When we walk down the street and encounter a stray cat, it is hard for us to imagine that this seemingly healthy and vibrant kitty might actually be very sick. This phenomenon is true with even our human counterparts. Part of this deceiving reality is the Feline Immunodeficiency Virus, or FIV. This virus affects more than 11% of cats worldwide.

The probable immediate association, once a person hears this, is with HIV or Human immunodeficiency Virus. The two are very similar in how they are transmitted and also how they affect the body. It seems, though, that cats are better able to deal with the disease in terms of life expectancy after it has been contracted.

Contracting FIV is not a death sentence for a cat. In fact, most cats go on to live happy and healthy lives and carriers and transmitters for several years. FIV attacks the body much more slowly than HIV does. Transmission usually takes place in the form of deep bites or scratches, although other forms of transmission do occur, as traces of the virus are found in other areas of the body such as the vagina, the rectum, and the mouth.

The disease occurs in three stages: the Acute stage, the Subclinical stage, and the Chronic stage. The first stage, acute, happens immediately after transmission, during which time the cat experiences fever and depression. Once the cat has survived the first stage, it goes into the second stage, Subclinical, when the cat appears to be completely healthy for an extended period of time. At the third and final stage, Chronic, the cat suffers from the effects of the disease, developing one or several other nonrelated diseases that it would not have contracted were it able to maintain a healthy immune system.

Despite the fact that cats, especially those house kept, can survive for very long periods of time without treatment, many cat owners insist on treating the symptoms of their pet. A new treatment, released in 2006 and sold exclusively through, IMULAN Bio Therapeutics, LLC, has been developed to counter some of the internal symptoms of the disease, like anemia and thrombocytopenia, a small amount of blood platelets.

FIV affects the entire cat family and is found in numerous big cat species found all over Africa. It seems though that these cats have developed a certain evolutionary resistance to the disease over time. If you think your cat might have FIV, be sure to contact a veterinarian in your area.

It is hard to define good and bad, especially when they are terms slapped on to something as subjective as a brokerage service.

A broker serves a few primary functions in the trading cycle. The brokerage takes orders from sellers and buyers and matches them. The broker also provides the most recent prices and most brokers provide a charting service as well. These services are not provided for free, the broker takes a commission from you each time you trade. This charge is called the pip spread. What that works is that when you enter a trade, you are automatically in the red. This spread varies from broker to broker but on the whole as a market, pip spreads for trading the majors are very low as compared to trading exotic currencies.

A good broker can then be define as a broker who provides the basic services and keep the spreads low and fixed. The issue about floating spreads is that there are times when the spreads can go to atrocious levels and that means if you place your stop loss too low, there is a high possibility that you get kicked out of a trade through no fault of yours or because of any market movements. The good thing about having fixed spreads is that you can work the spreads into your trading plan. That gives you control of how you want to direct the trade.

The reason why having a good broker is essential to your profits is that; you want to have reliability and stability when you trade. The last thing you need is a brokerage that might go bust, or not pay you or worse take your money and run! I have had experience with brokers who refused to pay out my profits especially if they were large good runs and these brokers even made it such that it seemed that it was a technical error so they were not liable to pay! As you can imagine, I quickly closed my account and switched services. The crazy thing was that the broker refused to give me MY money! After a few phone calls and a couple of weeks later I finally managed to resolve that ugly spat and recovered my funds.

Reliability and stability are absolutely essential for traders to have especially when we are faced with an ever changing market. With market situations as such, the last thing you need is for your broker to pull a fast one on you. For example when you are in the midst of a trade and suddenly the trade window hangs. It might be a technical issue you think, so you log back on immediately. To your surprise you realize that your trade has been canceled and that the money you placed into the trade was lost! This is something that you don’t need, so you try to contact the broker, but you emails never get answered and your calls fall on deaf ears.

At this point in time the only thing you can do is to switch brokers. This will affect your trading and throw a wrench into your profits. Choose a good broker at the onset and you will fair better in the long run.

