 Make Money With YouTube

    Do you know that we can make money when people watched our videos in the YouTube? How YouTube generate money for us? First, YouTube is a video sharing website which allows users to watch and upload videos posted by other users. The YouTube service is primarily designed for ordinary people who wish to publish the videos they made, and several businesses and organizations are also using YouTube to promote their business. Nowadays, so many people have become YouTuber or also known as YouTube content creator which their videos can be monetized, and it is consider as an occupation. YouTubers can get paid when they have at least 1,000 subscribers, 4,000 watch hours and at least 1,000 views. It is importance to the audience as to spread knowledge on how to make money through online platform which is the YouTube and what are the best strategies that the audience can use to make money through YouTube. Therefore, there are several strategies on how to make money through YouTube such as making creative original content, be an influencer and become a YouTube partner.

    Firstly, one of the strategies on how to make money through YouTube is by making creative original content. Creative original content can be as easy as making a video that is closed to society like feelings, interests, and belief. Nowadays, youtubers are focusing on how to make their audience burst into laughter like reacting to funny videos, eating spicy food, making fun of themselves in front of society and others. Other than that, it can be done by focusing on the viewer's interest like food. For example, mukbang (meokbang) is a video of a host eating copious amounts of food in front of their camera while interacting with their audience. Some of them capture their audience interest by uploading videos of them playing video games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, PUBG and others. According to Brouwer, he stated that 15% of videos on Google’s online videos are related to video games. This proved that some of the youtubers gain a source of money by playing video.

    The next step to make money through YouTube is by being an influencer. What is the meaning of YouTube influencer? YouTube influencer is someone who builds a substantial following on the video platform of YouTube. They sets trends and provides information for others looking to purchase a specific product or service (Hundt, 2018). To become an influencer, the individual needs to have creativity, skills and a lot number of subscribers on YouTube (Humphreys, 2017). When having a lot of people that was influenced by the person, some brands company or products will pay the influencer to promote their products. From there, they will gain the money. Additionally, YouTube will also pay the influencer if the influencer reaches a certain number of subscribers and views from others, but it requires a lot to get money from the YouTube. For example, Dato’ Aliff Syukri is one of the famous YouTube influencer that surely most of the people know about. He receives money from YouTube by being an influencer because he has a million of subscribers and views on his YouTube channel. According to him, the income that he get from youtube is enough already for him to pay salary to all his workers.

    Finally, last strategy that anyone can make money through YouTube is by becoming a YouTube partner. YouTube can be an advertising platform which is in this case society can be the one getting paid to host other’s advertisement. This is the other side of the YouTube advertising relationship. YouTube made a Partner Program (YPP), a framework dependent on AdSense which allows the uploader of the video to share the income delivered by publicizing on the site. YouTube ordinarily takes 45 percent of the promoting income from recordings in the Partner Program, with 55 percent setting off to the uploader. The YouTube Partner Program (YPP) allows the website's most successful YouTube channels to handle their content by serving ads made and paid for by other YouTube users. The criteria for this program which changed in 2018 requires that your channel has reached 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 channel subscribers in the last 12 months. Society need to keep in mind they should be posting actively. T-Series is a prime example of how volume and consistency can make you a sought-after channel by advertisers on YouTube. T-Series makes no less than $724 thousand per month from its YouTube channel, according to SocialBlade, much of which comes from advertisers through the YouTube Partner Program.

    In conclusion, there are several strategies on how to make money through YouTube such as making creative original content, be an influencer and become a YouTube partner. These strategies are the basic and very crucial ways which very affective to make money through YouTube. Everyone can make money through YouTube if they have the knowledge, strategies and know how to execute the strategies.

People need to be more aware about this occupation so that they know how to make money other than do businesses or other known occupations. YouTube is an online platform where anybody can make money, anytime and anywhere.

Heart Disease?

 FACTORS DETERMINE HEART DISEASE

“Do you know heart disease is one of the most chronic disease suffered by many people around the world”? It was called silent killer that killed over 300 000 people in a year. Heart disease is not a numeric counts by age even you are young it still can attack you at any unexpected time. Actually it’s totally depends on the health of our body. Basically, heart disease also defined as “cardiovascular disease” which refers to the condition that involve narrows or block the blood vessels that can lead to the heart attack, chest pain (angina), coronary artery disease and also stroke. Other heart conditions, that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, approximately every 40 seconds an American will have a heart attack. Estimation about annual incidence of heart attacks in the United States is 720,000 new attacks and 335,000 recurrent attacks. 

