XHALE ASSURANCE® | A Philips Company
Nasal Alar SpO2 Sensor
The next generation of pulse oximetry
Traditional digit-based pulse oximetry presents several challenges to effectively and efficiently monitoring a patient's parameters. Because of the distance from a patient's heart to the fingertip or toes, a digit-based pulse oximetry sensor can result in slower detection of saturation changes which can delay critical decision making.
Standard pulse oximeters using sensors on the patient's digit fail to work in a variety of common clinical conditions that lead to diminished blood flow to the digits, including patient shock (low blood pressure from a variety of causes), patient anxiety, peripheral vascular disease (a disease of blood vessels outside the heart), the advanced age of the patient (the elderly tend to have less blood circulation), abnormally low patient body temperature (including hypothermia), swelling of the digits and the administration of many drugs that decrease peripheral blood flow. In addition, during surgery a patient's hands are frequently covered or wrapped, providing limited access to the anesthesiologist. The digit placement of the oximetry sensor also often results in the sensors being dislodged, resulting in loss-of-signal alarms.
Our Assurance® technology offers several advantages to existing digit-based oximetry:
- monitoring a branch of the internal carotid, which provides blood to the brain, at the nasal ala site enables faster detection of oxygen saturation changes, reducing the lag-time between hypoxia in the brain and notification on the oximetry monitor;
- the nasal ala site location of our sensors has no clinically significant sympathetic tone, and therefore, does not lose signal due to patients being cold, anxious or in stress;
- monitoring at the nasal ala site is less negatively affected when patients experience diminished peripheral perfusion, reducing loss of signal incidents resulting from cardiovascular disease, hypovolemia or from the administration of vasoactive medications;
- the nasal ala site is generally not subject to signal distortion due to ambient light interference (which occurs when a bright light, such as a light used during surgery, interferes with a pulse oximetry sensor);
- the strong signal provided by the nasal ala site provides consistent accuracy, even at very low oxygen saturations;
- the nasal ala site location of our sensors makes the sensor less likely to be dislodged, reducing loss-of signal alarms;
- the nasal ala attachment site generally is easily accessed during surgery; and
- the non-adhesive attachment of our Assurance® sensors makes the sensors easy to reposition and allows use for lengthy procedures or long stays.
The nasal ala, the fleshy part of the nose adjacent to the opening of the nares (nostril), is a region rich in vasculature that offers a unique monitoring site for pulse oximetry.
This site is fed by both the external and internal carotid arteries. The internal carotid provides blood to the brain, and this multi-directional arterial supply provides strong, reliable photoplethysmography signals that are rapidly responsive to changes in the patient's arterial oxygen saturation.
Unlike the extremities, this measurement site is less susceptible to patient movement and loss of signal due to variations in peripheral perfusion. And it is easily accessed by an anesthesiologist during surgery.
Placement of the Assurance® Nasal Alar SpO2 Sensor is simple, fitting comfortably on the nasal ala. Because secure sensor placement does not depend upon adhesive attachment, the sensor is easily removed and reapplied as necessary for use throughout the length of the patient's hospital stay.

How to Install Roman Blinds
August 4, 2015 by Joshua
Filed under General Tips
Roman blinds are gaining a new popularity when it comes to redecorating homes and offices. The main reasons for this is that they create soft and free flowing shapes in any room along with being incredibly simple to install. You'll see just how simple it is to install these blinds as you read on.
To begin with, you'll need to understand exactly what you're doing and what sort of equipment you'll need. Typically, these include scissors, screwdriver, drill with bits, tape measure, spirit level and a pencil. It's also advisable to wear the right sort of protective clothing like safety glasses.
The sort of mounting will, of course, be determined by the surface you're attaching the blind to. In order to mount the blind to a wood surface, the blind will generally come with the perfect screws to use. However, when mounting them onto plaster or a wall, it's usually better to use the drill and wall plugs. This gives it a solid fit.
When the preliminary checks are finishes, you can figure out how to best hang the blind. There are generally three methods to do this. These are outside mounting, inside mounting and ceiling mounting. If you choose inside mounting, this will put the blind inside the window casing. The outside mounting will have them sitting outside of the window casing. Obviously, the ceiling mounting will have the blind hanging from the ceiling.
Measuring where the holes need to go is vital to hanging a blind correctly. You can do this by using a tape measure and a pencil. You'll also need to check how far down the blind drops. You certainly don't want a blind that's too short for the window as that's hardly effective. In addition, if you measure and mark where the blind needs to go, it helps make sure it hangs the right way.
When the Roman blind is installed, you should be able to adjust the height you want it to rest at. This can be done by using the side cords. You just need to make sure that you've set the cords so that they function properly but are also safely out of reach from any children or pets you may have.

- Stocks To Watch Today
Markets Fade Drop in Jobless Rate, Focus on Payrolls
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Stock futures and the dollar are lower while bonds firmed after the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a lower-than-expected 103,000 rise in non-farm payrolls in December and ignored the anomalous drop in the jobless rate to 9.4% from 9.8%.
Of course, the payroll data come from the survey of business establishments while the unemployment rate is derived from a separate, often volatile, survey of households. The latter showed a big drop in the labor force, the denominator in the jobless rate, resulting in the unexpected dip.
But after revisions, the payrolls numbers weren't far off the 145,000 consensus call. November's paltry gain was revised up a bit, to 71,000 from 39,000. Still, the latest month's gains were only about one-third of the huge 297,000 gain found by ADP, which presumably is processing paychecks on Mars.

