Beauty Tips & Tricks : Beauty Secrets Identify the beauty in your personality through our beauty secret tips
Beauty is not skin deep, a real beauty has more secret attributes to her than the naked eye can see. Attributes that combine to make a really beautiful individual are
Awareness of others....aware of not just the exciting few but of everyone and liking all-or if not liking at least tolerance, the habit of noticing other's faults are forgivable or balanced by their equivalent virtues.

  • Beauty Secret number one is Confidence... this takes you right to the centre of things, when you have it you belong everywhere, so what will give you confidence? Good looks plus good grooming; but that is not all. Confidence means that when you are faced with an embarrassing situation, you should not get panicky and you should know how to make the best of the situation. Confidence in other words means to be self assured always.
  • Good Morning is another secret of beauties.....this should be part of your regular routine. There is nothing to make you feel as awkward or self-conscious as the knowledge that you have forgotten to wear your deodorant (when you find your escort recoiling from you every time you go close to him). Good grooming therefore means that you should pay attention to even the smallest secrets of beauty. You will find this an irksome task in the beginning but slowly this will be a habit with you.
  • Watch your manners... another important beauty secret, play watchdog about your own mannerisms and try to push them out of your life. Recognize an ugly mannerism when you see one. Here are some to watch out for.

    Don'ts of Beauty Care
    There are certain things which all men and women should take care of to maintain their beauty forever.
    Never sleep with make up on is a priority beauty care tip. Always clean your face with damp cotton wool and cleansing milk before going to bed.

  • Don't retouch an old lipstick, clean the lips and put on a completely new coat. This will look fresher and keep it original color better.
  • Don't wear scarlet lipstick if you are very pale it will make you look even paler. If you must wear this color, then add a little more color to your sin with a shade darker foundation and add a little more color to your cheeks. This goes a long way in your personal beauty care.
  • Don't wear a beige lipstick if you have mousey hair and a beige skin-your lips will blend into your complexion and won't be noticeable.
  • Don't wear pale lipstick if you have a problem skin, the blemishes will show up darker than your lips. Also, if pale lipstick is worn over discolored teeth, the teeth will look dirtier and yellowier.
  • Don't eat too many chocolates, a widely disregarded beauty care tip. The cocoa flavoring stimulates oil glands to become active and the high fat and sugar content encourages spots. Try eating apples instead.
  • Don't eat more than two oranges a day; their high acid content can cause a red rash. The same applies to grape fruits and strawberries. Eat them by all means but don't overeat them.
  • Don't fall for fizzy drinks in hot weather. They don't quench thirst as well as cold water, fruit juice or tea and they are laden with sugar. Cola, like chocolate contains cocoa extract and therefore stimulates oil glands to over activity, follow this beauty care tip for a healthy and beautiful living.
  • Avoid taking more than two cups of coffee or tea during a day. Instead, learn to take fruit juice, lassi, carrot or cucumber juice.
  • Don't be a grease spot. Your skin will absorb the nourishment it needs within 20 minutes, so wipe off the excess cream and then sleep happily.

    What is a proxy server, and how do they work?

    What is a proxy server, and how do they work?

    Proxies are store-and-forward caches. When you configure your web browser to use a proxy, it never connects to the URL. Instead, it always connects to the proxy server, and asks it to get the URL for you. Proxies can be used as a sort of firewall, because it isolates you from connecting to the Internet.

    How does a proxy server work?
    A proxy server receives a request for an Internet service (such as a Web page request) from a user. If it passes filtering requirements, the proxy server, assuming it is also a cache server, looks in its local cache of previously downloaded Web pages. If it finds the page, it returns it to the user without needing to forward the request to the Internet. If the page is not in the cache, the proxy server, acting as a client on behalf of the user, uses one of its own IP addresses to request the page from the server out on the Internet. When the page is returned, the proxy server relates it to the original request and forwards it on to the user.
    To the user, the proxy server is invisible; all Internet requests and returned responses appear to be directly with the addressed Internet server. (The proxy is not quite invisible; its IP address has to be specified as a configuration option to the browser or other protocol program.)

    What are the advantages of using a proxy server?
    An advantage of using a proxy server is that its cache can serve all users. If one or more Internet sites are frequently requested, these are likely to be in the proxy's cache, which will improve user response time. In fact, there are special servers called cache servers.
    The functions of proxy, firewall, and caching can be in separate server programs or combined in a single package. Different server programs can be in different computers. For example, a proxy server may in the same machine with a firewall server or it may be on a separate server and forward requests through the firewall.
    There are different types of proxy servers with different features, some are anonymous proxies, which are used to hide your real IP address and some are used to filter sites, which contain material that may be unsuitable for people to view.
    When you connect to a web site, your true IP address will not be shown, but the proxy servers IP will, this does not mean that your completely anonymous. The proxy server will have logs of IP's that used the proxy server and the times.

    So why should you use a proxy?
    You can use a proxy server if you have a child and wish to restrict the sites they are viewing, you will need to make sure you get the correct type of proxy because not all proxies filter sites. You can use it to protect yourself, it can be used to hide your IP which is useful because it means hackers can not get info about you when using it. They will only get the proxy servers IP. Proxy servers are not hard to set up, no hardware or software is needed, you just need to configure your browser to connect through it.
    Some ISP's (Internet Service Providers) make all their users use a proxy server, for example in the United Arab Emirates, the main ISP makes all users use a proxy server which blocks sites with unsuitable material. It does this using the meta tags in the HTML code used to make the web page. Some ISP's may give you a choice so you can use one or not. If you want to use a proxy server there are many around with different functions, you just have to get the one that suits your needs best.
