S SSETR

Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that's

hard on people. The nervous system senses continued pressure and may

remain slightly activated and continue to pump out extra stress hormones

over an extended period. This can wear out the body's reserves, leave a

person feeling depleted or overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune sys-

tem, and cause other problems.

S SSETR

WhaT Is sTress?Stress is a feeling that's created when we re-

act to particular events. It's the body's way of rising to a challenge and preparing to meet a tough situation with focus, strength, stamina, and heightened alertness.

The events that provoke stress are called stressors, and they cover a whole range of situations — everything from outright physi-cal danger to making a class presentation or taking a semester's worth of your toughest subject.

The human body responds to stressors by activating the nervous system and specific hormones. The hypothalamus signals the ad-renal glands to produce more of the hormones adrenaline and cortisol and release them into the bloodstream. These hormones speed up heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and metabolism. Blood vessels open wider to let more blood flow to large muscle groups, putting our muscles on alert. Pupils dilate to improve vision. The liver releases some of its stored glucose to increase the body's energy. And sweat is produced to cool the body. All of these physical changes prepare a person to react quickly and effectively to handle the pressure of the moment.

This natural reaction is known as the stress response. Working properly, the body's stress response enhances a person's ability to perform well under pressure. But the stress response can also cause problems when it overreacts or fails to turn off and reset itself properly.Good stress and Bad stressThe stress response (also called the fight or

flight response) is critical during emergency situations, such as when a driver has to slam on the brakes to avoid an accident. It can also be activated in a milder form at a time when the pressure's on but there's no actual danger — like stepping up to take the foul shot that could win the game, getting ready to go to a big dance, or sitting down for a final exam. A little of this stress can help keep you on your toes, ready to rise to a challenge. And the nervous system quickly returns to its normal state, standing by to respond again when needed.

But stress doesn't always happen in response to things that are immediate or that are over quickly. Ongoing or long-term events, like coping with a divorce or moving to a new neighborhood or school, can cause stress, too.

Long-term stressful situations can produce a lasting, low-level stress that's hard on people. The nervous system senses continued pres-sure and may remain slightly activated and continue to pump out extra stress hormones over an extended period. This can wear out the body's reserves, leave a person feeling depleted or overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune system, and cause other problems.Build Your resilienceEver notice that certain people seem to

adapt quickly to stressful circumstances and take things in stride? They're cool under pressure and able to handle problems as they come up. Researchers have identified the qualities that make some people seem naturally resilient even when faced with high levels of stress.

If you want to build your resilience, work on developing these attitudes and behaviors:

Think of change as a challenging and nor-mal part of life.

See setbacks and problems as temporary and solvable.

Believe that you will succeed if you keep working toward your goals.

Take action to solve problems that crop up. Build strong relationships and keep commit-

ments to family and friends. Have a support system and ask for help. Participate regularly in activities for relax-

ation and fun. Learn to think of challenges as opportuni-

ties and stressors as temporary problems, not disasters. Practice solving problems and ask-ing others for help and guidance rather than complaining and letting stress build. Make goals and keep track of your progress. Make time for relaxation. Be optimistic. Believe in yourself. Be sure to breathe. And let a little stress motivate you into positive action to reach your goals.

FACE SCRUBS AND FACE PACKS

Face scrubs are very good as they slough away dead cells and give a glow to the dead and lifeless look-ing complexion. Take care not to use a scrub when you have angry looking pimples on the face. a scrub can at times aggravate the situation.



