Why do doctors wear green masks while conducting an operation?

Green is easier on the eyes and also makes sharp contrast with blood. You can also see white or light blue clothes in some cases.





The fact that they need to wear a mask is almost obvious I think. Imagine sneezing into a patients brain or heart for example. Not fun...





As a matter of fact, surgeons are even encouraged to shave regularly, because Staphylococcus can colonize beards and contaminate surgical wounds.Why do doctors wear green masks while conducting an operation?
So they don't spread there germs.Why do doctors wear green masks while conducting an operation?
Because otherwise they would seem like a butcher...
The masks arent only green. They are just masks to keep them from getting infected, and to keep them from spitting or infecting their patient in a sterile enviroment.
To prevent anything from entering their mouth (fluid, blood, etc.) and also to prevent any illness/ bacteria from getting on the person being operated. This is because they are opening up the person and exposing the internal organs and there is no line of defense for the body at this point.
because of germs
They keep airborne germs from being inhaled.
previously it was used green, but no matter now they r using blue, white etc. as s symbolically it shows clean %26amp; green,actually masks are used to protect themselfs from infections.

How do i identify IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) and their default subnet masks?

I do not know how well you understand computers, so all i would say is, don't worry about IPv6, it's a tech for the future and does not have any real use yet.





In case of IPv4, the default subnet depends on the class of IP address used. For instance, if you use an ideal home router setup, the IP looks something like ';192.1xx.xxx.xxx'; This is a class C address and so it's default subnet will be 255.255.255.0





If you expected something more in detail, follow up and let me know how much you already know! :)

Well, the above 2 answers are excellent! Kudos guy's! saw them after i posted this one!!





I had refrained from boggling you with the above details!How do i identify IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) and their default subnet masks?
For what do you need to determine an IP address and using which operating system? Provide some more information to get a real answer!How do i identify IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6) and their default subnet masks?
You can check it through some sites.





examples are





www.whatismyipaddress.com
Another article I did to compare IPV4 and IPV6.





Ipv4 vs. Ipv6





Ipv4 is the fourth version of Internet protocol, but the first one to be widely deployed. It uses a 32 bit addressing and allows for 4,294,967,296 unique addresses. Ipv4 has four different class types, the class types are A, B, C, and D. An example of Ipv4 is 207. 142. 131. 235. The ipv4 uses a subnet mask because of the large numbers of computers used today.





The subnet mask helps reduce the number of unique IP given to companies, corporations and so on. An example of a subnet mask is a company. A architectural company is given one ip address to use in their company. The IP that they are given is the class C addresses, 192. 182. 162. 0. However, the employees want to send information about the plan to a fellow employee. The default subnet mask is 255. 255. 255. 0 this default is used so that people can send instant messages to each other without downloading programs such as MSN messenger. The 0 in the subnet mask allows you to have 16 different networks having 14 computers per network allowing you to have a total of 224 computers in the company. You can create these networks by modifying the 0 the only number you can modify in the network. In the binary version of the 0 of the subnet mask it looks like this 0000. You can modify the numbers from 0000 鈥?1111. Those numbers will represent your network, you will then need numbers for your computer. When adding the numbers for the computer your IP would look like this in tens. 255.255.255.0-0 the zero after the dash represents your computer number. The way you can modify the number is the same as the network number, the difference is that you can only the numbers 0001-1110 in other words you cannot have all ones or all zeros. For further reference there is a diagram in the next page.





Ipv6 is the next in the advancement of IP鈥檚. Although it is version 6 it will probably be the next widely deployed Internet protocol. Compared to the Ipv4 which allows for only 4,294,967,296 unique addresses, the Ipv6 that uses a 128-bit system will hold 340-undecillion (34, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000) this number is so vast that there are more unique ip addresses than stars in the universe, as we know it. However, the Ipv6 will not come out till at least 2025 in because they need time to fix the bugs in the protocol. An example of Ipv6 is:


207. 142. 131. 235. 207. 142. 131. 235. 207. 142. 131. 235. 207. 142. 131. 235.





The reason we may need to switch from Ipv4 to Ipv6 is because of the population of the world. The rate at which the world鈥檚 population is growing is nothing to look down at. Also in the future all vehicles will probably be networked in order to use Onstar or other navigational devices and those need IP鈥檚 too. So eventually we would need more unique IP鈥檚 than the number we have now.
Try to identify information's about your IP address and PC on:





http://www.ipaddresslocation.org


http://www.find-ip-address.org
To do this, we need to convert the first octet to binary, and look for the position of the first zero.





Class A: 0xxx xxxx 0-127


Class B: 10xx xxxx 128-191


Class C: 110x xxxx 192-223


Class D: 1110 xxxx 224-239 - Multicast


Class E: 1111 xxxx 240-255 - reserved





The word normally used instead of default is natural mask,

Eggs:D


They help tone and make your skin firmer and softer.


Michelle Phan has a video on it.


