Household Tips for Everyone is very useful ifyou are really looking forward to a perfect home and good finance.It is also important to know if you have loved ones who haveallergy symptoms

Here are 10 household tips that will help keep your allergysymptoms at bay.

1.) Encase your mattress and pillows with a zipperedhypoallergenic allergen barrier that blocks any particles largerthan 1 micron in size and that fully encases the mattress andpillow. Doing this will eliminate new mites from populating theseareas and will lock in dust mites that are already living there,keeping you free from their allergens.

2.) At least once every week, wash your sheets in very hotwater. The water should be at least 130°F. If your bedding is madeof fabrics that cannot be washed in hot water, you can put it inthe freezer for one to two days, which will effectively kill dustmites. Every 2 to 4 weeks, you should also wash blankets andmattress pads.

3.) It is recommended that severe allergy sufferers alsocompletely cover their box springs and their comforters or duvetswith allergen barrier encasements as dust mites can infest thesetwo areas as well.

4.) Keep the temperature in your home and especially in yourbedroom below 70°F if possible and the humidity below 50 percentbecause dust mites thrive in warm, humid climates. Leaving yoursheets unmade each morning allows them to dry out (nighttimeperspiration) and keeps the bed cooler because less heat is beingtrapped beneath the sheets. In addition, dust mites arephotophobic, afraid of the light so are less likely to settle in anunmade bed exposed to sunlight.

5.) While encasements keep dust mites from entering yourmattress and pillows, allergens and dust may still accumulate onthe surface. It’s important to wipe down encasements each time thatyou change your sheets or remove them to be washed. You should alsowash your encasements in hot water every 8 weeks or so.

6.) Always vacuum beneath your bed and mattress. Damp mop anyhard flooring and use a damp rag to dust. Sweeping a dry floor mayonly stir up dust and allergens.

7.) If it’s in your budget to do so, remove carpeting,especially in the bedroom, and replace with hardwood flooring.Replace drapes and cloth blinds with wood or vinyl blinds. If youprefer to have carpeting, make sure to vacuum weekly.

8.) Wash children’s soft-cloth toys in 130°F water if possible,otherwise place them in the freezer for a full 24 hours to kill offdust mites, if they are non-washable.

9) Another household tips we are going to share is about dustmites.Dust mites also consume the dead skin cells that Fido andFiFi exfoliate, and pet dander itself is yet another commonallergen trigger that affects many people. If you or your childrensuffer from allergies or asthma, don’t allow cats or dogs or anyother pets in the bedroom.

10) Not only can cigarette & fireplace smoke becarcinogenic, they also can exacerbate any respiratory condition.Don’t smoke in the house and if you have a fireplace in yourbedroom, don’t use it.

Graphic Designer Guide 0.0.1 APK
Graphic Designer guide is an app to help youunderstand what is required to be a good graphic designer.1. Using web graphics on printed material.With many young designers coming from a pre-dominantly web designbackground the transfer over from web design to traditional designfor print can bring with it a multitude of design sins. Imagessupplied at 72dpi and crunched down to load fast on a website aregoing to reproduce very badly in print you can get away with smallthumbnails but blowing things up to any appreciable size is goingto be pushing your luck. There are a number of online sitesoffering free or very cheap quality hi resolution images which area good source for suitable imagery.2. Forgetting about or not allowing enough bleed.A very common error is to send to print a document or flattenedimage that has no bleed at all. Generally speaking you should allowat least 3mm around every cut off edge. Failing to do so will givethe printers no leeway and will either crop off the side of thepage or give you a white border. It is always a good idea whensupplying image files to save layered psd files then if things needextending or cropping you can do this on the background layer andhopefully cut down your work3. Using obscure fonts and not embedding or outlining them foroutput.We've all been guilty of this at some point and things aregenerally fine if you are going to be the only person accessingyour artwork or documents. However if someone else needs to amendthe files or use your vector logo on one of there publications.Unless you package up the used fonts, they are not going to be ableto open the files correctly and some software programs may replaceany unknown fonts with a default. This is a particular problem whenyou need to dig out stuff that was created several years previouslyand you no longer have your old fonts installed.4. Supplying print ready artwork using spot colours or rgbThere are valid reasons for using spot colours in artwork, logosthat need to reference particular pantone colours for example. Ingeneral design work however most print is sent through on 4 colourpresses CMYK with occasional 5th colour for luminoius or metalliccolour or for spot UV varnish. It is very common for lazy designersto just place rgb images into files and expect the vibrant coloursseen on screen to reproduce in print.5. Allowing design illiterate clients to lead you round thehousesThe customer is always right, goes the old adage. However it isoften said with gritted teeth and a sense of patience thatrecognizes that these morons will at some stage be handing over afat cheque for your troubles. It is often a good idea when firstsubmitting visuals to throw in a couple of stinkers to hopefullyget them to appreciate the design you would like them to accept.There is the very real danger of course of them loving the piece ofabsolute arsewipe that you knocked up in five minutes to make themthink you've been earning your money. Still it's a living.Download Graphic Designer Guide now!

