natural face pack

Natural face pack for facial hair

ByJustpaste.in

Many young women worry about fine facial hair and dull looking skin. Tiny facial hairs can make the skin appear less smooth while dry or dead skin cells may make the face look tired.

Instead of using strong chemical products waxing or threading some people prefer simple home remedies made with natural ingredients.  One such homemade face pack uses rice flour milk sugar lemon juice and coconut oil.

Ingredients

•2–3 tablespoons rice flour

•1 teaspoon sugar

•A small amount of milk

•Juice of half a lemon

•A few drops of coconut oil

How to make the face pack

Put the rice flour in a clean bowl. Add sugar and a little milk then mix well until the sugar dissolves as much as possible.

This step is important because undissolved sugar grains can make the skin more irritated when the mixture is rubbed or removed.

Next add lemon juice and a few drops of coconut oil.  Mix everything until you get a smooth paste.

How to use it

Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face and leave it for around 15–20 minutes until it dries. Remove it gently with light movements. Avoid rubbing the skin too hard as excessive scrubbing can cause irritation or small skin injuries.

Rice flour and sugar may help remove dead skin cells from the surface.  Gentle massage may also remove some very fine facial hairs making the skin look temporarily smoother and brighter.

Use with care

This face pack may make the skin feel cleaner and smoother but there is limited scientific evidence that it can permanently reduce facial hair.  Facial hair growth is mainly affected by hormones and genetics.

Lemon juice and repeated scrubbing may cause dryness redness burning or irritation especially in people with sensitive skin.  Lemon can also make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Do a patch test first

Before applying any new homemade mixture to your entire face test a small amount on a small area of skin first.  If you notice itching burning swelling or redness wash it off and stop using it.

For long term or unwanted facial hair growth safer hair removal options can be discussed with a dermatologist.

    Longing for other lives

    ByJustpaste.in

    You might be driving along a quiet stretch of highway at dusk and notice a remote house set against the rolling hills. Its porch light glowing softly against the fading twilight. It happens in an instant. Your mind steps inside for a fleeting moment. You picture yourself standing in that kitchen, tending to a warm pot of soup, learning the rhythms of the local wildlife and forget the press of unread emails. Or perhaps it happens when you see a cozy cottage on a distant coast. Might be an apartment perched above a neighborhood bookstore. Or a tiny rural train station where only a few passengers wait. For a few seconds, you inhabit that alternate life. But as quickly as the thought arrives, reality hits back. For many people, these sudden bursts of romantic daydreaming trigger a wave of subtle unease. It is common to treat such longings like a mild psychological symptom. It is an indicator that something in our current existence is lacking. We wonder if we made wrong turns along the path, selected the wrong career or settled into the wrong neighborhood. We assume that fantasizing about a simpler life means we are secretly desperate to escape our reality. However, a change in perspective shows that this assumption may misinterpret how the human mind functions. Understanding Fernweh: The Opposite of Homesickness The key to re-evaluating this feeling lies in a concept from the German language: fernweh. The word is translated literally as far-pain. Fernweh describes a deep, aching yearning for distant places. It stands as the emotional mirror image of homesickness. While homesickness pulls us back toward the familiar, fernweh pushes toward the unfamiliar. Fernweh is neither a practical plan for relocation nor a symptom of dissatisfaction. It exists in a unique middle ground. It is more than a mere desire to escape reality, yet far less than a literal plan to manifest a new lifestyle. When we treat longing as a sign of discontent, we force ourselves into an unnecessary dilemma. We start assuming we must either change our lives or suppress our thoughts entirely. In reality, these brief mental excursions rarely end with us packing a suitcase. Instead, they leave us returning to our daily routine feeling subtly expanded, as if our capacity for wonder has been stretched open. The Multiple Selves and the Purpose of Imagination The alternative selves we envision during daydreams: the quiet caretaker of a lighthouse, the keeper of a village shop, or the isolated writer in a secluded cabin, are not criticism on our present choices. They do not demand that we abandon our jobs or start over from scratch. Rather, these imagined lives serve as quiet reminders that human beings are inherently complex. The person managing household budgets, answering routine emails and searching for misplaced keys is not the entirety of who we are or who we could be. Human imagination evolved specifically to explore endless possibilities without requiring us to physically execute every scenario. Seeing Distant Peace as Invitation Instead of seeing distant places as destinations we failed to reach, we can view them as invitations. They invite us to reconnect with our curiosity, our creativity and our capacity for reinvention. They reassure us that another way of seeing the world remains entirely possible, even within the routine of daily living.   Ultimately, longing for another life or a distant land does not mean you chose the wrong life. It simply demonstrates that your imagination remains curious and alive. As long as a distant porch light or a road over a hill can capture your wonder, you can take comfort in a profound truth. The truth is your internal life will always be far larger than the single outer life you happen to inhabit.

