There were days when no clues were available for maintaining your hair. Now you will be going through the facts and tips for better hair care:

Heat has to be decreased

It is a general practice to use blow dryers to dry the hair. By allowing it to dry naturally you give a break from the heat, in other words you are reducing the potential damage heat can do to your hair. The resultant effect of this hot air is dryness and breakage to your hair. The hotter the dryer the more breakage will occur to your hair. It is always better to set the temperature of the hair dryer blower to the lowest. This will help to keep your hair healthy.

Flyaway Hair

This is common where there is low humidity and dry climate. Static electricity and having rough hair cuticles at the outer layer of the hair cause this 'Flyaway'. By moisturizing the hair through the use of an alcohol-free hair conditioner this 'Flyaway' can be further decreased.

Your Hair Vs Crash Dieting

Yet another reason for your hair loss is severe dieting. Avoid crash diets because they can lead to significant hair loss. A sensible way for reducing the weight is by increasing the exercise levels and reducing the calorie intake.

Arrest the Hairline pimples

You have to prevent the breakouts on hairline by keeping the hair care products away from your scalp and secondly by wearing a baseball cap or a clean hat that is not very tight to trap the dirt and sweat.

Good Bye to Dandruff!

The general cause for the dandruff is an increase in Pityrosporum yeast that is a normal inhabitant of the skin. The other causes are:

Oiliness of your skin

Stress

Heavy drinking

Certain drugs

Different types of medicated shampoos could be used daily or 2-3 times a week by leaving it on the scalp ideally for 5 minutes.

Grey Hair

As we become old our hair turns grey because the cells at the root of the hair produce less melanin which is the cause for the pigmentation. This is a slow process and usually occurs between the ages 30 and 60.

Sudden Hair Loss

If you suddenly start loosing a lot of hair it could be a symptom of illness. Rush to the doctor to have a thorough check up.

All about my Hair!

You will be surprised to know that 13% of your hair is made up of water. When it becomes dry it looses its ability to stretch and breaks off. By trying moisturizing shampoos and hair conditioners this could be controlled to a certain extent.

It's only Hair - Do not boil it!

When you use heating tongs or the hair dryer on damp hair keep them away at least 12 inches from your hair so that you will not boil the water in the hair shaft.

Asking what makes a car super is like asking, what makes a woman beautiful - everyone has its own opinion.

A term supercar was coined to describe extremely expensive, extremely beautiful and extremely fast cars. But the proper use of this term is often subjective and disputed, especially among enthusiasts. There is no clear definition of what characteristics a car must have to be a supercar. What constitutes a supercar is often a matter of opinion. Also, the use of the term is heavily dependent on the era - a car that is considered to be a supercar at one time may lose its superiority in the future.

It is also important to know that the term refers to factory-built, usually unmodified, street-legal cars. Heavily modified and potentially street - illegal vehicles do not fall into the supercar category. Supercars are not muscle cars or tuned up sports cars. And there is no such thing as a cut price supercar.

A supercar is a car that combines speed, handling, unique design and represents the pinnacle of the automaker's art. It is the car equivalent of a supermodel or a race horse. There are, off course, some basic criteria for measuring whether a car should be considered a supercar or not. Things to consider: design, acceleration, top speed, handling, power-to-weight ratio, style, rarity, price all of these has to be super in a supercar.

Want an example? Here is a prime example - The Bugatti Veyron.

The Bugatti Veyron is currently (2007) the most expensive (around $1.5 million) and fastest fully street legal car in the world. The Guinness Book of World Records included Bugatti Veyron under the heading - Fastest Production Car. With 1001 horsepower this supercar champion features all the most recent automotive advancements and is able to achieve a top speed of 253 mph (407km/h). This is faster than any production car ever made, it's actually faster than Formula 1 cars. Supercars are not just fast, they are blazingly fast.

Other supercars include: Koenigsegg CCX, Pagani Zonda, McLaren F1, Saleen S7 Twin Turbo, Enzo Ferrari, Lamborghini Murcielago and so on.

On the fun side, if you ever doubt whether a car is a supercar or not, consider this:

A car might be a supercar if:

• you have a wallpaper or a poster of it
• it's worth more than your house
• you drool when you see one
• it can break the speed limit in 1st gear
• you will probably never own one,
• but if you do, you would never give the keys to the valet.

In conclusion, a supercar is a car that changes your idea of what a car is and what a car can do.

When one considers learning and study, one should always keep in mind that there are three aspects that are of importance:

STUDY SKILLS:

The ability of any learner to study successfully depends to a great extent on his fundamental study skills, i.e. his ability to concentrate, to perceive correctly and accurately, as well as the ability to remember what has been perceived.

