I have a couple of subscribers to my regular eczema newsletter writing to me about Cupping therapy. Their Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners have advised them to try out Cupping therapy for eczema as part of their holistic treatment. While it is too early to report if the therapy has helped them, I proceeded to find out more about this practically unknown (at least to most of us) form of treatment.

Cupping therapy is an ancient form of Chinese healing, just like acupuncture is. It is the art of using plastic or glass cups with suction balls at the end placed against your skin so as to create vacuum. The vacuum causes local congestion, sucks up your skin and opens the meridians of your body. According to TCM, meridians are the channels from which energy enters and flows. Diseases and illnesses happen with the meridian channels are blocked. Opening up the channels can help speed recovery and bring about healing.

Cupping therapy apparently has many benefits for the skin. It activates your skin tissues and causes them to release toxins. This detoxification therapy can also improve the condition of your varicose veins as it clears instances of blood clotting in the arteries, capillaries, and veins. Most importantly, cupping therapy is believed to stimulate your lymphatic system - the very system that produces antibodies to help fight off diseases.

With these said, cupping therapy proves to be another alternative method for treating eczema, as well as other skin problems like boils. Much of this is because of the therapy’s ability to clear the skin of pathogens - the same ones that trigger an eczema flare-up. Cupping therapy also improves blood circulation and enhances its purification. Since some theories say that certain types of eczema are caused by blood circulatory problems, Cupping therapy may just be the answer to an eczema cure.

During the therapy process, the plastic or glass cups are placed on certain points of your body. The points for eczema are specifically located near your navel, just below the kneecap, at the upper tip of the spinal cord, and right above the ankle. When the plastic or glass cups used in therapy are applied in these areas, you would feel calm and relaxed. In fact, this is what you would expect to experience from the cupping therapy. You may find yourself falling asleep during the session and waking up to feeling more refreshed and energized.

Cupping therapy, as an alternative eczema treatment, is definitely worth trying; since there is no cure by conventional medicine for eczema. In fact, what doctors can do for you right now are different ways to minimize the discomfort that your eczema condition brings. Other than that, there are no guarantees that total healing would happen. You would find that you get eczema outbreaks time and time again. Hence, it would appear that combining the good effects of alternative remedies with modern science may just be the best route to take if you want to cure yourself from eczema.

There you are, Saturday afternoon, gently bubbling along on your way to your favourite watering hole when the cry is suddenly heard, “Look out…here comes another one…my God, look at that wake!”

Momentary panic ensues for the fifth time in twenty minutes as all aboard spring to ‘action stations’ yet again. Drinks grabbed, sandwiches stowed, kids lashed to Mother and the feeling of impending fear as another forty-foot gleaming power-boat roars down the waterway towards you. In a welter of boiling foam and diesel fumes, the Gin-palace roars past whilst the revelers cast barely a glance behind at the havoc they have caused.

Moments later, all hell breaks loose as a metre high wake crashes into your craft, scattering objects and breakables in all directions. Then, just as the kids are calmed, dishes collected and tempers are cooling, up goes the cry … “Oh no! Not again!”… I for one, have completely had enough of being tipped all over the place by these irresponsible self-centred souls and I should imagine, so have quite a few others out there. They obviously don’t realise how many people are busy cooking food and boiling kettles whilst moored up during the day.

What the hell can we do about it?
At the time, it seems, precious little. However, the law is firmly in place to attempt to minimise this kind of behaviour. Firstly, get the boat name, make and registration number. If you can only get the name, it’s possible to trace the craft with the relevant authorities later (Department of Boating and Fisheries, Water Police or the Department of Transport).

Lurking behind a paper mountain, if we care to search hard enough for it, is “The Marine Safety Act and Regulations 1995″ and it is there (along with many other regulations) to help keep out waterways safe and free from these kind of incidents.

Who can enforce the act?
The Water Police, Department of Boating and Fisheries and Department of Transport do have craft patrolling most frequented areas. Though, naturally enough, they cannot be everywhere at once, so it is up to us, the innocent recipients of those unsafe and dangerous individuals who threaten our safety, to take a few steps of our own.

