What Can Cause Eye Colour Change?

In humans the colours of the eyes - or more accurately the irises of the eyes - can vary from the lightest shade of gray to the darkest shade of brown. Predominantly it is your genes and your body’s melanin production that will determine your eye colour. However, eye colour can change throughout a person’s lifetime starting from infancy, which can be due to several factors. 

Regardless of ethnic background or the parents’ eye colour, most babies have gray or blue eyes at birth and as they grow the colour of the irises will slowly change, which can be fascinating to observe for parents and relatives. In fact, eye colour is primarily determined by the distribution and concentration of melanin within the iris fibers as well as the spacing and size of the iris fibers. Melanin is not present in the irises at birth. This is the reason why most babies have similar eye colour. However, from the age of 4 to 6 months when the body begins to produce and deposit melanin into the iris fibers, the infant’s eye colour will visibly start to change accordingly. According to experts it can take up to 5 years for the final eye colour to develop.

Eye Color Change Due to Aging

As we age, the colour of the eyes can gradually become lighter. This will most commonly occur in Caucasian people who had a lighter colour to begin with. With aging melatonin can begin to break down in the iris fibers, which can cause a visible change to a person’s eye colour. However, people who have darker eye colour will not experience a noticeable change.

Eye Color Change Due to Medications

Using Prostaglandin Analogs, which is an eye drop, prescribed for intraocular pressure or in other words pressure built up within the eyes due to the accumulation of fluids. It is important to use them, since they reduce the chances of developing optic nerve damage. However, one of the potential side effects of this drug is that the user’s irises may turn permanently brown.

Detoxing

According to research detoxing your body will significantly lighten the colour of your eyes. Not only that, it will also clear your skin, making your complexion healthy and glowing.

Illegal Drugs

Although the use of illegal substances will not cause any permanent eye colour change, neither will it affect the irises, temporarily it can make a user’s eyes glassy and red. The pupils of the eyes will significantly enlarge and controlling eye movement will also become difficult. The effects of this eye colour change will only last for a few hours before the person’s vision, eye movement and eye colour returns to normal again.

Coolest Offices-Don’t You Wish You Worked There Unless of Course You Do!

We spend about a third of our lives working and for most of us, this means working in an office of some form or another. Going to work is often a chore whereby we try to make the day pass as quickly as possible waiting anxiously for 5pm to arrive. It’s not like this for everyone though as there are offices out there which will completely blow your mind! This top 10 list gives us an insight into some of these amazing places of employment.

Living Social

Designed by OTJ Architects, Living Social has created a workspace for its employees full of colour and character. The office is completely bike friendly with internal parking bays. The floors are hard wearing and polished and metro maps can be seen on the walls. Meeting areas are referred to as parks with traditional, generic office furniture being replaced with bespoke antique pieces. All in all a fantastic, workable yet fun environment to be in.

Now based in Carnaby Street, the sports manufacturing giant has injected a wealth of influence in their London office. Employees will have the benefit of large TV’s available to watch big games and large open spaces conducive to a chilled working environment.

McLaren

McLaren’s HQ in Surrey is a perfect example of how things should be done. Not unlike their exploits on the track, their technology centre sets the standard. Apart from the stunning glass structure surrounded by a selection of artificial lakes, McLaren is a leading employer. As an aspiring engineer, this would be the place to nurture your skills in the best possible environment.

FactSet

The company is not the best payer on the list but is has a young vibe and encourages progression within. There is also a free top class restaurant style canteen. Employees have said that the offices are very similar to a university campus which in itself will be a draw to many young people.

Boston Consulting Group

Not only do they have cool, sophisticated offices but every Friday, the employees are treated to a free beer cart as part of a weekly happy hour. There are more concrete incentives too since every employee once hired will earn $139,000 a year for their basic salary.

DreamWorks

DreamWorks Central Fountain

DreamWorks is a great place to work due to the simple fact that employees are genuinely valued for what they do. New starters are given the personal treatment from the CEO and all workers are given daily updates via email. Despite being a large organisation, there is a warm intimate feeling amongst the workers.

Facebook

The Facebook offices are the envy of many a workplace. One of the reasons is that it is the product of the desires of the workers themselves. The company asked employees on its own website what they wanted in an office. The result was clear open spaces complete with iPhone docking stations and a DJ station which enables cool tunes whilst you work.

Pixar

Pixar Studios

This is one of the few places where you can immerse in your inner child. It’s a tranquil, calming environment where workers will inevitably experience an absence of stress. It’s almost like going to playgroup but for adults.

Groupon

Groupon Office

The Groupon office culture is completely whacky. Following on from their huge commercial success in recent years, their offices have come to be a reflection of their fun approach to work. All the meeting rooms are themed and there is even one based on 1980’s teenage boy’s room. White boards are present all around as an outlet for spurs of creativity or just plain scribbling!

