Maintain A Healthy Lawn With The Right Soil Nutrient Level

Monday, August 27th, 2007

By Jack Greenwood Ensuring your lawn receive the right amount of nutrients very important. However, many lawn owners neglect about this aspect of lawn care and only take action when their lawn grasses and plants start to wither. You can determine if your lawn is having the right nutrients by doing a pH test on your soil. It is advisable to get a soil test lab to do the testing, as the result is much more accurate and reliable. However, if cost is a concern, you can also do it yourself by purchasing a D-I-Y soil test kit from the nursery. If the test result showed that the nutrient levels are below what they should be, then you should fertilize your grasses. Be careful not to over fertilize your lawn as excessive fertilizing can cause your lawn to be burnt. Adding compost can help increase the nutrient level but the release of nutrients is rather slow. You can also use inorganic fertilizers to increase the nutrients level. These commercial fertilizers are usually made up of three main nutrients needed for healthy lawn growth. They are nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Each has its own purpose. Nitrogen is responsible for giving your grass a deep green color as well as promoting grass growth. Phosphorous is required for healthy root growth and potassium for stress resistance. Of the three nutrients, nitrogen counts the most. However, excessive nitrogen can burn your lawn and cause pollution. Thus you must ensure your fertilizer mix has a balance of all three nutrients. When purchasing fertilizers, look for the nutrient mix numbers on the packaging. The numbers are usually in the form of N-P-K (N for nitrogen, P for phosphorous and K for potassium). You will need to water your lawn after applying these inorganic fertilizers or you risk getting your lawn burnt. You should already know the area of your lawn. If not, spend some time to measure and calculate your lawn before you start applying any fertilizer. In fact, many aspect of lawn care require this information and it make sense to get as exact as possible in your lawn area calculation. You will find the ratio of nutrients to land area listed on the bag of fertilizers you purchase. The rate and timing of fertilization also affect the health of your lawn. Some soils require only fertilization in the fall while other may need four to six applications per year. In general, the best time to fertilize is in the fall as the lawn can store the nutrients for use in the winter periods. You should keep a lawn care journal and record the time of fertilizing, the type and amount of fertilizer used as well as the result you have. This will help you fine-tune your lawn care effort and be as efficient as possible.

Nursing Shortage Causes Concern About The Future Of Healthcare

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

By Terry McDermott America is in the midst of a nursing shortage that is expected to get worse as baby boomers age and the need for health care increases. Complicating the nursing shortage problem is the fact that nursing schools and universities across the country are having difficulty maintaining enrollment levels that still are not sufficient to meet the projected demand for nursing care. Based on a recent survey, it is common knowledge that there is a nursing shortage and this is viewed as a serious issue. The study revealed that 75% of Americans think that the nursing shortage is a very real and very important health care concern. The general view is that the nursing shortage will have a negative effect on health care services. The poll indicates that 81 percent of the population is acutely aware of the nursing shortage and fully 65 percent believe that the nursing shortage is nearing crisis levels. The survey also found that, despite the nursing shortage most Americans are confident that nurses’ opinions on medical issues are highly credible and that the nursing profession is generally respected and admired. Because of the nursing shortage there are many more nursing positions available than can be filled. This is despite the fact that average nurse salaries match up quite well with other professions. Many potential solutions, such as travel nursing, are being developed to address the current nursing shortage. The position of travel nurse was created more than 20 years ago in order to address shortfalls in staffing in states that experienced dramatic swings in seasonal population. Now, being a travel nurse is regarded as operating in a specialized nursing category and has become a crucial factor in potential solutions to the worsening nursing shortage. Becoming a travel nurse opens the door to a world of possibilities. Agencies that specialize in travel nurse placement will help you locate a variety of travel nurse positions in areas of the U.S in which you have an interest. A travel nurse assignment will normally last for about 90 days but may continue for up to six months. After selecting the region or state you then must decide which travel nurse position you will accept. It is entirely up to you which type of program and which type of medical facility you will join on your travel nurse adventure. The compensation for a travel nurse is well above average and is attracting more nurses into the travel nurse profession. The salary or a travel nurse is well above the norm. What’s more, the travel nurse package may include complimentary housing. Plus, travel expenses may also be covered. A travel nurse will also receive generous benefits such as health insurance or a retirement plan, if they are working with a good travel nurse agency Most travel nurse assignments provide a substantial bonus upon completion of atour. The collective compensation for a travel nurse is far greater than permanent, local nursing positions. In many cases being a travel nurse can result in a six figure annual income. Considering the severe nursing shortage, a qualified nurse can fill a crucial need and be handsomely compensated for it. J. Terrence McDermott is the administrator of Travel Nurse Source, at http://www.travelnursesource.com, a resource center for the travel nurse industry. Travel Nurse Source helps identify medical staffing needs and find qualified nurses to meet those needs.

