![]() Everyone seems to have figured out that Sanpaku eyes simply make people appear surprised even when they are not. They are frequently described as "having squinted eyes" or "having eyelids that meet at the bridge of their noses." They are similar to a surprised expression in that they make the person appear surprised. You've probably seen Sanpaku eyes if you've watched an anime or read a manga. Furthermore, because these eyes do not have a crease, they appear more distant and older. Because the sclera is visible, you can quickly see the white portion of their eyes. In a few ways, these eyes differ from regular eyes. How Are Sanpaku Eyes Different From Normal Eyes? People with Yang Sanpaku are tend to be more violent, or even psychopaths. Yang Sanpaku eyes are eyes with white visible above the iris the opposite of Yin Sanpaku. Usually associated with alcoholics and drug addicts. Yin Sanpaku is generally considered a negative sign. Yin Sanpaku eyes are eyes with white visible below the iris. Several types of Sanpaku eyes have different meanings. Though we're guessing you're now even more eager to learn how to tell if you have sanpaku eyes. It is entirely up to you to believe the traditions or the theory. Disorders such as chronic inflammation, according to Dr Lim, the medical director of the Natasha Lim Eye Centre, can affect the colour of the iris. Whether or not the notion is true, the eyes appear to have their own story to tell. Or, as a result of cosmetic surgery, the shape of someone's eye may be distorted, causing the eyelids to be pulled in such a way that different parts of the eye become more visible. For example, the shape of the skin around someone's eye may change over time due to age and loss of elasticity, causing drooping and highlighting the sclera. Obviously, there are various reasons why a person's eye shape may appear a certain way, and your eyes may appear differently from one moment, picture, and/or angle to the next. Could There Be Other Causes for Sanpaku Eyes? On the other hand, cult leader Charles Manson's pictures are always showing him with huge white eyeballs. These famous individuals and many others demonstrate that Sanpaku eyes can be a unique and intriguing character that adds depth and charisma to their already impressive legacies. Additionally, the enigmatic musician, Jimi Hendrix, possessed Sanpaku eyes, accentuating his intense gaze and adding mystique to his groundbreaking performances. Known for his powerful presence on and off the screen, his Sanpaku eyes contributed to his intense and determined persona, making him an unforgettable action star. Her mesmerizing Sanpaku eyes added a touch of vulnerability and allure to her already captivating beauty, captivating audiences worldwide.Īnother famous personality with Sanpaku eyes is the visionary martial artist and actor Chuck Norris. ![]() The most notable figure among them is the iconic actress and model Marilyn Monroe. Kennedy, Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe all had notable cases of yin sanpaku (a condition in which the whites of the eyes may be seen below the iris). This unique eye feature has caught the attention of many, and some renowned individuals have become synonymous with this captivating trait. Sanpaku eyes, a term originating from Japanese culture, refers to a particular eye condition where the iris is partially concealed by the white of the eye either above or below. But they don't seem to be exceptionally rare. There isn't any solid research or data available on how rare or common sanpaku eyes are. One Punch Man characters Naruto and Saitama are two examples. If you stop watching anime, you'll notice that most of them have the lower part with the most visible sclera or just a little black ball in the middle with the rest white. This is also thought to indicate a physical and mental imbalance in traditional Japanese medicine. Apparently, it's just a regular feature of someone, but there's a lot of superstition surrounding sanpaku eyes among the Japanese.Īnd having such eyes can have a negative impact on a person's destiny. ![]() This characteristic can be present in both or only one of the person's eyes. ![]()

