10 Steps to Protecting Your Families Health at Home

Many people are not aware that the indoor air in their homes is on average 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air (source EPA) and in some cases can be 10 times worse. This becomes very relative when we realize that most of us spend 90% of our time indoors in our homes and at work.

Air and water are considered two essentials for human survival so it makes good sense to consider breathing the best quality air and drinking the best quality water we can to sustain a healthy life and improve our life span potential.

Recent medical science discoveries suggest that up to 50% of all diseases are either caused or affected by the air we breathe. Large increases in allergies especially those caused by indoor airborne allergy triggers like dust mites and similar microbes give us some indication.

Household cleaning chemicals and chemicals used in building materials and furniture now play a part in the make up of every living environment as they happily off gas their toxins on the innocents living there. Between 25% and 30% of all adults in the developed Western world now suffer from one allergy or another and recently in the UK the British Government has admitted that up to 40% of children of school going age suffer from allergies.

Major contributing factors have been the increased insulation of homes, central heating, double glazed windows, lack of ventilation, carpets and electrical products that produce BFR's (brominade fire-restraining chemicals) that are persistent, toxic and bio-accumulating and the over prescribing of anti-biotics epically to pregnant women as this interferes with the development of the immune system in the unborn.

The 10 Simple Steps

1. Reduce the number of carpets in your home and replace with hardwood flooring (not laminate), tiles or any good hard floor that is easily cleaned, is non-toxic, and will not be a breathing ground for microbes and dust mites.

2. Make sure you use a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter so you are not just redistributing dust around your home.

3. Leave your bedroom windows open for a while in the morning and pull back the bed covers so it is uncomfortable for bed bugs and dust mites. If you suffer with Asthma consider also using mattress and pillow protectors that are allergy approved.

4. Limit the use of open fires as they create a lot of dust particles in the air, a percentage of these will end up in your lungs if you are not careful. If you have to use fires make sure the room is well ventilated.

5. Keep the temperature as low as you can comfortably live within your indoor environment as this will inhibit the growth of microbes. This will also save you money on your heating bills in winter as most of us have our heating several degrees higher than we actually need. Give your living areas a good airing as often as you can by opening windows and doors for short periods.

6. Use a few good air purifiers like Healthway units which are mobile and use a new state of the art technology called EMF which filters the air but also destroys bacteria and viruses etc.

7. Use allergy friendly cleaning materials and bed linen.

8. Make sure all areas in your home that create steam like your kitchen, showers and bathrooms have air extraction units so mold and spores do not get a chance to establish themselves on damp surfaces. Watch out for dark patches on ceilings and walls which usually means mold and breathing spores that can cause respiratory problems for the very young and the elderly.

9. If you have to have pets in the home keep them away from carpeted areas and bedrooms.

10. Prohibit smoking in the home if you have babies or elderly living there.

Trademark Issues in the Mobil Auto Business

There have always been trademark issues and lawsuits in the mobile auto service business. I know this because I own several such businesses. We first noticed a competitor in the Mobile Auto Detailing Business, which had a name "Mobile Auto Services" another "Mobile Oil Change" and still another "Mobile Car Care". Mobil Oil Company was marketing at the time their Gas Station Service Centers as "Mobil Auto-Services" "Mobil Car Care" and "Mobil Auto Care."

Mobile Oil even filed one case against a company in Mobile Alabama, which used the name Mobile in its Auto Service Business. These cases occur more often than you think. Many times infringers do it on purpose to get easier name recognition, while at other times it is just coincidence, either way as the World gets closer together you can bet the problem will become more prevalent and more serious.

If you don't think this is an issue, check out this case with Kellogg's "Tony the Tiger" and Mobil Oil Company's "Tiger Mart." I guess you have to ask yourself "Whoooose Great"

http://www.eura.com/steffen/jura/aktuelles/texte/tony_kellogs_vs_exxon_tiger.htm

Whether or not you agree with the verdicts in these trademark infringement cases, the company with the greatest dollars often is victorious. Speaking of Victorious...Victor's Secrets, an adult store, has won a case where Victoria Secret, a 4 Billion Dollar a year marketer of lingerie, was not entitled to seek a cease and desist from the Proprietor of Victor's Secret, whose real name was Bob or something like that.

