Professional Harmonic Scalpel Maintenance and Repairs Benefit a Medical Business

If you run a medical business, you'll need proper tools and solutions that will benefit everyone during major and minor treatments. Because typical gadgets and medical solutions can develop flaws over time, proper maintenance and repair services will be required in order to maintain everything that could impact a patient's experience.

Enhanced Customer Service

Families that visit medical facilities always want a high level of customer service, and the best way to ensure rapid results throughout appointment and treatments is by keeping all medical tools in optimum condition. The slightest flaws can affect how quickly medical technicians can complete treatments. For example, if a scalpel is somewhat dull, the process of implementing medical procedures efficiently in a timely manner will be challenging. In order to avoid stressful situations that involve families, harmonic scalpel repair services should be pursued whenever your medical supplies are dinged, dull, warped, or bent.

Increased Safety

When a medical clinic has high safety standards, managers never have to worry about risky situations that could lead to lawsuits. If your business is in the early phases, you'll need to develop strategic policies so that your employees will fully understand the signs that mean that tools must be replaced. When defective supplies aren't repaired, patients who get treatments are at risk, as dull or dinged edges can cause a minor or major injury during the treatment process.

Properly maintained tools can also help employees avoid nicks and cut during treatments that involve kids. Because children usually fear medical gadgets that are pointy or sharp, you'll need to take tactical steps to make typical treatments easier for everyone. Pursuing scalpel repairs is one of the best ways to keep children safe throughout a treatment because most kids will wiggle and wobble while medical procedures are implemented with a tool. If a scalpel is bent or ding, the misaligned portion of the blade could harm kids when they wiggle. However, if all scalpels are strategically honed, technicians can make adjustments efficiently in order to protect kids throughout the treatment process.

By maintaining your medical accessories, you can run your medical business in a professional manner. Along the way, practical polices will needed so that employees can pursue repairs before simple flaws impact procedures that are implemented on a regular basis.

Thoughts of Paper Boats Rain Puddles

Back when I was a child, rain makes me feel excited to make paper boats that I can play with in rain puddles. Looking out my window today, seeing this, brings me back to that time. A time in life where everything just seems to be very easy. My only problem was making sure I have assignments ready for school the next day. 

But life, as we grow older and wiser, gives us more challenges to win, more problems to conquer, and more victories over nemesis.

Nothing to think about when everything is okay in your life. But then again life gives you a challenge then and again.. but of course, it always matters what you do and how you think about them.. if you are a positive person, regardless what happens, you are always a sure winner..

How to Cope with Frustrating Acne

In spite of their best efforts, many people suffer from acne for many years. Acne can be triggered by many factors, including environment, hormones, stress, and diet. Many people try multiple products with little to no success. And, tragically, many people suffer from the anguish of acne for many years of their lives. Fortunately, there have been advances in the technology and knowledge of fighting acne. People no longer have to simply suffer from this common and unpleasant complaint. While it may not be easy, with determination and some know-how, anyone can minimize their acne or stop it outright.

First, look at your diet. One of the most common and yet overlooked acne triggers is dairy. It's still unclear why dairy can cause so much damage to someone's skin. Not everyone is irritated by dairy, but it is probably the most frequently cited cause. Other culprits might be meats, caffeine, or some nuts. An elimination diet can pinpoint your problem, but the safe bet is to try dropping dairy first.

Next, consider adding new products to your acne-fighting regimen. Most people are familiar with salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that helps speed up cell turnover, and benzoyl peroxide, which stops bacteria from causing acne. Used correctly, these two ingredients are the cornerstones of acne treatment. However, if these aren't working, you may want to try a sulfur acne lotion, like one from Dermesse. This sulfur lotion works incredibly fast to dry up existing blemishes, sometimes overnight. By drying up blemishes quickly, people can minimize the potential for scarring and further skin damage. 