You separate the egg white and egg yolk, beat the egg white till it is nice and foamy/frothy, and apply on skin, then it will be ready once you can't smile(try to smile and if you can't it's done) rinse off with warm water, then this step is optional but take a tiny bit of the egg yolk and apply to skin, it is a natural moisturizer, then do the smile test again, rinse off, pat face dry with a towel and apply your moisturizer(not egg yolk).


And you are done!

Do clay based face masks work?

I use clay based face masks once a week and well are they actually any good??





when is the best time to use then, morning or night??





Do clay based face masks work?
yes i believe that they are very good. I personally use them at night and afterwards use a natural organic facial exfoliator with very little mico beads. they work although i use them once a month.. hope this helps





=]Do clay based face masks work?
It depends on your skin type and what you are hoping the mask to achieve.





Generally mud-based masks tend to try out your skin, so they're good if you have quite greasy skin and/or are prone to spots as they suck out the impurities.





I have very dry skin and so the mud masks tend to just make my skin feel uncomfortably dry and flaky.





The most important thing to remember is to remove all of the mask - if you leave a trace of it, it may continue to dry out your skin - and then apply a good moisturiser afterwards.





Also, I would advise exfoliating before you apply the clay mask so the mask can act more deeply.
i have no idea,





BUT clay is fun if you like making pots (wouldn't recommend eating it, seriously)





i would make a pot in the afternoon, that way i am awake
Love the person you are stop using these facial things no need all woman are beautiful no matter what they look like, yet they always try doll themselves up. No need :)

  • Has Sleep Apnea but is terrified of oxygen and gas masks!!!?

    My friend has really bad sleep apnea, and she wants to do something about it, but she is absolutely terrified of oxygen masks, or anything of that sort. what can she do?Has Sleep Apnea but is terrified of oxygen and gas masks!!!?
    There are some that are very small - just tubes up the nose. Frankly, I think these would be more uncomfortable than the full nose mask ones, but if she has a phobia about something covering her face, maybe this would be better for her.





    Apnea is really hard on your heart. Left untreated, it can take like 20-30 years off of her life. Maybe these facts will influence her to make an effort to overcome her fears?Has Sleep Apnea but is terrified of oxygen and gas masks!!!?
    I am clausterphobic and have sleep apnea. I spent a lot of time with the RRT. I sat up and watched TV with the mask close to my face at a low setting. We worked really slow. I have tried all kinds of masks. Some people like the nasal programs. They also make an oral mask. They make dental devices that work for some people.





    Visit sleepnet.com for their message boards.





    Best wishes.
    Ask the Respiratory Therapist who set it up for her. I'm sure he/she's dealt with that problem before. Just call the company who delivered it and ask for the RT to come by and teach you how to use it.Most of the companies have RT's on the staff just for that purpose. He/she can show you what your options are.

    I have very oily skin and often get breakouts on my face. Are there any homeade masks I can use?

    The best, cheapest and quickest way to rid yourself of blemishes is... a mask of Milk of Magnesium. Keep the bottle in the refrigerator. If you have a pimple or two just dab it on. Washing your face with Cetafil (at the grocery store), a weekly scrub with damp baking soda, and occassionly use hydrogen peroxide as an astringent works wonders, too. I have been doing this for many years and what a huge difference it has made.I have very oily skin and often get breakouts on my face. Are there any homeade masks I can use?
    you can put toothpaste on the breakouts and you can make a mask out of rosemary and water. hope this helpsI have very oily skin and often get breakouts on my face. Are there any homeade masks I can use?
    well wat i do is mix crushed cucombers and tomatoes and a little bit of oil
    An aspirin mask will help a lot with oily skin. Crush 4-6 reg. uncoated aspirin in a little bit of water (the aspirin will just dissolve when you add the water). Spread on face, wait about 10 mins (or less at first in case you're sensitive) and rinse. You can add a little honey to it for dryer skin.

    Why do some people in asian countries wear surgical masks while walking around?

    SARS.Why do some people in asian countries wear surgical masks while walking around?
    I don't know if this is what you're talking about... but I know there is one philosophy that goes to extremes to avoid killing others or causing pain to others. People who observe this philosophy wear masks to prevent the breathing in of gnats and other small insects, so as to not unnecessarily kill another being.Why do some people in asian countries wear surgical masks while walking around?
    Well first of it can be a cultural thing.


    Like in Japan for example people walk around with surgical masks because they are sick and cannot afford to spend the day at home and DO NOT want to risk spreading the disease to other people. Its infection control and protects people around them from catching the disease/virus or whatever.