![]() ![]() This stick is unlike most other sunscreen sticks because it’s a mineral-based formula that’s tinted. Also, it’s a bit expensive for a sunscreen stick at $35 per stick. Unfortunately, you might find that this formula pills when you reapply. “This SPF 50 sunscreen stick is a 100% mineral sunscreen that is beloved by dermatologists and customers,” she says. Graf likes this sunscreen stick because it’s water-resistant and contains hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid, which will also benefit the skin while protecting against sun damage. Yadav especially likes EltaMD's products because they're designed to be comfortable and safe on all skin types, even the most sensitive and acne-prone.ĭr. “This one can be used on the face and body, is oil-free, and uses mineral blockers to provide SPF 50+ protection.”ĭr. “You'd be hard-pressed to find a dermatologist that wouldn't recommend EltaMD-their SPF formulas are second to none,” explains Dr. The formula is likely to pill when you reapply.ĮltaMD is a brand that’s well-known for creating sunscreens ideal for acne-prone skin. Additionally, it seems like the stick is prone to breaking apart if you aren’t careful. It’s worth noting that if you don’t rub this product in well, it might leave a bit of a white cast. “It’s great for all skin types-it leaves no film or bluish cast on darker skin types.” “With added vitamin E, this sunscreen stick has a soft, lightweight feel, comes out sheer, and doesn’t leave a sticky film, making for easy application,” she says. Graf also loves to recommend this sunscreen stick to her patients for multiple reasons. “It's gentle enough for sensitive skin and features the brand's signature ‘Dry Touch Technology,’ so it feels silky, almost like a primer, rather than sticky or stiff,” explains Geeta Yadav, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and founder of FACET Dermatology.ĭr. ![]() This pick is pretty large compared to other sunscreen sticks on this list, and has a footprint comparable to a stick of deodorant. You can count on Neutrogena to create a great sunscreen product that’s affordable and family-friendly, too. You need to rub this product in pretty well. The biggest downsides are that it’s pricey at $55 per stick, and is available at very few retailers. We like that this stick has up to 80 minutes of water resistance and also protects your skin against blue light, infrared radiation, and pollution, too. “It is also water resistant and offers broad spectrum coverage with SPF 56.” “The Sunbetter SHEER SPF 56 Sunscreen Stick is a good option for a sunscreen stick as it is dermatologist-tested and approved due to its clean ingredients and lightweight formula,” explains Jeannette Graf, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and Assistant Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mt Sinai School of Medicine. The Skinbetter Science Sunbetter Sheer SPF 56 Sunscreen Stick is our overall winner because it contains a high SPF level, has a large rounded tip for easy application, and goes on completely transparent. The product is only available at select retailers. Here are the best sunscreen sticks for effortless protection all year long. We also interviewed two dermatologists for the exact sunscreen sticks that they recommend to their patients for optimal protection. To create our list of the best sunscreen sticks, we referred to our own experience of using these sticks personally, including testing some of these in our testing lab. ![]() And if you have irritated, red skin, aloe vera, and jojoba oil are a good idea. Do you have dry skin? Opt for a sunscreen that includes vitamin E or hyaluronic acid. And it’s a good idea to look out for ingredients that benefit your skin type. You should look for a sunscreen stick that has at least SPF 30 protection or more (50 is ideal). When on the hunt for a great sunscreen stick, there are a few factors you need to consider.

