The journey of the traditional black and yellow taxis is now coming to an end. The era is over and today people are switching over from normal taxis to high-end cabs.People are now more willing to have comfort and luxury wherever they go, including the cabs they travel. Some of the cabs providers even have a tie-up with corporates and multinationals that requires high-end cabs for their employees.

The US FDA announced on June 17, 2008 that a "black box" warning should be added on the labels of conventional antipsychotics such as haldol and thorazine, which are sometimes used to pacify dementia patients who become aggressive or disturbed. I am immensely happy knowing the US FDA's new warning. Use of conventional antipsychotics for elderly dementia patients has taken away lives of a few pa

A sub-prime mortgage is a bad credit mortgage, designed for people who have trouble getting a home mortgage because their loan request does not fit the conventional lender guidelines.

Heat therapy, i.e., the application of heat to the body or to a part of it, for obtaining health benefits has been in use in different forms since ages- be it in the form of the humble hot-water bottle (for local application) or the sophisticated infrared sauna (for whole body treatment).Infrared sauna is a unique type of sauna where deep-penetrating therapeutic heat is generated directly on the b

The always excellent Benoit 'Fiberevoltion' Felten points us to a piece of market research from Dutch consultancy Stratix. Here are some additional points to make - very much the creeds of this blog. Most interesting to me is to see how conventional wisdom can be contradicted: structural separation is good for business and investment; more than one FTTH network is feasible. FTTH is a community

At the first sign of discomfort, many folks will initially head to the conventional home back pain remedies to try to find relief. This may include an over the counter pain medicine, such as ibuprofen or naproxen. Either of these medications are a good choice because they are equipped to relieve inflammation as well as pain.

Conventional agricultural practices, adopted in large part over the past 50 years, have stripped the minerals essential for healthy crops from the soil, necessitating the increasing use of artificial help to replace what has been lost.

Remember, not too long ago actually, when every time you heard a vibrant new band you discovered they came from North America, Canada to be precise. It may have cover a huge landmass but in terms of population there are quite a few relatively dwarf-like European countries that eclipse. It seems the Canadian Government wisely decided to invest in the Arts and the result was an explosion in stellar outfits (2005 being particularly impressive). Things have certainly slowed but every few weeks something interesting tends to appear from that neck of the woods. Young and Sexy are from Vancouver and have recorded 3 records since 2003, the latest of which ‘The Arc’ will appear next month. ‘Conventional Lullabyes’ is taken from 2006’s ‘Panic When You Find It’ and reveals the soft indi

Reward and recognition programs have become somewhat reflexive in business. Similar to a Doctor hitting your knee with his/her little rubber hammer and looking for the involuntary response from the patellar tendon - businesses install and conduct incentive and reward programs without really thinking through the impact they will, should and could have. Designing programs in this way leads to poor performance and lost money. A perfect example is this article on PsyBlog - Do...

"Let's 'Surge' Some MoreBy MICHAEL YONApril 11, 2008; Page A17It is said that generals always fight the last war. But when David Petraeus came to town it was senators – on both sides of the aisle – who battled over the Iraq war of 2004-2006. That war has little in common with the war we are fighting today.I may well have spent more time embedded with combat units in Iraq than any other journalist alive. I have seen this war – and our part in it – at its brutal worst. And I say the transformation over the last 14 months is little short of miraculous.The change goes far beyond the statistical decline in casualties or incidents of violence. A young Iraqi translator, wounded in battle and fearing death, asked an American commander to bury his heart in America. Iraqi special forces unit

It is a good practice for everyone (staff, Manager, CEO or even un-employed one) to view a condition or situation for a specific issue from the opposite stand. When a common logic says it is clear, we naturally think it is clear absolutely, how if we re-think it, and ask yourself a single question; “is it really clear?” You may discover something different as you go for deeper, some un-discovered

Like anorexia, bulimia is an eating disorder that most often strikes young women. Theories about what causes the condition abound.

There are many ways in which you can borrow money. Loans, overdrafts, credit cards, etc., can be used according to your individual needs. Banks provide overdraft facilities to select customers only. This money can be used for personal as well as commercial purposes. More often than not, it is the businessmen who use this type of funding. Credit cards are another popular method of borrowing money. However, credit card companies charge high interest rates if you withdraw money or keep your credit card bills pending for a long time. Many people prefer borrowing money from within their social circle, since your friends, relatives or parents might be able to help you financially; but social borrowing has some disadvantages as it might spoil your relationship with people from whom you borrow.

