Smoking cigarettes is a harmful practice that has been followed by millions of people across the globe. The effects that smoking causes in an individual is spread to the people through many channels and mediums and despite knowing the hard and cruel reality people still resort to smoking and some even call it an adventure. With the diligent and widespread awareness of the negatives about smoking cigarette, thousands of people take up smoking every year, a lot of them even before they turn twenty-one.

People believe or at least tend to believe that smoking is a form of relaxation or a stress buster; however the so called relaxing feeling of nicotine wears off shortly leaving a person with a very harmful and costly habit or to put it in other words, an addiction. Smoking has a lot of strange effects on a human body and mind. Smoking cigarettes lead to lung cancer and other breathing or respiratory diseases.

The strangeness continues as just the lung cancer or the respiratory diseases are just the two most common effects that are cited and quoted world over. However, smoking is also known for increasing the chance of a stroke and heart sicknesses. If the exposure to cigarette has been done in one’s childhood then, there’s a good chance of developing grim asthma and allergies as well as nose, throat and ear infections. These do not cause death, but, their effects in a human body are much worse.

Smoking not only leads to one’s death, eventually, but also makes the person look ugly before the grand finale .Smoking causes yellowing of the teeth which slowly turns brown. Cigarette smoke prevents gums from receiving all necessary nutrients, making them weaker and eventually resulting in inadequate periodontal support for your teeth.. About 18-year-old smokers lose 5 teeth before they turn 35. Smoking slows down the healing as inhaling the smoke prevents blood from circulating openly in the gums and mouth.

The damage smoking does to the physical appearance of a person is beyond repair as nicotine has negative effect on blood circulation. A person’s skin and hair suffer first when the nutrients don’t arrive there in enough quantities. The skin changes colour into a paler and duller shade, and hair start breaking and getting thinner. The effect takes a few years, so many smokers don’t attribute their hair issues to smoking, but in truth the only reason for hairs breaking ups is the smoke.

So to put an end to all these strange and disastrous effects that is caused by smoking cigarettes, one has to give up smoking as soon as possible, before it’s too late. By stopping to smoke, one regains all the necessary nutrients to get the body back to life in no time. Smoking cigarette is just not worth anybody’s life.

Getting Rid of Old Gold Jewelry

Tiz — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:38:00 +0000

If you have ever been to my house, you will probably remember how cluttered it was. This has been something that I have been trying to deal with for a number of years now, but just recently I have started to do something about it.

You see, I read a book on how to de-clutter your home and I think that it changed my life. I finally found the reason why I don’t like staying at home and I have been getting rid of stuff ever since. Besides, who needs six couches or eight televisions? I sure don’t.

Since most of the big stuff is gone now, I have been going through the smaller things and getting rid of anything I don’t use or need anymore. One of the hardest decisions that I have made is to sell the gold jewelry that I don’ wear anymore. Though some of it I keep because I have inherited it, I am getting rid of most of it.

Thankfully, there is a nice gold buyer in town that is happy to take it off my hands at a good price. In fact, in most cases I am getting much more than what I paid for it, so I don’t feel the need to complain at all.

I think that when this is all done, I will feel like showing off my house again – I can’t wait!

Can PHP scripts defeat office politics?

iZoner — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 14:57:42 +0000

Moving up the ladder in the web development industry is both easy and hard. How is this apparent dichotomy possible? If you study and are constantly learning new techniques, languages and frameworks, you’ll find that being upwardly mobile is rather effortless. Of course, you’ll need to know more than just PHP scripts to get that corner office.

There is a lot of office politics involved, as seems to be the case with most every industry. Provided you have the ability to navigate those curves, and you’ve found the passion to be constantly increasing your knowledge base, your successful opportunities are vastly improved.

Even the simplest of tasks like the purchase of a dreamweaver extension that will allow you to produce more work in less time is an example of how you’ll want to make progress. Smart supervisors see this sort of dedication in exceptional employees, and almost invariably cause those workers to rise to the top of the crowd.

When the time comes to promote someone a rung or two up the ladder, your boss is much more likely to remember the go getter that you are versus the others in your department. Taking the extra time to learn now will result in your increased salaries and marketability down the road.

Tip the Balance with Great Customer Service

TopIZ — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 10:29:23 +0000

If you already own and operate your own ecommerce business, you probably already realize that there are a ton of other businesses out there that do exactly what you do. So what incentive does a customer have to come to you instead of your competitors? It is up to you to come up with something that will tip that balance, and convince customers to bring their business to you instead of taking it to someone else.

For instance, say you have a website where you sell KWA airsoft equipment to hobbyists. There are tons of other sites selling airsoft pistols online, so you need to create a reason for customers to choose your website over the others.

Obviously, the first way to do that is to make sure that potential customers find you early on in their search. That takes a lot of online marketing to higher search engine rankings, and recommendations from forums and blogs.

However, simply marketing is not enough. You also need to do something to prove to potential customers that you are the best business to buy from. You can do that by promising — and following through with — exceptional customer service. Here are a few ways to offer a level of customer service that can tip the scales in your favor:

Offer a no questions asked, money back guarantee
Make it easy for potential customers to contact you with questions, via phone, email, or even online chat
Communicate with buyers about when their package is shipped, and follow up with them afterward to make sure they are satisfied with their purchases
Make communications personal and avoid form letters whenever possible

Remember, if there are a gazillion companies out there offering exactly the same products as you, then it’s the service where you must set yourself apart from the competition!

Preschool Carnival

TIZ — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:04:23 +0000

My daughter’s preschool is having a little carnival and bake sale at the school. I volunteered to help and, somehow, I am now in charge of the layout and organization of the carnival. There are going to be a ton of booths serving baked goods, drinks, hot dogs, hamburgers and other foods. There are also going to be game booths for the kids. They are even going to rent a couple of little rides for the kids. We are not expecting a huge turnout but I think that 80 preschoolers are going to be really overwhelming.

At the next planning meeting, I’m going to bring up the idea of crowd control. I think that we need some sort of crowd control barriers around the rides and attractions. I’m worried about a bunch of little kids mobbing my husband at the entrance to the ball pit. The barriers would be great at the food booths too. I have always hated going to these things and standing around with a bunch of people in a giant clump because you have no idea who is in line for cotton candy and who is just standing around. I figured that, with that many little kids, any kind of control that we can get will be appreciated by everyone!
