A powerful drug that treats acne, Accutane is quite popular among those who suffer from a severe acne condition. Accutane is usually used for the treatment of cystic acne but is never really given to individuals who have mild acne breakouts. Before you decide on what to do with those pimples though, it is best to learn more about the skin condition. Often, we base our conclusions on things we see on commercials or unreliable data we read online and this usually involves believing in what one would call a myth. Here are the most popular myths about acne:

Acne Myth #1 Washing your face often enough will get rid of acne

Your pimples aren’t caused by dirt. In fact, frequent washing of the face may even irritate the skin but the question is, what causes pimples? The pores sticking together is one of the major reasons why you get pimples.

Acne Myth #2 Too much stress can cause acne

It is true that being under too much stress affects one’s hormones but did you know that certain psychiatric drugs can cause acne? If you are stressed out and taking antidepressants, the stress you are going through isn’t what’s causing your acne breakouts.

Acne Myth #3 The sun cures acne

Sun exposure is beneficial for us to get that much needed Vitamin D. However, sun exposure after 9 in the morning will only cause skin damage. Aside from causing wrinkles and sunburn, too much sun exposure may lead to skin cancer.

Acne Myth #4 What you eat can either stop breakouts or cause them

Although diet is connected to a number of health conditions or disappearance of such conditions, experts say that there is still a need for hard evidence to prove this theory. It doesn’t hurt to eat healthy though but do not count on it to get rid of your acne.

Acne Myth #5 Sex causes acne

This myth is an age-old one when people from the 17th century wanted to discourage pre-marital sex.

If you think your acne could no longer be treated with topical treatments, asking your dermatologist if you are eligible to use Accutane is a good idea. Make sure however that you read more about Accutane before you start using it – some people are more sensitive to drugs than others and getting an allergic reaction won’t help you at all.

One of the more exciting marketing strategies of the last ten years has been the growth in the use of coupons. The idea is simple. A central marketing agency promotes the named businesses by offering discount vouchers. Go to this restaurant, eat a magnificent meal, and enjoy a discount of 50%. This is a great promotion for the restaurant and the statistics show the majority of people who come to try out the meals return and pay the full price later on. Now let the pharmaceutical industry play with this idea. Suppose the drug manufacturers were to offer coupons to their loyal customers, how would the marketing plan work? Well, for a moment, consider the problem of the generic market. When the patent runs out on a brand, others may copy the chemistry and sell a generic version of the drug for a significantly lower price. From the customer’s point of view, this is wonderful news. The same drug is available. It has been approved by the FDA as an exact match for the original branded drug. And it comes at a heavily discounted price. Not surprisingly, this knocks a big hole in the profits of the branded manufacturer, so this manufacturer will search for a way to keep the generic manufacturer out of the market.

Enter the copayment coupons. The idea of copayments has been central to insurance policies for some years. This requires the patient to pay a proportion of the medical costs. It is actually self-insurance of that part of the costs. The justification advanced by insurance companies is that it reduces moral hazard, i.e. it is an encouragement to people only to seek treatment when it is genuinely necessary. Through the coupons, the manufacturers offer a form of subsidy to the patients if they copay for branded drugs. This makes the branded drugs more affordable and maintains more of their profit margin. Obviously, if the brands were losing too much of their market share, the manufacturers would have to reduce their prices to compete with the generics. In theory, the coupons represent a compromise. The patients pay less for the brand, but more than for the generic. The manufacturers give away a part of their profits, but less than through a price reduction to complete with the generic directly.

There is now a class action effectively accusing the manufacturers of fraud through their use of these coupons. As it stands, the insurance companies pay the manufacturer a fixed price for every branded pill or tablet prescribed. The manufacturers and pharmacists have been forgetting to tell the insurers about the coupons. It is highly relevant that the patients have been paying less at the drugstore counters. Because there are no savings to the insurance companies in paying for the generics, the premium rates stay high. This makes cheap health insurance even less likely to appear. In reality everyone is losing. Customers are still paying more than they should. Both individual and group health insurance plans cost more than they should. All this being purely for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry. The class action describes these coupons as part of a bait and switch scam. If the courts agree, heavy damages will be awarded and there will be compensation available to some consumers.