    Another reason may be due to the fumes and air pollution, protecting ur airways to and from work and where ever you are going.
    A number of different reasons.. to keep from spreading illness, to prevent illness and to filter pollution. When you are in a very populated area it is much easier to get sick and spread germs. That is why there is more sickness in the winter because people are more together in tighter spaces.
    its because parts of asia (china) are going through their industiral revolution, Japan got nucked they have different sutff in the air, but they wear the masks to make sure they don't get sick or get others sick.
    because of the quality of the air, but mostly because they're sick and don't want to spread it. you find it often in japan.
    Sick people often does that in Asia, they didn't want to pass around. It's an etiquite.
    Because they are sick, and don't want to pass around their cold or whatever they caught...
    Because they may have the flu or something that may be contagious. They wear a mask out of courtesy to others.
    Pollution from all the greenhouse gasses produced by factories and cars and stuff.
    pollution and smog.
    air borne diseases?

    but you should also try Noxzema, they sell it at stores %26amp; its not that expensive %26amp; the consistancy is just like a mask %26amp; it has curdles in it. Its reallllly good.


    :)Can sum1 tell me sum recipes 4 @ home facial masks?!?
    well a really simple one is just heated honey you put it on for 5 minutes and it makes your skin softer:) another is a mask from an egg you separate the egg and the yolk and put the yolk on the points of your t zone- problem zones and the rest of the egg on the rest of your face and let it dry wash it off and that makes your skin tighter! and the last one isnt a mask its just a easy way to clear out your pores, boil water put it in a bowl and add a few drops of some kind of essencial oil(lavendar is nice) and put a towel over your head and keep your face steaming for about 10 minutes then splash your face with cold water :) hope i helped

    Home made face masks/exfoliator/face cleaner/pimple get ridder?

    Is there any easily home made recipes for the above things? Oh, and recommend any products for small pimples that don't seem to go away.Home made face masks/exfoliator/face cleaner/pimple get ridder?
    You must use oil %26amp; soap free cleanser. I recommend Neutrogena or Aveeno. Follow this with an aspirin scrub: Melt two or three UNCOATED aspirins in a cupped hand, using a few drops of water. They will dissolve almost instantly; Aspirin has salicylic acid, one of the best acne fighters out there. Rub your hands together and then gently but firmly exfoliate your face for about a minute. You will feel a mild sting, but that's OK. Rinse thoroughly.





    Pat your face dry and then use an ALCOHOL free toner. If there is any alcohol in the toner (or in any of the products you use) your face will produce more oil and you don't want to do that if acne is the problem.





    Finally apply an OTC acne medication with salicylic acid. Neutrogena and Aveeno both make excellent ones. You should also use an eyecream to prevent wrinkles and keep the delicate area under the eyes properly moisturized.





    You should steam your face once a week, to purge your pores. Open two tea bags (one chamomile, one peppermint) into a large pot and fill about 2-3 inches with water. Bring this to a boil and boil until the water turns dark (about 3 minutes). Carefully pour the water into a microwave/heat safe bowl and place bowl on a potholder on the table. With a towel draped over your head put your face over the bowl and steam your face. Stay as long as you can, but don't get too close to the water or you'll burn yourself. You should steam your face for at least 5 minutes. Follow this with an oatmeal, honey and egg white mask (mix two egg whites with 2 tablespoons of oatmeal and one tablespoon of honey). The oatmeal and egg whites will help dry the skin of excess oil, while the honey provides essential mositure. Let the mask dry for about 15 minutes, rinse with warm water first and then finish off with cold water to close your pores.





    Put on your acne medication and sun screen. Aveeno Positively Radiant is an excellent oil free sunscreen and moisturizer. You MUST wear sunscreen... no matter what your skin type. At night, skip the sun screen and just use acne medication.





    Now, if you want to really see some magic, order Joppa mineral makeup. It is a pure and natural makeup that is good for your skin. I wear it at night time for its healing properties. It has kaolin clay which is healing and therapeutic for all skin types. You can order an inexpensive sample and see for yourself. If you decide to go this route, you would apply it over your acne medication at night time. You can also mix it with your sunscreen in the daytime, for a lovely, natural glow. No... I don't work for them... I just love the stuff.





    You must be consistent and wash your face as I've described day and night, whether you wear makeup at night. You should never go to bed without washing your face, as your pores get filled with grim and pollution and you must wash away the dead cells that accumulate everyday. If you find that you're sometimes too sleepy to be bothered washing your face, get a pack of Clearasil Facial Wipes with salycilic acid. They're pre-moistened wipes that do a good job of quickly riding your face of gunk... but try to wash the ';old fashioned'; way whenever possible.


    If you do this skin care routine on a regular basis, you'll find that those occasioanl zits will be far and few between. For the ones that do pop up, dissolve an uncoated aprin in the tiniest amount of water to make a paste and using a Q tip, dit it on the pimple. Let it dry and leave it on over night. The zit should be greatly reduced, if not completely gone, by the next day. DO NOT POP YOUR PIMPLES! Good luck!Home made face masks/exfoliator/face cleaner/pimple get ridder?
    For pimples try a dab of toothpaste or witch hazel (you can get this at any pharmacy)
    1 chopped tomatoe


    1 tbsp instant oatmeal


    1 tbsp lemon juice





    leave on 10 mins


    if not consistant enough add more instant oatmeal


    rinse with warm water
    You can use oatmeal, egg whites as face masks and sugar and oil or sand and oil for an exfoliator
    milk of magnesnesia drys stuff up and egg whites tightens
    use neutrogena face wash and mix vanillia yogurt and uncooked otmeal for a face cleansing mask
    You can check the source for different recipes and pick something which suits you.

