Three Places To Find Your Dream Swimming Pool For Your Backyard In Raleigh

Janice | March 18, 2020March 25, 2020

Are you looking out with exasperation at that huge back yard now that the kids are gone? Has the thought of mowing the grass every two weeks in the hot August sun of North Carolina lost its appeal for you? Does baking in the hot summer sun, roasting you from the top down bring chills?

Before you try any of those places for your dream swimming pool, you need to try and find the perfect swimwear for yourself. With Jets Swimwear you get to choose from a wide variety of swimwear that are available for every size and offer you all the trendy designs at affordable prices.

If you have had it with mowing, perhaps it is time that you consider a pool or spa for the back yard. Like so many other things Raleigh has a wide array of options for you and a number of people who can help you fulfill those options.

For some of us, the best option is a traditional pool with a deep end and a kiddy end. This can work out well if the purpose is to relax in the pool when the kids or grandkids are not in town while having a safe place for the kids to play when they are about.

If there are no kids, a pool with no particular shallow end may be in order. This is the type of pool that would allow some basic laps swimming.

The nice feature of a pool is that the larger it is and the more paved edge on it, the small the lawn is. This is true for those who really want to retire the mower for good.

For those who want a more modest pool, they are also available.

One of the long term providers of pools and spas, Rising Sun, can be found at:

Rising Sun Pools Spas, Inc.

5608 Hillsborough Street

Raleigh, NC 27606

(919) 851-9700

In addition to exercise and fun pools and spas can serve a more important role for some people. My younger brother’s daughter had a serious car accident some years back. Her car was crushed and every bone in her body sort of got crushed with it.

One of the doctors suggested that one thing that would help was a spa since my brother was looking for a way to help her. Turns out that the spa was great for helping injured people heal. She healed so well that except for the alarms that go off in the airport, you wouldn’t even know she had been broken in a million places.

The spa has the advantage of being heated to the desired temperature and having water flow in desired directions. This with the natural buoyancy of the water makes for an extremely therapeutic device. For purposes like these, you do have to be selective about which spa or pool based on the suggested treatment.

Another fine provider of Pools and Spas is:

Candler Pools and Spas

628 Maywood Avenue

Raleigh, NC 27603

(919) 779-0620

Pools can also be used as we get older to continue to get sufficient exercise. Many of us suffer from ailments that limit our activity. Water exercises allow us to continue even as Mother Nature has given us aches and pains. Properly heated pools and spas permit many of us to continue resistance exercises without the risk of injury that comes with many of the gym-based exercises. My wife suffers from arthritis and finds she can do things in an 80+ degree pool that she couldn’t think of without the protection of the water. The combination of heat and natural resistance found in a pool can do wonders.

New To Bitcoin Mining? Follow These Three Steps

Janice | March 16, 2020March 20, 2020

Are you interested in Bitcoin mining but do not have much idea about cryptocurrencies? Are you completely new to BTC mining? Well, Bitcoin is no less than a revolution and it assures super-fast, inexpensive, international money transfer facility. Bitcoins are generated through a process called “mining” where one has to solve complex math problems to get rewarded with BTC coins. If you want to learn about the principles of mining and what are the ways in which Bitcoin mining works, then you should go through the following post. Mining Bitcoin needs to be understood thoroughly.

Owning a Mining Rig: If you are thinking of starting mining, then you should own a mining rig. Initially the miners used ordinary domestic computers and later graphics cards. Now-a-day you would not be able to obtain any Bitcoin with such machines. Even if you do gain something, that would be a very small amount after a long period of time.These days, Bitcoins are mined with the help of specialized hardware designed only for mining Bitcoins or any other currencies that are based on same algorithm. It is also known as ASIC or Application Specific Integrated Circuit Chips. It uses less energy and mines Bitcoins in a much faster pace. The device might be very expensive and the manufacturing procedure is very time consuming. However, its speed is the silver lining that one can get.

Bitcoin Wallet: The next important step would be to set up a Bitcoin Wallet. This is where you would receive your Bitcoins and would be able to operate them. These wallets enable you to operate your Bitcoin addresses as well. Bitcoins are technically stored in the Blockchain.Every Bitcoin wallet carries public key and matching private key. Public key comprises of a particular combination of characters which would be unique as well. It acts a bank account number. Therefore, if you want to receive any Bitcoin from anyone then you have to give him your public key.

Mining Pool: Despite having the best ASIC miner, it could become very difficult to gain Bitcoin today. One single machine might not come to any comparison with large mining farms which have grown up all around the world- and thus, mining on your own is not always profitable. However, the good thing is we have mining pools today. In case of pools, you will be able to mine with a large group of miners which makes the whole process really cost-effective.The miners provide their computing ability to a group and when the Bitcoins are mined, the gain is divided among its members according to a given power. Although the income is lower, but it would be regular. The members of a pool have to pay a fee to an operator of the pool. The fee is usually around 0 and 2% of the obtained reward.

Mined Bitcoins are traded to attain excellent returns that cryptocoins are famous for. If you too are interested in trading, you can check out the Bitcoin Revolution trading app. The Bitcoin Revolution algorithm is used by highly intelligent robots to analyse market signals. As a result, it can assure predictive income for the member traders. You can start off with a free demo account here.

Smoking And Vaping – Similarities And Differences You Should Know

Janice | March 10, 2020March 16, 2020

Vaping is usually known for stimulating the experience of smoking without subjecting the user to the exposure of risks associated with smoking. Smoke from vaping is mostly water vapor that has little effect to lungs unlike cigarettes. However, some of the vape companies do use nicotine in their solutions. Vape pen or e-cigarette has gained popularity and are giving a competition to the traditional cigarettes in the market as well. There are certain similarities and differences between smoking and vaping. The following post will give you a glimpse about it.

Similarities between Smoking and Vaping

Smoking is undoubtedly a bad practice for your health and can cause a lot of problems. Health benefits could only be understood once you quit smoking completely. Vaping might not be as harmful as smoking but it still has certain effects on your health.
Both smoking and vaping deliver nicotine which can lead to baneful effects for heart.
Various reports have confirmed that not only smoking can cause cancer or other health issues, but vaping can also lead to seizures and serious lung damage. It was not expected previously that vaping can cause such severe damages to human health.

Differences between Smoking and Vaping

When a user is smoking a cigarette, then he is inhaling the smoke that is produced by the burning of tobacco. However, vaping means the use of smoke free product which forms a vapor. A vape pen or e-cigarettecan be defined as a vaping tool. These tools allow you to inhale nicotine-contained vapor which would be less harmful than cigarettes.
Tobacco cigarettes are known for their long term impact upon health. It becomes addictive too which can cause severe hurt disease, stroke, emphysema, cancer, hypertension et cetera. Excessive and frequent use of cigarettes may lead to early death as well. On the other hand, long term impact for vaping is relatively unknown. They are considered to be less harmful and less destructive for human health. Sometimes they do contain nicotine like the traditional cigarettes but since there is no tar or other bypoducts of burning, the former is not as addictive as smoking. The smoke is actually a water vapor and that is why vaping is considered to be safer for long term health than the traditional cigarettes.
Smoking includes the burning of tobacco that contains thousands of chemicals out of which more than 20 have severe connection with cancerous ailments. These 20 or more chemicals can be referredto as carcinogens. One of the most important carcinogens is nicotine which is an addictive chemical that provides the user a desire to want more. Thus they become addicted to nicotine, not smoking. Apart from this there are others such as, hydrogen cyanide, formaldehyde, lead, arsenic, ammonia, benzene, carbon monoxide, nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Many of these chemicals can cause severe health conditions which include cancer, lung disease and heart disease. On the other hand, vaping does not require the process of combustion at all. Therefore it leaves out many of the harmful chemicals listed above. Nicotine, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, acetaldehyde, nitrosamines can be found here. Thus comparing to smoking, studies and reports have suggested that vaping does have a lower level of health risk. However, there are some rare cases of batteries being exploded which shows the malfunction of technology and vulnerability of vaping as well.

Despite all these facts, you take into consideration that both have their own features and can cause health issues.

Imraan Tahir: A Case for Hope! Why? Read to find out

Janice | March 9, 2020March 19, 2020

It’s still a sore point for me. That The Proteas choked yet again on the world’s biggest cricketing stage. Just thinking about how we scuppered yet another chance at World Cup glory still stings. However, even as the wound struggles to heal and the reality that another four years will need to pass before the possibility of redemption, this reporter can’t help but make a case for optimism.

Call me a purist, but even as the one-day game has cemented itself in the consciousness of our cricket-loving public over the last four decades, it remains to my mind a distance behind what I consider real cricket. Of course, I use the word ‘real’ loosely, because there are just over a billion Indian fans for whom the joy they felt upon lifting the Cup is as real as it gets. And, contrary to what some might say as I write this, what I am expressing here is not a case of sour grapes. I loved every moment of watching the likes of Tendulkar, Sehwag, Dhoni and Zaheer in full flight in this year’s edition of the competition. They earned nothing less than the world-wide acclaim they’ve been showered with. Because of them India deserves that Cup.

No one, however, can deny that the satisfaction that comes with two sides going toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye in combat over five days far surpasses the bubblegum gratification that is the one 50-over form. And, it is in this arena we have the most to be hopeful for. While it would be foolhardy to pin the hopes of fifty million South Africans on one man, I would venture to say that if he maintains the form and consistency shown throughout the World Cup and he is able to devote his heart and soul to South African cricket, the shoulders of one Imran Tahir – slim and delicate as they appear – may well carry the future of a nation hungrier than ever to prove itself. Moreover, forget the rapidly dying 50-over game as a place where he may help to atone his side’s constant betrayals. It is really in traditional whites that this firecracker of a player has the most to add.

Of course, the question of form and longevity can’t be overestimated. Having entered the fold at an age (31) when some cricketers find themselves hanging up their pads, he doesn’t have much time to play with. Whereas bowlers like Muttiah Muralidaran could go for long spells without taking wickets (think about Murali’s relative innocuousness against Australia), questions around his age were never brought to question. And, given South Africa’s history of impatience with slow bowlers, Tahir’s performance in Protea colours need to be of sustained brilliance over at least the next eight years or so for his age not to be held against him. Also, as nimble as Tahir appears, the hurly burly of international cricket can and will take its toll (both physically and emotionally), constantly threatening to cut short what will surely be a brilliant career otherwise. Given all of these factors against him, though, one can easily start lamenting his early loss to the game before he even bowls his first ball in whites! Let’s focus instead for a minute on what he will bring to the team.

First there’s his pure, unadulterated passion for the game. If there is any question as to this mild-mannered young man’s zest for the sport, I ask you this: is there a more infectious mode of celebration after the fall of a wicket in today’s game than his? Then there’s the fight. Okay, so we haven’t seen enough to know that he has the kind of character or grace under pressure to cope when a Tendulkar or a Ponting decide to take him on. But, given the oh so middle class, private-schooled, mummy’s boys who’ve been doing national service for so long, I rather look forward to someone in the team who roughed and toughed it out for so long to play for his country because now the ipl 2020 schedule and time is different and the tendulkar is not going to play but he might be attending all the matches that are going to be held in Indian cricket stadiums, not only that he will also be cheering the teams as an fan. Also, think about the possibilities when he is asked to bowl in tandem with Steyn or Morkel. It’s the kind of thought that has me firmly believing in the concept of karma. Finally, I understand why we suffered for so long under Glenn Mcgrath and Shane Warne. Our time was coming! All in the world is well again! Then there is the sub-continent. With the world-class spin threat he is likely to become, will the likes of India dare prepare the kind of pitch they did after going one down the last time we toured – a slab of earth with more cracks in it than Julius Malema’s sense of logic? And, finally, although I find those moments where politics and sports are forcibly mixed abominable, one can’t overestimate the blow Tahir’s inclusion in the test team will strike for anti-xenophobia in our country!

So, out of that slump kind sirs and madams! On your feet and chests proudly out, if you will. Now raise your fists high and clenched and repeat after me, Viva, Imran Tahir, Viva!

The Flat Belly Program

Janice | March 9, 2020March 17, 2020

Spring is just around the corner, which means Summer is just around the next corner. With Spring and Summer comes an increase in outdoor exercise, and an increase in people’s desire to lose weight in time for swimsuit season. If you are familiar with the Flat belly program then you should also try Coolsculpting methods that will help you to reduce stubborn fat on your arms and get in better shape. Moreover, you can join the Flat belly program as well in order to lose fat as quickly as possible.

It seems that The Flat Belly Program is the latest weight-loss trend, and It seems to be developing quite the following.

But what is it?

The Flat Belly Program is a weight loss program aimed at women. According to the program’s web site users can either subscribe to an online program or purchase a book. With the book, you get the program outlined and detailed with a plan to follow. However, the real selling point to me is the web site membership.

Much like other online diet programs, the Flat Belly Program outlines meal plans for users and allows them to print off a shopping list. This takes all of the guesswork and calculations out of meal preparation, which can often be a stumbling block for people trying to stick to a diet.

The program also offers a forum section for users to interact with each other, build relationships, support networks, and dieting partners to help motivate and encourage.

Online members can also use the online food tracker system. This portion of the web site acts like a food journal, online log, weigh-in station, and place to track daily nutritional information from user input. Offering an easy, ready to use the system for tracking calories and macronutrients take the calculations and confusing point conversions out of the daily weight loss efforts. It’s no secret that in order to lose weight nutritional information and calorie tracking are key.

Another feature of the online program is an expert section where users can ask questions and get feedback from dietary and fitness experts on the web site. A lot of times people have questions about the vague exercise and dietary terms often used in the fitness world. This can lead to discouragement and confusion. But, being able to ask questions in an open forum or through email can alleviate most of the confusion and let users focus on their goals instead of their questions.