Public Speaking Superstar 0.0.1 APK
Public Speaking Superstar App will help youget rid of fear, stage fright, stutter and many more problems thatnew or seasoned public speakers face.Fear of public speaking is a very common form of social anxiety.Fear of public speaking has often been called the 'GreatestAnxiety,' due to the large number of people who actually experiencethis fear. Fear of public speaking doesn't just mean that you havea fear of making a speech in public. It can mean that youexperience stage fright, or even that you have a fear of talking toother people in a social situation.Fear of public speaking often holds people back from many thingsthat they want in their lives. It may be job promotions, or fundraisers for causes that they believe in, but the fear of publicspeaking will, at some point, stand between you and what you wantor need.Symptoms of fear of public speaking include shortness of breath,inability to speak, a shaky voice, shallow breathing, rapidheartbeat, sweating, nausea, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Thereare many things that can cause fear of public speaking. Socialanxiety can cause a fear of public speaking. It may also be causedby an earlier traumatic public speaking experience. There is no oneanswer as to why some people experience fear of public speaking,but for those who experience it, the fear is quite real - but itcan be dealt with.There are many tricks a person can use to get past their fear ofpublic speaking. The first trick is to know exactly what you aregoing to say, but not to worry about memorizing every word of yourspeech. Use note cards, and write down your key points - insentences that make sense. This way, if you freeze up and forgetwhat you were going to say, you can refer to your notes, and pickup where you left off. Use big print on the note cards, and ifpossible, keep up with where you are on the cards during yourspeech, so it will be easy to find your place if you need to.Once you've prepared and practiced your speech, stop. Put itaway, and don't think about it again, until you are on the stage,ready to deliver the speech. Often people over practice, and thisjust causes the fear to grow and grow. Remember it is okay to messup when you are giving a speech. Simply laugh at yourself, theaudience will laugh with you - not at you - and you can continueyour speech. In fact, most people are much more relaxed afterthey've made that first mistake in the speech and laugh about it.They know, at that point, that they are going to be okay.Speeches do not need to last for hours. You only need three orfour main points. Say what needs to be said, accept the applauseand say 'Thank You,' and go off and enjoy the rest of your day orevening. Another trick that works well is to have someone you knowwell to look at throughout the speech, and concentrate solely onthat person. Give you speech to them, and them alone - even if theroom is packed. This means that you bring your spouse along withyou, or bring a friend. This must be someone that you are alwayscomfortable talking to.Many people feel that they must include jokes in their speeches.Unfortunately, many of these people fear that they are not funny,or that their joke will flop, and this causes more anxiety andfear. If you are worried about this, omit the jokes from yourspeech and be serious. The people are there to hear theinformation, not the jokes.If all else fails - picture everyone in their underwear. This isan old standby that really does work. The point of doing thisexercise is that it makes everyone in the room seem lessintimidating. You don't even have to picture them in theirunderwear. Picture them with hair curlers in their hair, or picturethe men with facial cream on their faces.Download Public Speaking Superstar now!