A very happy bunch of D3 gamers are getting ready for the awards night and are hoping to scoop one of the awards plaques for the category winners. We have an awards night every April and this month will be the best yet as we got a sponsor to support the night.
It takes three of us about three weeks to get everything ready and we are happy to have fitting in getting some support organised this year to help pay for the event. A local game shop is taking part this year and have kindly supported us with some funding to make it the best event yet.
Plaques are ordered for the winners
We have a number of awards for the participants to go for in a range of categories and each one will get a trophy with an engraved plaque with their name on it. Last week we did the judging and ordered all the plaques to be engraved ready for the 26th and the party. We had sorted the venue weeks ago and the local hotel staging the night have been tremendous with us and helped with the preparations. They have come up with a great menu for our guests and organised a deal on rooms for the night as many have a fair distance to come and the night always ends in a little excess, well a lot of excess so staying over is a must really.
We have thirty people attending so far and a few stragglers that are coming but just always book late and the entertainment this year will be a mates band who I think are pretty cool called 4 Guys 1 Drum.
Up for two awards plaques
I am up for two awards for the night, best score and most quests completed and think I will scoop at least one of them. I one the award for most impressive battle last year which led to a live demonstration of the warfare from two of the boys which was hilarious.
With so much to play for on the night most of the guys are pretty excited already and there has been loads of banter already from them. All the votes are already in and only the trio know the winners although any we are shortlisted for are judged by any remaining judges but obviously not the ones nominated.
We were really happy with the event last year and everyone went home really happy and so the challenge this year was to make it bigger and better than before which I think we are on course to manage. We have secured some really rare and very exclusive Diablo 3 stuff for the overall winner on the night and I am crossing everything that I am in with a shout for it as the prize is immense and will make everyone who doesn't win it very jealous.
All that's left now is to wait for the awards plaques to arrive and we are ready to get the party started. http://www.stonesign.com

