Why Dogs Bow?

|


Your dog wants to play? The bow of the game is the first sign ...

In addition to the barking and other behavior indicative of the key ways in which dogs communicate with other dogs and humans is through body language.

Both the obvious details as those most hidden are easily understood by others who speak the language dogs canine.

For humans, however, is not as easy to understand the body language girl milk a dog unless you've been surrounded by dogs or are a keen observer of their behavior.

Sometimes, however, with only a little information and instruction, can be easy to discover when a dog is having fun.

Beyond the famous tail-a sign that worries most of us know how to recognize, there are other postures that indicate a dog is ready to play and have fun, and it is at this point that we reached the bow of the game.

The bow is posture when adopting a dog down the front of your body towards the floor and let the legs slightly spread.

At first glance it might seem that the dog was stretched, but if you consider that their tail is moving frantically from side to side, then you will realize that it is more than just a stretch.

Next to the movement of the tail, the dog's ears are erect, mouth open, and very possibly could be able to see her protruding tongue.

This pose foretells that the time has come to play, and can often seen in puppies and active dogs.

If ever you take your dog to a dog park, you will see often this position, which means that the dogs are invited each other to play.

Do not believe, however, that because you are the owner of the dog-human and thus the bow-game is not for you.

In fact, dogs often take this position also to express its intention to play with humans. If the person accepts the invitation, then jumps and the hunt could begin immediately.

Of course, for security reasons, your dog needs to be trained in obedience, knowing not to bite and recognize the power of its jaws, and be friendly.

If your dog has a tendency to play violently, then practice safer activities such as fetching the stick or frisbee.

And for those who have no problem rolling on the floor with their dogs, know that humans may also mimic the bow of the game.

This will excite a dog that wants to play, and usually accept the invitation and the fun will start.

Acne and Exercise

|


Moderate exercise is actually good for your skin. It helps you maintain a healthy body and manage your stress levels, too. If you find your acne is aggravated by regular exercise, then you may want to examine your routine. What do you wear? Where do you go? How hard do you work? Exercise-related acne is usually caused by something you put on your body rather something you do with it. Remove these outside factors, and you may put an end to your workout breakouts. Here are just a few things to watch for.

Acne & Exercise - Make-up. When exercising, wear as little make-up as possible. Even oil-free and non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) cosmetics can clog pores if worn during heavy exercise. When you’re done working out, wash as soon as possible.

Acne & Exercise - Sunscreen. If your regimen takes you outdoors, always wear sunscreen. While acne may improve slightly after brief periods in the sun, studies show that prolonged exposure actually promotes comedones (clogged pores) and, of course, sun damage. Some kinds of acne medication make skin more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is even more important. When choosing a sunscreen, look for products that are oil-free and have a protection factor of at least SPF 15 for both UVA and UVB rays. Like make-up, sunscreen can travel across the skin’s surface and lodge in the pores — so wash immediately after working out.

Acne & Exercise - Clothing. If you’re prone to body acne, avoid garments made exclusively with lycra or nylon. Why? Some synthetic fabrics can trap the heat and moisture against your skin, creating a fertile breeding ground for the bacteria that contribute to acne. For moderate exercise, your best bet is lightweight, loose-fitting cotton, or a lycra-cotton blend. Natural fabrics allow the skin to breathe, and loose garments are less likely to cause friction. If you’re exercising vigorously and working up a good sweat, however, you may want to try some of the new fabrics designed to wick moisture away from your skin.

Acne & Exercise - Equipment. Some people are more likely to get acne or have their lesions aggravated in the areas affected by sports equipment. The best defense against friction-related breakouts is a good fit — make sure your helmet doesn’t slide around on your forehead, or your wetsuit isn’t too tight under the arms. You can also curb equipment-triggered breakouts by lining your helmet with a layer of soft, washable cotton fabric; it's a great use for those old t-shirts, too. And no matter what the sport, it’s always a good idea to keep your equipment clean and dry when not in use.

Acne & Exercise - Moisture. Mom was right: You should get out of those wet clothes! No matter how you get your exercise — treadmill, trail, tennis court, or whatever — don’t sit around in your sweaty clothes or wet bathing suit when you’re done. If you can, shower off immediately and change into dry clothes before driving home. If this isn’t possible, change into dry clothes and wipe down as well as you can. When toweling sweat off your face, always use a clean towel, and blot gently rather than wipe. Vigorous wiping can irritate your skin, driving make-up and sunscreen deeper into the pores.