The program also offers an additional optional workout program to help speed up efforts. One of the big things that the program touts is the ability to lose weight and flatten your belly without having to do any crunches. However, being physically active can help speed weight loss and give users faster results. A lot of times people become easily discouraged by not seeing results quickly enough.

The Flat Belly Program offers users a convenient place to get encouragement, help others, and help yourself with your weight loss and fitness goals.

Birthday Party Games for Children Who Are Slow Learners

Janice | March 9, 2020March 6, 2020

Every child loves a fun birthday party. Birthday parties usually include games. Slow learners are no exception. The slow learning children love birthday parties with games too. Sometimes it may be hard to find birthday party games for slow learning children. Here are a few suggestions to help include the slow learning children in the birthday party activities and suggestions for birthday party games for slow learners.

Regardless of the ages of the children at the party, you may be able to quickly figure out if a child is not able to play the same games as the other children. The slow learner will appear not to be able to follow directions and he or she will be the first one out of the games. The child may also appear to be friendless.

When planning the birthday party games, you may want to make sure you have at least one extremely easy game that a child that is a slow learner will like. You can make it a running game, or a directional game, or even use a craft as a game. Through the games, there can be conveying of Birthday Quotes for Son Turning into youngster. The son should be inspired through the quotes conveyed to them.

Birthday Party Games for “Slow Learners”

Red light, green light (Freeze game) – Red light, green light also known as the freeze game is usually easy for children. You may want to use the terms stop and go instead of red light, green light. The freeze game is also another version of the red light, green light game.

Piñata’s – Depending on the age of the children, you can either have them make piñata’s or you can have a big hanging piñata. Everyone love’s the anticipation of a breaking piñata, so even slow learning children will enjoy the craft or the waiting of breaking a big piñata.

Simon Says – Simon Says is a relatively easily game to explain to children. Depending on the ages and level the slow learner is at he or she would probably enjoy Simon Says.

Race – No matter what the age and level of learning most children will be able to run to a finish line. This will make the slow learner feel included and not “stick out”.

Team games – Any game that the slow learner can participate in as a team, will make the child feel included and everyone will be able to do something. The relay could just be a running or a walking race, carrying an egg on a spoon, putting water on a spoon and carrying it, or even charades.

The most important thing when having Birthday party games for slow learners is not to let the slow learner know the game is specifically for him or her or to let the other children know the game is for the slow learner.

It is important to include all the kids without letting them know what is going on or without them picking on the slow learner. Everyone should be able to have fun without feeling embarrassed or without getting harassed. Birthday party games are supposed to be fun so make it so anyone can play.

Leedon Green Condo- An Inexplicable Experience Of a Lifetime

Janice | March 2, 2020March 11, 2020

There are many things that you would want to achieve in life and it is impossible to get it all in one lifetime. While it is difficult to list out each one of them, it does not fail to arouse interest among experts in this regard.

Today’s children will never understand what all their parents and ancestors have gone through to reach the stature and position that they enjoy today because of lack of many skills and experience.

While this may seem a futile argument at first, it is still worth it if it opens up deaf ears and inspires them into action. There is nothing new to discuss in such topics but we still do so for the sake of it.

To live with intention you need to be forearmed and clear on where you want to go on in life because it is a complex layer that can’t be analyzed as it is so unpredictable to begin with.

Apartment Substitute

It is extremely difficult to own a house in the current times because the job market has gone from bad to worse due to overburdening population and nepotism being a constant factor in playing spoilsport to worthy candidates.

Condominium is the closest you can get to a house these days because they are quite spacious enough to take in two or more people depending on the area and the apartment.

Most people have not even heard of the term and confuse it to a room of an apartment but it is merely a substitute and a good one at that given that it does not confine anyone to a particular space.

To get a good condo is not an easy task as it has to follow certain norms so as to adjust many people together where two different rooms of an apartment are separated only by a wall.

Singapore Condo

To get a condo of the highest order is indeed a dream come true and therefore has to be researched thoroughly from a standpoint. There are many countries like US, UK, Canada, etc. that have some good condos but they are generally seen as expensive by most buyers and are therefore ruled out.

In addition, most of them are not of the highest quality so people don’t bother to include them in the list of countries that have the best condos. There is another country that is far ahead of the others in this regard.

It is Singapore that has the honor of having the best of the best when it comes to condominium of the highest order. Today, we are going to talk about the Leedon Green Condo model that has captured the fancy of many investors abroad, forcing them to put their hard earned money into this project.

It is a project created by MCS Land, which is one of the biggest developers in Singapore, perched high in Leedon Heights and has a newly developed Tulip Garden that contain lush green grass and flowers of varied hues and colors.

This project contains numerous facilities that include swimming pools, waterfalls, flora fountains and a lap of luxury that few could have seen or heard of. Also each unit of condo will have a separate bedroom to cater to the needs of different families during their stay.

Meetup.com: A Great Social Networking Site to meet new communities

Janice | February 28, 2020March 8, 2020

My husband recently accepted a position at a new company that was not within commuting distance from our home. This meant that we had to put our house on the market and look for a new home closer to his job site. In doing so, we would have to move to an area that neither of us was familiar with, and where we didn’t know more than a few people. I made a vow to myself that I was going to join some sort of Mom’s group. My son was 19 months old, old enough to get out there and meet other children his age, and I needed some Mom friends in my new area. When we did finally move into our new home, I looked up the local Mom’s group and found that they only accepted stay-at-home Mom’s. I am currently staying at home with my son, but before our move, I was working part-time in a job that I loved, and I plan on continuing that work here shortly. That left the local Mom’s group out. So what then?

That’s when chance happened. I was in Babies R Us helping my sister register for her baby shower when a Mom approached us and we began to talk. Through conversation, she learned that I was new to the area, and she told me about www.meetup.com. She said that there was a local Mom’s group that she took part in and that she loved. So, when I got home, I decided to look at the site. I found three Mom’s groups that fit my needs! I was so excited! After reading up on information on each of the groups, I made my decision and signed up. I have only been a member of this group for about two months now, but it has been absolutely wonderful. This group of Mom’s and children have made me feel incredibly welcome in my new hometown. I have made some great friends and we all share the same thing in common…our children!

Not only does meetup.com have Mom’s groups, they also have groups to bring people together that share other interests. From sewing, to scrapbooking, to theatre, to restaurants, to music, to sports, you just can’t go wrong. Don’t see your interest? Then you can make a meetup group of your own! Meetup.com begins on the internet, but it’s main purpose is to bring people with similar interests together in their community. Therefor, if you live in an extremely rural area, there may not be a meetup that pertains to your particular interests, but like I said, if it’s not there, then you can begin one of your very own. The name of Meetup.com just needs to be spread around. I had never heard of it before two months ago, and yet, it has been a crucial part of my welcoming committee to my new area.

I pay $10 a year to be a part of my meetup group. Some charge more, some less, some charge no money. It all depends on what your interests are and who the organizer of your meetup group is. The $10 a year goes towards Mom’s nights out for my particular group, such as pizza parties. $10 a year? To me that doesn’t seem like a lot at all! And a free meetup? Can’t beat that!

If you’re looking to meet other people in your area that share the same interests as you, then I would absolutely recommend you take a look at www.meetup.com. Hopefully you are able to find a match and are as happy in your meetup experiences as I have been. For meeting new people, Instagram will provide global platform to the person. A visit can be made at the lightninglikes for knowing the pros and cons of the instagram.

Get Cheaper Car Insurance by Improving Your Credit Scores

Janice | February 17, 2020March 5, 2020

While it seems unfair, people are penalized by car insurance companies for having weak or poor credit scores. It is a way that insurers have of determining who has the proper level of responsibility to be good drivers. Credit scores are not the only criteria involved in determining what you will pay for car insurance, but many companies will check the scores, and your premium size will reflect it if your credit is poor. You will need to take steps to improve your credit score to get those premiums lowered. Moreover, if you have ever been in an accident then it can be a little difficult for you to get a cheap car insurance policy. In such cases, it is recommended that you always hire an accident attorney Baltimore in order to avoid such issues as you buy any insurance policy. Since these lawyers are quite experienced in such matter you will probably get better results.

Pay off some of your debt.

Too much debt spread over too many credit cards will drive your credit scores down quickly. You have some choices about how to improve this situation. The most direct way is to just pay down the debt on the cards. This will open up more available credit and your scores will begin to rise. Unless you have significant cash reserves, this can be a slow route to improving your credit, but it will work. Of course, to reduce the debt, you have to stop creating more debt. This means learning to live without your credit cards for a while.

Pay off credit cards with a home equity loan.

Technically, this is just a trading debt for debt. However, secured debt is much better for your credit scores than in unsecured debt. If you can handle the payment for the equity loan, the quick reduction of credit card debt will cause a rapid jump in the numbers that reflect your credit score. This method does require that you own a house. Owning a house will usually improve credit scores and reduce insurance costs without reducing credit card debt. But, lowering the balances on your cards will raise your scores higher and faster, resulting in higher car insurance premiums.

Borrow money on your car to pay down credit card debt.

Most people who are struggling with bad credit already have a car that has a large loan. If you are one of those who has a decent car without a lien against it, you might consider borrowing a few thousand dollars on the value of your auto to pay off some very high-interest debt. Like an equity loan, a car loan is secured with collateral. This is considered a better form of debt than credit cards to credit bureaus. A car loan that reduces credit debt makes sense only if you quit using the credit card that you pay off.

Have a relative with good credit? Add your name to one or more of their cards.

While this will appear to increase the number of credit cards and be bad for your credit rating, the reality is that having unused credit available reduces the amount of available credit that has been used. More unused credit will generally improve your credit score. If you can lower your percent of used credit to the amount of available credit, it is a good thing for your credit score. Having only 30% of possible debt is a lot better than having used up 60%.

Personal Finance: How Much Money Is Enough In Retirement?

Janice | February 12, 2020February 28, 2020

Getting by is good enough for many people when they retire. Since many people retain good health into their seventies, the thought of continuing to work beyond the traditional retirement age is not a problem. Working beyond the age of retirement can also help people while they try to cut down expenses and lead a comfortable life.This one change can subtract a decade or more from the amount of time that must be provided for in retirement nest eggs. Variances in the duration and lifestyle of your retirement can make swings reaching tens of thousands of dollars in the amounts needed to retire.

Understand the difference between savings, investments, and income.

In retirement, three key components rule the roost. All three share equally in providing for your retirement financial needs. Investments are that portion of your retirement plan that should not be depleted unless you have no choice. Investments produce income and serve as a foundation to the other pieces of your financial picture.

A savings account provides you a buffer against emergency needs.

Unlike your investments, it will generally fluctuate up and down a bit. Income represents payments you receive regularly from sources like Social Security, company or government retirement plans, and investment interest and dividends. For the best results in retirement, you want your income to be extremely stable with the potential to increase enough to offset the effects of inflation.

You need to plan for the unexpected.

Establish a savings buffer large enough to absorb the shock of all but the most extreme emergencies. You need enough income to be able to rebuild this account when it is tapped for unexpected needs. This fund will prevent you from wiping out your investments and the income they produce when an emergency strikes. For most people, this account needs to be supplied with somewhere between $20,000 and $50,000 depending on your lifestyle and where you live.

Consider your health.

Unfortunately for some people, when they retire is dictated more by health than by age. You need to assess your health situation carefully as you approach your projected retirement age. If you have health issues that could quickly erode your assets, you consult a financial planner who can help you map a route to conserve assets while providing for your physical needs. With excellent health, you may be able to wait until after retirement to approach this issue. Either way, your good health or lack of it will influence how much money you need in retirement.

Will working beyond traditional retirement age lead to more ability to save?

Many people reach their peak earnings after age 50. If you are able to continue at a high earnings potential into your late sixties and early seventies, you may want to reduce the total assets available after you retire. These extra earnings give you the flexibility to allow your retirement investments to grow without adding to them. During this time, you can set up trusts and other accounts that can survive as an inheritance to your heirs. If your own retirement planning was started late and is under funded, you should be able to use this bonus money and time to catch up.

Where will you live?

Location is a critical consideration in retirement. Some parts of the country and world have relatively inexpensive costs of living. Others do not. You do not want to attempt to retire in southern California with the same money that you set aside for retiring in the rural Midwest. It will lead to quick destitution. You may need to double or triple retirement costs to compensate for such a move.

How well do you want to live?

Will you be the prince or the pauper when you retire? An income between $1,500 and $2,500 per month if your housing is paid for will give you a livable sum in lesser cost locales. You will need to add another thousand dollars or so if you want comfort and frequent travel in your old age.

Seek help for future cost-of-living estimates.

Your local banker or investment broker should have access to cost-of-living projections for the areas where you might want to live. They should also be able to provide a good estimate of the expected cost-of-living at the time of your retirement compared with today.

You can reduce excess funds by setting up trusts to transfer them to your heirs.

If you have significant excess funds in your retirement portfolio, consider doing some form of early gifting to your heirs. Pay attention to gift limits and time frames that apply to your area. If you do not have a broker easily available, feel free to ask your bank’s investment team to assist you in setting up tax friendly ways to pass your money along early. You have a great number of potential options to choose from. Experts in your state’s laws will give you the best advice on how to proceed.

Make sure the surviving spouse is able to survive financially.

Occasionally, people become so focused on taking care of their heirs that the people themselves are overlooked. Whether you or your spouse become the surviving spouse, you need to consider how this will change the financial picture for the survivor. Income may decrease if pensions go away. Inheritance laws and taxes may come knocking at the door. Appropriate paperwork and asset division can help avoid a wealth of problems. It also will guide how you set up certain portions of your assets for best results.

Total up your assets, income, and expenses every year.

Regular accounting of your financial progress is necessary. The amount needed for retirement can change from year to year as you approach that time. A financial review at least annually will give you the peace of mind that you need heading toward your senior years. It also allows you to make needed adjustments when they become apparent.

