History of Cupid, The God of Love

  

Cupid is the most famous of Valentine symbols and everybody knows that boy armed with bow and arrows, and piercing hearts. He is known as a mischievous, winged child armed with bow and arrows. The arrows signify desires and emotions of love, and Cupid aims those arrows at Gods and Humans, causing them to fall deeply in love. Cupid has always played a role in the celebrations of love and lovers. In ancient Greece he was known as Eros, the young son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. To the Roman's he was Cupid, and his mother was Venus.

Cupid and Psyche

           There is a very interesting story about Cupid and His mortal Bride Psyche in Roman mythology. Venus was jealous of the beauty of Psyche, and ordered Cupid to punish the mortal. But instead, Cupid fell deeply in love with her. He took her as his wife, but as a mortal she was forbidden to look at him. Psyche was happy until her sisters persuaded her to look at Cupid. As soon as Psyche looked at Cupid, Cupid punished her by leaving her. Their lovely castle and gardens vanished too. Psyche found herself alone in an open field with no signs of other beings or Cupid. As she wandered trying to find her love, she came upon the temple of Venus. Wishing to destroy her, the goddess of love gave Psyche a series of tasks, each harder and more dangerous than the last. For her last task Psyche was given a little box and told to take it to the underworld. She was told to get some of the beauty of Proserpine, the wife of Pluto, and put it in the box. During her trip she was given tips on avoiding the dangers of the realm of the dead. She was also warned not to open the box. But Temptation overcame Psyche and she opened the box. But instead of finding beauty, she found deadly slumber. Cupid found her lifeless on the ground. He gathered the deadly sleep from her body and put it back in the box. Cupid forgave her, as did Venus. The gods, moved by Psyche's love for Cupid made her a goddess.

Today, Cupid and his arrows have become the most popular of love signs, and love is most frequently depicted by two hearts pierced by an arrow, Cupid's arrow.

BASIC ADVICE FOR PREVENTING ACNE

 Acne is the one skin condition that dermatologists can guarantee everyone will experience at least once in their lives. Adolescents are prone towards developing the most severe cases, but the risk continues well into adulthood. The causes of acne are still undetermined, though there is evidence pointing strongly towards factors such as sebum clogging and skin damage due to bacteria. There are also several known ways that help in preventing acne.

 

Wash target areas

Experts from the hospital state that water washes away dirt and irritants on the surface of the skin, helping reduce the risk of acne. However, too much washing can cause irritation. It is advisable to use gentle cleansers and washing twice a day, targeting areas that are prone to acne development.

Don’t mess with your skin

The first thing that any dermatologist will say about acne treatment is to avoid tampering with the skin too much. Keeping it moist and clean is going to help, but picking or messing with any blemishes or whiteheads is going to cause problems. Tampering with the skin in this manner can lead to scarring or infection, making any effort in preventing acne more difficult.

Cleansers to dry excess oil

Sebum is believed to play a role in acne formation when it clogs the pores. The oil becomes trapped in the skin, forming acne. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both common acne treatment ingredients, can be used to help remove excess sebum from the skin. Both substances are available in most over-the-counter acne gels or creams. People should take care to use only one of these active ingredients, as the combination of both on the skin can cause irritation and damage.

Minding make-up

Being mindful of one’s make-up can go a long way towards preventing acne. It is advisable to avoid the heavy use of foundation make-up, as it is known to irritate the skin. Powder-based cosmetics are also more advisable than cream-based ones because they cause fewer problems for the skin. It is important that all make-up be thoroughly washed off and removed from your face before going to sleep. The make-up can clog skin pores. Throwing away old make-up and cleaning any applicators can also help in preventing acne.

Loosen your clothing

Loose-fitting clothing is better for avoiding body pimples than tight-fitting clothing. Tight clothing traps heat and moisture, which can cause skin irritation. Looser clothing allows skin to “breathe” more naturally, and it produces less friction on the skin. It is also advisable to avoid tight straps, backpacks, helmets, and sports equipment. Excessive friction on the skin has been known to increase one’s risk of developing acne.

Avoid foods that make it worse

There is no scientific evidence that food plays a role in the development or alleviation of acne. However, if a specific food is causing the acne to worsen over time, then the sensible action is to stop eating it. There is no known correlation between the two, but dermatologists agree that there is no real harm in avoiding potential trigger foods until the acne clears up.

There are a number of ways to help in the prevention of acne, and these methods can also play a part in helping an acne treatment product work faster. It all boils down to taking better care of the skin and being mindful of what common substances can become irritants, so they can be avoided.

Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game.

Friday, 2 March 2012

Today is the 50^th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, which is scored by a single player in an NBA game. Many scorers have tried to beat his record but it seems the closest one is only 81 points by Kobe Bryant in 2006.

It seems to be impossible that no one in NBA will ever reach the century mark. 19 points away from Wilt, Kobe, believes that someone will reach that magical 3 digits scores.

 “I think in time that day will come. Somebody will do it, eventually it’s going to happen,” said Bryant, who is the same rank as those legendary players like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson.

The record of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game was not caught on tape and media photographer of him in action. The only picture they have is Wilt holding up a sign with 100 stated in Sixers’s locker room.

It will be fast burning hot issues in the sport world if the video of 100 point game exist. If Kobe is right about there will be a player to beat up 100 point record, it will be a historical moment in NBA.

To score 3 digits requires a lot of training and support from people around the world. Chamberlain’s night was not cherished as because of smaller media demands, but if it happens again in this era, highlights will be in every cover page of the entire sport media world and videos will be replaying countless times.

Big scores of 81 points on that January night were definitely an astonishing moment and his scores seemingly to be an ‘untouchable’ record.