Everyone is used to the idea that, if you don’t own a big ticket item, you can still get one even though you don’t have the cash to buy. This may involve a loan or some other credit arrangement, or you can rent. We have moved from a society in which people used to save until they could afford to buy, to one where you can satisfy your wishes instantly with a good credit score and proof of your identity. When it comes to vehicles, it’s either been a case of talking nicely to neighbors to borrow their car in an emergency or go to a rental agency. Now we have moved beyond the carpooling arrangements into car-sharing. This is both good news and bad. At a community level, there are an increasing number of self-help groups who are making their vehicles available to each other. At the top end of the market, established renters like Hertz are making vehicles available on demand. New organizations like Zipcar also leave vehicles in designated places and anyone with a card can get in and drive them away.

The established renters are simply using the existing fleet in a more flexible way to generate money. Satisfactory insurance cover is already in place. But problems have been emerging in the less formal market. If you put your own vehicle into a pool and anyone can drive it, what happens to your own insurance cover? The answer is simple. If you do this on a regular basis and you are paid, this is a commercial use. As a private owner, this invalidates your policy.

Now states like Washington, Oregon and California are producing laws to clarify the insurance situation. In Washington, for example, we now have HB 2384 which requires all organizations offering car-sharing services to carry a minimum of $180,000 liability cover, and at least enough comprehensive and collision cover to pay fair market value should the shared vehicle be a total loss. This protects vehicle owners who can make additional money during tough times without losing their own auto insurance cover. It also imposes tough new requirements on the sharing organizations to ensure the vehicles are properly maintained and safe to drive. The public not only need auto insurance cover, they need to know the vehicles they drive away are safe.

A couple of decades ago getting an air ticket was a very exciting moment in anybody’s life. In fact, your destination didn’t even matter, as far as air travelling was always an adventure. At times you could turn up at the air port and find an empty seat for a very cheap price. Now even the thought of going through airport security is enough to dampen enthusiasm. What happened with this promise of adventure? What went wrong with the magic? Well, frankly speaking, it was never that exciting. For all the life of an air hostess was sold as being high status and an excuse to party all round the world, it’s always been hard, demanding work and not that well paid. The passengers considered the international flights to be better than the domestic ones, because many airlines stocked up with alcohol and let passengers drink themselves into a dazed state. At that time travelling by air was a novelty, something you did quite rare, only on special occasions. Only when something becomes a routine does it become boring or worse. Now, of course, everything that can spoil the pleasure of flying is done.

First of all the shrinking baggage allowance should be mentioned. Every time you need to use air port service, it seems the allowance has just been cut again. However, it is worth noting that your experience can vary dramatically depending on who you meet when checking in. Some members from the staff will allow you to have some extra pounds. But others obviously find it amusing to watch you pull out your credit card for a painful surcharge – it’s either that or unpack in front of the queue and throw the least desired things into the nearest bin. New problems appeared even with carry-on baggage. Many airlines never weighed the bags. Now size is dictated and weight controlled. Some people find the extra charges on baggage work out more than the cost of the ticket.

Then we get to the procedure of security screening, and your “junk” is at risk of physical examination. Most people find it demeaning to take off their shoes and explain what all the metal bits are when the detector cries in a crazy fashion. But the worst part is the random search. Of course no airport will say how many they pull for these searches nor how they choose the victims. It’s an additional humiliation to be endured in the most graceful way. In this case anything less than complete obedience can trigger intense hostility from the security staff who have the power to deny you access to the flight if you upset them. If not diverted behind the screen or into a private room, you then have to put the shoes back on and redress under the watchful eyes of all those waiting behind you. Is there anything more humiliating than this?

So even if you’re an optimist and find cheap flights to somewhere exciting, you still have to go through several humiliating ritual procedures before you get anywhere near the airplane. At times you may discover a whole raft of charges that you can’t afford and have to turn away voluntarily. We can only hope that the terrorist threat will diminish and eventually disappear and we can go back to the time when a cheap flight was something to look forward to with a positive attitude.

This is, of course, a nonsensical title. People do not choose when they are born. It is pure accident whether people are born into a time of low or high birth rates. Right now, the birth rate is only just enough to maintain the population at its current levels. Even so, the unemployment rate among the young remains stubbornly high. The reason is that too many Boomers are staying in their jobs. Go back a few years and people were lining up to retire from 55 onwards. This was great for the young because there were always enough jobs. Now times are tough for everyone. This forces us to look in more detail at the changes in the job market and its implications for life cover. If you go back to the 1950′s, the job market was dominated by men. Women were expected to marry and have children. This division of labor was very convenient because it always ensured enough work to go round. There were a large number of low-skilled jobs for the women before they married and after the children were grown up. The rest went to the men, regardless of ability. The key factor was the lack of any automation. Before the computers came along, every job required hands and a brain to tell them what to do. Then there was a slow change as technology sneaked into the workplace. Low-skilled jobs disappeared or could be managed by a fraction of the previous number of employees.

