Идеальный бюст - просто и быстро

Идеальный бюст - просто и быстро


29.04.2010

Из века в век представления об идеальной форме груди меняются, шарахаясь из одной крайности в другую. То женщины сдавливали бюст свинцовыми пластинами, дабы уменьшить его, а то готовы были платить огромные деньги шарлатанам за обещания увеличить размер груди.

А главное - вовсе не размер, а, простите, качество - то есть упругость и красивая форма.

Грудь состоит из железистой, жировой и соединительной ткани, крепится при помощи сухожильных волокон к грудным мышцам (большой и малой).

Что плохо для груди

Неправильная осанка, быстрое похудение или, наоборот, общее увеличение массы тела. Все это отражается на женском бюсте, причем не лучшим образом.

Обладательницы груди больших размеров должны помнить, что неухоженный бюст имеет скверную тенденцию отвисать под собственной тяжестью. Поэтому им нужно своевременно устранить из пищи жиры и углеводы, больше принимая пищи, богатой белками и витаминами.

Маленькая же, грудь требует, наоборот, пищи, богатой жирами и углеводами, витаминами и железом.

Поскольку кожа груди очень нежная и легко подвержена изменениям, для сохранения эластичности и упругости бюста полезно раз в неделю протирать грудь соком одного лимона, разбавленного водой. Затем, дав коже обсохнуть, осторожно втереть питательный крем.

Процедуры, помогающие улучшить кровоснабжение груди

В первую очередь - холодный душ. Желательно каждый день обмывать бюст купальной рукавицей (куском полотна, массажной щеткой), смоченной в холодной воде (можно с добавлением небольшого количества соли или винного уксуса). Обмывания должны состоять из круговых движений: начинаться под грудью, направляясь затем по часовой стрелке в стороны вокруг груди и кверху до декольте. При этом каждой груди нужно уделять до 3-4 минут. Обтирания должны вызывать чувство легкого покалывания, а не жжения, и легкое порозовение. По окончании процедуры — несколько растирающих движений сухим махровым полотенцем по тем же направлениям и нанесение крема или оливкового масла.

Во-вторых, контрастный душ и компрессы. При контрастном душе нужно чередовать теплую и холодную воду, причем заканчивать следует холодной.

Для контрастного компресса смочите полотенце горячей водой, в которую добавьте немного соли, и приложите его к каждой груди отдельно, начиная снизу. Затем через 30 секунд окуните полотенце в холодную воду и также приложите на 1 минуту. Так повторяйте 10 раз и закончите процедуру холодным компрессом.

После компрессов хорошо натереть кожу груди составом из 1 ст. л. розмарина и 1 л воды. Вскипятите, остудите, процедите и добавьте 1 ст. л. поваренной соли и спирта и 2 ст. л. винного уксуса или лимонного сока. Нежная и бархатистая кожа груди станет вам наградой за труды.

Упражнения

Стретчинг грудных мышц

Встаньте на пол, ноги на ширине плеч. Отведите руки назад и сцепите их в «замок» ладонями от себя. Глубоко вдохните, втянув живот, и на вдохе тяните прямые руки назад и вверх. На выдохе сделайте руками несколько пружинящих движений точно так же - назад и вверх, стараясь максимально растянуть грудные мышцы. Расслабьтесь, опустите руки. Повторите упражнение не менее десяти раз. Последний подход закончите глубоким вдохом с поднятием расслабленных рук вперед и вверх, затем опустите руки через стороны вниз.

Putin wins again - NYPOST.com:

Rebuilding imperial Russia

Jeez, this guy is good.

A few years back, I wrote that Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was the most impressive major leader on today's world stage. Since then, he's gotten better.

Back then, he was eating President George W. Bush for breakfast. Now he's snacking on President Obama as sushi -- eating him raw, in happy little bites.

Putin's ruthless, unforgiving and murderous. He also has a clear vision of what he wants, the strength of will to get it -- and a stunning ability to spot the weaknesses in his foreign counterparts.

