Title: Know your sunscreen for a healthy skin.

Preventing skin cancer is better than treating it. An SPF (sun protection factor) rating 15 – filters 93 percent of UBV (Short-wave rays) SPF- 30 filters 97 percent of UBV and SPF- 50 filters 98 percent of UBV. Also when choosing sunscreen, look for protection against UBV and long-wave UVA rays (there is no SPF-type measurement for UVA protection). Look for sunscreens with avobenzone, oxybenzone, mexoryl, zinc oxide or titanium oxidide as an active ingredient.
Note that sunscreen is best used to protect your skin when you can’t avoid the sun, not to extend your time in the sun, and how well it safeguards depends on how you apply it. 20 to 30 minutes before going outdoors apply 2 tbs or 1 oz to cover your entire body and reapply every 2 hours after swimming or getting sweaty, (even when cloudy) no matter what SPF you use. Extra care should be taken to protect infants and children – excessive sun exposure to the sun during childhood has been liked to high risk of skin cancer.

Title: GREED IS FEAR IN DISGUISE

Fear and greed are what is most commonly referred to as what moves markets to extremes; however, it is probable that greed is just another form of fear, the fear that we will not prosper as much as others. In the end, only fear is what produces the extremes in markets.

Title: Simple Meditation

MEDITATION is simple. PRECISELY because it is simple, it looks difficult. Your mind is accustomed to dealing with difficult problems, and it has completely forgotten how to respond to the simple things of life.
