Body piercing is hot and happening now a days with more and more youth piercing the various parts of their body. The various body parts that are normally pierced are nose, ears, navel, eyebrow, lips, nipple, tongue and other genital parts. Often, it's a statement of individuality and style but some portray it as a sign of rebellion too. Sometimes, it's nothing more than a desire to adorn various body parts with jewellery.

With piercing becoming more and more popular it is always advisable to be more aware of its method, precautions, consequences and other small questions, which will cross your mind before taking the plunge. In this article we have tried to answer mostly all your questions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Does body piercing hurt?

This is probably the first question that crosses anybody's mind. Well sorry to say but body piercing does hurt. A hollow needle is passed through the body part followed by the insertion of the body jewellery in the hole. A small amount of bleeding may occur as a result of the piercing. But isn't the pain a part of the fun. After all to gain something you have to bear the pain.

Does a piercing cause health risk?

Well piercing shouldn't cause any kind of health risk but for that you have to take care of the piercing properly while they're healing. A competent piercer will give you an aftercare guide. Follow it religiously, but know your own body: if a particular disinfectant irritates you, don't use it. If you have any problems call your piercer and take his advice or consult your doctor.

Where should I be pierced?

Well this will broadly depend on you. You can visit various sites on the net as well as take advice from your piercer as to where you should pierce. If you're considering a particular piercer, talk to him or her and to their clients; check out their equipment and piercing room. Whatever you do don't pierce at jewellery shops, don't ask your friend's to pierce and don't do it yourself. Remember piercing is your decision so please take it wisely.

How to choose a piercing artist?

Visit several piercers and check out the work area. The work area should be kept in a clean and sanitary condition and it should have proper lighting. If they refuse to discuss cleanliness and infection control, go somewhere else. Check if all the instruments used for piercing are properly sterilised. The piercer parlour should have an autoclave - a heat sterilization machine used to sterilize equipment between customers. Also check if the piercer uses proper gloves and keeps them on all the time.

What jewellery to wear?

The type of jewellery inserted will depend on the body part. For example, a short barbell in the tongue will lead to problems when the tongue starts to swell. The type of jewellery used must accommodate the swelling that follows the piercing procedure. Piercers recommend non-toxic metals such as surgical steel, 14K gold, niobium, or titanium to avoid infections and allergic reactions. Gold-plated jewellery should not be used.

What is the healing time for various body parts piercing?

Well every body part will take different healing period. It also depends on person to person. Following is the chart, which gives the average time for piercing to heal.

Ear lobe: 6 to 8 weeks

Ear cartilage: 4 months to 1 year

Eyebrow: 6 to 8 weeks

Lip: 2 to 3 months

Tongue: 4 weeks

Nostril: 2 to 4 months

Nasal septum: 6 to 8 months

Nasal bridge: 8 to 10 weeks

Nipple: 3 to 6 months

Navel: 4 months to 1 year

Female genitalia: 4 to 10 weeks

Male genitalia: 4 weeks to 6 months

Cleanliness Guidelines

Clean the piercing area with an antibacterial soap. Gently remove all crusty formations from the piercing and jewellery. Rinse off the soap, making sure that all the soap and crust formations are gone. You can also remove crystal formation by making a salt water liquid (solution of one quarter teaspoon sea salt and eight ounces distilled water).

Wash your hands with soap before touching or cleaning the pierced part during the healing process. Don't let anyone else touch the pierced part during the healing period.

Be sure to leave the starter jewellery in during the entire minimum initial healing time. Check tightness of balls on threaded jewellery twice daily with clean hands. For tongue piercing check threaded ends on the jewellery twice daily with clean hands to make sure the ends are tight. Eat slowly and take small bites of food at first, when you are getting used to the new jewellery.

Always wear clean clothing and change bed-sheets every week during healing. If the piercing is an ear piercing, clean your telephone and sun or eyeglasses.

For ear and cartilage piercing, avoid make-up and powders around your face and neck during the healing process coz this can cause infection. Cover the pierced part with a tissue when using hair spray.

