So we’ve all been there, you’ve read the guide books and done everything you think you could to prepare for your trip overseas. Then you arrive on your spectacular holiday and realize you should have brought your sweater, some sunscreen, extra cash... you get the idea.

We combed our network of adventure travel operators and asked them for their expert opinions on Croatia. Below are a couple tips to keep you traveling safe in Croatia and help you prepare for your vacation (and hopefully avoid the ‘oh no!’ moment).?

Why Croatia?

What did you learn in Croatia and wish you knew before you went?? Leave us a comment...

After you have washed your face with a chemical free soap, use an applicator to dip into Scotty's face cream or you favorite face cream. Place the cream on your face and spread it all around. Massage the cream into your face gently so the skin absorbs the oils in this cream.

These oils will seal the pores and hold the natural moisture of the skin and enhance the curing effects of the cream

You can use the cream 2-3 times a day. It is best to use it after you have cleaned your face in the morning and right before you go to bed. You can also use it during noontime.

You can use Scotty's' cream under your makeup or over your makeup. It will work either way. However, it will work better on a clean face.

You will notice that when you apply the cream it will tingle in areas without sores and may sting in areas of open sores. This will pass and as it does it should reduce the itchiness of any sores.

Scotty's cream has allantoin, which will help to clear acne sores. The oils, vitamin A and E, and minerals in Scotty's will help to feed, rebuild, and rejuvenate your skin. The minerals also help to neutralize the toxic acids that have contaminated and inflamed pores on your face.

During cleansing and fasting, more acid waste may come out of your pores. This is why Scotty's cream will help you to reduce the inflammation and spread your acne.

Tree Tea Oil

To make Scotty's cream or your own cream even more powerful, you can add 5-10 drops of pure tree tea oil to a two-ounce container. You can experiment with the amount to add. You may want to add more drops to provide more tea tree oil for your face. But, do not use more than 15 drops.

Tree tea oil has been found to be effective in various skin disorders. It acts as an antiseptic, antifungal, and antibacterial. This oil helps to bring oxygen to the skin cell, which kills bacteria and fungus and helps to repair damaged skin caused by acne.

Borage Oil

There is one more thing that you can add to Scotty's face cream or your favorite acne cream that will boost its acne clearing power. This is borage oil. Borage oil contains EPA and DHA, which helps to control excessive hormones that cause the over production of sebum.

It is the adrenal glands that produce streams of androgens during puberty. These large quantities of androgens help to activate bone growth and assist in bringing forth sexual maturity.

A side effect of these androgens is the release of excess oil from the oil glands near the hair follicle. This excess gives rise to

? black heads
? white heads
? pimples
? cysts

So here's what you can do to make your face cream even more effective,

? Mix one or two capsules of Borage oil into your cream

? Do this by cutting the tip off of the Borage oil softgel and squeeze the oil into the cream

There is a new form of EPA and DHA that is available in a product called Neptune Krill Oil (NKO)

Neptune Krill Oil (NKO)

NKO is the new EPA and DHA product, which maybe better to use than Borage Oil. NKO has the omega-3, EPA and DHA in the phospholipid form, which is easier for your cells to absorb compared with Borage oil. Borage oil contains the omega-3, EPA, and DHA in triglyceride form, which is more difficult for cells to absorb.

Ranchos Carnavalescos are a contribution of an immigrant from Bahia named Hilário Jovino da Silva. They started in 1872 as working class festivity. People would dress up in costumes and perform on the parade accompanied by an orchestra of strings, ganzás, flutes, and other instruments. They were more organized than the Cordões, and gained popularity around 1911.

With the sponsorship of brewery Hanseática, the Ranchos started organized competitions. They became one of the main attractions of Rio de Janeiro's Carnival, together with the Great Societies. The parade already included a first-wing (abre alas), an orchestra,  a male and female choir, and a couple of mestre sala and porta bandeira.

