Cigarettes or more specially tobacco smoke are filled with chemicals and toxins. As you are exposed to those chemicals in smoking cigarettes, bear in mind that about 4,000 chemicals are in that smoke, most of them being very harmful.Effects of Cigarette Smoking kills hundreds of thousands of people all over the world each year. * Lifetime smokers will likely die from smoking. Some of these deaths will occur in middle age. Tobacco smoke as well contributes to numerous types of cancers. * The combination of nicotine plus carbon monoxide in every cigarette you smoke temporarily enlarges your heart rate as well as blood pressure, damaging your heart and blood vessels. * This can also cause heart attacks and strokes. It reduces your blood flow, slowing down oxygen to the feet and hands. Ther

Healthy fats Healthy fats can lower your risk of heart disease by reducing the total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels in your blood. Cholesterol, which your body produces for building cells, is the main substance in fatty deposits (plaques) that can develop in your arteries. Plaques that build up can reduce blood flow through your vessels, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. One type of polyunsaturated fat, omega-3 fatty acids, may be especially beneficial to your heart. Omega-3s appear to decrease the risk of coronary artery disease. They may also protect against irregular heartbeats and help lower blood pressure levels. Here are the differences as well as the best food sources of these healthy fats: Monounsaturated fat remains liquid at room temperat

Girls and sexual minorities suffer most Schools' current focus on bullying prevention may be masking the serious and underestimated health consequences of sexual harassment, according to James Gruber from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and Susan Fineran from the University of Southern Maine in the US. Their research (1), just published online in Springer's journal Sex Roles, shows that although less frequent, sexual harassment has a greater negative impact on teenagers' health than the more common form of victimization, bullying. Gruber and Fineran's study, the first of its kind to compare bullying and sexual harassment victimization using equivalent measurements and time frames, looked at the frequency and health implications of both bullying and sexual harassment among 522 middle an

Plastics simplify our lives. As a result, plastic is everywhere and used in just about everything and serves as a great utility to society. However, this utility comes at a price. It is common knowledge that discarded trash adversely impacts the environment but science is discovering how plastics are poisoning our bodies with stealth in ways not before imagined and on a level unseen by the eye. The link between plastics and negative impacts to our health has gone relatively unnoticed until now. From DISCOVER Magazine:How could that loveliness be linked to what seems its ugly opposite: the contortions and distortions that chemicals in plastic may have bequeathed us? The stunted testicles in fish and alligators; girls blooming breasts and pubic hair at an eerily young age; the steadily ris

photo by duncanHow to Avoid Help Hazards:When entering a trigger situation, don’t mention anything about the anxiety to the worrier. It may seem like a nice supportive thing to do to ask “How are you feeling?” “Are you going to be ok?” etc, but for all you know the worrier isn’t even thinking about it and you will make them realize that others may be thinking about it and watching them which alone can cause anxiety and panic. The best thing to do is to ask the worrier later once you have left the situation. You can let them know then that you were thinking about them. Never say something like “It’s not a big deal, just stop worrying about it.” Believe me if we could we would in a heartbeat. Just being supportive is

Smoking is considered to cause cancer and heart disease but most of the facelift surgery patients are not aware that smoking can also cause harm to the plastic surgery operations performed successfully.Cigarettes contain harmful ingredients such as nicotine and carbon monoxide. Nicotine causes the vasospasm of the vessels, which deprives the tissues of oxygen and interferes with the healing process which can lead to serious complications during and after the facelift surgery.Just one cigarette can reduce the blood flow to the wound and affect the healing process.After the facelift surgery, if the plastic surgery patients continue to smoke, it will have an adverse effect on the recovery period.To minimize the risks and reduce the complications it is advisable to refrain from smoking as a pa

Vitamin supplement or supplements are very essential for us because if we do not consume plenty vitamins necessary for our bodies, the vitamin supplement will substitute for the deficit of the quantity of vitamins in our system. Neverthless, a good diet based on nutrients with high concentration of vitamins is always a most effective solution than supplements. But once a diet is not sufficient, dietary supplement vitamin could be the answer. Nutritive content claims for dietetic supplement vitamin describe the level of extraordinary case of vitamin or vitamins in that supplement. For example, according to a lot of health organizations, a dietetic supplement vitamin with at least 12 milligrams per serving of vitamin C could deliver the following declaration on its label" "Great source of vi

An attractive face has well-defined proportions, with a good balance between the middle-third and the lower-third of the face.

