ZUG, SWITZERLAND: Financial investors and leaders of more than 30 different faith traditions representing over 500 faith investment groups from eight religions and billions of dollars in assets, met in Zug's beautiful Lassalle Haus retreat centre together with representatives of the UN and some key impact investment funds, for a unique international meeting on Faith in Finance. They are there because they have all agreed to set out and make public their priorities for positive investment – a huge shift from the faith tradition of saying, for ethical reasons, what they won’t invest in. Asking the question: “what do you do with your investments to make a better planet?” they will give huge impetus to a new movement of faith assets to funds where they have a positive “faith-consistent” impact. www.arcworld.org/projects.asp?projectID=674

We have been seeing the Northern Harrier pretty consistently with each visit here, and we believe that this is one of a mated pair that usually surveys areas not far from the dirt drive. Luckily, in this instance, we were sitting in the vehicle observing the migratory Snow Geese in masses when my wife suddenly directed my attention straight ahead as this raptor flew low and almost directly toward the vehicle. Not wanting to alarm it, we remained in the car in hopes of it flying off to the side a bit, so that we could have a chance at photographing this beauty from the car with the window lowered. The drive is elevated a decent amount above the surrounding wetlands, so if all worked well, and the Northern Harrier did not alter its altitude, we might get lucky. All of this was happening within a matter of a few seconds, so holding my breath, and while securing a stable position by the window, I planted my eye against the view finder and was fortunate in getting it in sight as it neared the area by the car. Locking in on the subject, I clicked away. Well, upon downloading the card at home, the photo turned out to be better than I expected.
The Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Galloway Township, but commonly known as Brigantine, New Jersey, was originally established in 1939 with the Brigantine name, and again in 1967 as a combination with the Barnegat Division, in order to protect the natural wetlands for the regular wildlife inhabitants and the migratory birds that follow the Atlantic Flyway as they travel north and south throughout the year. Later in 1984, the two joined under the name of the current Edwin B Forsythe in honoring the late NJ Congressman and Conservationist.
The overwhelming majority of the area is wetlands and the within that, most of it is of a salt marsh nature. The roughly 47,000 acres of protective landscape is quite vast—wonderfully seen from the observation towers—and a well maintained 8-mile main drive, with several shorter extensions and songbird trails for hikers are available for more exploration. There are a number of raised platform nesting sites away from the drive for some of the raptors (eagles, ospreys, falcons, etc.) and a few observation towers along the driving route. These do offer better wide range vantage points; however, given the way the vegetative growth by the roadside is nicely trimmed back within reason, much of the wildlife can be appreciated right from the vehicles. And speaking of wildlife, there is a wealth of fascinating birds and other critters to admire.
One does not need to be a birder to enjoy the visit, for the overall landscape is so very beautiful and peaceful. The famous Atlantic City with its numerous casino resorts and attractive skyline sits mostly to the south and east, depending on where you are at the time, and, of course, just beyond that is the great Atlantic Ocean. When capturing AC under the right lighting conditions, namely “Magic Hour” toward the end of the day, the backdrop scenery can be captivating. To the north and west, the scenery is almost exclusively of the wetlands, with some small wooded areas of Southern New Jersey’s Pineland region.