The parades were halted during World War II and started again in 1947. By then the competition happened on Av. Rio Branco. The last competition of ranchos was in 1990, and the winner was a club named Decididos de Quintino.

Corso was a novely intruduced in 1907 with a parade of cars along Av. Rio Branco (then named Av. Central). They were the granddaddys of today's sophisticated floats. Revelers brought along streamers and paper confetti, plus lança-perfume, a spray of cologne water that would give you a sort of a buzz. In the 30's this celebration became so popular that almost all car-owners in the city participated! The parade started on Sunday in Botafogo and went all the way to Av. Central.

Rio de Janeiro has the best carnival in the world. Parties take place trhoughout the city. One of the best areas is ipanema, see why...

A video shot in the streets of Ipanema (Rio de Janeiro) during the carnival...

The first records of Carnival festivities in Rio de Janeiro date back to 1723. Immigrants from the Portuguese islands of Açores, Madeira and Cabo Verde introduced here the Entrudo.

The idea was basically getting everybody soaked wet. People would go out in the streets with buckets of water and limes, and everybody could be a potential victim. Even Emperors took part in the fun. There's a curious record of a woman being arrested in 1855 for throwing a lime at Dom Pedro I's escorts. Authorities frowned upon the lack of restraints of Entrudo fun, and eventually it was outlawed.

Zé Pereira was a contribution of a Portuguese shoemaker named José Nogueira de Azevedo, in the mid XIX century. On Carnival Mondays he would march in the streets with his friends playing drums, tambourines, pans, and whistles. Everybody was welcome to join the fun.

Grandes Sociedades or Great Societies was a more organized parade that debuted in 1855, with the presence of the Emperor himself. A group of eighty aristocrats in masks paraded with luxury costumes, music, and flowers. It was a big success. Democráticos, Fenianos and Tenentes do Diabo were the three most well-known groups.

Cordão Carnavalesco is a concept that got its start in 1870. There were characters like queens, kings, witches, peasants and dancers, and they performed according to the costumes they were wearing. There were also the Cordões de Velhos, where participants would wear huge papier-mâché masks and walk in an old man's gait.

The Concept of Fertility Treatment

The term fertility treatment suggests a treatment to improve the fertility or egg production in women who would like to bring a new child into the world. This term originated from a condition known as infertility, where, a man and woman who are in a loving relationship are unable to reproduce naturally. However, this is the scientific aspect; the social implications of infertility are very drastic and tend to cause major problems within a relationship. Infertility often creates high levels of stress within relationships. The inability of the female in the relationship to conceive or give birth to a healthy child, more often than not creates very stressful conditions for both partners. This results in an adverse change in behaviour in both partners and also creates great upheaval in both personal and working life of both parties.

The Situation at Present

Infertility is no longer a new issue for couples who are planning to start a family; however the progress in the field of fertility treatment has been rather sporadic and slow even by the modern standards of advanced health
treatments. The advances or lack of, are not unrelated to the ever increasing cases of infertility among people today. We are just unable to gather enough information to help us calculate the precise situation; this is because of the huge amount of cases of infertility which are never reported. However, the amount of cases of infertility in people today appears to be on the increase. Major lifestyle changes make people more susceptible to being plagued by infertility: quite often this illness, and it is an illness, is self-inflicted. The foods which many couples eat are just one problem; they do not eat enough nutritional content which is required for healthy living. Our bodies are under enormous threat from a great deal of outside influences, pollution throughout the world is on the increase, habit forming problems such as alcohol consumption and drugs, also work related stress, all of which contribute to the causes of infertility and other life changing illness.

Infertility from a Medical Point of View.

Infertility can affect either or both parties in any relationship. The treatments required for infertility, are gender specific and will vary with each patient’s case history. There are a number of tests which can be carried out, such as hysterosalpingogram or (HSG) which is an important basic test for infertility, or postcoital test (PC test) which is also known as (sims) and must be carried out within one to two days of ovulation, each of which will help to give clear analysis of the patients illness.