  • HEC new weighted policy: putting weight on research credibility

    ByJustpaste.in

    By Ali Abbas Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission (HEC) new weighted research policy has surely raised an eyebrow among a few academics nationwide. Before further dissecting the policy and its implications, it is pertinent to understand the role of HEC as a regulatory authority, which can help clear the air to a greater extent. As stated, “Regulatory”, it is important to accept that the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan is there to implement quality checks irrespective of the decision being popular or unpopular. So, with this lens, it is easy to understand why HEC is weighing this bold step of assigning weights to authorship and what must have been the shortcomings in the previous policy, despite the earlier policy’s apparent benefits. The new policy values first authors and corresponding authors more, acknowledging a reward for the initiators and potential stakeholders in the event that there are more than 3 authors. While HEC is not stopping co-authorship, it aims to credit researchers who have genuine contributions and are adding value as a lead or major contributor. It is entirely up to contributors to choose the number of other co-authors and their desired contribution and commitment in the research article. In fact, this should rather be seen as a measure of transparency that researchers who are expecting to get fewer marks for co-authorship will be doing less work in contrast to the first author. That can actually act as a yardstick for them to allocate their time to multiple projects to get their respective share/ count. However, not to undermine the researchers whose genuine intent surrounds a higher number of publications in less time with real contribution, it is a welcoming sign for authors who stay away from relationship-based and aided research. So, HEC, being a quality custodian of education and research practices for HEIs, has come up with a stance to curb research mills, fraudulent research, and fake authorship, where publications in friends’ journals and contributions following quid pro quo are compensated. And one never knows when these researchers who have worked as co-authors or fall last in the author list make it to the classes; their share of knowledge and impact may be a concern at times as well. The problem is even bigger, as not only papers with 20+ authors can be found, but researchers are co-authoring in different fields that may be beyond cross-domain collaboration. This is where HEC might have to respond and find this weighted policy as damage control.  Well, this research’s credibility is not Pakistan’s dilemma only, but something that is a world issue in a higher education setting. And when HEC addresses these concerns, it might act as a benchmark for other nations’ education systems, especially for the education and accreditation councils of similar demographics. Whether one favors or opposes it, HEC has devised something that raises major concerns, and that is to curb the need to distinguish between real and fake contributors. Now comes the point of demotivating international contributions from this weighted system, as raised by the affected prospective contributors. Well, though not every policy can avoid its collateral, the overall gain may be exploited as well. It is to be remembered that international collaborators are not to be linked with those weights; they can continue to collaborate at any number in the author list as they used to be, i.e., first or second or third, etc. In this case, the logic for local authors will remain the same as stated above about their respective contributions and rewards. The time and effort can then help in identifying multiple avenues as well. Again, there are always two sides to a coin, and in the current dynamics, where co-authorship has appeared to be a business deal, the side with the assigned weights policy bears more weight. Also, on the other hand, the offset can be made by allocating funds and instructing HEIs to devote funding to Gold open access, thus accelerating the pace of the first-author research. All in all, the new policy hints at increasing competitiveness and research credibility while leaving it to the test of time to see if it turns out to be a value addition for researchers by choice or by chance.