This act, when it was created 30 years, ago grandfathered the use of many dangerous chemicals into law. The European Union has already completed extensive research on many of these chemicals and is phasing out or banning usage in their products (hence the "EU compliant" label many organic and natural labeled prodcuts carry). This act desperately needs an update and the chemical industry (along with their lobbyists and cash) will fight this tooth and nail.

Here I contest many points made in an article critical of many people who say DU is harmful. concept that the 350 extra tons of uranium launched into Iraq would make a measurable difference to the environment is challenged by the fact that four tons of the ubiquitous metal are likely to be found in any square mile of soil one foot deep anywhere in the world. "Yes, there probably is this amount of uranium within the first 12 inches of 1 square mile of soil - but it will be bound up in particles of soil which are typically not big enough to be inhaled. As I stated before, there has been research done to show that the uranium oxide formed when a uranium projectile hits a tank is very fine indeed and small enough to reach right down inside the lungs. Much more uranium was dumped on Iraq in the

Not all search engine optimization is ethical and organic. Offers of getting a website designed, running and generating revenue within a couple of weeks abound on the Internet, some boasting of lofty claims like a $2000 worth ‘big’ SEO package with ‘guarantees’. While such packages might be a bargain for small businesses, they are best to be ignored by SBO’s and big organizations alike. The main reason for this advice is the techniques that these so-called SEO’s implement, most of which are decidedly black hat and criminal. A website will be banned sooner than the SEO contract is over, and it will take a long time to get back lost business credibility. Similar to Google bombing, Google poisoning is a black hat search engine optimization technique. It rides on the conce

The Sugar consists of glucose, which is necessary for almost all the processes involved in metabolism. It can be assumed that the sugar is useful, but, to the disappointment of all who love sweets, it is not so.Why? Because refined sugar, honey or sweeteners, such as Maple syrup, brown sugar and white flour, constitute carbohydrates, which do not contain the essential nutrients, or contain them in very small quantities. Thus, the body is supplied with pure carbohydrates that do not have a big significance to metabolism. To ensure that we give the body necessary substances, in addition to the sweets there is need to have other products, which means the intake of more calories than are spent, resulting in the addition of extra weight.Those who eat sugar need vitamin B1 (thiamine).

Scientists have long been interested in wrapping proteins around carbon nanotubes, and the process is used for various applications in imaging, biosensing, and cellular delivery. But this new study at Rensselaer is the first to remotely control the activity of these conjugated nanotubes. A team of Rensselaer researchers led by Ravi S. Kane, professor of chemical and biological engineering, has worked for nearly a year to develop a means to remotely deactivate protein-wrapped carbon nanotubes by exposing them to invisible and near-infrared light. The group demonstrated this method by successfully deactivating anthrax toxin and other proteins. "By attaching peptides to carbon nanotubes, we gave them the ability to selectively recognize a protein of interest -- in this case anthrax toxin -- from a mixture of different proteins," Kane said. "Then, by exposing the mixture to light, we could selectively deactivate this protein without disturbing the other proteins in the mixture." By conjug

Do not trust any product to be safe for your child, just because you see it in a respected chain store, or it is manufactured by a large American household-name company. Chemicals found in common household products can contribute to developmental and behavioral disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and mental retardation, even autism, allergies and cancer. Parents of Rowan and Mikaela in Oakland got a wake up call a few years ago, when the family was asked to attend a voluntary blood testing to measure the industrial chemicals in their bodies. The family agreed, they didn't have any reason to believe that there could be something wrong. After all, the family did not own a TV and mainly ate organic food and were environmentally concious. The test results showed that even 18-months-old Rowan had extremely high levels of chemicals in his body. Rowan is now a healthy 5-year-old, but the chemicals found in his body could cause thyroid dysfunction or other risks

