Embryonic stem cell research

Published by youthfoutain under healthcare Edit This

Stem cell research is something that will be able to help a lot of patient. Adult stem cell research is already in full force and it’s helping a lot of people getting better. There is embryonic stem cell research but with embryonic stem cell research there is no government funding yet. The government is questioning its ethical concern. They are not funding it. They are only helping out with adult stem cells.

There is less limitation with embryonic stem cells but more so with adult stem cells. There is more limitation to adult stem cells. However with adult stem cells there is no rejection as with embryonic stem cells. There will be rejection issue with embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells will allow doctors to create more treatment for patients in many ways. This is one of the best medical breakthrough yet people are not supporting it yet. Hopefully the next president will change this outcome. You can also donate your embryonic stem cells if you have extra left from your in vitro ferilization. San Francisco hospital have a program where they will accept your donation of your embryos for research.

Prenatal care: things to avoid

Published by youthfoutain under healthcare Edit This

Foods that pregnant women shouldn’t eat. There are foods that pregnant women shouldn’t eat because it can interfere with the health of the fetus. You may have heard this most often. There are some basics ones that everyone know and they are no smoking, drinking, drugs use and injury to the stomach. These are old ones and hopefully most people would have known them by now.

The goal is to not damage or harm your fetus. I’m sure no one will want to harm their fetus but accidents happen if the mother is not aware of these rules. Another important thing is to get prenatal care so that your doctor can check up to see if you have any problems.

They don’t want you to eat raw meat, fish, sushi or vegetables because of potential unkilled bacteria and viruses. There are tons of bacteria in uncooked meat. You can get some serious stuff from it too. You can get really sick with these things. Fish that are raw have mercury in it that is not good for your baby. Uncooked vegetables have bacteria in them too. You should not drink tap water in foreign country. You should not drink tap water around parks because it can contain E.coli.

Cell phones at hospital

Published by youthfoutain under healthcare Edit This

Do you know that using a cell phone at a hospital could mean that you could put a patient at risk. They could die if their machine goes off. When you use the cell phones at the hospital the transmission will interfere with other cell phones and you could cut off the status of that machine.

Signals are everywhere and they affect each other. You should never use your phone near a hospital or outside of it. There are always signs at the hospital to never use it . Make sure you don’t use it and tell people not to use it when you see it. You don’t want one of the machine to die and kill other people. It’s very dangerous practice. Make sure you put out this news to people that you know.

Recently there was a story of a girl who die during surgery over someone using their phone right outside of the room. The machine just stop working out of nowhere when someone else try to use the phone. Signals they affect each other so you have to be careful. You should never use a cell phone or electronic devices like ipods outside of the operating room or anywhere in the hospital. I still see a lot of my co worker do it all the time. It’s not ok.

Teradata convention Las Vegas

Published by youthfoutain under technology Edit This

Teradata was just in Las Vegas Mandalay Bay convention center. They held the convention from the beginning of October. This was for IT people. There were thousands of goers. One from each company that uses teradata. You can sign up to go next year if your company uses Teradata. There were classrooms, foods, and party. They also got a chance to see the Goo Goo dolls performed. Teradata comes to Las Vegas convention every year. It was a group of professionals. They were not all that nice though. Lance Armstrong was a motivational speaker at this conference. We saw him walked by the hallway. It was a fun and professional crowd from all over the world. I’ve met a lot from London and Japan. They flew all the way in here for a couple of class, I thought it’s not worth it. They could have gotten it off the net. There wasn’t anything that special about the conference. The flight is not necessary.

Should you swim in a foreign country?

Published by youthfoutain under travel Edit This

You should not swim or use any of the water recreational parks in a foreign country because it’s not sanitary and it’s filled with many bacterias and viruses. The water parks, beach, lake, river, and pool are not maintain as much as it should be. They don’t treat these areas like the US do. They don’t use chlorine or other chemical to treat these areas like we do in America. Chances are you’ll get very sick if you drink or swim in these places.

You can observe it but don’t jump into it right away. It’s not recommended. Many travelers don’t have a clue and they’ll just do what feels good but they’ll get sick. You can get diarhea, infections in the eyes, ears, noses and respiratory problems if you use their water. The water back at your hotel can be a little better though. Asia is one of those places with really bad and contaminated water.

Planning on traveling to another country , well you need to take care of a few things first. You need to get vaccination. Going to a foreign country will depends on whether you are ill or not. You will need to have excellent health in order to travel so that you don’t get sick.

If you’re immunocompromised then you can get sick from opportunistic infections. If you have HIV then it’s not a good idea that you travel to a foreign country. If you just had some surgery or transplant then you should not travel because your immune system is weak. Vaccines that you will need are yellow fever and influenza and some people may need hepatitis vaccine. You will also need to bring extra medicaitons just in case you get sick. You will also need to brings sprays to keep bugs away. You should be careful of the food that you eat or else you can get brutally sick. Some country don’t allow HIV positive people to go there.

Should you give your ex a chance?

Have you ever had one of those relationship that you fought furiously with your lover? What did you do afterward? Did you leave the person permanently? Did you ever come back to the relationship? Do you feel comfortable going back to a relationship like that? I don’t know how it’s possible to get back to a relationship after you have fought furiously with the person. I have fought like this and I don’t think I can ever get back to that relationship. Do you think that it’s a good idea to get back to a relationship like that?

