By Alison Cole Home grants are very hard to come by these days. However, it is true that not everyone is capable of paying for their own housing. For those people who are unable to pay for an apartment or house, they sometimes end up living in the streets. With homelessness on the rise, the Federal government enacted the Supportive Housing Program to combat the homeless problem. This program will help keep people off the streets, and into a more permanent and stable place to live. This program is designed to give housing to homeless people, as well as an opportunity to have them live independently and receive the necessary skills to be able to support themselves. There are also other program grants available for those in need of housing assistance. The Federal government offers a program that will pay for long term housing for people with disabilities and their families. This program is designed to provide housing for those who currently live in places not intended for human habitation. It allows for a variety of choices, as well as a wide range of supportive services for those with severe disabilities. Rental assistance from the government is not just for those with disabilities, individuals or families who are unable to afford adequate housing due to unforeseen circumstances are also eligible for housing grants. Government housing is available for people while looking for a job, and the program will assist in either training you with more skills to help you find a job, or help you send out resumes to potential employers.

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matt_J] Matt J Before we discuss carpal tunnel syndrome treatment it is first important to learn how this condition occurs. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage of both bone and ligaments in your wrist. The median nerve passes through this passage. For most people there is never a problem with this nerve passing through this small tunnel. However, continuous wrist and hand movement puts stress on the tendons, and may even cause them to swell. This swelling logically limits the space in the tunnel and can eventually put pressure on the median nerve. The pressure has the undesired effects of numbness, pain and limited movement. There are many activities that contribute to these overuse injuries. Overuse injuries are very common in occupations that include keyboarding, playing musical instruments or even workers on an assemble line. It is the repetition with the hand and wrist that exposes oneself to this sort of inflammation and discomfort. The most common form manifests itself in the wrist. Additional symptoms include pain, weakness, burning, numbness or even tingling in the hand. If you are experiencing any of these feelings then you need carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. The good news is that there is help that you can do from home as long as your pain and discomfort are only moderate. This moderate discomfort accounts for the vast majority of all cases. However, without a lifestyle change and any treatment your pain and mobility can progress to severe. For more severe cases you will need to consider surgery or even physical therapy treatment. For moderate cases cold pack therapy will provide just the relief you need. Gel ice packs will not only lessen the pain they will also help reduce the swelling and pressure on the median nerve and provide immediate, temporary relief around the wrist. Of course this form of carpal tunnel syndrome treatment must be applied appropriately. We recommend applying cold therapy in 10 to 20 minute increments. Do not apply ice directly to the skin. This cannot only cause pain and discomfort due to the cold, but could eventually lead to damage. There are numerous ways to avoid this direct contact. The most common technique is to use a towel to serve as both a container and a barrier. However, this method does not treat the entire wrist, can be messy and will involve another hand or some bandage to hold it in place. Not a big deal, but it will prevent you from accomplishing anything else, and may take more time if you decide to rotate the ice around each side of the wrist. Fortunately, companies have finally started to make sports medicine cold pack therapy products just for this condition. I recommend purchasing one of these ice wraps made especially for the wrist. They are very inexpensive, often less than $25. Custom ice wraps are extremely comfortable and provide effective carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. The concept is very simple. Manufacturers begin with gel ice packs. This gel is a special substance that freezes quickly and feels comfortable when applied. The packs are then sealed in plastic or rubber before being placed in a special material that is perfect for many physical therapy applications. Once such material is neoprene, but there are others. Neoprene adds the perfect amount of insulation and padding without preventing the cold pack therapy process from working. Now you have a finished ice wrap that is a perfect carpal tunnel syndrome treatment. They can be put right back into the freezer for multiple applications. The nice thing about these ice wraps is that they may be used over your clothes without creating a mess when the ice thaws. Matt is an established retailer of all kind of gel ice packs that specialize in each individual body part. For more info visit [http://www.icewraps.net/] http://www.icewraps.net/.

