Natural And Effective Means Of Quitting Smoking {By: April Kerr}

Quitting smoking may in fact be the hardest thing you’ve ever decided to do. However, there is hope. Many people have spent thousands of dollars on stop smoking aids that don’t work. Now you can stop smoking naturally.

I’m sure many of you have tried hypnosis, acupuncture, zyban and likely many other stop smoking aids. Many of you have probably rushed out to get every new stop smoking aid you’ve heard of. I’ve been there. So you’ve tried everything else, why not try herbs to help you stop smoking.

Look at it this way, herbs are commonly used for cooking, medicinal purposes, for adding flavour, and even for making tea. Why not use them to stop smoking too. Let’s take a closer look at some of the herbs that are reported to help you stop smoking.

Lobelia is reported to be very effective in greatly reducing addiction to nicotine. Lobelia contains lobeline, which has many of the same calming effects of nicotine. It is also non-addictive, making for a good substitute for nicotine. However, it is a very toxic herb and excessive use can be harmful, so you should see your doctor or pharmacist before taking lobeline.

Have you ever heard of insomnia, nervousness and anxiety being described as side effects of quitting smoking. Well this next herb is used to treat those symptoms already. Therefore many researchers feel it will be an excellent tool to help people stop smoking. It is called Avena Sativa.

Smoking is reported to decrease the memory of smokers, and decrease the blood flow in the body. Well, Gotu Kola, also known as Centella Asiatica when taken in appropriate amounts helps to improve memory, and also to improve blood circulation throughout the body. Thus it helps to control the damaging effects of smoking.

Now for a herb that is reported to not only stifle ones natural desire to smoke, but also to fight the much dreaded side effect, weight gain. It’s true, these are qualities attributed to the herb known as Garcinia Cambogia.

A few other herbs that have been said to help people stop smoking are Goldenseal, oak, willow, and Korean Ginseng. Korean Ginseng probably isn’t that unfamiliar of a name to you, and it’s natural stress relieving properties make it an excellent ally. Another one that will knock your socks off, is catnip. Yes I said catnip, we’ll probably see smokers around the world fighting their cats for the catnip, but hey if it works, why not!!

An important type of herb to include in your attempt to quit smoking is one to get rid of the toxins in the blood. Burdock root and Red clover are excellent examples of herbs that are known to have this quality.

Fashion Week 2009 {By: Erika Chloe}

It is fall fashion week in NYC and behind all the glitz, celebrities and drama, there was a lot of work to be done on my end. As you may already know, I own and operate a Fashion Consultant firm called My Image Expert www.MyImageExpert.com. I am also responsible for a custom couture fashion collection that I both design and produce in New York City. That said, sometimes I am called upon by other designers (much bigger then myself – literally) to fulfill last minute designs. Since my clothing collection is made locally, you can imagine all the calls I received for fashion week regarding last minute requests. Now that the week is just about over, I can finally settle in an share my thoughts about an incident that occurred a few days ago.

I was invited to be a guest blogger on a fashion related web site, much like this one. With the exchange of several e-mails, one of the contributors asked me to name my favorite trends for Summer/Spring 09. Anybody that knows me, knows I tend to over analyze things and it usually doesnt take much to get my wheels spinning. After the smoke cleared, I decided to share my thoughts regarding Summer and Spring trends for 2009 with the fashion network.

Spring/Summer 09 will be very a very interesting time for fashion. Fashion designers gather inspiration for their collection up to two years ahead of time. This includes the entire process from inception to completion. Inception includes the original concept for the garment including: color, fabric and style details that are usually represented in sketch form. Completion includes the delivery date that these garments are actually shipped the vendor or store supplier for retail. At this time, the consumer can actually buy and wear the garment.

Spring/Summer 09 trends were forecast several months before Spring/Summer 08! So in theory, the trends were created just before the majority of the credit crunch hit retail stores and consumers. By now, everyone knows that retail sales continue to take a beating due to the current condition of the economy. This beating has directly affected the designers and the companies they work for. Most of these companies manufacturer their own garments once the concepts, details, and samples are designed. The department store buyer will look at these manufactured samples and decide if they want to carry them in their stores. As we speak, buyers are working with designers and manufacturer samples for Spring/Summer 2010.

