The Tip:Caring for your nails

To prevent nail damage,don't use your fingernails as tools to pick,poke or pry things.
Don't bite your nails or pick at your cuticles.These habits can damage the nail bed.Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter and cause an infection(paronychia).Because your nails grow slowly,an injured nail retains signs of an injury for several months.
Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when using soap and water for prolonged periods or when using harsh chemicals.
Trim fingernails and clean under the nails regularly.Use sharp manicure scissors or clippers and an emery board to smooth nail edges.Never pull off hangnails-doing so almost always results in ripping living tissue.
Instead clip hangnails off,leaving a slight angle outward.
Moisturise your nails frequently.Rub lotion into your nails when moisturising your hands.Be sure to apply a moisturiser each time you wash your hands.

Sex:The Big "O" & The Big Difference:

A man usually needs about two or three minutes of stimulation to have an orgasm,a woman generally needs 10 times more. For a man,an orgasm is instinctive.For a woman,it happens only after direct stimulation of the clitoris. A man's climax usually lasts for 10-13 seconds.For a woman,it lasts 6-60 seconds. A man must recuperate after an orgasm but a woman can have repeated orgasms within minutes or in rapid succession. Wonder why a man rolls over and sleeps after? During sex,his body releases oxytocin,a hormone that induces drowsiness.A woman is more relaxed after sex,which is why she wants to talk or cuddle.

The Tip : How to get your man in the mood :

1) Handfeed your lover with tidbits such as strawberries or chocolates. 2) Turn a cuddle into a sensual neck and back massage. 3) Create a love-tape of your lover's favorite love songs and present it to him. 4) Write a loving a sexy note for your lover and leave it somewhere you know he'll find it during the day. 5) Send a love letter. You don't have to fill pages-just one or two lines saying how you feel about him speaks volumes. 6) Send a text or e-mail that simply says that you're thinking of him at that moment. 7) The next time you have dinner together, light a few candles, put on some soft music and show your lover you want to make him feel good. 8) Offer to go out on an errand for your lover and come back with a surprise gift-it only needs to be a small present yet the gesture seems big on caring.

Breastfeeding safer for HIV+moms

Breast feeding,which helps build a baby's immune system, may be the best option for HIV-infected mothers in developing countries, despite the risk of transmitting the virus that causes AIDS to their babies, according to new studies presented some days ago. HIV-positive mothes generally are counselled to feed their babies formula to limit the risk of transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus, but that has caused problems in nations where clean water and other needs may not be met. Hoosen Coovadia a pediatrician at South Africa's University of KwaZuluNatal said that instructing HIV-infected mothers in developing nations to breast-feed would result in about 300000 children becoming infected with HIV, but would save 1.5 million from dying of other diseases.