Acne & Exercise - Showering. Again, it’s best to shower immediately after working out. You may want to use a medicated exfoliant cleanser, but always be gentle with your skin. Scrubbing harder isn’t going to make you any cleaner, or make your acne go away — and it may actually irritate existing lesions or promote the development of new ones. If you can't shower right away, you can still curb breakouts by wiping down with medicated pads; keep a few in your gym bag just in case.

So keep up the good work! A healthy exercise program is an integral part of your overall health; and a healthy body is more likely to have healthy skin. Just keep an eye on the various factors that accompany your regimen, and try to remove the acne triggers — you’ll be on your way to breakout-free workouts.

The difficult time to introduce your new "friend" to your children and how to make it easier for all

"Meet my girlfriend"

If suddenly meet someone and the relationship appears to be special, as responsible parents we know we must prepare to report the current situation the most important people in our lives: our children.

Knowing someone when you're a single parent can be complicated, but it's definitely a child's play when compared with the trauma of having to tell your children.

Besides fears of your children to be replaced, you must also take account of the fear generated by the possibility of having a wicked stepmother.

Such fears are, from the perspective of an adult, of course unfounded, but your children are legitimate and need to be addressed.

For example, you could say she has a great sense of humor who likes to have fun telling you about his daily life: "You know what Laura told me in the office today?

It was a really funny comment. He told me long ago observed the way I walk and I do like a monkey. " Doing this will prepare the boys emotionally and make it easier to find when face to face.

So they will know her in some predetermined level of confidence to her.

* Keep your family traditions

Do not start canceling family traditions for the simple fact of having met someone. These traditions are very important for children, and are those that tend to produce the most positive impacts on their lives.

Not only the kids remember these traditions for the rest of their lives but also tend to spend their own children the torch of the same traditions that you or perhaps your parents or grandparents have invented.

Do not gripe about family traditions. However, to make the necessary arrangements to include a new participant.

New times women have shown a surge in public space, which could eventually affect their relationship, if your husband is very traditional or conservative ...

For many years, the typical Western couple consisted of the man in the public space, ie the workplace, and women in private, that is the home and children.

However, times have changed, and today is not at all uncommon to find couples where both are, or even just her, who are active outdoors. And in many instances, women are responsible for achievement and success that undoubtedly demolish the traditional roles within the couple.

What, then, the attitude of men to the reversal of traditional roles in the couple?

As experts say, age plays a key role in the acceptance of living with a successful woman. While most young people seem to accept almost naturally the possibility that the roles are exchanged constantly, and in some cases they must be "masters of the house," the more adults are certain difficulties in adapting to these changes.

Indeed, where most adult couples, it has become apparent that many men seem to experience a decrease in its capabilities, strengths, and even sexual force when the women in the workplace than, quite possibly because they have been bred from very small to the conception of male identity that had just overcome relationship with and care for women.

But the truth is that since several years, female gender has been gaining on her own merits "-spaces in the past were exclusively reserved for men, and consequently, the man began to play the same positions of power.

Thus, many adult men are presented with the difficulty of having to confront a new reality with a mindset formed with other types of values and identity.

According to experts, in most cases these difficulties can be resolved with dialogue. In fact, while a woman can have brightness and weight in the public domain, could nevertheless have shortcomings in other areas, in which man would return to the role of "keeper" of his partner. Through dialogue, these points can be made sight of both, which would make them realize what is necessary to continue to each other.

Often, in cases where there is no dialogue and the man lives with envy or jealousy place to have ever achieved, by dint of hard work, "his wife, she may feel because of their successes, and not enjoy the same, or even throw them overboard. This situation undoubtedly have an impact on the couple's relationship, and sooner or later undermine the link.

Therefore, physicians say, is key in cases of couples with successful women will live the relationship as a cooperative organization, where both men and women have very clear that her success is closely related to motivation and stimulation that he dispenses.

The real man insurance

However, men more sure of themselves and their masculinity, are those that can accept without success and overcoming problems of his wife, because they know that it has no connection with love, affection and care which can dispense between yes.

Indeed, in many cases, these men feel a great personal pride in the success of your partner, because it makes them feel very well knowing that a woman living with important and protagonist, and are aware that much of its success has relationship with them.

In addition, men who can assume no difficulty motivation and success of their partners, know that it can be very beneficial for them and their family from the time their children will learn to accept this exchange of roles from very small , and in the case of girls, encouraged to follow the footsteps of their mothers.

They, in turn, will take away the responsibility of being the sole or main breadwinner of the household, and give them more space to devote to their children.