A further feature was offshoring. As companies looked for ever more profit, they moved their labor-intensive jobs to countries where the wages were lower. Suddenly, there were not as many jobs around. Now we are dealing with the fallout from the recession. One of the first results was everyone who had 401(k) portfolios was looking at big losses as the stock market crashed. Then companies began looking at their retirement packages. Many realized they were faced by a workforce that was going to live longer and make ever larger claims for medical expenses during retirement. The result was the decision to cut the pension benefits and, where life cover had been part of the remuneration package, to refuse to continue paying the premiums. Overnight, Boomers found their security removed. They had been planning an early retirement based on a good nest egg saved in the 401(k). Now many are planning to keep on working for as long as possible.

Except, as the technology develops, many Boomers now find they no longer have the skills to do even the simple tasks relying on using the latest packages and apps. This should be good news for our young, but they find themselves in competition for those jobs with people all around the world. With so many jobs now based on teleworking, employees can be based anywhere there is an internet connection. Sadly, the unions have lost their power to defend local jobs. Downsizing and offshoring is the new corporate reality. All this should force Boomers to review their life insurance provision. If their employers have canceled the company policy, term or permanent replacement must be found. This is the time to get life insurance quotes from all the companies to see how much it will cost to repair the damage.

When buying car insurance there are a lot of things you can choose from that the insurance company will want to sell you as being “essential”. Keep in mind, however, that with every additional coverage option included with your policy your premium gets higher and higher. So if your aim is to get cheap car insurance the most logic choice would be getting only the mandatory coverage which is third party liability. Most car owners do this way and are happy about it. But besides the mandatory coverage type there are some optional things that you should really consider buying if you want your vehicle to be covered in different situations. Here are some options you should think about:

Collision and comprehensive coverage

These two types of coverage are often bundled into a single product and are the most popular from the optional section. Their popularity is partially due to the fact that most lending institutions require their customers to purchase collision and comprehensive coverage when taking auto loans. But even if you’ve paid off your loan or bought the car on your own account these coverage types will certainly come in handy since they pay out in different situations when your car gets damage regardless of who’s at fault. A great protection against car theft, fire damage and collisions with animals among many other things.

Umbrella coverage

This coverage option should be strongly considered by those who finance their car through a loan. If you’re unlucky to have your car damaged or totaled in an accident even in a couple of months after buying it there will be a difference between its initial market value and what you will receive through car insurance due to depreciation. Umbrella coverage covers the gab between these two values and secures your money that can be better spent on other things rather paying for depreciation of your vehicle.

Uninsured motorist coverage

Uninsured drivers pose a great threat to normal car owners since they won’t cover your costs in case of an accident. This also applies to hit-and-run drivers, who are a headache for insurance companies. With uninsured motorist coverage you have your car insurance provider acting as the other party’s insurer if they don’t have enough insurance coverage or any at all. Assuming that there are millions of car owners choosing not to buy insurance for their vehicle these days you may actually want to buy this option no matter what.

“We urge motorists to set aside some time to carry out a series of simple checks,” says Fults. “Some may seem like common sense, but you’ll be surprised at how many drivers forget after the summer. For example, it is crucial to ensure all your lights are clean and working properly. Always replace any broken bulbs immediately. If you don’t, you will not only find it difficult to see the road clearly, you run the risk of not being seen by other drivers.” * Get your car checked: A professional check is worth it, for added peace of mind. * Check your tires: Rain, snow and ice can make roads lethal. Check your tire tread and make sure the air pressure is okay. * Light the way: Keep lights clean and make sure they are working. * Get charged up: A dead battery is the main cause of breakdowns, so get it checked and replaced if necessary. * Cooling system: Ensure this is checked and that the anti-freeze content meets the manufacturer requirements. * Wipers: Check windscreen wipers and replace if they fail to clear the screen correctly. * Fuel: Ensure you have more than enough for your journey. * Some snacks, such as energy bars In addition, it is a good idea to put together an emergency winter survival kit so that you are prepared should you breakdown. Remember to include a flashlight, blanket, ice scraper and a first aid kit.