Let’s see how increasing position size increases drawdown by constructing a curve similar to the one for GHPR for maximum drawdown. We left off with an example showing that investing in SPY at optimal f would cause some extreme discomfort along the way. Read here and feel free to follow along with provided notebook. This post will help traders maximize their gains while still getting their beauty rest! Since a 20% retracement from peak equity causes most investors to start tossing in their sleep, this approach doesn’t seem very realistic. This would have yielded the greatest compounded rate of return, but would have induced a 97% (!!!) max drawdown along the way. To realize the greatest return on capital, an investor in SPY since its inception should have used over 3x leverage to buy in. Max(drawdown) = the maximum drawdown (3 years or more)Īs mentioned above, the maximum drawdown measures the maximum loss of a portfolio from its peak value.įor example, the portfolio’s maximum drawdown is 37.5%, the average annual return is 45%, and the risk-free rate is 3.5%.What does “optimal” mean, anyway? In the first part of this series, we discovered that the staked fraction of capital that yields the greatest compounded returns also yields a less-than-optimal level of drawdown. ![]() PR = Average Annual Portfolio Return (3 years or more) It is calculated by subtracting the portfolio's lowest dollar value from its peak dollar value, the result is divided by the peak dollar value. Maximum drawdown measures the maximum loss of a portfolio from its peak value. Most commonly, the standard deviation is calculated on a monthly or yearly basis.Standard deviation rises as returns become more volatile, a portfolio with a lower SD is better than a portfolio with a higher SD.A lower standard deviation means the return is more consistent and predictable over time.The lower the standard deviation of a portfolio the better.Why is this important? Because we want to make sure that the positive historical performance of a portfolio is consistent and can be easily repeated in the future.īy using the standard deviation, investors can normalize the returns of any portfolio. A lower SD shows that the values tend to be close to the mean, this mean value is also called the expected value. A higher SD shows that the values are spread out. The standard deviation (SD) or Sigma (Greek letter σ) is a statistical tool that measures the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. You can use the annualized return of the 3-month US Treasury Bill in the US or the 3-month Euribor in the EU.Any investment that is expected to offer lower returns than the risk-free rate of return is an unacceptable investment. Generally, the risk-free rate of return is based on the annualized interest paid on a 3-month Treasury bill. The risk-free rate refers to the annual return an investor can earn without taking any risk. Most of the following performance ratios are partially based on these three important components. These concepts include the risk-free rate of return, the standard deviation (SD), and the maximum drawdown. Three Key Investment Concepts Before Moving Onīefore moving on with the ratios that measure risk-adjusted performance, it is important to mention some basic concepts. This analysis includes the following risk-adjusted portfolio performance ratios: This combination is called risk-adjusted portfolio performance. By combing risk and return into a single value, investors can compare the real performance of different portfolios. ![]() There are two main investing goals: (i) get the highest annual payout (Return), by (ii) minimize the chances of losing money (Risk). ![]() These tools are also useful to compare investment strategies, indices, or even the historical performance of different money managers and hedge funds.Ĭombining Risk and Return into a Single Comparable Value There are a lot of sophisticated tools that can help investors evaluate risk-adjusted portfolio performance.

Accordingly, when engaging in your next conversation or reviewing a conversation in retrospect, consider the extent to which you: One article can't begin to cover such an important topic, but we can at least benefit from reminders about basic listening practices which I share in the form of a checklist. Effective communication begins with effective listening. You can help them find one at the National Center for Medical Home Implementation website.As a mediator and teacher of mediation and alternative dispute resolution practices, I can't do enough to remind others (and myself especially) of the importance of effective listening. If the family does not have a regular healthcare provider, then you may want to talk with your center director or employer about helping connect a family to a medical home. If you or someone in your center regularly screens children in your care with a formal, scientifically tested screening tool, encourage the family to share those screening results with their child’s doctor. Encourage families to ask their child’s doctor about developmental screening especially if a milestone checklist pinpoints a concern. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children be screened using a formal, scientifically tested screening tool whenever there is a concern, along with routine screenings at 9, 18, and 24 or 30 months and autism screening at 18 and 24 months. Many families have a regular pediatrician or healthcare provider who can help the family sort out their concerns and think about next steps. For example, if a mother seems worried when talking about her child, you might say, “It sounds like you are pretty worried about this.”ĭeveloping and using these listening skills in your conversations with parents will help to enhance your relationships with parents and make difficult conversations more successful.Įncourage parents to share their concerns with their child’s doctor or healthcare provider. If you acknowledge those feelings in what you say, you will build a stronger connection with the parent. Watch and listen closely for clues to those feelings. As you listen, also consider how the parent feels about what he or she is saying.For example, if a mother of a child in your care says that her child is not speaking as clearly as her neighbor’s child of the same age, you might say, “I hear you saying that you do not hear Ginny speaking clearly.” After listening, repeat back in your own words the parent’s main point so he or she will know you heard and understood.During the conversation, listen closely try to make eye contact, nod when appropriate, and be silent when the parent is speaking.Using these skills will help build relationships and encourage better communication: How you carry on the conversation is very important to its success. ![]() Good listening skills help make a conversation more successful. ![]() *Parents refers to the primary caregivers of children in your care.

