Ear Gauging and More!

advertisements

In the last decade, body piercing has become more and more popular. Some would say it's an art, much like tattooing, and your body is the canvas. But for many it's therapeutic as well as a fashion statement. In certain cases, people can have twenty to thirty, or more piercings. America, a hundred years ago, this wouldn't be acceptable, but today it's considered a way of expressing your uniqueness and individuality. If there's a body part you want pierced, you can find someplace to do it, regardless of how crazy it is. In fact the more unusual the location of the piercing the more you get noticed.

One of the most popular body parts for piercing would be the ear. Whether your 2 years old, or 50 years old, pierced ears is one of the more acceptable location for a piercing. But many in the younger generations, have taken ear piercing to a new level by "gauging". And for those who don't know this is basically making the hole bigger, so you can wear thicker gauges body jewelry. All piercing rings have a gauge, obviously. Gauge is merely a size, and the standard for ear gauges is 16-18. And from there, the lower the number the bigger the size.

Gauging Ears

An ear gauge of 10 is the biggest you will be able to pierce it, and not everywhere will do it that large initially. The best way of going to a larger size is consulting a professional about tapering. This is a gradual and less harmful way of stretching your ear gauges. By then you will be able to wear sizes of ear gauges anywhere from 10 - 0000. But usually in the mall the largest you will be able to find is 00 which translates to approximately 3/8 of an inch. So if you plan on going to the bigger sizes, be prepared to have to visit a piercing shop, and possibly look around online for the right size.

But don't get me wrong, ears gauges aren't the only place you can make bigger. In fact, there are many places for gauges body jewelry. Whether it's labrets or eyebrows people will gauges body jewelry on their body. Although, if you plan on gauging the more unusual body piercings it's recommended not to go any bigger than 10, for cosmetic reasons. But then again, many thought ear gauges were weird but now its widely accepted. (Usually amongst those who are considered "gothic" or "punk".) Remember, if this is something your considering be sure to take the proper precautions as well as consulting a professional who is experienced in gauges body jewelry.

Tongue Piercing Aftercare - 13 Tips To Prevent Infection

advertisements

Tongue piercing has become extremely popular nowadays for quite a number of reasons which include pleasure enhancement, shock value and social appearances. If you desire to get your tongue pierced it is worth noting that you must do your research before doing so.

There are several important factors those that must be taken into account before getting your tongue pierced. Before you even step foot into the piercing shop you must have substantial knowledge about the aftercare that you will need to perform.

Gauging Ears

Here are a few tips that would make your piercing easier for you and get yourself healed up within the minimum possible time.

1. Primarily the most important factor in tongue piercing is that you must always get it done by a certified piercing professional since it reduces the risk by a great extent.

2. Since the tongue has one of the toughest muscles in your body there may be a little pain involved in tongue piercing procedure. You are advised to remain well prepared for that during the procedure and not to become unnecessarily paranoid because of the pain. Extraordinary stress and tension in such a case may make it hurt more.

3. In order to avoid infections make sure to use a clean and hygienic barbell while piercing your tongue.

4. Use long barbells as the tongue may get swollen after the piercing procedure. A long barbell always helps to accommodate the swelling.

5. For tongue piercing aftercare it is advisable to take in liquid diets for a few days until your tongue is completely healed of the punctured wound. Generally it takes about two weeks for a complete healing.

6. Frequent use of mouth wash kills the useful bacteria in our oral cavity like lingual antimicrobial peptide and ptyalin. Limit washing your mouth with mouthwash to no more than twice a day.

7. Remember to wash your hands with antibacterial soap as a part of tongue piercing aftercare before touching the piercing.

8. Consume cold water frequently to tackle the swelling of the tongue. You may also crush some ice cubes and put them inside your mouth around the pierced area.

9. Avoid eating hard food objects like chocolates and chips. Instead try to eat ice cream in greater quantity.

10. Try to regularly rotate the barbell.

11. Check that the barbell remains tightened before going off to sleep as you may swallow a loose barbell or may get stuck inside your throat.

