...Nail Disease 1 - Paronychia Paronychia is a bacterial infection that occurs around the nails. The area around the nail fold can be inflamed, red and swollen and resulting in pustule cuticles. The main symptom is a painful, red, swollen area around the nail, often at the cuticle. There may be pus-filled blisters especially with a bacterial infection. It can be caused by injury to the area eg biting off or picking a hangnail or from trimming or pushing back the cuticle. It is also common among persons with diabetes and those who have their hands in water for long periods of time. Bacteria cause the condition to occur suddenly. Nail changes may occur. For example, the nail may look detached, abnormally shaped, or have an unusual colour. A medical practitioner can usually diagnose this condition by simply looking at the sore skin. Soaking the nail in hot water two to three times a day helps reduce swelling and pain. Antibiotics can be prescribed. In severe cases a medical practitioner may cut and drain the sore with a sharp instrument. Part of the nail may need to be removed. If it is fungal paronychia, antifungal medicine maybe prescribed. To prevent paronychia: ✓ Care for the nails and the skin around the nails properly. ✓ Avoid damaging the nails or fingertips. Because the nails grow slowly, an injury can last for months. ✓ Do not bite or pick the nails. ✓ Protect the nails from exposure to detergents and chemicals by using protective rubber...

...Where Beauty Begins Nails have always been a part of a women’s beauty care, whether it’s retro 1970s or cool 2013. The ad that I chose to analyze is for the Natural Wonder nail polish. This ad was published in The Australian Women’s Weekly on February 11, 1976. The ad shows a women’s face covered with several hands over her eyes, and all the finger nails are painted in different vibrant shades of Natural Wonder nail polish. The model’s lips are adorned with red lipstick, which enhances to the ad’s visual appeal. The color palette used in this ad is very attractive and bright, and the photography is impressive. Underneath the photo is the narration of the ad, advising that this nail polish is a revolutionary product, as it does not only make nails beautiful but strong. The use of alluring vocabulary, different sizes of fonts and concise information leaves the reader with a clear sense of how the product works. The Natural Wonder, “Where Beauty Begins” is a rational, inspiring and persuasive ad, which justifies the appeal to credibility, appeal to emotions and appeal to reason. There are two aspects which make this ad believable and credible. Firstly, its publication in the Australian Women’s weekly magazine. The Australian Women's Weekly, launched in 1933, is the most widely read magazine in the history of Australian publishing. The magazine was first introduced as a weekly publication (National Library of Australia). Secondly, “the United States based cosmetics brand, Natural...

...A Touch of Elegance Day Spa Shayla K. Samuel Introduction to Marketing Prof. Yanni Tournas Spring 2007 I plan to open a spa that pays special attention, but is not limited to, the specific needs of ethnic peoples. This business will be financed with a small business loan and any capital that the owners have to put into the business. It will be located in Harlem, NY. This spa will provide hair, skin, nail, and full body care services for men and women of all ages and backgrounds. The market potential for this spa is high because the area it will be opened in is particularly diverse. Residents of the area include people who have Caribbean roots and those of African decent. I plan on achieving product differentiation using location and target market. There are very few businesses in the area that include services for hair, skin, and nails in one facility. The spa services will be advertised primarily to those of ethnic backgrounds. A spa would be a particularly lucrative business because of the range of services that are available. My business would provide services from manicures and pedicures, to hair cuts and colorings, to acupuncture and full body massages. Advertising for the spa will include, but is not limited to local radio broadcast commercials, ad printing in the local papers, fliers handed out to passersby, and word of mouth. New clients will receive special deals when they purchase large packages. Returning clients...

She does people’s nails, mostly women. She give them services such as pedicure, and manicures. To explain what manicures and pedicures are, manicures is like a fancy massage and pampering of one’s hands and pedicures is the same for one’s feet.

The guest then get a series of massages and stretches of their hands to help releases their tension. The hands then get dipped in a warm wax solution. The wax is intended to lock in the moisture in the hand to keep them beautiful and prevent them from drying out. So that’s a basic manicures is like. 2. What did you learn? What surprised you?

...Research Paper Rough Draft: How to become a Neat Nail Technician Looking around the room, I see an array of beautiful shades to choose from. Pastels with deep dark colors of nail polishes are sitting on organized shelves to be chosen. Sometimes a salon will have a strong stench of chemicals, mixed with the sound of nail buffing drills, and chatter too. However, getting a manicure and pedicure is still a relaxing retreat that many women, even men, look forward to. When I was a just a little girl, I became exposed to the art of nail design and a vast selection of polishes throughout the years of my mother’s influence. Painting nails, playing with false nails, and the experience in taking trips to the nail salon with my mother have become hobbies of mine ever since then. Thereafter, I realize that in order to become a professional nail technician, it will take hours of practice and training to obtain your license, and testing your skills in your new workplace. This topic is something interesting that I liked learning about, and I thought it would be great to be able to save money by doing own nails. “As a nail technician or manicurist, you will trim and polish clients' nails, repair broken nails, and apply nail extensions. Additionally, you will assess the...

...Assignment MIS This project involves packaging nails so that you make the most profit possible (this is a profit maximizing problem). Say you have six types of nails and can make as many as you need of each. These nails are in 4-inch, 3.5-inch, 3-inch, 2.5-inch, 2-inch, and 1.5-inch nails. The cost of making each type of nail depends on how big a nail it is. Those cost and selling prices are listed in the table below along with the weights. The nails will be sold in boxes of up to 30 nails. There must be no more than 10, but no less than 5, of each of three types of nails in each box. The nails in each box should weigh no more than 20 ounces. You're looking for the combination with the highest profit using a trial-and-error method. A spreadsheet would be helpful for completing this project. You'll most likely find that you identify some promising paths to follow right away and will concentrate on those to reach the best one. |Nail |Weight |Cost |Selling price | |4 inch |1 oz |4 cents |8 cents | |3.5 Inch |0.85 oz |3,5 cents |7 cents | |3 inch |0.7 oz |3 cents |6 cents | |2.5 inch |0.5 oz |2.5 cents |4 cents | |2 inch |0.25 oz |2 cents |3 cents | |1.5 inch |0.1 oz ...