Without wasting any time let’s proceed to the discussion on factor determines heart diseases. One of the main factor why heart disease attack you is definitely from your unhealthy nutrition or unhealthy food intake. Nowadays, food is becoming a heaven around the world because of existence a new recipe and new type of foods. As we know, mostly food right now are containing high amount of fat, cholesterol and also glucose in order to make it become more tasty, unique and delicious as well as we can see like cheese , sweeties food like donut and junk food such as instant noodle. According to World Heath Federation in 2016, modern environment food are contains high amount of cholesterol and fat which offer to cardiovascular disease. Excessive food containing a lot of fat and cholesterol could blocked and narrowed your blood vessels to supply blood into your heart as usual. Fat and cholesterol will accumulate in your blood vessels that make the amount of blood supply reserved to the heart will decreases slowly and not worked like normal as before. Furthermore, high glucose of foods also is the risk of heart disease. It is because pancreas cannot secrets insulin well and this will lead to diabetes. When this happens, artery wall in your heart will damage slowly. Studies showed that diabetes is one of the causes which could damage our heart in future if we do not deal it properly.

Figure 1: Unhealthy Food

The second factor of heart disease is used of tobacco and alcohol excessively. Generally, cigarettes contain so many dangerous particles such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide in which resulting atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a disease that have waxy substance called plaque builds up in the arteries. Over time, plaque hardens and narrows your arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body. 

Next, drink alcohol excessively also contributes in increasing the risk of heart disease.  Heavy drinking alcohol not only resulting heart disease but it also increase a risk in developing variety of diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and also stroke. Certain alcohol is consist harmful drug such as cocaine. This harmful drugs may have a devastating effect on your heart and all organs in your body. Based on the research by Gregory Marcus in 2009, he identified the risk of alcohol abuse are associated with heart attack and heart failure.

Figure 2: Alcohols and Cigarette

Last but not least, the history of family heredity also affects on individual’s illness. It is because our body is made up of trillions of cells. Each cell has a nucleus, which consist of information that makes us unique. This information we called as genes. We have between 20,000 - 25,000 different genes in our body. Genes will affect how we look and how our bodies work, and we inherited them from our parents. Genes also can pass on high risk conditions such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. These conditions can increase your risk of developing heart diseases. Research has shown that variations in DNA at one position in chromosome 9 which is known as chr9p21 (novel markers for coronary artery disease) inherited from your parents. If you have this type of DNA in your body, it will significantly increase the risk to experience coronary heart disease in future. One professor in University of Cambridge discovered variation of this DNA makes blood vessels vulnerable to inflammation which is a key process in developing coronary heart disease.

Figure 3: Example of genes

In the nutshell, many people around the world did not aware and know how terrible and dangerous coronary heart disease. Once we experienced this silent killer, I am sure you will feel the worse pains ever in the rest of your life. Please don’t make it easy instead try to make this serious by avoid all factors and all causes of heart disease. However, research showed that we can lowering the risk of heart disease even your family history haunting you all the time. The only key to prevent this silent killer is by living in healthy lifestyle such as control your food intake, don’t skip physical activity and get enough rest at least sleep 6 to 7 hours per day. Please take note and always be aware in order to save our future generation from inherited this disease. Thank you !!!.

Overpopulation

 THE EFFECT OF OVERPOPULATION

Human population can be defines as the number of people living in a particular area in this whole world. The world population grows because births rate significantly outpace the death rate on average. Human overpopulation issue is a serious issue, silently causing global warming, environmental pollution, habitat loss and other issues. According Baus (2017), human overpopulation issue does not arisen over the last few decades, but since prehistoric time until now.  Today, there are currently more than 7.7 billion people live in this world. As the clock ticking, people increase but the earth's resources are finite. Thus this affects many people especially people in poor country as they lack of education. Education plays a very important role in educating the parents to have some sort of degree tend to have fewer children, whereas uneducated families tend to be larger. Overpopulation has a lot of negative consequences that impact all people around the globe. Population is growing rapidly, far outpacing the ability of our planet to support it thus overpopulation can has a number of effects such as lack of space,  increase the transmission of diseases, and triggers conflicts and wars.