New Way To Shampoo

Friday, August 24th, 2007

By Lisa Chambers I am definitely not a big fan of many of the shampoos and conditioners on the market today because of the silicones now commonly used. These silicones are added to give the appearance of soft and shiny hair by coating the hair shaft. It basically reflects light and gives it a silky “feel”, but silky glistening that you’re feeling and seeing is NOT your hair actually becoming softer or shiner. Some companies even use the theory that these silicones protect your hair- which in a sense, it does. Yet, at the same time, it is also creating a barrier so that your scalp can’t breathe and your hair can’t absorb the natural oils produced by the scalp. These natural oils are important if you desire truly healthy and strong hair. It can also sometimes play a part in hair loss or excess shedding of the hair. Trust me- I used to swear by some of the more expensive brand conditioners years ago, until I read an article about people trying shampoo bars and vinegar rinses instead. I gave it a shot, and to my surprise the giant wads of hair mangled in my hair brush gradually got smaller and smaller. I’m finding years later because of my awareness of this subject I have more of a fierce mane now than I did in my younger days! Now I have embraced the fact that not everyone will welcome a complete vinegar rinse method or change over to soap based shampoo bars. It can take a long time for not only the person to get used to, but also their hair. These natural methods work wonders but there could be several weeks of devastating hair days in between as the hair adjusts, and on certain hair types it could be far worse than others! Some people just may not have the time, in the commonly busy lifestyles our society is used to today, to put into mixing whatever concoctions in question before hopping in the shower. I realized there had to be a solution somewhere in between, and I think I have a few ideas that might help. Following these simple steps may help you get luscious hair while taking a baby step into embracing the more natural. First, ditch the conditioners! As I said, those silicones won’t be your friend years down the road. We have to learn to embrace our hairs’ natural oils as a means of conditioning. In my experimenting, I found my hair to actually feel better and more balanced by using a more moisturizing shampoo than simply conditioning afterword. Using a conditioner after seemed to weigh my hair down more. Also, learn to read your shampoo labels. Anything that ends in “-cone” is likely to be a form of silicone. Now it’s time to learn how to shampoo. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need an abundance of lather to clean. Use smaller amounts of shampoo than you usually do and aim for the scalp and hairline. This will help keep your hair from appearing dingy or greasy while leaving some of your natural oils at the tip of your hair, where breakage and drying is most prone. Now it’s time to play!!! Yes, we’re going to have some fun with our shampoo! For those with busy lifestyles, which is the main reason I think people have a hard time giving up shampoo, it’s a lot easier to mix a concoction and leave it by your shower than it is to have to prepare for each shower. What you add and how much is dependent on your hair type. They key is to start small- remember you can’t take out what you already put in the bottle. Start with just a few drops of a nourishing oil, vegetable glycerine, or a healthful extract for extra nutrients and shake up your bottle. That’s it. You’d be surprised how much even just a few drops of a nice oil to your shampoo can leave your hair! Begin with “lighter” oils too, and you can work your way up until you find a nice balance that leaves your hair with the desired conditioning in the end. Here’s some ideas for ingredients that you can add to your shampoo in order of “light” to “heavier”. “Heavy” ingredients will give more moisturizing and conditioning results, but may weight your hair down depending on your hair type - remember to work your way up! Extracts- Rosemary, chamomile, and grapefruit are examples of extracts that are provide antioxidants and a nice touch of shine to the hair. Essential Oils- Most essential oils tend to be on the “light” side and many have various positive effects on the hair. Some of the best include rosemary, ylang, cedarwood, peppermint, orange…. the list could go on and on! Light oils- Sunflower, safflower, jojoba, sweet almond oil, and fractionated coconut oil are examples of lighter oils you can use for conditioning. Heavy but nourishing oils- Avocado, olive, and castor oil are massively enriching ingredients that could be added, but you want to go sparingly until you know how much your hair really needs! Natural vegetable glycerine- The ultimate in moisturizing because it acts as a natural “humectant”, meaning it draws moisture from the air to the skin or hair. However, too much glycerin can leave a film on your hair and give it a waxy sort of feel. (That is the one drawback of soap based shampoo bars and why vinegar rinses are recommended after using them.) MOST important tip of all- Do NOT add anything such as milk, juice, or anything water based to your shampoo unless you plan to keep it in the refrigerator in between use! Water based products already contain preservatives in the correct amount. Adding more moisture or anything perishable could invite bacteria or mold, which we definitely don’t want to smear anywhere on our bodies! An occasional vinegar rinse for your hair in the very least , even if once a month, is recommended no matter what hair regimen you use. Vinegar acts as a conditioner by smoothing the hair shaft and help break down excess build-up, whether it be natural glycerine or those horrid silicones. By smoothing the hair shaft without stripping the hair, if will make your hair actually shiner and less prone to breakage. Now as for me, personally, I am sticking to my vinegar and shampoo bars. Not only do I feel better about making a step in favor of the environment (most store bought shampoos and soaps contain sodium laurel sulfate, which is NOT environmentally friendly), but I am quite enjoying the effects of my faster growing hair while needing trimmings less frequently. However, different people have different tolerances and preferences- which I can understand and completely respect. That’s why I have been experimenting with these ideas and sharing them, in hopes to give others possible tips and ideas to find their personal balance between modern and natural living.

