Word of Mouth Publicity is Trusted Most
The content or media promoted by customers themselves is playing an important role in influencing the purchasing decision of customers, followed by ‘Brand Websites’, ‘Newspaper editorials’ and ‘Brand sponsorships’ with 70%, 69% and 64% respectively. This makes clear that online customers are giving more importance to what other customers say about a product or service before they make a purchase rather than the manufacturers’ advertisements.

Traditional Advertising Still Holds Ground
Though Recommendations from people known, Consumer opinions posted online and Branded websites claim top three spots among the trusted media, the top ten list of media is dominated by traditional media. Starting with Editorial content (e.g. newspaper article) at number four, the list has Brand sponsorships, TV, Newspaper, magazines, Billboards/outdoor advertising and Radio claiming five to ten ranks respectively.

Customers Trust on Advertising Increased
All forms of advertising, except Ads in newspapers, have experienced increase in the levels of trust of customers. Brand sponsorship has by increased 15% in trust levels, in April 2009 from April 2007. It is followed by ‘Ads before movies’ increased by 14%, Personal recommendations by 12%. ‘Ads in newspapers’ is the only form of advertising that has lost the trust of customers by 2%.

The U.S. Scenario
When it comes to U.S., 72% of U.S. Internet customers trust Consumer opinions posted online, and ranks 12 out of the 50 countries represented in the survey for trusting consumer opinions online. Brand websites, the most trusted form of advertiser-led advertising globally, gained 70% of the trust among U.S. online customers. Moreover, 62% of U.S. online customers said they trust Brand sponsorships.

The Least Trusted
Even though Brand websites score highly amongst Internet consumers, the other forms of digital advertising are trusted less than ads appearing in traditional media such as TV billboards, Radio, Magazines and Newspapers. The least trusted forms of advertising are Text ads on mobile phones, Online banner ads, Online video ads, Search engine results ads respectively.

On the backdrop of the rapid increase of online population around the world, the digital form of advertising is gaining popularity among customers. But online marketers have to work more to make a dent in the huge market of traditional advertising and reach out more number of customers.

Currently, even mediocre talent can easily get into professional colleges
Earlier, many talented people could not join professional courses, now even mediocre talent can easily get admission in AP. The number of engineering seats in Andhra Pradesh increased from about 4000 in 1989 to about 1.5 lakh by 2009. Even the number of MBA seats grew to about 20,000 from 2000 in just 10 years. However, the number of regular graduate students has remained about the same. This rapid growth in number of seats created a dearth of competition among students. It declined the caliber of students joining these courses.

This situation has been worsened by the greed of both students and their parents. When a professional course is paying good salaries to fresh graduates, many have succumbed by opting for such courses despite their interests/ capabilities not matching with what is required to be successful in that field.  Earlier many of such students would not have got admission into professional colleges.  However, today because of the manifold increase in the educational institutions offering such courses they can easily get admission in professional courses. This awareness that they will anyway get into a professional college further removes incentives for students to compete and strive hard to get into a professional course.

Lack of quality teaching staff
In the late 90’s, while the number of educational institutions was increasing manifold, many of the competent junior faculty left for lucrative careers in corporate sector. Over the years, the senior faculty have retired, while the remaining junior faculty got promoted as principals / Head of Departments of the new colleges. The existing educational system at that time had a limit on the number of quality teaching faculty they could generate. This combination of factors, manifold increase in colleges, retiring of senior faculty, good mid-level faculty leaving education system for lucrative corporate careers and limit of the number of good new teaching faculty that could be generated, dramatically led to the lack of quality teaching staff in professional colleges, as we see today.  This lack of quality teaching staff seriously impairs a systematic and disciplined imparting of education. Thus, it has caused a dramatic fall in educational standards across the entire state.

Social welfare measures providing free education destroyed the value of education
As a social development initiative, the government has with good intentions provided free education to students from some backgrounds who joined professional courses. However, human nature typically tends to value that are expensive and difficult to get. When education was made free, this move possibly led to undervalue the education.  The commitment level to pursue education was lowered due to the low out-of-pocket expenses. There was little to lose by neglecting their studies. However, this remains only a secondary issue.

Shift in importance to style rather than substance
Since it is not possible to deliver on teaching / educational standards, the new colleges have conveniently shifted focus to style and drama.  Fancy things like great looking college buildings, appearance of college buses, student dress codes, college events, and size of the campuses were given more priority than the quality of education. Such fancy things have caused further damage to quality education since the students in their formative years have been exposed to fancy ideas. These fancy ideas have become deeply ingrained due to the mass hysteria created by so many colleges preaching the same message.