With that being said, this years Spring/Summer 09 trends, that are already available to consumers in retail stores, do not reflect the current credit crunch that has affected our economy. When the economy is bad, fashion trends tend to reveal the ramifications. Colors start to inherit neutral and basic tones like: brown, grey, cream and navy. This is because fashion colors (the trendy colors of the moment) are more expensive to manufacturer. In a bad economy, fabrics become less feminine and luxurious. Manufacturers use basic blends of cotton, wool and silk while avoiding intricate details like embellishments, sequins, leather, glitter and flaps. This helps to lower the overall price that a consumer will pay for such a garment. Hemlines tend to shrink in a bad economy. The mini skirt was first developed and designed by Mary Quant in the 1960’s while in the midst of an economic recession. Less fabric is cheaper and lets face it, a mini skirt leaves little to the imagination!

This will be the first time in history when being fashionable is out of fashion! The collections that walked down the runway in September’s Spring Fashion week were not designed for the frugal female or an economy on the verge of a recession. They were designed and created for the luxurious lady who loves to splurge on novelty items. When Spring 09 hits the stores many months after fashion week, people will simply pass up the designer brands and head to discount stores to buy what they can afford.

By now, my reply to your requirement is a bit extensive. I have to stop myself as I could go on for hours! I have decided to list my favorite trends in a more effective way that seems reasonable due to the economy and my above acclamations. It is possible to spend less and look the best! Many high-end designers have developed collections for discount stores like Target, H&M, and Payless. The best part about it is that no one ever has to know where you got it from! Here a few of my favorite high-end designers offering exclusive trendy and affordable collections. The trend for Spring/Summer 09 is to have the designers runway look at a fraction of the cost.

Botkier – purses, clutches, and wristlets normally found in high end department stores for $400-$800.00 available at Target for $50.00

Richard Thai ” a regular style innovator at New York Fashion Week best known for his silk dyed garments! His dresses, skirts, and blouses are available for a limited time at Target for $13-$80.00. A Thai dress regular sells for $800.00

Alice + Olivia ” a trendy womens wear brand in high-end department stores has released an exclusive collection for Payless Shoes! It will only be a matter of time before design garments for Target ” Shh! Alice + Olivia shoes and garments usually range from $200-400.00. Payless has the new line for about $40.00

If you would like to include some of your favorite trends, I would love to hear about them – especially if they are outside the box. In the meant time, stay unique!

Cancer Cure Is Reduced By Holding On To Negative Thoughts {By: Rita Goldman}

Negative Thoughts and Cancer Cure

The problem with most people in life is the fact that they harbor negative thoughts, in fact most of us at some time or another are holding first class tickets to the idea that we are not worthy of…whatever it is we dream about.

However what we fail to realize is that with the correct mindset, we can actually achieve anything. It takes just thirty days to make a habit, not necessarily a good habit, just a habit. So for instance if you stop walking daily then after thirty days you no longer exercise period. It has become easier not to do something.

Unfortunately that is a luxury not acceptable to cancer survivors, what makes the difference between people who survive cancer and people who do not is their mindset. To do that, you have to be in control and to be in control you have to be clear in deciding what it is you want.

Precisely what that is, is of course up to you, it cannot be dictated by your friends, your family or your partner. When you have been diagnosed with cancer it is imperative that you take action, despite being plagued with self doubts, anxieties and fears you need to strengthen yourself. Unfortunately your cancer has not grown overnight and it will not go into remission overnight, ahead of you have some very, very tough choices to make. This is one time in your life when you have to take control.

Once you have made your choices you need the support of everyone and anyone whom you can enlist. Surround yourself with positive people, do not get bogged down with negative energies, now is not the time. For most of our lives we can drift and we can put things off, we all have our dreams, but there is a big difference in having dreams and making those dreams a concrete reality.

What often stands in the way of ordinary everyday human beings is the inability to say NO . Babies learn to say it very early on in life, but somehow most adults cant utter it. Before saying no, think it over if you want to say yes to, what is truly important to you, and by that it had better be something that you really want because your life may depend on it.

Many of us have full lives with family commitments, work commitments, a network of friends, but there is not necessarily room for all of these things when you have just been diagnosed with cancer. Make room in your life for what is important in your life; if you have decided to do whatever it takes to survive then make sure that you can do so. Believe in yourself and your worth and make the time to do what it takes, even if that means major rescheduling. Rest, diet health is all important but statistically those that you use others intelligently are more likely to survive cancer. Work out where you are now and where you want to be because no one else can do it for you.

