40, or albumin 5% at a dose of 10-20 mL/kg may be used. One recent study has suggested that starch may be preferable because of hypersensitivity reactions to dextran.35 If the patient does not improve after this, blood loss should be considered. Patients with internal or gastrointestinal bleeding may require transfusion. Patients with coagulopathy may require fresh frozen plasma.
  • After patients with dehydration are stabilized, they usually require intravenous fluids for no more than 24-48 hours. Intravenous fluids should be stopped when the hematocrit level falls below 40% and adequate intravascular volume is present. At this time, patients reabsorb extravasated fluid and are at risk for volume overload if intravenous fluids are continued. Do not interpret a falling hematocrit value in a clinically improving patient as a sign of internal bleeding.
  • Platelet and fresh frozen plasma transfusions may be required to control severe bleeding. A recent case report demonstrated good improvement following intravenous anti-D globulin administration in two patients. The authors proposed that, similarly to nondengue forms of immune thrombocytopenic purpura, intravenous anti-D produces Fcγ receptor blockade to raise platelet counts.36
  • Patients who are resuscitated from shock rapidly recover. Patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome may be discharged from the hospital when they meet the following criteria:
    • Afebrile for 24 hours without antipyretics
    • Good appetite, clinically improved condition
    • Adequate urine output
    • Stable hematocrit level
    • At least 48 hours since recovery from shock
    • Absence of respiratory distress
    • Platelet count greater than 50,000 cells/μL

Surgical Care

No specific surgical intervention is necessary in patients with dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, or dengue shock syndrome.

Consultations


  • Consultation with an infectious diseases specialist may be helpful in guiding decisions regarding diagnosis and treatment.
  • Consultation with a critical care medicine specialist may be helpful when treating patients with dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome and severe hemorrhagic manifestations or shock.

Diet


  • No specific diet is necessary for patients with dengue fever.
  • Patients may become dehydrated from fever, lack of oral intake, or vomiting. Patients who are able to tolerate oral fluids should be encouraged to drink oral rehydration solution, fruit juice, or water to prevent dehydration.
  • Return of appetite after dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome is a sign of recovery.

Activity

Bedrest is recommended for patients with symptomatic dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever, or dengue shock syndrome.

Medication

No specific antiviral medication currently is available to treat dengue infections. Single-dose methylprednisolone showed no mortality benefit in the treatment of dengue shock syndrome (dengue shock syndrome) in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.37
Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is recommended for treatment of pain and fever. Aspirin, other salicylates, and NSAIDs should be avoided.

Analgesics/antipyretics

The treatment of dengue fever is symptomatic and supportive in nature. Bedrest and mild analgesic-antipyretic therapy are often helpful in relieving lethargy, malaise, and fever associated with the disease.

 

Myths & Tips Breaking into A Career as a Fashion Designer for youngsters

For many women, becoming a fashion designer is a lifelong dream.We all love to wear beautiful clothes and make ourselves feel good from the inside out.
We often imagine what it feels like to actually make money doing something this great: dressing people up and making them feel good, models catwalking the runway gracefully to showcase our designs, stylists working frantically at the backstage and we are introduced as “the designer” at the closing. Ah, pretty tempting, indeed, but somehow it feels so surreal. Can I actually become a fashion designer?
Despite the misconception that only those who graduate from New York prestigious fashion schools can make it big in this highly lucrative and competitive field, many fashion designers literally work their way up working from home.
Karen and Warren Hipwell, for instance, started and still operate design studio from their residence in Massachusetts. Despite their humble start, now their products are sold in 110 retailers nationwide. Pure luck? Think again.
You, too, can become a fashion designer even if you have never worn “designer” clothes, don’t have a fashion degree, can’t draw or sew, and live far away from New York or Los Angeles. These are no more than myths. Let me briefly explain them to you.

Myth One: I have never worn “designer” clothes.

Reality: All clothes, including those in your closet, are designed by fashion designers. Many people confuse designer “collection,” which means high-priced seasonal line designed by top designers, with “the person” who designs clothes.


Myth Two: I don’t have a fashion degree.

Reality: Unlike the medical professions, which require extensive classroom and hands-on training, you can learn how to design anywhere. No special education is needed. You’ll be surprised to know that many established designers don’t have any special training.


Myth Three: I live far away from New York or Los Angeles.

Reality: While NY and LA are great places to find an internship position with established designers, fashion is a part of life and fashion designers can be found everywhere. Whether you live in a city of millions or a town of 10,000, there must be at least a few local fashion designers.


Myth Four: I cannot draw or sew.

Reality: Nobody can at the beginning. Strong motivation and perseverance are more important than how well you can draw or sew. Such skills can be learned easily (including using some free resources and by visiting
online sewing forums).


Myth Five: I don’t feel comfortable working in a high-profile industry.

Reality: Well, this glamorous image is no more than the most over-rated trait of the fashion industry. This image is created by the media with the help of fashion publicists and marketers to boost sales. Thus, the purpose is pure business. The better the coverage, the better the sales will be. Fashion designers work very hard for 18 to 24 months to deliver the best designs of the season.

Now you’re ready to plunge into this often-misunderstood field, here are some tips:
  • A fashion designer is an artist and an entrepreneur in one. Why? Because if you design in the name of art without considering the marketability, it’s very likely you won’t be successful. Many designers fail because of this.
  • You can choose your design specializations from a long list of classifications. Trivial items, such as beach and leg wears, are highly profitable products and relatively easy to produce compared with haute couture pieces.
  • Understand what your career goal is. You can choose whether you want to work for others or for yourself. Whichever one your choice is, apprenticeship is always a great option for new designers.
  • Keep up with the industry trends and news. Travel and read a lot to be informed and inspired. New insights will keep your creative skills fresh and ready to roll.
  • Persevere. Perseverance is the most important virtue of all because without it, nothing can be completed. Perseverance is your ticket to the peak of your career.
