Health: Why Needle-less IV ports Are Better?

In the past, I was always afraid of needles. Whenever there's a routine health check up at school and flu shots are being given, I would do everything I can to avoid getting the shots. And yet, I still get the shots anyway. When I discovered my passion for caregiving, I decided to get rid of my fear of needles. But still, there are times when I'd squirm whenever I see one of my elderly patients getting an IV for their medical condition. Now, since we are talking about IV's, I'm pretty sure you're familiar with the traditional needle IV's. I really hate it because it prevents you from moving your hand. If you do, the needle will get dislodged and the nurse will have to take it out and re-insert the needle IV port into your hand again! Good thing though that a few years later, the needle-less IV ports were now available. When I got sick a few times as an adult, the hospital where I was...

World: Buying Happiness with Money - Is It Really Impossible?

As a kid, I grew up in a traditional house. My parents were devout Christians, so I got the usual Christian upbringing together with my siblings. Life back then was fun, since I was still just a kid and did not have to worry about not having food, clothing and our basic needs. Ignorance is bliss, what can I say. However, as I got older, I slowly realized that life is actually boring and filled with problems. Whenever I asked my Mom and Dad as to why a couple of street children are running happily along the road, despite looking ragged and dirty, they'd smile and tell me that they're still happy because they're together. Then I'd ask "How come? They don't have any good clothes and they don't eat that much. They don't have any money. So why are they still happy?" My Dad would say "Son, money can't buy happiness." along with a smile. So there goes my early adulthood. After years of...

World: Blast from the Past: The Top Five Popular Cars of the 1950's.

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } --> The era of the 1950's was a colorful chapter in United States history. With World War 2 finally over, everyone was keen on forgetting the horrible events that transpired for the past years and are now looking forward to a new beginning. The 1950's also ushered the age of automobile engineering and through the following years, the great grandfathers of today's modern car were born, modified, and used in the streets. When I was still a kid, I saw pictures of my parents posing for a picture with a shiny new Lincoln Continental car. My dad recalled that in those days, the Lincoln was the exact equivalent of a flashy BMW car today. From that point on, I've always been interested with cars that were popular during the 1950's. It's probably because I got too bored of looking at the new car designs of today. Indeed, if...