Solar Panels on Traffic Signs Help save Lives with Flashing LED Lights {By: admin}

Solar panel stop signs along with other solar panels attached to various traffic signs have been proven in various research studies to save lives, especially in areas where four corner stop signs are used and heavy traffic with distracted drivers are prevalent.

Distracted drivers could mean anything from a driver with a van full of children to someone alone in their thoughts and not paying attention to the road signs.  Countless people jump on the highway and began driving to work or home and the next thing they know, they are at their destination.  Some experts call this ‘highway hypnosis’ in which the driver ‘tunes out’ their surroundings.  To prevent this ‘zoning out’ the driver may have solar panel installation with LED flashing light in either red, yellow or orange in order to help drivers bring your attention to the traffic signs so they may do what the signs are asking them to do.

Solar paneled street signs help to save lives especially on the highways where workers are walking around speeding cars which can be a dangerous combination.  The flashing LED lights on the solar panel street signs help drivers slow down and become more aware of their surroundings.

Choosing to use solar paneled street signs instead of the gas power or generator powered street signs saves a highway department and street department thousands of dollars each year in utility bills. Besides saving money, solar powered street signs save on toxic gas put forth by the generators and there is no need for a long electrical cord that could be hazardous to employees or others visiting the worksite.

The sun’s solar energy heats up the solar panel which generates the flashing LED lights which in turn attracts the attention of the drivers so they may heed the warnings of the traffic signs and makes many highways and streets safer for everyone.

Solar powered traffic signs come in a variety of shapes and sizes just as regular traffic signs do; there are solar powered stop signs, directional signs, railroad crossing signs, slow signs, watch your speed sign digital speed limit signs.

Can You Get Bad Breath Because You Are On A Diet? {By: Jayjay Bagiu}

More often people are more concerned about their figures rather than any other health issues in their body. That is the reason why they indulge into various diet plans just to make sure if it is going to work or not, even if this can be very challenging. One can encounter various side effects because of these diet plans like weakness, dizziness and more often stomach cramps. However, are you aware of bad breath diet? Ordinarily, the diets that most of us indulge to results to bad breath, and it can be somewhat aggravating.

If you are on a diet which lacks that much carbohydrate in the menu, then you probably will encounter this unpleasant problem. The body usually is in need of converting energy through the food that we eat.

Now since our body process involves the conversion of energy and carbohydrates is one of the main components involved in the process, the body uses substitute components to convert such as proteins and fats which when converted, may produce chemicals such as ketones. Ketones are known to be responsible for that unpleasant odor that can either be noticeable as you exhale air coming out from your body, or may be a noticeable foul odor in any other part of your body.

This could be very alarming to those who are on a low carb diet, and at the same time, exercising their way through to firm up those muscles and lose weight. Since they need to shed off those pounds, they would have to religiously follow their low carb diet.

While on the other hand, they are also required to perform regular exercises to cut down the fats and firm the muscles, so they would have to replenish the lost proteins through taking in food with high protein content. In this continuous scenario, the ketones would then be produced. Then after, it will be released to the body, which would eventually result to a release of that unusual smell we call bad breath.

These are the type of diets which may help you look slimmer than ever, but it can also contribute to that embarrassing smell if you are going to continue to indulge on the same diet plan. As a temporary remedy to the problem, you may have to keep track of your oral hygiene on a daily basis.

However, this is something that you cannot avoid while on diet because this is the response given by your body for having an unbalanced type of diet. You should also keep in mind that food definitely plays an essential role when it comes to acquiring bad breath. If you continuously take in food that may cause your body to release this foul smell, then the greater chances of you having the difficulty in resolving the problem.

However, all you have to do is to reflect deeply if this really is what you want, and if the dieting is worth all the hard work. The connection between the food that you eat and bad breath is more on the effects that it can cause to your body. You have to consider the possibility that if you continue with the diet, you will be suffering from bad breath, is it worth it? If your answer to this is No, then you probably have to look for another alternative from that bad breath diet you have.

