Sinus Infection Symptoms, Antibiotics, and Alternative Medicine Modern Living, Complex Health Problems In our post-modern industrial polluted stress-filled bad-diet culture, no one’s health is simple. We are plagued by complex long-term illnesses like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, AIDS, even sinus problems… it may seem weird to you that I include sinus infections, but the root causes of sinus trouble can be quite complicated… Especially if they are long-term. Antibiotic Overuse Problems I hate to say it (because antibiotics are so great in some situations, and so popular overall), but antibiotics can complicate things even further – there are...

Is Drop Shipping a Realistic Way to Make Money Online? Drop shipping, for those who are unfamiliar with it, is a system whereby you promote the products of a particular manufacturer, take orders directly, and the manufacturer/source handles all the inventory and fulfillment functions for you. In a nutshell, here is the drop-ship system: ==> You generate and accept the order. ==> You take your profits out of the sale price. ==> You forward the order and the wholesale cost to the drop shipper. ==> The source factory ships directly to your customer. The benefits of this arrangement are probably...

Disruptive Technologies – Part 1: How music editors are related to steam engines I am not into technologies, those that change so ever fast, and always. But I do observe technological trends, along which the development of scientific applications revolves. And of all trends, perhaps disruptive technologies are the defining path of industrial implications, a linear passage that technological progress almost invariably follows. Though the concept of “disruptive technologies” is only popularized in 1997 by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen in his best-seller “The Innovator’s Dilemma”, the phenomenon was already evidenced back in 1663, when Edward Somerset published designs...

Siberia, Russia Part 4 – Airport Follies and a Stern Lecture In this continuing series, we cover my decision to move from San Diego to Chita, Siberia to be a professor at Chita State Technical University. We pick up the story aboard the flight from Anchorage to Khabarovsk, Russia. Day 3 [Still] As I lounged in my huge Aeroflot seat, the stewardess announced that we would be arriving in Khabarovsk in the next 30 minutes. Khabarovsk is located in the deep south of the far east of Russia on the border with China. It is the home of the Far...

NCLB Program Should Take Its Cue from Dallas Schools Failure to educate our country’s most disadvantaged students is the most glaring and abiding social and moral problem of the United States. For nearly 20 years, our nation has worked to improve our schools and student achievement levels. The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was to be the answer to this dilemma by holding all schools accountable for student performance using high-stakes testing. The error in thinking is the belief that the NCLB test ratings are fair and accurate. The system does not factor out the disadvantages and/or advantages of...

What Is Most Important – Copy Or Pic? When, some little time ago now, I first descended upon the advertising scene, we were a good deal more concerned than most people seem to be today about the nature of the business we found ourselves in. We were always holding debates – in the saloon bar of the Coach & Horses in New Bond Street, to be tiresomely precise – about the meaning of advertising, the significance of advertising, and the past, present and future of advertising. And an unconscionably serious lot we no doubt were. Not to mention drunk. Among...

Junk Food Bans In Schools – The Practical Side In the face of what many see as an exploding obesity epidemic among both adults and children, a growing number of state and regional legislatures are passing laws that prohibit the sale of junk foods in school vending machines and cafeterias. The new regulations differ from region to region, but the general drift is to reduce the availability of sugar, salt, and fat laden foods and snacks, and replace them with more nutritious healthy foods and snacks. The money issue Such good intentions are not always easy to implement. Money raises...

A Peek into Business Process Re-engineering Business process re-engineering (BPR) sounds esoteric at best, and maybe a little pretentious. Wouldn’t it be simpler to say business process change? Most people understand what a business process is but when you combine it with re-engineering, it suddenly sounds vague. The ProSci-sponsored BPR Online Learning Center calls a business process “a set of activities that transform a set of inputs into a set of outputs (goods or services) for another person or process using people and tools.” It is simple. The way we interpret that is: there are many ways of doing business,...

Infrastructure and Prosperity In the past, if you mentioned the word “infrastructure”, the verbal reflex would be: “physical”. Infrastructure was roads, telephone lines, ports, airports and other very tangible country spanning things. Many things were added to this category as time went by, but they all preserved the tangibility requirements – even electricity and means of communication were measured by their physical manifestations: lines, poles, distances. Today, we distinguish three additional categories of infrastructure which were unbeknownst to our forefathers: Social infrastructure – laws, social institutions and agencies, social stratification, demographic elements and other social structures, formal and informal. It...