By E. A. Edwards My first experience surf fishing was with my father on Wrightsville Beach, NC in the 60s. He parked our shiny black Ford Fairlane in a gravel parking lot off the beach and we hiked over the dunes to the surf, carrying rods, buckets, tackle box and various other fishing paraphernalia. I remember him catching bluefish, croakers, puppy drum and flounder as I played in the tidal pools nearby. Later, my grandmother would fry the filleted fish to a golden brown and we would eat them with hushpuppies and coleslaw. Years later, in the mid-eighties, I remember an early winter fishing expedition near Oregon Inlet, south of Nags Head, this time with my husband, 8-month old daughter and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy. My husband had come in from duck hunting and had heard the big blues were hitting the beach! We parked our 4-wheel drive truck nearby on the hard sand and with the baby playing contentedly in her car seat and the puppy chewing on anything he could find, we lined up along the surf with a few dozen other fishermen, casting the heavy silver spoon lures into the churning waters of the big blue blitz. Cast after cast we were rewarded with huge bluefish, twelve to sixteen pounds, filling up a wheelbarrow in a pyramid of large fish. Later we filleted, boiled and ate the fish in casseroles made with mashed potatoes. Needless to say, we were eating bluefish casseroles all winter long. Surf fishing is exciting, rewarding and accessible to all. Most locations can be reached either by car or ferry. With a basic understanding of seasons, conditions, equipment and regulations, an angler can get lucky just about any time of the year, but typically the very best times to surf fish are spring and fall. Popular and prolific sport fish species you may catch surf fishing along the North Carolina coast include: Channel bass (red drum, puppy drum) — The spring season generally begins in April. This run will peak by mid May and taper off in early June. Average size in spring is 35 to 50 pounds. In September the smaller drum will enter the surf. These fish will range between 2 and 15 pounds. They are more plentiful than the larger variety and can be found in most sloughs. In late October the bigger drum (40-70 pounds) return and remain until late November. Bait of choice is fresh mullet; rods are 9 to 11 feet with medium to heavy action tips. Size allowed is between 18 and 27 with a daily bag limit of 1 per person. Bluefish — Blues are available in a variety of sizes from April to December to surf fishermen and boaters as well. Large size blues (8-12 pounds) arrive in May and remain until November. Their departure is generally hastened by the arrival of the fall run of 15-20 pound giant blues. These later fall visitors are plentiful and powerful. They’ll take bait (mullet, spot, or menhaden) or almost any type of lure. Fishing rods 9 to 11 feet are preferred. Bag limit of 15 per day per person. Only 5 allowed over 24 total length (from tip of snout to tip of compressed tail). Spanish mackerel — This fish is somewhat of a tourist, arriving in June and staying until later September. The Spanish is delicious, averages 1 to 3 pounds and presents a real challenge to any angler. Spanish mackerel are usually taken on fast moving metal lures. Fishing rod of choice is a 9 foot light action. Minimum size allowed is 12 fork length (from tip of snout to middle of fork in tail). Bag limit of 15 per day per person Striped bass — Recently during the winter months striped bass have returned to NC waters in great numbers. October, November and December are the best times for fishing, with fish still showing up as late as February. In Atlantic waters, size limit is over 27 total length with bag limit of 2 per day. For sounds and other areas, consult the NC Marine Fisheries website. Flounder (summer, southern)– Flounder begin biting in May as the water warms. By June, the fishing is going strong, with both summer and southern flounder being caught. Southern flounder dominate the catch in inshore and southern NC waters, while summer flounder dominate the catch in offshore waters north of Cape Hatteras. Many flounder are caught using cut baits and some are caught using jigs. When jigs are used, they work best when tipped with fish, shrimp or a mullet minnow. Other species available to North Carolina surf fishermen are pompano, croaker, trout, spot, hogfish and whiting (sea mullet). Be advised that there is a proposed recreational saltwater fishing license which is scheduled to take effect January 2006. The license is still being debated by the North Carolina General Assembly and you should check the NC Marine Fisheries website (http://www.ncfisheries.net) to determine if a license is required before fishing the NC coast after that date. Also, the size regulations and limits given above are accurate at the time of this writing (summer 2005) but are subject to change, so check the NC Marine Fisheries website to confirm these regulations before your fishing expedition. Whether beginning angler or old salt, surf fishing is a popular and fun activity with minimal expense, no boat required, easy access to great fishing conditions and plenty of action. With a minimum of effort and expense, you can catch a variety of excellent eating fish, have a great time and start making your own memories. E. A.

By Melissa Steele The term aromatherapy was first used in the 1920s by French chemist Ren Maurice Gattefoss. Gattefoss first discovered the potential healing powers of natural oils after catching his arm on fire one day in his lab. In his attempt to put out the fire, he thrust his arm into the nearest bin of liquid, which just happened to be lavender oil. The burn healed quickly without a scar. Aromatherapy is commonly associated with alternative healing techniques. It is the process of using natural oils as a means to alter a person’s mood or health. There are three main branches of aromatherapy. The first is home aromatherapy, which is self-treatment with aromatherapy products. The second is clinical aromatherapy. Clinical aromatherapy is used as a pharmacological treatment in a clinical setting. The third branch is aromachology. Aromachology is the study of odors and their effects on the mind. There are three common methods of aromatherapy use. The first is the use of oil as a scent. Commonly, aromatherapy oils used for this purpose are found in candle form. At the scent level, certain plant oils activate the limbic system and the emotional centers of the brain. Aromatherapy candles are believed to be beneficial in creating alternate emotions. The second common method of aromatherapy use is as a topical treatment. When certain plant oils are applied to the skin, they activate thermal receptors and kill microbes and fungi. In many cases, natural oils are used to heal skin abrasions, just as Gattefoss used lavender oil to expedite the healing of his burn wounds. The final common method of aromatherapy use is as an internal drug. For this purpose, natural oil medications must be prescribed. They are said to activate the immune system. Aromatherapy, especially in the more developed countries of the world, is almost never used as the sole treatment for an ailment. Often, it is only used as a method of alternative medicine. However, many healthcare workers use aromatherapy techniques in combination with other more recognized treatments. However, many individuals preach of the stress-relieving benefits of aromatherapy scents. In fact, aromatherapy is commonly used in spas as a method of relaxation. Skeptics argue that the benefits of aromatherapy treatments are supported with little scientific research. Persons interested in using aromatherapy techniques as a means of stress reduction need to first understand what natural oils are effective in providing the emotional effect they desire. For example, honeysuckle oils are said to be relaxing and rejuvenating, perfect for stress reduction after a long week at work. Likewise, rose oils are said to create a romantic atmosphere.