Is LASIK The Best Choice For You? {By: Stacy Davis}

Poking yourself in the eye is just plain awful. For the unfortunate majority who are cursed with less than perfect vision this is an everyday occurance that comes with contact lenses. From forgetting to take them out before bed to getting one lost behind an eyelid, contacts can be very inconvenient. Is there another way?

Corrective eye surgery is an opportunity that many people began turning to the minute it made its debut to the general public. It might look like this procedure would call for a lengthy healing time, but the procedure is typically completed in a simple outpatient visit. The surgery is conducted by removing some tissue from the cornea so as to reshape, and consequently eliminating the need for contacts or glasses.

LASIK, laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, or laser eye surgery seems like a good idea to all fellow lens wearers, but is it reliable? While it’s rare that you will be permanently blinded from the procedure, laser eye surgery carries with it the risk of complications. Dry eyes are the most common problem reported by patients and, in most cases, can easily be cured or treated.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage, or the presense of blood under the clear layer of tissue covering the eyeball, is a common post-operation side-effect. While it may look frightening to have bright red blood streaking through your eye tissue, the bleeding is not painful and disappears on its own. Other possible side-effects include floaters in your vision, under or over-correction, rings around lights or scar tissue beneath the incision.

On the other hand can be prevented or treated. Candidates for surgery need to have steady eye health for at least two years before surgery. LASIK can be performed on anyone over 18, most patients are advised to wait until they’re in their mid-twenties before seeking treatment. Eye health tends to changing at this age and it is safer to wait until this point.

The most crucial phase for anyone thinking about eye surgery is looking for the right doctor. The eye is a delicate and precious organ and should be treated with care and respect. So finding the best doctor to perform your LASIK procedure is crucial.

The greatest way to find the best LASIK surgeon is to ask people closest to you: family and friends. A doctor who is both capable and consistent in results will have crafted a reputation with his or her patient-base. At the same time, be sure to choose a doctor that is a good personality match. A doctor who has had at least 1,000 successful surgeries and monitors your progress from beginning to end would be the best choice.

If you feel that glasses or contacts no longer fit into your busy lifestyle, it is time to look into other options. You may be all set for a life without contacts and glasses. Make sure to do the necessary research and be cautious and you just might end up with a new lease on life.

Commuting from Tiburon to San Francisco ” Several Choices are Offered {By: Dave DuPont}

There are a few different of ways to commute from Tiburon to San Francisco. These include bus, bicycle, ferry and, of course, your car. One of the most impressive sights when travelling between Marin County and San Francisco is the truly spectacular Golden Gate Bridge. Interestingly, when the bridge was built in 1937, it cost $35 million and was financed completely with bonds issued by the Bank of America.

To most Californians, driving a car is the most agreeable option because one’s travel plans for the day might be more than the actual commute. Maybe a lunch date, or a trip to the gym, and a business meeting are part of your plans for most days. Often, these can be made by taxi or public transportation, such as the bus or a more enjoyable cable car!

According to Motorvista.com, the 2000 Census figures provided information that 84% of all commuters in Tiburon ride in a car and those who commute from Tiburon typically spend thirty to thirty-four minutes getting to work. Its fascinating that, of the estimated 4,179 workers living in Tiburon, an amazing 86% drove to work alone; consequently, they couldnt travel in the HOV lane to shorten their drive. Nowadays, some owners of hybrid vehicles may travel in the HOV lanes. FastTrak devices make the trip over the Golden Gate Bridge go faster. When your account runs out, it is replenished automatically from your credit card.

Except for a trip in a chauffeured limo, the Golden Gate Transit offers a much more attractive option ” not driving, but instead being driven in an air-conditioned bus. While not especially glamorous, these conveyances have restrooms aboard and are quite dependable.

From Monday through Friday, Golden Gate Transit provides two buses from Tiburon & Main to 8th & Folsom in San Francisco. The first one departs Tiburon at 6:32 am and arrives in San Francisco at 7:36 am and the second one departs at 7:23 am and arrives at 8:34 am. Perhaps the only worry you might have during the heavy part of rush hour is whether you’ll be able to find a seat. To find the schedules, simply Google Golden Gate Transit.

Some would argue that the ferry is the most pleasant way to go. Tiburon is served by the Blue and Gold Fleet. The ferry sails to the San Francisco Financial District via San Francisco Bay. The trip takes about 15-20 minutes and is quite enjoyable. There is coffee service in the morning and cocktails in the evening.

