			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Public Employee Retirement System is for government employees except for teachers and students. This is a mandatory membership and all members should fill out a form of application at the beginning of their employment. It is a benefit plan that gives benefits to employees once they retire. This will be based on the number of years they rendered service and on their average salary. </p>
<p>The Public Employees Retirement system also covers survivor and disability protection. The system also allows those with 30 years of service to file for an early retirement. They also provide death benefits and beneficiary benefits. Every Public Employee Retirement System of every state is committed to ensuring the retirement benefits of every employee. </p>
<p>Contributions are deducted from the employee&#8217;s payrolls. The amount may vary for every employee depending on their retire plan and coverage. Currently, the contribution rate is 8.5 percent of the salary of an employee and will increase up to 9.5% in the year 2007. Employer contributions however, range from 13 to 17%.<span id="more-1899"></span></p>
<p>The benefits that you will get once you retire are dependent on your contribution and position as well as your employer&#8217;s contribution. The benefits are fixed depending on the legislation set by every state. That is why it is always recommended for members to know their benefits and coverage so that they can get the most of their contributions once they retire.</p>
<p>Although the Public Employee Retirement System is compulsory for all employees, there are still criteria that you have to meet to become a member. Here are the criteria that you need to meet to become a member for most states&#8217; Public Employee Retirement Systems:</p>
<p>1. The applicant should be a regular employee and the annual salary of the applicant should be $1,500 or higher.</p>
<p>2. The applicant&#8217;s position should be under the coverage of the Social Security System.</p>
<p>Generally, these are some of the most common grounds for ineligibility:</p>
<p>1. If the person does not meet the minimum annual salary required which is $1,500.</p>
<p>2. If the applicant is not covered by the Social Security.</p>
<p>3. If you are a temporary employee</p>
<p>4. If you are currently employed by the Job Training Partnership Act and being paid by their federal funds.</p>
<p>5. Students who are employed by their schools and universities where they attend regular classes sometimes may not qualify for the PERS.</p>
<p>6. Inmates in correctional institutions are not eligible.</p>
<p>7. Mental health and retardation patients do not qualify for the Public Employee Retirement System.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems nowadays children are preoccupied with either television or video games. But it wasn’t that long ago when children had to use their ingenuity and imaginations to be entertained when playing and having fun. Parents can bring back this ideology back into our homes by turning off those dreaded machines, getting back to the basics and bringing into our homes the classic toys that have entertained and educated children.</p>
<p>With the advent of the “video age”, there is no doubt toy companies feel slighted on the bottom line. But some toys stand the test of time and never go out of style, still entertaining and thrilling children for decades, with no let up in sight. Let’s explore one of these classic toys and an icon of the toy industry:<br />
<span id="more-1895"></span><br />
Etch a Sketch</p>
<p>Invented in the late 1950’s by a gentleman named Arthur Granjean (he called it “L ‘Ecran Magique”), meaning the magic screen; in his garage. The Ohio Art Company decided to take a chance on his “drawing toy” and renamed it the Etch A Sketch and in 1960 launched a successful television advertisement campaign to promote it.</p>
<p>The response was so overwhelming, Ohio Art continued to produce them until noon Christmas Eve, 1960. The toys were then immediately shipped to the west coast so people there could have the Etch A Sketch in time for Christmas.</p>
<p>The Etch A Sketch has entertained over 100 million adults and children in 67 countries worldwide. The basic design pretty much stayed the same, although Ohio Art did offer hot pink and blue frames in the 1970’s, but found that people preferred the traditional red frame. Additionally, the Etch A Sketch Club was formed in 1978 and has an average of 2,000 members worldwide.</p>