Here's why many commercial forces try to make us feel older than we are and what to do about it.
An article at MITtechnologyreveiw, "Old age" is made up—and this concept is hurting everyone, (1) shows how and why businesses want us to feel old.
Products designed for older people reinforce a bogus image of them as passive and feeble, according to the MIT Technology Review article.
The article says: Don't panic: The economic consequences of aging societies might be far more benign than assumed. It's strange, for instance, that employers face a retirement crisis while many older workers still have to fight ageism to prove their value.
Another paradox: There's a profound mismatch between products built for older people and the products they actually want. It isn't because older people don't have money. The 50-plus population controls 83% of household wealth in the US. And it isn't because they aren't tech-savvy, either.
So why then? The root of all this is that "old age," as a concept, is made up. Two hundred years ago, no one thought of "the old" as a population-size problem to be solved. That changed thanks to a mix of since-debunked science which said we have limited energy supplies (like batteries,) and frenzied institution-building. The effect was an impression that to be old meant to be always a taker, never a giver.
A suggestion: By treating older adults not as an ancillary market but as a core constituency, the tech sector can do much of the work required to redefine old age.
Have an extended life attitude.
A Business Insider interview of a 99 year old real estate broker proves this fact.
The article said that Wade rises at 5:30 or 6 most mornings, swims 500-600 strokes in the Pacific, and then heads to work by 8 a.m.
He was still working 20 or so hours a week because he just loved his job and said "Attitude is so important," he says. He also advises having clear-cut goals, and realizing that there's more to life than money. Finally, for those people approaching retirement age (typically 65 to 70 in the U.S.), Wade says don't be afraid to keep going. In fact, his best years of work were recent ones. "I made more money in my 80s than I ever did in the rest of my life," he says. "I was very healthy and very vigorous.".
Avoid deadly assumptions.
Yet people do. In fact they make and live by them… these assumptions.
They treat them as if carved in granite.
One of the most deadly assumptions is that at age 65 we should retire.
Such assumptions are fragile and we can't depend on them. Change destroys common assumptions like the wind moves dust… and the world is changing so quickly that a huge number of our rock hard assumptions have been turned into sand.
Isaac Asimov is quoted as saying: "Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in."
The concept of retirement, as we know it, began with a political ploy in the late 1800s. Chancellor Otto Von Bismarck of Germany announced that he would pay a pension to any nonworking German over age 65. Sneaky politician that he was, he knew that hardly anyone lived to be 65 at the time. Politics or not, this set the arbitrary world standard for the age when people retired. The trick worked.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt learned from this and used this age when he pushed for the creation of the Social Security Act of 1935. This idea of needing to quit being productive at age 65 grew and still worked because the the average life expectancy then was 61 years.
Now the wind is not behind the back of Social Security. When the program was created in 1935 there was a ratio of approximately 37 workers for every 1 retiree. Today, the ratio is is less than 3 workers per 1 retiree.
The article "A 92-year-old Billionaire Explains Why You Should Never Retire" (2) exemplifies why we should not be caught by the assumption about the age of 65.
The article says: Joseph Segal doesn't have too many regrets in life.
And in an interview with The Globe and Mail, the 92-year-old Canadian billionaire, who built a fortune through a number of different industries like retail and real estate, says one of the best choices he made was never retiring — despite already having made hundreds of millions of dollars.
"When you keep going, you haven't stopped and you don't know where the finish is going to be," he said about avoiding retirement, adding that fresh business ideas continued to come to him well past 65.
"Life is an aircraft journey," he said. "You're ascending when you're young. You're cruising when you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or 70s or whatever. At some point, you descend. I'm descending but I'm fighting it."
Start a pinnacle career.
None of these successes, Churchill, Kroc, Nayd, Moses, were encore careers. These were the pinnacles of the lives!
Encore careers are considered solutions to retirement. I disagree. They should be the main act! They should go beyond the encore and be pinnacle careers!
First of all, why should we need to retire? If we are not tired in the first place, why re-tire? There is so much we can do beyond 60.
The more important question is – "Why are we so tired that we would want to be retired?"
Encore careers are considered solutions to retirement. I disagree. They should be the main act! They should be pinnacle careers!
First of all, why should we need to retire? If we are not tired in the first place, why re-tire?
The more important question is – "Why are we so tired that we would want to be retired?"
Generally we are tired because we are working too much at something that does not sufficiently fulfill rather than having fun, doing what we love AND earning in the process.
This is the age of age! This is the first time in recorded history when the value of life's experience at retirement age is more valuable than the cost of obtaining it. Our best, most profitable, most enjoyable and helpful career should be after age 50, 60, 70 and beyond.
There are numerous economic scenarios that could ruin retirement for many. Inflation, a falling greenback, another market crash or recession. Any of these could doom traditional retirement plans. The timing of these events are beyond our control.
That's okay because diversification into a business that fulfills and serves can be better than stocks and bonds, cash and gold… all put together.
Right now…cash pays almost nothing. Bonds are quite sure to lose purchasing power. Gold could rise or fall. Shares have come off their all time high which creates a problem of timing. They could fall.
Invest in your dream!
A couple of years ago, I had a little health scare that sent me packing to the ER. The problem was easily resolved and all the tests, scans, blood tests etc. showed that otherwise I was seriously healthy.
This started me realizing that in my 70s, I have better health, more money and more experience than in my 30s-40s etc and can plan on having 30 years left to put it to work. (My mom lived to 96 and remained alive and mentally alert).
So that's my assumption, 30 more years to work.
Well…not quite work. Those who do what they love, never work. 30 more years of fulfillment through writing.
Why not make this your new assumption too?
Live Well and Be Free – 5 Global Earning ExperiencesHere are 5 global income experiences and 7 business secrets that can help you live well and free anywhere.
I began my international business over 50 years ago and have been creating and running international micro businesses since.
During that time my wife, Merri, and I have been able to live, work and earn all over the world… literally anywhere we wanted because of seven secrets we gained which we share here with you. We have been blessed with global earning experiences that helped us make millions… but were also fun, such as with British Lordships.
See how this one micro business helped us rub elbows with British Royalty.
One of Merri's businesses that worked with British Royalty was featured in Doonesbury.
Global Earning Experience #1: Lepers. Our micro businesses have been fulfilling. Merri started her international business in her 20s (long before she knew me) importing Italian clocks to the USA. This earned so much ($80,000 in the first year) that she created other micro businesses helping orphans in the Yucatan and Haitian lepers (at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital) produce crafts she sold for them in the USA.
Excellent income ($80,000 in the 1970s was a lot of cash)… incredible contacts… working with Dr. Larimer and Gwen Mellon who created the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Haiti… and enormous satisfaction. Merri still cries over 40 years later when she tries to speak of the gratitude of the lepers and her time and life in Haiti.
Plus she gained lessons that allowed her to live and earn… in many places and many ways.
Then we got together.
Global Earning Experience #2: Lords. Another of Merri's ideas (in the mid 1980s) was to broker British titles to wealthy Americans. We made a ton from that… even gained 15 minutes of fame when Gary Trudeau learned about this business and immortalized it by having B.D. Zonker buy a title!
What fun… profitable, plus stimulating, meeting and working with the Blue Bloods of Britain… visiting their castles… invited to their events and affairs.
Before I get ahead of myself, may I ask you a question?
Would you like to have a lifestyle and a front yard like this… almost a thousand acres of hacienda overlooking the Andes?
Would you enjoy living in two, three or even more places wherever and whenever you choose? Would you be happier with more freedom, lack of debt, and a life of riches, adventure and travel? Would you be glad to feel confident that you can discover interesting and fun business ideas again and again that not only bring in extra income but also help the poor and improve the environment?
If so then read on… because… that front yard above is ours in a remote Andean hacienda. This is only one of several homes that we have gained (to live and use in business) from the secrets we'll share below.
In the summer, we retreat to our 250+ acre farm high in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina. Here's our front yard in these mountains and the view from my home office.
Home offices in all your homes are important by the way. They are part of one global micro business secret and you'll see why have two home offices (and using two cars in business) can save thousands in taxes.
When you have an international micro business that involves your home and car, the tax benefits are fantastic.
A group of readers visiting our North Carolina home after learning how to gain freedom with a micro business.
You can also enjoy such a lifestyle because after years of search, I found business secrets that you can use and enjoy.
Waterfall at our North Carolina Farm. See enjoyable benefits of a micro business in water.
Global Earning Experience #3: Hospitality. Here's a hotel we owned and operated in Ecuador. Once we sold this we joined the sharing economy and began offering rentals in our North Carolina cabins through AIRBNB and houses in Florida. We became designated super hosts within months and added thousands of extra dollars to our income every month.
Caring is just one example of how to live anywhere and earn. If you provide genuine care in anything you can be anywhere and beat out big businesses in your niche because big business has created an uncaring world and everyone craves care.
Having a variety of places to live is part of one of the secrets on how to earn more, have a better life with more fun, adventure and greater freedom.
Global Earning Experience #4: Import-Export. Here I am at our Florida house showing clients how to import.
I was wearing a hand tailored, made to order, high quality wool suit from Ecuador that could be imported into the US for as little as $135 . Plus that Panama hat was made in Ecuador. This is odd but true, all genuine Panama hats are made in Ecuador. We imported Ecuador roses year round as well, all from one of our tax deductible US home office.
The secrets we'll share below are not about how to buy suits or flowers though. The secrets show ways to make money (while helping others) marketing products and services wherever you are and much more…. globally.
Global Earning Experience #5: Green Produce. We have an orange grove and lake at our Florida home and
are among the first to test new organic ways to make citrus farming better for the environment and the consumer. In North Carolina we cultivate Wild American Ginseng as well as aquafarm.
These are just a few of the business experiences that can help you have the freedom to earn globally. They are shared in our emailed correspondence course, International Business Made EZ. This course helps you learn how to earn and live wherever you choose!
The course teaches a system based on seven secrets so powerful that it creates money for you regardless of where you are: in town, out of the country, traveling or even in places as remote as we live.
These secrets have worked for us in real estate… titles… tours… agriculture… clothing… hospitality… alternative health… spirituality… printing… publishing and art businesses for Merri and me all over the world.