This document was drafted many months before the Yashpal Committee report was made public. Even this report says, “Mushrooming engineering and management colleges, with some notable exceptions, have largely become, mere business entities dispensing very poor quality education.”

The end result today is large number of students who have neither the knowledge, the stamina to do quality work, the skills or caliber that is required of employees today to be able to deliver in the competitive, dynamic and global market environment today. This was before the recession hit the world and made things even more difficult for businesses to be viable.

Everybody knows that blood runs through the veins. But more than that, the veins can also act as a blood storage system. When a person sleeps, blood doesn’t flow as fast as it does during the waking hours. As such, a good portion of the blood is stored in the veins while the rest circulates as it should.

What are varicose and spider veins?

The walls of the veins have the capacity to expand. Simply defined, varicose and spider veins are visible, bulging veins. These veins are commonly seen in the thighs and legs area, although they may develop almost anywhere in the body.

Varicose veins are very large veins. You can feel them by touching. It is usually long and dilated, having a diameter of more than 4 millimeters. These veins usually form at the back of the knees, running from the thighs down.

Spider veins, on the other hand, are smaller in size. They look like fine lines appearing on the surface of the skin. Spider veins are most commonly seen in the feet, ankles, and thighs. At times, they may also form on the face.

Causes of Varicose and Spider Veins

If you want to prevent these veins, it is best that you know what causes them. Varicose and spider veins form when there is poor oxygen-blood circulation in that particular body part. The main reason why these problem veins develop is usually because of venous insufficiency. When the valves of the veins become weak, blood would tend to flow backwards and leak. When that happens, the pooled blood that had collected would enlarge and become visible on the surface. That’s how varicose veins form.

The risk factors for varicose veins are as follows:

* age
* heredity
* hormonal changes
* pregnancy
* obesity
* sun exposure

When Do Varicose and Spider Veins Become a Problem?

Aside from giving your legs an unsightly apperance, varicose veins become a problem when they cause leg pains, swelling, numbness, and itching in and around the affected areas. Varicose veins may also give your legs a feeling of heaviness, causing you to feel tired easily when walking, running, or doing any other physical activities involving the legs.

Varicose and spider veins are considered diseases of the blood vessels. As such, you are going to need the help of a doctor to treat the problem. When left untreated, the condition could lead to more serious health concerns that involve the heart. On the first few signs of varicose veins in your legs, be sure to consult with a certified health specialist to receive the proper treatments as soon as possible.

To induce weight loss amidst thyroid health issues, these diet tips may help:

1. Eat reduced amounts but more frequently everyday.

Thyroid problem is a tricky disease. It is a type of disease least diagnosed by health experts although a lot of overweight patients are suffering from it. Worse, not even their doctors realize that it is the main reason why they can’t seem to lose weight despite their momentous efforts. The thyroid gland controls the body’s metabolism. And one way to improve your body’s metabolic rate is to force your system to process the food that you eat everyday. Skipping meals and following an irregular eating habit is a sure-fire way to lower your metabolism.

2. Lean meats.

Meat is a good source of protein. However, you have to limit your intake to the lean parts alone. Protein can help you build muscles. When eating meat, make sure that you strip away the fatty parts. You’ve got to help yourself achieve a zero cholesterol diet to initiate weight loss despite your thyroid problem.

3. Uncooked fruits and vegetables are healthy.

Uncooked food such as fruits and vegetables would do your body a lot of good. Raw vegetables have all the nutrients intact, which is perfect because you are going to need them to process the fats inside your body. With the nutrients in place, fats are burned instead of stored in the blood stream. Fruits are known to be anti-oxidants as well. They contain lots of vitamins and minerals that can satisfy even the biggest hunger but won’t make you fat. There are many vegetables that are rich in fiber too. Fiber can help greatly in flushing away toxins, bad cholesterol, and triglycerides inside the body.

4. Eat healthy snacks.

If you have been depriving yourself of food but are not improving at all in the weight section, you have to check the type of foods that you are eating. Maybe you’re not choosing healthy foods at all. Your snacks should be well-monitored as well. Instead of fries and chips, choose the healthier options such as roasted nuts. Try to change your coffee habit into a tea habit as the latter is more natural, has less caffeine, and contains loads of nutrients that can help your body.