Putin's the Evil Empire's belated answer to President Ronald Reagan. Where the Gipper focused uncompromisingly on bringing down the Soviet imperium, Putin focuses uncompromisingly on restoring imperial Russia.

ReutersFostering trouble in our backyard: Putin (l.) being  honored by Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez, who's buying billions in arms  from Russia.
Reuters
Fostering trouble in our backyard: Putin (l.) being honored by Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez, who's buying billions in arms from Russia.

And he's making progress, as US leaders and their advisers bumble and stumble along with neither a clear strategic vision nor a rational sense of foreign-policy priorities.

Putin doesn't seem like a man much given to hilarity, but he must be laughing his butt off at our incompetence. Consider his strategic achievements in just the last few months:

* He cunningly let Obama bamboozle himself into a gotta-have-it-now Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that damages US conventional capabilities while Russia gives up only old junk it needed to dump anyway.

* He cut another arms deal with Hugo Chavez, selling the unstable Venezuelan 5 billion more bucks' worth of weapons -- on top of 4 billion already contracted. It's an unprecedented armament program for South America, supporting Chavez's bellicose "Bolivarian" goal of "re-uniting" Venezuela and Colombia.

* Putin finally got his pawn into power in Ukraine, erasing the westward orientation of yesteryear's Orange Revolution. Bringing Ukraine back inside Russia's borders remains Putin's top priority. He just took a giant step toward achieving it.

* Putin also drew Kazakhstan -- the keystone Central Asian state and a major energy supplier -- closer to Moscow.

* Last week, Putin supported the overthrow of the US-backed government of Kyrgyzstan, tightening his chokehold on our northern supply route into Afghanistan. The Obama administration was utterly blindsided ("Where's Kyrgyzstan?").

* The crash of an aircraft carrying Poland's fiercely anti-Russian president and his key advisers may have been just amazingly good luck on Putin's part, but it's the kind of luck to which we should pay attention. Russia's neighbors certainly have.

* Domestically, Putin continued extending his control over the economy and the media. (What, no protests from Western journalistic colleagues?) An artful sniper, not a clumsy bomber, he kills or imprisons when "necessary," but doesn't purge the Russian masses. (The only problem he hasn't been able to hammer down has been domestic Islamist terrorism -- where he meets his match in strength of will.)

* On Iran, Putin's a savvy old tomcat toying with the Obama mouse. While Moscow's overt, covert and clandestine trade with Tehran continues, Putin does his good-cop/bad-cop routine with President Dmitry Medvedev, keeping hope alive in the White House that, this time, Russia will finally back meaningful sanctions. Sarah Palin will sign on with Code Pink first.

Meanwhile, our president continues to play into Putin's hands. At this week's Nuclear Vanity Summit (which accomplished nothing), Obama snubbed Georgia's president, Mikhail Saakashvili. Putin will read that as license to renew his aggression against the struggling democracy in Tbilisi (first Kyrgyzstan, then Georgia?). Obama had time for Putin's Ukrainian puppet, President Viktor Yanukovych, though.

And all the while the administration's fighting Russia's drug war in Afghanistan while snoozing through the narco-bloodbath on our own southern border.

A major test for Obama comes this Sunday, when our president will pay our respects at the Krakow funeral of Poland's freedom-loving president. If Obama allows himself to be photographed smoking and joking with Putin or Medvedev at a Polish grave, it'll send a horrible signal throughout a region that only escaped Moscow's terror two decades ago.

Putin's certainly not a good man. But he is a great man -- perhaps the most capable national leader of our time. He's also a very dangerous man.

The really bad news? I can't spot a single potential president in either of our political parties who'd be a match for the guy.

It's heartbreaking when an old KGB hand consistently triumphs over the products of the mediocrity mills our moribund political parties have become.

Ralph Peters' new book is "Endless War."

