Alternative Health

My mother, who is extremely health conscious lately, has been searching the internet extensively on ways to stay not only healthy but look younger as well. I guess at the age of 67, she is beginning to feel the effects of aging and the ravages on her body, for example, her painful knee due to osteoarthritis, hence her active search for anti aging products.

Earlier today, I was informed of Oxis, a company that offers Ergothioneine, an antioxidant product, (you can visit the company at their website http://www.oxis.com by the way), which I think my mother will be interested in.

I have to admit I have shallow knowledge on terms like glutathione and free radical, though I am interested in their penny stocks, but my mother would understand what Oxis is all about after I have showed her Oxis on facebook too, besides its website.

If you are looking for an antioxidant product, perhaps you should check out Oxis too since it is said to be the top producer of pure l-ergothioneine.

Google May Face Legal Action in France Over Street View

France is one of the countries, besides New Zealand, that is going to investigate Google for their Street View service, which “accidentally” scooped up sensitive data belonging to Wi-Fi users using unsecured connections, after Google admitted to doing so in over 30 countries…. 30 countries and they still claim it’s an accident. Yeah, right.

However, Google has assured that they will delete whatever sensitive information if France asked them to. Well, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to wipe off information gathered this way from ALL countries without being asked to do so?

Whether Google will be prosecuted in France is still not known yet right now but the data protection agency of the country is already carrying out investigations after Google was asked to hand over the information they have gathered.

Well, what do you think? Should Google be prosecuted in New Zealand, France or any of the countries that Google has sneakily scooped up information from?

Looking For Gold Eagle Coins Online

My mother, who has been collecting coins for decades, has now started to dabble into investing in coins. That’s serious stuff but because she loves coins, she finds it very easy to pick up.

I am very proud that my mother has learned how to make use of the internet to look for ways to buy gold eagle coins. I guess when she has a passion for something, she would push herself to learn.

My mother is a new web user so I pointed out to her that when it comes to purchasing coins, she should only purchase from authorized dealers so that she is guaranteed of getting genuine coins. I may not know anything about coins or investing in coins but I know how to be safe and secure online.

Change Google Background Image

So Google finally allows us to change our Google background from plain ol’ white to something else. Clicking on a small link on the bottom left of our Google Search window, calls up an image box where we could either upload our own image from our computer, use an image from our Picasa album or select an image from a pool of approved images grouped in a Public Gallery or Editor’s Picks.

If you are using any image of your own, either uploaded from your computer or one in your Picasa album, if has to be at least 800 X 600 pixels in size. Other than that, you can use whatever image you like, probably even photos of adult nature.

I find it rather amused that Google only thought about this now. Three or four years ago, those of us who are already bored with Google’s plain homepage have already used a similar, albeit third party, service called Groovle. It achieves the same results.

Anyway, I didn’t use a Google background for long and went back to default because I felt that the page loads slower. It may not be noticeable if you have a high end computer but it’s still slower to me.

Consulting With Des Moines Chiropractor

A friend told me about his backache that he is suffering from recently. At first, he thought that it’s just arthritis, but test has shown that it’s actually an old injury that was caused by falling off a horse. My friend told me that it happened such a long time ago that he forgot about the incident, until the pain returned.

My friend thinks that a chiropractor could help and it doesn’t need as drastic a measure as surgery suggested by his doctor. Of course, surgery is a big procedure and recuperation period would take too long. My friend lives alone and would have no one around to help him. Surgery would be highly impractical at this point.

I told him about a Des Moines chiropractor that I read about. I think he may be able to help. My friend may not live in Des Moines but I think it would not be a problem for him to travel. It’s just a short trip to the Des Moines Chiropractic center, after all.

I don’t know if my friend will see through my suggestion. I figure that if he’s desperate enough, he would surely consult with the Chiropractor in Des Moines. I can’t wait to get his updates and hope that he will be pain-free soon.

Doing affordable-papers.net this helps to ensure that all probable points of view are considered and does not ignore any possible biases within the audience.

NZ Police to Investigate Google WiFi Data

Police in New Zealand will be investigating Google for the personal wireless internet data that the company gathered during its filming of Street View feature in New Zealand. Did Google commit a criminal offense?

Last month, Google admitted that they “accidentally” collected such data from (get this!) over 30 countries that it went to film its Street View feature. New Zealand is only one of the countries. And they say it’s an “accident”?

I am wondering, why before New Zealand, no one has even found out what Google has been doing. I am sure Google know that that have procured such data and I am sure they have good use for it still, how come New Zealand was able to find out the truth behind Google’s Street View car where others have failed to be even suspicious of them?

I sure am glad that the truth is laid bare, finally. I don’t think that I am affected because I believe Google Street Car didn’t even come near my area, or was it ever in Malaysia, in any case, at least we all know what Google’s all about besides it’s Search.

Never Too Old To Study

A friend told me that he is tired of looking for a job. Since the day he was laid off, he has been sending out job applications to prospective employers and although he has heard from a handful of them, he has not been successful so far.

According to my friend, he should just forget about looking for a job right now and seriously think about going back to school. He said that he has been looking at research college degrees and trying to determine where his interest lies. It’s like a self-discovery process.

Certainly there is no harm in hitting the books again and I really respect him for that. I know that after all that I have been through since leaving school, I can never concentrate on books again. Come to think of it, when I was in school, I couldn’t wait to get rid of ’em books!

Still, I think that being out of job has created an ideal opportunity for him to evaluate and upgrade himself. Losing a job is not totally a bad thing.