12. Do not indulge in any kind of oral sex and continue with all your tongue piercing aftercare until the piercing has got itself completely healed.

13. Avoid swimming or smoking until the piercing wounded has been fully healed.

Navel Rings - Belly Button Piercing

advertisements

There was a time when belly button piercing was completely unacceptable in western culture. During the mid nineteen nineties, however, something happened that changed the way the world saw naval piercing. It is difficult to say where it began, but several role models had a strong influence in the culture change. Naomi Campbell and other top models began flashing cute piercings and were seen on the ramp with naval rings. Around the same time a hit music video with Aerosmith, in which his girl gets a belly button piercing, made naval piercing even more popular with the young crowd.

Whether it was those key events or not, the world was beginning to accept the concept. Today, it is no longer taboo to get your belly button pierced. Many girls get their piercings as early as age fifteen. Belly pierces are now as common as earpieces and are not looked down upon as much as they were in the past. The fact that Wal-Mart even has naval rings for sale openly signifies the death of the stigma attached to naval piercing.

Gauging Ears

It is really amazing how the popularity of belly button rings has grown over the years. It is not uncommon in the USA as well as other western nations to see young girls with belly button rings. More and more girls are going to salons to get their pierces. Especially in the summer season, girls flock to get pierces or buy new naval rings. The stigma has been replaced by a certain fascination with the small flashy things.

Rings come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Barbells, rings, dangling rings, flexible belly button rings and much more are now available. Just like any other kind of ring, you can buy them in almost any kind of material. The most popular material is sterling silver. However, some other popular materials include plastic and hard rubber. Plastic is popular because it can be dyed any color and even comes in glow in the dark.

Belly button rings in higher end precious metals also exist. It is not uncommon to find belly rings in jewelry shops made out of gold and platinum, sometimes with precious stones set into them. Flashy rings for rich girls may include diamonds or rubies. Some girls prefer studs. Other girls prefer something a little more extravagant. Chandelier belly rings are large dangling rings made for the shock effect. While the fashion continues to grow so does the number of jewelers who have caught on to the idea and are adding to the variety.

Amber Earrings and Jewelry From Ancient Fossilized Resin

advertisements

Amber is one of the most unique gemstones used in jewelry since it is in fact fossilized tree resin often with small creatures that have remained trapped inside the resin for thousand or millions of years.

These hardened resinous pieces with fossils inside are collected primarily from the Baltic Sea region, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, and from The Dominican Republic in the Caribbean. The difference between Baltic amber and Dominican amber is the color. Although there is yellow, or golden brown amber in both places, blue and green amber comes more often from the Caribbean. Green, red, orange, brown rust-color amber or blue amber are all made into magnificent jewelry creations like the beaded Lithuanian traditional necklaces and the gorgeous translucent Polish yellow amber earrings that are famous around the world.

Amber Earrings from Dangle Drop to Clip On

Amber earrings come in many styles, from drop or dangle earrings to amber encrusted hoops or clip on earrings and even earring styles that incorporate other gemstones. The most interesting sets may well be the green amber earrings that are set mostly into sterling silver settings and are quite affordably priced.

Silver amber earrings are the most popular because they are the cheapest. It's just that simple. Many designers and small artisans can afford to work in silver and not in gold and since amber is a relatively inexpensive gemstone the combination of silver or pewter or other such semi-precious metals is conducive to keeping the costs down. Because amber is best in chunks and not cut too much (so as to not alter the inner fossils) amber stud earrings with large amber stones are very popular. The other type of jewelry that incorporates this unusual stone are amber drop earrings, partly because it mimics the way resin drops and gives a luminous, almost liquid feel to the earrings.

Keloid Scar Treatments - What You Should Know

advertisements

What are keloids, anyway?
First, let's discuss what a keloid scar is. They are basically made up of fibrous material within the confines of a scar, such as a chicken pox scar or a body piercing gone awry. They can range in size, from tiny and barely noticeable except to the touch, or they can get so large as to be an annoyance and in the way. They are generally smooth to the touch, and range in color from pink to red.

