Lasik Vision Lighting Up Lives

The health of our eyes should be our main concern, to avoid diminishing vision. Glasses to correct vision have been used through ages, and are still is popular as it is hassle free compared to contact lens fitting, which needs extra care.
Contact lens fitting has various steps to go through; firstly the condition of the eyes should be in accordance to the rules to be followed before putting on the lenses, secondly; Allergies and dryness in the eyes will result in deteriorating your ocular health. These details have to be kept in mind before switching to contact lenses.

Lasik vision corrective surgeries have now become immensely popular as people are coming to know of this latest technology. There are several types of lasik vision corrective surgeries that differ from each other very minimally.

Invented in the eighties, PRK or photose fractive keratectomy was the Lasik vision correction that was then the first use of the technology.

Though lasik is similar to PRK in many ways, its procedure comprises of exposing a deeper layer of cornea. This can result in delayed improvement and recuperation.

A flap using a microkerotome is made at the front of the eye in the Lasik vision correction but with PRK the outer layer of cornea is removed by the laser. This is one prominent difference between Lasik and PRK.

Lasik technology has further been used in other type of Lasik vision correction like custom Lasik, wave front Lasik and wave front guided Lasik. Custom Lasik is a procedure through which the laser is used to correct any irregularities by following the 3D map created to show the eye processing the image and how well it is doing it.

This method of Lasik vision correction brings out sharper vision and not as risky as the Lasik procedure used earlier.

Some improvements in procedure and technology is seen in the epi-Lasik type of Lasik vision correction. Here a epithelial separator-a blunt plastic tool is used to remove the flap instead of alcohol used in some laser vision corrective surgeries which can kill the epithelial cells.

In Lasek a very fine blade called a trephine is used to cut the flap and then alcohol solution is applied for an easier flap removal. Intralace Lasik is a type of Lasik vision correction that is a blade free method.

Two lasers are used in which one laser is used to create the flap and the other laser, meanwhile is used to reshape the cornea to correct the vision unlike the traditional Lasik in which a microkerotome is applied to create a flap in the cornea and then a cold beam laser reshapes the cornea to better the vision.

Patients with balanced and controlled systemic diseases can adhere effectively to this technology of Lasik vision correction. The other advantages are that one need not use contact lens fitting and glasses that sometimes can cause discomfort. Yet there are people of the opinion that glasses are the best options when it comes to taking care of the eye.

I have many allergies to plants. Should I avoid ... - Health and Fitness

Question by Red: I have many allergies to plants. Should I avoid herbal remedies just to be safe?
I have allergies to various plants that come and go with no warning. I know that, since I am allergic to daisies, I shouldn?t use echinacea (not sure if I spelled that right ? extract of purple coneflower, anyway) and ought to be careful with chamomile. When I was a child, my mother tried to ?cure? my hayfever by having me eat honey, and I almost died, so I?m more than a little worried about having another allergic reaction to herbal suppliments or natural treatments for illness, etc. However, I have some health problems that ?traditional? medicine doesn?t offer an effective treatment for, and I?d like to at least explore some other options. Should I stay away from herbal remedies and look for something else?

(I?d really appreciate it if replies are NOT someone just trying to sell me something. I?m looking for answers, not advertisments.)

Best answer:

Answer by banzai
if you?re allergic to so many things, then before you decide to take ANYTHING other than what a doctor prescribes you, go talk to your doctor about it to make sure there?s nothing in it to cause you a reaction.

Sonus Expands Session Border Controller Portfolio ... - VoIP News

Sonus Networks, a global leader in SIP communications, today announced the introduction of the Sonus SBC 5100, a session border controller that targets the 250 to 10,000 session market. The Sonus SBC 5100 is purpose-built to leverage SIP-based networks as enterprises and tier two/three service providers look to simplify their infrastructure and deploy video and Unified Communications features.

The third product in Sonus?

As the third product in Sonus? portfolio of SBC solutions, the Sonus SBC 5100 possesses the same characteristics that have made Sonus the fastest-growing SBC brand among service providers; growing nearly 4x faster than the market average.

SBCs provide secure access to SIP trunking, which enables enterprises to reduce costs and deliver new applications just as Unified Communications and video. SIP trunking, trunking consolidation and the move to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) can reduce traditional enterprise telecom bills by up to 75%. A recent Infonetics Technology report shows the enterprise SBC market up 60% from 2010 to 2011 and is expected to grow 26% year-over-year through 2016.

"SBCs are playing an increasingly important role as today's SIP-based networks are being asked to carry many types of traffic including voice, video, and multimedia over many different innovation manufacturers' products. Sonus helps normalize various vendors' interpretations of SIP usage," said David Lover, Vice President of Strategy and Research for Arrow S3, a leading systems integrator and managed services provider of Unified Communications solutions. "We have tested the Sonus SBC 5100 in our lab and have packaged it with Arrow S3 services and support so growing companies can simplify their networks and gain the benefits of SIP-based Unified Communications."

The performance of the Sonus SBC 5100

"We are impressed with the performance of the Sonus SBC 5100,? said Robert Smithers, CEO of Miercom, an independent test lab. ?Our testing showed that the Sonus SBC 5100 is resilient and robust in thwarting attack traffic. It can quickly recover from outages, and successfully processes up to 3,000 concurrent sessions at 150 calls per second. Miercom is proud to award Performance Verified for the Sonus SBC 5100."