The first effects of overpopulation are that they can cause lack of space. Humans will run out of actual space to live as overpopulation occurs. According to a BBC article written by Nuwer (2015), about 3% of Earth’s total land supports more than half of humanity. The author also mentioned that with 83 million more people on the planet every year, increased populations will increase pressure on the land. Each person needs a place to live, to work, and grow lands to provide food. Overpopulation depends on the ratio of population to available sustainable resources, not on the size or density of population. It also depends on how resources are managed and distributed throughout the population. According to Garg (2017), it is estimated that growth in human population affects the global land use pattern available for agriculture, forest land cover and nearby areas of different types of water bodies. This rapid increase in human population is putting pressure on natural resources available like land, water and ecosystem services. Since the population is growing a lot, people need space to live. According to Weebly (n.d), one of the ways people get the space is by ravaging the environment. People will destroy the forests, animal habitats and other land to build home and infrastructure development. This activity can be known as deforestation. Deforestation is bad because it affects the biodiversity of flora and fauna species as we take their “home” to get more resources.

Besides, overcrowded countries can lead to the spread of disease. According to World Health Organization (WHO) countries like China, India and Bangladesh have a higher possibility to have diseases that can be transmitted to their citizens as they have a higher population than other countries. Studies have shown that countries with higher populations can be the major factor for diseases such as respiratory disease, cholera and HIV. A country like China which has the highest population number in the world can easily transmit disease especially respiratory disease like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and recently Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19). This is because the transmission of disease is easier in this country due to an overcrowded population (Lippi & Henry, 2020). These pathogens can infect humans in public areas like the subway, shopping mall and others when the victims are coughing and sneezing. In India, sexual transmitted disease which is HIV has dangerous statistics as this country also has a higher population. This number 2 ranked country that has high populations can easily transmit the disease by 3 types of transmissions which are by sexual contact, exposure to infected blood and vertical transmission from mother to child (Sinha, 2017). Not only that, Bangladesh which is a poor country with a high population can have higher chances of getting cholera, a gastrointestinal disease caused by Vibrio cholerae. The symptoms of this disease are diarrhoea, abdominal cramp, vomiting and even worse, death.  This disease commonly infected people after drinking contaminated water and has low sanitation (Bharati, 2011). Besides, lack of education of the citizens also can be one of the reasons for this life threatening disease. So, countries with overcrowded citizens have higher possibility to spread the diseases like respiratory disease, cholera and HIV no matter their status, poor or stable country.

Next, overpopulation can trigger conflicts and war. As human population increase, resources and basic necessities such as food, water, land, employment and other basic necessities are more limited which increases the competitiveness and demand for these resources. According to Swomley (1998), there were 148 totals of wars happen since World War II which most of them were population wars especially in Sudan, Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Ethiopia. People may be fighting each other for basic needs to defend their necessities thus trigger conflicts and violence. Growing populations will stress the labor force which increases the rate of unemployment and weak the economies. This unemployment in turn could provoke rising crime and social revolt in a country. Moreover, overpopulation wars also related to high poverty and high fertility rates in the country. There are also some emigrants from overpopulated country to the less populated neighbouring states which may be an unwelcome and destabilizing consequence for the host country. Thus this condition leads to quarrels and disagreement between the countries as both countries fight for their own rights. According to World Health Organization (WHO), (n.d) states that it is crucial to have family planning to slow down the population growth as rapid population give negative impacts on economy, environment, national and regional development efforts.

In conclusion, since people are unaware about the overpopulation has a lot of negative consequences that impact all people around the globe , they are going to end up living in circumstances that lacking in term of spacing, increasing the number of diseases and factors that triggering the conflicts and wars. Awareness is the factor that plays the foremost dominant role today that might decide the longer term of the upcoming generations and therefore the way forward for the present people on earth. When people are aware, they are more careful and take smarter decisions. If awareness spreads, and if people become conscious of the results and therefore the causes of overpopulation, they might then unite so as to vary the factors that have caused overpopulation within the past into becoming beneficial and not harmful for his or her societies and cultures, thus obtaining a far better standard of living and a better organized and advanced life. As seen earlier, the consequences of overpopulation will have a drastic effect on people’s lives (Wheeler, No year). To avoid such problems, “countries and individuals must work together to realize zero population growth” (Busam, 1995).