This is very sensitive area of your body. Too private. Nobody likes when something is wrong over there. However it happens.

Hemorrhoids occur practically in everyone. Though hemorrhoids cause problems in 1 out of 25 people. Mostly those are people between 45 and 65 years of age.

You find a blood on toilet tissue. Bright red blood. Ok, now what? You do not know why you bleed. It could be rectal cancer by the way. It could be hemorrhoids.

So? What are the hemorrhoids?

They look like cushions. They contain blood vessels, some muscle and elastic fibers. People often call them piles.

Not everything over there is a hemorrhoid. There could be other problems. Fissure, abscess, fistula, pruritus (itching), condylomata (sort of hanging skin caused by viral infection), viral and bacterial skin infections can happen in that, so sensitive area.

It is worth to talk to your doctor.

How would a scenario of hemorrhoids look?

A 46-year-old female presents with complaints on rectal discomfort, occasional bright red blood on toilet tissue and prolapsing tissue in of anal area. This is probably internal hemorrhoid.

Another scenario brings a patient who complains on severe rectal pain and prolapsed tissue.
The severe pain happens in external hemorrhoids. The pain follows thrombosis (thrombosis is the blood clot in your blood vessels).

There are four degrees of internal hemorrhoids.

It may be interesting for you to know because first, second and sometime third degree can be treated by banding only. Fourth degree and sometime third degree requires surgery.

Do not forget non-hemorrhoid causes of symptoms.
To check with your doctor is worthwhile because there could be other problems, including cancer or anal fissure. (By the way for anal fissure medical treatment alone may heal it in 90% of cases).

How are hemorrhoids treated?

Well first you need to understand how do hemorrhoids happen. Several reasons lead to hemorrhoids:

Constipation and extra straining

Chronic Diarrhea and loose stools

Long sitting or standing

Weight lifting

Obesity

Pregnancy and childbirth

Inherited tendency to hemorrhoids.

So, avoid all this and you are free.

Obviously this list of reasons is too wide.

The list of measures is wide too.

Increase the fiber in your diet.

Eat more cereals, fruits, vegetables, grains, etc

Psyllium and methylcellulose are supplemental types of fiber.

Exercise, avoid long standing or sitting, don’t strain, keep the anal area clean.

Increase liquids in your diet.

Use stool softeners, stool-bulking agents (not a tasty ones, but what can you do).

Treat diarrhea with anti-motility drugs and fiber.

Not every of these methods are proved scientifically. Nonetheless they are included in the standard recommendations for hemorrhoids treatment.

To treat itching or discomfort you may use suppositories, ointments, creams, and gels. You may find that all in your local pharmacy.

These products contain protectant and anesthetics (pain relievers). Local anesthetics numb the area and decrease burning and itching.

Remember that local anesthetics may cause allergy.

Analgesics (menthol, camphor) relieve pain and itching as well

Vasoconstrictors reduce swelling in the perianal area. Though they may have side effects. Better discuss with your doctor.

Protectants (kaolin, cocoa butter, lanolin, mineral oil, starch, zinc oxide or calamine, glycerin, etc) create a physical barrier to prevent contact of stool and the skin. This reduces irritation, itching, and burning.

Similarly, some agents – astringents – dry the skin. That helps to relieve burning, itching, and pain as well.

To kill or at least suppress bacteria and other organisms use antiseptics. Boric acid, phenol, resorcinol and many others can be used. Again better to discuss with your doctor or at least pharmacist. Many of these drugs are sold over-the-counter.

Corticosteroids. Corticosteroids decrease inflammation and relieve itching, but may cause skin damage. They should be used for few days only.

Sitz bath may also help in relieving the symptoms.

When those methods fail your doctor may perform one of the following:

Sclerotherapy (causes scarring of the hemorrhoid).