Study skills should not be confused with study techniques and study methods. The difference between these can be explained by using the game of soccer as example. In order to be a soccer player, a person FIRST has to master the fundamental soccer skills, e.g. passing, heading, and dribbling the ball. Only after that can he be taught techniques and methods. In the same way, in order to be a good student, a learner FIRST has to master the fundamental study skills.

Mnemonics training is often done without keeping this sequential fashion of learning in mind. A mnemonic is a specific reconstruction of target content intended to tie new information more closely to the learner's existing knowledge base and, therefore, facilitate retrieval. There are a variety of mnemonic techniques, including keywords, pegwords, acronyms, loci methods, spelling mnemonics, phonetic mnemonics, number-sound mnemonics, and Japanese Yodai methods. An example of an acronym is to remember the word HOMES to recall the names of the Great Lakes: Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. The purpose of number-sound mnemonics is to recall strings of numbers, such as telephone numbers, addresses, locker combinations or historical dates. To use them, learners must first learn the number-sound relationships: 0=s; 1=t; 2=n; 3=m; 4=r; 5=l; 6=sh, ch, or soft g, 7=k, hard c, or hard g; 8=f or v; and 9=p. To remember the date 1439, for example, the learner uses the associated consonant sounds, t, r, m and p, and will insert vowels to create a meaningful word or words. In this case, the word tramp can be used.

There are, however, at least two problems in improving memory by means of mnemonic instruction. The first problem is -- as already stated -- that it overlooks the sequential fashion of learning. Mnemonics instruction is, to a large extent, instruction in memory techniques, which should be taught only AFTER the skill of memory has been learned. It can be compared to a person being taught soccer tactics, such as the wall pass, while he has not yet adequately mastered the skill of passing the ball. As stated in Knowabout Soccer, No matter how good your passing technique, if the quality of your passing is poor, your technique will not be effective. The second problem is that by teaching memory crutches only, the result is, as stated by Scruggs and Mastropieri, on more complex applications, generalization attempts [are] less successful. If the SKILL of memory is taught, however, the learner can apply it in any situation.

STUDY TECHNIQUES:

There are three learning techniques that can be employed to make study more successful.

1. Association: This is probably the most important and most effective of all the learning techniques, of which mnemonics is probably the most commonly used association technique.

2. Thinking in pictures: One is able to remember much better what has been seen in the mind's eye than what has been thought in abstract terms. Therefore, one should always consciously try to think in terms of pictures.

3. Reduce frequency of brain waves: The brain usually vibrates at 20 cycles per second or higher. Dr. Georgi Lozanov was probably the first who discovered that, if the frequency of the brain waves is reduced, more effective study becomes possible. He found that playing slow Baroque music could reduce the frequency of brain waves. Jos Silva was probably the first who discovered a method to reduce the frequency of brain waves at will.

STUDY METHODS:

Most learners have the bad habit of only studying the day before a test or exam. There are two serious disadvantages attached to this method of study:

1. There is never any regular practice of study skills.

2. It has been found that within 24 hours -- on an average -- one forgets up to 80% of what one has learned. If, however, the study material is reviewed after 24 hours, it takes 7 days before 80% is forgotten again, and if another review is done at this point, then it takes 30 days to forget 80% again.

Research has shown that, if the correct pattern or review of studied material is followed, memory consolidation is enhanced significantly, and the overall time spent in learning is slashed dramatically. The following pattern of initial study and subsequent review will certainly deliver excellent results:

1. Set up a timetable that is divided in study periods of 30 minutes each. On the first day on which this new timetable will be implemented, take the first study period to learn some study material thoroughly. It must be brief enough so that it can be absorbed in only about 15 minutes. Once the full study program is in operation, as you will soon realize when you read further, one only has about 15 minutes in each study period of 30 minutes in which to study and absorb new material. The rest of the time is spent on reviewing previously learned material. The piece of work must be summarized and thoroughly studied in these 30 minutes. Take a rest of 5 minutes at the end of the study period.

2. Review after 5 minutes. Take 3 minutes of the next study period to review the study material of the previous study period, before new material is again summarized and thoroughly studied.

3. Review after 24 hours. Take 3 minutes to review the material that was studied the previous day. Then take 3 minutes to review the work that was studied 5 minutes ago, before again studying and summarizing new material.

4. Review after 7 days. Take 3 minutes to review the work that was reviewed 7 days ago, before reviewing the work that was studied the day before, and then reviewing the work that was studied 5 minutes ago.

5. Review after 30 days. Take 3 minutes to review the work that was already reviewed 30 days ago, before reviewing the work of 7 days ago, then that of 24 hours ago, and then that of 5 minutes ago.

6. Review after 120 days. Take 3 minutes to review the work that was studied 120 days ago, then the work that was studied 30 days ago, before reviewing the work of 7 days ago, then that of 24 hours ago, and then that of 5 minutes ago.