I popped to the post office this afternoon to get some copies of my marriage certificate certified. On my way there, I spotted this abandoned Christmas tree. Here's a photo I took last January - spot the similarity?!
It always makes me a bit sad at this time of year - not particularly that Christmas is over, but how healthy some of these trees still look. It seems like such a waste!
Still feeling really tired (and Tim is completely exhausted) - think it must be the tail end of the bug we had a while ago. Early to bed tonight....
After consistently coming in third place, with the exception of Iowa, in
every Democratic caucus and primary, John Edwards is ending his bid for
the Democratic Presidential nomination in the very city he announced his
running - 13 months later. However he still clings to his convictions
and issues of which he based his campaign bid upon: ending American
poverty, fighting for the middle class and using his political status to
forward these causes. Not choosing to back either of the remaining
major candidates yet, he delivered his message on stage at a muddy
housing project staffed by AmeriCorps and ended the media event with the
assembly of a porch railing with his young son and daughter.
*Note: coverage of this former candidate neither embraces nor opposes
his views or party. The only implication one may accurately make is
that I have been following both sides of the race and had the
opportunity and forewarning to be able to attend this event.
In Rome, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with Italian President Sergio Mattarella.
The President of Ukraine expressed gratitude for Italy’s steadfast support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as its consistent focus on Ukraine during Italy’s presidency of the G7.
"I recall all our meetings, and they always concluded with us finding solutions to very complex issues. One of the most challenging is protecting the rights of people in Ukraine, as well as defending our sovereignty and territorial integrity. I am very pleased that your position in supporting Ukraine, our people, and our children has always remained unwavering," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The Ukrainian President provided an update on the situation at the front lines and on Russia’s ongoing missile terror targeting civilians.
During the meeting, the leaders discussed the continuation of military assistance to Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his appreciation to Italy for its significant military-technical support, including the approval of the 10th aid package.
He emphasized the importance of coordinated actions by partner countries to end the war with a just and lasting peace.
The President of Ukraine also commended Italy’s firm stance on maintaining and enforcing sanctions against Russia.
A key topic of negotiations was the return of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia.
The President thanked Italy for its care and support of Ukrainian orphans currently residing in Italy because of the Russian aggression.
The leaders also discussed preparations for the International Ukraine Recovery Conference, scheduled for July 10–11 in Rome. Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Italian experts could join the restoration of Ukraine’s cultural heritage.
President Zelenskyy extended an invitation to President Mattarella to visit Ukraine.
In 1981, Irwin Financial Corporation acquired Inland Mortgage Company. Inland Mortgage Corporation changed its name to Irwin Mortgage Corporation on January 1, 1998. The change was made to create a consistent brand identity across the country.
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Sept. 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Freedom Mortgage Corporation today announced it has closed on its acquisition of Irwin Mortgage Corporation's (IMC) loan origination platform and related headquarters operations from Columbus, Ind.-based Irwin Financial Corporation (NYSE:IFC). Through the deal, Freedom Mortgage is purchasing approximately $350 million in assets.
This transaction strengthens Freedom's position as one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the nation. Detailed terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The acquisition will bring Freedom from $3 billion in annual sales to approximately $12 billion. Now that the deal is inked, Freedom boasts more than 1,500 employees in 150 offices nationwide.
"Freedom has for years been a successful company, and Irwin Mortgage offers exceptionally strong platforms in retail, direct, wholesale and correspondent delivery channels. This acquisition will catapult Freedom to a new level," said Freedom CEO Stan Middleman.
Through this purchase, Freedom has acquired IMC's distribution channels and gained access to its workforce, thus creating an enhanced presence for Freedom in many markets across the United States.
Prior to the acquisition, Freedom served primarily the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and California markets. The acquisition of IMC expands Freedom's reach into the Southeast, Midwest, Arizona and Florida.
"When we first heard about this opportunity, we saw it as a chance to buy what we consider one of the great franchises in the mortgage business," said Freedom Senior Vice President Brian Simon. "IMC is an established leader with a proven origination platform, and this acquisition creates a winning combination."

The long series of films, videos, engaged interventions in public space, performances, and object installations provide a consistent testimony to the power of the themes reflected. For many years, Vladimír Turner has persistently pointed out problematic, and often strongly cautionary, moments of Anthropocene civilisation in various places around the world. The enchanted mechanism of consumption-production, the deceitfulness of marketing strategies, the extraction of non-renewable resources, the brutal devastation of the landscape, mass tourism, the misconception of the possibility of shackling the organism of a big city to a structure of order, gentrification, homelessness, inhumane methods of political systems. In fact, the theme of the essence of pure humanity, personal and social responsibility towards the landscape, nature, and a sustainable way of life based on local self-sufficiency is recalled again and again. He points out the themes through matter-of-factly simple acts. This makes the awareness of the necessity of individual engagement all the more intense. Although his conceptual works have an activist character, often dealing with the subversion of paradox, the expressive power of the pure artistry cannot be ignored. Through his installation for the Veleslavín station, Vladimír Turner verbalises the sculptural situation with the themes of sustainable mobility, fossil fuels, international trade, the relationship of motoring vs. train transport, and exodus and nomadism as consequences of climate change. He chooses the form of a specifically modified Volvo car, with an appeal to the constant presence of the potential of a natural human resource. The ideas of the installation are directly related to the genesis of the artist’s intended film, in which he finds himself in the role of an aborigine, the last survivor on planet Earth, who begins to build everything necessary to live from the garbage all around him. “System Change! Not Climate Change!” (VT)