Rubber band ligation. The rubber band cut off blood supply and hemorrhoid heals with scarring.

Side effects of any of the treatment may be infection of fat and other tissues surrounding the anal canal, especially if patient has diabetes cancer, AIDS.

Another option – electrotherapy and infrared photocoagulation. Works the same way, cause scarring of the tissue.
Cryotherapy uses cold to cause inflammation and scarring. Practically the same, though more time consuming.

Let say your medical treatment fails. What do you do then?
Well, you go to surgeon and treat it surgically.

Operations are done in less than 10% of patients. Though it depends.

Surgical procedures include Dilation. It is when surgeon stretches your anal sphincter.

Ligation. Often a Doppler probe helps to measures blood flow and finds the individual artery.

The doctor ties off the artery.

Sphincterotomy. It is when sphincter is partially cut. Whole idea is to reduce the pressure.

Hemorrhoidectomy. Hemorrhoidectomy makes sense for patients with third- or fourth-degree hemorrhoids. The hemorrhoids are cut out.

Stapled hemorrhoidectomy. Stapler cuts off the ring of expanded hemorrhoidal tissue.

There are different considerations why to do this and not that type of treatment. And vice versa.

There are complications (pain, difficulty urinating, bleeding several days after surgery, scarring, infection, stool incontinence). Complications happen relatively rare, but they are still there.
Better talk to you surgeon.

I hope you be OK.

You were not alone.

It looks like Napoleon Bonaparte, Carter, Hemingway, Tennyson, Lewis Carroll also were suffering from hemorrhoids.

‘Seek and ye shall find’. Yes, yes, that’s all well and good, but how does one go about seeking, huh?

You may have assembled the bucks but have as yet no idea whatsoever as tax how you are to go about finding the property of your dreams. Don’t worry, we’re here to help. To fully understand how to find the perfect investment opportunity, in terms of real tax you need to start off by looking at what the ‘pros’ do and then applying their techniques to your situation.

Hence, you need to first pay close attention the listing service. By this we mean the list of properties that are posted by realtors in your area as well as those posted by real estate groups. In addition, you also need to make tax mistakes part of your daily reading, the listings provided in local newspapers and magazines. Usually, the free magazines you find in coffee shops and restaurants are ideal for this purpose.

Meanwhile, you will also want to lookout for FSBO (pronounced ‘fizz-boe) properties, i.e. the ‘for sale by owner’ properties. Usually, you can get a great deal on such properties as the owner is himself trying to save money by avoiding the middlemen. Hence, it is highly recommended that you try calling back the owner or better yet, go and meet him/her, as not only will this help in your learning curve, but you might just find the deal of your dreams.

Next, you need to distinguish between the two types of listings available and thus, use each listing to gain the maximum possible benefit from it. Active listings will provide you with a list of properties that are available for sale. If you find a property to your liking in this list, make sure to carry out the required follow-up, such as calling the owner or the realtor, seeing the property and so on.

However, more importantly, you also need to review the closed/expired listings on a regular basis. To the novice investor, reviewing the expired listings might seem pointless, but as any real estate expert will tell you, expired listings have a lot to offer. For those unaware of what expired listings are, expired listings refer to those properties which have not sold while the original listing has expired. Why these listings become important is, firstly because the same property may be listed again at a later date, or better yet, the owner may be giving up hope. Hence, these properties can be attained at a lower price if the investor has it in him to pursue them. If you like a property in the expired listing, then try and find out why the property hasn’t sold thus far and whether you can overcome the obstacle which dissuaded other investors.

In addition to the property listings, you also have another option at your disposal in the form of the local tax assessor. Almost always these tax assessors will keep detailed record of properties in their local community. As most of these professionals hold county level positions, contacting them becomes a non-issue. Moreover, you can even search online as some tax assessors tend to publish their information online.

Hence, you can see that a world of options is open to you if you choose to go on the hunt for your dream property. Remember, as always, that if you keep your eyes and ears open at all times, you will sooner rather than later succeed.