Ultralight Helicopter for Sheer Fun Thrill and Excitement

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

By Low Jeremy Each one of us dream of flying. But turning this dream into reality may be a little difficult and costly. This is, if we are still living several decades ago- when riding a helicopter costs too much or fly by a plane needs to have a purpose. Today, the story remains the same. Riding on a helicopter still costs too much and flying on a plane is still expensive. Well not at all. Actually, some of todays aircraft can give you the best flight of your life. Not because you are served with the most delightful meal. Not because you are seating on a couch while flying. And definitely not because you are flying 28,000 feet above the ground. But because you experience the thrill, excitement and fun as you take the stick and fly at your own. Yes, you read it right. Fly on your own! Development of helicopters plus the ambition of companies as well as individuals led to the invention of ultralight helicopter. An ultralight helicopter is flying machine (it really flies by the way) that usually spans between 12 feet and 25 feet with small fuselage for 1 or 2 passengers. It varies depending on the weight. Usually, ultralight helicopters weight between 150-190 lbs., unmanned. Ultralight helicopter comes in two forms: the ready to fly and the kit. Ready to fly of course is easy to understand. The kit may be a little too hard to swallow (at least for some). The Mosquito is one of the more popular brands of ultralight helicopter. It looks like a miniature helicopter due to its size. But what makes it different from the rest is that it is only made to seat one person. Wondering where the novice would seat? This is where excitement would come. Anyone who wishes to learn on a one-seater ultralight helicopter must learn to fly on their own. It can fly with top speed of 90mph and as high as 12,000 feet. Or if you simply dont have enough guts yet to fly on your own, there are other ultralight helicopters where you can stay and remain as the passenger and let your flight or an expert do all the maneuvers. You can enjoy the thrill of flying on an ultralight helicopter on some parks that offer ultralight helicopter tours. You can also purchase one for your personal use at the price similar to that of a family sedan. This content is provided by Low Jeremy and may be used only in its entirety with all links included.

