Smoking is a Dangerous Habit

Smoking is one of the most dangerous habits to pick up for a person and it is even more dangerous for people with asthma or heart problems. Smoking includes products filled with tobacco and is inhaled into the lungs through a cigarette, pipe, cigar or bongs. The most popular form of nicotine smoking today involves the cigarette. It is so popular that over one billion people across the world partake in smoking tobacco.

Smoking is a major health risk because it can cause heart attacks, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even cause birth defects of children born from women who smoked while pregnant. Smoking firsthand is not the only danger. Secondhand smoke has also led to the aforementioned conditions of people who do not smoke but are in the company of those who do smoke. The dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke have forced many cities and even states within the United States to create public smoking bans. Many bans have made it illegal to smoke in restaurants, bars, casinos and arenas, where smoking once was permitted inside the buildings.

Smoking has become such an important discussion because of its side effects that any advertisements promoting smoking, cigarettes, or tobacco products have been banned from television and magazines. The death rate in the United States from smoking has reached almost 500,000 deaths per year and some experts predict that 1/3 of Chinese men will have their lives shortened because of complications from smoking.

Smoking has been traced back to as early as 5,000 BC and once it was introduced to Americans it started to make appearances in art paintings across America and Europe. Figures in the paintings would be simply holding a lit cigarette or be smoking from it in the painting. Smoking also has made countless appearances in other areas of popular culture. Smoking is extremely prominent in films and literature. The most famous movie star smoker was Humphrey Bogart and the most famous literature character smoker was Sherlock Holmes.

It is estimated by doctors across the globe that people who smoke will live somewhere between 2.5 to 10 years less than non-smokers. Close to one-half of male smokers will die due to an illness from smoking. The main forms of cancer caused by smoking are lung, kidney, breast, larynx, bladder, esophagus and colorectal cancer.

Smoking is also linked to cardiovascular disease because several of the ingredients in the tobacco cause a narrowing of the blood vessels, which increases the likelihood of a blockage within the arteries, which in turn can cause a stroke or a heart attack. Smoking or chewing tobacco can also cause oral cancer while also deteriorating the teeth and the gums.

There are a variety of ways for smokers to quit their bad habit. Tobacco and nicotine are extremely addicting drugs that can be difficult to pull away from. Some ways of quitting smoking are using nicotine replacement therapies which include gum and the patch, hypnosis, quitting ‘cold turkey’ and acupuncture.

Smoking is a dangerous habit to employ, especially for people with pre-existing heart conditions or asthma, and smoking bans are a result of the effects from secondhand smoke. Despite the difficulty of breaking the bad habit it can be done and can be done in enough time to prolong life.

How to Get Financial Support as a Community Group

• Do you need funds?

• Do you need a quality hosted web site with easy to use content management?

• Would you like it for free?

Look no further or should it be listen, as Phoenix Community Radio Station www.phoenixfm.co.uk offers fantastic free services that any group can simply access.

Howard Priestley a driving force behind Phoenixfm 96.7 said “As a not for profit organisation we take seriously the support of the community groups of Calderdale. We are continually asked can we find someone to interview who can help our local groups generate funds. We have spent many hours sourcing interviews with high ranking interesting individuals but as this is Yorkshire our listeners response was simple and forceful - Not stuffed shirts and fancy words but solutions please.”

The Free Service:

We approached one of our local rotary Clubs in Sowerby Bridge who we know well to see if they had any ideas. One of their members soon put us on the track of an effective solution using Yahoo.com that would give all groups a fundraising service and web site for free. We were extremely suspicious but soon found out that a watered down version of this service has been used for years by charities but this has now been made much, much more effective. The new service genuinely allows small and large groups to generate ongoing monthly unrestricted income.

So rather than just talk about it on the station we thought we would offer the service to any groups anywhere on our site. So now anyone anywhere can access it from the Phoenix website.

What you get:

Phoenix FM get more traffic, plus hopefully some new on-line listeners and you get an effective free fundraising service from Yahoo with Free Website and Free hosting.

What others Say:

Here are some comments from users of this fantastic free service.

“We are now taking advantage of the new offering, which once again looks like being a real winner for us and our supporters” John Savage - Executive Director, Nightingale House Hospice.

“When people approach me for help with their fundraising they often want to be more creative and less grant reliant. Ultimately they want unrestricted income. I tell them about this exciting new opportunity. It’s easy to set up; there are no lengthy forms to fill in, difficult questions to answer or long waiting times. You really can make every day a fundraising day….and once your supporters know about it they will be keen to raise money for you simply by doing what they do already… search on the internet.” Lee Peacock Consulting - Fundraising Training and Development

“With very little effort it provides you with a new way to encourage existing and new supporters to generate income through simply changing their internet habits. We are also not just talking about generating pennies, but serious income as we are already benefiting from hundreds of pounds”. Gareth Morgan - Everyday Champions Centre

“Being paid for using a service we were already using sounds too good to be true - but it isn’t” Mike Lawton - Lymm High School.