For navel piercing don't wear tight clothes coz that will not give you proper air circulation that is very important for healing. Don't sleep on your stomach. ? If you swim then be careful where you swim. Avoid public pools and hot tubs until the piercing has healed.

For tongue or lip piercing, choose an antibacterial mouthwash that does not contain alcohol and rinse your mouth every time you eat. If you notice bad breathe and an off-coloured tongue the mouth wash may have killed the mouth's own bacteria. If this happens switch to salt water rinses instead of mouthwash.

For tongue piercing avoid all oral sexual contact including French (wet) kissing during the entire healing period, even if you are in a monogamous relationship. Avoid chewing on gum, tobacco, fingernails, pencils and sunglasses while healing. Reduce or quit smoking when healing (smoking increases risks and can prolong the healing process).

Don't use band aids on a piercing as they can limit air circulation.

Complications arising out of piercing:

If taken proper care then piercing does not really cause any complications but still you should be aware of a few minor complications. If you are going for tongue piercing then initially you will have to bear lot of swelling and pain. It might also affect your taste buds for a few days. Nipple piercing may burrow through some of the milk-producing ducts and cause infection or problems if a woman wishes to breast-feed an infant later in her life. Navel piercing becomes infected easily because tight-fitting clothes do not allow enough air to circulate and allow moisture to collect around the piercing site. Nose piercing should be taken special care from infections since it can be very deadly if it gets infected. If the piercing drains thick pus discharge instead of the normal yellowish liquid secretion, you may want to consult a physician. If there is an infection present, do not remove jewellery. If the jewellery is removed, the holes can close up and an abscess can form. Avoid stress and all forms of recreational drug use. Avoid aspirin, large amounts of caffeine, spicy, salty, acidic or hot temperature foods and alcoholic beverage for the first several days to prevent bleeding, swelling and discomfort. Do not play with the piercing during the entire healing time except for necessary functions (eating and speaking). Stress on the piercing during the healing process can cause scarring, migration and other complications. Even after healing, excessive play with oral jewellery can result in permanent damage to teeth, gums and oral structures.

Protective bacteria in the infant gut have resourceful way of helping babies break down breast milk

ScienceDaily (Aug. 13, 2012) ? A research team at the University of California, Davis, has found that important and resourceful bacteria in the baby microbiome can ferret out nourishment from a previously unknown source, possibly helping at-risk infants break down components of breast milk.

Breast milk is amazingly intricate, providing all of the nutrients necessary to sustain and strengthen infants in the first months of life. Moreover, this natural source of nutrition provides protection from infections, allergies and many other illnesses.

Breast milk also promotes the growth of protective bacteria in an infant's intestine. Because breast milk contains glycans (complex sugars) that infants cannot breakdown, it promotes the growth a specific type of bacteria, called bifidobacteria, that can process these glycans. While it is known that bifidobacteria avail themselves of the free glycans in breast milk, it was not known whether these bacteria could also obtain glycans that were linked to proteins. Such proteins are called glycoproteins, and they are abundant in breast milk.

The research team led by David A. Mills at the UC-Davis investigated the ability of bifidobacteria to remove glycans from milk glycoproteins. Their work was recently published in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics.

Mills' group found that specific strains of bifidobacteria possessed enzymes capable of removing glycan groups from glycoproteins, enabling them to use these glycans as an additional food source. Surprisingly, one of the enzymes, EndoBI-1, was able to remove any type of N-linked glycan (glycans attached to proteins by the amino acid asparagine). This is unique among enzymes of this type and may provide a growth advantage for bifidobacteria in the infant intestine because the glycoproteins in breast milk have complex glycans attached.

Mills explains that the ability of EndBI-1 to remove a variety of complex N-linked glycans combined with its unusual heat stability make "this potentially a very useful tool in both food processing and proteomics/pharmaceutical research."