Most Unique Endangered Species

 The types of endangered species in the world

Have you ever thought that in the technological age people have almost forgotten about nature and the importance of protecting the natural environment? Unfortunately, it is a sad reality, but that is the truth we must face. People do not really care that somewhere, far away from their comfortable homes, species of animals and plants are disappearing from our planet forever. There are many endangered animals and plants. They come in all shapes and sizes. Many species vital to ensuring that today’s environment will thrive are becoming extinct. If a species is slowly dwindling, and in imminent danger of becoming nonexistent, this species is considered to be endangered. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, or IUCN, upwards of 16,000 species are threatened with extinction, including both plants and animals (IUCN, 2016). Before becoming endangered, a species will show warning signs, either by starting to lose biological diversity or by losing the habitats for that species to flourish in, or in the worst case, both. The word endangered can sometimes be confused with threatened, extirpated, or extinct. Extirpated refers to the state of a species where its population has died out in a certain area or range, but other populations of said species still exist elsewhere (Olden, Julian D., 2008). When a species is considered threatened, or vulnerable, this refers to the state of the species being susceptible to endangerment and extinction.Ninety-nine percent of the earth’s creatures have become extinct. More than 1,000 species are endangered worldwide, and over 100 of these endangered animals become extinct every day. Scientists estimate that the total number of species lost to extinction each year may climb to 40,000 by the year 2000. It is important for the audience to know the types of endangered species as they can become more aware and take action to prevent them from becoming extinct.There are three types of endangered species that could face extinction which are red panda, axolotl, and corpes flower.

The definition of unique is just one of its kind. That is what red panda or Ailurus fulgens is going through right now. Red panda is one of the most unique endangered species of land animal. The Ailurus fulgens is the only living member left of the Ailuridae family. It had previously been placed within the raccoon and bear families. However, the results of genetic analysis by taxonomists indicate that they are positioned in their own circle of relatives. (Flynn, 2000). Despite its name, it is not closely related to the giant panda. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has declared that the red panda is classified as EN for endangered, with a continuous decline of current population trend. (Glatston, Wei, Zaw, & Sherpa, 2015). The Ailurus fulgens has reddish-brown fur, a long, shaggy tail, and a waddling manner thanks to its shorter front legs. It is roughly the size of a domestic cat, though with a longer body, and is somewhat heavier in weight. Their face is similar to bears but their behaviour is like cats, which is regularly cleaning their fur, licking their front paws, and then rubbing their backs. Another thing red pandas are similar to bears is that they use their forepaws alternately to bring food to their mouths or place food directly into their mouth. (Flynn, 2000). They are nocturnal, also arboreal and their diet is mainly on bamboo, but they also eat eggs, birds, and insects. Then, what about their defensive instinct? If they feel threatened or sense danger, they may try to escape by climbing a rock or tree. (Glatston, et. al, 2015). If they will not flee, they stand on their hind legs to form themselves appear larger and use the sharp claws on their front paws to defend themselves from predators. However, natural predators are not the ones that contribute to their endangerment, but humans are. In the past, red pandas were captured and would be ‘exhibited’ in zoos. In an article appearing in the International Zoo News in 1969, one man claimed that for 17 years he had sold 350 red pandas to the zoos. In south-west China, red pandas are killed for their fur, especially for the highly valued bushy tails, from which hats are produced. In some parts of Nepal and India, red pandas are kept as pets. (Ghose, 2008). Also, their naturally low birth rate adds to the risk of their declining population. Although they look cute, we must respect their natural habitat because we are the ones who will be affected if the ecosystem is damaged.

            Next, Axolotl is one type of salamander which is an endangered species of aquatic animal. The scientific name of Axolotl is Ambystoma mexicanum. It is also the most widely known salamander around the world and in Mexico, Axolotl has emerged as a national icon in the country (Erik,2017). Axolotl is a type of salamander which can be found in a Xochimilco Lake Complex near Mexico City. They permanently live in the water which makes them different from other types of salamanders. That makes Axolotl as the most scientifically studied salamander in the world (National Geographic). Just like other salamanders, Axolotl are also in an amphibian class. Currently, the water source in the Xochimilco Lake Complex has become contaminated due to human activities such as urbanization that persists the use of wetlands coming from nearby Mexico City (Randal, 2015). This sad state of affair has led the Axolotl population to decline. Besides that, grilled Axolotl is a delicacy in Mexico which makes them famous in the aquarium trade. Thus, Axolotl was categorized as a critically endangered species. Hence, the Xochimilco ecosystem has raised awareness about it worsening due to the significant decline of Axolotl. Particularly, Axolotl was identified as a top-line species according to the Darwin Initiative where he put his efforts through the publicity of natural tourism and also conservation education programmes for the purpose of protecting Xochimilco species including Axolotl. Nevertheless, Axolotl still chose to hit its extinction clock (Luis, 2015).