EU ready to rethink Moldova
DAN ALEXE
Today @ 09:00 CET
In just 100 days, the new Moldovan government coalition has managed to unblock the country's relations with the EU and with its neighbour and sister country Romania.
Since the former pro-Moscow president Vladimir Voronin resigned from his job last September, Moldova, with strong suppport from Romania, last month started long-due negotiations for an Association Agreement with the EU. The EU will also provide Moldova with financial assistance, topping up funds by the International Monetary Fund.

Vlad Filat has brought the 'rethink Moldova' strategy to Brussels' attention (Photo: Wikipedia)
This would hardly have been imaginable a year ago, when Moldova was still just another ex-Soviet mini-dictatorship, a poor country of 3.5 million squeezed between Romania and Ukraine. Then, in April 2009, Moldova had its own "Twitter revolution". Violent incidents started in the capital, Chisinau, after Mr Voronin's Communists claimed victory in general elections.
The clashes between protesters - their numbers swelled after appeals on Facebook and Twitter - and the police left three people dead and many wounded. The result of the unrest, and popular anger over the alleged torture of protesters (at least one person died while in police custody), were new elections in June. An inconclusive outcome was followed by Mr Voronin's resignation in September.
Since then, the country has been ruled by a motley - but surprisingly functional - alliance of four pro-Western parties who are now enjoying much needed support international support. The new head of government, Vlad Filat, has successfully brought to Brussels's attention his coalition's strategy called "Rethink Moldova".
On 24 March, at a donors conference in Brussels, EU enlargement Commissioner Stefan Füle praised the new government's reform efforts, which were "carried out despite difficult internal and external conditions."
"These reforms," said Mr Füle, "will have our collective support."
The EU has stepped up its help to Moldova, one of the top recipients of funds under the European Neighbourhood Policy. The Western donors – the EU, the International Monetary Front, the World Bank, and individual countries such as the US and Japan- have pledged €1.9 billion, mostly as loans and non-returnable grants.
Out of the total pledges, €273 million will come from the EU, as grants over the period 2011-13, an increase of almost 75 percent over what Moldova previously received. The Commission will also send a team of experts to Chisinau and in June talks will start on a visa-free travel agreement.
The visa problem remains the most sensitive issue. Moldovans cannot travel freely to the EU, although it is estimated that around one million people, more than a quarter of the population, live and work abroad, most of them in Romania, Italy and Spain.
Many Moldovans are keen to obtain Romanian citizenship. Moldova was a Romanian province until occupied by the USSR at the end of World War II. Since then, during the Soviet times, but also after the break-up of the USSR, the successive Russian-backed Moldovan regimes have maintained the fiction of a separate Moldovan language.
Relations between the two Romanian-speaking countries had been tense since the coming to power of the Communists in Moldova in the year 2001.
But, in the framework of the "Rethink Moldova strategy", relations with Romania have steadily improved over the last months and the interim president, former speaker of the Parliament Mihai Ghimpu, has taken the unprecedented step of acknowledging publicly that Moldovans and Romanians share the same ethnic origin and speak the same language: Romanian.

Powerful New 3-Minute Exercise Improves Memory and Brain Power

Powerful New 3-Minute Exercise Improves Memory and Brain Power
By Paul Fassa / Source: Natural News
An unusual exercise to improve mental health and acuity has been going viral on the internet lately. It was featured in a Los Angeles CBS News report that has an MD, a Yale neurobiologist, an occupational therapist, educators, and parents endorsing it.