Establish a retirement budget to guide your financial preparation.

A retirement budget is the backbone of a good retirement plan. You need to know what you can spend on housing, utilities, healthcare, food, clothing, recreation, and other requirements. Any or all of these numbers can change every year. Adjust your retirement plan to compensate for projected changes to your budget.

If you can find a way to overcome both of these obstacles, it is likely that the aging process will not reverse the results of liposuction.

It mainly depends on you and how you choose to live your life. The most important thing is for you to be aware of the fact that liposuction is not always long-term before you choose to invest money into going through with the liposuction procedure.

Legend Of Zelda Walkthrough Chapter 6.2

Janice | January 26, 2020February 1, 2020

Of the first eight labyrinths in this game, Level Six may be the most difficult. Your biggest problem will be the Wizzrobes, who cast powerful spells that can only be blocked by the Magic Shield. The yellow ones aren’t too difficult – although they appear and disappear, they stay in one place when appearing and can be taken out with one hit from the Magic Sword. The blue ones are another matter. They are three times as strong as the yellow ones and can move around and through anything. Battling several of them can rally drain your hearts. If you need help to get past those Wizzrobes then you can take help from lol boosting, this way you can easily level up your character and get past those tough enemies in Legend of Zelda.

If you don’t have a key when you first enter Level Six, take the east door and get one from the Yellow Wizzrobes. Forget the door you see to the north, just use the key on the door west of the entrance. Get past the Wizzrobes in the next room and take the path north, defeating the Zols for the compass and the Kesses for a key.

Eventually, you’ll be trapped in a room with both Yellow and Blue Wizzrobes. Oh, yeah, did we mention the Bubble and Like Likes? Wizzrobes like to hang around them too since the invincible Bubbles make you temporarily unable to use your sword and Like Likes can eat your Magic Shield. Try to take out the faster moving Wizzrobes before finishing off the others, then push the left block to open the shutters.

Don’t take the north door in the next room – there’s a three-headed Gleeock there that’s more trouble than he’s worth. Instead, work your way around the Wizzrobes and bomb the east wall. Get the key in the next room and head north. Like Likes and Zols have the map in this room. Behind the north door, if you take out the Wizzrobes and push the left block, you will find the Magic Wand. You don’t have to get the Wand to finish the game, but it is a useful long-range weapon.

Head all the way south until you reach the room with shutters and Vires. Once you take out the Vires and go through the east door, you’ll face another group of Wizzrobes and Like Likes. Once you finish them, push the block to open the secret passage.

Otherwise, he may lose his eye before you can shoot again and you’ll need to dodge his shots while waiting for him to open the eye. At least it only takes one arrow to beat him, and then the Triforce is yours.

Keeping Safe: Traveling Tips for Seniors

Janice | January 26, 2020February 14, 2020

My Mom started my sister and I on traveling at an early age. She took us to many different countries during our childhood and teenage years. Now, both my sister and I are older and don’t travel as much, but my Mom is still very active with her traveling. In recent years she has traveled to China and even Russia with her friends. In preparing for those trips, she has taught me many great tips to staying safe. People of all ages, including seniors, need to make sure they are safe when they travel, so here are 10 great tips I have learned from her over the years.

First, you want to know where you are going. Prior to leaving for her trip, my Mom studies the country she is going to be visiting. I asked her one day, before her trip to China, why she did that. She said she wanted to know not only the history of the country, but also local customs and traditions. Know your area before you get there. This way, in case you get lost, you are more familiar with the area.

It is better for some of the younger folks to accompany their elders if the duration of the trip is far too long because it is difficult for them to manage everything on their own and I plan to do the same with mom from now onwards as she is getting on with age. There are many such people in my family and if anyone is interested, they can come join the Lewiston Senior Citizens on our fun and new trips that I am sponsoring.

Another great tip that goes along with reading about the country you are visiting, is learning about the country’s language or languages. The more you learn prior to visiting your destination, the safer you will be. For example, learning the difference between men and women’s restrooms will save you a lot of embarrassment. The more prepared you are prior to your visit the smoother it should go.

Traveling with a group is the safest way to travel. Check with your local senior center or travel agency for senior groups traveling to your destination of interest. Sometimes they will even have better rates, too. Staying with a large group makes it harder to get lost, and most important, if you have a health emergency, there are plenty of people there to help you.

If you are not comfortable going with a large group, it is always safer to have at least one friend go with you. My Mom had her best friend go with her to Paris, and they had a lot of fun. Since it was just the two of them, we were all worried about them, but not as much as if either had gone alone. They both kept tabs on each other and kept each other safe. Never travel alone.

If you take medications, make sure you keep them in their original prescription bottle. You will be stopped at customs if you have random pills in your luggage. It is always best to have a written list of all of your medications, doses and dose schedule just in case you have an unexpected visit to an emergency room. This way, the doctors know exactly what you are taking to prevent any drug interactions.

Another great tip for seniors when they travel is to print out multiple itineraries and give them to all family members. If possible, have the phone numbers to the hotels you will be staying at. If you are traveling with a senior group, have the contact information for the companies they are with or travel agency just in case an emergency happens while you are gone.

Before traveling overseas, make an appointment get a complete check up with your doctor. If you have a heart condition, food allergies or any other condition, make sure you get approval from your doctor before you fly or travel. You do not want a simple vacation trip to turn into a medical emergency.

If you have a special diet, diabetics for example, call ahead to your airline to make sure they have special meals and to reserve them for your seat number.

One item that is easily forgotten is insurance. Plan a call to your agent and ask what is covered when you travel. You will want to make sure you are covered if your luggage is lost and, most importantly, that you will have liability insurance in case something happens. You do not want your life savings taken away from you because you had an unfortunate incident happen on vacation.

Never carry cash. Travelers Cheques are the best way to spend money while on vacation. Unlike cash, if your Travelers Cheques are stolen, they can be replaced.

My last tip is to always carry some sort of food in your purse or bag when you travel. Traveling to a foreign country, or even two states over, you will always want to carry a little snack in your bag just in case something happens. If you are on a plane, you can always ask the stewardess for a package of peanuts or pretzels, but what if you are out on a hike, or car ride out in the middle of nowhere and you feel woozy? My Grandmother always carried a sugar cube in her purse just in case her blood sugar started to drop and nothing was in the area. This is excellent advice for anyone.

Are you confused about selecting a product over botox and Juvederm? Let us find out which one is best

Janice | January 25, 2020February 12, 2020

Are you having wrinkles or fine lines on your face? If yes, then you need to pay attention to them as soon as you can because they can ruin your whole beauty. If you are a beauty concern, then there are some products like botox and Juvederm which are specialized in the healing face. Your skin on the face will start growing young. A face is responsible for maintaining self-image and the outer beauty of a person, but on the other hand, you need to maintain that beauty. If you are confused about the above two products, then you should try out the botox one. New Jersey patients love their BOTOX results, and so will you be going to. There are many medications you can go for, as those will not be as beneficial as these two injectors. Numerous creams are there in the market you can go for, but the results you will get from them will not be promising.

Botox and Juvederm are two different treatments with different abilities. On the basis of those abilities, we would come to know about the product that is best for the skin. Their strength and long-lasting effects also matter a lot.

What are the main key factors to keep in mind while selecting?

There are many people out there who are confused between the two products. If you are one of them, then your confusion will be going to fade away in seconds. You just need to keep the key factors in mind that we are going to be discussed now. Here are some of them-

Different ways- If you use botox, then you come to know that it soothes the muscles causing wrinkles on the face. It makes the muscles relaxed on the face so that so that wrinkles can get fade away easily. It also takes care of the future occurring so that you won’t get any wrinkles in the future easily. In Juvederm, there is another process as it fills up the wrinkles and the lines with naturally occurring acid. Our face produces natural sugar, and Juvederm uses that to fill up those gaps.
Kinds of wrinkles- There are many kinds of wrinkles that can be occurred on your face. Some wrinkles visible during the resting of the face and some occur during the movement of the face. Now we have to find out which treatment will work on which wrinkle. If we talk about botox, then it works on those wrinkles which occur while resting. Juvederm works on those wrinkles that occur during motion. Now it is up to your needs and demands.
Time took- There are two types of people in the world one those who can wait for their own good and second those who cannot. Your product will depend on the person you are. If you are both of them, then you can select any of the products because they both are fast. You will get to notice the results as soon as you get the treatment done. It will take a couple of days, but you will get to view the results on your face.
Results- You should know that the results of both the treatment are not permanent. You cannot get permanent results from any of the products in the market or in the world. The time period can be more or less as it varies on the products. If you go for botox, then the result can last from 3 months to about 12 months as it will depend on the caring. On the other hand, in Juvederm results are based on the acid that is produced by your skin.
Pain- If you are worried about pain, then in both treatments, you will be going to experience very little pain because of the needles. The needles that are to be used in the treatment are so small that your face will barely be going to feel those. So if you want to change the product because of the pain, then there is no need to.
Price- This is the essential concept that most of the people considered a lot; that is the price. Botox price is way less as compared to Juvederm. Botox can be bought in 10-30 penny per unit, while Juvederm can be bought for hundreds of pennies. They both are almost the same in nature but different in abilities. Now it is depend on the need and type of skin on your face.

Thus, these are the things that you should keep in mind so that you can get to select the perfect product for your skin.

In a nutshell, it is concluded that once you start noticing wrinkles on your face, you can immediately contact the expert for the products so that you can get it healed sooner.

My 3 Personal Tips for Beating Back Pain

Janice | January 25, 2020February 12, 2020

Most people at some point in their lives will experience back pain. Whether it is chronic back pain or simply a stiff back, the results are often debilitating and can leave you feeling miserable. I suffered from a sore lower back for over 3 months, after being pregnant with my twins and was advised to ‘rest’ and just wait for it to get better. The longer I lay around, the more useless I felt and my condition didn’t seem to improve. I then decided to focus on getting back to my daily routine and slowly but surely that is what I did.

Before acting on any of my advice, please make sure you consult a qualified medical practitioner as you could end up aggravating your back problems, particularly if you have a spinal injury. With that said, here are my 3 top tips for turning your back on back pain and getting on with your life. I got to know about these from some of the experienced people in the Division of Scoliosis and Spine Surgery who devised these measures for well being.

Walking:

It might sound simple, but walking is an extremely effective way of reconditioning your back into getting used to everyday activity. Put on a comfortable pair of sneakers and go for a slow walk around the block. Try to do this regularly and make sure to keep good posture at all times. Keep your back straight, your shoulders square and swing your arms gently at your sides as you walk.

Household Chores:

You might have a sore back but the daily household chores still need to get done. As long as you avoid any heavy lifting or sudden movements, daily household chores are an excellent way to slowly ease yourself back into your everyday routine. Just take it slowly and keep a good posture. Sweeping, emptying the dishwasher, hanging out the laundry… these are all great low-impact activities that should help to ease off stiffness and pains, while allowing your back to adjust itself to moving properly.

Swimming:

I found swimming one of the most effective ways to combat my back pain, as I could take it as slowly as I liked, from gently paddling in shallow water, to eventually swimming in breast stroke. The water acts as a support for your body, so you can practice moving into positions that may be uncomfortable ordinarily due to your back pain. I wouldn’t recommend swimming in icy cold water, as it will cause your muscles to stiffen, so try to go to your local indoor swimming pool where the water will be suitably warm.

While I believe that the key to beating back pain is to remain as active as possible, I cannot stress enough how important it is to not overstretch yourself. Take it slowly, little by little and with a good posture at all times! Always be aware of your back and any stress you’re putting it under. Follow my advice with caution, only after having consulted your doctor. I wish you all the best in turning your back on back pain and reclaiming an active and happy life.

Whether you are paying your medical insurance premium or you are having the medical debt, all come under medical finance. There are different types of medical insurance plans. Depending upon your lifestyle you can choose among them.

There are PPOs and HMOs as option. Preferred Provider Organization commonly called as PPO is an organization of medical experts and hospital that have tie-ups with the insurance providing agency to provide the health services to the client of such agency at reduced rates. The insurer thus gets the benefit of quality medical care at very low rates. Taking care of your finance is just like having errors and omissions insurance. Basically, errors and omissions insurance is necessary to prevent professional liability for film.

Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) gives the insurer the benefits of primary care when the need for the basic care arises. If you are thinking of joining the HMO you should first consider the type of medical requirements that may arise in future. Then check whether the HMO you are approaching is giving all the facilities you are looking for. Also consider the quality of service the HMO is giving. Find out whether you can consult your physician that you are regularly consulting or you have to don’t have the privilege of using services other than the HMO.

There are also indemnity medical plans in which you can invest and use the money to pay bills of your consultant. In this you can take the service of any physician or consultant you like. The insurer reimburses your medical bill but for that you have to pay yearly to the insurer a fixed amount which is called as deductable.

If you are a graduate or switching your job or are with good health then you can also take short term insurance cover. This provides insurance cover for sudden illness or accident conditions. Some short term insurance plan can also be extended to provide medical cover to dependant. This insurance is very cheap as compared to other insurance plans. Anyone can afford it but the nature is nonrenewable. There is High deductable health insurance as well which are gaining preference due to rising medical treatment costs.

If you are in the condition of medical crisis then you can apply for personal loans. Loans are of unsecured and secured type. They differ on the basis of interest rates. If you have the property which you can keep as collateral then apply for secured loan. Also look out for fixed interest or variable interest rate option. Choose the loan that best suits your requirement and financial conditions. There are charitable agencies and churches or community groups giving financial aid. Contact them under crisis. The state also administer medical aid program for the low income groups. Contact them and find out what they are providing. But the best thing is to avoid such crisis by saving for such unforeseen circumstances.