The problem
The problem with keloid scars is that they don't stop growing and migrating into flesh that hasn't been injured. The keloid itself is made up of scar tissue that never stopped growing or stopped after there was a large and noticeable bulge present on the surface of the skin. Most regular scars tend to fade away over time, but keloids do not.

Gauging Ears

There is no known reason why keloids happen. Some studies say that darker skinned people tend to get them more often than lighter skinned, but there is no definitive proof of this. Nor is there any reason to think that women get them more often than men, even though studies seem to indicate this. It is true, however, that women tend to have more piercings, thus having more opportunities to develop keloids. This may or may not be the reason why studies indicate women get them more often than men.

Is it possible to prevent keloid scars?
Since medical science has no idea why keloid scars occur nor for whom they will present, it is impossible to suggest any sort of preventative measures. If you have had them before or if you have other family members who have had them, then there's a good chance you will develop them with your next piercing. But there is no guarantee. The only way to avoid keloid scars is to not wound yourself, whether deliberately through body piercing or accidentally.

When Prevention Is Not Enough
Not injuring yourself is not always so easy. Accidents happen. Illnesses, like chicken pox, also happen and can cause keloid scars. There are measures one can take to get rid of keloids, but re-occurrance is very likely. Radiation, chemotherapy drugs, steroids, surgery and healing creams and gels all have their merits, but also have drawbacks. For example, A woman with whom I was speaking concerning her keloid problems told me that after 5 surgeries to remove the same scars, over and over, the only thing that worked, finally, for her was a combination of surgery, steroids and radiation.

Cartilage Piercing: Some Factors to Consider When Having Your Cartilage Pierced

advertisements

In the process of cartilage piercing, a person's cartilaginous tissue is penetrated for the purpose of inserting accessories like rings. In this procedure, the parts of the body penetrated are middle of the nose and the upper ears.

Cartilage piercing has become quite a fad these days especially to younger people as a means to make a fashionable statement or to proclaim their being part of a particular social group. This procedure is not anything new however, as it has been around for a long time now. Body piercing is a cultural tradition in so many parts of the world.

Gauging Ears

If you are planning to undergo cartilage piercing, you must understand that there may be some risks involved in the procedure. Here are some of the things you need to take into consideration:

- Healing time - the time it takes for cartilaginous tissue is longer than regular body tissue. In fact, cartilage piercing heals two to six times longer than skin piercing. In this case, you should be prepared to experience some bleeding for a period of time, pain that can last for months and other complications.
- Infection - this is not uncommon especially if the cartilage piercing was not done properly with the right tools and in the proper environment. People who have gone to piercing shops located in malls complain about complications. Usually, the problem is due to contamination at the shop where hygienic measures are not properly observed. Cartilaginous tissue treatment is more complicated than treating a wound and can require higher amounts of antibiotics. When infection occurs, serious pain is often involved.

To be sure that you go through cartilage piercing safely, here are some helpful tips:

1. Go to an accredited piercing clinic to get the job done.
2. Ensure that all tools to be used are properly sterilized which is highly likely if you choose to go to an authorized clinic. Go for a piercing needle instead of a gun. A piercing gun can cause damage to the tissue which will lead to longer healing time.
3. Always be on the look-out for symptoms of an infection. Common signs include pain, bleeding or pus. When you think the cartilage piercing is infected, consult a doctor immediately - prolonging this can cause bigger problems. While waiting for the cartilaginous tissue to heal, avoid changing rings yet to avoid complications.
4. Wear only hypoallergenic rings. Some metals used in cartilage piercing can cause infection so to be safe, be to use only hypoallergenic ones.

Cartilage Piercing: Some Factors to Consider When Having Your Cartilage Pierced

At the first mention of cartilage piercing, perhaps the first word to course through the mind is ouch. It is also called a helix piercing when performed on the helix or upper part of the ear cartilage. Either way, it involves the region of the outer ear which doesn't have much flesh. Perhaps it's not as painful as there may be less neural sensation in the area.

