Home Garage Safety

In this modern time of comfort and convenience, products to beautify your home are readily available at widest selection. There are more brands, design, shapes, aesthetics, color, and functionality to choose from that make home improvement more pleasurable.

But we should not only focus on aesthetics, but also on safety, and not just the interior of our homes, but even our garage, that we use most frequent. Having an expoxy garage floor coating can help make the garage floor slip resistant, therefore much safer for you, your kids and whole family.

So, if you’re still thinking of building, expanding or renovating your homes. Always always put safety first on all aspects, and having a safe garage is one of them.

Naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic medicine is the best alternative in treating all forms of diseases. It is the oldest form of medication used by the ancients to treat all diseases effectively through the use of physical manipulation, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, counselling, and other natural treatment. Besides being cheaper, it is also natural and safer compared to the conventional medicine.

In a naturopathic college, a would-be doctor is trained how to treat diseases without the use of synthetic medicines that are harmful to the body. Students learn the first of the six principles in naturopathic philosophy – first do no harm, by using only herbal medicine and natural treatment to cure diseases. In naturopathic medicine, students are taught the healing power of nature and the inherent power of the human body to restore itself to health. Diseases are studied at the cellular level and how the mind affects it in order to effectively treat the cause of disease and not the symptoms only.

I want to be a naturopathic doctor in order to save lives. Unlike most conventional medical doctors, a naturopathic doctor is more that just a doctor or a medical practioner wearing medical scrubs, he or she is someone who treats the person with a holistic approach by providing flexible health programs. The naturopathic physician is a teacher to his patients, teaching them healthy lifestyle, and instilling in their minds that prevention is the best cure.

Make Space for a Garage

If you’re planning to build your own home or renovate the existing ones, one thing to consider is making space for a garage. Automobiles or cars are one of the most valuable things we have aside from our homes, and all that’s in it. Protect your cars by having a secure garage, where you can park or leave your car without worrying.

We could always park our cars outside but longer exposure to the glare and the heat of the sun and the different types of weather conditions can damage the surfaces and paint of your car. So protect the paint from fading and preserve their newness. You can also protect your valuable cars from being stolen. Always check if your garage door is in good working condition too, and if not, get someone to repair garage door immediately. It will not only ensure your cars from being secure within your garage but also lessen delays just in case you’re in a hurry to take your car outside or inside.

Homes are for comfort and security not only for our loved ones and family, but also for our assets and valuables. So, make space for a garage. The space can also be used for other functions just in case you need one in the future.

Lois and Clark

I like pet dogs very much. When I was a child, we had a nice brown dog called Kirby. He was obedient, and always accompanied me wherever I go. He barked at rascals and drunkards, and they hated him so much. I had a poignant memory of how he was trapped and butchered by them. I cried so much, and I couldn’t eat for days.

Since then, I stopped rearing dogs. It hurt me so much to see my pet dog hurt. It took years before I resumed rearing dogs again.

Now we have two new pet dogs at home. We call them Lois and Clark, obviously the names were derived from superman series and movie, a family favorite. They are faithful guards of our house. We can leave the house alone anytime with peace of mind because of them.

We got Clark from the street. My kid found him in the street, he was bloody and odorous with sores and must have been reared by a mother dog who suffered from dog mange. The kid brought him home, and we took good care of him until his sores has fully healed, and his brown furs started to grow.

On the other hand, Lois’ mother was a Japanese dog. He has a thick white fur with the shades of gray. His tail is very short.
Lois and Clark are good dogs, but Clark is more domesticated than Lois. Clark behaves well, and easily obeys all instructions, while Lois does not follow sometimes. Clark has no problem taking a bath, but Lois runs away at the sight of water and soap.

Lois, as is common with most dogs, growls when his food is set or touched, while Clark  just waits meekly until his food is given back to him. We love them both and we plan to keep them for the rest of their life.

Advantage of wearing sandals with straps

I once read an article in a magazine about the advantage of wearing sandals with straps. It said that women wearing sandals with straps, like the flip flop sandals are benefited health wise. The sandal strap massages the muscles of the ankle, and this stimulates the sex organs and other parts of the body to function properly. They are also very light and easy to wear that some women make different designs out of them. Different accessories from beading supplies shop could help you redefine and make your plain looking sandals look even more fashionable.

A friend of mine who is an expert reflexologist told me that massaging some vital points in the ankle, especially those in front can prevent cancer and some diseases. This health benefit makes flip flop sandals very good for our health.

Flip flop sandals are also good for our safety. The straps of flip flop sandals cover and protect our ankle and some parts of our feet. Flip flop sandals firm up the ankle and some muscles and joints of our leg and feet, thus making a firm and stable stride for safe walking.