After the tests have been completed, the treatment for infertility will consider any and all cures, any of these can entail a number of different procedures which will depend on the requirements of the patient and the analysis gained from the tests. Drugs such as Clomid which is used to induce ovulation and is usually the first choice of any doctor in the treatment of infertility, it will also usually be suggested to the male partner to use cold packs to help cool the testicles. These are just a few basic examples, however, only a professional infertility expert can suggest exact fertility cures.

Exercise and other complimentary treatments

Apart from the use of medical fertility treatments there are also other things which will be suggested to compliment the ongoing treatment. These complimentary suggestions will be things such as, daily nutrition intake, maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stress is a major contributing factor to a lot of illness not least infertility, therefore stress must be dealt with immediately.

The Broader Outlook

Infertility is quite an emotional experience for all concerned and deserves to be closely scrutinised by everyone concerned with the subject. Many people are afraid to admit to be suffering from infertility, which is a real shame as there is treatment and support available from many outlets. Having to experience infertility treatment is quite a difficult exercise and entails quite a stressful and emotional time for both partners; the process can be made more difficult by people’s ignorance of the facts, and the lack of medical research.

Few skin conditions are as bothersome and disturbing as acne. It is a skin condition that usually begins around the time of puberty. But it can affect people of every age, gender, and race. The scientific name for the condition is acne vulgaris because acne usually strikes in plainly visible locations such as the face, neck, chest and back. Acne is an age old problem that has likely been plaguing people for centuries. But with modern times comes numerous acne products that can be used to alleviate this annoying skin condition. Other remedies include the skin rejuvenation program including 4 acne products: Oxy-Skin, Oxy-Powder, Oxy-Zap and a strong Aloe Vera concentrate available at www.acne-answers.org.

What are the best Acne Products?

Oxy-Zap: Global Healing Center's exclusive formula can be used for any kind of skin condition in order to re-oxygenate tissue topically. Great for facial application. Europeans are now using this as their #1 Anti-Aging secret for oxygen facials. It contains stabilized, ozonated, organic, cold-pressed olive oil from Italy and trace minerals. It is used for; Inactivating viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus, Stimulating the growth of new and healthy skin cells, Speeding up the healing process, cleaning and sterilizing the skin and reducing swelling and inflammation. Oxy-Zap also reduces pain and calms nerves, improves cellular function and memory, Removes harmful toxins or chemicals and prevents and helps reverse degenerative skin conditions.

Oxy-Skin: Oxy-Skin oxygenates the blood in the face and skin, which in turn energizes the cells, allowing the cells in the face or skin to regenerate at a faster than normal rate. This process is beneficial to the skin for general skin care maintenance and in helping relieve the symptoms of acne, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis, and oily skin, among other skin conditions. Oxy Skin provides circulation-stimulating properties, bio-available oxygen and vital nutrients to the cells of the face and skin. The best acne product available.

Oxy-Skin is non-allergenic with no toxic side effects. It is carefully formulated to ensure all natural organic components, free from harmful chemicals and irritants. Oxy Skin's self administered oxygen and nutrient delivery system does not require a physician's prescription. Because everyone's skin regenerates at a different rate, allow at least two weeks before expecting to see outward signs of improvement.

Our unique formula combines European technology with the latest anti-aging and fountain of youth ingredients. Cellular regeneration is the key to a healthy, youthful skin and Oxy-Skin provides a way of doing this. This formula helps to maintain the normal elasticity of collagen, upon which the outer layers of skin rest, and encourage the regeneration of new cells.

R- Pur Aloe: Aloe Juice has traditionally been touted as a digestive aid or folk remedy for arthritis, stomach ulcers, diabetes and many other conditions. By using the whole leaf process, R PUR Aloe has combined the virtues of the ancient aloe with modern research and technology to produce the optimum nutritional potency in each formula.

One of my favorite quotes from Hunter S. Thompson is “Civilization ends
at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not
always right at the top.”? I feel the same can be said for those who
venture into the wilderness.??

