Cool Your Home Naturally

Cool Your Home Naturally




 Space cooling and heating can account for up to 45% of your total home energy use every year, but there are numerous strategies you can employ to reduce cooling costs. Below are some cost-effective ways to cool your home:




  • Eenergy efficient bulbs
    • Switch to energy efficient bulbs. Regular light bulbs are not energy efficient and radiate a lot of excess heat.




  • Doors and windows
    • Close your doors, blinds, or curtains when the temperatures during daytime increase and open windows at night-time to let the cool air in when the temperatures drop. 





  • Indoor plants
    • Leafy plants can create a good ambience and help with temperature regulation. If you have some large decorative or potted plants around, move them closer to your windows. They will absorb most of the heat and create a cooling effect around them.

WORKING IN UAE AS A REGISTERED NURSE

 Working as a registered  in a government hospital here in UAE is financially enough, only until a certain limit of age. When you reach 55-60 years old, a nurse can be considered on the list of those who might be in "ENDO" (which means end of contract).

Yes, I guess moving to either UK or US before having ENDO is a great idea especially now that the inflation rate in Philippines is so overwhelming talking about the high gas prices and the shortage of sugar plus the threat of another pande...

Breast Cancer Awareness in October

Image
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. Over the years, it has gained prominence around the world and is a very relevant topic in almost anywhere with the disease being highly prevalent in most countries worldwide. Early Detection:  There is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects older women. Global studies have shown that women between the age of 20 and 34, with a strong family history of the disease are most susceptible to the disease. All women, regardless of family history, must conduct an annual mammogram, after reaching the age of 35. Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival, and if women can be educated to self-check, this will help increase awareness and ultimately save lives.   It is okay to talk about it:  Women with breast cancer find it inappropriate to discuss the disease with their communities because it is still deemed a taboo. It is imperative that we communicate with one...

What is Cancer? Cancer is a malignant neoplastic disorder that can involve all body organs with manifestations that vary according to the body system affected and type of tumor cells. Cells lose their normal growth-controlling mechanism, and the growth of cells is uncontrolled. Cancer produces serious health problems such as impaired immune and hematopoietic (blood-producing) function, altered gastrointestinal tract structure and function, motor and sensory deficits, and decresed respiratory function.  Metastasis Cancer cells move from their orginal location to other sites.  Routes of metastasis Local seeding: Distribution of shed cancer cells occurs in the local area of the primary tumor Blood-borne metastasis: Tunor cells enter the blood, which is the most common cause of cancer spread.  Lymphatic spread: Primarys sites rich in lymphatics are more susceptible to early metastatic spread Common sites of Metastasis Bladder Cancer Lung Bone Liver Pelvic, retroperitoneal str...