I searched for these elusive secrets of opportunity for over twenty years, looking for a way to gain incredible, outlandish, unbelievable profit potential.
I finally found them and after years of proof and would like to share with you. The opportunity I sought had to be enormously profitable yet also safe. It had to work in good times and bad and had to be flexible so it could evolve as times changed.
These were not the only standards. I wanted to find unbelievable profit and high safety and freedom but also wanted this incredible investment to offer the ultimate tax shelter, something so perfect it would not be even a little bit questionable. It had to be so tax foolproof that Congress would never change it.
I wanted a tax shelter so good that it would be encouraged by the government.
I feared deep down inside that what I wanted was impossible. Nevertheless, I scoured the world for over twenty years looking for it. I looked in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. But I didn't find it in Asia. I went to the Middle East and searched all over Europe… all across the USA and Latin America. I hardly missed a country. After twenty years and millions of miles, I guess I gave up. Only then (as these things so often happen) was it that I found the best opportunity in the world.
This opportunity was not only perfect but I discovered that it was wherever I wanted it to be, in my own back yard, in Florida and our remote home in the High Country of North Carolina and our even more remote cloud forest home in Ecuador.
Merri and I have created a special program we call "Live Well and Free Anywhere" that makes it possible for you to enjoy extra income doing something you love. You can gain full or part time and enjoy excellent profits as you have fun and do something good in the world.
My search stumbled on the fact that most millionaires make their money in business. This discovery led to a study of rich businesses, ones that generate everlasting wealth. Here are five of seven secrets we learned and have used in our micro businesses:
Secret #1: They must enjoy the multiple effect. A product once created must produce profits again and again, almost on a never-ending basis. Each investment made needs to make huge returns.
Secret #2: They need to be greater than their owner's time. They must produce income even when the owner doesn't put in day-to-day effort. You may already be wealthy or earning a high income. You may not even need another business or extra income, but some day you might. One surgeon explained it this way. "I am making a fortune because peoples' lives are in my hands. Once my hands are no longer steady, my income stops. My entire financial well being will then be in someone else's hands!"
Secret #3: These money making systems should be enjoyable and fun. Sadly most people make money for the sake of making money. Many spend their lives working, just to have a few precious hours having fun. The most important fact about making and keeping wealth is that those who were richest absolutely love what they were doing. Money is of secondary importance to their effort. And as things are, this means they actually ended up making more money.
Secret #4: These money making systems need to be flexible. No matter what the economy brings, your ability to make money should work regardless of inflation, recession or even depression.
Secret #5: These businesses usually start small, but grow quite large. Good money systems work for large or for small amounts and can be operated on either a full or part time basis. Most businesses start with a learning curve. During that time it is essential they are small. Once the lessons have been learned and the system is operating properly, then it needs to grow for larger and larger returns.
These secrets created a fantastic way to make money with my own international micro business doing what I love!
You too can have everlasting wealth by turning your passion into profit.
Before discovering these secrets I had a business but to be honest could never get ahead. I was almost penniless, in debt and living from month to month, check to check. Then I discovered these seven secrets…and how to apply them around the world.
Since then our international micro businesses have brought in millions. We gained all the physical possessions we desired, plus more than enough money in the bank.
We do not have one penny of debt and we have leisure time… though when you love your business… why not work?
This is most important, we have fun and feel that we do something beyond just making money every day! Merri and I do what we love and have learned that through our global business we can accomplish far more important goals, gain self fulfillment and be of service to our community. In short we can help make ourselves and the world better.
Among our greatest thrills is being able to help others through foundations we have started that help the environment and the poor.
More importantly we have the freedom to do all this from many locations (some are remote-you have seen the pictures) that we really enjoy.
You too can have the freedom to do what you love from any place you like, even operating (actually preferably) from your bedroom, dining room or den if you wish.
What do you love? Rare cars? You can make a fortune creating a business around them. Do you prefer fine art? Or do you love beautiful jewelry, coins, gems, real estate, furs, model railways, dolls, scientific equipment, war memorabilia, old and rare books, or whatever? Do you prefer social subjects rather than objects?
Are you concerned with the environment or humanitarian problems, with crimes, war or poverty? Would you like to help wipe these social problems out in the course of your business?
Are you a golfer? Do you love to travel? Why not make all kinds of money in a global business related to golf?
Would you like to help the world be a more spiritual place, help people get along better together? You can do something good for the world, increase your income and live wherever you please in the process!
Whatever your passion you can learn how to earn by creating an international micro business based on it. You can be international if you love to travel or not. Regardless of your skills and position there is some approach that will work for you.
Take fishing, for example.
I am no great aquafarmer, but the numbers and lifestyle work on a small scale. We pay about $3.50 a pound to stock the fish, they double, triple, even quadruple in size and we sell them at a local butcher shoppe for a modest profit. This is not a big deal, but does generate income, helps attract guests to stay in our rental cabins, puts some great trout dinners on our table and is a thoroughly enjoyable part of my daily labor. I need this to counter balance sitting in front of a computer.
Over a couple of months the fish grow… a lot.
We are lucky to have a perfect but natural place to raise the trout. On busy holidays when our monster trout are in demand I have to work hard fishing at that pond. Pity me!
This pond is just below our house, so raising the trout is EZ for me.
Millions of people love fishing but don't have a pond. This does not mean they cannot be involved in fishing. Here are just a few of many ways that others have profitably matched this passion with profit.
Two of my friends, John and Lou, grew up near me in the Oregon mountains. They were outdoor adventure types and moved to Canada, where they homesteaded 1,200 acres on a trout-filled lake in mid British Columbia. They built a fishing camp that attracts fisherman from around the world.
Duncan Kinderman on the other hand loved fishing and castles. He bought a castle on the River Tay, a great Scottish salmon river, and offered time shares for fisherman from Britain, Europe and the US.
Another entrepreneur I know was from Montana. His skills were in marketing so he sold fishing trips for fishing camps. He attended rod and gun exhibitions, met owners of these camps and arranged to sell their fishing trips to the US, Argentina and even in Russia to fisherman around the world.
Ralph Kylloe on the other hand loved fishing and photography so he created the book, "Fishing Camps", which was published by Gibbs Smith publisher. This allowed Ralph to travel across the country enjoying fishing camps as he photographed and wrote.
Steve Ambrose, another friend of ours, had family commitments at home so he set up a bass fishing business in Florida that served Americans, Germans, Canadian, Dutch and Belgians. Later as his children grew, he used his client base to arrange fishing trips in Argentina.
Each of these people had provincial backgrounds and differed in age, situation and skills. Their common link, the love of fishing, led each to a global micro business. Each was able to blend a unique nature and set of skills to develop a global business that surrounded them with fun, like minded fishing souls.
Also, imagine what an international business means to your world travel. Every trip you take can be tax deductible! You can honestly write off every trip that is related to your business. Every journey becomes a research oriented adventure and a TAX DEDUCTIBLE EVENT.
For example if you have your own business you can gain $12,976 by using two vehicles for business because IRS Form 4562, which is filed by proprietorships and corporations, contains spaces for up to six vehicles.
There are similar benefits by having a second home office defined in IRS publication 463 and IRS publication 587.
These are huge tax benefits that can be gained when you have an international, at home, micro business.
As a real international business person, you'll have one of the most respected and tax protected businesses in the country. Every country needs to do business abroad, and most governments have created many programs to encourage their citizens to do business overseas. Many of those benefits come in the form of reduced tax. Other benefits come in the form of legal protection and even subsidies and grants.
There is such an abundance of opportunity that Merri and I have created this program to help you have your own international micro business that can be managed almost anywhere. This program is unique because Merri and I are unique. We started our global business together. Since we're almost recluses, we decided to do the whole business by ourselves… thus we create micro businesses that do not require large staffs.
We began working at home. Today, though we have tens of thousands of buyers and have made millions, we still work at home on our remote farms and employ only a few people to help.
You can do the same with a system contained in an electronic correspondence course called International Business Made EZ. The course reveals all you need to know about how to start and run your own global business all by yourself. It answers your questions and gets your business started!
Thousands have profited from this course which has been updated in its fifth edition.
For example, Ben, an investor from Pennsylvania used International Business Made EZ and wrote:
"Jam packed with vital information. My head is spinning. Thank goodness this is all backed up by your manual. This is a true and cherished gift. Your tips on low cost business are a blessing! Thank you once again for an outstanding course. The value far exceeds the price."
In just a week, you can be well on your way to income and freedom to live wherever you choose! International Business Made EZ shows you how to take advantage of the five secrets mentioned above and the remaining two secrets below:
Secret #6: Look for ways to gain 1,000% returns in business. The wealthiest families in the world today come from global businesses. Learn how margins can be so incredible that few would believe them. Learn how to use stories to make huge shifts in the value of products. Take for example our friend Earl who is a dog trainer. On a trip to Ecuador clay whistles in the market place were for sale at .35 cents each. By calling them dog whistles Earl was able to sell them at $9.95, a whopping 2,700% mark up!
Secret #7: Create and market your product everywhere using niche marketing. There are 11 steps to create the perfect product. You learn them with International Business Made EZ. Understand how to review ideas, test focus, aim at markets. Learn where and how to get your data and get others to provide your marketing material for you almost FREE.
Learning how to market is the key to successful business. Knowing how to turn pennies into dollars is good marketing focus. International Business Made EZ gives you this winning marketing knowledge.
You'll learn how to turn advertising dollars into a fortune. You'll learn how to create your own ads and when to use the internet… search engines… pay per click… classifieds, space ads, direct mail or word of mouth… even flea markets and roadside stands in some cases.
See how to build a PR list and social business network on the World Wide Web to gain thousands of dollars in free publicity. I even share my most secret results on my marketing so you will know why sometimes you sell more units of a product at $49 instead of $29.

