When Health Care Professionals Get It Wrong

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Please don’t misunderstand me here. Health Care is a serious topic and I don’t want to belittle the skill, professionalism and worth of health care professionals like doctors and dentists.

But for me they’ve got it wrong as often they’ve got it correct. So what do we do next?

Let me first give you an amusing example of how a health care professional got it wrong for me.

It begins like this. I had a cold and had a sore throat, so I took a well known lozenge to help my sore throat. But something happened and I swallowed it before it had dissolved. I didn’t choke on it. Something else happened which felt even worse. I got the hiccups. For 3 days.

3 days. Have you got any idea what it is like to have the hiccups for 3 whole days? Every bit as annoying as you would think!

However the main point is, I consulted two doctors and both of them had absolutely no clue what was wrong. It was definitely a case of ‘drink water upside down and leave me alone’.

So what to do when doctors don’t have the asnwers? The answer, I humbly suggest, is one has educate oneself about health. That doesn’t mean spend hours and hours reading healtcare journals. It just means paying a bit more attention and making a bit more effort when it comes to our most important possession - our own body.

In short, we need to take more responsibility for our own health.

A teacher of mine once said ‘The first question I ask any physician is ‘I know my body better than you do. True or False?” If the doctor answered false, he wouldn’t let that doctor treat him.

And I think there is the crux of ensuring balanced Health Care. Know your body better than your doctor. You probably do anyway.

Olympics 2012 , Emerging Economies, Internet Marketing Tips

Monday, September 8th, 2008

The upcoming London Olympics is not only a great opportunity to showcase human kinetics but also a great opportunity for global business venture. The said sports gathering will make chances for business-oriented individuals– I am one of them–to explore global business potentials. So for now, I am constantly monitoring this event by browsing the Internet. I always to search about London Olympics as well as about globalization or global emerging markets and internet marketing business.

london 2012 olympics
I use Google search engine for search, I usually type keywords like “ 2012 london olympics” to update sites which bear london olympic information– like this one below:

“Over 7.7 million tickets will be going on sale for the london olympics in the summer of 2012. I hope with that many people, they will have a very good plan for transportation. I found out that each ticket that you purchase will also include free travel on public transportation in London for the day of that olympic event, to encourage spectators to use the public transportation system and take in all the sights & cultural events going on throughout the city. This is a good plan as long as the public systems can handle the large crowds. If so, then things should work out well.”

emerging markets
Because I also want to know more about emerging global markets, I also search about these using keywords like “ world markets”. And luckily, I usually get useful information like what I have just retrieved below:

“The way that the world markets are structured means that we actually need the world markets in places such as India and China to develop in business skills such as manufacturing, design and joint venturing. The world markets are split up in to different areas or zones and as the richer economies continue to innovate we see the other (less rich) world economies taking on tasks such as co development and low cost manufacturing. This contributes to the overall cycle of the generation of goods and services and the consumption of those same products. “

internet marketing software
And since Internet marketing is very essential for global business I also search for additional information about it using keywords like “Internet affiliate marketing” and retrieve useful ideas just like what I have below:

“Have you ever heard of affiliate programs? These are forms of Internet advertising that rewards the affiliates for generating traffic to the advertiser or for other transactions. The advertiser pays the affiliate to place a link on their site, and the affiliate sends web traffic to the advertiser in return. Simply put, it is about paying commissions to individuals who help you make sales. It’s that simple. However, Internet affiliate marketing has its ups and downs. It could be draining if you are not prepared with updated information and the technical how-tos. But this article’s core objective is to reach out to you and not to badmouth affiliate marketing.”

I hope this strategy will help for my global business success.

Choosing Exotic Gifts For Your Wife

Monday, September 8th, 2008

If you wanted to buying something that’s special for your wife, a set of intimate lingerie is something that required a careful thought before making a selection. The single most sexy gifts that any man can buy for his wife is undoubtedly a pair of exotic lingerie. Every woman loves getting gifts, especially from her love one. However, it’s very easy to think about what you would love to see your girlfriend wearing, and how sexy you think that she’d look in that exotic lingerie, but you have to consider couple points. First of all thing is whether or not she’d feel comfortable wearing the particular style of sensual lingerie, and secondly, a lot less important issue is how she’d feel about you buying them for her.

If your wife isn’t exactly comfortable with wearing sexy lingerie, then perhaps selecting lingerie that is more conservative - such as one of the sexy lingerie matching sets that have a sexy bra and perhaps a sexy thong or g-string would be a good way to test the water and see how receptive she is to getting lingerie as a gift.

If you already know that she is keen on the feel of ladies sexy underwear next to her skin, then you could consider buying her sensual lingerie, or even some vinyl lingerie. Try to hold back on the latex and leather lingerie until you’re absolutely sure that she’ll love it!

There are a few romantic occasions that widely acceptable to buy intimate gifts, such as Valentine’s Day or to celebrate a special anniversary in your relationship. These are the time of the year when it is usually acceptable to give a woman a hot sexy gift, but if you’re a little uncertain as to how she will receive such a present, package it with a stuffed toy and deliver it with your tongue firmly in your cheek (not hers!).

Tasteful and chic is the best way of thinking for your sexy lingerie shopping for your loved one. Think about the clothes she usually wear, and the type of underwear she usually wears. Even if she doesn’t usually wear exotic lingerie it doesn’t mean she won’t wear it - just that she hasn’t yet!

If you buy sensual lingerie for her, and she love them, then the door is open and you can explore the huge range of intimate lingerie. The best place to do that is online lingerie store.

Another reason that your partner doesn’t wear sexy lingerie could be that she isn’t comfortable in sexy lingerie because she doesn’t feel she looks sexy - this is going to be up to you to reassure her how sexy she is.