Early Halloween Invitations for a cause

There are many ways in which we can help the society and our own community, and even do a good turn to our fellowmen while we are having fun. The kids in our village are showing this good example. As early as now, they are planning an event on November, a Halloween party for a cause.

Halloween invitations are being sent out as early as now and with it are envelopes and letters of donations, which proceeds will go to the beneficiary charitable institution. They will be holding another Halloween costume contest where prizes will also come from the donations, and half or the prize will go to the chosen charity of the contestants.

It’s great to see that kids have the heart to help, and they are starting out young, and we parents are here to support them in every way.

Bob Marley Quotes, Song Lyrics and Words of Wisdom

Bob Marley isn’t just a music legend but he is also a an of wisdom. I am really fascinated not only by his being a musical genius but also by the words of wisdom he shared to many. Most of his song lyrics have given inspiration to generations, then, now, and in the future. His songs and legacy lives on, for as long as music is alive.

Bob Marley Quotes could be found everywhere on the web, but here’s a few to add to my collection of quotes here on my site. I hope you’d like them just as much as I do.

Bob Marley Quotes, Song Lyrics and Words of Wisdom.

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

— Bob Marley

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”
— Bob Marley

“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I’m not perfect
-and I don’t live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers…
make sure you hands are clean!”
— Bob Marley

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect – you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break – her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.”
— Bob Marley

“The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.”
— Bob Marley

“None but ourselves can free our minds.”
— Bob Marley

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”
— Bob Marley

“love the life you live.
live the life you love.”
— Bob Marley

“One love, one heart, one destiny.”
— Bob Marley

How Precisely Exact Is Science?

Most people believe that science, specially mathematics is an exact science. But how precisely exact is science? Can we completely rely and depend on its exactness?

From the Renaissance period, when science started to bloom and flourished in Europe, up to the present time, the world wondered in amazement at the incredible inventions and discoveries  made by science that greatly changed the world. From the 14th up to the 17th century, Germany produced geniuses whose inventions and discoveries still amaze the modern man.

Science has provided man with all the comforts that greatly benefited his life in this world where he lives. Automation in almost everything has made man’s life easy and livable. Advances in electronics and communications, and modern transport systems have shrinked  the world in terms of time and space. Doctors from different parts of the globe can now simultaneously operate together on a patient in another remote part of world. And you can talk to your friends and relatives who are on the other side of the globe face to face without any loss of time.

Computers are becoming smaller and faster. The internet has linked peoples around the word, and is a very powerful tool in the efficient dissemination  of various vital information to the whole world for business use and other purposes.

We are very grateful for all these scientific inventions that made our lives on this Earth comfortable. But we cannot forget of the many major disasters that were directly or indirectly caused by this inventions. One glaring example is the devastations wrought by nuclear weapons such as atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, netron bombs, nuclear warheads, and other weapons of mass destruction. Most people cringe in fear to even think that in one moment, the whole world will melt in a nuclear holocaust.

Are these inventions a boon or a bane? Why do millions are dying of famine in Africa in spite of the advances in scientific farming and modern weather forecasting? Why are so many incurable diseases are still thriving in spite of the wonderful discoveries in medicine and genetic engineering that can be used to alter the DNA and RNA of human beings for the betterment of man?

The probable answer to all of these could be that science could not be an exact science after all. Consider the explosion of the Challenger in mid-air? Was it a human error or a science error?

Science is founded on corollaries, theories and laws that were made and verified through experiments. These theories and laws are derived from the results  of  experiments of things, conditions, and events in a closed system. When we say closed system, it is limited, for indeed it is very impossible to conduct an experiment that includes all space, all time, all conditions, all parameters, and all variables of this universe. That is why scientists divided them into small parts and closed them so as to experiment on it successfully.

It is very obvious then, that whatever theory or law that may be derived from the result of these experiments on closed systems are limited, and are therefore bound to fail when applied to another system or systems not covered by that experiment. That is why mathematics, in spite of its being an exact science is not applicable in hyper space. This could also be the reason why the Unified Field Theory has not been established up to now.

Probably the world needs another mathematics besides the ‘exact mathematic’ that we have now. Albert Einstein has started to quibble some 16 very hard differential equations for the Unified Field Theory, but unfortunately, only one or two understood it, and they might be dead by now. Einstein lamented the fact that our mathematics today, though ‘exact’, is very limited, and the world needs another entirely different mathematics to finally establish the Unified Field Theory to enable man to travel instantaneously in time and space.