Birth Defects and Chemicals While an embryo may die due to a chemical exposure and result in a miscarriage, a developing fetus will survive but can suffer altered DNA that results in malformations, deformities, retardation and birth defects – lifetime serious personal injuries that can and should have been avoided. It is not as if scientists haven’t known that dangerous chemicals cause birth defects or only learned that fact recently. Chemical manufacturers for decades did not report all known risks of chemical exposure, relying on the weakest reports assuring safety, to avoid loss of sales. The same chemical suppliers that...

Robinair 75700 Coolant Fluid Exchanger In a modern, state of the art automotive service shop, coolant fluid removal can be a real money maker or a labor intensive process. Especially if you are not operating the right equipment. With today’s modern equipment it is possible to easily and efficiently remove coolant fluid from most vehicles without making a gigantic mess on the shop floor and burning up labor hours. Less sophisticated mechanics still manually drain the coolant system, take apart the coolant system and reintroduce new coolant. Doing it the “old fashioned way” is just that, old fashioned and unprofessional....

Kitchen Safety: Keeping Stovetops and Ovens Clean The kitchen is the heart of a family’s house. It is in this room that a family prepares meals, shares meals, and gathers to talk about the day. This is the room where guests gather, where friends play games around the kitchen table, and where parents might relish a quiet time at the end of the day. It is also one of the leading locations for a household fire, an accident, or germs that breed food-borne illness. Every householder needs to be aware of the issue of kitchen safety. Many homemakers ignore the...

American Corporatism At Its Best Robert Redford and James Caan were right on the money. Back in 1975 my fiancée prodded me to see two movies. Little did I know back then these two cinema releases were very foretelling about our nation’s future. In Three Days Of The Condor, Robert Redford, played a maverick CIA technician on the death list of the agency he serves. Cliff Robertson played the agent-in-charge of the CIA hit. The two argue next to the New York Time Building about whether an American army would ever invade the Middle East over oil. In the immediate...

Melanin “Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is responsible for 90% of the visible signs of aging on the skin of whites,” says Dr. Michael J. Martin, former Assistant Clinical Professor in the Dept. of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of California, San Francisco. Blacks’ skin, however, ages much slower. Why are most dark-skinned blacks protected from harmful UV rays? Because compared to whites, blacks possess more melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. Melanin Melanin offers protection against UV rays for blacks and other dark-skinned people. Conversely, fair-skinned people are much less protected and more susceptible to skin cancer. Furthermore, albinos’...

A Brief History Of Photography For centuries images have been projected onto surfaces. The camera obscura and the camera lucida were used by artists to trace scenes as early as the 16th century. These early cameras did not fix an image in time; they only projected what passed through an opening in the wall of a darkened room onto a surface. In effect, the entire room was turned into a large pinhole camera. Indeed, the phrase camera obscura literally means “darkened room,” and it is after these darkened rooms that all modern cameras have been named. The first photograph is...

A Buyers’ Guide To Laminators And Laminate Lamination is simply the process of enveloping a document between two layers of plastic film and sealing its edges in order to provide a level of protection against outside influences that may cause damage. Photos, posters, letters, certificates and cards are all examples of documents that commonly utilize such a technique, and the items can either be produced professionally or with special laminating products that are used in the home. Of the different types of laminators that are available, those which use the process of thermal (or heat) lamination are actually layers of...

Basic Insulation Buying Tips Insulation is the process of enclosing or covering an object with a material that serves as a barrier and reduces (or blocks) the flow of energy, specifically heat.

Doors Open 2006– Toronto’s Architectural Festival Sure Has Become Popular…. Judging by the line-ups of architecture buffs on the streets, Toronto’s free architecture festival, Doors Open, is a resounding success. Since 2000 Doors Open has been providing free access to architecturally or culturally significant buildings that would normally be closed to the public or charge an entrance fee. This year more than 140 locations participated and included buildings dating back to the War of 1812, the Victorian era, early 20th century skyscrapers, places of worship as well as environmentally progressive “green” buildings. More than one million people have explored Toronto’s...