<p>For fun, take a poll of your friends or coworkers, and ask them how many of them ever drew something with an Etch A Sketch. Your numbers will be astonishing; it was and still is, one of the world’s most popular toys!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve been wracking your brain to come up with creative anniversary gifts to express your love and affection for your spouse in a unique way. Whether you&#8217;re on your paper or diamond anniversary, it can be difficult to summarize the complex admixture of love, passion, camaraderie, and intimacy that defines marriage. It can be particularly vexing to stuff all these complex emotions into a gift that really means something. This is the reason why the vast majority of so called creative anniversary gifts end up either gimmicky or ridiculous or overly ornate and sentimental. </p>
<p>So is there a way out of this anniversary gift conundrum?<span id="more-1891"></span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an idea that you&#8217;re guaranteed not to have thought of before &#8211; creating a personalized magazine cover for your anniversary. The process is simple, cheap, and wonderfully fun. You can design your magazine cover around photos that you already have, and you can do it in almost total secrecy and thus be able to surprise your honey with a truly unique set of creative anniversary gifts (assuming you also add on something more traditional, like chocolates, jewelry, or dinner out on the town).</p>
<p>Easy to use online personal magazine cover templates can help you produce professional quality results quickly. Best of all, you control the design and content elements, so you can create a tone that truly reflects your dynamic as a couple. If you&#8217;re silly together, you can dress up a fake magazine cover highlighting each other&#8217;s idiosyncrasies as bold headlines for the magazine. If you&#8217;re more sentimental, you can cast your spouse as celebrity royalty and include special poems, lyrics, or meaningful thoughts as headlines, bylines, or photo commentary. The creative stops you can pull out to express your dedication are nearly infinite.</p>
<p>Personalized creative anniversary gifts await you at YourCover.com, the top place to go to dream up and print out your personalized magazine covers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Korean double eyelid surgery pictures are very popular. The plastic surgery of Korean double eyelid surgery pictures are posted before and after surgery on many websites. Many encyclopedic pictures and photographs are also available. Generally Blepharoplasty is performed for an Asian heritage, when the change is needed in the eyelid skin fold or eyelid crease. The eyelid crease in the Korean double eyelid may be horizontal or nasal tapering.    The thickness of the eyelid and eyebrow can be reduced.  Korean double eyelid surgeons explain that Asian heritage have an individual concept of beauty and they do not like “Westernization” of eyelid.</p>
<p>The Korean double eyelid surgery pictures show some example.<span id="more-1889"></span>  A woman had a right double upper eyelid with nasal tapering crease and single left upper eyelid.  The left upper eyelid is operated and given a matching look to the right upper eyelid.  .</p>
<p>Many people simply perform the double eyelid surgery to look prettier.  The Asians generally perform the “crease to the eyelids” surgery to make them look white and bright. Many Asians living in United States like to opt for this surgery to look white like them.  They look better in the picture after the Korean double eyelid surgery performed to them.  The Korean double eyelid surgery can add extra beauty.  The surgery is easy and affordable.  Many people dislike altering their body’s real appearance.  They say it is a nature’s gift.  But after looking at Korean double eyelid surgery pictures, they will directly switch over to that surgery.  The Korean double eyelid surgery pictures are available on Internet, in encyclopedias and many medical books.  By viewing these pictures, one can opt for the surgery to look bright, white and attractive.  Eyes speak more than lips and hence eyelids give extra beauty to the eyes. Think of double eyelids, the beauty doubles.  Korean double eyelid surgery pictures are posted in the many popular websites.  The Korean actresses love to have double eyelid surgery to look more beautiful.</p>
<p>The appearance of the double eyelid gives alertness in the eye.  The eyebrows position also gives extra beauty to the double eyelid.  The sagging eyebrows may give sad or angry appearance.  Hence the eyebrows can be changed according to the double eyelid appearance.  Thus the Korean double eyelid surgery pictures tempt those who want to change their single eyelid into double eyelid.  Easy and affordable surgery can turn the appearance of the face and double eyelid eyes can be mesmerizing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While male-pattern baldness primarily occurs in adult men, there are instances when teenage boys can experience the disorder. It can be highly traumatic for a teenager to begin losing his hair. They can be obsessively focused on their appearance to begin with and going bald can add to this already stressful situation. They will want to seek immediate medical assistance to stop the condition from worsening.</p>