Perfect eyebrows almost transcend the beauty of the face and make an im-mediate visible impact in a makeover session. The most coveted eyebrow shape is the one that starts directly above the inner corner of the eye, while its highest point is little beyond the outer corner of the iris. It tapers off to the end in a rounded bow like shape. However, not many women have been endowed with that perfect brow so most of them have to resort to many other procedures to attain the desired shape or reach nearest to it such as plucking, tweezing and wax-ing the brows. Here are some simple tips to tame your brows:Spray a little hair spray on your brows and brush them using your toothbrush to keep them in place. If you don't have time for tweezing, you can get the desired contour quick-ly by brushing them upwards and then snipping the longest hairs beyond the natural arch using a pair of tiny scis-sors. Eyebrows slanting upwards make you look angry, so be careful not to take off too much at the outer corners. Before tweezing your brows, you must prepare your skin by wiping the brow area with a cotton ball soaked in as-tringent. The cooling effect numbs the

skin for sometime and thus, you do not feel much pain. Hold the tweezers at 45 degrees and pluck the stray hairs below the brow line in the direction of the hair growth. If your brows are sparse, use a freshly sharpened brow pencil to fill in the areas with light, quick strokes. To get a natural and more defined look, you can brush your brows with a brow brush dipped in brow powder in upward and outward strokes. It is important to use the correct shade for your brows. fair women can use blonde shades while olive col-ored women should choose tawny or brown. Dark African-American wom-en can use gray shades. To add volume to your brows, use a stiff, slanted brush to apply eye shad-ow in short gentle strokes. In case, you have over tweezed certain brow area, try to fill the patch using brow shadow, applying in the direction of the hair growth. Eye shadow gives more natural look to your brows than an eyebrow pencil! Brow shade should be about two shades lighter than hair color for olive or dark skinned women and two shades darker than hair color blondes or women with grey hair

Face scrubs are very good as they slough away dead cells and give a glow to the dead and lifeless look-ing complexion. Take care not to use a scrub when you have angry looking pimples on the face. a scrub can at times aggravate the situation.

A pimple, also known as a zit or spot is a small papule or pustule; small skin lesions or inflammation of the skin - they are oil glands (sebaceous glands) that are infected with bacteria, become inflamed, and then fill up with pus. Pimples are caused when the seba-ceous glands located at the base of hair follicles become overactive; the most vulnerable parts of the body are the face, back, chest and shoulders. Pimples are palpable signs of acne, especially when a breakout occurs.The sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, exist inside the pores of our skin. The outer layers of our skin are being shed continuously. Sometimes, dead skin cells are left behind and get stuck together by the sticky sebum, causing a blockage in the pore. Pore blockage is more likely to occur during puberty (the process of physi-cal changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of re-production). More sebum is produced

by the sebaceous gland - as the pore is blocked, it accumulates behind the blockage. This accumulated and blocked sebum has bacteria, including Propioni-bacterium acnes; this slow-growing bacterium is linked to acne. Propioni-bacterium acnes generally exists harm-lessly on our skin - however, when the conditions are right, it can reproduce more rapidly and become a problem. The bacterium feeds off the sebum and produces a substance that causes an immune response, leading to inflam-mation of the skin and spots. The skin of people who are prone to acne are especially sensitive to normal blood levels of testosterone - a natu-ral hormone found in both males and females. In such people the testoster-one can make the sebaceous glands produce too much sebum, making the clogging up of dead skin cells more likely, which in turn increases the probability of blocking the pores, etc. you cannot catch pimples from anoth-er person; they are not infectious. There is no scientifically compelling evidence to prove.

Ideals of Hindu Marriage

In Hinduism, man and woman represent the two halves of the divine body. There is no question of superiority or inferiority between them. However, it is a scientific fact that the emotional side is more developed in women. This does not mean that intellectually, women are inferior. Hindu history is witness to the super-women, like Gargi, Mai-treyi and Sulabha, whose faculty of reasoning was far superior to that of ordinary mortals. But owing to organic differences in their physical and emotional constitutions, women are temperamentally more emotion-al than men.In Hinduism, man and woman represent the two halves of the divine body.

Skills are the activities that a person does well. What things are you good at doing? Everyone has many skills. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize the skills that you have.

Job skills are abilities you need for a specific job. For example, a chef needs to know how to cook and bake. A taxi driver needs to know how to drive a car and read signs. A secretary needs to know how to type and take messages.