25 Questions You Should Ask Your Plastic Surgeon

Janice | January 23, 2020February 14, 2020

Cosmetic surgery is becoming increasingly popular and, in many cases, more accessible and affordable. This has its ups and downs. One the one hand, elective plastic surgery is no longer the exclusive privilege of the rich and famous. On the other hand, its booming popularity often causes people to lose sight of the fact that it is still major surgery, with all the risks that entails. Too many people enter into this without having done their research on the procedure or the surgeon. This is a risky gamble. As an educator who prepares people for careers in health care, I can tell you that even some of my students and colleagues (who should know better) are often guilty of rushing into such procedures without getting all the facts first. They are wowed by the before and after pictures which typically only show the surgeon’s best (hot his or her average) work. Luckily, there have been no major problems (yet), but there are enough horror stories out there that one should pause to ask questions and do some serious thinking before making the final decision.

There are certain questions that every patient should ask of his or her plastic surgeon – questions that should, indeed, be asked of any surgeon. If the answer to any of these questions is not satisfactory, you should postpone the procedure until you find a surgeon who is a better fit for you and your needs. Here is a list of questions that I would ask and advise my loved ones to ask. The list may seem rather long, but if someone is going to be cutting into your body, you have every right to ask them and to expect that they be answered fully and candidly by any prospective surgeon.

Are you board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS)? Note: The certifying organization will vary from country to country.
How long have you been a plastic surgeon?The longer, the better.
How many times have you performed this procedure? How many times per year? You want an experienced surgeon.
What are the potential complications, side effects, and risks of this procedure?
What is your complication rate with this specific procedure?
What procedures do you perform most often? Note: If your procedure doesn’t rank among the surgeon’s top three or four, find another surgeon!
What is your specialty? Have you had any training or done any fellowships beyond board certification? Ideally, your surgeon’s specialty will be the procedure you are looking to have done.
How many revisions of your own work do you perform in a typical year?The fewer, the better.
If the results are not satisfactory to me, what is your policy on revisions?
Where will the surgery be performed?
Do you have hospital privileges to perform this surgery?Where?Would it be better for me to have the procedure done in a hospital? Hospital privileges are only offered to highly skilled, highly trained physicians.
Have you ever been disciplined by the AMA, the ABPS, or the state? Obviously, the answer should be, “No.”
Do you use a board-certified anesthesiologist or a nurse-anesthetist? If the latter, what are his or her qualifications and experience?
What type of anesthesia will be used for my surgery?
When are you required to take your recertification exam? If not required, when do you plan to electively take it?
Are there any factors that might make me a poor candidate for this procedure? Disreputable surgeons will gloss over these.
How many repeat patients and referrals do you get in an average year? You want a surgeon whose patients are happy.
What medications will I be given, and how will you manage post-operative pain?
How extensive will the scarring be? Where will the scars be located?
How long should I plan to take off from work, school, etc.?
When can I expect the swelling and bruising to subside? How long will it be before I look “normal” again?
What effects will my medications, dietary supplements, and so on, have upon my surgery, anesthesia, or recovery?
If I have a post-op emergency, what should I do? Will you be the attending physician in the event of an emergency?
How long can I expect the results to last? No cosmetic surgery lasts forever.
Can I see before and after photos of patients on whom you have performed the same procedure? After getting the Michigan Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery that stimulates the skin and make it more softer. Can I see before and after photos of patients who were dissatisfied with the results? An honest and ethical physician will show you the latter as well as the former.

If your plastic surgeon can give good answers to all of these questions, then you are probably in very good hands. Still, you must guard against unrealistic expectations. If you are Quasimodo, the best surgeon in the world cannot transform you into Brad Pitt!

Big Reasons To Take Fast Loss Supplements today

Janice | January 22, 2020February 14, 2020

Reasons to Try a Fat Loss Supplement

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight or even know someone who has, you are aware of the endless supply of fat loss supplements that exist on the market today. Although many supplements are scams or have been removed because of health complications from ingredients such as ephedra, there are several that can boost your fat-burning potential and accelerate weight loss goals.

They also work well with other fat loss treatments today such as coolsculpting. I did CoolSculpting in my arms and this has changed my life, then I take supplement to keep fats away. That’s together with coming up with suitable diet plans and exercise routines.

Many fat loss supplements boost your metabolism, causing you to burn more calories throughout the day. Of course exercise also burns calories and should be part of any weight loss plan. In particular, weight lifting is very beneficial because it builds muscle and the more muscle you have, the more fat you will burn daily. Yet if you already exercise it is hard to burn an additional amount of calories without restricting up to 500 calories per day or increasing the amount of aerobic exercise each week. A supplement can be a perfect aid to burn more calories whether for a frustrated dieter or a frequent exerciser that is dropping the last few pounds.

A variety of supplements offer a money-back guarantee. If ordering through a company’s customer service, you can usually take advantage of the money back guarantee offered. Thus, if the product is unable to work for you, you can usually return it for a full refund. Even some popular vitamin and nutrition stores offer a full refund within thirty days with a receipt. Check with the conditions of the guarantee, as some require you to return the product within a certain time period or to send back the bottle with some pills remaining. Also, if you do return a product, ask how long it will take to debit back to your card or account, which sometimes can take up to two weeks.

Proven herbs give your body the edge it needs to fully utilize metabolizing capabilities. In other words, some vitamins such as Vitamin C, or herbs such as green tea, have been shown to burn more calories. Several supplements have a combination of these key ingredients that will give your body the nutrition and acceleration needed to reach your fat loss goals.

Although there are some side effects from using fat loss supplements, they vary with each individual. With new research continuing daily, there is a wealth of information about the ingredients that help you burn fat but are still safe. Many supplements don’t cause the jittery, nauseous feeling that can come from the high caffeine level from some products. It is common, however, to have an elevated body temperature when using fat loss supplements. After trying many varieties, it is recommended to follow the directions for optimal results. Using a once a day pill is often easier for most people. However, a good tip is to eat first rather than taking the supplement on an empty stomach if you feel very strong and unpleasant side effects such as dizziness and nausea.

Overall, many supplements work with little to no side effects. Some products, like Akavar, have a money back guarantee and an already proven success rate in other countries. However, when researching what to take, remember that a fat loss supplement can help you achieve your goals quicker if taken properly.

Foot Pain Without An Obvious Foot Disorder

Janice | January 22, 2020February 16, 2020

As a woman who is rarely on her feet, I was surprised when I began to experience foot pain especially when I went out to dinner or met clients. Because my shoes are often designer dress shoes, I found that my feet would cause me an unusual level of pain after several hours of being out on my feet.

In an effort to resolve my foot pain, I began to do research on the underlying causes of foot pain and found that, even without apparent food disorders, my foot pain was quite normal when considering the type of shoe I was wearing and the shape and age of my feet.

In discussing my foot pain with an orthopedist, I learned that my largest area of concern was the time of day that I purchase shoes. Moreover, since I had to visit the doctor too many times for my problems I took a massive hit to m monthly budget. This is where the podiatry bill helped me a lot. Podiatry billing requires extensive knowledge and experience which is why you should always get it from someone experienced.

Surprisingly, as I have aged, my feet have become more apt to swell in the evenings. As a result, when I purchase shoes early in the day, believing I have selected the right size, I may actually be purchasing a shoe that too small to wear in the evening after my feet have become slightly swollen. At my doctor’s direction, my first goal was to begin buying shoes in the evening.

I also learned that when I am out in the evening, dancing, my shoes may impact the swelling, and potential damage, to the Achilles tendon. This, after many years of repeated activity, can lead to the development of Achilles tendonitis. While it may be difficult to completely avoid dancing and moving about quickly in the evening, especially when living in a large city, my doctor suggested that I stretch my legs before I head out in the evening and use an anti-inflammatory and ice packs to my calves after coming home.

While I do not suffer from bunions, hammertoes, corns or neuromas, I am at risk for developing these complications if I do not begin to prevent and control the pain I have now. In addition to purchasing good quality shoes, I must also maintain a healthy weight so as to not place additional pressure upon my knees, back, and feet. Because fallen arches are commonly attributed to weight gain, my weight must be well maintained. In addition, regular pedicures will reduce the risk of ingrown toenails, another common and painful foot complication suffered by many women.

As with any foot disorder, the key to your optimal health will lie in the early detection and treatment by a trained healthcare professional, such as an orthopedic specialist. As a foot pain sufferer, when you do not see the presence of any obvious foot disorders, consider the foot complication related to the poor timing of your shoe purchase coupled with abnormally fast activity while in shoes and any adjustments your weight may have on your balance and mobility. Adjusting for these three factors, you may be able to alleviate and remedy your own foot pain and resolve, or prevent other complications from arising.

Causes Of Spinal Stenosis

Janice | January 21, 2020February 20, 2020

You might not recognize it as a spinal problem at first. Spinal stenosis can occur in your upper or lower back but can cause cramping, pain or numbness elsewhere. The most common sites beyond the back are your neck, legs, shoulders, and arms.

This condition can also cause symptoms like a loss of sensation in your extremities and, in some patients, can interfere with bladder or bowel function, according to the Mayo Clinic. For a reliable and long lasting treatment of your spinal problems, there is Spinal Surgery in New Jersey with best spinal and orthopedic doctors. You get affordable medical services that are really effective with spine problems.

In order to understand what causes this condition and how it develops, a basic understanding of the anatomy of the human spine is helpful.

Parts of the Spine

Vertebrae. Your spine has 24 of them stacked on top of each other. It also had a sacrum and a tailbone. Adults usually have seven neck – or cervical – vertebra. Twelve vertebrae are located at the back wall of your chest and are called thoracic vertebrae. The lumbar vertebrae are found at the inward curve of your lower back. Five fused vertebrae between the hip bones form the sacrum. Your tailbone is actually three to five fused bones located at the tip of your spine.

Ligaments. They’re tough bands of elastic tissue whose mission is to keep your vertebrae in place whenever you move.

Intervertebral disks. They separate your vertebrae and consist of elastic pads of cartilage. As a result, your spine is flexible. These disks function like shock absorbers for your vertebrae during motion. Each one has a center like jelly surrounded by a ring of fibrous tissue.

Facet joints. They’re found on the sides as well as the top and bottom of the vertebrae. They connect one vertebra to another and stabilize your spine while still keeping it somewhat flexible. These joints slide smoothly because they’re coated with a lubricant.

Spinal canal. It’s a channel through which the spinal cord passes in your spine. Various degenerative changes can make it too narrow for comfort.

Spinal cord. It’s actually a long bundle of nerves stretching from the brainstem at the bottom of your skull to your second lumbar vertebra, which is located in your lower back. Where the cord ends, another set of nerves called the cauda equine heads down the spinal canal. The nerves inside your spinal cord carry impulses between your brain and the rest of your body. There are 31 pairs of spinal nerves in your back and neck.

How stenosis develops

Doctors recognize two types of stenosis. Primary spinal stenosis is already present at birth. Most people have the other kind, acquired spinal stenosis, which sets in during the aging process.

The primary cause of degeneration in your spine is osteoarthritis. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones in your joints starts to break down, and its smooth surface turns rough. Eventually, you might experience the painful situation of having bone rubbing on bone. Your body sometimes compensates for this by growing bone spurs on the facet joints, which causes the narrowing of the spine.

Some of the other ways spinal stenosis develops include:

Herniated disks. Wear and tear can cause the tough covering of a disk to tear. The jelly-like material in the center can seep out. The disk then presses on the surrounding nerves.

Ligament changes. Over time, back ligaments can degenerate and become thick and stiff. This shortens the spine, narrows the spinal canal and compresses nerve roots. Sometimes one lumbar vertebra slips over another after wear and tear on discs and ligaments. The result is a compression of your spinal nerves and possible numbness, tingling, and weakness in your legs.

Spinal tumors. Tumors can occur inside your spinal cord, in the membranes covering it or in the space between the cord and a vertebra. They can also metastasize to the spinal area from other regions of the body. Tumors sometimes compress the spinal cord and nerve roots, causing pain in limbs and even paralysis. They can also affect the function of your bladder or bowels.

Injury. If an injury dislocates the spine or spinal canal, you will experience pressure on the cord and lower motor neurons. Bone fragments and tissue swelling following back surgery can also exert pressure.

Paget’s disease. This condition causes your body to make the new bone more quickly than normal. The resulting bones are soft, weak and sometimes deformed or too large. When this occurs in your spine, the bones can compress the spinal cord or the nerves leaving your brain or spinal cord. The resulting pain can be severe.

Achondroplasia. It’s a genetic disorder that slows bone formation during fetal development and early childhood. In addition to short stature, individuals with this condition have a narrow spinal canal, which exerts pressure on their spinal cords.

While stiffness is normal during the aging process, the discomfort that interferes with your mobility isn’t. If you experience pain, stiffness, numbness or weakness in your back, neck, shoulders or legs that you can’t trace to overexertion, seek medical advice.

How Student Loans Affect The American Dream

Janice | January 20, 2020February 17, 2020

From an early age, it was expected I would go to college. I showed an aptitude for technical drawing, proved an incredible talent for spacial conception, and had the analytic as well as artistic mind not seen by many. It was decided I would be an architect. That is the direction I was pushed in from age 8. When I achieved college age, I was already an accomplished draftsman and artist, had excelled in academics, and ranked high in all advanced placements. I was easily accepted to all of the schools on my list.

I had a general idea of what my parents could afford, but no true concept of the cost of education. What was the difference between $12,000 and $24,000? I didn’t care.. All I saw was my life laid out ahead of me: a prestigious career, a beautiful home and family, travel, and little concern for finances. College would get me there, and my abilities meant that it didn’t matter how much it would cost; it would be worth it, and don’t have to get payday loans while living.