Finally, don't be afraid to consult a professional if your acne is out of control of if you just don't feel like fighting alone anymore. Many people suffer for years until they see a doctor. If you're shy about going to the doctor, there are even online dermatology services that can provide a prescription without ever meeting a doctor in person. Your over-the-counter products can work in conjunction with any prescriptions, under the eye of a professional. And your doctor can provide you options that you can't get elsewhere.

There's no need to go through life with the discomfort and annoyance of chronic acne. By changing your diet, trying new products, or even seeing a professional, you can take charge of this problem. Your stubborn acne doesn't stand a chance against you!

Save the Thresher Sharks

How important is our natural environment to you? How important is every stone, grass, weed, sand or water form to you? How important are the trees and the animals that roam the forests as well as the oceans and all its glory? One might respond with a smirk or a sigh to these questions, and just the same, others may just give a non-reactive glance, or simply shrug their shoulders. On the other hand, there are actually a few good men and women who still think something must be done to address situations, issues and concerns regarding the environment, wildlife and our oceans, as well as those that dwell in them.

I came across this petition at Change.org, where the goal is to have 10,000 supporters who will petition the protection of thresher sharks. It may sound a bit odd that they are trying to protect and save the predators of the ocean, but something tells me there is a better explanation for this. For a better perspective on the existence of the said predators of the sea, I have found this very informative information at SlideShare. Here is the link. As for me, I signed the petition, and being the 5350th petitioner/supporter, I am excited to share with you why we have signed up. There is also another petition at Thunderclap, and I joined it too. Here is the link, should you decide to join us..

All beings are important because all of us play a significant part in the world. Animals also have this purpose in mind. If we go back to lessons taught in grade-school, ecosystem and the roles of each individual or beings, animal, plant or mineral play in each other's existence, then we'd realize the value of each being, whether it is a predator or the victim. Furthermore, it is my understanding that all of us play these two significant roles, to different beings around us. In the ocean scene, small fishes are preyed upon and are used as food for the bigger fishes.. And the cycle goes on and on for as long as there are smaller fishes and larger ones. Each has a purpose.

On the contrary, the slaughter of the Thresher Sharks for man's selfish intentions to gain more profit is just so perverse and utterly unjust. I hope you all can join us in this cause. Be one of the 10,000 petition signatories, and make a difference, on or before September 21 to support the proposal for the thresher shark to be listed on Appendix II of the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) at their Conference of Parties (CoP), and shall be given the necessary protection from illegal fishing.

The thresher sharks may be known for its role in the ocean, but truly, if its existence wanes, surely, everything else gets affected. Imagine a world where they wont exist anymore? Do you like it it? Sharks are actually very important as they serve to regulate the fish population in our oceans by removing the sick or weak fishes. They also serve to make sure stingrays do not over populate, as stingrays decimates shellfish population, thus regulating an ecosystem nutrient balance. Sharks also regulate seals population, thereby protecting fish populations in the smaller organism levels. See, everything that sharks represent is balance, and not just the negative stories we hear about shark attacks and everything else. Of course, just like all other species, sharks protect their kind when harmed. Unfortunately for them, human poachers are far more deadly than how sharks are portrayed. But why are there poachers? They exist because traders buy from them shark meat and parts such as shark liver, fins and all others for obvious reasons --- money. And where these products go entails more profit as customers willingly pay high amounts to enjoy such treats.

At some point, I myself am guilty, because there was a time in my life where I have eaten Shark Fin Soup and Shark Fin Dumplings at one of the Chinese restaurants in China Town, when we visited.. A bit pricey but tastes good. And there was also a time when I used Squalene, remember the product? That product that promises liberation from dry skin and is a good moisturizer that comes from Shark Liver.. I was young, carefree and uninformed then. But with all the information we have now, all the reasons and causes and most especially all the harm that using these products mean, that shall, in one way or another, backfire to us humans, there is a need for us to really get involved in just causes to save what is left of the Thresher Sharks. They are also one of the country's treasures that need to be protected from international poachers. The illegal export for shark meat, and parts are still rampant in the black market. And because of its high value, many are still tempted to slaughter them. If we don't act now, I do not know if our grandchildren will still have a chance to see them. 