Transferable skills are skills you can use in many different jobs. you can take skills from one job and use them in a very different job. Speaking English well, for instance, is a skill you can use in almost any job. Some examples of transferable skills are teaching other people, solving problems, accepting responsibility, organizing projects, making decisions, and creating new ideas. Employers want to select employees who have or who can learn the skills necessary to do the job

Benefits of the Pomegranate After skin cancer, prostate

cancer is next as the cause of cancer death among men in the United States. A recent study at Uc Los Angeles found that drinking pome-granate juice helped fight prostate cancer. The study was performed on 48 men with recurrent prostate cancer. Half of the men drank 8 ounces of pomegranate juice a day and the other half did not drink any pomegranate juice. The men that drank the juice were able to go 37 months before symptoms reap-peared, the non-juice drinkers only went 15 months without symptoms. This study was small and is certain-ly not the final word on the subject. However, the research is promising and certainly warrants giving some consideration to adding pomegran-ate juice to your diet.

Brain Injury research A new study on mice conducted

by the University of Washington School of medicine in St. Louis could hold promise for expectant mothers at risk of premature birth. Pomegranate juice may help their babies resist brain injuries from low oxygen and reduced blood flow as-sociated with premature birth. The phenomenon, which is called hy-poxia ischemia, causes brain injury in approximately 2 of every 1,000 full-term human births.

In this latest study, researchers temporarily lowered brain oxygen levels and brain blood flow in baby mice whose mothers drank water mixed with concentrated pomegran-ate juice, their brain tissue loss was reduced by 60 percent in compari-son to mice whose mothers ingested other liquids.

WoRlD stAnDARDsThe image of Sri krishna is in erect posture standing on a raised platform towering about 65 Meters tall along with his siblings is one of the biggest images of god in the world. The num-ber of priests in the temple is astound-ing (more than six thousand) and as-sistant priests, attendants and guards constitute another 14,000! A temple with 20,000 staff may be the biggest in the world. The kitchen of the temple is the biggest which feeds thousands of devotees with its ‘Holy-Mahaprasad’ (food served from temple –considered as a holy gift from god.

oRigin of JuggERnAutIt is in Puri the beachfront town in Orissa where the Jaganath temple (in Sanskrit; ‘jagat’ is world and ‘nath’ is lord, meaning the Lord of the world) is located. Jaganath temple and its mag-nificent chariots are referred wherever the English word ‘Juggernaut’ is men-tioned; as Jaganath is the word that got transformed in to juggernaut, which means any object, organization or contraption that is huge, powerful and overwhelming.

tHE tHREE cHARiotsIt is the annual ritual celebrated there ‘The chariot festival’ that has made this temple famous and it remains as one of the most crowd pulling events in India. This ritual consists of dragging three huge chariots (each 14 meters high and carries idols of krishna and siblings) placed on huge platforms that are mounted on sixteen giant wooden wheels each of about two meters in diameter. These chariots are dragged thousands of devotees (who scramble for a space to catch hold of the shaft. These huge wooden shafts are called (Bada Danda).

The mega-procession dragging the chariots witnessed by millions of dev-otees passes through the road to the

Gundiche Temple less than 3 kM away where the idols are left for eight days. There the images are given new attires and the procession returns to its abode – The Lord Jaganath Temple. This journey is to celebrate the memory of Lord krishna’s journey from Gokul to Mathura in the Veda era. Once the celebrations are over the chariots are dismantled and the parts are used for religious relics (they are not re-used for the next season).

tHE sEAson of fREnzYThe mammoth procession that pass through the fully packed thoroughfare dragging the gargantuan chariots- each with the idols as well as all parapher-nalia of a big temple- for their annual sojourn to another temple. This remote town turns uncontrollable as millions taken over by devotional frenzy per-form everything they can do to please their Lord Jaganath. Devotees who have flocked the town from all the sur-rounding as well as distant areas resort to the rituals of their native areas.

A mAss DEliRiumIn early times devotees used to jump in front of the chariots thereby ending their life under the giant wheels in ut-ter madness invoked by sheer devotion. In the burning mid-day sun drenched in sweat a million of odd devotees dis-solve in to a mass hypnotism. Some sway to the chants others stand with folded hands whispering prayers ad-dressed to Lord Jaganath.