Just like these movement milestones that are so familiar to parents, their child’s social/emotional, communication/language, and cognitive developmental milestones also progress in a series of orderly steps. All the “small” steps in between represent important developmental milestones: rolling over, sitting up, crawling, cruising, walking, running, and others. Children grow up so quickly it is as if one day they are beginning to sit up and the next they are playing baseball.

Obviously we didn’t bother to clean this out since it’s going to be covered up again. In the photo below, you are looking at the incredibly dirty metal sheet that was part of the original deck. Trim the end of the sheet so it goes over the top of the drain. Pull it taut and then carefully staple it every 12-16 inches into the joist, just on one side. This is much more easily done with two people, but not impossible to do alone. Then roll out the sheeting until it reaches the end where your drain is. Take the end of the black plastic sheet and tuck it under the metal piece that should be installed next to the house, staple in place. Step on joists or slide deck boards to the joist closest to the spot you’re working on so you can kneel on them (which is what we did.) Step 3: Install the GuttersĪfter a little trial and error, we figured out that the best way to install the gutters was to expose the entire length of the deck joists (you lay the gutter in between joists) to create a nice smooth gutter. Then remove the rest of the boards to install the gutters. Suggestion: Remove a few boards from the outside edge to install drains. We then tried to start putting in the plastic sheeting you use for the gutters, but not being able to lay it completely the length of the deck made for a very uneven gutter. We first removed about five deck boards starting from the outer edge so we could kneel on the deck to install the drains. Seems like we’re always in the middle of 500 projects! Just ignore how bad my backyard looks right now. We then put a line of caulk on the seam between the front wood beam and the fascia board. To install the drains, you cut a little half-moon shape out of each drain for the gutter to rest in. This helped a lot when putting the deck back together since there were holes drilled for the railing in certain boards. One great idea my husband had was to put a piece of tape on each board to label exactly where it was. So don’t believe everything you hear, even if it’s from someone who is “professional.”’ We had to go through a few different bits, but we got the boards off, no problem. Wrong! We bought some good, strong star bits for our impact driver and used them to remove the boards. ![]() The deck company who built our deck said that removing the deck boards would be next to impossible and you’d most likely break the boards in the process. It wasn’t too hard for us to remove the railing and deck boards. Highly recommend this step if you have livable space underneath, and even if you don’t, at least use the tape on the joists to protect it from water damage. So obviously it is ideal to waterproof a deck before you add the decking on top, if you are building it new. So if you are doing this to a pre-existing deck, you will have to remove any/all railing and deck boards to reach the joists underneath. Unlike competitive products – which make use of “under joist” technology – Trex RainEscape is installed above the joists, protecting the joists and beams from moisture, water damage and deterioration and ensuring the structural integrity of the deck. It’s all pretty simple to use and high quality stuff. Whether you just want to protect the wood by taping over the joists or make it so water doesn’t seep through the deck, they have the whole shebang. It’s honestly the best one out there and they include everything you need to protect your deck from moisture, deterioration and water damage. We partnered with Trex RainEscape on this project, the #1 deck drainage system. This is a fairly straightforward project, and while I wouldn’t call it simple, it’s a DIY project that can be done in a weekend. Since we want to be able to use the hot tub year round, we decided it would be optimal to add a drainage system to the deck for protection from weather in the space underneath and also to extend the life of the deck since it protects the substructure from water. We splurged on a hot tub this year and put it under our main floor deck. We have a deck that has a usable space underneath. ![]() |