Let us move hand in hand as we say YES to the Thresher Sharks..  Let us protect them, just as we would protect every dog, cat or bird. The Thresher Shark deserves to live too.

Getting Pregnant with PCOS

Have you ever imagined yourself getting married yet not having kids? A close friend of my aunt once told me that she will no longer marry because she will no longer bear children. She said it will be unfair for her husband. To her, getting pregnant is the most vital reason in getting married. Why get married if you can't bear the fruits of your love. Well, that's her idea and somehow, I understand where she is coming from. She added that taking care of her nieces and nephews may just be what she will do instead of marrying and feel frustrated by not bearing her own kids.

Auntie, as we fondly call her, suffers from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS for short, the most common cause of female infertility, can wreak havoc on a woman’s reproductive system. From the irregular periods and ovulation issues, to the thinning hair, weight gain, acne and excessive hair, PCOS is no fun. Getting pregnant with PCOS can be difficult, but it is definitely possible. Pregnancytips.org suggests that women with PCOS try their best to maintain a healthy weight for the best chance of conceiving. The best way to do that is through healthy diet and exercise. Any weight loss that you can achieve with PCOS will go a long way towards improving your chances of getting pregnant. If lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise changes don’t work, some doctors prescribe a diabetes medication called Metformin to help with insulin resistance. This is considered an “off label” use for this medication, but many doctors think it is a great solution. Just keep in mind that although it can sometimes be harder to get pregnant with PCOS, it is by no means impossible. Women with PCOS just have to try their best to do what they can to improve their fertility in order to boost their chances of getting pregnant.

Bingo is Yet Another Life-saver

Have you recently thought of any activity that could give you a good break from monotonous routine? We have pondered through our years on various activities. To work upon, few would have been acted upon and others would have been just lying somewhere idle in our brains. But, bingo is one of those games that once you feel good about it, there is no turning back.

Recently I had an incident involving bingo. I was quite bored to death at home, the chores were done and I was lying on my bed mulling over what to do next. Out of the blue, I thought it’s been a long time I saw myself in any online bingo site. I listened to my peeps, how they have hit the jackpot after a long time and I fancied to win it as well. So here I am taking a dip in the online bingo world. I admired one site called GameVillage Bingo for not only it’s welcome bonus but also the uniqueness. Here are the things that made me like GameVillage Bingo.

Welcome Bonus

GameVillage Bingo gives a huge welcome bonus of 400% on first deposit and guess what? Your first deposit could be just £5! That’s what I call a sweet deal. On top, newbies get a free spin on Spin the Wheel, it’s a fortune wheel with guaranteed prizes that could be won. Surprise, surprise, they even offer 200% on 2^nd Deposit bonus and 300% Deposit Bonus on 3^rd Deposit. Along with these deposits you choose best bonus offer, it could be either bonus bingo tickets or bonus slot spins. Plus watch out for the various re-deposit bonus specials through out this month.

Games

They provide 75 ball bingo and 90 ball bingo games with their own version. They have a concept of Hotball in Village Inn (75 ball bingo), click on this website link to know more. These hotballs have progressive jackpots and the 90 ball bingo room has supertickets which lets you win more than the prize money, you even the prize of the supertickets. They have also added 80 ball bingo room, which is easy to play and win too.

Music and Forum

Music is my life and Bingo Radio of GameVillage Bingo has just makes everyone’s day. Tune in for non-stop music and you also get to win prizes every Friday night. If you like socialising, GameVillage Bingo Forum is your call then. All players gather along here and discusses everything under the sun.

Folks, this is what I love about playing bingo, you meet new people and you get to know them better too. Playing bingo has definitely been my life saver when I needed a break form other things.

A New Addiction..

We are having a unique OUTREACH Project at our school. It is a livelihood program that we have chunked up to different categories and activities for our Grade 9 students' parents, siblings or guardians. One particular activity is the Soap Making activity which will be on Saturday.

