			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" src="http://thesituationist.files.wordpress.com/2007/09/quian-jin-zu-he.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="233" />The effect is much more pronounced in women who carry excess weight close to their hips, known as pear shapes, than women who carry it all-around their waists, referred to as apple shapes.</p>
<p>The study of 8,745 cognitively regular, <strong>post-menopausal women</strong> ages 65 to 79 from the <a href="http://ithacamothers.org" target="_blank"><strong>Women&#8217;s Health</strong></a> Initiative hormone trials could be the very first inside the United States to link obesity to poorer memory and brain function in women and to identify the body-shape connection.</p>
<p>For every one-point boost in a <strong>woman&#8217;s BMI</strong>, her memory score dropped by 1 stage. The women were scored on a 100-point memory test, referred to as the Modified Mini-Mental Status Examination. The study controlled for such variables as diabetes, heart disease and stroke.</p>
<p>The cause pear-shaped women experienced much more memory and brain function deterioration than apple-shaped women is most likely associated to the kind of fat deposited around the hips versus the waist.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Obesity is bad but its effects are worse depending on where the fat is located</em>,&#8221; stated lead author Diana Kerwin, M.D., an assistant professor of medicine plus a physician at Northwestern Medicine.</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Cytokines, hormones released by the predominant kind of fat in the body that can cause inflammation, likely affect cognition</em>&#8220;, Kerwin stated. Kerwin&#8217;s research is funded through the T. Franklin Williams Award from Atlantic Philanthropies and Association of Specialty Professors and the Wisconsin Women&#8217;s Health Foundation Faculty Scholar Award. The Women&#8217;s Health Initiative was funded by a grant in the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some shoes are timeless in taste. The shoes are a good example. Many are so popular that some years ago. Others, such as women&#8217;s shoes, you may take one season before coming quickly replaced by the new style. Styles of shoes can year to year or season to season change, but the truth is that there is nothing new under the sun.</p>
<p>The shoes are there for nearly 30,000 years, according to researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and the oldest copy available to researchers, to marvel at more than 9,000 years and the bark of the belt absinthe. The cortex is certainly one sandal, and now we are like Spartan Back to honor this spring!</p>
<p>The story of my favorite shoes (the pencil) is still in its infancy compared to the old sandals that was not implemented until 1950. The addition of height was before, of course achieved. The 17th and 18th Century has seen its fair share of shoes that have a detachable stub. Women in Venice using these additions would add to that amount, of course, but why?<br />
<span id="more-89386"></span><br />
The women use the additional amount in order to demonstrate the richness of his family. Fabric was expensive and have the ability to be so high, and is still covered by a dress was a sure sign of financial stability of the family.</p>
<p>Women have worn shoes for years to be fulfilled and complete. If a woman is a beautiful dress, but he feels in the skin are not perfect, it will be something special, as if something is missing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not their fault, is written in blood in their genetic code for centuries and centuries. Do not underestimate power of shoes for women!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you struggling to survive in today&#8217;s world, while ignoring their value, you have to do with being female, and lost contact with his own inner knowledge?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Women have many interests such as the need for women, lifestyle, health, fashion, beauty, romance, good outlook on life, more social and Gossip, etc. Each interest is important and has a value. It is impossible to describe all interests. However, we can try to find some of them. There is so much interest among women. We can not find us, but they are present, because women are as deep as the sea</p>
<p>It is an attempt to shed light on a woman of interest and the characteristics necessary for women. Those are the basics and the most important issues. What do women want? What are your wishes? These issues are important and valuable. first wife&#8217;s affection for basic needs. Affection is the expression of love with hugs, kisses, cards and flowers, and the words &#8220;I love you.&#8221; The woman as mother, wife and sister of the need for affection. Affection is the first step to your complete satisfaction.</p>