I have seen people who get back together after a long break up. It could be as long as two years. Wow! After I fight with someone that is it. I will never be able to get back with them. I think there’s a reason for the fight and if it’s bad enought then I can’t go back anymore. I have had ex boyfriend that call me up and wanting to get back together but I can’t do it. I have say a lot of hurtful thing to that person and they have also say a lot of hurtful things to me, therefore I don’t think that I can’t go back anymore. Even after you back with that person they will still have the same problems that have to fight about. I rather date someone new that don’t have problems like that. I know that you need to work out a bad relationship but only if you’re still in love with the person. If you’re still in love with the person then you wouldn’t be fighting that bad anyway and therefore you must not love the person anymore. I would feel very awkward if I have to go back to something that is damage already.

What to do when you’ve been cheated

If you’re one of those unlucky person like me you will discover one day that your mate is cheating on you. What do you do now? You’ll probably be sad and heart broken. You will probably run around trying to calm yourself down. You will pity yourself. You’ll feel inadquate. You’ll feel betrayed by someone who you thought you trust. I’ve been through all of these myself.

I’ve walked into my boyfriend one time and discover that we was involved with a few other women. I even dated a person who was living with another girl. Almost every single person that I’ve dated have cheated on me one way or another. I was disappointed and felt like I’ve wasted a lot of my precious time on these men. That’s life, everyone will have these moments. Men seem to cheat more women. Why is this? Is it because they have more lust then us? They enjoy being with different people? It’s just the lust thing whereas with women, it’s love. We are losing to men somehow. It should be our goal to not reward ourselves with these relationships ever again. One day I made a promise to myself that I will never date another womanizer. I will make sure that they are a decent person. We can all do this. We can scan the guy and make sure that he’s a good guy. Men have take a heavy toll on women.

One of these day, you’ll be happy to discover that your mate is cheating on you. You should be happy because at least you know the truth and you can move on from there. Wouldn’t it be scarier to continue with someone that is living a double life? I rather find out the truth. I have seen it all the time that people continue with their current relationship and cheat on the side. I would not be able to forgive myself if I led that continue without confronting the other person. You should walk away from a bad relationship and don’t hold back. Many time people want to hold back because they feel comfortable with that relationship but holding back will hurt you more. You just have to let go and find something better for yourself.

California crime rate is high

Published by youthfoutain under local city Edit This

California has a very high crime rate. It’s important that we know so that we can do something about it. The crime rate is making it harder for people to live and to build safe business. It seems like authority is not doing a good job at preventing the crime rate in California. The crime rate is one of the reason that has drove me away from that State. I now moved away to another state because I feel like I can’t achieve any goal there because it may be ruin one day. You can set up a nice and expensive business one day and some robber can come in and murder you for money. You can be peaceful in your home but you will never know one day someone can break in and murder you. I have so many friends that have been robbed within the last year. California is high in crime and authority need to do something about it.

California crime rate was always kind of high compare to other states. There are many gangs activity and illegal black market. There are too much robbery and organized crime. The crime rate has even rocketed at this time when the economy is collapsing. People are looking left to right to rob you of everything. It’s very hard to accept the fact that the elderly are killed at the time of robbery. There was a few cases where the elderly was killed during the robbery. These criminal don’t have any heart to let the elderly live at all. The whole community should work more on this issue. We should do a lot of things to discourage these kinds of activity. I don’t think that the community even bring up this issue.

The city politicians should raise some awareness on this issue. It looks like people are just way too busy with their personal lives and they’re not putting in some effort to make the community a better place for children and for the elderly and for people that can’t defend themselves like women. It’s chilling to live in any of the city in California. Crime is a daily thing. There are all sorts of crime and nothing is uncommon nowadays. I think that the city should be a little bit more strict on some issues so that the neighborhood can be more peaceful.

I think that the gangs rate has dropped significantly since several years ago. They are still very strong nowadays. They make the community unsafe. They threatened the community businesses. People don’t feel safe doing businesses there. It’s either that or they should be kept in jail because as soon as they escape they start to rob again. The prison system is getting too easy nowadays and they’re letting people out of jail way too soon. I guess the government doesn’t have that much funding to feed these criminals. Criminals don’t learn and they continue their old tricks.

There were many businesses in California that were robbed. I really sympathized with these owners because they must be very fearful and could have closed their business. It was very sad to see in some cases that the owners were killed along with their children too. California has to do something about this matter fast before it gets out of hands.

I suggest that the California governor or local authority come up with a plan to lower the crime rate. The punishment system is a little easy nowadays allowing criminals to get back on the street too soon. Why don’t Congress pass more laws so that we can discourage criminal activities. Congress should pass laws so that we can harshen the punishment systems to deter people from doing more crimes. Illegal immigrants also contributed to a lot of crimes in California and some of those common ones are car theft, petty theft, gangs activity and over population. There will be more poor children who don’t have enough daily requirements and these same poor children will the one that will make the street unsafe for other people because they have so much deficit and problems that they tend to create more hostility for other people.

If we look at patterns we will recognize that it is the poor kids that will be the criminals instead of the rich kids. The rich kids are wealthly and there’re no reason for them to run around on the street. Poverty creates more crimes. The poverty rate in California is very high. People are picking up cans for a living in California. There are thousands of homeless on the streets of LA. This is really horrible coparing to other states. I think that people are just lazy in California. They party too much and they don’t work that hard. Most of the people do work hard but there’s a good percentage of youth that don’t work and party all the time.