  • Why Did Michael Jackson Make his kid's wear Masks?

    Paris, Prince, And Blanket are always wearing masks or veils or outfits that cover their faces. There are few public pictures of them without them. Why is this?





    ps. I was so sad when he died. I hope the kids will be okay and stay with a good relative who will take good care of themWhy Did Michael Jackson Make his kid's wear Masks?
    Mostly for protection so they wouldn't be hassled by the media...





    Personally I think it had something to do with them being pure white, because clearly they would be half-cast with having MJ as a dad...I don't think they are biologically his.





    R.I.P MJ


    xWhy Did Michael Jackson Make his kid's wear Masks?
    he didn't want his kids in the lime light and the papyri was always trying to take pictures of his kids i think he was getting tried of covering his kids face and maybe they didn't want to wear the mask sometimes it seem like it could have been hot sometimes wearing it mj is going to be deeply miss R.I.P. MJ
    Protect them from the press/avoid the press(if he was disguised too or had his face hidden)? Dunno, I didn't know about that till recently and don't know the details, just a few obvious(to me) thoughts. Obviously backfired...assuming we have seen their faces? Have we? %26gt;.%26gt;
    It was first, to hide them from the media and Papparazzi and also to make sure that, as they saw his dad, they would think that it was alright to have that mask on as a piece of clothing, attire or something.


    This way, the kids would not feel weird and would not take it off.
    He didn't want his kids to be harassed by the media in the same way he was. If he covered their faces they wouldn't be recognized while out in public going about their everyday lives.
    because he said he didn't want the poperotsiy to bother them when they went out he wanted them to have a normal child hood is what he said..
    maybe so anonymity would allow them the childhood he was unable to have since he was so recognizable
    so they could be superheroes!!!! kidding. im gonna have to agree with answerer number two.

    Don't know!

    The only hair type mask i have used is the Nexxus hair repair. I had color lifted at a salon and it was not done right so i had to go back. the second treament left my hair dried out and split. My friends mom works at a salon in PRico and she told me to go to Walmart and buy this NExxus Hair repair its 13.00 and you use it once every 2 weeks or before you have chemicals applied and it works wonders. so depending on what you need a mask for if its the same prob i had. definately try this.Are those hair masks you can buy, good?
    They are indeed :)


    If you buy a good quality one !Are those hair masks you can buy, good?
    yes. there is a great one called henna hair mask and you can get this for 拢1 at Bodycare or Superdrug. i usually wash my hair lightly towel dry and smother my hair in the stuff. then blast the hairdryer for 5 mins then rinse! this also works with any good conditioner!
    yes! Loreal Kerastase mask is very good for dry/limp hair. Usually they stay on for about ten minutes, but I sometimes just leave it in if the hair feels very dry and dont wash it out.





    Hope it works for you as well as it does for me.
    Yes,

    hi!


    well,avocado is great,simply mash it to a pulp (obviously once the stone has been removed) %26amp; apply to your face, it's fine to leave on as long as you feel necessary,then simply wash off.If you put it on after using a warm flannel to open tthe pores,it will be much more effective at penetrating the skin.


    Another great home treatment for dry,irritated or stressed skin is milk.Apply the milk to a muslin cloth,or a cotton wool pad %26amp; simply bathe your face with it.If the smell of the milk is not something you want to put up with,then after at least 15 minutes,simply wash your face.

    How many masks have you worn today?

    To know this, one is very close.How many masks have you worn today?
    I wore a total of four masks today.





    I often wear the Clown mask. It's the mask that hides my fear and salty tear drops. I cry from within and not out because of the other masks. I don't want to see their unhappy, disapproving Death masks.





    When I look out alone into the sky at night on the Hawaiian beach, I wear my Star of Wishes Mask. I gaze at the shooting stars, and want to be one of them. My Star of Wishes Mask is where I make my wishes upon, and when they are answered, I switch it over to my Iridescent Crescent Moon mask.





    My Iridescent Crescent Moon mask is the winking light of the beach on the darkest of night. It's the mask were I light the path of people walking along the beach, so they don't walk into water accidently and get swept away by the ferocious sea current into the pitch black sea below.





    The Sun Mask is when I wake up in the morning after a night's slumber. It reminds me that today is the first day of the rest of my life. It is a good Omen saying, I am here to offer very warm embraces. So soak in some sunshine if you can.How many masks have you worn today?
    A strange question to be asking in the religious category. . . as religion teaches forgiveness compassion love and humilty. Just be yourself . . .
    Only one so far, my Brave face --I have a self inflicted condition which will take some time to disperse.
    (Hmm...what is Cosmic up to now?)