Eichhornia, commonly called water hyacinths, was a polyphyletic genus of the aquatic flowering plants family Pontederiaceae. Since it was consistently recovered in three independent lineages, it has been sunk into Pontederia, together with Monochoria. Each of the three lineages is currently recognized as subgenera in Pontederia.
From Wikipedia -
Eichhornia crassipes, commonly known as Common Water Hyacinth, is an aquatic plant native to the Amazon basin, and is often considered a highly problematic invasive species outside its native range. It is in the family Pontaderiaceae.
Its habitat ranges from tropical desert to subtropical or warm temperate desert to rainforest zones. It tolerates annual precipitations of 8.2 dm to 27.0 dm (mean of 8 cases = 15.8 dm), annual temperatures from 21.1°C to 27.2°C (mean of 5 cases = 24.9°C), and its pH tolerance is estimated at 5.0 to 7.5. It does not tolerate water temperatures >34°C. Leaves are killed by frost and salt water, the latter trait being used to kill some of it by floating rafts of the cut weed to the sea. Water hyacinths do not grow when the average salinity is greater than 15% that of sea water. In brackish water, its leaves show epinasty and chlorosis, and eventually die.
Because of E. crassipes invasiveness, several biological control agents have been released to control it, including two weevils, Neochetina bruchi Hustache (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and Neochetina eichhorniae Warner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and the moth Niphograpta albiguttalis (Warren) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). Neochetina eichhorniae causes "a substantial reduction in water hyacinth production" (in Louisiana); it reduces plant height, weight, root length, and makes the plant produce fewer daughter plants. N. eichhorniae was introduced from Argentina to Florida in 1972.
Azotobacter chroococcum, an N-fixing bacteria, is probably concentrated around the bases of the petioles. But the bacteria do not fix nitrogen unless the plant is suffering extreme N-deficiency.
Fresh plants contain prickly crystals. This plant is reported to contain HCN, alkaloid, and triterpenoid, and may induce itching. Plants sprayed with 2,4-D may accumulate lethal doses of nitrates, as well as various other nocive elements in polluted environments.
The plant was introduced by Belgian colonists to Rwanda to beautify their holdings and then advanced by natural means to Lake Victoria where it was first sighted in 1988. There, without any natural enemies, it has become an ecological plague, suffocating the lake, diminishing the fish reservoir, and hurting the local economies. It impedes access to Kisumu and other harbors.
The Water Hyacinth has also appeared to the north in Ethiopia, where it was first reported in 1965 at the Koka Reservoir and in the Awash River, where the Ethiopian Electric Light and Power Authority has managed to bring it under moderate control at the considerable cost of human labor. Other infestations in Ethiopia include many bodies of water in the Gambela Region, the Blue Nile from just below Lake Tana into Sudan, and Lake Ellen near Alem Tena.
Bioenergy
Because of its extremely high rate of development, Eichhornia crassipes is an excellent source of biomass. One hectare of standing crop can thus produce more than 70,000 m3 of biogas.
According to Curtis and Duke, one kg of dry matter can yield 370 liters of biogas, giving a heating value of 22,000 KJ/m3 (580 Btu/ft3) compared to pure methane (895 Btu/ft3)