The team's work suggests that bifidobacteria do not primarily feed on the glycans from milk glycoproteins. However, the study did show that under the proper conditions bidfidobacteria can grow when protein-linked glycans are the only energy source.

"One obvious goal of this research is to find ways to translate the benefits provided by milk and bifidobacteria to at risk populations such as premature infants, malnourished children, among many others," Mills says.

Electrical Safety At Work

Electrical safety at work requires constant care by all workers and business owners to minimise the risks. Working with electricity is dangerous but following some simple, straightforward tips, the likelihood and impact of an accident can be substantially reduced.

1) Visually check that the electrical appliance is in good condition with no damage and is complete. Any damaged items need to be marked as "Do not Use" and stored in a location where they cannot be accessed until they are properly repaired or disposed of.

2) Properly maintained equipment is essential and should take place to ensure equipment works safely as required. Also check that electrical appliance is being used for what it is designed for. Manufacturer's guidelines should be consulted to ensure that it is being used as recommended and how to use safely in operation.

3) Do not overload power points with extension devices and only use one extension lead on one socket and do not daisy chain them. Fully un-wind the extension lead and do not allow the cable to be trapped in doorways or other obstacles.

4) When using electrically powered tools, battery operated ones are safer.

5) Use electrical equipment in dry surroundings. If equipment needs to be used outdoors or in wet surroundings, appropriate control measures need to be in place. Only staff who have received appropriate training to prevent injury to themselves and others should be used.

6) Always use a Residual Current Device (RCD) and plug in types should be plugged into the main socket. Test the RCD before use to ensure it is working properly.

7) Ensure only tested (either visually or PAT tested) equipment is used in the workplace. This means that mobile phone chargers, fans, heaters and other items brought in from home, need to be tested before being used.

8) An emergency cut off switch is provided and is easily accessible and clearly identified on each machine, or area, that can cause an electric shock. The switch needs to be tested on a regular basis to ensure it remains effective.

9) Working near electric cables. Some cables are obvious but others buried in walls, ceilings or underground are not. Check wiring diagrams if possible or use a cable locator to find cables.

10) If an electrical supply cannot be turned off, specific safeguards need to be in place before any work starts. A Business owner cannot assume that the employee will follow procedures and needs to ensure that electrical supply is only worked on when it has been confirmed as not-live.

We cannot overemphasis the need for every business owner to have a strong stance on electrical safety at work and, by following the steps outlined above, the risks of injury will be minimised.

Jenna Jameson endorses Romney for president

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Jenna Jameson, the so-called "Queen of Porn" whose opinion will no doubt have little sway in the nation's political class, endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney's bid for president.

The porn star took the stage at a San Francisco strip club last week and announced she was ready for a Romney presidency, CBS reported.

"I'm very looking forward to a Republican being back in office," Jameson said as she sipped champagne. "When you're rich, you want a Republican in office."

Jameson, who by 2001 earned $60,000 for a day-and-a-half long DVD shoot and $8,000 per night dancing at strip clubs, switched positions politically speaking in 2008. Previously, she had supported Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

The actress's backing comes at an odd time for the Romney campaign. Four days ago, adult film actor Ron Jeremy rejected the Romney bid telling the Boston Herald he planned to vote for President Barack Obama.

Romney's representatives did not immediately respond to requests from TheWrap for comment.

Rua, Machida post big UFC wins in Fox show

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Former champion Lyoto Machida stopped Ryan Bader with one punch midway through the second round of the UFC's latest prime-time network show Saturday night, getting a knockout that might have earned him a chance to reclaim his title.

Mauricio "Shogun" Rua stopped Brandon Vera in the main event with a flurry of strikes with 50 seconds left in the fourth round for another dramatic finish.

After the fights, UFC President Dana White said Machida had earned another light heavyweight title shot with his sudden victory.

White promised a shot at the winner of champion Jon "Bones" Jones' bout with veteran Dan Henderson next month to the fighter who was most impressive at Staples Center, although the date could be tough to keep immediately.