    I have worn too many to keep count. I plan on wearing many more in the future. I understand the significance of masks and I understand that the mask is not the face. We are, after all, players on the world stage and masks are communication devices. Consider the Native American Shaman. The best masks are all-natural and custom-made in the image of our own uniqueness. I don't use masks to hide behind. If I want to hide, I simply won't show up.

It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen, -the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives, - I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, ';Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves.';





    Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me.





    And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, ';He is a madman.'; I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, ';Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.';





    Thus I became a madman.





    And I have found both freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.





    But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief
    I wear the guise of comedy.
    None.


    To be confident with this is to be closer. x
    one i am looking faithfull today.
    I like of to think of it as Polymorpism in OOP in java .net etc.......one object many roles not masks...

    Citrus Skin Remedy


    You need lemon juice and orange juice. Mix the two juices together and apply all over your face in an upward and outward motion. Wash off after 10 minutes.





    Cool as a Cucumber Yogurt Facial


    Puree 1/2 cucumber in blender mix in 1 Tbsp plain yogurt, apply to face. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse well.





    Pineapple Olive Oil Mask


    In a blender, combine 4 large pineapple chunks or 1/2 cup canned, drained pineapple and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Blend until almost smooth. Apply mixture to face with fingertips and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse face with warm water and pat dry.





    Tomato Remedy


    Blend 1 tomato, 1 tsp. lemon juice, and 1 Tbsp instant style oatmeal until just combined, in a paste. Apply to blemished skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay in place. Leave in place 10 minutes. Remove with damp washcloth.





    Facial Glowing Mask


    Get 1 egg yolk and add 1 table spoon of honey and warm milk of each quantity. Mix all together and apply on face and neck. Leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.





    Honey Mask


    Massage a small amount of slightly heated honey onto skin and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Be sure to wash off all the honey with lukewarm water or the honey left will clog your pores, resulting in more acne. Wheat germ may be added for its abrasive action, protein and nutrients.





    Banana Mask


    Peel the skin off and mash the whole banana. Apply on all over your face and relax for 30 minutes. Then rinse using warm water.









    I found this recipe in CosmoGirl (It's from the Spa on Broadway Salon in Myrtle Beach, SC):





    Ingredients:


    2 tbsp powdered milk


    2 tbsp cooled chamomile tea





    Mix the ingredients together to make a paste. Apply to your face or other areas where your skin is dry. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.





    It doesn't really make alot, so use any amount, as long as it is equal parts of powdered milk and tea.
    honey mixed with a bit or oatmeal should be moisturizing, although it gets real sticky

    What are some good home remedies for hair masks?

    I prefer the oils like olive grape canola. I stay away form the mayonnaise and/or the egg treatments.





    The problem for me is the eggs tend to coagulate if the rinsing water is too hot leaving a breakfast of scrambled eggs in your hair.





    Apply the oil (olive is my choice but any table oil will do in a pinch) Wrap your head in something like plastic wrap a disposable shower cap etc. Apply heat for about 30 minutes. Then shampoo out. I always add a bit extra of alcohol to my shampoo to strip the excess oil that did not get absorbed by the hair.

    Good facial masks for blackheads on your nose?

    help me! plz!Good facial masks for blackheads on your nose?
    Go to health store, get 5 dollar pint of indian healing clay. Make mud the consistency of paste from it. Use equal parts water and apple cider vinegar. You can put on most of your face, except eyelids, lips. Maybe use 1 part apple cider vinegar and 2 parts water if you find that your skin is too sensitive for more vinegar than that.





    Put mud on your face, including your nose. Leave it on until completely dry, keeping your face as still as possible the entire time. This should take 45 minutes to an hour.





    When mask is completely dry, gently wash it off with warm water and a wash cloth. Easiest to do this in the bathtub, so plan to take a bath directly after your mud facial.





    When your face is clean and you are readyt o get out of the bath, use a water based moisturizer on your face. Or you can even use coconut oil or olive oil if you want to. I have used each of them before, with no adverse effects.





    When your facial comes off, your face may feel like it was slightly sunburned, and your skin may be more reddish than usual. It will pass in a day or two. It is caused mostly by the apple cider vinegar. It gives you a safe and natural chemical peel. But it is very important to never use more than one part vinegar to one part water, or you may get a little blister here or there from it.





    And do not ever put the mud on your lips, or eyelids. The first time I used it, I got some on a small bit of my top lip. I got a couple of tiny blisters there. There are no scars from them, and they were tiny, but no on wants to have to explain blisters on the mouth...





    This facial is supposed to be good for drawing junk out of the pores, but it can have a drying effect on the skin unless you use a moisturizer afterwards. You can safely use this facial at least once a week.Good facial masks for blackheads on your nose?
    Here is something you don't need a fancy mask or expensive skin treatment to do. It is also the most effective and inexpensive way to remove blackheads from your nose.





