Personality
development
grooms
an
individual and helps him make a mark of
his/her own. Individuals need to have a style of
their own for others to follow them. Do not blindly
copy others. You need to set an example for
people around. Personality development not only
makes you look good and presentable but also
helps you face the world with a smile.
Personality development goes a long way in
reducing stress and conflicts. It encourages
individuals to look at the brighter sides of life.
Face even the worst situations with a smile. Trust
me, flashing your trillion dollar smile will not only
melt half of your problems but also evaporate
your stress and worries. There is no point cribbing
over minor issues and problems.
Personality development helps you develop
a positive attitude in life. An individual with a
negative attitude finds a problem in every
situation. Rather than cribbing and criticizing
people around, analyze the whole situation and
try to find an appropriate solution for the same.
Remember, if there is a problem, there has to be
a solution as well. Never lose your cool. It would
make the situation worse.
It is essential for individuals to behave well with
people around. Being polite with others will not
only make you popular among other people but
also earn you respect and pride. You cant
demand respect by being rude with people
around. Personality development plays an
important role in developing not only your outer
but also inner self. Human being is a social
animal. One needs people around. An individual
needs to have that magnetic power which
attracts people towards him. You need to have
that charisma of yours. Personality development
helps you gain recognition and acceptance from
the society as well as people around.
Personality development plays an essential role
not only in an individuals professional but also
personal lives. It makes an individual disciplined,
punctual and an asset for his/her organization. An
in-disciplined individual finds it difficult to survive
in the long run. Personality development teaches
you to respect not only your Boss and fellow
workers but also family members, friends,
neighbors, relatives and so on. Never make fun of
anyone at the workplace. Avoid criticizing and
making fun of your fellow workers.
One should never carry his/her attitude or
personal grudges to work. Office is not a place
where you can be rude to others just because you
had a fight with your friend last night. Personality

Factors
that
may
affect
personal
appearance.
As an individual living and working in a
highly complex and competitive society, you
must recognize and understand the impact of
your appearance as it communicates first to you
and then to others. What you wear and the way
you look affects:
1. The way you think,
2. The way you feel,
3. The way you act or behave, and then
4. The way others react or respond to you.
While it is important to like what you wear and
the way you look, it is more important to
understand why or why not and specifically how
this affects you, others, and your life and the
achievement of your goals.
1. YOUR CLOTHING AND GROOMING AFFECT
THE WAY YOU THINK.
You cant afford to think negatively about
yourself due to some aspect of your appearance.
When you appear authentic, attractive, and
appropriate, you think more positively about
yourself, your situation, and others.
2. YOUR CLOTHING AND GROOMING AFFECT
THE WAY YOU FEEL.
You cant afford to feel depressed,
unproductive,
uncomfortable,
antagonistic,
argumentative, self-conscious, inferior, or full of
self-doubt. A positive personal appearance is a
fast, effective way to boost self-confidence and
overcome
anxiety
regarding
ability
or
acceptance. When you appear attractively
dressed and groomed, personally authentic, and
appropriate for the occasion, you feel more
comfortable, confident, capable, cooperative and
productive.
3. YOUR CLOTHING AND GROOMING AFFECT
THE WAY YOU ACT OR BEHAVE.
You cant afford to act awkward, insecure,
submissive, out-of-place, or out-of-order. Nor can
you afford to act defensive, defiant, arrogant,
aggressive, affected, superior, or conceited. A
positive personal appearance is one of the most
effective ways to improve behavior and enhance
performance level or productivity. When you
appear attractively dressed and groomed,