Machida (18-3) had the light heavyweight belt until Rua took it from him with a first-round knockout in May 2010. Machida failed to reclaim the belt last December from Jones, who stopped him with a standing guillotine choke in Toronto for the formerly formidable Brazilian's third loss in four fights.

Machida looked impressive again in flattening Bader (14-3), who also has lost to Jones.

"I think it was a great performance, and I want to say, the Dragon is back," Machida shouted, citing his own nickname.

Machida needed just one big right hand 90 seconds into the second round to knock out Bader, who spent the first round warily staying outside Machida's dangerous karate-based style. Machida picked apart Bader to win the opening round, and when Bader attempted to close the distance, the Brazilian star ducked slightly and apparently rendered Bader unconscious with a punch square to his face.

White hyped up interest in the Los Angeles show by claiming he would choose the next title contender from this bunch of fighters with significant recent defeats on their records. The UFC could be more interested in matching Jones against welterweight star Georges St. Pierre next year, but Machida did everything possible to get back on a title track.

Earlier, Joe Lauzon ended a thrilling bout with veteran Jamie Varner by securing a triangle choke midway through the third round. Mike Swick also returned from a 30-month octagon absence for a second-round knockout of DaMarques Johnson.

Rua (21-6) survived a grueling fight with the veteran Vera (12-6), bouncing back from multiple spots of trouble and pushing through fatigue that slowed both fighters midway through the scheduled five-round bout.

Rua finally got rid of Vera with a series of strikes that began with a precise right hook to Vera's jaw. Vera's mouthpiece apparently came loose, distracting him moments before Rua finished him with a few more strikes to celebrate his first victory in nearly a year.

"I'll improve, but you'll see my best for sure in the future," Rua said. "The most important thing is a victory. I respect Brandon a lot. It was a good fight. I was a little tired from the second to the third round, more than I expected."

Rua lost his light heavyweight title to Jones in his first defense in March 2011, and Rua lost again to Henderson last November in a five-round brawl.

Varner was a last-minute replacement opponent for Lauzon, a reliably entertaining Massachusetts fighter who still had lost three of his past six bouts. Varner is a former WEC champion who returned to the UFC with an upset victory over Edson Barboza in May.

Although Varner controlled the entertaining first round, he couldn't keep up later with Lauzon, who rallied with strikes that set up superb ground work ending with his legs cinched around Varner's neck.

Intuit Small Business Indexes Show Mixed Signals | SMART Group

U.S. small businesses are seeing weak employment and compensation growth, while hours worked and revenue rates decreased.

These are among the results for the monthly Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU) Small Business Employment and Revenue Indexes, which together provide a complete and current picture of the economic health of the nation?s small businesses.

The Small Business Employment Index shows that employment increased by 0.17 percent in July, for an annualized growth rate of 2.1 percent. This equates to approximately 35,000 new jobs created, although Intuit is recalibrating the index and expects these numbers to change.

Average monthly compensation grew by 0.3 percent, or $7, while average monthly hours worked decreased by 0.3 percent, or 24 minutes. The index is based on data from Intuit Online Payroll and covers the period from January 2007 through July 23, 2012.

The Small Business Revenue Index indicates that small business revenue decreased by 0.5 percent from the previous month. The accommodation and food services sector saw the biggest decline at 0.7 percent, followed by the retail industry at 0.5 percent. The index is based on data from QuickBooks Online and covers the period from January 2005 through June 2012.

?This month?s indexes indicate a mixed bag for small businesses,? said Susan Woodward, the economist who worked with Intuit to create the indexes. ?Revenues have been declining for two months now, so the weak employment growth rate for July is not a surprise.

?The silver lining is the construction industry, which saw an increase in revenue in May and the smallest decline in June. While construction accounts for about 8 percent of employment among all companies, it accounts for roughly 20 percent of employment for small companies, so any change in this sector is important.?

Small Business Revenue Index

Small businesses overall saw declines in revenue in June. The construction industry and health care and social assistance sectors saw the smallest declines, at 0.01 and 0.04 percent respectively.