    You would need:


    masking tape(the Grey one works best)


    mirror


    stopwatch





    basically if u stick the masking tape to your nose fully all around it'll stick on to the blackheads. Use the mirror to perfect your masking tape on your nose. I guarantee you you ll feel no pain since there is no hair on the surface of your nose.


    Take it off after 5 minutes.





    Be surprised how much more effective masking tape removes blackheads than little strips of scotch tape with better packaging.
    Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. It works very well...and isn't very expensive. I've used it since the 70s and love it! Most drugstores carry this brand...or you can order online!
    elmers white glue
    Biore strips...had at any store...they work...
    Queen Helene Masque, Mint Julep. It's cheap and it was designed by a dermatologist. I always use it for blackheads and it works great. Plus on drugstore.com it has great ratings. You can also find it at any drugstore.
    For quick results, I use Biore Blackhead nose strips. You can visibly see all the dirt that has been released from your pores. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully, because if your nose isn't wet enough, the strip will not work completely. Also, once you have removed it, wash your face with cool water to flush out and close up the opened pores.


    Good luck!
    I like biore's nose strips. They aren't a mask, but they really do work at getting blackheads out and make your pores smaller with continued use.

    masks i don't know, but Noxzema works wonders

    seems a little pointless.POLL: Why exactly do the Ninja Turtles wear masks?
    Ninjas wanna be all stealth like under that lil mask of protection. Cuz they think people wont know who they are or what they are really up to. LMFAOPOLL: Why exactly do the Ninja Turtles wear masks?
    I cant remember where I read it but I herd master splinter gave them headbands to tell the difference between them. so purple mask means donny.


    But then I remembered the old TMNT all wore red bandanas. but many ninjas wear masks and they are ninjas so its a ninja thing lol.


    or maybe they like like wearing something!
    They just have a small one on the eyes. Maybe to differentiate themselves. All have a different colour. When I was younger, I remembered them by the colour of their masks.
    That's what you think.





    Half of them are escapees from Top Chef's Kitchens %26amp; they want to keep it that way. Chef's take it very personally when the the food crawls away.
    Turtles aren't exempt of late acne breakthroughs.
    so that you wont know which giant talking turtles they are, they have to have a secret identity after all
    Maybe they think it makes them invisible.



    they think the masks gives them super powers. :)

    pollution-and-diseasesDoes pollution masks protect us from swine flu and other diseases?
    There are grades of these types of masks. You need the grade that will keep bacteria and other things out after you breathe into it and gets moist. Moisture is what makes the difference. Allot of the masks available OTC won't protect you from anything once this happens. You need to either ask the pharmacist or whoever dispenses medications wherever you live and have them advise you, or make sure you read the container they come in. The one thing you don't want is any mask that isn't completely protected from anyone opening it and checking them out. Then all of those people have had there fingers all over them too. Use your common sense on this and you'll do just fine and be protected enough too. Good luck and God Bless
    you should use a N95 mask to protect urself from swine flu and other diseases

    Venitian Masks for art project?

    I am looking to buy a blank base for a venetian mask. I have found lots that are very thin plastic but wanted somthing perhaps made from cloth or somthing else sturdy so then perhaps I can wear it. Can anyone sugest anywhere online I could find such a thing?Venitian Masks for art project?
    I have made these with my students many times. You will have to make them from paper mache. The easiest way is to use masks already begun as a base and to add the details you wish. go to : http://www.dickblick.com/zz611/98/Venitian Masks for art project?
    Hi:





    You can make a mask out of paper mache, but in addition, you can create a mold that is more interesting from non-hardening clay, like Roman Plastilina type clay. You can obtain this sculpting type of clay in various sized blocks, you'll probably want at least a 2lb block, and hardnesses, and it very similar to craft non-hardening clay, but the differing hardness helps when you may want to do detailed work. You might want to make sure that you get sulfur free clay, because the sulfur may irritate your skin. You can get this type of clay from a lot of art supply stores and online along with prepared paper mache pulp, or you can make your own out of strips of news paper or pulp, and diluted white glue or a flour solution. I saw an artist on DIY's Craft Lab do this process on one show, DCLB-110, so you might check over there to get a printable project sheet with help.





    Some sources for these materials are the Compleat Sculptor, Dick Blick, Jerry's Artarama, and Art Supply Warehouse. There are more, but these are the art supply stores that I've used before.





    There are any number of approaches you can take, and if you need more help than this, email me at yahoo.com.





    Hope this helps, and have fun with your project.

  • Which masks are best for preventing viruses? Pandemics?

    I'm very interested in adding some masks to my emergency-preparedness kit for the family, but it seems that I keep on reading conflicting information about what 'type' of masks to buy for the best prevention of governmentally created viruses/pandemics like the ';swine flu.'