It is a simple routine, and it has created positive results for learning disabled and autistic children as well as older Alzheimer's victims.
And it's useful for any kind of brain fog or dullness, even emotional instability. It can improve memory and focus, and it's even made some a little smarter. It seems to work for everyone regardless of mental condition.
How to Do This Simple Exercise
With your feet pointing straight ahead, spread them apart about shoulder width. Grab your right earlobe with the thumb and finger of your left hand. Cross over your left arm and do the same using your right hand on the left earlobe. Then squat as fully as you can, breathing in. That's a little counter intuitive, but that's what you do. Breathe in as you squat.
Then breathe out as you stand. So the breathing needs to be synchronized with the squats. Continue this motion repetitively while holding both earlobes for three minutes. That may be too much at first, so start with one minute. One can go up to five minutes, but three is good enough. This can be done by anyone at any age and should be done on a daily basis until the fog lifts!
How It Works
Los Angeles physician Dr. Eric Robins says that the brain cells and neurons are energized with this simple exercise. He prescribes it to his patients and has had excellent results. One example of his is a youngster doing poorly in school. After being introduced to the exercise, that child went on to become an A student.
According to Yale neurobiologist Dr. Eugenius Ang, the earlobes grabbed are acupuncture points that stimulate neural pathways in the brain. The brain's hemispheres are in opposite sides of the earlobes. Using opposite hands for pinching the earlobes may have something to do with the way our subtle energies are arranged.
Ang showed that the results from EEG (electroencephalography) readings after doing this exercise indicate the right and left hemispheres of the brain had become synchronized. EEG readings measure the neuron firings in the brain via electrodes on the scalp, and are used to determine brain wave normalcies and abnormalities.
As Dr. Ang states, "... in modern terms, the brain is actually lateralized. This is an ideal hemispheric arrangement, which is unusual these days. It is something that pricey brain technology CDs attempt to do by producing subliminal sounds to the brain attached to audible sounds through a headset. Dr. Ang also does this exercise daily.
How It Started
The exercise was introduced by pranic healing Master Koa Chok Sui's book SuperBrain Yoga and taught by him personally on lecture tours. Of course, there are many other aspects of pranic healing that Master Sui taught.
Prana is another word for Chi, the subtle life force energy that surrounds and permeates the body. It is the stuff of acupuncture and Qi (Chi) Gong. In addition to the subtle energy aspects of prana or Chi, it seems that combining a mildly aerobic exercise also helps flood the brain cells with oxygen.
At any rate, it's an easy and inexpensive way to improve memory, mental clarity and focus, as well as assist those with debilitating mental disorders. There are those who call it quackery. But you'd be smart to do it daily!

ARTICLES.

Definition.
175. An article is a limiting word, not descriptive, which cannot be used alone, but always joins to a substantive word to denote a particular thing, or a group or class of things, or any individual of a group or class.
Kinds.
176. Articles are either definite or indefinite.
The is the definite article, since it points out a particular individual, or group, or class.
An or a is the indefinite article, because it refers to any one of a group or class of things.
An and a are different forms of the same word, the older ān.
Their origin.
177. The article the comes from an old demonstrative adjective (, sēo, ðat, later thē, thēo, that) which was also an article in Old English. In Middle English the became an article, and that remained a demonstrative adjective.
An or a came from the old numeral ān, meaning one.
Two relics.
Our expressions the one, the other, were formerly that one, that other; the latter is still preserved in the expression, in vulgar English, the tother. Not only this is kept in the Scotch dialect, but the former is used, these occurring as the tane, the tother, or the tane, the tither; for example,—
We ca' her sometimes the tane, sometimes the tother.—Scott.
An before vowel sounds, a before consonant sounds.
178. Ordinarily an is used before vowel sounds, and a before consonant sounds. Remember that a vowel sound does not necessarily mean beginning with a vowel, nor does consonant sound mean beginning with a consonant, because English spelling does not coincide closely with the sound of words. Examples: "a house," "an orange," "a European," "an honor," "a yelling crowd."
An with consonant sounds.
179. Many writers use an before h, even when not silent, when the word is not accented on the first syllable.
An historian, such as we have been attempting to describe, would indeed be an intellectual prodigy.—Macaulay.
The Persians were an heroic people like the Greeks.—Brewer.
He [Rip] evinced an hereditary disposition to attend to anything else but his business.—Irving.
An habitual submission of the understanding to mere events and images.—Coleridge.
An hereditary tenure of these offices.—Thomas Jefferson.