It is very important that you reassure her that you find her sexy every so often(not just when you want some). A really good time would be right after your intimate time is over. You have to mean what you say; women know when you really mean what you said.

Once she does feel secure in her sexuality and realized that what she’s wearing affects you, you’ll find that she’ll be more than happy to indulge even your most sexual fantasy dreams!

Concerning War

Monday, September 8th, 2008

The following is the comment of Jean de Eueil,whose father and uncles fell at Agincourt, and who was himself a distinguished captain in later years : ” The night before, they (the French) lay in a field where they were up to the knees in mud, and next morning they marched across a stretch of ploughed land to meet their enemy.

When it came to fighting they arrived few in numbers, one after another, and were out of breath, and were discomfited. And therefore, a corps on foot should never march, but should always await the enemy standing still. For when they march, as they are not all of the same strength, they cannot keep their order. A mere bush is enough to break them up. A power which marches against another power is undone, unless God help it. So let him who can, choose a good position and without loss of time.”

Elsewhere Bueil considers the question how a leader is to act if his enemy adopts these defensive tactics. He should select the best position he can find near them, and get command of the river, if there is one ; for it will not only serve as a protection, and to water the horses and cattle, but it makes provisioning easier. He should deprive the enemy of these facilities, and should make raids round them to intercept their supplies, so that they may be forced to move, and either to attack him on his chosen ground, or give him the opportunity of attacking them on the march.

If the enemy are weaker than he and are likely to escape, and the leader therefore decides to attack them in position, he should choose the weakest side, and make feigned attacks on other sides. Instead of closing with the enemy, he should force them to close with him, or be killed off man by man; and he should leave their rear open for flight, for the cowards will make off and will dismay the brave, and the fugitives can be overtaken afterwards. Men-at-arms should be formed in a solid mass (grosne toarhe) to enable them to break through the enemy’s corps ; for a corps broken through is lost, and if it is thin it is easy to break. Horsemen should never be put in front of foot, but always on the wings.

Such were some of the lessons learnt in the forty years of war which ended in the second expulsion of the English from France. The French had found it necessary to follow the English example, and the war was carried on, not by feudal armies, but by bands of paid soldiers under chiefs who had a contract with the king. In time of truce their pay ceased, and they went in search of employment and plunder. After the peace of Bretigny (1360) several thousand men who had been in English pay found their way to Italy, where they were known as the White Company, and played a part in the wars between Florence and her neighbours. Their leader, John Hawkwood, won great renown, and founded a school of condottieri. Similarly, after the truce of 1444, the Dauphin (afterwards Louis XI.), to relieve France of the burden of the Ecorcheurs, as some of these bands were significantly called, led an army of them against the Swiss. Bueil, who had learnt his trade under La Hire, and had become a leading captain, was in immediate command of the troops which won the battle of St. Jacob. Some 2000 Swiss rashly crossed the Birs, and assailed a force many times their own strength.’ They were cut to pieces, but at a cost which led Louis to hold them in great respect ever after.

It was on the return of the bands from this campaign that Charles VII. entered upon a reorganisation which laid the foundation of the French standing army. Fifteen companies of 100 ” lances ” each, making a total of 9000 men, were taken into permanent pay as regular troops {compagnies d’ordonnance), and the rest of the men were disbanded.

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Was there ever a time that you’ve let go of a critical telephone call in your cellular phone, and unfortunately, you never had the time to save the person’s phone number? It does happen, and sometimes the phone number can belong to long-lost relative,business partner,a concerned citizen, or a friend. In other words, it’s crucial, but you don’t have it. Luckily, we have what we call cell phone finder..

A lot of people are in doubt if it’s really possible that you can obtain do a phone number reverse search. The answer is yes, but you can only do it if you know how to make use of the resources available for you. First, you can check out the free white pages listings. A cell phone finder is extremely useful, especially if the unlisted phone number comes from a landline phone. You can type in the unlisted phone number in the Search bar, and the white page listing website or the reverse phone directory will try to pull whatever information it can obtain from the query.

The search engines, on the other hand, can be very powerful tools too. As you know, there are thousands of pages that are added to their database all the time, and they may contain vital information such as names, addresses, and phone numbers. That’s why it’s highly recommended that you type in the unlisted phone number in the Search bar and see what comes up. You can also use the reverse phone number feature of Yahoo People Search.

What can a cellphone number search absolutely do for you? Practically a lot. First of all, they usually have excellent professional relationships with various telecommunications carriers; thus, there’s a huge possibility that they will be able to get at least some basic data about the owner of the unlisted phone number. This may include the name or the address. They also normally have the equipment that can help them trace the main source of the cellular or landline phone signal, even if it appears to be an international phone number. However, if you’re looking for the most effective method, the one that can give you the most appropriate answer to your question, then you may want to avail of a cellphone number search. This means that you won’t be dealing with any type of automatic generation of lists, where data are just obtained from outside sources. When you make use of a cell phone finder, you would be dealing with an individual or a company who will gather the information for you just by using the unlisted phone number alone.

If you’re currently dealing with a company that has one massive database of various cellular and landline phone numbers, you will not only be able to pull out their basic information such as their names and addresses, but even other personal details like their and carrier details,social security numbers,criminal record, or address history.

These types of cellphone number search techniques, however, may require some fees, which you need to pay before you can use them fully. This is needed, since these companies or people would have to buy the information or even the list from various telecommunications companies and cellular phone carriers. On the other hand, you must not forget too that you have the responsibility of keeping everything with great confidentiality, as some of these information are highly sensitive.