There are many bad things that you can do with your money or to your money. There are also many goods things you can do with or to your money. What should you do and what should you avoid?(1) Plan Your Finances – Budgets are very hard to stick to and can cause many headaches, however, planning the big purchases can help protect you from a financial blunder. Always plan out the big purchases before reaching a final decision. This will not guarantee that you made a wise purchase, but it will make you think out and research all the details before concluding one way or the other.(2) Always Use Interest Bearing Accounts When Possible – Many banks offer interest bearing checking accounts, and various other interest accounts. While deciding between investment opportunities or for the money you keep in an account to pay the bills, collecting interest on this idle money can quickly add up. You will not become rich, but this is the easiest, risk free money you will ever collect.(3) Div

Many patients with diabetes say that the inconvenience and discomfort of constant therapeutic vigilance, particularly multiple daily insulin injections, has as much impact on their quality of life as the burden of intermediate complications, researchers from the University of Chicago report in the October 2007 issue of Diabetes Care. A typical diabetes patient takes many medications each day, including two or three different pills to control blood sugar levels, one or two to lower cholesterol, two or more to reduce blood pressure, a daily aspirin to prevent blood clots, plus diet and exercise. As the disease progresses, the drugs increase, often including insulin shots. Eurekalert September 26, 2007

If you suffer from lower back pain you might find that six months of acupuncture gives you superior results to conventional therapy, says a report in Archives of Internal Medicine (JAMA/Archives), September 24th issue. However, the study also indicates that sham acupuncture seems to be effective as well. The authors explain “Low back pain is a common, impairing and disabling condition, often long-term, with an estimated lifetime prevalence of 70 percent to 85 percent. It is the second most common pain for which physician treatment is sought and a major reason for absenteeism and disability.” Although acupuncture is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative therapy, to date its usefulness as a treatment for low back pain has been unclear, say the researchers. Michael Haake, Ph.D., M.D., University of Regensburg, Bad Abbach, Germany, and team carried out a randomized clinical trial with 1,162 patients, their average age was 50. They had all had chronic low back pain for

One central argument between car enthusiasts and on Internet car forums alike is what oil is better for your car, synthetic or conventional.

But now, with the advent of these synthetics all over the market, what is truly the best choice for your engine? Let’s explore both of

I’m not one of those who run to the doctor when I’m down with a cold, fever, headaches or cough. Reason being I don’t like to dose myself with drugs and medications especially antibiotics. It wasn’t long that I learned that antibiotics destroy both the good and bad bacteria of the body. And when that happens, your body may not be strong enough to fight those germs and viruses as the good bacteria which helps to do the job is not present. So, I make sure that a have a dose of bifidus or yoghurt when I’m on antibiotics.According to research, the natural health practioners have regarded colloidal silver as nature’s antibiotic. Colloidal silver has a long history which explains why it has been used to purify substances and treat a host of ailments. It is also found that colloidal silver contains anti fungal and anti viral properties and is used to fight disease and heal many skin related conditions.

Source: Mortgage News DailyTwo days, two economic forecasts; the first which we reported on earlier from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) showed a rapid deterioration in the confidence that association's economic advisors have in the near future of the housing industry. Now we have the June Economic Outlook from Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac's monthly offering always has a theme and it is more than a little disquieting that the motif for June appears to be "not every house needs to be foreclosed."This is really not an overstatement. The Outlook states that, in the subprime market, 1 in 13 homes are candidates for foreclosure. It further quotes the National Delinquency Survey as saying that in the second half of 2003, approximately 670,000 homes entered foreclosure, 37 percent of which were covered by subprime mortgages. This year the projection is that over a million homes will enter foreclosure, a 30 percent increase over last year and 60 per

(Fresno, CA) NO ONE OUT DARES HANK McAFEE, NO ONE! That’s how the business card for the world class daredevil reads. And his resume, including such stunts as jumping a motorcycle over the Grand Canyon with one hand tied behind his back, wrestling a Great White shark while blindfolded and banging Paris Hilton without a condom, speaks to that. But what the business card and resume don’t speak to, is that despite all the myths and conventional wisdom attributed to a daredevil, Hank McAfee has little itty bitty raisin balls.

EduWonk Andrew Rotherham opines that reducing class size without addressing teacher quality more broadly is akin to continually adding pitchers to your bullpen without worrying about whether any of them can even throw a fastball.And Mike Rebell tells the New York Daily News, "As co-counsel for those who brought the landmark Campaign for Fiscal Equity lawsuit, I know how important class size reduction ultimately will be. But improving the quality of our teachers and principals must be priority No. 1. And a premature class-size reduction mandate is likely to lower the general quality of the teaching staff at a time when we desperately need to be raising it."~Arguably THE most consistent variable that affects student achievement is teacher quality and there is no substitute for that. But class size reductions help good teachers help struggling students.Locally, some have misunderstood the class size issue - and have done away with the effort all together. In the past year, following a 1

Korean company Sky recently unveiled the IM-R200 slider which replaces the standard keypad for a touchscreen keypad (à la iphone).