<p>The second is the conversation. God Almighty gives men and women communicate with each other to understand a proper environment is necessary for maintenance. words are also tools for conversing with women. Choice of words based on the situation of women or personality is important.<br />
<span id="more-89382"></span><br />
emotional satisfaction is another important need for women. You talk a big fan and great friend, at the same time, she and share all kinds of problems to be free. It is natural feature. If women did not receive emotional satisfaction, you may experience different types of problems. If they get the right house, support and adequate stability, a house and Eden women flowers. If we meet all the requirements, you can think of the smell around you.</p>
<p>Although the broad security mandate and a general sense, but it is more in need of a woman. We need adequate protection for women, regardless of whether they are mother, sister or wife.</p>
<p>Women have a special place in the universe in all respects to that of men. They want to know what you think of him when she is not there. The little things count in most ways.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mother&#8217;s Day was not invented by marketing experts to help people buy things and the economy. We have developed a real object of women&#8217;s honor. It goes all the way back to Greek and Roman times, when they celebrated the honor and goddesses, some days of the year. And other countries and people have always found a way to celebrate mothers. Julia Ward Howe, the woman who wrote the Battle Hymn of the Republic proposed in 1872. Julia was an activist, writer and poet. His idea of a celebration of Mother&#8217;s Day of Peace was in June They wanted to work with women together against the war in a famous &#8220;Proclamation Mother&#8217;s Day in Boston wrote in 1870. A party was held in June of the mother for years, but later with the version of Mother&#8217;s Day we know. It focuses on a Mother&#8217;s Day of Peace, which I think would be a good idea to continue. Thus a day of Mother Earth &#8211; unlike our &#8220;Earth Day&#8221; as we celebrate today.</p>
<p>Anna Jarvis is probably the mother of Mother&#8217;s Day, when we celebrate today. They had the idea of his own mother, Ana María Reeves. Mrs. Reeves was an activist and social worker, must be that all mothers, living and dead met, esteem, and their contributions to society. Mrs. Reeves died in 1905 his daughter, a single woman without children, came to promote the dream of his mother. is to write letters and lobby groups and other supporters, Mother&#8217;s Day is celebrated in almost every state in 1911 and 6 May 1914 signed by President Woodrow Wilson a joint resolution declaring the second Sunday of May as Mother&#8217;s Day.<br />
<span id="more-89379"></span><br />
We owe our mothers. Even in the article he seems to be a lack of respect for mothers and women said.</p>
<p>But women bring a balance in the world and I can understand why Julia Ward Howe was the idea of a Mother&#8217;s Day of Peace. Women tend to be more maintenance side, always with the participation, cooperation, be nice &#8211; all these things we were taught about our mothers, together with our friends. How to get people tend great when you&#8217;re young. This is something we teach in schools, kindergartens, churches and workplaces. It starts with mom at home. How do you do with siblings or friends of his childhood? How can you learn to give and receive? What are the ways to resolve conflicts? He took his toys &#8211; Well, what can you do? There are several answers to this question, and even come to the solution &#8220;mother&#8221;. What we get mothers? I hope that many wonderful things. I know there are many women who are not really online &#8211; I work as a consultant, I do not see much. Sun Back and how to find the good things &#8211; perhaps they have done the best he could. When were the times when I think of you first thought? If you have a moment with him in the park or the zoo? He was there for you in the &#8220;wonderful&#8221; adolescence?</p>
<p>In honor of our mothers, we have come to us to watch and our role as a son or daughter. Are we doing everything possible for people to value our family and friends? You know, sometimes a mother is someone who has always acted like a mother in our lives, and we&#8217;re very close &#8211; and someone who fed us, we feel warm and fuzzy. He who made us feel &#8220;special&#8221;. It&#8217;s a mom! in all its forms, styles, sizes and come with all possible settings. And if you&#8217;re a mother, being the kind of mother would you have liked!</p>

<p>With the daily activities of eating our calendar, is a wonder that working mothers have time to use the bathroom (with small, even this is not a solo event.)</p>
<p>It is too easy to leave the intricacies of life, like any other first so that the research capacity of its state of physical and mental health.</p>
<p>Thus, in an effort to stress that I was a cranky lately escape, I decided to make an appointment for a massage (after thanking God for an extension of the loss of expiration).<br />