I was given a full ride at an in state school for four years of a six-year program, but I was also awarded a hefty scholarship at one of the best private art schools in the world. The scholarship would pay just about everything but my supplies, room and board for four years of a five-year program. Being told that a degree from said school would get me anywhere I wanted to be, I chose the private institution.

In the first four years, tuition rose with each passing semester. My scholarship did not. At the beginning of my super-senior year, I already owed about $40,000 just from the fraction of tuition I’d paid in the previous four years and all the accompanying costs of school. But at this point I knew the scholarship had run out and there was still another year to go before my goal. I sat down with a financial aid officer who said to me, “Figure out how much you think you will need for the year; tuition, supplies, room, and board … and we’ll double that amount, because that is what you’ll really need…” (To this day, I am convinced she told me this because she got a hefty kick-back from the loan institution.)

Being naive about all things financial in my early 20s, I listened to this woman and took out a private co-signed loan with my parents for twice as much as I needed. And yes, it really was twice as much. I joined a travel program and spent a semester in Europe because I had so much extra cash. No one ever gave it a second thought, because we all truly believed that my degree would get me anywhere I wanted, and the experiences I could slip under my belt would be just as valuable.

By the end of that last semester, I had burnt myself out. After graduation, I decided to take a brake from the design world. I moved back to my home town and got a place with some friends, found a decent bartending job, and enjoyed myself for a summer, while my loan payments were still in grace. I figured I could take some time to collect myself and then continue pursuing my career. This was in 2006.

The next year, when the housing market crashed, I quickly realized I was in trouble. No one was building. No one was designing, especially not in my already impoverished area of the country. I couldn’t afford to move away for work, and I couldn’t find work in my field aside from an unpaid internship. Suddenly, the entire life I had built was unobtainable, and I had over $70,000 in student loan debt looming over my head.

As a last ditch effort, I signed up for a Computer Drafting course at a local community college. The kicker was their “96 percent job placement rate.” Another $10,000 in debt and I found myself in the first year of the 16-year program that the job placement rate dropped to about 10 percent. I wasn’t one of that 10 percent.

In time, I found myself a semi-decent job that I do enjoy, but it doesn’t pay as well as it should. It is a job, not a career. I use some of my skills, but not enough to keep me excited. By this point, I am too far gone from the education process to get back into my field. With no on-the-job experience, I may as well not have gotten the education in the first place. I am 32 and living in my childhood home off the generosity of my parents. What would otherwise be going toward rent is sucked up in loan payments every month (about $650 worth).

I dish out more than my monthly payment when I can afford it, but at this rate I will still be paying for another 25-30 years. I won’t be free of this anchor until I am almost 60 years old. With that realization, the hopes and dreams have all but disappeared. I will never own a house. I can’t afford to travel. I worry about my finances on a daily basis. I can’t even meet someone to start a family with because I am so consumed by this job that doesn’t pay me enough.

The pursuit of my American Dream has caused me to lose any prospect of achieving it. When I think back, I still do value my education. I relish the memory of all the things I’ve done and appreciate the lessons I learned. Would I do it the same way? Nope. Not knowing what I know now. I would have gone to the state school perhaps, aimed a little lower in my expectations. A sad thought, but true. We are all told we can achieve greatness, that the world is our oyster and our dreams are obtainable. That just isn’t the case anymore. We are not great. The world is a clam, sealed shut and those dreams will never be anything more than just that. Dreams.

Mother-Daughter Duo Delivers Care in Guatemala

Janice | January 20, 2020February 17, 2020

Recently, Julie Niezgoda, MD, returned with her daughter, Sara, from their third mission trip together to Guatemala, where they provide free medical services to adults and children. Each time, they are reminded of the ways in which we can impact the lives of people throughout the world, and of what we take for granted medically in the United States.

Malnourishment, untreated medical conditions

This is indeed a noble cause where doctors are working for the benefit of mankind without any expected selfish motives of personal gain or simply profiting off the ailments of their patients. We truly need more people like this mother-daughter combo in our society, especially in the medical profession, where we find innumerable patients dying everyday not only from fatal maladies but diseases that are found to be appallingly preventable. This can truly be considered a medical marketing best practices session where other doctors can learn something for humanitarian causes.

Over time, Dr. Niezgoda, a pediatric anesthesiologist, and Sara, a fourth-year medical student, have developed an understanding for the Guatemalan culture, and this allows them to better care for their patients. For example, Guatemalan families distribute food according to a hierarchy, with the mother being served last, and because of this, many mothers tend to be malnourished during pregnancy, causing problems for their unborn babies. So when they aren’t in the operating room, Dr. Niezgoda and Sara try to educate women on the importance of eating healthfully during pregnancy.

Also, because medical care is not readily available to most Guatemalans, problems that should’ve been treated during infancy require multiple, more complex procedures. As a result, Dr. Ross, who performs these procedures, as well as other team members, develop ongoing relationships with some of their patients in Guatemala.

A special blend of innovation and quality

For U.S. physicians, it requires some creativity to practice overseas. This is because in third-world countries, such as Guatemala, medical care might be provided in clinics with dirt floors, a single room for patient beds and operating rooms the size of a small office. Dr. Niezgoda, in some cases, has fashioned medical equipment from supplies such as tubing and tape. “It’s sort of like working with Legos,” she says.

But even in a clinic where surgical masks, intubation tubes and gloves are washed and reused, quality is a top priority. “We have a very high standard, and we would never do anything there that we wouldn’t do in the United States,” says Dr. Niezgoda. “We don’t have the backup, so we have to be especially careful.”

Nothing better than a heartfelt thank-you

Though Dr. Niezgoda and Sara agree that it is more difficult to practice medicine in Guatemala than back home, the payoff makes it worth the effort. “The families are so grateful for everything,” says Sara. And although conditions in the healthcare clinics aren’t ideal, complaints are rare. “There will be a line a city block long outside the door,” says Dr. Niezgoda. “These people will wait and wait, and you’ll never hear them say a word about it.”

Guatemalan staff are equally devoted, working 60 to 70 hours a week and earning $200-250 per month, says Dr. Niezgoda. “They are so proud of their work and accomplishments, and they are always striving to improve.” And this, she adds, is one of the greatest accomplishments of medical missions – “to help others acquire the expertise to deliver medical care.”

An Ultimate Guide To Clean The Rugs And Carpets Efficiently!

Janice | January 2, 2020February 12, 2020

Nowadays, people put a lot of effort into enhancing the look and appearance of their house and select every minor thing for their house carefully. There are various things used by people in their homes to make it look more attractive, and one of the most popular of them is carpets and rugs. Carpets are kind of covering for the flooring in the house and serve various purposes. Carpets and rugs not only enhance the look of the home but also increase the quality of air and offer great comfort to the family members.

It is irrefutable that carpets and rugs are immensely popular as it gives the house a unique and highly appealing look, but it also has a drawback as they are quite challenging to maintain and clean. If you are fond of poufs, then you can shop for leather pouf on various online shopping sites as they offer leather poufs at a highly affordable price. Most of the people who have rugs and carpets in their houses face a lot of problems in cleaning them because carpets absorb all the dust and pollutants, which makes them dirty and smell awful. There are some tips that can make the task of carpet cleaning simple and easy for you.

Most amazing tips for cleaning carpets and rugs

Avoid rubbing the stains

It is quite common that carpets and rugs get stains from different things. It is quite challenging to remove the stains from the carpet as there is a specific technique to do it. The technique that should be used to clean stains on the carpets is blotting. Bloating refers to slowly dabbing on the stains with any cloth soaked in an excellent cleaning solution. You need to put some pressure on the cloth on the stain so that all the solutions get into the stain. Rubbing is never recommended as it can damage the fibers of the carpet and lowers its quality. One thing that you should remember is you should always blot the stain in the inward direction as outwards will make the stain spread.

Make use of shaving cream

It might sound awkward, but shaving cream is quite effective in removing the stain from carpets. Shaving cream can easily remove most of the stains, and it is also not much expensive. You only need to apply shaving foam to the stain and leave it as it is for around half an hour. Once it is dry and absorbed by the stain, take a dry cloth and blot on that area. In the end, you need to spray a solution mix of vinegar and water and then wipe it away. The stain will most probably be removed.

Steps to clean the rugs properly

Vacuum first

The first step to clean the rug must be vacuuming the rug and removing all the debris, hairs, dirt, dust, and other unwanted material. To begin the process of cleaning the rug, it must be vacuumed entirely, and all the dirt is removed from the deep corners of the rug.

Mix the cleaning solution

You must buy a good and trusted cleaning solution for the rug and mix it properly. Every solution is different, so it will be better if you follow the instructions on the bottle carefully and mix it according to it. If you don’t have a cleaning solution, then you can also use basic detergent powder and mix it in lukewarm water. You must remember that you should avoid using water with high temperature as too hot water can damage the rug and make the color fade.

Check and wash the rug with the solution

Before starting cleaning the rug with the solution, you must check it on a small part to ensure that the solution doesn’t make the color run. You shall continue only if it is safe to use, and once you are confirmed, you can start washing the rug with the solution. You must use a sponge to wash the rug and to do it; you must first cover the carpet with the solution by using the sponge and leave it for some time to let the rug absorb all the solution. Once it has absorbed it, you may rinse it with clean water.

Stretches to Relieve Lower Back Pain – What I Do

Janice | December 26, 2019December 22, 2019

I’ve got a herniated disk in my lower back. I’ve found that when I stretch, not only is the pain almost nil, I feel overall better in general. And no matter what, every so often my back goes out on me. When I’m stretching, the pain is less, and lasts less days as well. So, on to the stretches that I HAVE USED that have helped me reduce my lower back pain. This is the order that I do them, simply because I have found it easiest and most convenient.

Now, I admit, I don’t stretch as much as I should. I mean, it only takes about 15 minutes for my own full routine, but hey, life gets in the way. I do what I can, when I can. I prefer to stretch in the evening, but some people can’t start their day without stretching first, so do what you prefer.

I focus on my glutes/hips (butt muscles), quads (front of thigh muscles), and hamstrings (back of upper legs). I’d be willing to bet that if folks just stretched, even for 5 minutes a day, their discomfort levels will be reduced significantly. All you need is a carpet (if you don’t have carpeted floors, you might need to purchase a stretching/yoga mat…get the cheapest one you can find!!), and maybe a belt or jump rope (not needed, but helpful).

With all these exercises, I hold the position for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs. That’s my preferred way to stretch.

Remember, talk with your doctor first before trying this stuff…

GLUTE STRETCHES (lying on your back):

– Single Leg Knee to chest.

On your back, bring your right knee to your right armpit, holding your leg at the shin. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch to the left leg. Do this 2-3 times per leg.

– Single-Leg Knee across body.

Put your right knee perpendicular to your body, foot/lower leg relaxed. Place your left hand on the OUTSIDE of the right knee, and gently push it down, across your hip. I prefer to keep both of my butt-cheeks (sorry!!, that’s not the technical term!!) on the ground, as it limits the stretch to the glute only. I don’t want to twist my lower back here. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch to the left leg. Do this 2-3 times per leg.

– Cross-legged Glute stretch.

Put both your knees up, feet on the ground. Put the right ankle on your left thigh. Reach through that ‘hole’ and grab your left shin and pull your left leg/knee to your left armpit. You’ll feel this in the right glute. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch to the left leg. Do this 2-3 times per leg.

Once you do these, you’ve stretched your hips out well. Time to move on to the hamstrings. Get your rope!

HAMSTRING STRETCHES (lying on your back):

Single Leg Hamstring stretch.

Keep your left leg straight on the ground. Put the rope around your foot (I try to put the rope around the forefoot part of the foot vs. heel). Try to keep your foot FLEXED vs. toes pointed. VERY GENTLY pull the rope with your arms, stretching the leg. Keep the leg straight. Hey, I can’t even get my leg to 90 degrees (I’m not naturally flexible), so this is a humbling experience for me. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs. Do this 3 times per leg.

Cross Body Hamstring Stretch.

Wrap the rope around your foot (Same as above), and this time, move your leg (keep it straight) across your hip. You’ll feel this on the outside of your quad, and if you can’t go far, don’t worry about it. This is similar to the single leg knee stretch, but your leg is fully extended. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then switch legs. Do this 3 times per leg.

PSOAS STRETCH (on your stomach):

“Cobra” Stretch.

Flip over on your stomach. GENTLY push your upper body up, trying to straighten your arms. Don’t shrug your shoulders. If you feel any discomfort in your lower back, BACK OFF!! You’ll feel a gentle stretch in your abs, and it will feel great. Hold for 30 seconds, repeat 2-3 times.

QUAD STRETCHES:

Runner’s Stretch.

Now, kneel on one foot and the other knee. If needed, hold on to something to keep your balance and then push your hips forward. Make sure your forward foot is well in front of your body. You’ll feel this in the FRONT of your hip, and is a nice follow up to the Cobra, for me at least.

Single leg Quad Stretch.

Stand up, you’re almost done. Hold on to a chair for balance. Bring your heel to your glute, and grab your foot. I prefer to grab the shin bone, as I don’t want to pull the foot or ankle. Hold for 30 second, and switch. Make sure to keep your stretched quad in line with the balancing quad. Don’t have the stretched leg flying all over the place!

And now, you’re done. That won’t take you more than 15 minutes or so, and you can do it while watching your favorite TV show in the evening…or morning!

Now is the Time to Market Your Small Business

Janice | December 25, 2019December 20, 2019

As a blogger for www.bizequity.com, I’ve written a lot about small businesses and what they need to do to get their brand into the marketplace. Marketing a small business can be challenging. It also is the subject of a lot of debate. Why? Because if you’re the owner of a small business, you may not feel that spending money on marketing actually generates value. You may want, instead, to focus on investments directly related to your property and equipment, hoping that location and word of mouth will do its thing.