Learn how we have made money over the Internet (specific details, specific experiences, hard earned knowledge over the last 13 years!) With an inexpensive computer you can easily run a business from home and still have tons of time left over – even if you are computer challenged. Merri and I have certainly proven this. We were one of the first to run a successful website and still rank high today even with millions of competitors. The secrets in the course include a step-by-step approach.
Merri and I with our webmaster, David Cross, were leaders in beginning internet micros businesses and have sold millions over the web. You gain ways to earn global income over the net from that experience as well.

You learn the income producing power of defined focus and immediate repetition to get good search engine rankings and sales.
You can earn successfully while living anywhere because people of all ages are doing this. Technology wiped out any disadvantages of age and gender. A USA Today article entitled "The new entrepreneurs: Americans over 50" explains that older business people often start one person ventures in home offices using technology that did not exist a few years ago. The article gave an example of Franny Martin who launched a cookie company at age 56 and said she built revenues to over $500,000 a year. Yet her web site which attracts cookie customers from around the world cost only $3,000 to build.
International Business Made EZ is arranged in an easy to understand style. Everything is explained in vivid detail. We share all, how we have done it ourselves. The course is full of business ideas and case studies based on our 48 years of experience.
The course describes on a step-by-step basis, how Merri and I built a multi-million dollar international micro business in just 7 years and how you can do the same.
Terry T., an attorney from Germany took the course and enjoyed this fact when he stated, "What I like most is that it is a nuts and bolts course-not pie in the sky.
Learn How to Gain Total Security. Learn how and why the global economy makes employment riskier because change is no longer an option. See ways to become and agent of and profiteer from change never a victim of change.
Learn How to Perfect a Lifestyle. Living as you choose is important because life is short. Fortunately matching what you love with what you do in business actually increases profits.
George K an MD from California confirmed this when he wrote: "
Your course helped me to crystallize and clarify ideas I've been considering that relate to my interests in writing, travel and ecology. They showed ways to combine them in a personally engaging and potentially profitable way. I especially appreciated the practical advice on organizing and marketing-turning ideas into products that sell and make a profit."
A retired railway executive from Michigan picked up on this aspect and said more.
"Your course opened my eyes to the merits, profits, and prestige of becoming an international businessman, particularly the idea of doing business in Canada for distribution in the U.S. (for total tax protection)."
Learn How to Market your Product. Learn truths that rule the market place. Gain knowledge on subjects like… How to Make the Truth Exciting.