<span id="more-89377"></span><br />
Forced me to leave for work early, for once I was in the room and immediately knew it was the right decision! I entered the small building and was sitting by the smell of eucalyptus, mint a soft light and soothing music. The warm welcome and allowed me to begin to relax.</p>
<p>Once on the table, I quickly forgot why years ago, it is a monthly event in my schedule was. Each area is massaged the tension, I floated through my mind and care planning that is closest to the feeling of serenity that I was missing.</p>
<p>At first I tried on one side to escape a head full of tasks must be organized. Sixty minutes later, I was slowly from the table trying not to drool chalantly deep sleep of my lip (if elegant) wipe.</p>
<p>In one hour, the tension has been transformed to rest.</p>
<p>At that time, I realized that my time is not a luxury spa sacred. This investment in my personal peace should not be considered a luxury casual.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The hairdressing industry is thriving. Whilst some people prefer to pay ten pounds for a quick trim, others are prepared to spend thousands of pounds to get the most modern, stylish or unique look. Our high streets are full of salons, covering their windows with photographs of the latest &#8216;doo&#8217; and promoting their newest offers.</p>
<p>Whether you want your hair neatly trimmed, drastically cut, dyed, spiked, shaved, waved, curled, straightened, extended or plaited, there is always somewhere close by you can go and get your new look.</p>
<p>Hair products also over rule our shelves. There is wax, moose, styling sprays, heat protection sprays, shining sprays. However, it does not stop there. For instance, wax is not just wax. You have to chose which type you require, be it strong, wet look, non sticky or fluorescent.</p>
<p>Is this fashion craze a modern development, or has hair been a great cause of concern and a victim of experimentation for years?</p>
<p>The answer is, hair consciousness has been around for years. From Ancient civilisations to modern day, people have been flaunting and developing new and bizarre styles.</p>
<p>Take yourselves back to the Fifteenth Century for a moment- the era of Christopher Columbus. European craze at this time in history was to pluck your hairline to create a high forehead. Sounds strange today but back then it was the thing to do.</p>
<p>Wigs have been very popular all over the world for centuries. In Ancient Egypt Pharaohs used to wear long wigs, complete with plaits and accessorise. Other ancient peoples, including the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans also wore wigs. Curiously, wigs are principally a Western form of dress. In the Far East they have rarely been used except in the traditional theatre of China and Japan.</p>
<p>After the fall of The Roman Empire the use of wigs vanished from the West for a thousand years, however, they were revived in the Sixteenth Century. People used them to hide their hair loss and to improve personal appearance. Hygiene conditions could be pretty poor with many people suffering from head lice. Therefore, one of the best solutions was to shave all your hair off and replace it with a wig. Genius. Fashionable and practical.</p>
<p>Wigs remained popular throughout the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, becoming even more extravagant. In the Seventeenth Century Queen Elizabeth was famous for her red wig, whilst King Louis X111 and King Louis X1V of France set the trend for male wig-wearers.</p>
<p>Wigs were often full, thick and fell below the shoulders. White powdered, long ringlets were the order of the day often tied back with a black bow for men or decorated with flowers and garlands for women. Elaborate wigs worn by ladies consisted of mile-high coiffures and highly decorated curls to emphasize their social status. The fancier the better was the fashion with many ladies modeling &#8220;bird cage&#8217; or maritime hair doos complete with model bird or boat.</p>
<p>There was, however, one problem with the large elaborate wigs. They took a long time to complete and often became the very favourite nesting place for vermin. Nice.</p>
<p>Male wigs became more subtle, as the Eighteenth Century continued and were adopted by many professionals. Full Female wigs were not in fashion in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. Women would simply wear them if they had lost their hair and they were often connected with the symptoms of diphtheria.</p>
<p>During the early Twentieth Century, wigs were exchanged for regular trips to the salon to have hair curled and set by a large hair dryer. This would take up a lot of time, however, women were prepared to sacrifice their days to make sure they were in fashion.</p>