This is a mistake. Small businesses should be aggressive in terms of marketing, and they should make use of multiple media platforms. Let’s go through a few techniques that a small business can engage to increase its profile.

Let’s say you own a pizza shop. You want potential consumers to believe that they come in there and receive a value. Entice them by offering a coupon. Without a doubt, consumers have been trained to respond to coupons. One of the most effective ways to do this is to buy some advertising in a local newspaper and offer a coupon that can be cut from the ad itself. You can also check to see if you can include a coupon on the back of register tapes at local supermarkets, or maybe in one of those special mailers that include a bunch of coupons from local businesses in a single envelope.

Giving away free promotional materials with the purchase of a certain price point of pizza pies not only can entice a customer to spend, but it also offers the opportunity for free advertising. Maybe a pizza shop would offer a free tee shirt with the purchase of two large pizzas. The tee shirt would, naturally, have the joint’s name and logo featured prominently on the shirt. In fact, giving away clothing items might really work in recessionary times. As the economy further slides to the downside, people are looking to cut costs; they are also looking to get things for free. Giving away clothing items such as shirts and baseball caps becomes not just a fun novelty — there actually is an angle of practicality to it. A cash-strapped mom might enjoy receiving shirts for her children and perceive it as an efficient way to both eat and add to the family’s wardrobe. And don’t forget that you could throw the pizza joint’s logo on such practical items as calendars, notebooks, pens, etc. The usual suspects, to be sure, but I don’t think every business owner fully grasps the value of such publicity.

Don’t just focus on pizzas — make sure you work on commercials, too. Not enough small business owners take advantage of the relatively inexpensive desktop technology that is available today to film a quality TV spot that can be placed on a local cable platform. Believe it or not, local cable companies will offer you the opportunity to advertise on major channels. And for a reasonable price. Remember to be humorous in your piece, and perhaps be willing to write out smart scripts that, as an example, might spoof pop-cultural icons. Maybe it’s Halloween season, and you want to take advantage of that. Maybe you could do a takeoff of the horror movie series “Saw” and have it involve pizza. If you know that series, then I’m sure you’d agree that the comedic possibilities are endless! (I can imagine it now: a couple of victims are trying to get out of one of the killer’s traps, only to be distracted by Pizza Shop X’s delicious pies.) Or, you might spoof Charlie Brown and create a Great Pizza to rival the Great Pumpkin. Similar stuff could be done for Christmas, Fourth of July, etc.

Besides using the local paper, you need to get out there and network. A pizza-shop owner must be his own best advertisement. He can join local clubs, become involved in school functions, volunteer at local charities, etc. Becoming known about town is one of the best ways to get your brand in the minds of city denizens. Also, if you’re willing, starting up a show on local cable access might get your face and your business out there. Technically, you cannot directly advertise on local cable access, but it nevertheless will allow you the opportunity to indirectly mention your business.

It doesn’t just stop at those few suggestions. Our hypothetical pizza shop would want to buy space in high school yearbooks, sponsor local events such as concerts by resident bands, engage radio advertising, etc. A small business must inculcate Medical practice website design services for great of their business, which helps in maintaining relationship strong between customer and service provider. Itself into every single thread of the community fabric. And it must do so in as creative a fashion as conceivable. The important point is to market, market, market…and take advantage of the current times, since buying spots on platforms such as newspapers and radio are dirt cheap. Remember that the mindshare surrounding your business can latch on to any competing concept. Since many business owners who are starting out oftentimes fumble the ball in terms of promotions (in my opinion, at least), I believe there is a significant opportunity for the business that exploits the part of the model that is dedicated to name recognition.

Promoting Your Business Through On-Screen Cinema Advertising

Janice | December 23, 2019December 20, 2019

Many movie theatres offer on-screen entertainment prior to showing the feature movie. This entertainment can be in the form of trivia questions, sneak peaks at new movies, and – most importantly to you – local advertising.

On-screen entertainment usually takes the form of slide presentations, although more and more theatres are turning toward live-action presentations. Either format provides you with an effective advertising medium.

Typically, ads run about 15 – 20 minutes prior to the start of a movie. They can be very effective because they are the only thing going on for the audience to focus on – you are presenting your message to a captive audience without too many other distractions.

Rates are generally determined by the number of ads you place in the slide carousel (which dictates the number of times on average someone will see your ad), the number of screens on which your ad appears, and the number of theatres in which your ad is placed.

In the age of multi-plex theatres, you may be able to arrange a deal where your ad appears on all 12 screens in one or more theatres. By planning your advertising, you may be able to ensure that anyone going to see a movie in your town will at some point see an ad for your company.

Don’t forget to include production costs when budgeting for on-screen advertising. You may have artwork set-up fees or slide production fees. Your contract may also state that you can change your advertising at any time for a small fee.

Of course, your budget may have to be larger for a live-action ad. Think of these ads like a television commercial. You’ll have all the same costs. You may be able to save production costs if you are able to use an existing ad.

The most effective advertising offers a special deal to patrons of the theatre. For example, you could offer a discount when someone brings in their movie ticket stub. This is an effective technique especially if your office or store is in the same center or immediate location of the theatre. (Collecting movie stubs also helps you track the effectiveness of the ad.)

You could also work a cross-promotion with the movie theatre and offer free movie tickets to your clients. You should be able to buy large quantities of tickets at a discount. Speak with the theatre manager to negotiate a deal.

You might have better success with a locally-owned theatre. National chains may have strict requirements about advertising and may lean toward national advertisers. The advertising rates may also be higher.

Local theatres, on the other hand, may be in a better position to negotiate with you on advertising rates or bulk ticket prices.

Most theatres outsource the advertising to a media company. These companies usually set the rates and manage the advertising campaigns. Most media companies will also help you design and create your ad and format for the type of projectors they are using.

You may not have too much flexibility when dealing with an outsourced mebe media company, especially if you want a medicine advertise, for this concern Medical Web Experts provides medical website design services and advertisement features which can be reliable for you. They usually set rates for all advertisers and don’t have a lot of room for discounts. You may, however, be able to get a discounted rate if you buy space on more screens, in additional theatres, or you commit to a long-term contract. Explore these different options.

Look for opportunities to have an exclusive contract. This means that your competitors will not be able to advertise in the same theatre as long as you have the contract. You should also try to negotiate for the right of first refusal, which means that when your contract expires, you have the right to renew or refuse the contract before it is offered to anyone else – including your competitors.

Cinema advertising can be an effective method for reaching a mass market in your local community. And besides, who doesn’t want to be in show business?

Boost your Entry Way Security with Door Intercom System today

Janice | December 7, 2019December 3, 2019

Heavy locks are not enough to secure your doors. Remember that intruders can become crafty just to infiltrate your home. That’s why we reviewed the Ring Video Doorbell Pro and realized homeowners should certainly think of installing door intercom systems today.

It offers a layer of protection to keep intruders at bay. It’s useful if you don’t want to talk to somebody in the meantime as well. And that’s by letting you identify who’s at the door even before you open it.

What is a Door Intercom System?

A door intercom is a stand-alone system that allows communication from a door unit to other answering units in the household. When somebody rings the doorbell, for example, the answering units would ring for you to make a response. Thing is, you don’t have to answer the call if you don’t want to. Door intercoms can merely display an audio-video feed to the answering unit–letting you know who’s at the door without answering back.

In other words, these intercom systems can act as advance door peepholes or communication devices depending on the situation. You only need to choose and install the right system for the best user experience.

Benefits of a Door Intercom System for Household Security

The main purpose of a door intercom is to help identify who’s at the door before opening it. But it also involves a lot of perks around such purposes, such as:

Helps in Keeping Intruders out

Door intercoms are great in boosting your home’s layer of security. That includes putting intruders or criminals at bay. Thing is, you need the right intercom system to optimize such function. Buy one with audio-visual handling features, efficient alert sending method, and door control mechanisms.

The door unit will send a currently captured audio-visual feed to your answering unit. So, you can easily identify that there’s a stranger at your door. An efficient remote control system helps you keep the door securely locked as well. And if your door unit has motion sensing features, it will automatically alert you when somebody is at the door; even if the person doesn’t ring the doorbell.

Now, you can make a wise decision of calling the cops instead of recklessly opening the door.

Keep Disturbances away

Yes, threats of intruders are major disturbances for your home. But there are minor annoyances door intercoms can help you keep away too.

Think of salesmen constantly ringing your door to talk about their offers. You wouldn’t want to worry about nosy neighbors trying to disturb your rest as well. Sometimes, you also need space from friends whom you feel bad about, so you opt not to let them in for a while.

Those are small things to worry about, but your rest and peace of mind are valuable. It’s a good thing that a door intercom allows you to block their entry conveniently.

Conveniently Operate your Door

Some door intercoms have door mechanism integration features. These are the useful controlling mechanism which allows you to operate your door from a distance.

For example, you’re cooking at the kitchen, then a friend drops-by for a visit. You identify the person through the answering unit near your kitchen, and you want to let him or her inside. Some intercom systems allow unlocking of the door remotely using the answering units. So, you can let your friend inside without leaving your food on the fire.

Plenty of Options for any Household

Lastly, there are several door intercom systems available today. There are wired and wireless systems or those which come with smartphone application controls. In other words, you’ll surely find one that suits your household’s needs.

If you don’t want cables running all over your home, for example, choose wireless door intercom. If there’s an elderly or a person with movement difficulty in your home, choose one with movable answering units. So, they don’t have to walk to and from the unit each time it rings.

Consider other features that are helpful for you and your family.

Door intercoms are certainly helpful for any household today. But it’s important to choose the right quality system that suits your needs and preferences. In addition, be sure to hire a professional installation service instead of doing it by yourself. That would help optimize its benefits for your home door security.

Four Inexpensive Antiaging Skin Care Aids

Janice | December 3, 2019December 3, 2019

If you’ve passed a cosmetic counter lately, you know how expensive skin care products can be. Each product claims to have the answer to younger, more beautiful looking skin. Unfortunately, these so called “answers” can take a considerable toll on your pocketbook. People go through hundreds of products every year and never find something that really works. You can even check out Purtier Placenta Testimonials for these products so that you feel completely satisfies with their reviews and ratings as well.

With these products you’re paying a heavy premium for advertising. Many of these prettily packaged products have no more benefit than the common products you find at your health food store or drugstore. You can avoid this problem by sticking with anti-aging skin care aids that are effective without tacking on the shocking price tag. Here are some super cheap anti-aging skin care aids that will give you effective results without breaking the bank:

Skin care aids: A metal pan, a towel, and some dried herbs

Yes, simpler is sometimes better. One of the most effective ways to revitalize sallow, tired skin is a five minute steam herbal treatment. To do this, bring your pan of water to boiling. Add your fresh herbs. Turn down the heat and allow the herbal water to simmer for five minutes. Pull back your hair and cover your head with a towel to create a tent to direct the steam to your face. Hold your face over the steam for five minutes. Now splash your face with cool water. Does your skin look glowing and youthful?

Skin care aids: Exfoliating pads

Inexpensive exfoliating pads purchased from your local drugstore work remarkably well for skin rejuvenation. Be sure to purchase pads designed specifically for the face since ones used on the body can be too abrasive. Simply wet your face and apply a nondrying soap or cold cream. Use your exfoliating pad to buff your face in a circular motion moving in a clockwise direction until you’ve covered your face. You’ll remove the flakey, dead skin cells that can give your face an aged, tired look. The result will be the emergence of fresh new skin cells. Repeat this process every few days to retain your more youthful looking skin.

Skin care aids: An all natural, inexpensive facial moisturizer

When it comes to moisturizing the face, there’s no need to buy an overpriced facial moisturizer from the Lancome counter. One of the simplest and most effective moisturizers is glycerin you buy from your natural food market. Glycerin not only acts as a barrier to reduce moisture loss from the skin, it also draws moisture from the atmosphere depositing it on your skin to keep it moist and lubricated. To quickly make your own glycerin based moisturizer, fill a glass atomizer with half glycerin and half distilled water. Mix thoroughly. Spray a small amount onto your hand and apply it to your face. Some ingredients you can add to your homemade glycerin moisturizer are liquid vitamin E and vitamin C which act as antioxidants, although this isn’t necessary. Not only is this moisturizer as effective as more expensive brands, you also won’t expose yourself to unsafe chemicals or potential allergens.

Skin care aids: Sunscreen

Photo damage is the number one cause of skin aging. By wearing a facial sunscreen on a daily basis, you do more to protect your skin than any moisturizer or night cream can do. Because many sunscreens contain chemicals that can mimic the effects of estrogen when absorbed, choose one that’s labeled PABA and paraben free. A good choice is a titanium based sunscreen.

Choose The Best Electronic Dartboard For Your Next Game

Janice | November 30, 2019November 26, 2019

Playing a dartboard is a common game that most have us have relished during childhood. The game of darts is an engaging and interesting activity for many.

Find a convenient way to choose the best electronic dart boards for your entertainment with this guide.

Choosing the best electronic dartboards for your play

Soft tip electronic dartboards can appear a lot like traditional dartboards. The usual clockwise number scoring on both type of boards is the same. It is only on a closer look that you will come across differences between the two.

Here are a few things that you ought to check before committing to buy an electronic dartboard.

The face of the dartboard

Go for an option that is composed of durable material. Usually, something made with a thermoplastic will fit the bill best for your purpose. The holes on the surface of such material should be well tapered to allow the soft grip of the darts to hold on to the face. Scoring sections must be divided equally with plastic rings and dividers and should be ideally as thin as possible, to avoid out bounce of darts.

Size of the dartboard

Usually, soft tip dartboards happen to be smaller than conventional bristle dartboards. It can range anywhere between 13.5 inches to 15.5 inches in the complete diameter. This is smaller than the usual 18 inches of a conventional board.