In preparation of the said activity, I had been studying videos and everything else to relearn.. Take note, RE-Learn. hahaha.. Well, I have studied Soap Making through the Alternative Learning Systems ages ago, and not practicing what we have studied somehow makes me a rusty nail. With this new journey though, I feel more empowered because there are so many additions and updates already. What I love is the fact that I am loving it again. Watching the videos makes me addicted to the soap making activity itself. If not for the absence of lye when I went to the store I bought them from years ago, I could already have my first batch by this hour.

By the way, the video I am sharing here is really inspiring. I love these Amish women with their all natural sense. I think I wanna try Marsha's recipe and use them at home. I remember, the soaps I did before were used for laundry and they were good. My father teased me before that I was to open my soap company then. Now I am starting to think things through and maybe I should.. Afterall, I have already fallen in love with it again.

All We Need is Vernel :-)

My sister and I are glad that it's not raining anymore these days. It had been really bad the previous weeks. We were not able to wash a lot of clothes for fear that they may be smelly, even after the wash. It's always good to have clean crisp fresh laundry, especially with huge blankets, pillow cases and bedsheets. The ones that we washed the previous weeks were just the important clothes like uniforms, and clothes that needed immediate action and attention. To make sure they remain fresh after the wash, we use Vernel. 

I first used Vernel in 1999, when I was yet working at the BI in Manila. There, I experienced terrible weather conditions and floods. I have learned to take care of laundry in that really bad situation from my Tita who has lived all her life in Luzon, and when storms come, she has become an expert in taking care of her household without worries. My Tita was even the one who recommended Vernel for me to try. Back then, we transformed the living room and turned it into a fisco of laundry being dried using the electric fans. Oh how the room smelled good, hahaha.. Years after, I took with me what I learned from my Tita and every time it rains here, I could just smile and work up the strategy of drying clothes indoors. With Vernel it is not really a problem.

Vernel Soft Fabric Softener has Soft Touch Technology. It easily disperses in water so you are sure that the fabcon is dissolved properly, thus, all clothes immersed will get equal dose of the fabcon, and not just a few pieces or some parts only. With Vernel, ironing  becomes easier, as the iron will simply glide through the fabric. The most wonderful part is that Vernel eliminates odor causing germs, because of its anti-bacterial properties. So you get long lasting fragrance, which is mild. The scent is mild that you can still use your favorite perfume and not smell like your fabric conditioner. Oh, and the best part, if you use Vernel on Jeans, it has this "hugging effect", like it will hug your back side, as enable you to make your posterior look good. As my daughter would chant, while wearing her Vernel fresh jeans, "I'm sexy.. sexy.. sexy.. sexy..sexy love".. Hahahaha..

Usually, with soft fabrics, we wouldn't be able to tell if it's really the fabcon that works or it's really the garment. But with Vernel, jeans become soft that your curves can't help but show---

Anyway, with Vernel on clothes, it is not only the fabric that hugs you, it's also your family and friends that will love to hug you for your fresh, mild scent.. 

Wanna hug and be hugged too? Use Vernel, hahahaha

Goodbye Robin Williams

It's such a loss in the movie industry-- Robin William's passing. I have always liked his movies. No. All his movies, including those where only his voice is featured, I love. I have always admired the fact that each of his movies and every character that he portrayed touched the innermost of my being, as much as it did other people's. He is quite extraordinary in that sense. Not to mention, he was a very good actor that one would think the movie is not just a movie but a window to another person's life, and the one watching is a witness or part of it. 

Three movies of Robin Williams that I will never forget are Patch Adams, Mrs. Doubtfire and of course, Bicentennial Man. 

Even though he is already gone, watching his movies will seem like he is just there, and we await his next film. His last one that I will be waiting to see is Night at the Museum 3.. I am sure it will be a hit.. 

Goodbye Robin. We may not understand your reason for leaving us, but the best part of it is that, you have given us a chance to talk about serious matters that may affect someone we know or close to us. Thank you for making us laugh and cry and learn, and feel. You will be missed. 

To the Williams family, our heartfelt condolence.