WorldNomads.com's roving medical and adventure expert Dr. Erik McLaughlin MD shares these practical tips to help you enjoy the North American wilderness from the top of the food chain.

Adventurers who enjoy hiking, tramping, cycling, climbing and outdoor pursuits should always be prepared for conditions they cannot control.? You can run into stronger,
nastier and faster animals than yourselves... and it's vital to know what to do.


Perhaps the most frightening animal to outdoor adventurers is the
bear.? I have a very healthy respect for bears of all types.? Common
sense should be used by those traveling through bear country and all
bears should be considered dangerous.

Bear safety when you are camping:

• Avoid camping in known bear feeding areas or movement routes
• Keep garbage away from your campsite and do not camp in areas with garbage
• Sleep in a tent and keep a flashlight inside
• Keep sleeping bags partially unzipped for a quick get-away
• Strongly consider carrying pepper spray or if properly trained, carry a firearm
• Store food properly and keep it in bear-proof containers or hung in a tree, away from you
• Cook and store food? at a site away from your sleeping area
• Try to change clothes after cooking and leave them with your food, away from your sleep area
• Do not keep food, trail mix or energy bars in your tent or pockets when you sleep

When you are hiking or traveling:

• Make lots of noise while moving so a bear is aware you are approaching
• Do not rely on bear bells alone to produce adequate noise
• Be aware of wind direction; an “upwind” bear cannot smell you
• Heavy forested areas, rushing water, rain or fog can all act to decrease sound transmission.? In these places be extra loud
• Do not approach bears or any wild animal too close, especially not for a photograph or “better view”
• If you observe signs of bears in the area (tracks, droppings or fresh prey carcasses) consider them to be close by
• Avoid berry patches, elk grounds or streams with spawning fish because bears like to eat there

If you see a bear:

• Allow the bear to see you are there. As a human, you are not one of their favorite meals
• Avoid sudden movements or yelling
• Do not climb a tree or attempt to run
• Do not stare at the bear or make eye contact; look to one side or the other
• Do not attempt to hide
• Avoid standing next to objects such as tree stumps, bushes or things
  which will cause the bear to think you are anything but “human shaped”
• Speak to the bear in a clear, calm voice to allow the bear to identify you as human

If attacked:

• Do not run, climb trees, fight back or scream
• Do not hold out an arm to ward of an attack
• Drop to the ground and cover your head, in a fetal position
• Curl into the smallest ball you can make yourself
• Interlock your hands behind your head, covering your ears and use your elbows to protect your face
• After you think the bear has left, try to move as little as possible while looking around
• Try to see which way the bear went and travel in the opposite direction

If you are attempting to carry either a firearm or pepper spray, ensure
you are properly trained to use these items.? Fatal accidents can
result from improper use or inadequate training.

Tips for avoiding other animal attacks

• Avoid sudden movements around animals
• Never pet an unknown dog
• Never pet or kiss an animal, avoid petting them on the head
• Do not reach into animal cages
• After preparing food, wash your hands before touching an animal
• Never leave children alone with animals
• Do not try to take food or toys from an animal
• Do not try to separate fighting animals

Perhaps the greatest danger from an animal attack or bite comes from
the initial trauma of the bites or scratches.? After the initial blood
loss has been controlled and first aid has been rendered, there should
be concern for infection.? Often times, antibiotics are indicated
following an animal bite, especially wild animals.?

Rabies is always a
concern and victims of animal attacks should speak with their health
professional immediately about treatment or prevention following a
bite.? Frequently, stitching or tightly closing an animal bite will
only serve to trap dangerous bacteria in the wound.

Finally, after being bitten, do not forget to check the status of your last tetanus shot.

I have a passion for classic Victorian-looking patterns, so some of the first scrapbook papers I designed featured updated versions of Victorian florals and stripes. Since that look is also perfect for weddings, I created a set of wedding scrapbook embellishments and layouts with this timeless look.