Even older entrepreneurs are taking advantage of technology. One of our friends and clients, Mickey E., was a 72 year old real estate broker, when she began a small global business. With just a computer and internet, she created publications that attracted English real estate buyers.

She later used the tactics she learned to move to Ecuador (in here late 70s) and start a micro business there.

More Comments from Readers
"I completed International Business Made EZ in a (long!) weekend and – unlike many business books and courses – I didn't fall asleep whilst reading it! I found it helpful to refer back to whilst I put my business ideas into action and the business and banking contacts in the course were worth their weight in gold."
"There is a lot of rubbish written about business and 'get rich quick schemes' and I seem to receive some sort of junk mail or spam e-mail most days trying to sell me a 'get rich quick' idea, but I found Gary's course genuinely different."
"Firstly, the International Business Made EZ course is written by someone who has tried and proven his international business and then chose to share those practical examples in a course rather than as 'pie-in-the-sky theory'. Secondly, although the course would show even hard-nosed, skeptical business people a few things about doing business internationally, it is written in a completely unassuming and open way and this makes it easy for anyone to gain maximum benefit in the minimum amount of time from the course."
This electronic "International Business Made EZ" costs $299. You gain incredible education and the importance of the knowledge for you and your family's wealth.
The course is so complete Merri and I extend our "no fooling around-complete satisfaction guarantee" and a special offer because "International Business Made EZ" is only one small part of the special program we have developed for you.
Here is the first part of the special offer. We provide two emailed courses… "International Business Made EZ", and "Self Fulfilled – How to Write to Sell and be a Self Publisher".
We include the "Self Fulfilled Writing and Self Publishing Course" because there are two reasons to write, when you have something to say or when you have something to sell. In this day and age many of us want to do both, make a statement that makes the world a better place and earn something extra in the process.
Whatever your passion, however you do business, chances are you'll be writing either to create a product or to sell a product.
Merri and I use writing and self publishing in our business. We have earned as much as $20,000 for a single day's work… and have earned consistently year in and year out… while we do what we love… because of a few secrets. We write to be self fulfilled… to share what we have gained from living, working, investing and writing all over the world.
We wanted to share these secrets so we created a Self Publishing "Writer's Camp" weekend seminar. We offered the course for $1,500 and were surprised when 80 delegates enrolled. People from all walks of life attended—chiropractors, businessmen, investors, doctors, realtors, inventors, airline pilots, engineers, and housewives. Those who attended love the seminar.
Merri and I were so overwhelmed by the response, we decided to make it available to a larger audience. We created a written course based on our current self publishing activity. Then we recorded the weekend "Writer's Camp" seminar.
Thousands have used the course as it has evolved over the decades.
You receive both the written course and the recorded weekend seminar, in an MP3 file, in the "Live Well and Free Anywhere" program I am making available to you. The normal fee is $299 for each course (and $299 for the recorded workshop). We'll send both courses and the recorded Writer's Camp to you by email for $299. You save $598.
We are so confident that you'll gain from this offer that if you are not fully satisfied, simply email us within 60 days for a full refund .