    The silence of the state

    ByJustpaste.in

    Al Jazeera’s digital domain was restricted in Pakistan following its critical coverage of regional unrest and local election turmoil. Pakistan had become the second country after Israel to ban the Qatari broadcaster. While the statement makes for a soundbite, it oversimplifies both history and the mechanics of state censorship. In reality, the history of sovereign states attempting to mute inconvenient journalism is long, systemic, and filled with precedent. The Reality Behind the Headlines The recent digital restrictions in Pakistan emerged after the network broadcast extensive ground coverage of civil protests, Internet shutdowns, and election-related violence in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. State authorities responded by accusing the international news organization of yellow journalism and selective reporting. Shortly after, users across the country reported that the network’s website had become inaccessible. Repeated bans on Al Jazeera However, this action makes Pakistan the first nation to follow Israel’s 2024 ban overlooks press suppression. Over the past two decades, Al Jazeera has faced repeated office closures, revocations and total broadcast bans across numerous jurisdictions. Egypt (2013): Following political upheaval, the government shut down the network’s local operations and detained several of its journalists under allegations of threat to national stability. The Gulf Blockade (2017): During a severe diplomatic rift, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Jordan blocked the channel’s signals and shuttered its regional bureaus. Israel (2024): Emergency legislation empowered authorities to halt local broadcasts, raid offices, and seize transmission equipment over national security claims. Far from being a rare sequel, the administrative impulse to silence an uncomfortable mirror is an old story retold. The Architecture of Banishment In literary traditions, the suppression of speech is rarely about the words themselves; it is about who holds the authority to define reality. George Orwell  observed in 1984 that the primary goal of totalitarian control is to limit the perimeter of thought by controlling the historical record. When a state apparatus brands unfavorable reporting as inherently fraudulent or subversive, it engages in an act of narrative containment. The label of yellow journalism becomes a rhetorical wall. This label shield the public from realities that disrupt official consensus. This dynamic reflects the bureaucratic absurdity depicted in Franz Kafka’s The Castle, where an elusive authority governs from above while remaining immune to direct questioning. In Kafka’s vision, the citizen is caught in a maze of unwritten rules and opaque decrees, where seeking transparency is treated as an act of insubordination. When digital portals are quietly restricted without formal public legislation or explicit judicial oversight, the state operates within a similarly Kafkaesque realm. The silence itself becomes an instrument of governance. The Illusion of Total Control There is a profound irony in modern media suppression. In classical literature, exile was absolute. A banished figure like Ovid was removed physically from the city center, their voice fading at the empire’s edges. Today, however, censorship in a hyper-connected world is an exercise in futility. Blocking a website or pulling a broadcast signal rarely extinguishes the narrative. Instead, it often draws greater international scrutiny to the very events the state wished to obscure. A phenomenon akin to the Streisand effect.   When governments resort to digital blockades, they reveal a fundamental fragility. True political stability rests on the capacity to withstand criticism.  To edit reality is like trying to stop the tide by breaking the hourglass. The water continues to rise, and the story, inevitably, finds another way to be told.

    The return of physical books in a digital world

    ByJustpaste.in

    ​When e-readers and digital publishing exploded in the late 2000s, tech prognosticators predicted the rapid demise of the printed book. Paper was deemed inefficient, heavy, and outdated. An analog relic doomed to follow the cassette tape and the encyclopedia into obscurity. Yet, decades into the digital revolution, the physical book has successfully survived. It is thriving, driven by a growing cultural hunger for tactile experiences in an increasingly virtual world.   ​The persistence of print comes down to a fundamental human reality. Sensory experience matters. A digital screen, no matter how crisp its resolution, flattens every piece of content into the same glass surface. A tweet, a work email, a news alert, and a classic novel all look and feel virtually identical. In contrast, a physical book offers a distinct multi-sensory landscape. The weight of the volume in your hands. The subtle texture of the paper stock. The faint scent of ink and binding glue. Above all, the visual progress of physical pages moving from right to left. Reading a physical book creates an immersive environment that screens simply cannot replicate. British writer Roald Dahl who is known for such classic children’s books as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964) and Matilda (1988). His other notable works include James and the Giant Peach (1961), The BFG (1982), and The Witches (1983). He famously said, So please, oh please, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away, and in its place you can install a lovely bookshelf on the wall. Roald Dahl (Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short-story writer, poet, screenwriter, and wartime fighter pilot.)   ​Moreover, print offers a rare sanctuary from the relentless ping of notifications. Modern digital life is characterized by fragmented attention and constant micro-interruptions. Reading a book on a tablet or smartphone means constantly resisting the urge to check email, glance at social media, or reply to a text message. A physical book possesses no hyperlinks, no pop-ups and no algorithmic distraction loops by default. It demands a single-tasking mindset and offers a meditative refuge from digital fatigue.   ​There is also a social and aesthetic dimension to the print resurgence. Bookshelves in a home are not just storage units. Rather, they are visual representations of identity, curiosity, and intellectual history. Browsing a physical bookstore or sharing a physical copy with a friend fosters spontaneous community connections that digital files cannot mirror.   e-books certainly offer undeniable convenience for travel and instant access. However, they have become a supplement to print rather than a replacement. Readers are making a conscious choice to slow down. The deliberately disconnect from screens, and hold stories in their hands. The physical book stands high not for some reason of nostalgia. Rather, it fulfills a psychological need that technology has only managed to heighten.  