This wedding scrapbook kit was created in silver, since it's a neutral color. I've also provided three other subtle colours that coordinate well with silver. Not only will these give your scrapbook a classy look, but your photos, 3D embellishments and other memorabilia will look like they're popping right off the page because the backgrounds won't fight for attention.

I'll provide quite a few floral pages, some which have wedding illustrations on them such as a wedding dress and shoes, champagne, dual hearts and a bridal bouquet next to a pair of wedding rings. I also created a matching plain striped paper that can be used either by itself or on a page combined with the floral pattern. If you follow the classic design rule that your horizon line (the place where two papers meet) should be either one-third or two-thirds of the distance from the bottom of the page, you'll create a beautiful layout. There are two photo frames and several border embellishments that can be layered over the place where two papers meet, creating a seamless look. There is also one last paper that combines the stripe and floral patterns. If you like a truly Victorian look, you'll probably like that design.

And here is a little gallery of wedding scrapbook? layouts (click to view full size image):

It's unbelievable ... What if I told you that most of the popular beliefs about acne, are in fact myths?

Let?s take a look at some popular beliefs about acne to dispel any other rumors ...

Myth #1: Is it true that increased stress spreads acne?

Not exactly. What is true is that ultimately stress can have a very minimal or minor influence all by itself. It cannot actually cause acne, but it can influence reoccurrences of acne as stress increases the body?s creation of a substance called cortisol that in turn causes your sebaceous glands to produce increased amounts of sebum oil that can be blocked in pores. Note, however, that some medications people take when trying to deal with or treat stress can have a large influence on acne as the result of medication side effects.

Myth #2: Acne is contagious, true or false?

Not! No one can "catch" acne; it is non-communicable.

Myth #3:You'll outgrow acne, so just leave it alone - myth or truth?

This is false. Acne strikes all ages and is treatable, but shouldn?t be left alone to possibly worsen.

Myth #4: Being out in the sun helps acne, right?

In the long run, no. The sun may appear to help clear up your blemishes and redden your skin, thus lessening the overall reddish effect of the targeted acne area when it was outstanding. However, rays from the sun can cause skin damage and actually irritate skin more, worsening any existing acne problems in the process and clogging more pores as skin cells dry up and slough off quicker than normal. So use caution (and sunscreen) here!

Myth #5: Sweating helps clean out your hair follicle areas, myth or reality?

Another myth. In reality, strenuous activity can temporarily increase your body?s oil production that can actually worsen acne problem areas, causing recurrence or intensification.

Myth #6: Acne problems are directly proportionate to sexual activity, or lack thereof; true or false?

False, another myth. Just because teenagers are going through hormonal changes, does not mean that this has anything to do with acne. Both are separate issues. Same with adult acne and sex; two entirely different issues.

Myth #7: People with acne are dirty and don?t wash enough.

Not! This is another myth. Acne is the result of a build up of oil, dead skin cells and bacteria in a closed pore. Period. Dirt is not even a factor in the equation.

Myth #8: Acne is only on external issue or surface deep; i.e. people shouldn't make such a big thing out of it, myth or reality?

Myth. In reality, yes, it basically is only on your skin (and underneath the surface a little bit). However, the effects run much more deeper than that in many instances. More than 50 percent of those suffering acne problems reported negative comments and other feedback from members of society, regardless of whether or not there was any scarring left for others to see afterwards. And resulting internal depression and low self-esteem can be harmful emotionally not only short-term but over a person's lifetime. So acne can indeed be a very big issue requiring healthcare treatment and support.

Myth #9: OK, myth or reality: there is a cure for acne?

Myth. Although there is no cure at this time, there are many treatments available that do a great job. As the saying goes, "Prevention is the best medicine;" however, there is no need to suffer in silence with all the options available on the market today for all price ranges.

So there you have it ... now that you are armed with this information you can do something to treat your acne condition. Why not visit Emily Clark's website at now to get more helpful information and subscribe to her free newsletter.