Cotton
Very cool, absorbent, and comfortable. Takes a
long time to dry compared to other fibers. Will
shrink when you wash it. Medium strength.
Ages well. Used in many things, for example tshirts, jeans, underwear, and upholstery.
Combed cotton is softer and better quality than
regular cotton.
Flax
(linen)
Cool and absorbent, like cotton. Wrinkles badly,
need a very hot iron to get rid of wrinkles.
Shrinks in water, dry cleaning is recommended.
Usually used in summer clothing and home
decor.
Ramie
Similar to cotton and linen, but fairly
expensive.
Polyester
does not wrinkle. Does not absorb water well.
Dries quickly, doesn't shrink in water. Not very
comfortable when a tight fitting garment is
100% polyester. One of the cheapest fibers.
Very strong. Also called Terylene.
Rayon
Similar to cotton: cool, absorbent, and
comfortable. Wrinkles easily and has only fair
strength. Also called viscose.
Nylon
Strongest major fiber. Very stretchy. Not very
absorbent, therefore not very comfortable.
Acetate
Very cheap, not very strong. Dry-clean only.
Feels silky and comfortable. Usually used in
linings.
Spandex
Very stretchy, will recover instantly to same
size. Best used in small percentages to add
comfort to a non-stretchy fabric. Also called
Lycra.
Acrylic
doesnt wrinkle easily, good strength. Used as a
cheaper, more washable substitute for wool
and also in fake furs.
PVC/Polyurethane
Stretchy and waterproof. Usually one side of
fabric will be PVC/polyurethane, the other side
(backing) will be another fiber like polyester.
Doesn't breathe and is not very comfortable if
used for an entire garment.
Silk
comes
from
a
silkworm.
Comfortable,
absorbent, wrinkles easily (especially when
wet). Sometimes dry-clean only. Very thin.
Wool
comes from a sheared sheep. Strong, warm,
dry, doesn't wrinkle easily. Can be coarse and
itchy, but high quality wool is soft. Dry-cleaning
works best.
Mohair
comes from an angora goat. Softer and shinier
than wool. Expensive.
Leather
comes from dead animals. Strong and
absorbent.

One of the best ways to soothe a baby is
by holding her upright and close to your
body. With the over-the-shoulder hold,
you'll carry your baby facing you, against
your chest, so that her chin rests on your
shoulder. Hold her with one arm under her
bottom and use your other hand to
support her neck and back. Research has

In nearly every sickness, especially when there is
fever or diarrhea, the sick person should drink
plenty of liquids: water, tea, juices, broths, etc.
3. Personal Cleanliness
It is important to keep the sick person clean. He
should be bathed every day. If he is too sick to
get out of bed, wash him with a sponge or cloth
and lukewarm water. His clothes, sheets, and
covers must also be kept clean. Take care to keep
crumbs and bits of food out of the bed.

Unavailable carbohydrate
Fat
Unavailable carbohydrate includes dietary fiber or
NSP (non starch polysaccharide). The term
unavailable is used because fiber cant be
digested and therefore doesnt provide us with
energy. However it is helpful in many other ways
described below.
Dietary fiber can be divided into two categories:
insoluble fiber and soluble fiber.
Insoluble fiber
Insoluble fiber (found in wholegrain cereals and
grains, and some fruits and vegetables) adds bulk
to the contents of the gut, speeding their transit
and it is thought to help protect against
constipation and other bowel disorders
Soluble fiber
Soluble fiber (found in pulses such as beans and
lentils, fruit, vegetables and also oats, barley and
rye) helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels and
to regulate blood sugar levels.
At present the average intake of fiber in the UK is
14g/day in adults. Experts recommend that fiber
intakes should be as high as 18g/day.
Consumption of brown, wholegrain, whole meal
and high fiber varieties of carbohydrate will help
to increase fiber intake.
Protein
Proteins
are
essential
for
growth
and
maintenance of body tissues and for the
production of substances such as hormones and
enzymes which help to control many functions
within the body. If insufficient carbohydrate and
fat are available in the diet, then protein may also
be used to provide the body with energy.
Proteins are made from building blocks known as
amino acids.
There are 20 different amino acids.
Some amino acids can be made in the body and
others can only be supplied by the diet -these are
known as the essential amino acids.
Some foods are better providers of these amino
acids than others. Those which contain all the
essential amino acids are known as high
biological value foods e.g. milk and dairy foods,
meat, eggs etc.