?We have had the world?s most sophisticated enterprises turn to us for carrier-grade scale and capabilities as their multimedia traffic grew exponentially,? said David Tipping, Sonus Vice President and General Manager, SBC Business. ?The introduction of the Sonus SBC 5100 brings the most advanced SBC features demanded by service providers and packages them in a form that propels enterprise networks to perform efficiently so businesses can communicate smarter, faster, and more collaboratively than ever earlier.?

Resume Writers' Digest: Who I Am

I was inspired to write this post by an "introduce yourself" thread on the National Resume Writer's Association (NRWA) LinkedIn group. What I wrote ended up being too long for that forum, so I've printed it here.

My name is Bridget (Weide) Brooks. (The "Weide" part is my maiden name ... pronounced "Why-Dee.") I live in Omaha, Nebraska with my husband and business partner, Jon.

I've been writing resumes since the age of 12, when I wrote one for my dad, who was unemployed at the time. He got a job with the federal government, and I had found my new career! (Well, not really. Yet. And actually, I refer out clients wanting federal resumes nowadays. Hmm. Hadn't thought of that connection before.) Anyway, I revived my interest in resumes when competing at Nebraska's State Leadership Conference for the Future Business Leaders of America. In the "Job Interview" competition, high school seniors would prepare a resume and cover letter for a fictional company ("Merit") and then participate in mock interviews with real business leaders from the Omaha area. I was a pioneer in the tactic of actually targeting my resume and cover letter to Merit's needs. (Most people just wrote generic resumes and cover letters, because they didn't know what Merit did. I gave Merit an industry, market niche, and backstory and made that clear in the cover letter, so the interviewer could "play along" and making my interview much more effective than my peers.) I ended up being "Runner-up Ms. Future Business Leader of Nebraska."

More important, I came back for the next seven years and taught resume writing and job interviewing to each successive year's class of seniors competing at the State Leadership Conference. One highlight was when my younger sister won "Ms. Future Business Leader of Nebraska" and placed fourth in the national "Ms. Future Business Leader" event. (I also helped prepare approximately 120 graduating seniors for their future job searches!)

I began dating my now-husband, Jon, when we were seniors in high school. We dated all throughout college, and when it came time to graduate (both of us received a bachelor's degree in journalism with an emphasis in public relations from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1996), we decided to start our own business. We decided to focus on the emerging "SOHO" (Small Office, Home Office) market, helping other self-employed folks with their marketing and promotion. I also wrote resumes (a natural tie-in to the business, since it was helping individuals "market and promote" themselves). While we eventually changed the focus of the business from SOHO professionals to somewhat "larger" small businesses, I have continued to write resumes throughout all 16 years of our business. During that time, I also subcontracted as a resume writer for another resume writer and also for CareerPerfect (a national contracting firm).

In 1999, I started a trade newsletter (in print format) for resume writers -- Resume Writers' Digest -- because I had questions about the industry that I wanted answered, but the information I wanted wasn't available from the professional associations serving the market. I wanted concrete data about pricing, revenues, busy times of the year, services being provided, etc. -- so I initiated the Resume Writers' Digest Annual Industry Survey. I interviewed resume writers on topics as varied as operating a resume service from home (at a time when most resume writers -- including me -- had business offices), working as a subcontractor, and numerous marketing and promotion topics. One of our most popular features was "conference coverage" -- working with a team of freelance writers, we'd give you a sense of the key takeaways in?brief write-ups of the major sessions from professional association conferences.

Although we had several hundred subscribers, I discontinued the print publication in the Spring of 2005. I brought it back as an online-only newsletter in the Fall of 2007, publishing 2-4 issues annually. I've been blogging about topics of interest to resume writers since June 2007 (wow--coming up on five years now!). And, in September 2011, I launched a membership site for resume writers -- BeAResumeWriter.com -- offering access to all the back issues of Resume Writers' Digest, monthly teleseminars, and forms and templates for resume writers to use in their business. Plus, each month subscribers get a Special Report (like "Write Great Resumes Faster" and "Website Traffic Secrets for Resume Writers") and Pass-Along Materials, which is content you can put your name on and 'pass along' to your own resume clients and prospects. (These have been very popular -- previous topics have included Jobseeker's Guide to Salary Negotiation, Getting Started With LinkedIn In Your Job Search, and Jobseeker's Guide to Online Reputation Management). There is also a "Free" level option -- you get access to streaming audio recordings of previous teleseminars, special reports, and the current issue of Resume Writers' Digest.

I'm still writing interview-winning resumes -- although mostly for past clients these days. I'm also going to be speaking at the National Resume Writer's Association conference in Charleston in September on the topic of "How to Create Passive Income and Recurring Revenue for Your Career Services Business."

Op-Ed: A new way of doing business on food security | DuPont Food ...

This Op-Ed, co-authored by Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, President of Tanzania; Ellen Kullman, CEO of DuPont; and Dr. Rajiv Shah, Administrator of USAID,?was originally published on May 18, 2012 in TheHill.

Today, Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the fastest growing regions in the world, home to seven of the world?s fastest-growing economies. In fact, just this week, the International Monetary Fund?s Regional Economic Outlook for Sub-Saharan Africa projected Sub-Saharan Africa?s growth to remain above 5 percent ? faster than many newly industrialized Asian economies.

The major force behind this dramatic growth has been significant increases in private sector investment and trade in the region. Foreign direct investment flows to the continent now hover around $80 billion and trade has tripled over the last decade. But this private sector boom has largely missed Africa?s agricultural economy, favoring investments in resources like oil, gas and minerals.

As a result of decades of underinvestment, today Africa is the only continent that does not produce enough to feed its own citizens. Last year?s food crisis and famine in the Horn of Africa serve as a stark reminder that chronic hunger and malnutrition remain a persistent problem on the continent.