In the case of McDonalds, they sue just about everyone with anything even closely resembling their name and they have so much case law now that they usually win everything, you might beat them but it would cost you $190,000 +, as was the most recent case where it went to a very high court and McDonalds won anyway.

We have seen previously in California where Oil Max was taken by a San Diego company and the former Oil Max mobile oil change company changed their name to Oil Maxx, with two X's; unfortunate, but true. In a Trademark case at the Federal Level this would not even be possible, first use has rights, but even a federal trademark must be defended otherwise you lose certain rights to it's use.

Now we see again Where Pitts Stop Mobile Oil Change is using a similar paint scheme to the Pitts Stop for this major C-Store Chain where some offices also have Oil Changing. If they are ever going to be in the same market one company will have to yield if both companies cannot agree, problem being that there is a good chance they will be direct competitors, in which case there could easily be a lawsuit. One company he fixed sites are based in Las Vegas and the other is based in Riverside CA that is fairly close and so far neither company is so big that it matters. In franchising such as in Mobil Service Stations, Brand Name means a lot. So to will it in the future as one or more of these companies might make it to a point where there is a confusion. In a down economy there is also a potential for one or more companies to go out of business thus abandoning any use of such a mark therefore making such an example of this type very irrelevant.

Before you go into an auto business or any business for that matter, check on the use of the names and pay attention, these issues are easy to fix before you start, but once you grow large the costs in loss of brand name recognition if you have to change the name could be in the millions, think about it. I know you will.

Accessibility Matters: Text to Speech

Converting text to speech has been a hot topic for many years. Not only because this is significant technological advantage, but because of the importance of its uses.

Converting text to speech or the so called speech synthesis is the artificial production of human speech. A text to speech system converts normal language text to speech. The two most important factors of the process are the similarity of the artificial voice to a human one and its ability to be understood.

Nowadays computers are used to convert text to speech. The first computer that was able to do this was developed in the late 1950s and the first complete text-to-speech system was completed in the early 70s. Since then the process of developing better text to speech systems continues. The main challenges in front the people developing TTS systems are to improve the semantic representation of the text being converted, to improve the pronunciation according the punctuation within the text, to improve the pronunciation of the words within the text.

The most common use of the text to speech systems is providing accessibility for people with serious disabilities. Visually impaired, people with dyslexia or other reading difficulties can use computers, read and work normally because of the text to speech systems. Converting text to speech is used by pre-literate children, by companies seeking ways to improve their customer service or developing mobile phone applications.

It is not hard to get a text to speech converter. Nowadays all computer operation systems support it. Apple was the first that integrated a TTS system into their operation system. During the years they invested into developing the feature and now their operation systems come with a fully supported program to text conversion Plain Talk. Windows users can also benefit from TTS integrated into the operating system. Windows systems also feature a voice recognition engine so that voice commands cn be given to the computer. All Windows versions after Windows 95 have a speech synthesis program called Narrator, directly available to users. Moreover Windows Server 2003 features a complete package for voice synthesis and recognition, for commercial applications such as call centers. Linux users can also benefit from text to speech applications such as Festival Speech Synthesis System.

Internet also offers various text to speech synthesis tools. Power Text to Speech Reader and Text Aloud are just an example of software that can read messages from a mail client or web browser. Since the latest trend in web development is mainly to make web more accessible, many websites implement narrators to help disabled people read their websites.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Truck Wash?

Many folks want to build a truck wash and then start making a business plan. They go look at a truck wash and then think to themselves, well I can build something like that cheap enough. Get a steal building, put down some concrete, buy some equipment and suddenly I am in business right? Sure, in theory.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a Truck Wash? Well, down and dirty somewhere between $225K to $400K not including property. I have seen them done cheaper, but generally by the time it is completed it comes out to a heck of a lot more. And once you build a truck wash you want to be sure it makes money to pay off all those loans and the ROI on the property too. But what about the cost of the truck washing services? Well consider about $28.50 to $35.00 average ticket. Now most truck washes get a good $45 to $ 55 for a tractor trailer rig, but due to some local fleet deals, some bobtails and full price combos the average is generally lower. As the Founder of the Truck Wash Guys often new entrants into the market will ask me questions about the industry for instance this recent question;

"The truck wash model appears very compelling. Do you have any rules of thumb as to what I should expect to pay to build one, what ticket average I might look for, and how much I can expect to drop to the bottom line?"