    Thanks!!


    ~Keep ya eyes to the skiesWhich masks are best for preventing viruses? Pandemics?
    ';governmentally created viruses/pandemics'; -haha you got a point here. Who knows, maybe H1N1 is just the beginning. But it's not fair to put all blame on the government, sometimes they're caused by developing antibiotic resistance of some virulent pathogens, cross-species susceptibility, at times a consequence of some man-made events such as global warming (as Al Gore said), and most often explained by the epidemiologic triad of disease (interactions among pathogens, susceptible hosts and their environment).





    Masks maybe effective for diseases whose mode of transmission is through the respiratory route, either airborne (such as TB, measles, varicella, SARS, avian flu) or droplet (whose nuclei size is way larger than airborne and transmitabble only within 3-feet from the source or host, such as meningococcemia, pneumonia, meningitis, seasonal flu, H1H1, etc.). Ordinary masks will suffice for droplet-borne pathogens in addition to goggles and strict handwashing. Airborne pathogens are too small to be filtered by ordinary masks, and for this purpose the need for ultrafiltrable masks like N95, but its only effective if you know how to use it properly. Well the most ideal to use against bioterrorism (anthrax, smallpox etc.) and in immunosuppression (in organ transplants) is a HEPA (High-effficiency Particulate Airflow) filter because its theoretically 99.9% efficient, but I haven't seen one for home use, only in hospitals for I think it costs $2,000 to $3000 each!





    PS. The best and most practical way to control the spread of infection is still plain old proper HANDWASHING, coupled with a healthy lifestyle away from too much drinking, smoking and other nasty stuff.





    Best wishes to your family.Which masks are best for preventing viruses? Pandemics?
    It would probably depend on the type of thing your trying to keep out... I would suggest getting different kinds to protect yourself from everything

    Why do some basketball players use plastic masks in their faces?

    Players like Richard Hamilton and Sue Bird wear protective plastic face masks to protect and or nurse broken noses. Richard Hamilton wears his for every game because if he breaks his nose one more time, he will not be able to play professional basketball anymore.Why do some basketball players use plastic masks in their faces?
    to protect their face sometimes they injured their nose so they have to wear the masks to protect it from hurting again or their teeth from getting lots of blood and hurtingWhy do some basketball players use plastic masks in their faces?
    I think your referring to Ric Hamilton of the Pistons?





    He wears a plastic mask because he has broke his nose a number of times, and it's to protect him from having any more broken noses.
    tro protect anything t hey may have broken or have had surgery on
    For facial injuries they are trying to protect (i.e. broken nose, broken cheek bone, etc.)
    To protect their faces - usually after an injury.
    it's becuause it's prescribed by their doctors. becaause they have taken hit to thier faces alot.

    How do you uses a voodoo masks a real one . i have one need to know how it works?

    First off, all masks work the same, you put it on. The ';trick'; is knowing who the mask is in order to ';become'; what the mask embodies. If you don't know what you are dealing with, then I suggest you don't mess with it. If you are not an initiate or have never been chosen by a loa, then I also suggest you put the mask on a wall and leave it there, or pass it on to someone who knows what they are doing. Something tells me that your ';real'; mask is a souvenir from some one's trip or bought second-hand and you haven't the fainest idea of what it really is. If you knew what or who it was of, then you would know how it works. Do us all a favor, leave it alone.How do you uses a voodoo masks a real one . i have one need to know how it works?
    now why would i give dark power to someone who cant even spell use right? it sounds like your just another person who wants to get more power. oh, if i had a dime for every time i have heard a question like this. you have no right to be meddling in things like this. however, it really doesn't matter, because you will, and thats okay, because for someone like you, voodoo will only bounce back and hit you. have fun.How do you uses a voodoo masks a real one . i have one need to know how it works?
    Voodoo is a religion from Haiti. You have to be initiated to take part in the ceremonies. You should not be using it on your own without instruction. They don't initiate just anybody.
    Dance like a monkey and jump like a clown????? Have someone help you with this act. And its not ';uses'; its ';use';

    What are Tiki masks and where do they come from?

    A tiki is a carved talisman, usually of a grotesque head, common to the Polynesian cultures of the Pacific Ocean. These talismans take the form of large carved wooden heads and also smaller wooden carved heads used as markers at the edge of sacred sites.





    The term tiki is also often erroneously used to refer to the carved greenstone or bone pendants worn as necklaces by the Maori of New Zealand. These are correctly called hei-tiki (qv). ';Tiki'; can be translated as ';first man'; as in the first man on earth.What are Tiki masks and where do they come from?
    Tiki's are an ancient, mythical god of the ancient Hawaiians. They range in all sizes from the very small, large-eyed, gaping rictus to the ancient oracles of Hawaiian 'kahunas' perched on volcanic cliffs, carved wooden tikis peeking thru the rainforest, mystic caves along the coast and great tiki god temples of sacrifice were located amongst Hawaiian tiki villages and islands.