Wolverton and McDonald report only 0.2 m3 methane per kg, indicating requirements of 350 MT biomass/ha to attain the 70,000 m3 yield projected by the National Academy of Sciences (Washington). Ueki and Kobayashi mention more than 200 MT/ha/yr. Reddy and Tucker found an experimental maximum of more than a half ton per day. Bengali farmers collect and pile up these plants to dry at the onset of the cold season; they then use the dry water hyacinths as fuel. They then use the ashes as fertilizer. In India, a ton of dried water hyacinth yield circa 50 liters ethanol and 200 kg residual fiber (7,700 Btu). Bacterial fermentation of one ton yields 26,500 cu ft gas (600 Btu) with 51.6% methane, 25.4% hydrogen, 22.1% CO2, and 1.2% oxygen. Gasification of one ton dry matter by air and steam at high temperatures (800°) gives circa 40,000 ft3 (circa 1,100 m3) natural gas (143 Btu/cu ft) containing 16.6% H3, 4.8% methane, 21.7% CO, 4.1% CO2, and 52.8% N. The high moisture content of water hyacinth, adding so much to handling costs, tends to limit commercial ventures. A continuous, hydraulic production system could be designed, which would provide a better utilization of capital investments than in conventional agriculture, which is essentially a batch operation.
The labour involved in harvesting water hyacinth can be greatly reduced by locating collection sites and processors on impoundments that take advantage of prevailing winds. Wastewater treatment systems could also favourably be added to this operation. The harvested biomass would then be converted to ethanol, natural gas, hydrogen and/or gaseous nitrogen, and fertilizer. The resulting byproducts of water and fertilizer can both be used to irrigate nearby cropland.
Phytoremediation, waste water treatment
The roots of Eichhornia crassipes naturally absorb pollutants, including lead, mercury, and strontium-90, as well as some organic compounds believed to be carcinogenic, in concentrations 10,000 times that in the surrounding water. Water hyacinths can be cultivated for waste water treatment.
Edibility
The plant is used as a carotene-rich table vegetable in Taiwan. Javanese sometimes cook and eat the green parts and inflorescence.
Medicinal use
In Kedah (Java), the flowers are used for medicating the skin of horses. The species is a tonic.
Other Uses
In East Africa, water hyacinth from Lake Victoria is used to make furniture, handbags and rope. The plant is also used as animal feed and organic fertilizer although there is controversy stemming from the high alkaline pH value of the fertilizer.
TIDE POOLIN'
Leo Carrillo beach in Malibu is consistently one of my favorite places to visit and photograph. I just love climbing around the rocks and investigating the tide pool. There are several ways to get there, but I usually take the 101 North to Malibu Canyon, head south over to Pacific Coast Highway, then West (a right turn) on PCH approximately 25 miles until you hit Leo Carrillo. From the Valley to Leo it's about a 45 minute to hour drive each way. The tide pool is just in front of the #3 lifeguard tower (and incidentally, dogs are allowed on leash from this tower and continuing west up the beach). I just google low tide Malibu to find out the best time to go there and check out the tide pool. Usually there's a several hour window about an hour before to an hour after low tide that's good. If you go after that, the waves usually are just hitting the rocks too hard and it can be dangerous to stand there. I always see tons of starfish (many different colors including orange, light blue, and purple), sea anemones (they are really fun to touch), mussels, crabs (little teeny black ones and bigger red ones), and even little fish swimming in the watery crags and crevices of the tide pool rocks. And I've spotted dolphins and whales from this beach. After an outing at Leo Carrillo, I always stop at this little food shack called Malibu Seafood, located just before you find yourself back at Malibu Canyon. It's totally no frills - you order food inside, wait for your number to be called, and find an open bench to sit down. My fave meals there are swordfish with rice pilaf and salad (the ranch is really good), fish and chips, clam chowder, or a pot of steamed clams in a nice broth.