Here comes that wake!
Should you suffer a ‘waking’ problem of serious proportions don’t just accept it as the norm. Apart from risk of personal, physical injury from falling objects, slipping and so on, there is a graver risk of your craft, even if it is fairly large, of overturning or being completely swamped. Boats were never designed to cope with the sudden huge impact of a thunderous rolling wash and severe strains and damage can be placed on masts, rigging and so on. It is especially dangerous at night as a couple of fishermen, in their Tinny are really vulnerable and if upset, could easily be swept away to drown. Their small single light, low to the water, can easily be missed in the glare of a huge power boat’s instrument panel or easily mistaken for a shore light or distant beacon.

This is the age of the mobile phone, so why not carry the number of the local branch of the Water Police or Department of Boating and Fisheries with you. It’s probably a good idea to have their number on hand anyway. So, you don’t have a phone? What about VHF? Call the offender direct. Try telling him about the damage he’s caused and the offending wash he’s leaving behind him. Better still, tell him how you’ve got his boat name and registration number and just what a great delight it will be to sue the pants off him with the aid of the number of witnesses you have to verify his unsociable behaviour. In fact, should you be amongst a number of moored craft that all suffer a similar ‘waking’ problem, why not get together and bear witness for each other?

Why not give a warning call to the world in general on a suitable frequency to warn others up ahead. Give the area, boat, colour, with any luck, they may be running straight towards a Police Boat anyway.

Where do you stand with the law?
Although I don’t profess to be any kind of legal expert in these matters there is in place, as previously mentioned, “The Marine Safety Act and Regulations, 1995″ which is in place specifically to prevent these acts of hooliganism on our waters. A spokesman from the Department of Boating and Fisheries in our local area (Gold Coast, Queensland) confirmed (along with the local Water Police Department) that offences are unfortunately on the increase Australia-Wide, according to statistics.

The spokesman pointed out that the act provides for two separate parts of the act to work in parallel:

1.-Penalties for infringement of Speed Limits.
2.-Sections of legislation to be proven in Law with regard to incidents of damage and/or injury for excessive wash damage to persons and property.

“It’s possible for civil and criminal charges to be run together,” he said. In other words, you can sue the offender whilst the Department of Boating and Fisheries or the Water Police press charges at the same time for the same or similar offences. It’s a fair bet that your case will be looked on favourably if the relevant Department is also taking action.

However, in order to do so under the law the case must be proven. So, therefore, witnesses must come forth and statements made. It seems a bit un-Australian to do these things but why the hell should we suffer the actions of just a few irresponsible individuals who couldn’t give a damn anyway? It’s just a big laugh for some of those galoots.

I urge small boat owners to stick together, discuss it at your club or at the local Marina. Spread the word, this behaviour isn’t tolerated on the road so why should it be on the water? If successfully prosecuted an offender can be fined a whopping great 200 penalty units (equivalent to $65 per unit).

Waterborne Mosquitoes!
Jet Skis, I’m talking about! Personal Watercraft if you like! The waterborne equivalent of the trail bike. Yes, a great invention, a source of amusement and joy to usually one person… the rider! And they are generally so engrossed with their bit of fun they fail to realise that anyone else is being bothered or endangered. Did you realise that if you are buzzed at speed by a Jet Ski that the owner commits an offence?… and I quote, Section 95 (2) of “The Marine Safety Act and Regulations 1995″

“Also, a person must not operate a personal watercraft at a speed of more than 6 knots in waters within 30m of a person in the waters - Maximum Penalty - 200 penalty units”
So, be warned! That’s a hundred feet in old language… keep away from everyone else if you want to show your prowess!

Alcohol and the Water User
A spokesman for the Water Police also confirmed drunken driving on the water is on the increase due to “an increase in boat numbers on the water” in the last five years. Offenders can be arrested, tested and subject to an on-the-spot fine of $120.00. Serious cases can be escorted to a place of holding, on or off the water and subject to all the indignities that drunken driving awaits them. “We treat drunks on the water the same way as we do on the roads.” Once again, be warned!