Violence and CrimeUse of drugs is sometimes associated with violence and crime. Although, alcohol or other drugs do not cause violence, both the victims and perpetrators of violence may be using certain drugs. Date rape is one example, where the effects of benzodiazepines or alcohol may put the victim at increased risk for such violence.Two drugs, Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) and GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) have been associated with date rape because their effects incapacitate the victim and make the person unable to resist the sexual assault. Because they are colourless, odourless and tasteless, the victim may not be aware that the drug has been deliberately added to their drink. People may also commit crimes in order to make money to buy drugs, and drug problems are frequent among criminal offenders.ToleranceTolerance means that, over time and with regular use, a person who uses drugs needs more and more of a drug to get the same effect. Tolerance increases the physical health risks of a

I did a search to find out more about the issues with disposable diapers. Found lots of links, but will only quote from the first 3 that I read upon. Putting aside those issues with environmental concerns, as people like MIL won’t care to know, there are issues closely related to how it affects babies’ health. The super-absorbent gelling materials (or AGM) is made of Sodium Polyacrylate. This material was removed from tampons in 1985 because of its link to toxic shock syndrome. It can stick to baby’s genitals, cause allergic reactions, and when injected into rats caused hemorrhage, cardiovascular failure and death! Dioxin, a by-product of bleaching paper, is the most toxic of all cancer-linked chemicals. It causes effects like birth defects and liver disease in laboratory animals. Other concerns are fragrances used that can cause allergic, plastic material that children may tear and put into their mouth or nose causing choking hazards, etc. There are studies conducted

Over the past few weeks, concerns regarding the outlying health risks linked with the proliferation of Wi-Fi wireless networks – particularly in schools – has begun to take hold in the United Kingdom. More pointedly, calls from the scientific community are also gathering that suggest further research should be carried out on the safety of Wi-Fi networks following reports of a teacher that suffered from heavy migraines, ill health, and a lack of concentration when a Wi-Fi network was installed at his school – only to recover fully when it was later removed. Now Wi-Fi health issues are back in the media again, thanks to the arrival of a BBC Panorama documentary probing the possible health risks associated with the wireless phenomenon that’s currently spreading across the country through homes, classrooms, and businesses. The UK government has already issued claims that Wi-Fi technology is perfectly safe and much less powerful, in terms of radiation emissions, than that of sta

W-Fi could be a lot more dangerous to children’s health than previously thought, says a British health agency. The guy behind the call to arms, Sir William Stewart, points to evidence that shows signal strength from a Wi-Fi router at a distance of one meter is stronger than a cellphone tower’s at a distance of 100 meters. Or, in something I like to call “English,” Wi-Fi signals are a hell of a lot more powerful than cellphone signals and therefore could pose more of a threat. I wonder, if it’s discovered that Wi-Fi is indeed detrimental to one’s health, what would happen? Would the industry just collapse in on itself or is the basic technology modifiable so as to eliminate the danger? And what of those people who are sensitive to electromagnetic waves already, are they screwed either way? I wonder if in a few years’ time, Future People will be all, “Can you believe they willingly subjected themselves to radiation without studying its effects?”

It specifically criticises Bratz dolls, which come dressed in miniskirts and fishnet stockings and outsell Barbie dolls in Britain by two to one. Asda has been condemned for marketing black lacy underwear to nine-year-olds. The American Psychological Association’s (APA) report says that marketing companies take advantage of youngsters’ desire for affection and the need to conform, leading to eating disorders, low self-esteem and depression. Academics believe that the influence and attitudes of parents, siblings, and friends can also add to the pressures of sexualisation.

The ability to serialize an object can be a very useful feature of a language or framework but there is a trap that developers often fall into when they first discover this functionality.Almost every app we ever work on requires some kind of file format to store information about the document the user is working on. So a developer will often think to themselves "This serialization stuff will save me heaps of time. I can serialize my object hierarchy with two lines of code when I need to save the document and deserialize it when I need to load the document". This way madness lies. Once you do this, your file format is completely dependent on the internal class structure. Want to change a property name or type? Bam, your file format is broken. Want to remove a property?