Google

Google Office

Google really is a great place to work. It truly is outstanding and justifiably at the top of the list. This is a place where people are desperate to get their feet through the front door and with good reason. Complete with a games room, free food from eleven gourmet restaurants, free onsite doctors, and its own gym, why would you want to go home? This company even allows you to wear your pyjamas to work!

Off Roading – The Ultimate 4x4 Hobby

If you’re thinking of starting a new hobby and you like fun, excitement and you enjoy building your skills, then you should consider off roading.

Off roading has been around for several decades as a leisure activity. It all started after the Second World War when GI’s began buying the same types of Jeep they had used during the war and driving them around America’s countryside.

Since then off roading has grown into a massive industry with millions of people all over the world taking part in off roading holidays or even investing in their own off road vehicle to drive whenever they like.

Where can I go Off Roading?
In the UK there are hundreds of places where you can try off roading out. Try searching the internet to look for a provider that’s close to you if you just want to give it a try; or if you want to really go for it you can book an off roading holiday in various rural areas throughout Britain.

Who goes off roading?
People of all types and ages go off roading so joining a 4x4 club is a great way to meet people. You can be any age or sex and you can consider yourself a great driver or want to build your confidence. As long as you’ve got a driving licence you can have a go.

Is Off Roading Expensive?
Off roading doesn’t have to be expensive. You can book an activity day for under £50 and if you have a large group it becomes even cheaper. Of course if you want to invest in your own 4x4 then you will have to spend some money, but when you consider the use you’ll get out of your vehicle and the enjoyable times you’ll experience it’s well worth it.

Can I go off roading abroad?
There are hundreds of holiday destinations that offer 4x4 experiences but in some areas you may require extra insurance if you want to take part. Off roading is a great way to explore holiday destinations from a different angle and fantastic for beach holidays where you might want a break from the towns and beaches.

What can I gain from off roading
Driving a 4x4 across difficult terrain is an ideal way to improve your driving skills and be a more confident driver in your daily life. Once you’ve negotiated rocks, rivers and rugged landscapes then a spin through the city centre will seem like a doddle.

Driving a 4x4 can really get the adrenalin pumping so it’s a great way to inject some excitement into your life and relieve all that work stress.

Off roaders are a friendly bunch so if you want to get out there and meet like minded people then it could be the perfect activity for you.

How to Create an Emergency Preparedness Kit for Your Dog

It is something we never want to think about, the bad situations and natural disasters that could put you, your family and pets in serious danger, yet happens all the time around the world. You do not want to be in a panic wondering what to grab and take with you as you evacuate your home during a time that would be very stressful. The best way to ensure that you have what you need is to prepare in advance for what you would need to take for you and your family, as well as having a specific emergency preparedness kit for your dog.

What to Pack
Emergency preparedness kits should include the essentials needed to live for several weeks. This includes clothes, food, water, medicine and any toys for entertainment and blankets for shelter and sleeping. It is also important to have access to monetary funds, while it is best to have cash stored away; a credit card is also a viable option.

Specifically when it comes to packing an emergency preparedness kit for your dog you
should include the following:

Food*: have 7-21 days of food, either dry or canned (pop-top)
Water*: have 7-21 days worth of water
Food Dishes: one for water and one for food
Medicine*: 7-21 days worth of any medicine your dog requires
Pet Carrier
Blanket
Disposable Bags: waste clean-up
Extra Collar & Tags
Extra Harness & Leash
Pre-printed Lost Pet flyers (just in case)
Copies of medical records
Pet First Aid Book
A Few Toys/Chew Toys

*Food, water and medicine should be rotated in and out often so these items do not go bad and become unusable in the event of an actual emergency.

Other Preparations
Make sure all of your emergency preparedness kits for your family and pets are near an exit and can be easily found and grabbed in the event of an emergency. On top of preparing and maintaining all of your emergency preparedness kits there are also, a few other tactics you can do that can make a world of difference in an emergency. If you do not already, you should get a rescue alert sticker for your home. Available at most pet supply stores, this sticker tells emergency rescue workers how many people and pets are in the house, if it comes to the point that they need to search for survivors. If you are able to get everyone and your pets out of the house, make sure to write “evacuated” over the sticker (or place a pre-written “evacuated” sticker on it). This will let workers know you are safe so they can put their efforts on any other homes that may be affected by the disaster. The other important step to take ahead of time is to plan where you will go for shelter in the event of an emergency. If you have family or friends who are willing to take in your family and pets great, otherwise, you will need to research shelters that are pet friendly, as some shelters will not take in pets. You can also look into a pet only shelter for your pets if you are comfortable leaving your pet for a little while as you all recuperate from the emergency. You may also want to consider installing a microchip in your dog that way your dog will always be connected to your whether he loses his collar and tags or not.