I must say that one of my greatest pleasures is to see people out enjoying themselves on the many and varied waterways that we have here in Australia. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realise that it is only the idiot minority that are specified. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, it’s on the increase and is an ever present problem that is worse in some areas, notably the more popular and busy waterways, adjacent to the more populated areas of the country.

The aim of this article is to try to impress on a few folks around the country that they don’t have to put up with mindless actions of a couple of twerps in a tinny roaring up and down the canals, or, having to batten down the hatches every time a giant Gin-Palace appears on the horizon in a cloud of spray. Let’s keep our waterways safe, they are unique and pleasurable and available to all and sundry… let’s try and keep them that way!

Here are the relevant sections of the “The Marine Safety Act and Regulations 1995″ that apply on the water, cut them out and keep them… They apply to you and I and be aware of the implications. Don’t forget, you have a duty of care to all your fellow boaters, myself included!

The following rules and regulations from The Marine Safety Acts and Regulations Act 1995 (if applicable in NZ) can be used as a breakout box

Speed limit for ship operating near person in water etc:

Maximum Penalty - 200 penalty units.

(4)-The chief executive may erect or mark, at a place in waters for which a speed limit is fixed under subsection (1) or adjacent to the waters, a sign (a “speed sign”) stating the speed limit for the waters.
(5)-A speed sign may be an official traffic sign except that the speed indicated by the number on the sign is the speed in knots.
(6)-This section does not prevent a regulation making provision about speed limits.
(7)-If there is an inconsistency between a regulation and a gazette notice, the regulation prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and the amount you owe on it. For most homeowners their home is their biggest asset and it usually represents a treasure trove of cash. In 2005 the value of home equity across the US was $11.3 trillion. The percentage of home ownership in 2005 was 69% down slightly from the record 69.2 % in 2004. Almost 124 million Americans own their own home.

When it comes to borrowing money using your home as collateral (home equity) there are basically only two ways to go aside from a reverse mortgage: a Home Equity Loan Line of Credit (HELOC) or a second mortgage. Which one is best for you?

Second Mortgage Home Equity Loan The second mortgage takes the guess work out of how much your payment will be every month-for many a huge factor.

–Cash disbursed up front

–Proceeds are fixed

–Fixed term

–Fixed monthly payments

–Fixed Interest rate

Home Equity Loan Line of Credit Can be used as needed but has several unknowns which can be risky, e.g., how much will my payment be next month?

–Cash disbursed on demand

–Proceeds are variable-like a revolving line of credit

–Variable Interest rate

–Variable monthly payments

–Fixed term

Both loans are secured by second mortgages on the property. The terms of these loans can range from five to twenty years. They are almost always shorter than a first mortgage loan.

The differences on paper seem minimal. The biggest is the interest rate which makes the second mortgage loan more stable, reliable, and preferable over the HELOC especially in a dynamic market.

If you are in the market to borrow money against the equity in your home:

1.-Do your homework. Research and study what you are doing.

2.-Find the right lender. More research and study.

3.-Negotiate fees and points. Pit one lender against the other for your business.

4.-Get a second mortgage loan instead of a HELOC.

Remember there is a lot at stake. Don’t press the “EASY” button.

The statistics are in and crime is on the rise-what a surprise!

Property crime occurs every 3 seconds, a home burglary every 15 seconds.

Now there is a new threat “Home Invasion”. “Home Invasion” is a term police use when a suspect enters a home with or without force and confronts the occupants to commit a robbery and or other crimes such as assault, rape, torture or even murder.

“Home Invasion” is particularly troubling because of the potential trauma it inflicts on the occupants, parents and especially small children and the potential threat of assault, rape, torture or even murder.

To me it seems like “home invasion” is much more intimidating than a regular burglary. It is one thing to have your home burglarized when you are not there. That is bad enough. But to have someone invade your home while you are there brandishing a knife or gun brings the violation up a notch to a whole new level.

It is my sincere hope that none of my readers/customers ever have to go thru the trauma of a home invasion or burglary.

Forewarned is forearmed or something like that. Take these steps to help prepare for what is almost inevitable.

