Is A High School Diploma Really Necessary

Written by funker on August 29, 2010 – 3:18 pm

You may be amazed at the number of career doors a high school diploma can open for you. It is true that a high school diploma will fetch you numerous great job offers. In a world, which is becoming increasingly competitive, possessing even the best skills is not good enough without a high school diploma. Today there are vast numbers of youngsters who have got the skills suited for many higher positions but they are deprived of them for not having a high school diploma. Though you may feel you have much greater potential than the person next door, in reality you may be working in a much lower position and earning far less just because you don’t possess a high school diploma whereas your neighbor does.


Challenging circumstances of life or financial problems sometimes force people to drop out of school leaving their high school education incomplete. Though most of them manage to land a job, sooner or later they realize they have got stuck in their career and have stopped growing professionally. They continue to stagnate helplessly in the same position for years without a promotion. To their frustration, a new employee with a high school diploma grabs a higher position in the same organization and progresses fast receiving one promotion after another. You may find this to be unfair but this is the trend of the job market where only a well-qualified person is considered to be knowledgeable and able to handle the job responsibilities efficiently.

What’s Really Going into our Pet’s Food Dish?

Written by funker on August 27, 2010 – 3:20 pm

The Tricks behind Reading a Dog Food Label

The label contains many important facts and figures that may or may not persuade us to purchase the food. It is important to read the labels, but to do this effectively it is important to know something about  what the facts on the label mean.

The product name is the main thing you notice first. The product name may also contain primary ingredient names such as “Beef Dog Chow”, or what kind of dog the food is intended for, such as “Puppies, Adult, Lactating”, etc.

If, in the product name, an ingredient is listed, say for example that “Beef Dog Chow”, that beef must be at least 95% of the total weight if there is no water required for processing, and at least 70% when water is included. So, for dry kibble, 95% of that weight needs to contain beef.

When the title contains “dinner, formula, nuggets,” and other similar words, the ingredient named must be at least 25% of the weight. So in a product named Lamb Dinner, 25% of the total weight for the product must be lamb.

Fibromyalgia Syndrome Fact: Food Combining Really Can Help!

Written by funker on July 31, 2010 – 3:19 pm

There are a lot of diets out there that claim to help fibromyalgia syndrome sufferers.  Some of them are great and some are not so great.  In fact, a lot of them are pure fiction.  There are people out there that try to take advantage of the fact that we’re in pain and looking for something – anything, that will help.  I am doing my best to weed through the bad to get to the good!  Food Combining has been shown to truly be effective for many FM sufferers!  I call it one of the “good” ones.

Everyone needs to be aware that stimulants (sugar, salt, caffeine, MSG), overcooked meats, highly processed foods, hydrogenated fats, saturated fats, food additives and preservatives, and bad food combinations fill the body with toxic substances that it has to process.  Toxicity build-up can intensify fibromyalgia symptoms and even cause some of them.

Food combining is a way of eating foods so that they do not work against each other.  There are three categories that food falls into when combining: proteins, neutral foods and starchy foods. Fruits are treated separately.  Starchy foods and proteins cannot be eaten together, but both can be eaten with neutral foods, promoting more efficient digestion.

What Can Hypoallergenic Dog Food Really Do?

Written by funker on November 18, 2009 – 3:21 pm

Allergies abound in today’s health arena, for dogs as well as humans. There are a various causes for this, but in my opinion, there is only one maintaining cause, ie the reason it keeps going.

As a rule, allergies are showing that the sufferer has a very weak immune system. When you are considering feeding your dog a hypoallergenic dog food, you know that his immune system is at rock bottom.

I’m not going to address the possible causes here, but I am going to look at bringing your dog’s immune system up, so that he is no longer so sensitive.

Food is consumed every day. So food has the biggest impact on your dog’s health. Whatever the label may say, if you’re feeding your dog a commercial hypoallergenic dog food, then you’re contributing to his discomfort and ill health.

All commercial pet foods are basically the same:

  • over cooked, destroying vital nutrients
  • use of very low quality food, such as dead animals and high fat
  • use of any cheap filler to bulk it out
  • use of highly toxic preservatives – how else do you keep ‘meat’ products indefinitely, at room temperature