Boomers-Bank The Investor’s Guide to Commercial Real Estate and Retirement Planning How to Invest In Commercial Real Estate Using Your IRA or 401(k)…Maximize Your Profit…and Save For Retirement & Positive Cash Flow

When I first found out about Liberty League International, I thought I’d stepped right into partnership movie “The Secret”, you know, the movie about the Law partnership Attraction. I had watched the movie a couple of times partnership realized the significance of what it was all about. I was online looking for a home business opportunity and an impression (landing or splash page) came up with a picture of a couple who were retired. According to them, Liberty League was a wonderful home business opportunity, they were only working the business a few hours a day and were able to spend time on their catamaran in the Gulf of Mexico and really take the business anywhere in the world.

“Wow! I’ve found it! The home business I’ve been looking for is right in front of me, the Law of Attraction at work” I’m thinking. So I filled out the contact information and waited.

A short time later I received a call from a very nice woman who explained that it was her website which I landed on and she would answer any questions I might have. My first question was “what is this all about?” and she explained that I would have all of my questions answered on a “business overview call”, when would be a good time for me to go to a call? The next call was at 3:00 p.m. so I jumped right on that call.

On the call one of the members of the Executive Marketing Council reads from a script and tells you that you can actually start your own home business which has the potential to generate a multiple six figure income for only $1,495.00, and they explain how, once you have passed up your two “training sales” to your adviser you are now in a position to earn a “profit” on all of your sales at this level for life. Then they carefully explain that now that you are “qualified”, everyone who you sponsor will in turn be passing up their first two sales to you, and those two people will in turn pass up their first sales, and those four people will in turn pass up their first two sales, and those eight people will in turn pass up…well I guess you get the picture.

Next, they start explaining the historical numbers. Seems that one out of every three people who signs up at the first level – which is called the “Beyond Freedom” level – will purchase a Liberty Conference ticket for $7,995.00 and here’s the great news, you’ll be earning $5,000.00 for each of those purchases.

And it just keeps getting better. About half of those people who purchase the Liberty Conference ticket will purchase a Summit Conference ticket and, are you ready for this? you’ll be earning $8,000.00 for each of those purchases. Well I was mildly excited about all of the potential to say the least.

Then, after the call was over, something very interesting happened. I received a call from the very nice woman who asked if I had any questions and I said “yes, I have several”. Her response was “OK the next step will be to do a three-way call with another leader in the company so that they can answer all of your questions. And she made the arrangements for a call back in about a half hour to get my questions answered.

One of my questions was “I heard somewhere in the “business overview call that I can get started for $49.95, is that true?” “Well yes, but then you’ll have to pass your first five “Beyond Freedom” sales up, that would mean passing up $5,000.00 in “profit” why would you want to do that?” How true. I had much to think about so I told my prospective sponsor that I”d have to give this whole thing some thought and I’d get back to her.

That night – actually about 2:00 in the morning – I woke from a sound sleep and thought about the numbers. All I have to do is pass up my first two sales and then I’ll be “qualified”. After that everyone who I sponsor will be passing up their first two sales to me, at $1,000.00 profit each and then there are those profits of $5,000.00 and $8,000.00. Now I see how people are making fortunes in home based businesses. But I’m still holding back for some reason. Then I receive an email from the very nice woman inviting me to a a special Friday morning call which will give me a “peek behind the curtain” into the lives and successes of many of the Liberty Leaguers. Wow! this sounds like its too important to miss, and besides I have an extra half hour on Friday morning, think I’ll go to the call.

This is where “The Secret” went to work on me. I dialed in to the Friday morning call and lo and behold the stories which I was hearing were just incredible. One in particular grabbed me. Seems there was a young man who had been a security guard in a wealthy community out west, perhaps Colorado. He kept getting calls to this beautiful mansion because of a faulty alarm, and remembers just a few short years ago how one day while in the mansion he made the comment that he would never earn enough to be able to afford such luxury. Well guess what? Since joining the “League” a few short years ago, are you ready, he now owns that very same mansion. Pretty cool, right?