Conservation

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Briscoe White In 1988, almost 20 years ago, I wrote these words: there has been a great deal of media coverage recently on such issues as the breakdown of the ozone layer, the growing problems associated with waste disposal, the damaging effects of acid rain. Although none of these problems are new, they are finally coming to the forefront of the American conscience. I think I spoke too soon. Environmental issues are now in the forefront; not a day goes by that we dont hear about emissions, compromised air, water and soil, global warming.However, I am not sure that we are the ones to care. As Aldo Leopold pointed out in his work, A Sand County Almanac, the prevention and solution to environmental problems depends on individuals adhering to a land ethic that reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a conviction of individual responsibility for the heath of the land. Health is the capacity of the land for self-renewal. Conservation is our effort to understand and preserve this capacity. As I said twenty years ago, the time of armchair concern is gone; we must accept responsibility for the health of the land, and involve ourselves in some aspect of the conservation effort. Involvement does not mean that you have to take on the burden of every environmental issue; simply saving newspapers for recycling is involvement. There are so many areas of our lives where a simple adaptation in lifestyle results in a profound impact on the environment. We need to understand how we affect the land, and the lands ability to renew. In 1985, Briscoe White opened The Growers Exchange in an abandoned Texaco station on a busy urban street corner in Richmond, Virginia. The facility has grown over the years, and contactis now 5 distinct growing environments with 5 acres under cover. Briscoe has over 25 years of gardening experience.

Herbal Antidepressants - Hope or Hype?

Monday, August 20th, 2007

By Athlyn Green Herbal antidepressants are becoming increasingly popular because of reduced risk of side effects and minimal, if any, withdrawal effects. But are they all they are cracked up to be? Can nonprescription natural treatments offer the same benefits as conventional prescription medication? Is antidepressant herbal medicine valuable for treatment of depression? It is helpful to understand what causes depression. Neurotransmitters or chemical messengers in the brain transmit information across the neurons or nerve cells. When these chemical messengers become compromised, depression can result. In treating depression, herbal antidepressants work to strengthen weak signals by raising levels of certain neurotransmitters and act to improve processing of these signals by the neurons. Underlying nutritional deficiencies can also aggravate depression. Your nutritional state can have a serious impact on brain functioningin fact, some scientists feel that a diet lacking in essential nutrients can lead to serious brain diseases. In sum, most neurological problems result from two conditions that impact the brain: chemical imbalances and nutritional deficiencies, having their genesis in poor nutrition, environmental and food pollutants, and stress-related factors. Antidepressant herbal medicine incorporates specific and nutritional elements that have been scientifically proven to offer substantial benefits to physical and mental health. Natural science has uncovered methods to rebalance nutrient intake and repair essential neurotransmitters, providing the brain with components it needs to achieve normal functioning. When this balance is restored, people think more positively and negativity and anxiety vanish. Herbal antidepressants draw from an impressive list of ingredients to either prevent or counteract depression. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes, specialty supplements and herbal extracts, such as vitamins B1 and B6, passionflower and chamomile, ginkgo biloba and Siberian ginseng, act respectively to combat anxiety and depression. SAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) acts on the brain in a similar manner as prescription drugs. It can improve intellectual performance and reduce depression and is critical in the manufacturing of important brain compounds, such as neurotransmitters. Huperzine A is an alkaloid moss from China. It improves memory, cognitive and behavioral functions, while protecting brain tissue. 5-HTP (5-hydroxytryptophan) significantly improves anxiety and depression (comparable to conventional medications). It has been clinically shown to increase production of serotonin and has been used for more than 30 years. Phosphatidyl choline is essential in forming acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is beneficial for depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. It increases central neurologic activity, brain energy, short-term memory, vocabulary recollection, and mood. As can be seen, antidepressant herbal medicine targets the brain and its systems, achieving similar effects as those obtained through use of traditional medicines, offering realistic and tangible hope for treatment of depression. You can use herbal antidepressants with confidence, when seeking relief from troublesome symptoms. As in all cases, it is important to discuss treatment strategies with your doctor or a nutritionally oriented physician. He can advise you in using antidepressant herbal medicine. Demystifying causes of depression and knowing how natural remedies counter effects of brain malfunctioning provides real hope, not hype to sufferers. Herbal antidepressants meet the challenge. Athlyn Green is an avid health enthusiast with an interest in natural remedies for treatment of health disorders. She has contributed to Antidepressant Herbal Medicine, a section of http://www.beat-your-depression.com dedicated to natural treatments and prescription drug alternatives for this disorder.

