They do this by allowing you to block users not only from certain areas and cities, but also from countries. Being comfortable with companies that don’t have these features is up to you.

You should join a company that permits you to throw out customers who ask for thing not allowed by the company policy.

Discrimination against Online Education Degrees




Education is a process that faces constant evolution. For people who seek quality education, distance is not an issue. The scope of education is boundless and anybody with an iron-will can pursue it, no matter what. The best part about today’s world is the advent of technology. Universities of eminent names and prestige are offering master’s degree, bachelor’s degrees and even PhD degrees online. These online education degree programs allow people to further their education at the click of their mouse. This also allows them to increase their earning potential even before they have completed their schooling.

While online education may be the Utopian answer, but there are still some major apprehensions or pitfalls that students and their parents face. For instance, they face the constant discrimination of being told, their degrees do not have the same value as a degree from a brick and mortar institution. Also in this case, students are partly to blame. There are numerous students who do take their online degrees seriously, but there are thousand more students, who resort to easy cheating to score more marks. This is one of the main reasons, why institutions do not trust students with online degrees. There are a number of softwares such as TurnItIn but the security measures to control plagiarism are of no match to the number of copy paste cases.

This is unfortunately a vicious cycle. The idea of online education degree has been set in motion but it will be a few years before people in authority can come to terms with it.

Online MBA programs – What to Consider?




The concept of online MBA programs have been around for a long time but there are some reservations on the part of certain major publications which are instrumental in awarding ranks to schools. For instance publications like World Report, Business Week and US News are not fully convinced of the worth of these online degrees. This is because the criteria used to rank the brick-and-mortar MBA teaching institutions cannot be used to rank online “institutions”.

In spite of all these “reservations”, most students prefer online MBA programs compared to the regular institutes. To these students, the reputation doesn’t mean much. They are looking for something which is convenient and is more affordable. However, in the search for something cheap and reasonable one must not compromise on the minimum quality that he or she is entitled to expect from the online programs. Here are a few points that he or she must consider:

  • Affiliation of the school- The prospective student must know which agency is affiliated with the MBA program, the student is choosing. For instance, a student should look for the accreditation by AASCB, which is one of the best boards for accreditation. One way of deciding this, is to check if the school requires GMAT.
  • Value- MBA programs are more affordable online. But it is not necessary, that every affordable discount is the proof of a great bargain. The online programs may cost $20,000 whereas the ones accredited by AASCB will be around $32000, since those require additional work for the faculty members.
  • Recruiter’s View- Honestly, most hiring managers aren’t that crazy about people who pursue their MBA degrees online. However, times are changing now and people are hiring as long as the candidate has an MBA degree.

A Guide for Online PhD Programs



Earlier the concept of online PhD programs is a little distant for people who have been brought up the old-school way. There are numerous apprehensions that they have. One of them is how can an online degree program have the environment and ambience of a brick and mortar doctorate program. In time, people have come to realize, it is no longer necessary to do one particular thing at one time. This is the generation of IT and the buzzword is MULTI-TASKING. Though there may be some grain of truth in the apprehensions of the elders, but nothing comes without a solution. For instance, in fields like medicine and chemistry, one cannot pursue a doctorate degree online.

However, barring a few exceptions, there are numerous online PhD programs which can help a student complete their education timely and in an effective manner. People usually believe a PhD equates a Doctorate of Philosophy or a doctorate as the most common degree. There are some additional forms of degrees such as Doctor of Divinity; the students are mostly clergymen or Doctorate of Arts which allows the person to teach certain college subjects. Most degree programs offer the doctorate degree as the most senior program. Usually the most prestigious jobs are marked for only those who are doctorates.

A doctorate program usually takes from 4 years to a decade. However, online programs help the students get the tag of Dr. much sooner. There are numerous advantages of studying this way. Students save more time on commute and this helps to keep their personal lives balanced.

Why Refering Skin Cancer Pictures?

 

Skin cancer can be classified into three types – melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma.

Melanoma skin cancer affects the cells that produce melanin though it also known to start from moles as well. Squamous cell carcinoma usually starts from the squamous cells that are located top layer of the skin. Basal cell carcinoma on the other hand affects the basal cells that are located on skin’s bottom layer.