Materia
Consistenza sottile della natura viva dell’universo,
sostanza grezza del sapore infinito del tempo.
Vista, olfatto, tatto, gusto, udito: strumenti di
indagine, coordinate di analisi.
Aria, acqua, terra, fuoco: elementi di costituzione, qualità dei risultati.
La tavolozza del mondo, le pennellate dei sensi!
Colori, sapori, odori si mescolano a impressioni
tattili e uditive sul respiro caldo della vita, in
cerca della sua fattura intima, della risposta
ultima che compone ed assorbe il mistero
irrisolto del tutto, la Materia vera della realtà,
la sorgente indefinita del sogno,
il borbottìo antico del mondo.
Frigento: un luogo multiforme e multisensoriale, dove permearsi delle pure essenze della Materia. L’aria ben ossigenata e ventilata è la sua energia pulita, nutritiva e su cui investe. L’elevata posizione geografica conferisce una rivitalizzante umidità al suo territorio fertile, pur forte nella sua natura rocciosa. Un fuoco salubre concima segretamente le sue profondità, le sue varie espressioni fisiche: quel ‘ribollìo’ sulfureo in località Mefite (tempio della dea omonima), capricciosa sorgente di benessere, affascinante voce sotterranea di mistero e di storia.

Financial investors and leaders of more than 30 different faith traditions representing over 500 faith investment groups and billions of dollars in assets, met in Zug's beautiful Lassalle-Haus retreat centre for a unique international meeting on Faith in Finance. Asking the question: “what do you do with your investments to make a better planet?” they launched the Zug Guidelines on Faith-Consistent Investment and a new alliance to support this movement, with a procession through the medieval town of Zug.

Les grottes de Han consistent en un ensemble de grottes souterraines à Han-sur-Lesse près de Rochefort, située sur la rivière Lesse en Famenne (Belgique), dans la région géologique appelée Calestienne.
C'est la Lesse, un affluent de la Meuse, qui est à l'origine de ces grottes, par érosion d'une partie de la colline calcaire. La rivière disparaît sous le sol sur une distance d'environ 1 100 mètres (à vol d'oiseau), mais l'eau met 20 heures pour parcourir cette distance. (Wikipédia)

The most consistently dangerous Nigeria striker when fit, Obafemi Martins could be the wildcard that Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback needs to escape a tricky Group B at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa this summer. Explosive and deceptively powerful, the forward can stretch a defence and put away goals at a healthy clip. In fact, the Super Eagles can thank the heroics of Martins for even reaching Africa’s first finals, an ironic twist for a star who has been in and out of favour with Nigeria over the years.

Weber gas grills reviews consistently award them with four to 5 star ratings. Having a company that's been in business so long as Weber has, is it any wonder they've mastered the grill?

Cons

Other complaints have related to simple fixes like perhaps a knob wearing out, or perhaps a grill rack not becoming as adjustable as desired.