<h2>When to be Concerned</h2>
<p>Hair loss is not uncommon. In fact, everyone loses up to 100 head hairs every day. This is a natural process that involves old hair falling out to make room for new hair. It is not a cause for alarm. But if you are losing more than that or your hair seems to be coming out in clumps, you need to see a doctor to make sure there is nothing seriously wrong. Underlying medical conditions can cause hair loss in teenage boys.</p>
<p><span id="more-1887"></span></p>
<h2>Causes of Hair Loss in Teenagers</h2>
<p>Teenage boys can experience hair loss for a variety of reasons. A common culprit is scalp ringworm which is a contagious infection that can cause permanent hair loss. Certain hairstyles or styling routines such as braiding or dyeing the hair can also result in hair loss in teenagers. The most challenging to treat is male-pattern baldness which has been known to develop in teenage boys by age 15.</p>
<h2>Types of Hair Loss Treatment</h2>
<p>The cause of the hair loss determines the appropriate treatment regimen. The most popular treatment for male-pattern baldness is with oral medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These drugs effectively stop the production of a particular hormone that interferes with hair growth. Results range from stopping hair loss to actual hair regrowth. There are many factors that determine the effectiveness of a treatment on a particular patient.</p>
<h2>Is <a href="http://www.medsperitem.com/">Propecia</a> an appropriate treatment?</h2>
<p>Looks are important to all teenagers. Because of the impact on their self-esteem, teenagers are more likely to seek medical attention for hair loss sooner than their adult counterparts. Unfortunately, teens must be at least 18 years old to be  <a href="http://www.medsperitem.com/teenagers-with-male-pattern-baldness.html">treated with propecia</a>. Hair loss concealers that cover the balding area may be a temporary option until teenagers are old enough for medical treatment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The systemic steroid Prednisone is used as a rescue drug for asthma attacks. However, it is also used for a range of other ailments making <a href="http://www.searchingformeds.com/articles/prednisone-and-migraine-headaches.html">prednisone</a> a very important innovation in medical technology. Also known to treat migraines, the steroid provides instant relief. Migraine headaches are painful but apart from the pain, those who suffer from it are also sensitive to light. If you are suffering from migraine right now, you might be in a dark and relatively quiet room &#8211; a refuge for those who experience migraine headaches often.</p>
<p>Although the corticosteroid is an effective drug for migraines, it is only advised for those who suffer from extended migraines. This is where your physician comes in &#8211; he or she will determine whether you should use the prodrug or not.</p>
<p><span id="more-1885"></span></p>
<p>The first step of course is to determine what kind of migraine you are suffering from. An intractable migraine for example can make you suffer from painful headaches for days. What&#8217;s worse is that it can even cause aneurysms. A migraine that doesn&#8217;t last very long on the other hand can be easily treated with OTC medication. Pain relievers such as paracetamol would already be enough for this kind of migraine.</p>
<p>It is best to talk to your physician if you think that your migraine is already getting worse. Your doctor will know what kind of drug you should take based on your medical history. Once you have that drug, whether or not it is the corticosteroid, you should make sure that you drink your medication as directed by your doctor.</p>
<p>Deviating from your prescription can cause certain medical problems so be sure that you follow what your doctor says.</p>
<p>There are also dietary considerations you have to keep in mind. Taking potassium and calcium may be advised by your doctor to prevent the drug from affecting other parts of your system.</p>
<p>The drug Prednisone come in dose packs and is usually used by patients with migraine in higher doses until it is finally time to lower the dosage. The frequent use of <a href="http://www.searchingformeds.com/">prednisone</a> in high dosages usually last a week and not one day more.</p>

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&#8217;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. <span id="more-1882"></span>New organizations like Zipcar also leave vehicles in designated places and anyone with a card can get in and drive them away.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.compareinsursites.com/">auto insurance</a> 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 <a href="http://www.compareinsursites.com/artices/car-sharing-schemes.html">auto insurance</a> cover, they need to know the vehicles they drive away are safe.</p>