The features of a normal mole are symmetrical in shape, uniform color, and have consistent borders. If a mole is asymmetrical in shape and its coloring is not uniform then these moles should be inspected by a dermatologist immediately. The elevations of these moles are not consistent and they tend to be greater than ¼ of an inch or 6 mm in size. Signs of this type cancer can noticed in the nail beds of fingers and toes. If the area of the nail bed is discolored or is either blue or brown in color then it should be inspected by a dermatologist. The affected area might either be a spot in the nail bed or the whole area itself. Skin cancer pictures bring a better understanding on this.

The symptoms of squamous cell carcinoma usually start appearing on the face first. The areas that are exposed to the sun are usually affected. The affected area can crusty. Having a dermatologist inspect lumps, bumps, or spots that are scaly or ulcerated is a good idea. The symptoms can also be patches that are both raised and shiny as well as being surrounded by scaly areas.

The symptoms of basal cell carcinoma have the tendency to appear scaly and flat. Though they may start out being small, they can and will grow in size. Their sometimes appear to be flesh colored and one can see small vessels traveling through them.

For illustrations and detailed understanding, refer skin cancer pictures.

Simvastatin - Diminishes Fat and Bad Cholesterol

 

Simvastatin belongs to the statin group of drugs. The purpose of this drug is to reduce the amount of fat and bad cholesterol present in the blood. It also increases the amount of good cholesterol present in the blood. All of this is possible only if the patient follows a proper diet. This helps the patient by making sure that the amount of cholesterol that the liver makes is reduced. By doing so reduces the patient’s chances of suffering from heart diseases. It also reduces the patient’s chances of suffering from either heart attacks or strokes.

The effectiveness of simvastatin is increased if the patients follow a proper diet and makes changes to their lifestyle. The changes in lifestyle include reducing one’s weight if one is overweight. Patients are advised to exercise regularly and not smoke so that the drugs effectiveness increases. The dosage of this drug must be decided by the doctor. The doctor will decide the dosage based on many factors that include the age of the patient, the body’s response to the treatment, and the medication they are already taking. If the patient is taking any other medication including herbal products, nonprescription and prescription drugs, they should inform their doctor about it.

Drinking grapefruit juice or eating grapefruit should be totally avoided while taking this medication, unless prescribed by your doctor. This is because the amount of this medication present in the patient’s blood stream.

Simvastatin is not without side-effects. If not taken regularly the medication can cause problems in the muscles and in very rare case result in the patient developing rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is a very serious condition. If the patient develops weakness/tenderness/muscle pain along with either unusual tiredness or fever they should report it to their doctor. In case the amount of urine changes it too should be brought to the doctor’s notice.

Even though the medication very rarely affects the liver, the patient should inform the doctor if they have any of these symptoms – persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, dark urine and yellow skin or eyes.

The drug rarely causes an allergic reaction in patients. One must seek medical attention if they face trouble breathing, severe dizziness, itching or swelling (particularly in the throat, tongue, face) and rash.

For more information about the various interactions this drug will have with other medications as well as the precautions to be taken consult a doctor.

The Various Signs of ADHD

 

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the full form of ADHD. This disorder usually starts appearing during a person’s early childhood. ADD or attention deficit disorder is the name by which this disorder is commonly known. Containing their spontaneous responses is something people who suffer from this disorder find hard to do. Their spontaneous responses can range from anything including moment to attentiveness and speech.

They have low tolerance to boredom.

These people are very impulsive in nature and very often find it hard to wait for their turn. They tend to act in haste and they seem to be not capable of learning form their past mistakes.

These have huge amounts of energy and tend to keep fidgeting. The very lethargic ones tend to be couch potatoes and very slow. They have a habit of being physically present only that is their mind is elsewhere.

The Various Lung Cancer Stages



Non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer are the two type of lung cancer. There are around six stages in lung cancer. The chance of a person surviving goes down with each stage.

The first stage is called the hidden or occult stage. Cancer cell can be found either in the mucus or the sputum that has been coughed up. However one can’t find the tumor using bronchoscopy or imaging. This is may be due to the small shape of the tumor.

Stage 0 or the second stage is said to be the carcinoma in situ stage. Abnormal cells can be found in the airway’s lining during this stage. There are chances that these cells might become cancerous and as result infect the tissues next to them.

Stage 1 or the third stage of lung cancer is divided into two – stage 1A and stage 1B. These stages are based on the tumor size and the extent to which it has spread in the lungs.