The answer is that these costs vary by region and it is not such a simple answer. Although I do hope you learned a little bit from todays discussions? I certainly hope this article is of interest and that is has propelled thought. The goal is simple; to help you in your quest to be the best in 2007. I thank you for reading my many articles on diverse subjects, which interest you.

Selecting a Toll Free number?

Toll Free numbers have gone a long way; nowadays there are hundreds of toll free companies and resellers out there that provide the same basic features. Enhancements on telephone applications enabled toll free service to acquire most if not, all of the telephone applications inherent in landline services.

Consumers now look for quality of service provided by telecommunication companies with respect to appropriate pricing. The advancement of T1 lines and their corresponding circuits, colocation and cooperation between competing companies now allowed to consumer to call different networks which was just a dream 10 years ago. Now wireless phones, VoIP phones, enhanced landline, drives voice communication to its peak.

Analysts believe that wireless communication is going to take over as the main medium of mass media in the near future as wireless bandwidth becomes faster and more secure. Businesses are now trying to integrate as much of their well-invested telecommunication products to wireless and web based applications. Toll Free numbers are a staple for a successful business venture, proven again and again by many different experts, white papers, feasibility studies and old fashion experience. Technology convergence remains fast but what will happen to toll free numbers?

VoIP long distance companies are able to provide toll free service, which is nothing, more than a collect call forwarding service at a much cheaper price than most stand alone toll free providers. Consumers are still wary of using VoIP phone, which have major disadvantages such as calling emergency numbers like 911. Consumers believe that the lack of access to such important government service is not worth the price of reduced long distance cost.

Toll free numbers however, which are dependent on incoming rather than out going minutes are less affected by this and is able to fight and win on a service price war.

The minute cost of toll free numbers has been drastically reduced for the past few years but are they really cheaper? Toll free providers have found myriads of ways to increase profit by adding additional monthly service fees on top of your phone subscription, minimum monthly minutes, expiring pre paid minutes, and the biggest scam of all to win the price war is the multiple leg pricing scheme.

Toll Free numbers as explained before are call forwarding service, which effectively makes it 2 phone calls. The first call from the original caller to the toll free service provider, then another call from the toll free service provider to the service subscriber. This is a great opportunity to charge for more while legally advertising a cheaper price. This annoys consumers but found it difficult to change service provider or acquiring a new number. Vanity numbers are hard to find and takes a week to register. For most businesses the cost of changing service providers is very expensive on wasted time and opportunities

A lot of consumers dont know that their numbers are portable and can be used on any service provider assuming proper legal procedures have been done; this normally takes just as long as registering a new vanity number. There are people who also thought that Telcos such as AT&T have more numbers in their database for them to choose from, what they dont realize is that all toll free companies get their number availability from the same place.

Today even experienced toll free service subscriber still fall for tricks made by service provider to make money. The best advice for a good deal is the same as any other consumer advice, shop around, be thorough, and find great toll free service providers out there.

With all of the media attention about health, most people are very much aware of the overall benefit of physical fitness and being physically fit. However, knowing the overall benefit and understanding the details of how it affects your body are two totally different things. So the purpose of this article is to provide you with the specific benefits of how physical fitness affects your health, your body, and your life. And, one of the easiest ways to show you is by breaking down the benefits in terms of the 5 components of physical fitness. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, but it is definitely enough to help you see the tremendous benefit of physical fitness.

- A high fat ratio is a sign of a greater chance of developing coronary heart disease, diabetes, joint and back pains, arthritis and higher risk of tendon-muscular accidents and injuries due to inactivity

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, it is by no means an exhaustive list, but it is a great start for your understanding. As a matter of fact, one of the biggest and most important benefits is what being healthy and physically fit can do for you mentally. A few things were mentioned above about the mental benefits but the impact is much greater.

When youre physically fit, sure your body feels great and physically you look good, but the mental benefits are absolutely priceless. Imagine having the peace of mind to handle life, the everyday events, and just whatever comes your way without letting it wear you down. In addition, you feel sharper and think more clearly.

Getting started with fitness is easy, because you can start by doing something every day of the week or just once a week and work your way up to at least three days a week for just 20 minutes a day. It doesnt matter, because the key is to start somewhere anywhere. Just start! I promise you will never regret it.