Popular brands

A good place to start with, when searching for electronic dartboards, is to look for popular brands. Some of the well known brands in the category of electronic dartboards and soft tip darts are Viper, Laser Darts, Darts Factory, Arachnid 360, Black Widow Darts and more. Arachnid was one of the first few brands in the category of original electronic dartboards to be released. Another popular brand in this category is Viper.

Display quality

Electronic boards come with a variation between LCD and LED display. The display is used to show various elements like the score, player name and more. When you set out to pick the best electronic dartboards, you might want to go with a board that is built with LED display. It is mainly the vibrancy of display, ease of readability, and aesthetics of such board that make it attractive for users. Such LED display boards might also include the functionality to show the difference in scores, players and game details. A screen with LCD might turn out to be duller and difficult to read.

Source of power

It is easy to understand that an electronic dartboard requires electricity to run. Such electronic boards can be built with different power sources such as only AC power or only battery power or a combination of both. If you choose an AC powered board, make sure that it is accompanied by an adapter. Also, opt for an AC powered board only if you will be able to mount it near a power source. If that might not be feasible, look instead for a battery powered board or another board that offers both options.

Conclusion

Considering the safety feature of an electronic dartboard, it makes sense to choose them over the traditional boards. As long as you opt for something with a good and reliable surface, ideal soft tip darts and thin scoring separators, you may never even come to miss your old dartboards.

For having a good waist requires training on the part of the individual. Waist training, as is mentioned, involves training that is undergone for getting a slim-trim waist, both manually and mechanically, like physical exercise and cardio training through cycling, tread mills etc.

Certain methods used for training are as follows:

Avoid Competition:

The main purpose is to make your waist slimmer and trimmer, there is no competition with anyone. So just avoid comparing with friends and relatives as they all have different waist lengths and measurements. In addition, everyone follows a different diet plan, which is an essential part of the training module. As the old saying goes, too many cooks spoil the broth, so different perspectives of different people can make you nuts, so just keep a slow and steady pace and see the desired results in no time.

Easy task:

Its not about harbouring a temporary spark of obsession over your goal, make it a fire of obsession to achieve the end results that you desire that made you take it up in the first place. It can be done by including the corset in the daily routine gradually. For beginners, the best idea would be to get a laced corset or purchase the latest latex waist trainer and wrap it around the waist every few hours each day.

Take off the waist trainer:

As mentioned above, the waist trainer has to be worn for a few hours everyday but you’re not bound to wear it 24 hours daily. It should be taken off when taking a shower and going to bed. In addition, before doing daily exercises, the trainer has to be taken off as wearing a corset all the time won’t be convenient and most uncomfortable while doing cardio exercises. Based on reviews, only the best waist trainers reviews are chosen.

Have patience:

The human body and its functions are the same for everyone but its characteristics and functioning will differ from individual to individual.

Along with a great deal of patience, the time for the waist to get back in the shape you want it to depends on many a different number of factors such as core density, the distance between the rib cage and the pelvic bone top, shape of the clothes you are wearing along with your cartilage flexibility, to name a few. In a nutshell, training 6 months prior is the minimum time period for the waist to get in shape so patience is a significant factor for anyone to keep to get desired results in time.

Handle negativity in a positive manner:

While the aforementioned point says that one has to wait patiently for a specific time period for the required results, the time in between the start of training to the end is not only hectic but can also be quite de-motivational.

Your friends can make fun of you if you wear the waist trainer around you on a daily basis. While it can be quite difficult for a docile, shy and timid person to cope up with the pressure, no one should take such things to heart, for there is nothing embarrassing or humiliating to do so.

You should face the negative comments and face it with a smile, even a good laugh, as laughter therapy is not only a good remedy for a mind to be at peace but also helps in greater blood flow throughout the body enabling better functioning. Being an object of ridicule is generally taken as a negative thing, but don’t let it crush your spirit and the passion inside you but take it in a positive manner and enhance the zeal and enthusiasm. Laughing at others is very easy but the real humour is when you learn to laugh at yourself.

In conclusion, the process of waist training may take a good deal of time and effort, but once the results of start showing up, you will find that they were well worth your time and the energy that you put into during this period.

Like it has already been mentioned, the results that you see will differ from person to person because while the hard work may be sincere, its not necessary for everyone who puts in hard work shall be liable to get the desired results because the body is made up of different ailments as well, some through your own carelessness regarding your well being and others through hereditary measures as every eight out of ten people throughout the world are grappling with one health issue or another and this factor has to be taken into consideration, while doing activities such as keeping your waist in shape.

In these scenarios, the best advise is to consult your dietician as what you eat and strictly adhering to your diet is what matters and also consulting a doctor is also helpful regarding such issues.

Leather

Due to its sustainable nature and durable life span, it is the best option to consider, since. It softens with time as well as adapts to your grip.
However, leather leashes demand a high price point and that’s probably it’s sole drawback.

Chain

Never consider it as an option as it is not only heavy but also quite tough to use.

It is inexpensive, but the harm caused to you and your dog is more than the price compensation.

Style

The extra freedom will give your dog a boost in self-confidence and allow him to have more fun.
It will enable the pet to get more exercise, without constantly being attached to his parent’s side
Besides, retractable leashes allow freedom of pace to both the master and his dog.
You can walk at your own pace without pulling your dog back to slow down.
Plus, your dog will rarely tug the leash to urge you to walk faster.

Standard leashes

Essentially just a rope, it lacks in functionality and creativity of the aforementioned retractable leashes
Price is really cheap which makes the leash a common choice among pet parents

Janice | May 13, 2019May 13, 2019

After all, your role as an instructor is important for the learning and development of trainees all throughout their journey in archery. So, if you would like to become an archery coach, here are some of the qualities that you should possess to be a great one.

Good instructors are fun to be with

Archery is a serious sport. It requires mere attention and focus to shoot the target accurately. Hence, trainees need to train harder and seriously to progress in archery. While it is necessary to be focused and serious as a coach, being fun and having sense of humor can motivate your trainees in some ways. Thus, every instructor should know how to add fun factors in training. The process of learning archery should never be miserable. To do this, good instructors must include and incorporate some games to teach lessons and make it more fun and lively.

Adaptable

Technical Knowledge

Of course, this is the most important quality an archery instructor should have. A good instructor knows exactly what he is teaching to his students.

Hammocks ensure you get better sleep and they are also a lot more comfortable in comparison to a sleeping bag. While there are a number of different kinds of hammocks that you can invest in, always pick one that has portable hammock stands since this makes it easy for you to travel with the hammock no matter where you go. These hammocks are lightweight and very easy to travel with.

Hammocks these days are easy to travel with and although they are light, they are durable and long lasting. When you pick one that comes with portable hammock stands you do not need to worry about where you are going to put up the hammock. Since most hammocks are foldable, they are easy to carry along even if you need to trek or walk a long distance. Hammocks are very comfortable and apart from sleeping in them, you can also spend time relaxing and reading or listening to music in them.

However just by switching over from your mattress to a hammock this problem will be solved forever. With a hammock you will always have nights with deep sleep. There will be absolutely no problems with the duration of the sleep as well. Hammocks also take care of back and neck sprains. This is another chronic problem that involves spending a lot of money on special pillows and mattress.

However a hammock takes care of that problem at no additional investment. It is always advisable to opt in for a hammock due to the health benefits. It is said that a hammock also increases the concentration in people. Many people are of the opinion that when they sleep on a mattress they are stressed about how they will get sleep and other thoughts of work and problems enter their head when they do not get sleep. With the slow swaying motion of a hammock you get sleep almost instantly and this helps improves concentration and increases alertness while sleeping and while staying awake as well.

List Apartments For Free; Beyond Craigslist

Janice | March 26, 2020March 31, 2020

Being an owner of income properties has not been easy during the recession. The mortgage payments keep coming even when you have vacancies. In many cases, you have vacancies, but you are hesitant of paying a person or service to list them for you. In this market, cash flow is a premium, and you do not know when they will get leased. It’s hard to keep the enthusiasm up for anyone.

Fortunately, there are three do-it-yourself listing services that have been particularly helpful, and they are all free. First is Craigslist (www.craigslist.com), second is Rentlinx (www.rentlinx.com), and third is Loopnet (www.loopnet.net). They are all free at the basic level, and if you do manage to rent out some of your properties, you can send them some love and sign up for the paid service.

First, we all know that Craigslist is free. However, if you do not refresh the listings, they quickly fall to the bottom, and that happens very quickly in large cities. Most readers will not have time or patience to scroll through page after page of listing, especially when there are so many vacancies. So you have to refresh them every 48 hours, and it is hard to be so disciplined. While free, Craigslist has other limitations as well. For example, you can only post 4 pictures, and they together they must total more than 10 MB.

Second, Rentlinx, www.rentlinx.com, which is very helpful. The basic level is very good and free. They aggregate for many other websites, including Show Me the Rent (www.showmetherent.com), trovit (www.trovit.com), and others (including Craigslist every 15 days). You can list as many residential properties as you like, and Rentlinx has much more flexibility in terms pictures and details. You can refresh every hour, and watch your web traffic increase, and compare statistics month to month. Rentlinx is a real gem. The customer service folks at Rentlinx are excellent, and responsive even if you are a free member! No strong sales pressure tactics, but do send them some love if you happen to rent out a property. They do even more for the paid listings.

Rentlinx is one of the best websites to find out about rental apartments and which one you can afford depending on the budget and what sets it apart from Craiglist is that it also has a separate section where people can share their experiences regarding apartments and the rental issues by writing down their opinion, which is basically a word of mouth publicity that will help other people in selecting better. It has a Parc Central Residences floor plan for those apartments that are located in Porsche localities because residents are very particular about cleanliness in their area and also the insides of the apartment.

Third, for commercial properties is Loopnet.net (www.loopnet.com). They allow you to list your first three properties for free. Loopnet.com say that their paid service will get you 10 times more leads, but I always found that they provide me enough leads as a “courtesy” to keep me going. Furthermore, when the listing are stale, they will prompt you to refresh your leads. Loopnet is also aggregates many other services. I have never had a “spammed” lead with Loopnet. Again, don’t forget to send them some love it they manage to help you out.

Crafts For a Boy’s Birthday Party

Janice | March 25, 2020March 25, 2020

As parents, our biggest concern when throwing a birthday party is keeping the little guests busy and happy. One of the best, and most fun, ways to do that is to involve the kids in a craft!

Kids love hands-on projects, so why not provide a craft activity that they can really get involved in! As an added bonus, they get to bring their creation home with them! (In an effort to be health conscious, send their project home in lieu of a candy- filled goody bag.)

Children are quite fond of art and crafts right from a tender age and if it adds up to birthday party celebrations, it will be the icing on the cake situation where kids can try their hand out at various crafts like face paint, art design, sculpture, drawing, skits, sandcastle, etc. These activities will surely make the atmosphere more comfortable and lively as it is quite engaging. It will also serve as a practice for future projects of similar content.

The kids have a great time, and the crafts provide a quieter, more controlled atmosphere (a definite concern when hosting a house full of boys!). It’s win-win!

Craft Idea for a Boy’s Birthday Party: Perler Beads

Don’t shy away because you heard the word “beads”. It’s not what you think. Perler Beads are plastic beads which the kids arrange on (basically) a very small peg board. These little boards come in all kinds of shapes- squares, circles, stars, and people, to name a few.

Kids’ creativity really comes out on this project! When they’ve finished arranging their beads, an adult needs to fuse them together with a hot iron. (It takes 30 seconds.) If you thread a string through the top, projects can be used as necklaces, window adornment, Christmas tree ornaments, or hung from a rear-view mirror.

A bucket of 8500 beads, pegboards, and ironing paper retails for $15. (I bought a bucket of 8500 when my son was 5, and we still have half of them left. And I’m telling you, the kids played with these all the time!) Perler Beads can find these at major craft stores, Wal-Mart, and on-line at https://www.perlerbeads.com/.

Perler Beads are a good project for boys in grades 1- 4.

Craft Idea for a Boy’s Birthday Party: Balloon Animals

Balloon animals were always a huge hit at my son’s birthday parties! So much so that we did them for a few years running!

The kids always went nuts at the sight of the balloons! Being boys, they were never too interested in following the directions to learn how to make balloon animals. Instead, they would tie them together to make all kinds of crazy hats and costumes! What a riot! I still laugh at the memories!

A bag of balloons comes with instructions on how to make the animals and a little hand-size air pump. Trust me, you’ll want that pump! This is not an expensive craft, but it takes a lot of preparation. (I would plan on spending at least two hours before the party inflating balloons. I used to blow them all up the day before and store them in large garbage bags.)

You can buy balloon animal type balloons at Dollar Tree or CVS. If I remember correctly, there are 50 in a bag. The price varies depending on where you buy them.

Boys in grades 1- 4 enjoy creating projects with balloons.

Craft Idea for a Boy’s Birthday Party: The Amazing Button Maker

This was another huge hit! I think the appeal here is that this craft requires a little “machine”: The Amazing Button Maker! (The Amazing Button Maker actually makes what we call pins (maybe in other parts of the country they call them buttons). I just want to be clear that it doesn’t make the type of button that would be used instead of a snap or zipper.)

The boys absolutely loved being able to choose their own design, place it on the button maker, operate the mechanism (all by themselves), and have a finished product in just seconds! I think it gave them a sense of grown-up accomplishment. (And a bunch of “Rock On!” and Homer Simpson pins.)

You can buy The Amazing Button Maker at most major craft stores. It retails for under $20. (It’s worth shopping around for the best price. I got mine at AC Moore and I used the 40% off coupon to save even more.) I would recommend buying a package of extra buttons. The 20 that it comes with go very quickly!

Boys in grades 4- 6 enjoy making buttons with The Amazing Button Maker.