Stage 2 or the fourth stage is divided into 2A and 2B. Each of these stages is further divided into two. The size of the tumor along with its location and the affect it has on lymph nodes plays a vital role in its classification.

Stage 3 or the fifth stage is divided into – 3A and 3B. These stages are further divided into 3A1, 3A2, 3A3, 3B1, and 3B2. The effect of the cancer cells on the lymph nodes is the basis of this classification. The organs found in the chest region that have been affected also plays a great role in the classification of this stage.

Stage 4 or the sixth stage is the final stage of lung cancer stages. During this stage the cancer has spread and has affected many other parts of the body, like kidney and brain. The sixth stage or stage IV is the final stage in which cancer has spread to other parts of the body including the kidney and brain.

The survival chance goes down with each of the lung cancer stages. Treatment for each of these lung cancer stages vary.

Lisinopril - an ACE inhibitor



Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme and is used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. The drug also helps improve the chances of a patient surviving a heart attack.

What are High Blood Pressure Causes?



When the pressure applied on the blood vessel’s walls increases then the person concerned is said to suffer from high blood pressure. It is the job of the arteries to carry the blood pumped out by the heart to other parts. When a person is suffering from high blood pressure his or her heart needs to use extra force to pump the blood to other parts of the body. The arteries can harden up due to high blood pressure and result in the person having heart failure.

There are many high blood pressure causes. These causes include old age, smoking, being overweight, no physical activity, consuming alcohol in excess, genetics, adrenal & thyroid diseases, chronic kidney disease, stress and salt rich diet.

There are two types of high blood pressure – essential and secondary high blood pressure.

Estrogen rich birth control pills can also cause the person to suffer from high blood pressure. Some of the other causes include medications that are used t constrict blood vessels can cause high blood pressure. Pregnancies can sometimes cause high blood pressure.

Are You Aware of Flu Symptoms?



Flu is a highly contagious respiratory infection that scientists like to call influenza. The group of viruses that causes this disease is called the influenza viruses. These viruses normally enter the body of the patient through mouth, nose, or eyes.

Air is the medium through which this influenza virus spreads. If a person who is suffering from influenza either sneezes or coughs, they are allowing this virus to become airborne. The airborne virus can then infect the person who inhales it. A person who touches and infected object before touching either their nose or mouth are at high risk f getting influenza. Buses and schools are high risk areas where virus can spread easily.

The risk of getting flu is higher among people with specific health conditions, school children and older adults. One can use the any of the different options available to treat flu, if one is able to differentiate between flu and cold.

Common flu symptoms include chills, cough, muscle aches, extreme tiredness, headaches fever, sore throat, and runny nose. Runny nose is more common among children than it is in adults.

COPD Symptoms and Causes



Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is the full form of COPD. This disease is a progressive one in the sense that it gets worse with the passage of time. People who suffer from this disease find breathing hard.
Cigarette smoking is said to be the leading cause of this disease. It can be even caused by exposing the lungs to various irritants that include air pollution, chemical fumes, and dust.

COPD symptoms can be caused by any disease affecting the lungs. The symptoms are pursed lip breathing, cyanosis, barrel chest, and productive cough.

When a person’s lips, nailbeds, skin tend to have a bluish tingle the person might be suffering from cyanosis. Poor supply of oxygen is cause of this.

When amount of inflammation and mucus causes the person’s airways to contract reducing the effectiveness of coughing. This is called productive cough.

The airflow through the lungs is limited, therefore it take more time for the lungs to exhale. The alveoli have lost it elasticity, and as a result of this forceful exhalation by the lungs are needed. This is done to reduce the exhalation time. Forceful exhaling increases the lung pressure and as a result in the structurally weakened airway can collapse. Pursed-lip breathing is the solution used by the body to prevent the lungs from collapsing. Pursed lips increases the time needed for exhalation taking place at the mouth level. Thus it helps prevent collapse of the lungs and helps forced exhalation, but only to an extent.

When the lungs expand it results in a barrel chest. As a result of this the diaphragm gets pushed down and loses its ability to efficiently contract. As a result of this the overall efficiency of the accessory breathing muscles is reduced. The muscles affected by this are the ones between the ribs as well as those in the neck and upper chest.

The common COPD symptoms are lower extremity edema, weight loss, hemoptysis, wheezing, chronic cough, and shortness of breath.

Other COPD symptoms include clubbing of fingers, fatigue, chest tightness, and increase in sputum production.