How to Flirt With Guys: Seduce Men With These Flirting Techniques

advertisements

Did you ever find a guy so sexy that you can't help but stare at him whenever you had the chance? Have you ever fancied someone but just couldn't go out of your way to tell him exactly how you feel? Are you bold enough to flirt with a good looking guy if you only knew how to flirt with guys? For most women, the answer to these questions is a resounding "yes".

For some, flirting comes out naturally. But most women, especially those who are novices in the dating game, find it a bit hard to initiate this sensual but playful behavior towards the opposite sex. Maybe these simple tips will help you learn how to flirt with guys.

Gauging Ears

Never be too serious

Generally, flirting is a fun thing to do. But bear in mind that your goal is to have fun while you are at it. Successful flirtations do not necessarily lead to finding the right person for you. Flirting is not meant to be serious. If anything at all, it should be playful neither passive nor aggressive. Moreover, there are no guarantees that the two of you may see each other again after this. Just learn how to flirt with guys and then go for it. Whether something comes out of it or not is a different thing and would need a totally different approach.

Gauging the opposite sex

To learn how to flirt with guys, it is always important to get to know more about the guy you want to flirt with. These provide you with a general idea of what the type of guy he is. Then when you are ready, you can initiate the first contact. Stare at him. The moment your eyes meet, try to look away at first but give a few hints through your body language that you are quite interested. This could be in the form of putting your hair at the back of your ears with a flick of your fingers or smiling while looking away. Once you stare back at him and you noticed that he's looking back at you, then both of you are making a headway start.

Subtlety is a powerful ally

As mentioned earlier, to know how to flirt with guys is to keep things at a normal pace. Don't be too eager to show off everything you've got. Flirting is best enjoyed when both parties build the excitement up. And to build excitement, you need time. It's a two-way thing where your move should be matched by his. After the first contact has been made, it's time to shift to a higher gear. Look at him again while playfully biting your lower lip. Once he sees that, burst into a smile to break the eye contact.

The bold move

At this point, the guy is already into you. That the guy still looks your way means that he is still interested. This gives you a confidence boost. Yet there are guys that need more encouragement. So make your way towards him but do not go directly to him. Stop by a vacant table next to his or stand at corner a few tables from where he's at. This will make it easier for him to approach you.

The Reason We Don't Remember Names

advertisements

How many times have you walked up to someone and said, hi I remember your name but I just don't remember your face. I venture to say probably never. In fact you probably say just the opposite; I remember your face but not your name. The reason we remember someone's face but not their name is because when we look at their face we are taking 52,000 pictures per second of their face, and their name is abstract. So when you meet someone for the first time and they tell you their name and you tell them your name psychologist tell us that our mind is searching so fast for the next thing to say to them or them to us. In reality you never lock the name in, or should I say into your mind. Yes you do take 52,000 pictures of their face per second, but the name just floats right over the top of your head. Now I have to tell you in 19 years of training executives, professionals, students and every day people I have heard the above statement thousands of times. I myself use to have the worst memory in the world for names and many other things. Being a psychologist and mnemonics trainer in the public and corporate world I have strived to show students in public and corporate programs, how to improve this highly sought after skill of name retention.

In this article I hope to give you some insight and hope for your future. The kind of hope I was able to get 19 years ago after attending a formalized mnemonics workshop. You see today Mnemonics training is becoming more of a formalized study. Clinical studies have now been conducted to show that you can increase your brain power by training the working memory. Specifically I mean the working memory of your mind. Yes fluid intelligence is not an innate or immutable trait of the mind that can't be improved upon.

Gauging Ears

In fact a study completed in 2008 in the University Of Michigan Department Of Psychology and published in the New York Times on April 29, 2008 showed findings presented at PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) how fluid intelligence can be improved by memory training. I won't bore you with the technical aspects of how that study worked, but it proves what I and other mnemonic trainers at MTI have been promoting and teaching in public and corporate workshops throughout the U.S since 1990. We have conducted workshops in corporate America at some of the top fortune 500 corporations throughout the U.S... Training companies like Texas Instruments, teaching the Six Sigma, Xerox in Rochester New York, their 6 step decision wheel, and AT&T their mission statement, (so they could win the Malcolm Baldridge Award in training0. Companies, like Johnson and Johnson, Eastman Kodak, Bausch & Lomb, and many more now use these techniques. I don't tell this to boast, although we are proud of the work that we have done. I tell this in an effort to gain your interest and attention because of some of the many promises being made out there today without the proper substance or training.