1. MAKE YOUR HOME YOUR CASTLE Secure it the best you can. Do the obvious things doors, windows, etc. Eliminate hiding places. Install some door and window alarms. And while you’re at it check to see if the “Castle Doctrine” applies in your area.

2. “GET SMART and GET A PLAN” Home Invaders can be thwarted if you and your family have a plan and have practiced what to do in case of an intrusion. That plan must assuredly involve some non lethal self defense weapons such as stun guns, tasers, pepper sprays, stun batons, etc. located throughout the house.

3. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE Practice what to do in the event of an emergency and practice how to use your non lethal self defense weapons. Nothing beats having a split second response in an emergency.

4. HAVE A FAIL SAFE WAY TO GET 911 Land lines, cell phones, smoke signals-some way to get help that will work no matter what.

If you follow these tips not only will you be prepared but the worry factor will diminish.

Believe it or not, when it comes to affordable and non-lethal self defense weapons, pepper spray is right up there at the top of list because of two main reasons: ease of use and effectiveness. Though, almost every pepper spray is created equally, some are better than others (mainly due to their OC concentration). Chemically and technically, the OC concentration is Oleoresin Capsicum concentration. A good pepper spray contains a low percentage concentration of OC, say 10% or even less.

Male or female, children or adults, stronger or weaker-anybody can use pepper spray for self defense a variety of situations. For example, women and girls who have always been vulnerable to attacks can now feel safer by carrying a pepper spray.

Pepper Spray is a lachrymatory agent that can be easily used in case of riot and personal self-defense. It is a powerful, handy and non-lethal sel defense weapon that can be utilized in rarest of cases. The lachrymatory agent present in pepper spray is actually a compound that irritates the eyes to an extent to cause tears and pain. It may cause temporary blindness in many cases.

Pepper sprays are available in a wide variety and styles to choose from to fit any individual’s needs. After you’ve decide that pepper spray is your choice for a non-lethal self defense weapon there are many choices to choose from depending upon their sizes, colors, canister sizes, disguises, and spray types. Generally regular spray shoots a stream out to 8-10 feet, but if you need a higher range a new gel spray (peppergel) is available with increased range up to 18 feet.

Whether you are a man or woman, strong or weak, expert or novice, a pepper spray can prove to be your best friend. It is one of the best self defense tools on the market today. It can easily ward off the attack of an assailant allowing you enough time to escape or detain your assailant.

Please Note that even though pepper spray is legal in all 50 states, some states and cities have restrictions. Check with your local police department. Literally thousands of police departments carry and use pepper spray. Why wouldn’t you?

Here are two exercises that, when combined, make for a great abs work out. These exercises were found by a study at San Diego State University to be very effective in developing both your abdominal muscles, and your obliques. And all that is required is an exercise ball. So lets get started.

The first exercise is called the bicycle maneuver. To do it, simply lie on your back and put your hands behind your head like you were doing a crunch. Now bring up your knees and begin to do a pedaling motion, as if you were on a bicycle (hence the name of the exercise). Your legs should take turns being bent and extended. When your right leg is bent, raise your body up and touch it with your left elbow. When your left leg is bent, raise your body up and touch it with your right elbow. Such keep alternating these for about 15 reps. Now on to the second part of the abs work out.

This part of the abs work out requires the exercise ball. Sit on the ball and lean back until you are parallel with the floor. Remember to keep your feet on the ground. Now just do crunches like you normally would. Your body should be at no more than a 45 degree angle. To make the exercise harder, move your feet closer together. This makes the exercise less stable and really works on your obliques. Like the above part of the abs work out, do about 15 reps.

So there you have two great exercises to include in your abs work out. But remember, these two exercises are just a couple among many exercises proven to build your abs. To find out more exercises, as well as nutrition and lifestyle information that is critical to your success, visit Abs Work Out. Good luck!

Patience is a good ingredient when it comes to getting your internet website noticed. A good amount of people out there believe that in the instant of building a website, a large flow of people will know its existence and look at it. What they do not know is the fact that millions of websites exist on the internet and a growing number of them are created every day. So is there any secret of getting your internet website noticed faster?