Don't normally have muesli for breakfast but thought I would give this a go.
Found it was easy to pull together from ingredients I had in the cupboard.

Very filling, not too sweet and the ginger/cinnamon added the right amount of spiciness. Also paired well with greek honey yoghurt. Great start to the day!

This March I'm "slicing" a piece of my day every day in chronological order, sequentially.
I start my day twice. With two classes, the nature of my school life is a "do over."
The first fifteen minutes of both classes are choice literacy. Students get to choose their literary desire. A graphic novel, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Scholastic Magazine, blog, read a picture book, write a bit of poetry, refine a story, shop for books, request books, talk about books. And sometimes just talk.
Fifth graders love to talk, and if the opportunity presents, all will partake. I understand. I tolerate it for a while. Then, some days sooner than others, I remind students:
"Readers! Writers! Choice literacy means choosing to read or write. What are you reading or writing?"
The noise dies down. Books, notebooks, Chromebooks open.
Reading clubs come to the carpet to shop. I book talk The Watson's Go to Birmingham as a follow up to the club's last read, One Crazy Summer. The group of conscientious boy readers is attentive. They listen and then read. I watch. Two of the four are intently reading. The other two have set the book down and gaze at titles on the bookshelf. Next, they check out a James Patterson book, one of the I Funny series. As much as I want them to read the Watsons, it's their choice. The group is split. Negotiations begin. They agree to read I Funny first. The Watsons second. The deal is done.
Choice time has eight minutes left.
Chatter and whispers follow the boys to their seats. Then finally, students settle. Into an intense quiet. This quiet is personal. Self-directed. Students are together but alone. I cherish these minutes. This place of self-sustained absorption.
I plan to take this time to confer with a student. And I do. But sometimes I stop and watch. Heads down buried in words. This is their time, and I hesitate to break the spell for any student who has found a sweet spot.
But, there are lessons to learn and ideas to share.
"Readers. Writers. Finish the sentence you are on, and join me on the carpet."
The quiet vanishes and our day of chatter, clatter, rustling papers, and the occasional thud of a flipped water bottle begins.
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers for the Slice of Life March Challenge. Read more slices here.

DescriptionAndremily Syrah 2012
Bottle (1)
"The inaugural release, Jim's 2012 No. 1 is about as good a first release as you're likely to find anywhere in the wine world today. A blend of 93% Syrah, 5% Viognier and 2% Mourvedre (the Syrah and Viognier were cofermented) that spent 25 months in 58% new French oak, it offers extraordinary notes of sweet black fruits, licorice, scorched earth, spring flowers and beautifully integrated oak that only shows as hints of creaminess and vanilla. Weightless, fresh, lively and nicely focused, yet also rockingly full-bodied and layered, with an awesome texture, this is a gorgeous Syrah that's hard to resist now, yet I suspect will continue to knock it out of the park for another decade." (97 pts. Jeb Dunnuck, eRobertParker.com #220, Aug. 2015)