5. Watch your every bite.

If you’re suffering from thyroid problems, it is very important that you take caution in every single food item that you put inside your body. If you can, you must estimate the calorie content the food you have eaten and see how much you’ve gone overboard. When you do go overboard, be sure to burn the excess fats through regular exercises.

These five simple tips can help you greatly in losing weight even if you have thyroid problems. Follow a thyroid weightloss diet religiously and you’ll see positive effects in your body shape and frame in as little as four weeks.

Self-mutilation is quite popular among teens. Between men and women, women do it more frequently. Self-mutilation is the process of injuring one’s self, which is actually a problem associated with one’s behavior and mind.

What Are The Reasons For Self-Mutilation?

While there could be a hundred reasons why a person chooses to inflict wounds, the most common one is mounting agitation. When a person gets very angry, she would attempt to vent it into something or someone. It is not very unlikely that she’ll turn to herself to release her anger if she can’t find anything or anybody else to direct it to. Inflicting pain towards one’s self is a method of expelling tension and anxiety.

Some people find joy in mutilating themselves. For some reason, they find cutting their skin as an enjoyable act. They take pleasure in the jolt of pain that they feel as they glide a sharp object along the length of their arms. They also get happiness just by looking at the blood as it seeps out of the cut.

When a person feels gratified by the act of self-mutilation, they become addicted to it. They will experience an irresistible need to cut themselves from time to time, especially if there are anger or anxiety triggers. Self-mutilation is usually done in private, although it is possible for a person to do it in the company of another, with both of them enjoying the act.

What Can Be Done About It?

Since self-mutilation is most popular among teens, parents should be the first persons to be aware about it. They should be able to detect the problem at hand through the warning signs. Parents who see scar marks, carvings, brandings, bruising, and bites on their teens should be immediately concerned. It is best that they talk to their child and seek the help of a health expert.

Since self-mutilation is considered to be a psychological problem, it should be addressed by a qualified psychiatrist. The treatment procedure involves behavioral correction techniques and stress-management strategies. Therapies should be conducted on a regular basis, up until full recovery is achieved.

Self-help is also possible, and this is most applicable to adults who want to rid themselves of their destructive self-mutilation habits. Here are some tips that can help:

1. Try to find the strength inside you to keep yourself from cutting.
2. Calm your nerves by counting down from ten down to one.
3. Focus your senses and attention into something else. This will distract your mind from entertaining thoughts about self-mutilation.
4. Breathe slowly. Breathe through your nose and release air through the mouth.
5. Keep all blades and sharp objects out of reach, preferably in some place locked.
6. Use a felt-tip pen instead of a knife if you can’t control the urge of cutting yourself.
7. Find other ways to vent frustration and anger, like hitting a punching bag or squeezing a stress ball.

This is the reason why there are many weight loss methods devised in this day and age. Some involve the use of pills, while others infuse strict diet and exercise regimens. However, one of the easiest ways to lose fats in key areas of your body is through liposuction. It’s like being slim and more attractive in an instant. You don’t have to diet or to sweat a single drop to achieve the body style you desire.

What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves the extracting of excess fat deposits found between the muscles and the skin. The procedure is performed with a cannula, which is a small tube made of stainless steel. This device is actually a very powerful suction pump that has the ability to take out fats that have formed under the skin.

Small incisions on the skin would have to be made, which will serve as the entry point of the cannula. The tube is connected to a suction pump device in order to collect fats in the problem areas. The tube will create small holes or tunnels in the fatty layers underneath the skin. The tunnels would cause the fats to collapse, making them easier to remove. It will also cause the skin to follow a better body contour.

What are the benefits of Liposuction?

Liposuction is usually used to remove fats around the waist, abdomen, and thighs. It is usually undergone by women so that they can restore the natural curves of their body. Liposuction is effective for men too and they usually require in it in the flanks area.

After a liposuction session, the patient will immediately see the effects in her body. Excess fats are trimmed away, thanks to this modern medical technology. Liposuction has become very popular; making it possible to become slimmer virtually overnight.

Are There Risks Involved?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure. As such, there will be risks involved. Complications are rare but may arise with patients on a case-to-case basis. The most common problems seen are infections, seizures, nerve damage, and adverse reaction to anesthesia.

Cosmetic surgeons performing the procedure are challenged to remove just the right amount of fats from their patients. Taking out too much may put the patient at risk of serious health problems. Also, it is very important that the neighboring tissues not be damaged during the entire operation. When the connective tissues and blood vessels are disturbed, complications may arise. Liposuction can also induce fat clots, blood clots, excessive fluid accumulation or loss, thermal burning, pain, swelling, and asymmetry. On a more serious note, liposuction may induce deep vein thrombosis, cardiac arrest, and pulmonary complications, if and when the procedure is not performed properly.

