Writers of Different Forms

Social Media is everywhere and it's big business! The business of content writing is growing and the number of opportunities for writers is increasing right along with it!

There's an outlet for every type of writer. Do you write novels, short stories or poems? Write a book that can be in print, online or downloaded to a reader. Do you like to write shorter informative pieces about a specific topic-or maybe just keep you friends and family updated on your daily life? Write a blog.
Or, are you somewhere in the middle? Do you write articles that are between 800-1200 word articles about subjects that are important to you in which you know others would appreciate reading but would probably never see the shelves of a traditional book store? If so, check out online content writing sites such as http://hubpages.com/

E Cig-Smoking Alternative

Are E-Cigarettes a good alternative

to traditional smoking or a danger

to health?

 

 

Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) were

introduced to the market in 2004

by Chinese Druggist Hon Lik.

 

 

What are they...exactly?

 

E-cigs are battery operated, electronic inhalant devices

that produces heat and contains a cartridge full of

chemicals such as propylene glycol, nicotine and tetramethylpyrazine. 

These chemicals are advertised to be non-carcinogenic which is means

not cancer forming.

 

But, does that mean they aren't harmful?

 

It may not cause cancer but nicotine has been proven to be damaging

to the heart. Prolonged exposure to tetramethylpyrazine

can cause brain damage in humans. Another chemical
called diethylene glycol, which is a component of
anit-freeze, has been found in the flameless smokes!

 

Recent reports prove that certain flavors of the

e-cig can be extremely harmful to children

who are exposed to its vapors.

"High adherence to a Mediterranean diet appears to slow the progression of carotid plaque, a PREDIMED substudy suggests. Of note, investigators found an attenuation of plaque progression in the Mediterranean diet arm of the study that included supplementation with nuts and no such change in the other intervention arm, which included supplemental extra virgin olive oil"

The Big Itch:Poison Ivy, Oak & Sumac

Beware! Foliage that reeks havoc

can be in your own back yard!

 

Spring and summer are

seasons for beautifying

our lawns.

 

While doing yard work

you may find different

looking plants or vines

that you think are just

weeds. Before pulling them

up with your bare hands,

make sure it's not  something

that will have you scratching

for days to come!

 



 

The aspect of all 3 of these plants that cause

irritation, allergic reaction and the rash

that brings on the miserable itching

is the oils that these plants leave on

the skin after touching it. If not washed off

asap, it can cause a pustule type rash.

The rash itself is not contagious but

the transfer of the oil that causes it

can cause a rash in other areas or

other people.

 

Educating yourself on how to recognize

these plants, covering extremities and

wearing gloves while working in possible

infested areas and quickly washing yourself

and your clothing after possible contact

will give the best protection against

affliction these plants can cause!