By Michael V. Gruber The complexities of a changing medical field in technology, advanced information, and facing a growing leadership role among nurses has increased the need for a degree of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing among registered nurses (RN). This higher level of education takes commitment and dedication and in the following article, we will outline how to achieve these goals. Advancing your nursing degree The difference between RN and BSN Beginning a career in nursing for those who desire an abbreviated education will get an associates degree (AD) which usually involves 2-3 years of schooling. A nurse may also follow a diploma program, usually through a hospital, that is also 2-3 years in length before becoming an RN. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Sample Survey, 70% of nurses have AD or diploma level degrees. An RN must also pass all required examinations such as the NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses) before practicing with patient contact. For many nurses looking to advance their careers, a BSN is the natural next step. It is a 4 year program that includes research oriented learning, leadership training, and liberal arts. Many of the students that are enrolled in the BSN program are previous RNs with associate degrees or diplomas. They are now going back to school with all the hardships involved; financially, time inflexibility, family and other outstanding commitments. The differences between an RN and BSN are not necessarily clear to the patient who is being treated with basic care. A nurse treating a patient wont be asked, excuse me, are you a RN or a BSN? Yet the differences lie within. The education gained, the additional technical training, and the potential advancement are not immediately recognized by the patient. A nurse with a BSN can review research papers, advocate for the patient, work with leaders in the hospital or medical facility with confidence and advanced management skills. A nurse with an RN may have all these abilities, yet a BSN enhances them and increases advancement opportunities. Career Opportunities with a BSN RNs return to school for a number of reasons, yet many are personal in nature: To become leaders in the nursing industry, advancing their careers, or move to the next level and receive a masters or doctoral degree. Management-level nursing requires an advanced degree such as a BSN. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, in management, nurses can become anywhere from the assistant head nurse or head nurse, to assistant director, director, and vice president and upwards. Other career opportunities include research, consulting, and teaching. A nurse with a BSN can manage a home health care clinic and ambulatory services, etc. Nurses can also move into the business side of nursing to becoming an manager of an insurance company, pharmaceutical manufacturer, and managed care organization (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2005). Salary Benefits of advancing a degree from RN to BSN Advanced nursing degrees create new career opportunities and justify an increased salary. An RN and a BSN will receive the same salary for the same nursing position, but as the BSN moves through the ranks to a higher position, salaries tend to increase. For example, a promotion to a management position of head nurse with a BSN has a higher salary than being the floor nurse with an RN. Education Opportunities and Education Cost In 2004, there were 600 RN to BSN programs in the United States. Many RN’s use the tuition reimbursement from their employer as an incentive to go back for the BSN. There are also accelerated BSN programs for those individuals who already attained bachelor or higher degrees and wish to go into nursing. There are more than 165 of these programs in the United States. These programs are 12 to 18 months in length (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2005). In choosing the appropriate program, it is necessary to choose whether to work in a classroom setting or study through an online RN to BSN program. The classroom setting has many benefits which include peer contact and live lectures. Sharing experiences with others and learning from other previous like-minded RNs is a great benefit. The dilemma with classroom education for most nurses is the stringent scheduling and time management needed to attend class and work around an RNs busy schedule. An online nursing degree course is the other alternative. It is a way for nurses to work while continuing with their education with flexibility around time commitments. The non-clinical portion of the classroom courses are given online and the clinicals are usually arranged at a medical facility near the nurses home. There may be timed lectures or the nurses may do lectures at their own time with assignments being sent to the lecturer by fax or mail on designated due dates. Examinations are usually offered online. Many times the online school follows a semester schedule and has a set start and finish date, though this is not true for all schools. To learn more about online RN to BSN programs, refer to your school of choice and learn what that school offers. Conclusion Personal satisfaction, a qualitative factor that can not be measured or quantified, is what many BSN students say is most important about receiving their advanced degree. Our society is advancing in all areas, with technology and intellectual expertise. The information is available and the prerequisites allow many RN’s to attain an advanced degree; the determining factor is, we must advance as a society and create leaders in all areas of industry. A BSN gives the degree and knowledge and critical leadership skills for an RN to advance in the world of medicine, business, and personal achievement. By Michael V.