The Embarcadero ferry terminal (for Tiburon) is adjacent to the North end of the Ferry Building with the large clock tower. The line for the Tiburon boat forms on the gangway inside the metal doors. The key is to get on the boat with the “Tiburon” placard, usually the M.V. Zelinsky. (Information courtesy of Boat Etiquette)

For those adventurous and enterprising Tiburon bicyclists, the trip to the San Francisco Financial District can take less time if you are an aggressive cyclist. A detailed map of the bike path of the 22.3 mile trip is available on the Web site www.bikely.com. But, remember, safety comes first!

Compare Credit Cards To Get The Best Deal {By: Andy Zain}

One thing is sure about credit cards, they can get you into trouble. If you don’t compare credit cards you will not find the best deal. Not finding the best deal may have you facing high interest rates and annual fees that you could have avoided.

The offers you get though will also depend on whether your credit is good or bad. For unsecured offers your credit will need to be exceptional. That’s where you’ll have the best chances for the lowest interest rates too. But even with bad credit you can compare credit cards and get good offers.

Secured or unsecured credit cards may have listed in fine print whether you are having a credit card where your interest rate will stay or increase. Just because an offer says that you will have a low rate that doesn’t mean it may not go up in a few months. A lot of companies will do this in order to pull in people.

Annual rates are charged on many cards, and that will normally be printed inside the fine print also. That’s why you need to compare credit cards and get one that doesn’t charge annual fees or has a smaller charge. Annual fees can become a bit of a hassle, but if you can’t find a card that offers no annual membership fees, you may need to settle for the lower fees.

With secured credit cards you will need to compare if you will have any type of processing fee that will be charged to you. Secured cards will normally require some sort of payment from you to have on an account, say as an example $150. But many times you will also be required to pay a onetime fee known as a processing fee. These fees may even be up to $150, so instead of only $150 being taken from your account a total of $300 will be removed.

Not all processing fees are a large amount, and when you compare credit cards you may be able to cut down the fee you pay. Instead of $150 maybe you can find one that is only $50. That’s a lot of money to be saved by comparing your offers.

Also read and compare credit cards so that you know whether you will have an annual fee or not. Many cards may or may charge you this fee. But if you know ahead of time when a charge like this is coming you can prepare for it. With a secured card you may think that it’s wise to only make the minimum payment. But when you’re trying to reestablish your credit it won’t really matter. So if you have a higher interest rate you may just want to pay the full amount off instead.

Keep Skin Healthy With Colorescience {By: Lynn Lopez}

How many makeup companies do you know are actually deeply interested in making sure that people’s skin remain healthy and well protected? Many makeup products these days still aim to just highlight and enhance a person’s natural beauty. That’s a perfectly reasonable goal, of course, but really, companies should look beyond simply providing beauty and should also keep in mind the health and well-being of individuals. Tall order for a makeup company, probably, but it can be done. After all, Colorescience is doing it.

Colorescience was established in 1977 as an offshoot of Bare Escentuals, the brain child of Diane Ranger and the pioneer of the mineral makeup industry. Colorescience takes pride in being a makeup company that offers products without any harmful chemicals, substances, dyes, oils, and perfumes, and has consistently been involved in promoting skin health. Hand in hand with its mission in becoming a top luxury aesthetic makeup line is its goal to improve its customers’ skin conditions and also play a role in diminishing skin cancer, cementing its reputation as one of the strongest names in the medical makeup industry.

“Medicine” and “makeup” hardly seem like terms that could work together, but Colorescience has been making it possible over the decades with its line of makeup that boasts sun protection properties. Overexposure to the sun’s harmful rays is one of the main causes of skin cancer, and this is what Colorescience is seeking to combat with its sunscreen-enriched makeup line. Its SPF-rated products have been shown to block UVA and UVB rays, and their water-resistant qualities also make sure that they stay on your face and skin longer. Colorescience’s mineral makeup also contains micronized titanium dioxide and micronized zinc oxide, both of which provide exceptional sun protection by allowing light to pass through to the skin and prevent harmful rays from penetrating at the same time.