Having spent my earlier professional life working in the Oil and Gas Industry with a company named Arco Oil and Gas, now BP, I held the position of Director of Training and Development in the operations an engineering division in Dallas, Texas. I had been in Houston, Alaska, Tulsa OK., and finally in the headquarters in Dallas. I directed development and implementation of many different types of training programs. My department coordinated college recruiting and placed engineers, technologist, and management trainees on staff in one year training programs with placement upon completion.

The reason I tell you this is If I would have had the techniques and skills I now teach, while developing those programs, I could have remembered all of my students names. You see I, like you, could remember their faces, but not their names. No not even if I saw them at the mall, restaurant, and theatre or wherever. I ultimately was responsible for 400 plus engineers, managers and supervisors future, but had trouble remembering their name.

That being said, I am now going to tell you how your mind remembers and why you need to train it to be more effective today in every walk of life. First let me say the research being conducted today on the plasticity of the brain is exciting. I sometimes feel like I may have been born to soon. So let me say that you control the power to improve your fluid intelligence and no one else does. Yes your parents may have given you 33% of the ability but that's probably all. I have found in the past 19 years of teaching formalized mnemonic training skills that you can be as smart as you want to be. Clinical studies now show that by doing things like learning new languages, or new operating systems for your computer, or just the act of, will grow your hippocampus. It's the very part of the brain now being tagged as the central processing system for our memories. In fact some research says that some of the memory traces you lay down everyday in your mind is actually distributed late at night while you sleep, in stage 3 & 4 of your sleep cycles. So rest and REM sleep is important.

Well enough exciting research findings let me now tell you I sometimes meet several hundred people a week and then don't see them for the next ninety days. At least not until they show up with their associates or family members to attend a two-day workshop. You guessed right, I remember and call them by their name. They're impressed, I'm impressed, but I impress myself everyday and believe me I am not easily impressed. The exciting thing is you can do this too! Yes you all have an innate ability lying dormant in your mind you just have to learn how to turn the switch on. The beauty of the program we teach is whether you were raised in the north, south, east or west or even in a foreign country you all can do this. It's simply a matter of training your working memory. The secret is with proper training we can train our conscious and subconscious mind, or the cognitive ability of our mind to work in alignment. I believe that by doing so we remember more efficiently. The process I will call rapid cognition is used in a mindful based stress reducing environment.

When I said before you don't remember their name but you do remember their face, it's because you take pictures of their face. The name is abstract and you don't see the name. In our workshop we show you by using two simple rules for turning abstracts into pictures you can tie that persons name to their face. You tie it to a facial file that will help you remember their name for the rest of your life. Yes I said a facial file. You see we use a simple acronym of F. P .G. , to remember anything whether it be names, formulas, concepts, theories or foreign languages. F stands for file or a mental location somewhere to store information. P stands for picture, everything is stored in a picture format. G stands for glue it's the bonding agent that keeps the picture in the file long enough to transfer it from the short term memory to the long term memory.

We teach a two day workshop where we cover all four generations of mnemonic systems. Some are passed down 2500 years ago. The first one being association, the second being the chain of visualization, the third the peg system and the fourth the mental file folder system. Each student is tested at the beginning and all along the way to show their improvement, sometimes a 1000% in the first few hours. I have found in training someone, using the power of positive affirmation along with showing them their results they will ultimately learn quicker. It always makes them more receptive to their teach ability factor of being open minded to progress and change. We know they have the willingness to learn because they take 7 hrs. out of their life to attend a memory workshop and pay good money to be there. So we open their minds to learning new processes that show immediate results. The same results that are less time consuming and as tedious as rote memorization takes. In fact we don't teach memorization we teach you how to picturize your way through life!