What is Screen at Fingertips? – Made using particular organic light-emitting materials, the interactive thumbnail can display fonts or characters hidden under thumb or fingers on an integrated OLED screen(96 x 64). The proposed display augments the use of a finger by allowing for always-available visual feedback," write the researchers in their paper, NailDisplay: Bringing an Always-Available Visual Display to Fingertips. "What you control is what you see.”The technology, dubbed NailDisplay, has the potential to revolutionize the way we use devices Leading Thinkers or researcher of “Screen on Fingertips” technology: Chao-Huai Su and colleagues of National Taiwan University in Taipei are the leading thinkers of this technology. They are trying to work out how we will use it when it does arrive. So they created a clunky, half-centimetre-thick, 2.5-cm diagonal OLED screen and attached it to a large finger ring so they could give the idea a test drive.

...LP4 Assignment: Changing Habits Nail Biting Habit Student: Kathryn Crandall National American University January 15, 2016 Nail Biting Habit The nail biting habit began 42 years ago on the first day of kindergarten. I remember the day clearly because I was not in favor of attending this place called school. My parents had been preparing me all summer with asking me to practice saying and writing the alphabet and numbers. I also remember how tired I was of having to do this almost daily and at times would refuse to comply. I barely remember the day of the open house when I got to tour the classroom and meet the teacher. To be honest, I think I didn’t want to acknowledge that this visit meant anything because I convince myself that I was not going to attend this place called school. The next thing I knew mom was bringing me to the bus stop and I was pleading with her to not make me go because I was scared. My pleading did not work because the next thing I knew I was at school. Once in our classroom, we were again introduced to the teacher. I notice some of the other kids also were crying as I had been, except one girl name Becky looked as if she was chewing on her fingertips. Few minutes later we were asked to take small mat from the stack to sit on in a circle. I made sure that I was next to Becky because I was curious about how she can chew on her fingertips and it didn’t seem to hurt her. I had quit crying by the time Becky and I got seated upon our mats. However...

...Every business has a model regardless of what industry you are in. All business have models that have three main components. Those are (1) business commerce (2) business occupation and (3) business organization. Business commerce is the process where the good and services are produced. The nail technician does my pedicure and I pay her for her services and for doing such a good job would be considered business commerce. Business occupation is a skill or a service done to provide value to their customers. Nail technician is a very skilled and patient acquired job so you have to pay to get your services from a nail technician. Its not a job everyone can do so sometimes you have to go to the next person to make them look fabulous. Business organization is the last component of the business systems. This particular nail salon is very small since they only have one salon in town. I advertising in the local papers and around town. They definitely stick out when you drive by them. They also only have a few employees maybe 5 so they are very small. Since the business organization is the systems of task the relationship between the nail technician and the customer receiving the services have to have a common...

...during our leisure time, but there are some type of activity that often do provide amusement to us, including behavior that we find unacceptable; like flicking your hand in front of your eyes, pulling thread out of your clothes, making repetitive sounds, nail biting and many more. This kind of behavior is considered self-stimulation or we can called our mannerisms and can often perceive negatively because “they do not look normal”. It is not difficult to identify mannerism. If someone does a strange thing habitually, like clearing his/her voice superfluously, that is a mannerism. If someone (usually men) finds himself whistling every so often, that is a mannerism. If someone is fond of biting his or her fingernails, that is a mannerism. Nose poking, excessive or unnecessary tooth picking, tooth sucking, and indiscriminate hugging are also mannerisms. The habit of interjecting one's speech or sermon with a typical exclamation repeatedly and overuse of a gesture are some other mannerisms. Just look at the people around you. You are in a classroom together with your classmate. Sometimes you will notice that some of your girl classmates are playing with their hair, twirling a ring around their finger, biting their nails etc. And sometimes you notice someone of your classmate always winking on you, and you are very assuming, so you jumped on conclusion without any observation or knowing the reason behind those action of that guy/girl, and you therefore conclude that...

...The drawing pin. In this essay, I intend to write about the advantages and disadvantages about a drawing pin. I will also write about the key features of a drawing pin. These include; • Thumb Tacks - long heads, can be used as hooks • Drawing Pins - flat plastic heads • Giant Thumb Tacks - easy grip • Hexagonal Pins- paper labels on heads for coding • Map Pins - coloured heads for coding • Pyramid Pins - coloured heads for coding • All pins in assorted colours only Drawing pins are a short nail or pin used to fasten items to a wall or to a board which may be used in displays and intended to be inserted by hand, generally without the assistance of tools. Basic History Edwin Moore invented the "push-pin" in 1900 and founded the Moore Push-Pin Company. Moore described the push-pin as a pin with a handle. Later, in 1904, in Germany, a clockmaker Johann Kirsten invented the flat-headed thumb tacks for use with drawings. Components A drawing pin has two basic components: the head, often made of plastic, metal or wood, and the body, usually made of steel, brass, tin or iron. Many head designs are often flat, domed, spherical, cylindrical and a variety of heads such as hearts or stars. Drawing pins heads also come in a variety of colours. These can be particularly useful to mark different locations on a map. Some drawing pins are designed to have the body cut out of the head and bent downward to produce a tack. Drawing pins are really useful...