Too many hotel owners are focused on short term saving rather than long term profits. A bad choice in hotel contract furniture can damage the potential to gain and retain clients, meaning that all the money you spent in building and launching the hotel will be wasted. Although choosing hundreds of pieces of furniture may be a daunting prospect, and durability is one of the main factors in your choice, you cannot afford to sacrifice style just so you save a relatively small amount of money in the present.

Here are the top five tips to consider when choosing your hotel contract furniture to optimise the number of first time and returning visitors, as well as your profits.

1) Architecture is everything. It is more than likely the case if your hotel is housed in a building with some architectural concept. If it's a graded building or has some historical features, decorate the interior of the hotel with corresponding furniture. Likewise, traditional furniture in a contemporary building will only confuse your guests.

2) Stick To A Theme. This point is similar to the first but concentrating solely on the interior decorating. If you have chosen to use classical furniture, use it throughout the hotel. Do not make the mistake of using classical furniture in the reception and then cheap, prototype furniture in the bedrooms. Guests will feel a sense of disappointment if the furniture in the reception is of a higher quality to their bedroom. Art Deco and contemporary furniture also work well in the varying rooms of a hotel.

3) Pictures Can Speak A Thousand Words. Brochures, newspapers and internet websites all contain pictures of the exterior and interior of the hotel. Even if the exterior of your hotel is palatial, pictures of cheap and poorly designed rooms will only work to turn customers away from your establishment. Choosing badly designed furniture will prevent you from booking guests. Likewise, if you use attractive furniture in your advertising and poor furniture throughout your hotel, people who do visit once will not return!

4) Make The Most Of The Services You Offer. Hotel bars and restaurants can make huge amounts of money, attracting patrons from inside and outside the hotel. That is of course, only if you have a well designed, comfortable and enticing area. Making a design statement with your bar or restaurant can earn you interest from a number of parties. Hotel reviewers, restaurant critics and lifestyle magazines all comment on the atmosphere in which they have eaten their food or enjoyed a cocktail. A feature from one of these industry professionals can give you a reputation that will attract non-hotel visitors and your profits will soar.

5) If In Doubt Ask The Experts. If you still have no idea where to begin when choosing the furniture for your hotel, take advantage of the services that a number of the best furniture suppliers offer. They can send you samples, visit you with a moving showroom and provide you with a personal designer to help you plan your design. Choosing a supplier with years of experience in the hotel contract furniture industry is the best choice that any design conscious hotel owner could make.

Acne is the most common skin disorder. Over 10% of Americans age 25 - 44 have acne. Over 85% Americans age 12 - 25 will have acne at one time or the other.

If ignored, acne can become infected, create scars, and pockmarks that become permanent on your face. I don't want this to happen to you, so I have written a series of articles on how to clear your acne.

Acne Is a Disease

Acne is a disease called seborrhea or seborrheic dermatitis. It occurs when the sebaceous glands, under your skin, become contaminated with oily toxic matter, which contains,

? dirt
? dead skin
? excess sebum oil
? acid waste
? bacteria
? toxic matter

Under normal conditions the sebaceous glands release oil that comes up through your pores onto the skin surface. This release keeps your skin moist and lubricated for protection from the environment.

If your pores on your face are not open or plugged, this creates toxic oil that cannot move out onto your skin. This results in a growth or pimple that start to increase in size as more toxic oil tries to reach the surface of your skin.

If the pore walls burst under the skin, white blood cells move in to digest the collagen around the pores. When this happens, you will have scars on your face.

To avoid having scars, you need to start an acne-clearing program before you get acne or just as soon as you see acne coming so that your pimples and back heads don't get to the point where they get severely infected and burst.

Proper skin care is the first step in dealing with acne. There are many skin care products on the market that may help with acne. Gently washing the face twice a day is the first place to start. Be sure to select a cleanser that contains salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or sulfur, as they kill the bacteria that cause acne. Gentle cleansing is important so don't wash too often or scrub the face with harsh cleansers.