Weight Loss vs. Safe Weight Loss - Points to Consider

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

By Anastasia Phocas Why are you limping? You dont seem to have bare minimum appetite to do your job? And why are you growing so thin daybyday? Maam I am actually on a diet and most of the time I skip my meals. Within a week I have almost shaken off 9-10 pounds. When I stood on the weighing machine I just couldnt believe my eyes, but now I really feel tired even when I sit idle. Where did I go wrong? George you were actually driven by the wild desire of losing weight by whatever way that may be. But dear there is a difference between weight loss and safe weight loss. You underwent the whole phenomenon omitting the safe part of it. Safe weight loss includes exercises, dieting, swimming, cycling but without giving up eating. For more info visit www.bestdietadvice.info Do you know it is your eating habit that shapes your figure and physique? What you eat and how much you eat actually are to be considered. The secret behind good health and great physique lays in the ratio of how much calories you intake and how much you burn. The neutral effect has to be attained for maintaining an ideal weight. This is the key factor that shapes the basis of safe weight loss. Do you think a weight-lifter skips his/her meals? Are you crazy? The amount of energy required by them to do that bulk of labor is immense. If they dont have that much intake of calories, records cant be created out of the blue. Now the importance lies in the ingredients of their diet. Similarly when you are planning for a weight loss safely, you have to follow an order of foods you consume. It is necessary to give up high fatty foods but just dont give up fats and carbohydrates, the basic energy giving nutrients from your diet. Theres a tendency in most of you that once you start dieting, your protein and mineral intake gets higher. This is also a wrong practice. Sometimes the results turn boomerang. Because you dont achieve the balance in calorie intake and the calorie burnt you lose your weight loss goal. George this is exactly what you have done. You have missed the energy providers in your foods and unnecessarily lifted the burden of rigorous exercises to reduce your waistline. In no time at all you have seen the difference but in the rush you have lost the liveliness in you. Is this what you really wanted? Wouldnt it have been better if you had followed the safe weight loss tips? Anastasia Phocas is a proud contributing author. Find more articles here. For more info visit Diet Advice or Weight Loss.

Spinal Fusion Surgery - Destination India

Friday, August 17th, 2007

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dheeraj_Bojwani] Dheeraj Bojwani The advanced medical treatments available in India have made it a popular destination for medical tours. People, who cannot afford the cost of spine surgeries in the West, or patients from underdeveloped countries where advanced medical facilities are not available, head for the super specialty hospitals in India to avail the cost effective and quality treatments offered. At the Joint Commission International accredited Hospitals in India, the Department of Neuro and Spine Surgery offers the latest in craniotomy, Trans sphenoid operations, treatments for brain and neck tumors and lesions, and more. Indian Hospital provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for patients with disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nervous system.