The 5 Rules of Happiness

The 5 Rules of Happiness



The 5 Rules of Happiness

By Burt Goldman/ Creator of Quantum Jumping

You know when you're happy, and certainly no one has to tell you when you're sad. But what is it that makes a person happy?

It is important to realize that what makes you happy might depress another person. There are people, because of guilt, a feeling they do not deserve what they have, or a feeling they will lose what they have that makes them unhappy when they should be happy.

Possessions are a poor measure of happiness. Possessions are subjective and relative to the individual and the individual's viewpoint. Instead, we will use a philosophy as an example.

This philosophy is about enjoying things you like, avoiding or changing things you do not like, and accepting what you cannot avoid or change by the skillful use of your viewpoint. The use of this philosophy, as embodied in the five rules, will allow you to test many problem areas in your life and find solutions. With this philosophy, you will be well on your way on your pursuit of happiness.

Rule Number One: If You Like a Thing, Enjoy It.

Now that seems outrageously simple. At first you might say, "That's ridiculous, of course if I like something I'm going to enjoy it." But when you stop to think about it you'll probably agree that there are many things in life that we like but don't enjoy. The reasons we don't enjoy things we like are (a) guilt, and (b) fear. You will not enjoy something you like if you feel guilty after having done the thing, or if you are fearful of the consequences of doing it.

Rule Number Two: If You Don't Like a Thing, Avoid It.

The second rule seems simple enough, but reflect for a moment on how many people are involved with things they do not like — a job, a person, a vehicle, a type of food, any one of a thousand things — and for some reason they don't avoid those things. "Well, I can't avoid it. I have to work there because I need the money." Or, "I have to be involved with this person for many valid reasons." How many justifications can you think of for not avoiding the things you do not like to do?

Rule Number Three: If You Don't Like a Thing, and You Cannot Avoid It, Change It.

Here again, the answer is simple: change it. But just as in avoidance we rationalize that we need something about it — the money, the time, the security — something is holding you to that particular thing if you don't like it, cannot avoid it, won't change it, but are still involved with it.

Rule Number Four: If You Don't Like a Thing, Cannot Avoid It, and Cannot or will Not Change It, Accept It.

Acceptance — now there is a catch. How can you accept something you don't like? How in the world do you accept something that is 'unacceptable'? How do you accept a situation that you're not happy with? How do you accept a person that you're not happy with? Well, you really don't have to accept anything; you can, of course, be unhappy. If you don't like it, won't change it, cannot avoid it, and will not accept it, I guarantee that you will be unhappy. There are, however, five rules to the secret of happiness, and within the fifth lies the key.

Rule Number Five: You Accept a Thing By Changing Your Attitude Towards It.

You are the result of your viewpoints and attitudes. Everything is relative to the person experiencing it. There are no absolutes — nothing is good, nothing bad, except as it relates to you. Nor is life good or bad. Life simply is. You change those things you wish by changing your viewpoint about them.

How easy!
How difficult!

Your attitudes and viewpoints are all part of your mind and once you develop the power of self mind control you will be the master of your own attitudes and viewpoints. Using these five rules you'll soon find yourself on the right path on the pursuit of happiness. You'll realize why people are unhappy. Eventually it will become automatic, and you'll find happiness a predominant state of mind. Once you realize the ease of acquiring this emotion, you develop an entirely new scale of highs and lows.

Unremitting happiness, of course, is not a possible or desirable state. According to the principle of rhythm, there is always an inflow and outflow, an ebb tide and a flood tide. You'll always have highs and lows — there's no way to avoid that. However, your highs will be higher and your lows will be higher. You'll then find that what is a happy state for you might be a state of depression for someone unaware of the Five Rules of Happiness.