Craft Idea for a Boy’s Birthday Party: Tie-dye T-shirts

This is a great craft for boys, especially if you’re having a sleepover party. All you need is a tie-dye kit and white t-shirts. You can let the shirts dry overnight and the boys can wear them home in the morning!

If there’s one thing boys like more than creating something, it’s having something to show for their creativity! I still have pictures of the boys proudly showing off their tie-dye t-shirts after a night of very little sleep! Then they all wore them to school on Monday- how cool was that?!

Tie-dye kits are available at craft stores and discount retailers. I bought multi-packs of undershirts for the boys to use for their tie-dyes. Look around for sales because prices can vary greatly. (I would check Penney’s, Target, and Wal-Mart for the undershirts, and Wal-Mart for the tie-dye kit.)

Boys in grades 5- 6 enjoy making tie-dye T-shirts.

How to Become an Ohio Plumber

Janice | March 24, 2020March 23, 2020

Ohio seeks to maintain competence in commercial construction projects by requiring several types of licenses through the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board. Plumbing contractors working on commercial real estate projects need to get one of these statewide licenses. All Ohio plumbers may also have other requirements at the local level. Aspiring plumbers need to check with their local Ohio building department for their own county or city plumbing license and registration requirements. Being a plumber is not an easy task. Hence, there are certain steps that you need to do in order to become one. So to help you out, these are the steps that you must take to become an Ohio plumber.

Step 1:

If you intend to be a commercial plumbing contractor, then you need to meet the Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board’s licensing requirements for plumbers. Here are the basic requirements:

You must be at least 18 years old.
You must present a $25 fee to take an exam and a $25 licensing fee after passing the exam.
You must be able to work in the United States legally, either as a citizen or lawful alien with a work visa or other work authorization.
Meet one of the following experience requirements:
Work as a plumber for the full five years immediately before your application
Be registered as an engineer in Ohio plus have three years of business experience in plumbing contracting
Some other kind of experience if the board deems it sufficient for licensing purposes.
You cannot have any felony on your record. You also cannot have any misdemeanor involving moral turpitude on your record.
You must pass the Ohio plumber license exam.
Before getting the license, you will also have to secure at least half a million dollars in liability insurance.

When applying for the exam, access the application form here. Make your $25 check or money order to “Treasurer, State of Ohio.” Use the following mailing address to send in your plumber license exam application:

Ohio Department of Commerce
Ohio Construction Industry Licensing Board
6606 Tussing Road
P.O. Box 4009
Reynoldsburg, OH 43068-9009

Step 2:

Once you have accumulated enough experience, then you should start preparing for the Ohio plumbing exam. On the application form, you can find contact details for the exam study references from the Builders Book Depot and Thomson. You will also receive a “Candidate Information Bulletin” from the board with the necessary information for registering for the exam.

Step 3:

When you have finished taking your test and submitting the results to the board, you can then receive an Ohio plumbers license. However, you still need to check with your city or county building departments for local requirements. Because only Ohio commercial plumbing contractors are required to get a state license, all other plumbers will almost certainly need to have experience and education and possibly pass an exam to get a local license for work as an Ohio plumber.

Create Your Own Duct Tape Wallet

Janice | March 20, 2020March 24, 2020

The duct tape wallet is a type of wallet that uses no expensive materials that can be found in your house. This type of wallet can be put anywhere you like and it is handy. You can also add different colors to it as well.

Gather all the necessary things needed for you to make the wallet. You just need to have the following:

A Roll of Duct Tape
Razor Blade Cutter
Ruler
Cutting Board

After you have gathered all the materials, you can already start creating your wallet. Just follow these steps:

Get a sheet of a duct tape. To form a perfect rectangular shape, use a cutting board to guide you. Now place a piece of duct tape on your board downside. A sheet of a duct tape must be of 2 inches longer in size, bigger than a dollar bill. Add on the second tape unto the first tape overlapping it. The second tape must be of ½ inch longer than the first tape. Then same with the second tape, put on the third piece of the tape overlapping the second tape. The 3 strips that were put on must be twice the height of a dollar bill and if not, add a fourth piece of the tape.
Now turn over the sheet of the cutting board. Tear off a sheet of the cutting board and stick it side up. Add another tape to it side down to cover the first tape on all its sides by ½ inch.
Fold all the overlapping by ½ inch tape on each sides forming on completely the duct tape sheet.
Perform again the first, second and third steps to make the pocket. This time, the second sheet must be of ½ inch smaller on the short side than the first one.
Now start creating the wallet. Fold the first sheet lengthwise by half. Wallet must be on exact shape that a bill can fit on. Now fold the second piece of the duct tape. Put on together the two sheets creating a pocket for your credit cards. Add on more 2 strips of the duct tape to close on the sides of the wallets.
Lastly, fold your wallet on half. Add on some colors to it. The adding of the color will provide impressive loss to the slim minimalist wallet. The appearance of the color should be on the top while folding the wallet in triangle shape.

Presto! You just have created your personalized wallet. It is just simple, right?

You can now put your cash and credit cards in to it and keep it. Bring it anywhere you go and put it anywhere you like. You can create more and maybe make it as your gifts to your family and friends. It is so easy to make and very cost-effective. No need to buy an expensive one.

How Airport Security Protects Us from Terrorists, Harm

Janice | March 19, 2020March 19, 2020

Balance has, is, and will always be an important attribute to attain. Whether it’s the ability to traverse a fallen tree in the woods or the ability to balance life and all its accompaniments, balancing has become more than a skill and has evolved into a science. This fact is evident in many different areas, one of the most prominent being that of protecting airports and airlines from terrorism. This balance has never been of as much importance as it is today when airport security must balance customer convenience with overall safety. Threats are constantly evolving and it is airport security’s job to put an end to threats before they can be put into action.

A first line of defense

Airports are large gathering locations for people every day. Between flights departing, arriving, families waiting to meet family members, and employees, airports are very large gathering places. It is this attribute that is the main draw for terrorist attention and possible attacks. Airport security is in place to act as a front-line defense, preventing terrorists from transporting weapons into an airport and eventually onto a plane. Succeeding in this process significantly reduces the chances of a terrorist smuggling illegal materials onto an aircraft. The purpose of airport security is twofold. They are designed to protect the airport from attacks and crime and to protect airlines from attack.

Airport Enforcement Authority

Following the September 11th attacks, all baggage and passenger screening must be conducted by the Transportation Security Administration federal employees. In crisis situations, the National Guard and local police forces may also aid in airport security, although they are unable to participate in actual passenger screenings. State and local governments take an active role in airport security by providing not only manpower, but equipment as well. These groups may include local police, a dedicated police force, airport protection services, and police dogs. In certain situations, additional officers from the above organizations may be called upon to aid in extra security procedures.

Processes and equipment

The most effective tool at the disposal of airport security is the metal detector. The most common incidents involving airliners have occurred due to the ability of passengers to carry weapons or improvised weapons onto a plane. The good operation of the metal detector at an airport is vital to the protection of the airport as well as airplanes. More advanced explosive detectors have the ability to detect various explosives not only on a person, but also in their carry on and checked luggage. The newest and most advanced detection apparatus is an x-ray machine capable of detecting concealed weapons on passengers. X-rays are also used to scan carry on luggage for potential threats. A final technique used by airport screeners is the random screening. In this process, randomly selected passengers are subjected to a more intense screening to detect threats other methods may have missed.

Notable airport security incidents

Over the years, several incidents have occurred pertaining to airport security. The most notable and lethal failure of airport security was the September 11th terrorist attacks which resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths. The deadliest airline disaster occurred when a bomb was detonated on Air India Flight 182 mid-flight and resulted in the deaths of 329 people.

One of the most notable lapses of airport security appears to be a relatively minor from the outside. A bombing in 1994 on Philippine Airlines Flight 434 killed only one person and required the plane to make an emergency landing. The most important aspect about this incident was that it led to the discovery of a major terrorist plot to detonate multiple planes simultaneously. The most recent incident involves the discovery of a major terror plot in designed to detonate multiple planes mid-flight. The finding of this plot caused the terror alert level to be raised to red for the first time in it’s history.

With careful observation, utilization of the best technology, and a careful balance of safety and customer convenience, airport security continues to play one of the most vital front-line roles in the war on terrorism.

The US airports have the best security system in the world as a result of which no terrorist dares to cross the US borders as doing so is akin to suicide and therefore there has been no terrorist attack in the States since 9/11. Flights out of Seattle airport today have resorted to extreme measures to interrogate and punish terror suspects that pop up every now and then.

Making Outside Decorations for Spring or Summer

Janice | March 17, 2020March 19, 2020

Now that the weather is getting nicer, it is natural to want to spend more time outside. If you’re trying to find a few unique ideas for decorating outside, why not make your own? With wicker daybeds, you can create a unique and beautiful space for your patio and earn compliments from your friends and family members. What makes this more lucrative is the fact that you can set all this up on your own. Although, here are a few projects you can make fairly quick to decorate your yard, patio or deck.

Lighting:

Take a tomato cage and poke it into the ground. Take some grapevine and wind it around the tomato cage. Put a string of outdoor lights around the grapevine. A few of these around the yard gives off a lot of light.

Take some solar lights and put a colored glass lamp shade over each one. The sun will still get to them during the day, and in the evening you have a beautiful romantic setting.

A few strings of lights around an iron fence or gate.

A string of lights and some grapevine wound in and out a wooden fence looks very nice also.

Birdbaths:

For a quick birdbath, buy a 12″, 14″ and 16″ terra cotta pot, and a 20″ terra cotta saucer. (If you can find the glazed saucers they are nice to use) Turning the pots upside down, the 14″ will go on top of the 16″ and the 12″ will go on top of the 14″. You will be gluing together all the pots with a silicone adhesive or outside glue. Take the saucer and glue this on top of the 12″ pot, centering it the best you can. Let adhesive dry, fill the saucer with some water and add a few decorative rocks.

For an even quicker birdbath take an old enamel pie dish and set outside on deck, ground or old tree stump.

Wind Chimes:

For a wind chime base, you can use a terra cotta saucer, pie tin, old plate or bowl (turned upside down), an enamel lid from a pot, a wicker or wire basket, or piece of foot-long bamboo or copper.

For the chimes, you can use old silverware, glass prisms, metal or copper bells, bamboo or copper pieces cut with a copper cutter or hacksaw. Cut at different sizes for different tones.

Drill holes were needed in the base of the chime, for the number of chimes you will be putting on it. Make sure for the bases that are round, you put a hole in the middle for a chime. Drill holes in chime end and put each in place with some heavy fishing line.

Planting:

Chair planters can be beautifully planted up for spring or summer. You can get an old chair that’s the seat is missing or any chair can have part of its seat cut out with a jigsaw. Staple some screen along where the seat is missing, draping it down some for soil to set in. Add soil and plant your favorite annuals in the seat. If the back of the chair is spindled you may want some plants with vines growing up it. If the back of your chair is solid you may want to paint a welcome sign on it.

Herb coffee cans are not only cute, but they are also very useful. Wash out a coffee can and dry. Turn coffee can over and with a spike or screwdriver poke a few holes in the bottom for drainage. Take your favorite color of enamel spray paint and lightly spray can, repeating the process until covered as desired. There is no need to seal the can when using enamel paint. Once your can is painted and dried take a paint pen (if you are handy writing with paint and a paintbrush you can just use them) and write the name of the herbs you are going to put in the can. Take soil and fill halfway up, set herb in a coffee can and add more soil until it is about an inch or inch and a half from the top. You can use one can for each herb or put a few herbs together in one can.

How To Celebrate a One-Year Dating Anniversary On a Budget

Janice | March 17, 2020March 19, 2020

Money is tight in today’s society. With the rising cost of gas and food, it seems that being on a tight budget is the norm rather then the exception. It is hard to remember that you are on a tight budget when your one year dating anniversary is approaching. As your peer into your wallet and see the cobwebs blow in the breeze, you are brought back to the shocking reality that you do not have the money for a lavish one year dating anniversary celebration. Do not start to worry and think that your boyfriend or girlfriend will be upset that you can not go all out for your anniversary. There is a way that you can celebrate your one year dating anniversary and not blow your budget. Your boyfriend or girlfriend will not even realize that you are on a budget when they see the love and thought that went into the anniversary celebration.

Step One

Plan an anniversary celebration that will start early in the evening. By having your celebration of your one-year dating anniversary cover a longer period of time, your other half will not think that they are being short changed. An early evening start to your one year dating anniversary celebration on a budget will give you more options that you can do and not over spend.

Step Two

Plan a romantic picnic dinner for your one year dating anniversary celebration on a budget. If the weather is warm, you can head out to a local park to set a romantic backdrop for your dinner. A picnic dinner that takes place at your house is a great option for a colder weather anniversary. You can lay out a blanket and have your picnic dinner on the floor on your place to make it special.

To make the occasion more romantic, be sure to take a tent with tables and chairs in order to create the look of a candle light dinner in a five star hotel. Don’t forget the champagne as this is the 1^st anniversary party and if you feel short of words to speak, do consult a free dating app that you used to woo and win her over, but this time take care to remember that your girlfriend of yesterday is your present day wife.

Step Three

Prepare a variety of your partner’s favorite foods for the one year anniversary celebration. Choose foods that can easily be packed and served at a picnic. By preparing the food yourself, you will save a lot of money over going out to dinner at a restaurant. You will also show your love in the fact that you took the time to make everything that your other have enjoys.

Step Four

Pack nice silverware and pretty china plates to have your one-year anniversary picnic dinner on. Do not forget the wine glasses and a bottle of your favorite wine to make the anniversary celebration extra special.

Step Five

Finish your special one-year anniversary with a romantic dance. Have a CD player nearby with a CD of romantic songs in it. Grab your love by the hand and dance your way into the new year of your relationship.