Well I’m sold! And let this be a lesson to you, do some due diligence before you invest in a home based business. Because not only did I invest the $1,495.00 plus shipping, I wound up investing more than $20,000.00 to “capitalize” my business. Want to know why?

Shortly after joining Liberty League and receiving my “Beyond Freedom” package I went right to work on the business as well as the personal development program. I was placing ads on the free internet sites and getting some responses and was so eager to be able to pass up a sale and then another sale to my adviser and be “qualified”. Then I received a call from the very nice woman who explained that I should go on the Tuesday night call that explains the conferences and how to really make the BIG money. Well I was shocked and dismayed. Now and only now I find out that you have to purchase one of the Liberty Conference tickets for $7,995.00 in order to qualify to earn a “profit” of $5,000.00 on tickets that you sell. Oh, and as for the Summit Conference? Same thing you have to purchase a Summit Conference ticket for $12,995.00 in order to qualify to earn a “profit” of $8,000.00 on tickets that you sell. As its explained, “this is the way to properly capitalize your business”. I was upset but what the heck, I’ve got the $20,900.00 so once I make a couple of these “Beyond Freedom” sales, I’ll go ahead and get myself “properly capitalized”.

Well a few months go by and I’m following the program and nothing’s happening. I’m generating plenty of leads and placing a lot of people on the business overview calls, I’m doing my personal development and journaling, and still no sales. Good thing for me there’s a Super Saturday event coming up and its close to home, all I have to do is buy two tickets, one for me and one for my wife, at $299.00 each, and we can go and talk to all of the leaders and find out what they are doing to be so successful. I’m certain that they will reveal all of the inside secrets and it won’t be long and we’ll be earning a fortune, just like they are.

We went to the Super Saturday and I’ll be darned if I learned anything new. Oh I realized that these people who were making five figures in a week or six figures in a month were just ordinary people, just like you and me, but about the best advice seemed to be “I was just like you, my business wasn’t going anywhere until I made the commitment and decided that this was it and I was going to go “full boat” (which means I’m going to buy my Liberty and Summit Conference tickets) and then my business, as if by magic, just took off.

So that’s the secret! You just have to have faith and take the big leap and invest another $20,990 to capitalize your business and then it will happen for you. Well there must have been something in the air or water at Super Saturday because against all reason and logic, I did it. I purchased both the Liberty Conference and Summit Conference tickets. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t wait to do it. I actually went online and placed the order for them on Sunday following the event. And again, I did it “no questions asked”, and again the most important information was withheld until the tickets were paid in full.

Here’s the real kicker! I found out shortly after I “qualified” at the “Beyond Freedom” level that it would take an incredible effort to become qualified at the other levels. Here’s why. Seems that your adviser has a register for each level. After I purchased my Liberty Conference ticket their register had to have four ticket sales after mine in order for me to be released. You want the most interesting aspect of this entire adventure? My advisers weren’t even actively marketing Liberty League anymore. What did that mean for me? It meant that I would have to pass up four ticket sales at the Liberty Conference level in order to qualify to earn profits at that level, and four ticket sales at the Summit Conference level in order to qualify to earn profits at that level. Can you believe it? That’s $52,000.00 more in profits that the very nice woman, my adviser, would earn before I earned a DIME!

Is Liberty League international for you? Only you can decide however, if you want some more information you might want to Google Liberty League International and do a thorough investigation of the first couple of pages. Then, when you’re finished there, Google Australian 2 up. Read Michael Dlouhy ezine and also scroll down and you’ll see Liberty League International has had a class action lawsuit filed against them. I’m certainly not telling anyone not to go with Liberty League, just do your due diligence – something I didn’t do.

