Molly Ridenhour asked:


It has been said that there is nothing quite so soft as a baby’s skin. New parents love to soothe and protect their baby’s sensitive skin by smoothing on creme, lotions and powders to stop the symptoms of diaper rash as well as other irritations. The use of organic baby products helps you, as a parent, be sure that you are not using products that contain harmful ingredients. Organic baby products contain only natural ingredients with no chemicals or irritants to affect the sensitive skin of your infant. These products offer gentle protection and soothing action with no dangerous chemicals included.



Chemical free production

Organic baby products are soft and comfortable on baby’s skin because the fiber is specially grown to be free from pesticides and chemical treatments. At present, it is hard to determine precisely what long term effects that such substances have on humans, birds and animals that come in contact with the chemicals. Using organic baby products means you never have to worry about the chemicals that were used because there were none. These garments, cremes and lotions are not going to irritate the baby’s skin or result in unwanted irritants being drawn into the baby’s lungs or mouth.

No Carcinogens

There is no way that a responsible parent will deliberately put products that contain carcinogens on the sensitive skin of their baby. It is unfortunately true, though, that sometimes these dangerous ingredients are hidden from the casual observer. Even a veteran label reader may not be fully aware of the long term effect some ingredients will have on the skin of the baby. However, by committing yourself to organic baby products only you avoid the issue of trying to determine what is lethal and what is merely dangerous. Organic baby products are always safe and healthy.

Skin protection

Using organic baby products on your baby’s delicate skin is important. You need skin care for the baby to protect against wetness and germs that are a part of the environment, no matter how carefully you clean and disinfect the surroundings of the baby. The key in organic baby products is that they clean and protect without the harshness and even dangerous effects of the traditional baby care products. Another positive result of the switch to organic baby products is to eliminate the use of some of the fragrances that are in many standard baby products. Most people do not realize that a substantial number of these fragrances will cause allergic reactions on baby’s skin.

Hypoallergenic products

Using organic baby products, particularly those that are hypoallergenic means you are reducing the number of harmful substances that come in contact with the delicate skin of the baby. The earlier that the baby is exposed to such substances, the more likely he or she is to develop allergic reactions to the substance. These potentially dangerous substances run the gamut from fragrances to detergents and wetting agents in the laundry products and bath products. It is far better to use organic baby products and avoid the difficulty of reading labels.

Does the Long Tail Work for Esl?

Jack Olender asked:


It was in 2004 that Chris Anderson coined the phrase The Long Tail, which contrary to some people’s expectations has nothing to do with the dog’s anatomy. Actually, it is an entirely new economic model for the media and entertainment industries. In a nutshell, the Long Tail theory claims that infinite online ‘shelf space’ and relatively easy access to potential users make it economically feasible to provide content for niche interest groups. This, in turn, should result in a growing demand for niche content. After reading Mr. Anderson’s book, I asked myself a question: Does this long tail theory work for ESL? Do we - English language teachers - get more varied resources satisfying the needs of niche learning groups?

As a teacher of English with over 20-year experience, who would like to provide his students with the most engaging learning materials, I am continually surfing the net for new resources that I can use in my lessons. Why am I looking for resources on the Internet instead of sticking to a coursebook? After all, don’t we have a great choice of coursebooks? Well, the problem is I really respect my students, - mostly adults - and I don’t find most coursebooks suitable because they are either boring, childish or outdated. Actually, most of them perfectly combine all these three characteristics. Although, we could find some good examples, such as Innovations series published by Thomson Heilne or Oxford’s English File series, the rest of what’s on offer in bookstores is rather disappointing for adult learners.

The past decade has seen a boom of online services for teachers of English; some of them are free, other charge users fees. Some of them give advice on different issues related to teaching foreign languages, other list job offers for teachers, and most of them, if not all, provide worksheets. However, the quality of what is available online varies a lot. A lot of them repeat the mistake of appealing to the lowest common denominator, have patronizing content, or have such horrible graphics that would put my students off learning instead of encouraging them in their efforts. Hence the idea for a website which would put a long tail theory to the test on the ESL ground. I wanted to create an online service where ESL teachers could find current, niche topics, controversial opinions, taboo subjects, and colloquial vocabulary. A few years of hard work and now I know that a long tail works for ESL. English-4U - ESL Lesson Plans is used by thousands of ESL teachers all over the world, it lists hundreds of worksheets on such niche subjects as: vanity sizing, shopping on Sundays, queuing, 2008 presidential elections in the USA. The topics are engaging because they do relate to students’ lives, they are current - these are the topics that your students probably discuss around the water cooler.

I hope that the long tail of ESL resources will grow longer and longer. I strongly believe that the Internet will dramatically change the way we teach and the resources we use. I think we need more materials for niche purposes: Learners are different, so are their interests, so should be the resources we use. The Internet could make it possible to adjust our teaching to individual needs of our learners.

How to Cure Acne Fast:

The first and most important thing I want you to realize is that all the lotions and creams in the world will not clear your acne.

Prescription acne creams or corporate acne drugs will not clear your acne. Remember that these drugs and prescriptions contain toxins and harsh chemicals many times that do not actually treat your acne but rather mask the acne problem instead.

Your acne symptoms are simply covered up and eventually because the root cause of the acne problem is not being treated than these creams, and lotions, and potions will stop working and your acne will return.

The root cause of acne is inflammation. So how do actually you cure acne fast you ask? By changing and controlling your diet and using some natural household products.

How to Cure Acne Fast: Control Your Diet

There are many harmful cooking oils that when you ingest into your system will cause your acne to breakout. On the reverse side there are many beneficial cooking oils will actually improve your acne condition fast when ingested because they are healthy for you.

“My friend, Ace Bill, was a slave to acne for over 12 years. He tried so many different prescription treatments and everything else you can imagine. Finally he found something that not only gave him the results he was looking for but actually cured his acne in just 3 days. Plus the treatment was all-natural.”