  • Electricity Crisis: A Burden on the People

    ByJustpaste.in

    Through the pages of your newspaper, I would like to draw attention to the serious electricity crisis in our area. Frequent and prolonged power outages have made daily life extremely difficut for students, workers shopkeepers and ordinary families. The lack of electricity affects education, businesses, hospitals and household activities. During hot weather the situation becomes even more difficult especially for children and elderly people. The authorities should take immediate steps to reduce unnecessary load-shedding, improve the power supply system and repair faulty infrastructure. A proper and fair schedule should also be followed so that people can plan their daily activities. Electricity is not a luxury it is an essential need in modern life. The concerned authorities must take effective action to provide a reliable electricity supply to the public

  • Not all green foods are healthy

    ByJustpaste.in

    Vegetables and fruits are generally considered an important part of a healthy diet.  Health experts also recommend including them in a balanced meal. However not everything that is green is automatically good for everyone. Some raw undercooked artificial or  rich green foods may cause health problems in  certain people. People with weak immune systems may be more sensitive to some foods and could experience allergies food reactions or other health problems. Green potatoes some green seafood products and foods with artificial green coloring are examples that may require extra care. Some people can also develop an allergy or intolerance to certain green foods. For example spinach may cause skin rashes or other allergic symptoms in sensitive individuals. In rare and serious cases a food allergy can lead to a dangerous reaction called anaphylaxis. Anyone who notices allergy symptoms after eating a particular food should seek medical advice. People with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) may also need to be careful with certain green vegetables.  Foods such as cabbage broccoli and Brussels sprouts can cause gas bloating stomach discomfort and pain in some people. People with kidney problems should also pay attention to their food choices. Spinach and Swiss chard contain high amounts of potassium. Eating too much of these foods may be risky for people with advanced kidney disease because their kidneys may have difficulty removing extra potassium from the body. This can lead to an unhealthy electrolyte balance. Eating too much of any food can cause problems and green foods are no exception. Large amounts of raw vegetables may cause bloating, constipation stomach pain or digestive discomfort in some people. In certain cases excessive intake of particular foods may also increase the risk of kidney stones electrolyte problems low blood sugar or allergic reactions. Some green fruits and vegetables may also cause digestive problems when eaten raw.  For example raw bananas and papaya may cause gas or stomach discomfort in some people. People who take warfarin a blood thinning medicine also known by the brand name Coumadin should talk to their doctor about eating large amounts of green leafy vegetables. These vegetables are often high in vitamin K, which can affect how warfarin works. The important thing is usually to keep vitamin K intake consistent rather than suddenly changing the amount. Spinach, Swiss chard and beetroot are also high in oxalates.  For some people who are prone to kidney stones, eating large amounts of these foods may increase the chance of developing stones again. Raw or lightly cooked green vegetables can provide many nutrients but they can sometimes be difficult to digest.  Vegetables such as cabbage broccoli and Brussels sprouts contain fiber that may cause digestive discomfort in some people especially when eaten in large amounts. Green potatoes are another important exception. When a potato turns green it may contain higher levels of a natural chemical called solanine.  Eating a large amount of solanine can cause nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases nervous system problems. Green potatoes should therefore be handled with care. Green tea is also not completely harmless in every situation. Poor quality green tea may contain unwanted impurities or low quality ingredients. Drinking very strong or very hot green tea may cause stomach discomfort in some people. Green tea also contains caffeine and too much caffeine can lead to nervousness shaking sleep problems or other side effects. Artificially green foods are not necessarily healthy either. Green colored candies sweet drinks and other processed foods may contain large amounts of sugar and provide little nutritional value.  Eating these foods regularly can contribute to tooth damage high blood sugar and other health problems. The main point is that green color alone does not make a food healthy.  The type of food the amount eaten how it is prepared and a person’s health condition all matter. People with food allergies, IBS, kidney problems or those taking certain medicines should be especially careful and seek medical advice when needed.
