Outline of a cloud containing text 'The Cloud'Image via Wikipedia
With the rising unemployment on a global scale, many people have few options left for finding work. Finding jobs in New York, jobs in Philadelphia, or jobs in California may be easy because of the level of urbanization of these cities. But what about areas that are not as urbane or highly industrialized? A good option is to find a job on the web.

Jobs online are not just about programming or website design. A good typist can find a job for various clients and earn as much as $50 dollars per hour. Other online jobs that pay well is for a professional writer and a virtual assistant.


To be a highly paid online writer, you must be good in not just writing articles, but also in writing academic papers, business reports, press releases, marketing copy, and even medical and scientific articles. You also need a few technical skills to handle blogging and using the social media sites for marketing and search engine optimization.

Additional skills needed for a writer is keyword search and analysis, Internet research, and a bunch of other extra skills, like office and administrative skills. Once you become proficient in all these technical, academic, and office skills, you are ready to move up as a virtual assistant.

Unlike the ordinary secretary or office assistant, a virtual assistant earns more without spending more on gas and lunch expenses. As a virtual assistant, you are trusted by your client to become a "business partner" of sorts. You invest the time and energy in operating and marketing your client's business while working at home, or anywhere you want, as long as you have a laptop and a stable Internet connection.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected.

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