By Sharon Lauer No matter if the wedding is grand or simple, the event is almost always marked with a wedding gift for the special couple. In times past, the gift was usually a household item. Embarking on their new life together meant buying their first house and living as a family. Linen, china and small kitchen appliances were given to help the couple set up their new house. Today we find many couples living together before they have a wedding. At the time of their wedding their house is already set up. Which leads to the question, What do we give the special couple to celebrate their vows to each other? For some, gifts have shifted from household items to personal items. Spa packages and pampering products are seen being given to the bride and sports tickets and sports equipment to the groom. Sometimes a special event package is added on to the honeymoon or plane tickets are upgraded to first class. Most resorts and cruise lines have fruit, flower and gourmet gift baskets that can be purchased and placed in the newlyweds room for you. For far away friends and family the gift search can be even more of a challenge. Gift cards although less than personal are, as they say, always the right size. Hiring a maid for the new couple to clean for a few months is a nice idea. Gift baskets filled with tasty delicacies the couple wouldnt normally treat themselves to can be a delicious surprise. There is a wide variety of gift baskets to choose from containing everything from caviar and sparkling cider to brownies and muffins. A breakfast basket containing everything necessary for a wonderful gourmet breakfast might be just the unique gift youre looking for. If you still want to stick with the more traditional gifts like gifts for their home, theres still some ideas out there. A personalized quilt is a unique idea and will be appreciated for many years to come. You could get the happy couple an upgraded appliance or a set of holiday dinnerware. A plaque for outside their home with their house number or name is a nice touch they may not have. A security system is a great idea for everyones home and a gift they will remember each time they close the door or turn off the light. A set of the finest sheets is something they may not treat themselves to but would definitely enjoy. Although the social circumstances of marriages may have changed, our desire to celebrate the giving of vows has not. Adjusting our gift ideas can be challenging. Be careful to consider your newlyweds and what might mean the most to them when choosing their gift. Give from the heart and you cant go wrong.

By Nancy Schurr Nearly every woman struggles with weight gain during perimenopause and menopause. It’s not usual to put on 10 to 15 pounds without any changes at all in your caloric intake or activity level. Very few middle-aged women are thrilled about gaining weight. Not only does it make us feel less attractive, but it can have adverse affects on our overall health, as well. Recent studies on weight gain during and after menopause also show that it can increase a woman’s risk of breast cancer. What causes menopausal weight gain? Age itself is the biggest factor. As we age, our metabolism slows. We tend to become less physically active, which decreases muscle mass and slows the metabolism even more. Many of us tend to eat out more often, as well. We’re busy and we can afford to. We may no longer be concerned with providing healthy meals for our children at home or setting a good example for them. We may eat alone more often, which can also push us to cook less and eat fast food more often. Restaurant portions are generous and we do not always choose wisely. This can quickly add up to a ten pound time bomb. During perimenopause, your ovaries produce less estrogen and your body looks for other places to get it. Fat cells can produce estrogen, so your body works to convert calories into fat to increase its estrogen levels. Unfortunately, fat cells don’t burn calories the way muscle cells do, which causes you to pack on unwanted pounds. Interestingly, the International Journal of Obesity reports research showing that less sleep leads to increased body weight. A lack of sleep results in reduced levels of leptin, a protein that regulates body fat, and increases in ghrelin, which stimulates food intake. Therefore, a lack of sleep can increase hunger and body fat. As a result of frequent night sweats, women transitioning through perimenopause are often sleep deprived, which can contribute to weight gain. Without a doubt, exercise is the single most important and effective method of preventing or reducing menopausal weight gain. Exercise builds muscle and muscle burns more calories than fat cells. In addition to playing a huge roll in controlling weight, regular physical activity can also relieve or reduce the impact of many other uncomfortable physical and emotional effects of perimenopause, including anxiety, mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia. Weight bearing exercise is also critical in the prevention of osteoporosis in older women. Your body’s hormones have a direct impact on your metabolism, appetite, and fat storage. During menopause, hormones can fluctuate wildly, making weight control extremely difficult. Once again, exercise can help. It stimulates the adrenal glands to convert the male hormone androstenedione into estrogen, thereby naturally boosting your estrogen levels and helping to restore hormonal balance. In addition to exercise, consider boosting or balancing your estrogen levels in other ways to help control your weight and to help alleviate other menopausal symptoms. A variety of over-the-counter products, herbal remedies and supplements and prescriptions are available to you. Even though many of them are labeled “natural”, they may not be right for you. Be certain to consult with your medical provider before undertaking a course of treatment.