In a matter of seconds, a paper passes through the printer and comes out with high quality texts and graphics imprinted on it. The printer is a machine made of different parts and assemblies. The fuser unit is one of these parts that play a vital role in printing. This is where toner is melted and compressed to leave impressions on paper with the use of heat.
More tips and tricks to printer maintenance and how you can save on printing supplies from the Printer Encyclopedia.
The fuser unit usually comes as a removable unit with parts that needs to be replaced from time to time. The printer fuser assembly is seen as two heated rollers (some even with very thin flexible metal coating) – a reason why papers come out warm and crisp on trays. However, there is more than meets the eye. The fusing is an intricate and exact process of pressing the toner on paper with heat; along with other mechanical and electrical parts.
Parts of the Fuser Unit
Heat roller. There are two pairs of rollers in the fuser assembly. One is made of a hollow tube loaded with heating properties and the other fitted with rubber backing that is responsible for compression and having a better grip on paper. Both rollers are also coated with Teflon (a similar coating found in non-stick frying pans) which keeps toner and paper from sticking as it passes through.
Discharge lamp. Also known as the quartz lamp, the discharge lamp is an ultraviolet light source (strong bluish light) made of mercury vapor in an arc tube. This is located internally in rollers which makes the heating process easier and faster.
Role of Fuser Unit Assembly in the Printing Process
Fusing concludes the printing process. It covers the final steps of creating the desired impression on the paper. Although much of image development occurs on the drum unit, the two rollers of the fuser unit are responsible for the final output.
As paper passes through the fuser assembly, the upper roller melts and fuses the toner on paper via the internal quartz lamps at 200 °C (392 °F). From there, the plastic in toner is melted and thereafter bonded with paper. It is necessary for both rollers to be heated at the same temperature in order to leave high quality impressions and in a faster pace. The slower the fuser heats up, the more decelerated the printing speed will be. This can be observed in inexpensive printers or those units set on eco-mode.
In fact, the warm-up time in printers is set to give rollers enough time to heat up. During the fusing process, the paper faces the heated roller while the other roller compresses the toner to create the desired impression before making its way out to the output tray. The same process applies to color laser printers; only it is repeated 4 times or as many times depending on the number of toner color used.
Fuser Unit Maintenance
The fuser unit uses heat and pressure during the printing process. Frequent printing therefore makes it prone to wearing out. Keeping this printer component in good shape requires periodic cleaning and replacement of the parts of its assembly.
More often than not, a bad or broken fuser causes numerous print defects leading to wasted supplies and energy.
What users need to look out for?
Toner Powder Build Up. During the printing process, toner powder latches not only on the paper's surface but also on other printer parts. This predisposes the machine to toner build-up along with other dust particles. When left uncleaned, it causes scratches on the fuser's surface which is responsible for the linear defects on printouts. Once these lines appear over printouts, it is time to replace the fuser assembly. In most printers, a warning sign is prompted on screen to alert the user on the need for installing new parts.
Overheat. In some cases, fusers may overheat or not warm up at all– both of which causes the printer to halt printing. Overheat transpires when the printer prints more pages than its stipulated monthly duty cycle. A small workgroup printer for example that frequently handles large volume print jobs would eventually succumb to overheating the fuser unit. With this, the printer will flash an error message and desist with print jobs until the fuser unit cools down.
Power Issue. When printer does not have enough power to heat up the rollers, this leads to malfunction or defective printouts. What is therefore recommended is to provide the printer and computer with direct power supply from the wall sockets instead of the surge protector.
Fuser Unit Replacement
The rollers are the easiest to wear out. Therefore, constant replacement is needed. There are two types of kits most printer owners use: the fuser kit and maintenance kit. Both kits are supplied with almost the same replacement parts. The difference lies in the brand of the kit and printer.

The Fuser Kit
As its name suggests, the fuser kit comes supplied with the printer fuser assembly or heating roller unit. Some parts of the fuser assembly are sold separately. Thus, users can opt to buy only the heating roller (upper roller) or pressure roller (lower roller). Some fuser kits may include the fuser film in the package. The mentioned parts are also supplied in some maintenance kits. Fuser kits are available from both OEMs and remanufacturers.

The main goal of the Professorship of Ecological Services (PES) is to establish a research and teaching program to understand the societal relevance of ecosystem services given global change scenarios. For stimulating high practical relevance we embed the research on ecosystem services in "real" decision contexts. Study regions have been in Germany, Switzerland, South Korea, Tajikistan and Ethiopia.
Research fields on ecosystem services (ES)
The research program does focus on spatial-temporal models of the supply of and demand for ecosystem services. We want to investigate the complex of human decision-making, resulting land use/cover, biodiversity and ecosystem services given scenarios of climate change, market change and policy development. We investigate this in an interdisciplinary manner at the interface of the environmental system and the human system. The teaching program shall equip students with knowledge and methods to address complex environmental problems in science and practice from an interdisciplinary viewpoint. The group offers courses mainly for the MSc Global Change Ecology and the MSc Geoecology. These include Ecosystem Services, Globalization of Economies and the Environment, Land Use and Land Cover, Environmental Finance, Research at the Natural and Social Science Interface and Life Cycle Assessment.
The Professorship of Ecological Services is financially supported by the Bavarian Elite Network M.Sc. Graduate Program Global Change Ecology (GCE) and member of the BAYreuth Center of Ecology and Environmental Research (BAYCEER).

Roadside Assistance – Anytime, Anywhere
We all hate getting stuck when our car refuses to start, or gets a flat in the middle of a highway. When something like this happens, it's a long trek to the nearest garage, and in the middle of the night, it is near impossible to get any help. But we've found a way to make sure you're never in such a sticky situation again. At Reliance General, our customers are most important to us, so we've launched our Reliance General Insurance Roadside Assistance App to provide you with help anytime, and in any location.
How It Works
We're the first insurance company to provide a mobile application which gives you the chance to ask for our assistance in any kind of car emergency. This way, you don't have to worry about how to approach us, your chosen insurance company, when something goes wrong. You simply need to open the app and choose the problem you are facing from our menu. Then, the app will use the GPS on your phone to find your location. If you don't have great network, or are unable to use your data, a text message will be sent to our call centre. Our call centre representatives will then call you and help you over the phone.
Why an App?
From the time we started offering roadside assistance, we were able to help several of our customers. We assisted over 1 lakh customers within the first 3 months, but we wanted to do more. We received feedback not only from our customers, but from our internal teams as well, telling us that a mechanism would be more beneficial. We developed this app so that you can easily raise a request for assistance during an emergency without having to go through a long-drawn process first. Moreover, many people aren't sure of how to approach their
car insurance
providers, or what to tell them. This app has helped us provide better services to our existing customers, and will hopefully help us acquire more customers in the future.
Benefits of the App
Our customers from all over the country have given us feedback on how they have found our app useful. We have learned that the fast delivery of assistance is what makes it beneficial. Most other insurance companies require their customers to call either a network garage, or a toll free number in emergencies. They have to then verify their details before they can ask for help. Our app allows customers to ask for help in an emergency with just 3 easy clicks, making it faster and easier!
As an organisation, we will continue to look for ways in which we can provide value to our customers, and strive to provide you with better and better services.