I have been doing this for 19 years, 18 of which I have instructed public and corporate in house workshops. Not once have I had someone ask for their money back and we do offer a money back guarantee! Most of them want to attend an advanced program. I found out why when we opened up in Louisiana back in the ninety's. They wanted to go to the casinos and remember how the black jack cards fell on the blackjack table. So now we know why they wanted the advanced program!

So when people say I just can't remember names I just smile and ask them if they have tried this? The thing I am alluding to is the Six Step Process for remembering names we teach in our training. We do a lot more than just name retention; such as how to remember formulas, appointments, numbers, dates, speeches and presentations etc (you can see our workshop outline on our website). Somehow though all of these years I have been told by thousands that name retention is their number one problem. I will tell you the six steps but it takes a two day 7hr. program to get to know how the six steps work in a memory matrix for all of us.

The Six Step Process for remembering names:

Step 1- You have to pick a facial file on that person. (Something unique about them and there are rules)

Step 2- Introduce yourself and ask for their name, the proper spelling and the origin.

Step 3- Using rules for turning names into pictures turn the first name and the last name into a picture.

Step 4- Take the first name and the last name pictures and put them on the persons face.

Step 5- Using the pictures for their name make a chain of visualization story to tie the the pictures together.

Step 6- Always repeat the name to the person or yourself before leaving.

We use the above six steps to teach the attendee's how to remember names. Obviously there is a lot more information that has been absorbed by the student to refine these skills, at the point of conducting our mock cocktail party. I now want to explain how the brain takes that information and uses it to build a memory trace finally stored in the long term memory. I should say my theory of what takes place when you remember or you don't remember someone's name. I believe we all have these picture vocabularies in our mind we carry around with us and periodically we use them to learn. For those of us that are formally trained on how to use our memory retention skills, we use them more often. For those of you out there that lack that training you will have to take my word for it own faith. But the beauty is we all have our very own!

I will start by saying our brain works in pictures! To give you the acid test do not think of an elephant! What happens is in a millisecond is your mind throws up a picture of an elephant, a big gray mass, with big floppy ears and a long trunk, an elephant. Now you don't spell the letters e l e p h a n t, you could do that if I asked you to, but instead you see a picture of an elephant. You then you tell your mind to not think about it. I will tell you why I believe this to be true. You remember when Apple computer came out? You had a neat little mouse you moved around to grab a file folder (a manila folder) and you pulled it over to a trash can, the trash can swelled up then returned to its normal size. It meant you just deleted that file folder. Now we have Microsoft windows and all of these icons we click on and then go to that program. Our mind works in pictures. Think back when you were in first grade or kindergarten and around the top of the room there was the alphabet. Under the letter A was an apple and under the B was a boy or a bat and C a cat or a cow. Then pretty soon you had enough letters and pictures to build words, then sentences, then paragraphs. Well there is your proof. If you don't believe me try to see a deer next time someone says there's an elephant.

I have established in your mind that your mind works in pictures so here is what happens to names and faces. We have a wonderful thing in our mind called selective remembering selective forgetting. The things we like we remember easier than the things we don't like. Now along with that fact faces and names are remembered easier when we meet someone we have a romantic interest in. It works differently those times right. Well I am sure that's because we lay down those name memory traces with a lot of emotion and hormones that establishes the long term memory process. So that being said here is what happens to everybody else's names and faces. While we are taking those 52,000 pictures per second, I told you about earlier; when you hear the name it flies right over the top of our head. Hearing their name briefly our brain says, this is not a person I am romantically involved with and what is it he or she wants from me or what do I need from them? Even to the point of us determining their worth or interest to us.

Now that we have established that at the point of introduction is where we lose the name, let me explain what I personally think is happening. Your brain is receiving information from your eyes and the little lock box of your subconscious (the little box that no one has been able to explain how it got there or how it works) is going through thousands of computations. These computations are checking the way that person looks, smells, moves, and all of the other little idiosyncrasies that our subconscious mind finds important or not important. It then tells us if we are safe or if we should we feel threatened. Then in that split second our biases and prejudices are checked to determine interest levels to make our next calculation for listening or talking. It is in that split second that we can lock in that persons name by using skills learned through mnemonic training. The stress hormone called cortisol produced in your adrenal gland will take over. It will either lay down or choose not to lay down the new memory traces at this moment. I believe if we determine that we are proactively going to remember this person's name using mnemonic skills we can do so. We however must control that proactive step and here's how.