e02176a. There are two entities occurring together here. They appear to consistently be separate species, with quite different flower sizes. But apart from flower size they appear to be practically identical.
There is a record of C. calyptrata from Candys Bush Reserve, which seems to match the small-flowered type.
There are records of C. polyandra and eremaea in the broader area, both of which could match the larger flowered type.
However, there are images under these different names, especially under C. eremaea which show small flowers.
Florabase and ALA differ in the distribution of C. polyandra which looks like the most likely name for the larger flowered one. ALA shows it as occurring right through this area while Florabase has it not occurring anywhere near here!
Florabase has C. eremaea occurring in this area, but the image they use shows a different species with small paler flowers, similar to other images of C. calyptrate, while several Google images attributed to C. eremaea appear to match this larger flowered plant.
So there is multifaceted confusion. All I can do is take a guess at the names!! ( :>/
Are you struggling with body acne and looking for effective solutions? Body acne can be frustrating and affect your confidence. However, with the right products and a consistent skincare routine, you can clear up your skin and achieve a smoother complexion. In this article, we will explore various tips and tricks for dealing with body acne, including recommended products and practices to help you achieve clearer skin.
Dealing with body acne can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can effectively manage and clear up your skin. This article will provide you with valuable insights into the causes of body acne, preventive measures, recommended products, and lifestyle changes that can help you achieve clearer skin.
Understanding Body Acne
Body acne refers to the presence of pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads on areas other than the face, such as the chest, back, shoulders, and buttocks. It occurs when hair follicles get clogged with dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Understanding the causes of body acne is crucial for finding effective solutions.
Causes of Body Acne
Body acne can have various causes, including hormonal imbalances, excessive oil production, sweat accumulation, friction from tight clothing, and poor hygiene practices. Additionally, certain medications, genetics, and stress can contribute to the development of body acne. Identifying the underlying causes can help you address the issue more effectively.
Tips for Preventing Body Acne
Preventing body acne involves adopting a holistic approach to skincare. Here are some essential tips to minimize breakouts:
Shower regularly, especially after sweating or physical activities.
Use a gentle cleanser formulated for acne-prone skin to wash your body.
Avoid using harsh scrubs or loofahs, as they can irritate the skin.
Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing to minimize friction.
Choose fabrics that wick away moisture from the skin.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, as it can worsen acne.
Keep your bed sheets and clothing clean.
Avoid picking or squeezing acne lesions, as it can lead to scarring and further inflammation.
Essential Skincare Products for Body Acne
When it comes to managing body acne, using the right skincare products is crucial. Here are some essential products to incorporate into your routine:
Body wash or cleanser with salicylic acid: This ingredient helps exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation.
Exfoliating scrub: Gently exfoliating your skin once or twice a week can help remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores.
Benzoyl peroxide spot treatment: This ingredient can effectively kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation.
Oil-free moisturizer: Look for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Body sunscreen: Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial, and using a non-comedogenic sunscreen is essential for acne-prone skin.
How to Choose the Right Body Acne Products
With countless body acne products available in the market, selecting the right ones can be overwhelming. Consider the following factors when choosing your products:
Look for products specifically formulated for body acne.
Read product labels and opt for those containing acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
Consider your skin type and any sensitivities you may have.
Avoid products with potential irritants like fragrance or alcohol.
Check customer reviews and ratings to gauge product effectiveness.
Best Body Acne Cleansers
Choosing the right body acne cleanser is essential for effectively clearing up your skin. Here are some popular options:
Neutrogena Body Clear Acne Body Wash
CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser
Murad Acne Body Wash
Mario Badescu A.H.A. Botanical Body Soap
The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Body Wash
Effective Body Acne Treatments
In addition to cleansers, incorporating targeted body acne treatments into your routine can provide further benefits. Some effective treatments include:
Topical retinoids: These vitamin A derivatives help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and promote cell turnover.
Body sprays or toners with salicylic acid: These products can help prevent breakouts and exfoliate the skin.
Sulfur-based treatments: Sulfur helps absorb excess oil and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy: These can be recommended by a dermatologist for severe cases of body acne.
Natural Remedies for Body Acne
If you prefer natural remedies, several options can help manage body acne. Keep in mind that natural remedies may not work for everyone, and it's essential to consult with a dermatologist if your acne persists. Some natural remedies to consider include:
Tea tree oil: Known for its antimicrobial properties, tea tree oil can help fight acne-causing bacteria.
Aloe vera: Aloe vera has soothing properties and can reduce inflammation and redness.
Apple cider vinegar: Diluted apple cider vinegar can act as an astringent and help balance the skin's pH.
Lifestyle Changes for Clearer Skin
In addition to skincare products, making certain lifestyle changes can contribute to clearer skin. Consider the following:
Practice stress management techniques like meditation or exercise.