Last but not least, the endangered species of plant  in the world is Titan Arum plant. Titan Arum is also known as "corpse flower" due to the unpleasant smell of the flowers. The scientific name of Titan Arum is Amorphophallus titanum. This species is mostly found in the tropical lowland forest near rivers. There is a decent reason for the plant's strong odor. The smell, color and even temperature of corpse flowers are intended to attract pollinators (Bradford, 2017). The unpleasant smell of corpse flowers also helps to ensure the continuation of the species. The primary pollinators of corpse flowers are dung beetles, flesh flies and other carnivorous insects. The enormous size of this flower attracts an abundance of visitors to botanic gardens as well as it is used for ornamental displays for visitors. The population of Titan Arum is popular in Sumatra Island, Indonesia. This world’s biggest flower rarely blooms in cultivation in which it only produces a flower after 7 to 9 years.  This species is decreasing due to habitat degradation and being targeted by local people (Hadiah, 2018).  Other than that, land clearing destroys its population due to the high demand for timber and palm oil industry which has led to massive deforestation. Hence, legal action should be taken by the government to control this issue by establishing a government procurement policy that favors wood-based products legally and ensuring that all logs transported from the forest management unit are properly identified. Cultivation of corpse flowers in botanical gardens around the world is also crucial to conserve this species continuously. 

In conclusion, humans are the main cause of these animals and plants becoming extinct, but with the help of many parties some of these animals and plants can increase in numbers and not be impossible to be taken off from the endangered list. Conducting a community awareness survey would be a good way to let the community know that there are endangered animals and plants in the area and let them know how they can help with the efforts to save it. To save insects and birds, kids can hold a school Arbor Day and plant trees and flowers for birds and insects that are native to their area that are endangered. Participating in river and beach cleanup is very important, because it can reduce pollution in the water that could not only kill the poor little animals and plants but hurt humans as well. There are many animals and plants out there that are important to us and our environment that need to be helped. There are many people who can do stuff for these animals and plants. Through organization, community awareness surveys, and school program lots are being done to help. One thing we should know that all the animals and plants on this earth have the right to be here as you and me. So please be kindhearted to help save the poor little endangered animals and plants.

SKIN - Our largest organ on human body

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF OUR SKIN

Skin is the largest organ on human’s body, made up of several different components, including water, protein, lipids, and different minerals and chemicals. When healthy, its layers work hard to protect us. But when it’s compromised, the skin’s ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired. We have therefore found the best ways to improve skin health to support it in maintaining its protective role. Throughout life, skin will change constantly, for better or worse. In fact, skin will regenerate itself approximately every 27 days. But what exactly does it mean to have healthy skin? According to Dr. Zein Obagi, he was first introduced the definition of skin health in 1983 and expanded it in 2008. His definition provides specific, easily recognized physiological, histological, and clinical attributes that can be represented by the skin of a baby as a model for healthy skin. Most defining characteristic of healthy skin, is the same defining characteristic of a healthy body which is the ability to fight injury and disease quickly and effectively. Healthy skin can be achieved by practicing skincare routine, having healthy diet and exercise regularly.

Graph 1: Size of the global skincare market from 2012 to 2025

Practicing skincare routine can enhance healthy skin conditions. A graph shows estimated size of the global skincare market from 2012 to 2025. By 2025, the global skin care market is estimated to be 189.3 billion U.S. dollars. The skin care industry has witnessed a movement from demand from older consumers to a growing younger consumer base (Shahbandeh, 2020). This shows that people nowadays more concern about their skin conditions regardless their age. Good skincare can help delay natural aging and prevent various skin problems. The basic steps of a skincare routine are a cleanser, a moisturizer, and a sunscreen depending on our skin type (Newsom, 2019). How about the others skincare product such as exfoliate, toner, serum, essence, eye cream and mask? Is it important? It is just optional, based on our skin concern. If you have issue, then you have option to add on the others skincare.