In India the latest techniques like minimally invasive spine surgery, Expandable devices for Lumbar Spine Fusion are routinely carried out with results at par with the best centers globally.Indian expert Neurologists and Neurosurgeons are supported by the most extensive neuro-diagnostic and imaging facilities including Asia’s most advanced MRI and CT technology. Along with providing general diagnostic X-ray imaging, Indian Brain and Spine Hospitals offers a magnitude of imaging services like EEG, EMG, Sensation 10 CT Scanner, Functional MRI with Spectro-scopy, OPMI Multivision etc. What is Spinal Fusion? A spinal fusion is simply the uniting of two bony segments, whether a fracture or a vertebral joint. The reason for instrumentation with rods and screws is to act as and ‘internal cast’ to stabilize the vertebra until the fusion, or bony re-growth, can occur. Spinal fusion is a “welding” process by which two or more of the small bones (vertebrae) that make up the spinal column are fused together with bone grafts and internal devices such as metal rods to heal into a single solid bone. The surgery of Spinal Fusion eliminates motion between vertebrae segments, which may be desirable when motion is the cause of significant pain. It also stops the progress of a spinal deformity such as scoliosis. A spinal fusion takes away some of the patient’s spinal flexibility. Most spinal fusions involve relatively small spinal segments and thus do not limit motion very much. Spinal fusion is used to treat: Injuries to spinal vertebrae. Protrusion and degeneration of the cushioning disk between vertebrae (sometimes called slipped disk or herniated disk). Abnormal curvatures (such as scoliosis or kyphosis). Weak or unstable spine caused by infections or tumors. The important back pain symptoms could signal nerve damage or other serious medical problems. There are many other conditions that could be causing these problems, but an early and accurate diagnosis is vital for successful treatment. Low back pain can often be attributed to complex origins and symptoms, and it does not discriminate. It can originate from identified muscle trauma, or an unknown non-traumatic event. Low back pain can also begin in other regions of the body and eventually attack the muscles or other structures in the lower back. Sometimes low back pain can even begin in the nerves or nervous system. Other origins for low back pain are post neural difficulties, congenital disorders, trauma, infections, degenerative disorders, inflammatory diseases, circulatory disorders or any of other 30 additional causes. Different types of spinal fusion surgery. Anterior interbody spinal fusion is performed via an incision in a patient’s abdomen. The vertebral bodies are approached from the front and a femoral ring (cadaver bone), or cylindrical cage, is placed between the two vertebral bodies. The femoral ring or cage instrumentation is filled with bone graft usually obtained from the patient’s hip (iliac crest). If fusion is successful, motion between the vertebrae will stop and any pain caused by abnormal motion between those vertebrae will no longer exist. Posterior spinal fusion, sometimes referred to as a poster lateral spinal fusion, is performed from an incision made in the back. The procedure entails roughening the surfaces of the transverse processes and inserting bone graft between the transverse processes. The bone is usually obtained from a patient’s hip. If fusion is successful, motion between the vertebrae will stop and any pain caused by abnormal motion between those vertebrae will no longer exist. Because of the limited supply of a patient’s own bone and possible donor site pain or morbidity, there is a continuing search for ideal bone graft substitute How Is Spinal Fusion surgery done? There are many surgical approaches and methods to fuse the spine, and they all involve placement of a bone graft between the vertebrae. The spine may be approached and the graft placed from the back (posterior approach), from the front (anterior approach) or by a combination of both. In the neck, the anterior approach is more common; lumbar and thoracic fusion is usually performed posteriorly. The ultimate goal of fusion is to obtain a solid union between two or more vertebrae. Fusion may or may not involve use of supplemental hardware (instrumentation) such as plates, screws and cages. Instrumentation is sometimes used to correct a deformity, but usually is just used as an internal splint to hold the vertebrae together to while the bone grafts heal. Whether or not hardware is used, it is important that bone or bone substitutes be used to get the vertebrae to fuse together. The bone may be taken either from another bone in the patient (autograft) or from a bone bank (allograft). Fusion using bone taken from the patient has a long history of use and results in predictable healing. Autograft is currently the “gold standard” source of bone for a fusion. Allograft (bone bank) bone may be used as an alternative to the patient’s own bone. Although healing and fusion is not as predictable as with the patient’s own bone, allograft does not require a separate incision to take the patient’s own bone for grafting, and therefore is associated with less pain. Smoking, medications you are taking for other conditions and your overall health can affect the rate of healing and fusion, too. Currently, there is promising research being done involving the use of synthetic bone as a substitute for either autograft or allograft. It is likely that synthetic bone substitutes will eventually replace the routine use of autograft or allograft bone. With some of the newer “minimally invasive” surgical techniques currently available, fusion may sometimes be done through smaller incisions. The indications for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) are identical to those for traditional large incision surgery; however, it is important to realize that a smaller incision does not necessarily mean less risk involved in the surgery.