Carhartt Clothing & Working in Dangerously Cold Weather

You may already know all too well the dangers of working in the severe cold. While it might be nice if you could stay indoors to do your job on those particularly frigid days, that’s just not in the cards for many occupations. The good news is you can take precautions to protect yourself from these dangers and Carhartt Clothing can help you make that happen.

The Risks of Cold Weather

Before we get into how Carhartt Clothing can protect you in frigid conditions, we first need to address the particular dangers you could be facing without the proper protection from the elements. Two of the worst problems are hypothermia and frostbite.

Even if you are active, you can still suffer from hypothermia when your core temperature drops thanks to exposure to a combination of low temperatures and a biting wind chill. In its final stages, hypothermia resembles death. The disorder can and is often fatal if quick actions are not taken. The second concern is frostbite. Frostbite reduces the blood circulation in the hands, feet, face, and ears and can even lead to gangrene in those parts. Even when frostbite is treated, severely affected body parts will always be more prone to frostbite in the future.

Protecting Yourself

Carhartt Clothing can play an important role in protecting yourself from these conditions. For example, you’re going to want waterproof or water-repellant clothing when the temperatures are not just cold but also snowy or damp. Carhartt Clothing has two entire collections dedicated to these specific demands. The collections include tops, bottoms, jackets, and other attire that is going to protect you. Remember wet skin is more vulnerable to frostbite and can lower your core temperature faster.

Having good headwear is also important when you’re working outdoors. A great deal of body heat can escape through the head but by wearing a hat you can hold more of it and prevent a drop in temperature. Carhart caps are a good idea but Carhartt Clothing also offer a line of hoods which can provide greater protection by keeping the ears warm and less vulnerable to frostbite.

Choosing Good Socks

Socks are an important part of staying warm in harsh environments. Carhartt Clothing offers a wide variety of socks that are going to be perfect for protecting not only these extremities but also for helping maintain your body temperature. Remember to avoid cotton socks which can hold in moisture and have the opposite effect on your body. Carhartt Clothing offer some cold weather socks made from blend of acrylic, nylon, wool, and spandex which makes them warm but also thin enough not to restrict blood flow and cause your body to cool down too fast.

Gloves

Of all the attire you need, one of the most important is going to be your gloves. These provide protection from the wind and cold for your fingers which are one of the most vulnerable to frostbite. Carhartt Clothing carries an entire line of work gloves that are ideal for working and staying warm.

WorkWear1.com offers a great selection of Carhartt Clothing in addition to a wide variety of Carhartt Outerwear and many other Carhartt Clothing items.

Got a Lot of Business Card Holders? Use Them Now!

You might find yourself in a position where you have plenty of business card holders but limited business cards to put in, or even no business cards at all. You might be a student with no need for business cards yet (just the gift card and the check from your parents would do, thank you very much) or a new graduate starting out your career (a call card is more appreciated) or embarking on a new career.

Traditional Uses

Business card holders serve one main purpose - to keep business cards organized, clean and crisp. As much as you do not want to receive crumpled cards, you also do not want to give creased cards. In business as in life, first impressions last and your business cards are no exception.

Again, the question of what you should do with business card holders that are overflowing your drawer. You certainly cannot throw them away or give them away, especially when these are personalized! Not only is that a waste of practical items, it is also an insult to the gift-giver.

Creative Uses

Most business card holders are slim and sleek. With a variety of colors, finishing, and construction, you can use them for a variety of purposes like:

* Substitutes for wallets, especially the thin metal holders. You can stuff your driver’s license, credit cards and bills without worrying about bulging pants pockets and suit pockets. Besides, thieves and pickpockets will not think that money is present in the card holder because that is not what it is for.

This way you can travel light, literally. You can work with your hands free of purses and have fun without worrying about your bag’s safety. You can go to clubs and dance the night away, watch movies without purses sticking to floors, and attend formal events with virtually nothing on your hands. Just the many ways you can travel light!

A welcome advantage to metal business card holders as card holders is the prevention of unauthorized scanning of your debit and credit cards that use an RFDI chip. Your leather wallet does not have this property. At least, your credit and debit card information will not be compromised and you do not end up with empty wallets, figuratively speaking.

* Carriers for small items you need organized. How about your calorie-free sugar packets that your favorite coffeehouse does not carry? How about your specialty tea bags, instant coffee sachets, and creamer envelopes? How about the spice packets you cannot live without? Truly, you can repack your beloved powders and stash them conveniently. You can opt for the thicker card holders in this case.

* Temporary containers for small receipts. Often, these small receipts are stuffed inside your wallet’s compartments or shoved into your bag’s pockets. And often too, you have a hard time looking for them when you need them the most. Why not put them in a business card holder appropriately labeled for the purpose?

Put your imagination to use and you certainly can find other creative uses for your business card holders. And when you do, tell us about it!