A reputable diabetes journal recently published that cinnamon has the innate ability to reduce the body’s blood sugar level, while increasing insulin production. When taken by a diabetics on a regular basis, it can definitely help manage the disease.

How Cinnamon Helps Fight Diabetes

Cinnamon has insulin-like properties, said the researchers at University of South Carolina Beaufort. The spice is so powerful that it can actually be used as a cheaper substitute for insulin. It is most effective for people suffering from type II diabetes. Cinnamon contains bio-active components that can even prevent the onset of this disease.

In the study printed in the Diabetes Care journal, 60 diabetic men and women taking diabetes medications were put in a clinical test. Some are asked to continue with their medications, while others are placed on a placebo. And there are those who were given cassia cinnamon in different dosages for forty days.

Those who were taking cinnamon exhibit dropped blood glucose level of up to 29%. What’s more, the effect is even better for the group who are taking just a single gram of cinnamon compared to those who are getting three to six grams of it per dose. Why this is the case, the researchers are still evaluating. Aside from maintaining good blood sugar levels, cinnamon also lowers triglycerides and the level of bad cholesterol in the body.

Cinnamon and Weight Loss

Cinnamon is believed to be a weight loss inducer primarily because it has a cleansing effect on the digestive tract. This spice can help remove bacteria, fungus, and parasites from the stomach and the intestines. Therefore, food is processed better and faster. When this happens, the nutrients are effectively distributed all over the body and the waste products are flushed out accordingly.

Cinnamon can also boost one’s energy, which dieters can take advantage of. With enough energy, you can burn fats better through aerobic exercising and weight training. The energy boost is actually a product of glucose being processed by the body instead of storing it in the blood stream.

What’s more, it was found that cinnamon has the ability to block fats. With enough cinnamon in the body, fats cells won’t develop easily. Cinnamon contains lots of nutrients too, more particularly manganese. This spice is also an anti-oxidant in its own right.

To help insulin resistance and weight loss, cinnamon is best used as a tea or as an herbal infusion. It can be added to other natural health aides like honey to boost its effect. Cinnamon can also be taken in its natural form, although the capsule form is the better choice.

It’s not easy to know for a fact whether or not a person suffers from bulimia. The act of binge eating and purging are usually done by the patient secretly. Most of the time, a bulimic person tends to deny her condition. Individuals suffering from this disorder usually consume up to 20,000 calories at a time.

Types of Bulimia

There are two known sub-types of bulimia. And these two sub-types have different characteristics. These are:

1.Purging type bulimics

People who suffer from this type of bulimia go through self-induced vomiting in order to remove the food that they have consumed. They usually take laxatives, diuretics, and enemas for quicker results.

1.Non-purging type bulimics

This type occurs in as low as 6% to 8% of the cases only. The person who suffers from this type of bulimia performs excessive exercises to offset the calories that he consumed in after eating. However, the purging type bulimics also exercise excessively as a second method of controlling their weight.

Bulimia nervosa often starts during one’s adolescence stages. Compared to anorexia, it is quite hard to know if an individual is bulimic or not. A bulimic person tends to be within or slightly above average of their ideal weight. It is possible for a person to have irregular eating habits and excessive exercising patterns without reaching the complete diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa.

The continuous phase of rapid and out-of-control eating can only be stopped if another person has interrupted or if the patient’s stomach suddenly hurts. Pain occurs because of the overextension of the stomach, which is usually followed by self-induced vomiting or any other forms of purging. Purging and binge eating performed on a repeated manner can cause lots of problems to the digestive system.

Bulimia Treatment

Bulimia can be easily treated. Bulimia doesn’t require hospitalization unless there are apparent physical complications. Bulimia is best treated during its early stages. Help patients by monitoring their behavior and making sure that they maintain a reasonable eating pattern. Encourage them to stay on treatment and keep their doctor’s or therapist’s appointments.

The medical treatment for bulimia normally involves counseling and behavioral therapy sessions. Bulimia may be an eating disorder but it is not just about food. It is more about a problem of self-esteem and self-perception. Therapists deal with what triggers the behavior rather than focusing on the behavior itself. Antidepressants are usually prescribed as an oral medication. Group therapies are also effective in treating bulimia, as patients get to share their experiences with people having the same problems.