Image 1: A 69-year-old man who drove a delivery truck for 28 years shows damaged skin on the left side of his face.

Use cleanser as a step one of an easy skincare routine because cleanser help to wash off the dirt, environmental pollutants, makeup, excess oil, dead skin cells, and environmental impurities that end up on your face naturally throughout the day. Wash twice a day to avoid clogged pores, acne, and dullness (Molvar, 2020).  Next, moisturizer will help keep the skin’s protective barrier hydrated by seal in moisture to hydrate, preventing water loss through the outer layers of skin and our skin feel smooth and soft. Daily and consistent sunscreen use helps to prevent the development of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, solar acne and cancer skin (Molvar, 2020). Image 1 published by New England Journal of Medicine shows a clear picture of what type of damage the sun can cause a person's skin so do not leaving the house without apply sunscreen every 2 hours. 

Next, a healthy diet also can affect our skin condition. Wonderful skin begins with sustenance from inside. According to the Journal of Clinical Aesthetic Dermatology, a healthy diet has a strong relationship with our skin conditions. Eating fruit and vegetables, and limit intake of sugars can lead to healthier skin. Fruit and vegetables are rich with antioxidants and vitamins that help to protect our skin from sun damage and free radicals (Heller, 2006). Free radicals are formed by sun exposure and it can damage the membrane of skin cells as well as the DNA of our cell. The presence of antioxidant is to prevent our cell from any damage. Other than that, smoke, pollution, and sunlight can cause wrinkles and age spot appearance. It is suggested to eat fruits and vegetables for at least five portions a day. There are many choices of antioxidant foods such as broccoli, carrots, blackberries, and strawberries. Moreover, for a balanced diet, the percentage of sugar should be less than 10% of our total energy intake (World Health Organization, 2020). Sugar consumption can stimulate insulin production which can increase oil and acne production. This occurred because the over-production of insulin also affects sebum oil production. It can cause clogged pores and breakout of acne. The amount of insulin, oil and acne production can be controlled if the sugar is consumed in moderation

Exercise regularly also can improve our skin health as it help to keep our body’s largest organ feeling and looking healthier. According to Dr. Marisa Garshick, a dermatologist in New York, keeping a regular fitness routine can improve overall appearance of our skin (Tschinkel,2019). Exercise help strengthen and tone our muscles beneath skin which provide stronger support and make them look more firmer and elastic. It also help in production of collagen that prevent the form of wrinkles, fine lines and sagging skin. Moreover, exercise can improved the blood circulation to the skin surface. This help to supply oxygen and nutrient to the skin which keeps them look glowing and prevent the aging process. Usually after doing some exercise, our skin will looked glowing that called as ‘post-workout glow’ in which happen because of the increased blood flow. Lastly, our skin pores might build up with dead skin cells, oils and chemicals over time. By practicing exercise in our daily life can promotes the removal of these toxins through perspiration as sweat helps to clean out our skin pores. This healthy activity also can prevent the acne production. One of the caused of acne production is imbalance hormones that make the pores clog. However, exercise can help us in balancing our hormones back as exercise can relieves stress, therefore eliminate the over production of sebum. So, let’s sweat it out.

In conclusion, our skin works 24/7 to take care of us, protect us, and keep us healthy and we have a responsibility to take care of our skin. Practicing skincare routine, having healthy diet and exercise regularly can keep our skin healthy. We don’t have to look young or perfect to have healthy skin. You can have wrinkles, sagging, pimples, shine, dark spots, dark circles, puffy eyes, and still have healthy skin. All of those imperfections are normal outcomes of aging or genetic characteristics. Healthy skin is more about your internal physiology which is how well the invisible machinery inside your skin is running able to respond to infection or wounds quickly and effectively.

Athletics (Hammer Throw)

 WHAT IS HAMMER THROW???

    Today I want to share to all my viewers about one event in athletics which is Hammer Throw. Normally athletics has two categories of event which are Track and Field and hammer throw is in field event because its use field and not involve on track like running event. Why I choose this event? This is because I want to highlight cause I am sure most of people did not watch this event hence there is some people did not know about this event.