For the most versatile business accessories, go for an engraved money clip and engraved business card holders only at ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com now! But business card holders are not the only things you will find there! Check them out now and see for yourself.

Too Many Office-Given Engraved Pocket Watches? Recycle Them!

Often, the heads of committees for corporate giveaways and gifts for employees run out of steam. Put yourself in their shoes and you will find that mass gift-giving on a yearly basis can be a mind-numbing experience, not to mention a daunting task considering that you have to find a gift that fits everybody, fits into the budget and fits in the pockets. So, they settle for mundane and recurring items like engraved pocket watches! Do you hear dismayed groans? Or is it just you?

But never worry. You can recycle these accumulated engraved pocket watches without a trace of guilt and without leaving a trace on your wallets.

Sell Them on eBay

Or any other selling sites you prefer. Do not think for a moment that nobody will take interest in these items, not when they are so common, so crass, and so cranky. Somebody, somewhere in the Internet universe will have use for them in ways you will tell yourself you should have thought about first. Who said regrets come before the action anyway?

But if you remain ignorant of these uses, then you will be selling these engraved pocket watches without a trace of remorse and with money on your wallet, to boot.

Sell Them in a Yard Garage Sale

Garage sales are curious things. You sell stuff you do not use and others buy your stuff they will have no use for either. Then again, many a valuable artwork has been discovered in the trash and in yard sales, which is not to say your corporate-embossed pocket watches will be the next Patek Philippe that sold for $11 million dollars at Sotheby’s in December 1999. You wish.

Give Them to Friends and Family

Your friends and family might have use for these watches, again in ways you never dreamed possible. Not to mention, absolutely ridiculous and borderline insane but do not let them hear you say that.

For example, take your relative who never goes out without his assortment of watches. He has one on his wrist, one on his cellphone, one in his suit pocket and one in his head. He will definitely appreciate your gifts of engraved pocket watches, never mind the corporate logo.

You might even have a friend who lives by the clock. Her life is ruled by a pre-arranged schedule, deviations of which can send her into a frenzy. You can give her the atomic pocket watches so that she knows she is perfectly in sync with the rest of the universe’s ticking clock.

Use Them as Decorations

Not on your body though unless you want to be a walking advertisement for your company and an easy target of the fashion police. You can string your unused engraved pocket watches all together and make a unique conversational decoration in your living room, a kind of mobile art piece. Do any artist proud, eh?

Or you can display those in the bathroom to remind your teenage daughter of the time she spends doing her thing while others are raring to do theirs.

When all else fails, you can always use your engraved pocket watches as bomb timers to remind the committees that

* Yes, you are tired of these watches

* No, you are not joking

Then again, why not just throw them away, right?

You will be loath to discard watches from the ExecutiveGiftShoppe.com, especially the elegant Colibri pocket watch and the sturdy mechanical pocket watch. For engraved pocket watches that will truly be treasures, visit them now!

What You Must Know About Pepper Spray Before Buying

Pepper spray allows victims to defend themselves against an assailant. There are sprays meant to defend against other humans, dogs, and even bears. When sprayed in the aggressor’s eyes, the results are temporary, but effective. When hit with pepper spray, one will feel an intense pain that will cause the eyes to close immediately. Thereafter, the eyes will tear up, and temporary blindness may occur. Eventually, the assailant will have difficulty breathing, may experience a coughing fit, a runny nose, and a burning sensation on his or her skin.

Pepper spray is a chemical compound made from the capsicum plant. The active ingredient is Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), thus, the spray is commonly referred to as OC spray, or OC gas. The strength of the spray will determine the duration of its effects. Generally, the effects last for about 45 minutes, and gradually subside after that. Although no long-term effects have been discovered, there have been deaths said to be caused by pepper spray, usually in the case of asthmatics or other people with allergies to the pepper being sprayed.

Before purchasing pepper spray, you should be aware of the different types. The Scoville Heat Units Scale (SHU) is used to rate the hotness of a pepper. Generally, pepper spray used by common people and the police force holds a rating of about 1 to 2 million. To give you a frame of reference, the lowest rating is a zero, for a bell pepper, and the highest is about 15 million, for pure capsaicin. Pepper sprays are also measured for there capsicum content. When considering which pepper spray you want, it is not recommended to purchase any spray with more than a 5% capsicum content. Anywhere between 2% and 5% is advised, because the thinner the spray is, the faster it will work. These are all things to look for on the label of the spray when purchasing in a store. If shopping online, do not purchase a spray that does not give you all of these details.

Pepper sprays also come in a variety of canisters. Some sprays are meant for a person’s pocket, in which case the canister may look like a pen or a money clip. Other canisters may look similar to a pager, or an automatic lock/unlock for a car, and will fit on a keychain. There are also larger canisters meant for use in the home that may be in the shape of a fire extinguisher. Canisters will hold anywhere from