Avoid excessive sweating and promptly shower after workouts.
Avoid tight-fitting clothing and opt for breathable fabrics.
Choose fragrance-free laundry detergents and fabric softeners.
Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
Stay hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of water daily.
Dietary Considerations for Body Acne
While the relationship between diet and acne is still being studied, certain dietary considerations may help improve your skin's condition. Although not proven to work for everyone, the following tips may be beneficial:
Limit your intake of refined sugars and processed foods.
Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants, such as berries, leafy greens, and nuts.
Consider reducing dairy consumption, as it has been linked to acne in some individuals.
Avoid excessive consumption of greasy or fried foods.
Maintaining a Consistent Skincare Routine
Consistency is key when it comes to managing body acne. Establishing a skincare routine and sticking to it can help you achieve better results. Here's a sample skincare routine for body acne:
Morning:
Cleanse your body with an acne-fighting body wash.
Apply an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Apply a non-comedogenic sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
Evening:
Cleanse your body with an acne-fighting body wash.
Use an exfoliating scrub once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells.
Apply a spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide to target active breakouts.
Apply an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin balanced.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When dealing with body acne, it's important to avoid common mistakes that can worsen the condition. Here are some mistakes to steer clear of:
Overwashing or scrubbing your skin aggressively, as it can lead to irritation and dryness.
Using harsh, fragranced soaps or body washes that can strip the skin of its natural oils.
Ignoring the importance of moisturizing, as dry skin can lead to increased oil production.
Picking or popping acne lesions, as it can cause infection and scarring.
Neglecting to wash your clothes, towels, and bed sheets regularly, as they can harbor bacteria and irritate your skin.
When to Seek Professional Help
While most cases of body acne can be managed with over-the-counter products and lifestyle changes, some situations may require professional intervention. Consider consulting a dermatologist if:
Your acne is severe, widespread, or persistent.
You experience painful, cystic acne lesions.
Your acne is leaving scars or dark spots.
Over-the-counter treatments have not been effective.
You have underlying health conditions that may be contributing to your acne.
Conclusion
Dealing with body acne can be challenging, but with the right approach, you can achieve clearer, smoother skin. By understanding the causes of body acne, adopting preventive measures, using appropriate skincare products, and making necessary lifestyle changes, you can effectively manage and minimize breakouts. Remember to be consistent with your skincare routine and seek professional help if needed.
ZUG, SWITZERLAND: Financial investors and leaders of more than 30 different faith traditions representing over 500 faith investment groups from eight religions and billions of dollars in assets, met in Zug's beautiful Lassalle Haus retreat centre together with representatives of the UN and some key impact investment funds, for a unique international meeting on Faith in Finance. They are there because they have all agreed to set out and make public their priorities for positive investment – a huge shift from the faith tradition of saying, for ethical reasons, what they won’t invest in. Asking the question: “what do you do with your investments to make a better planet?” they will give huge impetus to a new movement of faith assets to funds where they have a positive “faith-consistent” impact. www.arcworld.org/projects.asp?projectID=674
A Salt Lake icon, this and the Broadway Theater a handful of blocks to the west are the only consistent supporters of art cinema and indie films. Sundance uses the Tower extensively during its film festival. We saw The Blair Witch Project there on its third and final showing at Sundance in 1999, I believe. It was noticeably different from the version that was released in the theaters: it was much longer and MUCH more intense.
In the grass are in front of the theater, a few concrete blobs with crap on them are embedded in the ground. Upon closer examination, you see names that are familiar to Rubin & Ed fans: Trent (Harris) and Crispin (Glover), both of which attended the Rubin & Ed premier at the Tower (Trent's a local guy). A third blob contains words that I never made out, but somebody told me had something to do with a Sunrise or Sunset movie with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy in it. Dunno.
Severely cool theater. Don't buy any of their gross boiled eggs, though. I shudder just thinking about them.
Quite surprised to see consistent standing water just 3ft below grade. I've waterjet drilled down to 10ft so far with this 3/4" PVC water drill. I've pumped it dry a few times, and it fills back up to this level. I could believe this if it was the middle of winter and we'd had lots of rain/snow etc, but it is at the end of the Summer beginning of Fall 2014. Granted we did not have a burn ban this year due to water drought, and the grass has been growing the entire summer, and is still green today - I'm still shocked to see water at this level.
I want to go to 30' , certainly no less than 20' to see what the land composition is like below my feet. You can see that at 10' I'm still bringing up a brownish/yellow form of clay. I guess I could start up a clay pot manufacturing business..... :)
BTW - Notice the "Crawfish/Crawdad" hole next to my waterjet hole. Dad always said "If you see crawdad holes in the summertime, that area is where you'd want to look if you ever needed water" . I'm starting to think he might have been onto something with that statement.

Even though the ICE has been all over the place this past week due to CP's computer system cut over (has any computer cut over gone smoothly in railroad history?) the pair of trees at MP 16 along the Marquette Sub are right on time! These trees have a habbit of turning bright orange by the middle of October. Note 606 kicking up a couple fallen leaves at the grade crossing.