    First and foremost, Since 1866 the hammer throw has been a regular part of track-and-field competitions in Ireland, Scotland, and England. The English standardized the event in 1875 by establishing the weight of the hammer at 7.2 kg (16 pounds) and its length at 1,067.5 mm (later changed to a maximum 1,175 mm [46.3 inches]) and by requiring that it be thrown from a circle 2.135 metres (7 feet) in diameter.

Then, The men’s event has been included in the Olympic Games since 1900; the women’s hammer throw made its Olympic debut in 2000. Early hammers had forged-iron heads and wooden handles, but the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) now requires use of a wire-handled spherical weight. The ball is of solid iron or other metal not softer than brass or is a shell of such metal filled with lead or other material. The handle is spring steel wire, with one end attached to the ball by a plain or ball-bearing swivel and the other to a rigid two-hand grip by a loop. The throwing circle is protected by a C-shaped cage for the safety of officials and supporter.

Negative Thinker?

 WAYS TO AVOID OURSELVES FROM BEING A NEGATIVE THINKER

Have you ever feel stress and cannot control your emotions during that moment? For sure everyone has gone through this situation. Of course, we feel so bad and difficult to control our emotions. Before that, do you guys know what does it mean by negative thinking? Negative thinking means a thought process where people tend to find the worst in everything that can cause stress, sadness and worry over the time. I believe that everyone will have this kind of thinking due to various factors. But, when you always being a negative thinker it may harmful to yourself because if you cannot control your emotions it maybe lead to depression. Sometimes it will help us to be a positive person in the future where are manage to find the solution to cope with the problems. So, let’s move on to the purpose of this speech. There are three ways to avoid ourselves from being a negative thinker which are try to identify the real problems, know ourselves better and express our feelings through writing. For me, everyone should apply these ways to avoid ourselves from being a negative thinker.

Firstly, try to identify the real problems that we have. In any situations or problems that we have it is a compulsory for us to identify the main factors causing the problems to happen. Talking about a negative thinker, usually the individual is an overthinking person that may lead to stress. Finding the main factors of the problems are important before we manage to find the best solution to handle and deal with it. Then, we can start to fixed up everything. Think wisely and make some reflection about ourselves also help to find on the problems that we have. Maybe it happen because of ourselves or others. When having a problem no matter how big and difficult it is, try to figure out ways or the person that may help us to solve it. But, if you still failed to find out the solutions try to let them out by talking about the problems over the person close to us such as parents and friends. Ask them for some advices then its time to look for that silver lining. Try to see the negative elements in a different way and focus on the positive elements. 

Secondly, we should know ourselves better before we want to handle with the problems. Knowing ourselves here means we have to discover our capability to cope with the problems. Different people have different method to cope and solve their problems. Some people are comfortable to share with others but some of them prefer to keep it by themselves. That’s the reason why we have to know our capability to find the suitable ways to handle the problems and avoid ourselves from being a negative thinker. According to Noam Sphancer (2010), accept and greet bad feelings are important so that we can cope and control our emotions. It is true that we must accept the negative element but do not exceed the limits. On the other hands, do not try to deny the negative feelings because it can be a toxic positivity to us. When we already know our capability there is a chance to get the best solution to overcome the problems. For example, we can do our hobby and spend time with our beloved because it will allow our mind to wander from the problems.

Next, another effective ways can be used  is expressing our feelings through writing or known as journaling method. According to Beth Jacob (2005), journaling method is the best thing to know our feelings. As I mention earlier, certain people prefer to keep their problems by their own so this is the best method for them to write everything about their feelings or problems. This method we can do by writing down everything about our problems in a piece of paper. Right after that we crumple the paper up and throw it away. This way is really effective because when we threw away the paper we will had more positive self image of ourselves after a few minutes. It helps us to become more better. Some people said something quick that you can do physically can improve your mental state and why not we try this method we have any problems later. Besides, we can writing everything in a notebook and make it as a diary. This method is so easy whereas we just need a pen and a piece of paper to help us feel more better. 

As a conclusion, whatever problems or difficulties that we have to facing with, we have to find the solution before it getting worst. Just to highlight all the important points in this speech here are some ways that we can use to avoid ourselves from being a negative thinker which are we should try to identify the real problems that we have. Then, we also should know ourselves better before try to cope and solve the problems also can use the writing method to express our feelings so that we get to know the right way to balance between our positive and negative emotions.