Colorscience’s sun protection line consists of several products, including the Sunforgettable Sun Salve with SPF 30 which provides protection to the lips, keeping it cool with the help of spearmint, and containing cocoa butter, jojoba oil, shea butter, and mango butter to keep the lips wonderfully moisturized. The Sunforgettable SPF 30 Shaker Can allows you to directly apply protection to your skin and can be used on your face, neck, and shoulders. You can also give yourself a full-body sun protection with the Sunforgettable SPF 30 Rock and Roller, which you can apply all over your body using the convenient roll-on container.

These products are just a few of the sun protection-enriched items offered by Colorescience. Don’t be deceived by their dainty packaging; these are powerful enough to combat skin problems and support Colorescience’s goal to keep people’s skin healthy.

How To Avoid The Stress Of Stretch? {By: Kim T Carter}

Stretch marks are a normal part of puberty for most girls and guys. When a person grows or gains weight really quickly (like during puberty), that person may get fine lines on the body called stretch marks. Stretch marks happen when the skin is pulled by rapid growth or stretching. Although the skin is usually fairly elastic, when it’s overstretched, the normal production of collagen (the major protein that makes up the connective tissue in your skin) is disrupted. As a result, scars called stretch marks may form.

If you’re noticing stretch marks on your body, you’re not alone. Most girls and women have stretch marks, which tend to show up on the breasts, thighs, hips, and butt. Many women get them during pregnancy. And while they’re more common in girls, guys can get stretch marks, too.

People who are obese often have stretch marks. Bodybuilders and obese people are prone to getting stretch marks because of the rapid body changes that bodybuilding can produce. Stretch marks also may occur if a person uses steroid-containing skin creams or ointments (such as hydrocortisone) for more than a few weeks, or has to take high doses of oral corticosteroids for months or longer.

Making Them Less Noticeable

Here are some things to consider if you want to make stretch marks less noticeable:

Sunless tanning may be an interesting way out for a few people. This doesn’t work for regular tanning or tanning beds, though, because stretch marks themselves are less likely to tan. And as everyone knows, the sun and tanning beds do more harm than good when it comes to the long-term health of your skin.

You also can buy body makeup matched to the tone of your skin that can make stretch marks all but invisible. Although some manufacturers make these cover-up products water-resistant, makeup may not be the best solution if you’ll be spending a lot of time in the water.

Although there are tons of creams and other skin products on the market that claim to eliminate stretch marks, the truth is that most are ineffective and often costly.

These doctors may use one of many types of treatments ” from actual surgery to techniques such as microdermabrasion and laser treatment ” that reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

A Guide to Managing Nummular Eczema {By: Kim Archer}

The majority of individuals understand that eczema can be a hereditary disease, one that touches many folks in the same family. The other reasons for this skin problem can comprise an excessive amount of tension in your life, contact with particular substances, and allergic reactions to other substances. As it concerns nummular eczema, the triggers are much the same. On the other hand, the symptoms are often quite different.

The word nummular comes from a Latin term meaning a small coin. And that is precisely how nummular eczema manifests itself, in the form and size of a small coin. The medical disorder is connected to difficulties associated with allergic reactions that produce the formation of irritating and sore patches on the skin. Generally, these patches turn up on the buttocks, back, lower legs and arms. The impacted areas can begin to leak and crust over, and they are exceptionally scratchy.

Nummular eczema is a persistent type of the disease that can recur regularly. It isn’t one of the more frequent forms though, and it tends to involve elderly males most frequently. It is sometimes the effect of exposure to allergic substances and other irritants in your direct environment and can also be caused by fluctuating temperatures. Additionally, anxiety can make an existing problem still more annoying. Notwithstanding these hints to the reason for this health condition, the true underlying explanation has not yet been established.

Normally, the symptoms include itchiness and the development of skin lesions in the shape of small coins. These patches can become peeling, red and inflamed. The ailment is most easily identified by the emergence of such patches on the skin. Your doctor should take a thorough family history to see if others in your family line are experiencing the disease, which is one more sign of the disease. Skin biopsies can be done in order to eliminate the possibility of other causes of the situation.

The treatment of nummular eczema will be directed at the need for immediate relief from the problems. The irritation and itchiness can be highly painful. Sometimes your health care provider will prescribe topical creams and ointments that contain steroids, which are generally highly helpful. You will also need to make use of a heavy moisturizing cream or lotion to keep your skin moist, and make sure the soap you use is mild and unscented. The application of a damp bandage can often give you some relief from your distress.

If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers.