We teach, by using mnemonics and mindful based stress reducing activities how you encode, recode and store information for easy retrieval when we need it. In this case being a name and face, it's the best way to move the memory trace you form from a short term memory to a long term memory state. The electrical and chemical transmission that takes place in this process is where we force our mind to activate the beginning of remembering someone's name and face. Technically two brain cells of the neuron type make up in your brain are connecting. It's at the tip of the dendrite spine (DS) that firing of a synapse occurs between the two receptors forcing those two brain cells to form a new memory trace. I believe these newly formed memory traces are reinforced to transfer to a long term memory trace or they are not reinforced and passively decay to oblivion.

We can determine how to place those new memories into long term memory through reinforcement using mnemonic devices. It's called a queue when mnemonics is used to strengthen that new tangle (memory trace) to lay down new identifiable recoded data. Data that can be recalled by the queue or stimuli we build. I believe now with the functional MRI and other probes we can see this take place in the area of the brain called the hippocampus. Though we may not know specifically now that is what happened at some point I believe research of the future will show how these tangles or memory traces are activated and formed. Then at the moment we see that person again the same things we saw originally are served up in our mind from the memories we laid down with that name, face and queue. The same memory traces we laid down originally using mnemonic tools like the six step process for remembering names. This is called the Encoding Specificity Principle. The principle, which says, "Stimuli can retrieve a memory if the memory or stimuli is stored with a queue. What this does is the queue actually retrieves the memory. The same type of memory we now form subconsciously through our emotion, and other sensory perceptions to lay those memories down. What these queues represent are the mental files we build using pictures to recall the persons name. These files are the mnemonic devices you learn by training the working memory.

The fact that people don't care how much you know before they first know how much you care, shows It's kind of hard to show someone you care if you can't remember their name don't you agree. That statement made by a famous motivator, is the very reason we should all use these mnemonic techniques to remember more names. Mindful based stress reduction training makes us focus. By forming a habit of paying attention, focusing and using something like these 6 steps you will ensure that you will remember someone's name. When you focus your attention to that person, their face, then turn the names into pictures and put those pictures on their face, you force memory trace structure. Its the very structure necessary to build the long term memory traces. Then with a queue that helps the mind feed the memory back the encoding, recoding, storage and retrieval system works more efficiently. Using our adjustable unconcious mechanism.

Now as we walk around in our daily life we carry around in our mind our picture vocabulary. The picture vocabularies we build throughout our entire life. Then when we learn how they are built we become better authors and readers of life. The very act of laying down these memory traces make our minds grow and stretch. With the fact that we are living longer it is essential that we learn how to learn more efficiently. This will make sure our latter years are packed with new knowledge that in the long run maintains a healthy brain and focused consciousness.

I have always liked Fyodor Mikhalovich Dostoevsky quotes but the one he made " It seems, in fact, as though the second half of a man's life is made up of nothing, but the habits he has accumulated during the first half", has been a challenge to me to try to make that a statement that some our ancestors may have had to live with but not us!

I have to tell you now that I am dyslexic and being a psychologist I know I meet most of the criteria for A.D.H.D. (I probably should be medicated, but I was to old to best tested.) Actually there were no test readily available in my early years of school but through struggles and God's grace I survived. My oldest daughter graduated from S.M.U in Dallas four years ago and had a job a year before she graduated. I took her to the workshop when she was eight years old and she was then a high B to a low A student. Using the mnemonic training she graduated a year early and had a job a year before she graduated. My youngest daughter now in her fourth year at North Texas State University had an 18 hour course load last semester and made a 4.0 making the presidents list using these techniques. Now my wife was already naturally smart having attended SMU at the age of 16 and completing with an accounting degree by 19. She at the time was diagnosed with a rapid brain wave so you can imagine what she does with this system.