Consumers are not the only ones concerned about and taking steps to protect against identity theft. Many states are taking important steps to protect their residents. A few of these steps include stiffer penalties, imposing sanctions and fines on careless companies and providing their residents with many tools necessary to correct the errors that identity theft has caused.

Many identity theft savvy consumers are: installing anti-spy ware, using shredders, reducing the use of their social security number, using services to stop junk mail and risky credit card applications. But what about the actions of others? After all the care you take to protect yourself, what happens when others, such as companies or service providers do not?

Businesses that have access to your information aren’t always looking for you. It is far too easy to simply throw important personal information away, than to take the sometimes expensive steps needed to have it professionally disposed of. But many states are looking out for your best interest, especially when it comes to identity theft. Texas has a growing reputation for being proactive in preventing identity theft and tough on punishing businesses who don’t protect the consumer. Texas law requires vendors to take specific precautions before disposing of personal documents that may include customers’ bank accounts, driver’s license and Social Security numbers. In the state of Texas, you can bet companies will be thinking twice before dumping your credit application in a public trash can.

Examples of Poor Business Practices:

Public trash cans outside a local Radio Shack were filled with thousands of customer’s sensitive personal and credit information after the dumping of these documents. Credit applications containing names, social security numbers, debit and credit card numbers as well as addresses and telephone numbers and receipts were located, exposing many Radio Shack Consumers to identity theft or credit card fraud.

After investigations by the State of Texas Attorney General’s office, a settlement was reached. Under the settlement with Radio-Shack, the retailer is required to enhance security procedures and implement employee training. Radio Shack also agreed to unannounced compliance audits in all Texas stores bi-annually.

Select Medical was investigated after a report that over 4,000 documents were found in the garbage behind their Select Physical Therapy Location. These un-shredded records included bank account numbers, drug testing results, insurance verification sheets as well as sensitive social and vocational therapy questionnaires. Select Medical will also be required to amend security procedures and implement training for Texas employees about the newly established state laws governing customer record disposal. The insurance forms are of particular concern in light of the growing trend of medical identity theft, in which an individuals’ insurance information is used to obtain medical services or to commit insurance fraud.

Under the settlement agreement, the state of Texas will receive nearly $1.5 million in fines, including attorney’s fees. As outlined in the Identity Theft and Protection Act, the remainder will be used for the investigation and prosecution of future cases of identity theft.

Stiff penalties are just one of the steps taken to protect and prevent identity theft. The Texas Attorney General’s Office has created a checklist for victims of identity theft to take steps and track their progress during recovery. The identity theft check list includes information and forms on: closing all fraudulent accounts made in your name, contacting the 3 major credit reporting agencies and requesting a fraud alert or security freeze for new accounts, reporting identity theft crimes for local law enforcement and obtaining a copy of the police report, and reporting identity theft crimes to Federal Trade Commission and completing and ID Theft Affidavit. Victims are also advised to file a consumer complaint with the Office of the Attorney General in the event that they are harassed by credit collectors as a result of identity theft. Additionally The Texas Attorney General’s Office also offers an Identity Theft Victim’s Kit.

According to 2006 state statistics on identity theft, Texas ranks fourth in the area of identity theft. States are ranked according to victims per 100,000 people, and it should be noted that Texas also has a higher population than many other states. The top ten states with the Most Victims of Identity Theft Per Capita are: Arizona, Nevada, California, Texas, Florida, Colorado, Georgia, New York, Washington, and New Mexico.

Just because your state did not make the top ten list, doesn’t mean you are safe. No matter where you live, this crime is a real problem. Information, advocacy, laws and prosecutions in any state will ultimately help everyone but in the mean time consumers must educate themselves and arm themselves with protection against identity theft as well as the remedies available to them. With the continued efforts of law enforcement, state and federal agencies, stiffer fines and penalties as well as requiring a higher standard of care from businesses, progress is being made on many levels in protecting consumers.