About Tempurpedic Mattresses. Tempurpedic Mattresses, generically known as Memory Foam, are becoming mainstream items. Even so, with all the different options and prices of foam on the market, the consumer should know about the major differences between these products prior to paying a major amount of money for a bed they will be sleeping on for many years. I’ve personally tried out a memory foam mattress and pillow set, and can honestly express enthusiasm for this product. It adapts to the contours of the body significantly better than an innerspring mattress. In any case, I personally cannot personally recommend a...

retirement places for baby boomers Retirement Places for Baby Boomers, A Place for Rest for Baby Boomers People who were born after the World War II conflict in 1946 and before the Vietnam War are considered to be the baby boomers generation.

The baby boomers generation is considered to be the era where it was the turning point of the political...

Supplementation Is No Longer An Option Supplementation is no longer an option if your objective is a healthier life. Many health advisors try to tell their clients that they only need a “well balanced” diet to meet these recommendations. However if you do some careful thinking you will find the task very difficult. Taking care of ourselves has become even more important especially if you consider what we have done to the health of the planet and out bodies. We continuously intake less and less healthy foods with more and more chemicals that can only do damage to an already...

An Example Of Allowing A Desire To Arrive On Its Own I don’t know why, but it seems we trip over the “allowing” part of the Deliberate Attraction formula more often than the other two parts. The Deliberate Attraction formula gives us a simple description of how to leverage the Law of Attraction so we can attract more of what we DO want and enjoy. The three steps are simply: 1) Become very clear about what you DO want. 2) Raise your internal vibration, through removing doubts and fears, so you are a vibrational match for your desire. 3) Allow...

Land Use Rights For Foreign Investors In China What the Law Says In China, neither domestic companies nor Foreign Invested Enterprises may own land outright; instead they own Land Use Rights. There are two kinds of Land Use Rights – Allocated and Granted. In comparison with Western common law concepts, Allocated Land Use Rights are in some way similar to leaseholds, and Granted Land Use Rights are in some ways similar to life estates. Allocated Land Use Rights are generally provided by the government for an indefinite period (usually to state-owned entities) and cannot be pledged, mortgaged, leased, or transferred...

Mold Disinfectant Some Facts About Mold Most of us have heard of mold, but don’t really know much about it. Until it makes it sick, or we notice that something in our refrigerator or cupboard has grown a layer of green fuzz, we don’t really think about it. The fact is mold is a living fungus that exists all around us. It grows in our houses, often unseen, and we should really have a good mold disinfectant on hand. Mold spreads easily because it sends out tiny spores that the air carries everywhere. The spores are invisible and their goal...

Foods and Diets Litigations Why is that food processing and commerce are not strictly regulated by law so as to prevent health problems generated by an inadequate diet? Unhealthy products encourage an unhealthy diet, appealing the consumer by their availability within reach and the invading advertising. If the food producers are controlled by health officials, then it must be that the regulations are too lax in as far as marketed foods are concerned. Everyone knows that, for instance, hydrogenated oils and partially hydrogenated oils are highly unhealthy. Tons of studies and informative material have been published, yet there is a...

Corporate Loans – Funding Industrial Growth If individuals thought that they were the only ones who had the use for loans, then corporate loans will show them that they are incorrect. The corporates, who are deemed to have a large surplus of cash, too find themselves at the mercy of the loan providers (though not in the strictest sense of the word). The use for corporate loans may emerge out of two reasons. Firstly, there maybe a shortage of cash and the loan is required to substitute the cash shortage. Secondly, they feel that the cash balance will find more...

Self Empowerment Comes From Obeying Universal Principles Abraham Lincoln was a man that found himself smack dab in the middle of a fight he didn’t want nor create. But it was a fight he could not run away from; for it was a fight concerning a universal principle on which he should have remained inflexible. That principle was, that men and women are all equal and must be treated with the same respect; the principle of “Independence”. Now this universal principle was not a man made law at that time. No laws had been written concerning slavery. So how was...

Bearings Since Murphy or whoever it was, took credit for the round wheel, rolling technology has changed somewhat. Today, friction whether static or dynamic, is reliant on bearings to reduce motor or engine load. What is sometimes overlooked is the inherent features and design of a bearings to reduce temperature where it is not necessary. The basic requirement is to reduce contacting surface areas. More extreme requirements are to reduce vibration, reduce allotted space required to house such a bearing, and extend their life. Needle roller bearings are used where the load is spread length ways, and a typical or...