Now I know you think oh yeah it was in the genes, well maybe some actually today they are finding that 33% of it may be in the genes but it is my opinion that it is in the environment and behavior more so. I flunked a year and struggled through school but if I would have had formalized mnemonic training I probably would have excelled. So I am a firm believer that you are capable of being most anything you want to be and my wife and I have raised our girls that way.

Now to sum up what I have tried to give you in a short but deserving longer explanation is that mnemonics is going to be a way of life somewhere in the near future. I believe it will be a structured process introduced somewhere in elementary education and used to help our youth attain better grades and understanding for the future. I am asked in the workshops many times why isn't this taught in grade school in fact I have one exact statement in letter form from a Vice President of a major stock brokerage firm. I always answer; it's like the metric system, who's going to pay for it? But we are paying for it by not doing it. We do let students attend our public workshops with their parents free of charge between the ages of 10-18. Actually girls can pick this up at 8 years of age where as boys mature about 2 years later and at 10 years of age can handle abstracts. I do feel however the U.S. will eventually conform as it is taking off in leaps and bounds in Asia now. Face it look at how many honor students are in India as well, more than we have in total number of students. So America it is time. So write the president and tell him it's time to research Mnemonics!

We now have a new program for learning and remembering names on Audio and you can see it or order it from our website. I hope this has been as an enlightening article for you as it has been a rewarding 19 years for me. I plan to write future articles on some the other things we are doing at Memory Technologies Institute. I look am looking forward to your questions and observations on this article.

The Complete Guide To Body Jewelry: Pierced for Beauty

Traditionally, jewelry was worn in the ancient times to express the bearer's power and social standing. It traditionally was a symbol of exclusivity and no common person could wear them. For instance, in ancient Egypt, only religious figures and political leaders were allowed to wear jewelry. During this time, jewelry were more than special symbols of wealth and power. They were used also as talismans and important pieces for rituals.

Perhaps as a way of rebelling against this age-old tradition of the symbol of jewelry, certain alternative groups in society have decided to make a statement in the way they wear jewelry by allowing themselves to undergo non traditional body piercings to be able to adorn body jewelry.

Gauging Ears

In the not so distant past, these individuals with many alternative body piercings were called punk. These individuals were often societal outcasts and would traditionally be in tattered, non-traditional outfits there were usually in the color black or in other austere and subdued colors. These individuals had body piercings and jewelry in areas of the body that were once considered to be absurd. It all perhaps began with multiple ear piercing to be able to accommodate multiple earrings in one ear.

But then, we started to see nose rings, tongue and even eyebrow rings as these individuals pushed expectations further. Those particular body piercing and jewelry are only the ones found on the face. However, body piercing encompasses the whole body and body jewelry has been known to adorn other body parts like the nipples via nipple rings and other piercing in sensitive areas of the human body.

While these types of body piercing and jewelry were once considered taboo, present society has been more forthcoming of these types of adornment. While it is still considered daring and different to sport body piercing and matching jewelry, it cannot be denied that it has gained more acceptance and popularity as more and more singers, rappers and artists display their alternative body piercing and jewelry. Because of this phenomenon, body piercing and jewelry have become part of pop culture and enjoys better acceptance in society.

Because of the popularity of body piercing and jewelry for these, much more variety in jewelry designs are available in the market. Other than the old "punk" look, body piercing jewelry now comes in different shapes, sizes and designs that allows the most popular pop icon to adorn a fashionable belly ring on her flat belly and look very attractive because of this.

While it may still be impossible for traditional jewelry stores to carry jewelry for body piercing, it is quite easy to find the body piercing jewelry that will fit your sense of style and preferences. If the process of body piercing scares you, just remember that if you do it in a hygienic way with qualified individuals then there shouldn't be a problem with infections or those sorts of concerns.

It is also important to maintain proper hygiene after a piercing to make sure that the piercing heals properly. You can also opt to take vitamin C regularly while the wound is healing so that it mends faster and properly.

If it happens to be the pain factor that's stopping you from getting a body piercing, just remember that some body parts are more susceptible to pain than the rest. For instance, more fatty areas of the body are less painful when pierced as opposed to more bony or cartilage based areas.