When you eat right, you not only feel better and
have more energy, but you also provide your
body with vital nutrients -- protein, carbohydrate,
fat, vitamins, minerals and fiber -- that maintain
your body's health. A nutrient-rich diet includes
whole grains, fish, nuts, eggs, poultry and lean
meats, fat-free or low-fat dairy foods such as
yogurt and fortified milk, and unsaturated fats
like olive oil and avocados. Avoid processed and
refined foods, which are typically loaded with
saturated fats and sugar. These foods have little
nutritional value and can cause your blood
glucose levels to rise and then quickly drop,
leaving you feeling tired.

Plates
Everyone thinks of plates as being made from
pottery (a porous ceramic). However, there are
also other materials used: picnic plates are often
made from polyethylene (PE) or melamine
because they don't break so easily; disposable
plates are usually made from paper (because it is
cheap) - although this is often coated with a thin
layer of polymer to prevent it going 'soggy' too
quickly or the pattern smudging.

Gardening enriches life. It adds beauty to our
homes, brings a sense of satisfaction and
accomplishment, provides a healthy form of
leisure and relaxation, and/or puts the unequaled
quality of home-grown produce on our table.
Gardening may be simple and accomplished in
limited spare time, or it can be treated as an allconsuming hobby. Regardless of the objectives
and emphasis, understanding basic concepts of
plant culture and care increases chances for
success and brings pleasure to the gardening
experience. This web site is designed for the

Layering: Plants

propagated with any of the above mentioned
methods may respond to layering. Layering
actually is a type of stem cutting only. But the
difference between the two is that in normal
stem cutting the stems are cut away from the
mother plant and then they are forced to root. In
layering, first the roots are formed on a stem of a
mother plant and only after that the stem is cut
off and is planted as a new plant. Plants grown
from layering will fruit earlier than the ones
grown from seeds. Mature or semi-mature
branches are selected for layering, depending
upon the species. A ring of bark, about 1 to 2
c.m. wide is taken out just below a node. For
faster and profuse rooting to take place, rooting
hormones may be applied on the place from
where the bark has been removed. Wet
sphagnum moss in a shape of a ball is applied all
around the cut and its upper portion. The ball of
moss is then is covered with a piece of
transparent polythene sheet. Using a string, the
poly-sheet is tied firmly on to the moss ball. Keep
the strings a little loose on the upper end to
facilitate occasional watering, to keep the moss
wet all the time. When a large number of roots
are formed, the rooted branch is cut away from
the plant. After removal of the poly-sheet, the
branch is planted in soil. Place such newly
planted branches in semi-shaded place. If the
rooted branch has fewer roots, then it is
advisable to cut the branch gradually from the
main plant to prevent the shock.
Stooling: Stooling is a type of air
layering only. In this method the
branch from which the ring of
bark has been removed, is bent
down and the portion of the stem
from where the bark was
removed is inserted in the
ground. A stone is kept on the soil
to prevent the branch from springing out of soil.
After the roots are formed, the branch is cut off
from the plant end. The newly rooted branch
then is replanted.
Grafting: Mango, Chico And Golden Champa are
available mostly as grafted plants. These days
even Cashew, Jackfruit And Jamun plants are
being successfully being grafted. Decorative
plants such as hybrid red Mussaenda and cactus
plants too are available as grafts. Stock is a
rooted plant upon which a branch of a desired
variety of the plant is grafted. The branch, which
is being grafted, is called as scion. Grafting is
done on a stock plant, which has a very strong
root system. Chico plant is always grafted on a
sampling of Rayan (also called as Khirni)

consumers,
through recycling programs, to the manufacturing

- clean bottles and tins before putting in the
recycling bin. This prevents flies both at home
and
the
recycling
station.
- put a 'no junk mail' sticker on your letter
box. You'll be amazed at how much this reduces
your
rubbish.
- join the Freecycle movement - the idea is
simple: you give away for free what you have and
dont need and you receive for free what you
need, but dont have. This free cycle of goods
keeps lots of useful stuff out of landfill sites and is
about thinking globally and recycling locally. more