<p>The &#8216;Roaring Twenties&#8217; saw a change in hair trends, curls and ringlets were swapped for short, sleek bobs or short, tightly waved, tight curl styles, continuing into the 1930s. More ladies had access to the cinema and were keen to follow the styles of their actress role models. Males wore shorter, rather conservative short back and side styles.</p>
<p>The war meant both ladies and gentlemen had to be practical due to warfare, hard working conditions and lack of shampoo. Many women opted to hide their hair away in a hair net or a head scalf, just exposing their fringes.</p>
<p>Post war saw the introduction of home hair curlers, reviving the curl. Although, curlers were practical, they were difficult to get used to and led to many an uncomfortable night, sleeping on the rollers for the price of fashion. Think Sandra Dee type curls and flicks. Eventually one of the first hand held hairdryers came on the market, connected to a pink plastic bonnet that fitted over the woman&#8217;s head to help with drying and setting styles at home.</p>
<p>Males donned crew cuts and thick sideburns, as well as the famous &#8220;duck tail&#8221;. The &#8220;porcupine&#8221; was also a hit. These styles were complete with excess starch and Bryl Cream. Think Elvis or James Dean.</p>
<p>The 1960s ladies exchanged ringlets for the beehive. The bigger the better was the trend and the most important product was hairspray. Mountain like styles were often complemented by blond streaks. Men proffered choppy, side-parted, bed-head styles.</p>
<p>The bouffant styles were soon replaced by long straight hair. As people got caught up in the progression of civil rights and women&#8217;s movements, fashion also adapted. Ladies skirts became tighter and shorter and their hair became longer and sleeker.</p>
<p>The rebellious nature of society continued throughout the 70s and 80s, with long hair remaining a feature of the hippie movement. Long, flowing, natural styles were preferred, accessorised with flowers and multi-coloured headbands. Madonna helped set the trend in the eighties with her ever changing styles.</p>
<p>The 90s was almost a free for all with people experimenting with all kinds of ideas, yet there were still those styles which were more popular than others. Tight pony tails with two, bleached strands of hair framing the face was a popular look amongst teenagers. The guys also thought they were cool when they shaved their heads leaving just a thick fringe at the front- this was almost always bleached too.</p>
<p>So, it seems that hair trends constantly change. So what is next? People rule out the Chav look. However, give it a few more years to catch on and the impressively slicked down, comb streaked, high pony tails, complete with mis-matched scrunchies may come into fashion. I believe the large silver hoop earring and tracksuit attire compliment this look even further.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok, Ok, I know, everyone has to chip in. After all, we all live on this planet, right? So honestly, I don&#8217;t mind the recycling every object that comes into my home. I don&#8217;t mind all the sorting and bins and the 245 different brand numbers on the bottom of plastic items. I don&#8217;t mind the chemical deprived household cleaners that seem to work OK and smell a lot nicer. I don&#8217;t mind the smaller model car that has; gasp and count them, four cylinders although I will admit to missing my big block Chevy.</p>
<p>My point is I am trying. I can buy organic with the best of them, I watch my energy and water usage and count my carbon footprints. I consciously try to reduce my garbage and I and filter my water too. I can reuse plastic bags and buy swirly looking light bulbs. However there is one &#8220;green&#8221; issue I just can not abide by. I&#8217;m talking about those ugly re-usable shopping bags. I mean, whose idea was that, and why do they have to be so darn ugly?</p>
<p>There is no way in heaven I&#8217;m gonna walk around with a ugly colorless store branded re-usable shopping bag over my arm. I have to draw the line somewhere and that is it. No way am I going to pair my beautiful shoes, vintage purse and designer outfit with a faded green looking canvas bag, even if it is just from the store out to the car and then in side to the kitchen. Gosh darn, doesn&#8217;t someone have to stop and say enough!</p>
<p>So girls, I&#8217;ve given this a lot of thought, and here is my green but still very fashionable opinion: Go out and get yourself a beautiful beach bag or two or three. Beach bags can be for towels, books, ipods, books, lotion, valuables, and yes even groceries. If you don&#8217;t care for colorful beach bags, get a few fine looking leather book bags.</p>
<p>Choose carefully and keep in mind they will have to go well with any outfit you happen to be wearing when you wander into the store. The ideal bags should be big, and heavy duty, with thick fabric and well sewn seams. Throw those beautiful bags in the back seat of your car and the next time you have to shop, you can do it in style and still living a green lifestyle!</p>