If you have the money, paid advertising is one of the most efficient ways to get your online website noticed quickly. All you are doing is paying for a spot towards the top of a search engine or a spot on someone’s website. It may cost you a lot of money to get a higher spot, however the reward will most probably surpass the initial cost.

Finding high traffic websites to advertise on can help you get your online business noticed as well. The thing with advertising on a high traffic website is that there are thousands of people that will see your advertisement a day. Certainly not everybody will click on your ad, or even half of them because it is there. but even if a very few percent of people click on your ad, let’s say 5%, that is a significant amount of traffic that you will receive for your website.

Email, direct emails and bulk emails can be effective in getting your online website noticed as well. The key factor to this method is doing something to make your email stand out. Every day people are flooded with spam and email that is a waste of their time. If you can come up with a way to grab the reader’s attention right from the subject line, you will have already surpassed a number of your competitors.

Similar to paid advertising is Google adwords. Google adwords are seen by thousands of people every day and if you can come up with a creative ad campaign, your online business will catch the reader’s eye and gain exposure. With Google adwords, every click you get is costing you money, so make sure that your ad is worth the investment.

If you can’t afford buying Google adwords, you can reach the top of search engines with no money as well, however you will need to much more patient. By using keyword optimization throughout your online website and in all of the articles you write and submit, you can climb up on the search engines for those specific keywords.

The idea is to get your website displayed on first page for a targeted keyword on the the major search engines, which can be really tough. In order to increase your chance, target for smaller and less popular keywords as contrast to very popular keywords. For instance, instead of targeting work at home. maybe go for legit work at home, work at home online or best work at home business.

While it is extremely difficult to get your online website noticed quickly, you can better your chances by combining all of the methods listed above. The more methods you are using and promoting your website, the more places your website will be seen by a large number of people. As long as you are patient about the process, your online business will eventually become noticed through the crowd of millions of websites.

Miniature collectibles can be a great hobby to take up. Many people enjoy having a doll house that they carefully design to look like a home, with pieces set just so and colors blending just right. Miniature dollhouses can be veritable masterpieces. If you’re creative, you can take up crafting miniature furniture or sculptures yourself. For many people, though, the search for beautiful pieces from skilled artisans is something very appealing and makes your new hobby a serious one. If you’re looking to get into miniature collectibles and doll house design, here are some tips to get you started.

Determining what you want to accomplish is the first step in collecting miniature doll house accessories. If you already have some pieces, you may want to think about using them as a base from which to build your collection. Are these pieces similar in style? Do they come from the same time period? Will they fit well within the same collection? You will also need to consider how big you want your display to be before you begin. This will help you set some goals as to how many pieces you need and whether or not you want to set up a simple room box or a more elaborate miniature doll house.

If you’re going to attempt crafting and constructing your own miniatures, you’ll now be more prepared to build the ones that will fit best in your display. If you don’t want to build your own furniture or feel you don’t have the skills, the questions above can be a good checklist for you when you’re out shopping for new additions or contemplating buying some pieces at a craft fair.

One important lesson that you need to learn before you begin shopping for your miniature collectibles concerns scale. Miniatures are constructed using a sizing scale. This scale ensures that the figures within the room box or miniature doll house are correctly proportioned. As an example, 1:12 scale means that 1 inch in your miniature display is equivalent to 12 inches in reality. This is the most popular scale used in miniatures, although you may also see some built to 1:24 scale and even some in such fine details as can be presented in 1:144. Though most toy doll houses are not made to scale, any piece that would be worthy of collection will be precisely made to scale. You need to make sure that all of the pieces within your display are to the same scale in order to preserve the integrity of your dollhouse and miniatures.

As with any hobby, miniature collectibles cover a wide range of values. It is a very good idea to determine a budget for your collection before you begin. You may choose to spend your money on just a few high quality pieces and to build you miniature collection slowly. Others will choose to buy less expensive pieces, but more of them and thus build their collection quickly. How you choose to build your collection is entirely up to you.