    There are 4 Major Tiki gods:


    Ku - Ancient tiki god of War. He was the husband of the goddess Hina. Ku means 'standing up'; Hina means 'fallen down'.


    Lono - Ancient tiki god of Fertility and Peace. Lono came to earth on a rainbow to marry Laka.


    Kane - Ancient tiki god of Light and Life. Kane was husband to Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven.


    Kanaloa - Ancient Tiki god of the Sea. Kanaloa is the twin brother of Kane and they share much duality.


    Related tiki deities are:


    Tangaroa/Tiki/Waka: guardian/protector mask; they have pierced eyes and mouth, with Moko (tattoos) of a warrior chief.


    Tagaloa in Samoa


    Ta'aroa in TahitiWhat are Tiki masks and where do they come from?
    From Tikiland ?
    Tiki masks are those carved by the Maori people of New Zealand who I believe originated from the Polynesian Islands.





    The Tiki is also sold as good luck charm carved in natural Jade gemstone also found in New Zealand.





    The Tiki effigy is meant to look frightening to ward off evil spirit I believe.

    You need to use good quality products (those from a salon). Try Extreme shampoo %26amp; conditioner by Redken, that stuff works miracles. When your hair is damp, before your blow dry it apply Potion 9 by Sebastion. If you use a flat iron or curling iron apply a heat protectant to your hair before running them through. Once a week use a treatment on your hair, Extreme makes a treatment called Rescue Force. Try to go as long as you can without washing your hair, if it gets greasy than wash it, but try not to wash it every day. Eat healthy, drink lots of water, %26amp; take a multivitamin. Hair grows from the inside out, so what you put into your body affects your hair, skin, %26amp; nails. And make sure to get your hair cut every two months to get the split ends cut off.
    Hair isn't alive and it doesn't grow. Hair is an accumulation of a protein called keratin inside the follicle. As it builds up on the bottom it is pushed out the top, creating ';hair growth';. This means that nothing that you ingest has any effect on the condition of the hair that you already have.





    Do you blow dry your hair? Blow drying hair is bad for it, far worse than straightening is! Blow drying hair removes 90% of hair's moisture, leaving it dry, brittle, and prone to damage. The outside layer of the hair shaft is called the cuticle and is like shingles on a roof. You want this layer to lay flat down, but a blow dryer blows it open. This means that your hair's natural oils that keep it healthy are sucked out when you shampoo. This causes breakage more than anything short of chemicals. Straightening may rip at the cuticle a little, but it is nothing compared to how bad a blow dryer is, it only removes 10% of moisture.





    You need to buy a salon quality conditioner! You have to have a chemical to lift the cuticle (outside layer of the hair shaft) and allow the conditioning agents to get inside, you only need the size of a quarter! Shampoo your hair and wash it out in hot water, apply the conditioner. Blow dry your hair on high heat for 10-15 minutes, and let it sit for 5. Then wash it out in cold water. This is the deep conditioning treatment that we do in a salon. It isn't anything special, in fact you can buy the stuff we use, and do it yourself for the cost of 1 bottle! Bed Head Dumb Blonde is amazing as is Matrix Color Smart Masque. You can do this with a regular conditioner, but doing it with a masque is even better. And the plus side is that it actually works! People underestimate the power of conditioner because the put it in for 15 seconds and wash it out, but it does miracles when you it right!
    Dye it a darker colour, bleach takes all the 'goodness' out your hair, dying it dark puts minerals back in it therefore it makes it grow.


    However good the hair products are they still damage it. So try to cut down on them.


    Use a good shampoo and conditioner such as Pantene Repair and Protect, also leave conditioner on for a while before rinsing.


    Have it cut regulary and let it go greasy occasionaly x x
    try Paul Mitchell hair repair treatment.





    also, use repairing conditioners. Biolage is a good brand for that.

    When were gas masks first issued in ww2 ?

    hello i need to know when gas masks were first issued for children in ww2When were gas masks first issued in ww2 ?
    Sorry Caroline but the war started in Europe in 1939 and childrens gas masks were issued in the very early days including masks/respirators for babies. There was a real fear born out of experiences from WWI that nerve gas would be used on the civilian population.When were gas masks first issued in ww2 ?
    ';On January 7th, 1942, one month after Pearl Harbor, T.W. Smith, Jr., the owner of the Sun Rubber Company, and his designer, Dietrich Rempel, with Walt Disney鈥檚 approval introduced a protective mask for children. This design of the Mickey Mouse Gas Mask for children was presented to Major General William N. Porter, Chief of the Chemical Warfare Service. After approval of the CWS, Sun Rubber Products Company produced sample masks for review. Other comic book character designs were to follow, depending on the success of the Mickey Mouse mask.





    The mask was designed so children would carry it and wear it as part of a game. This would reduce the fear associated with wearing a gas mask and hopefully, improve their wear time and, hence, survivability.';
