Coronavirus: All You Need to Know About Its Symptoms and Risk

Coronavirus: All You Need to Know About Its Symptoms and Risk
By Shalini M

There is a spread of a novel coronavirus which is wreaking havoc on the city of Wuhan located in the Hubei province of China. The outbreak of the virus began early in December of 2019 and has continued to spread. The people who were the first ones to become infected were all linked to the South China Seafood Wholesale Market which has been closed ever since.

Thousands of cases have been reported by the health officials in China. There are also cases that have been identified in other countries, mostly spread by the people traveling out of China, including Chinese people or the people returning from China to their respective countries. The virus can spread from one person to another through contact or even just being in the proximity of the infected person.

Over 20 countries have reported cases, including Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, Vietnam, Australia, France, the United States, India, the UK, etc. and many other countries have set up screening centers for the people coming from China.

This is a large family of viruses that are collectively known as the coronavirus. Most of the known coronavirus symptoms only have simple effects on the people such as giving them a mild respiratory disease like the common cold, but there have been two such cases of the coronavirus that have shown massive effects on the infected which are Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) coronavirus and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus.

Symptoms:

Fever, coughing, and difficulty breathing are some of the signs and symptoms which have been observed in the people infected. Some of the patients have also reported having a sore throat. There's been some speculation about the severe disease-causing potential of the novel coronavirus although these claims are not supported with proper proof. People with chronic illnesses and aged patients might pose greater chances of having a severe disease as a result of this virus.

Risk

The people who are living or traveling around the area where the virus is prevalent are at a high risk of infection according to the WHO. Currently, the virus is only present in China and all of the non-residents of China who have been infected have traveled to China recently and have been in contact with the infected people who are from China.

So, according to WHO, the risk to the people who are not living in China is very low as long as you don't come into contact with one of the non-resident Chinese people who are infected. Also, the WHO states that simple disinfectants can easily dispose of the virus if it is present on a surface and also the survival time of the virus on any surface is pretty low.

Conclusion:

This article shares all of the symptoms to look out for if you think that you might be affected by the virus, but if you're a non-resident and have not been in contact with anyone traveling from China, you have no chance of catching the virus.

18-Wheeler Accidents

What Are the Differences Between Passenger Vehicle Accidents and 18-Wheeler Accidents?

What Are the Differences Between Passenger Vehicle Accidents and 18-Wheeler Accidents?
By Mike Grossman

While it is certainly true that damages in an 18-wheeler accident case are typically much larger than those in other auto accidents, the truth is that, from a legal standpoint, these cases are not similar. Litigating an 18-wheeler accident lawsuit is much more complex and technical than litigating a passenger car accident lawsuit, and you should not attempt to win this legal battle alone. Thankfully, there are many attorneys who specialize in 18-wheeler accident claims to help you understand what your options are and how to seek justice. When looking for a lawyer, shop around. Don't pick the first one you find in the phone book or internet search. Make sure the lawyer you choose has experience and more importantly success in dealing with 18-wheeler accident claims.

Commercial Insurance Adjusters

The commercial insurance policies protecting trucking companies and their drivers are typically worth fifty times more than a standard passenger vehicle policy. This means that there is a lot of money on the line for trucking companies and their insurance providers, and they will go to great lengths to avoid paying you. The commercial insurance adjusters employed by these insurance carriers are crafty. They know that most accident victims have no idea how complex a trucking accident can be from a legal standpoint. Insurance adjusters often approach accident victims shortly after they arrive at a hospital and begin bombarding them with questions about their accident. In most cases, they act friendly and cooperative, as if they just want to find out what happened so they can help you file your insurance claim.

Unfortunately, this could not be farther from the truth. These insurance adjusters have one goal: to deny your insurance claim. They have many ways of doing this, but the most straightforward is to get you to accidentally say something incriminating. They may ask you to describe your accident, and then they will paraphrase the situation back to you, as if to make sure they have understood what happened. However, in most cases, they have subtly altered what you said in particular ways, and once you agree to their summary of the events, you have likely accepted partial liability for your injuries. Talking to insurance adjusters without the help of an experienced lawyer can only damage your claim, and it is imperative that you seek legal representation as soon as possible so that your rights are protected. Our attorneys know every trick insurance adjusters have up their sleeve, and we can ensure that they do not damage your claim.

Filing a Lawsuit

Many 18-wheeler accident victims also make the mistake of assuming that they can frighten insurance companies into offering them a fair settlement if they threaten to file a lawsuit. However, the truth is that non-attorneys simply cannot win these lawsuits. Trucking companies have a team of defense lawyers on retainer, and these lawyers have shut down hundreds of lawsuits filed by accident victims. Trucking companies know that you stand no chance against this team of professionals, and so they will not be frightened by your attempts to sue at all. Do you know how to prove up damages? Submit a demand packet? Respond to a list of admissions? If not, you probably are not prepared to represent yourself in court.

Our Attorneys Are Here To Help You Seek Justice

Insurance companies may not be scared of a lawsuit filed by non-attorneys, but they are scared of lawsuits filed by us. 18-wheeler accident lawyer Michael Grossman from Grossman Law Offices has twenty years of experience helping 18-wheeler accident victims, and he has successfully litigated hundreds of 18-wheeler accident cases. He has settled high-profile claims, including several that resulted in multi-million dollar settlements. He is intimately familiar with truck accident law as established by both state regulations and the Federal Motor Safety Carriers Administration. He knows how insurance adjusters and truck accident defense lawyers operate, and he knows how to fight them. Insurance carriers and trucking companies know how successful our firm has been, and they often offer our clients large settlements so that they do not have to face our attorneys in court. In other words, we can help you get back on your feet quickly, and often without even going to court. Of course, we will fight aggressively in trial to defend your rights if it comes to that. No matter what it takes, our attorneys will help you seek the compensation you need. So if you or someone in your family has been injured in an 18-wheeler accident, contact Waco 18-wheeler accident attorney Michael Grossman today for a free consultation. Let the legal professionals at Grossman Law Offices help you seek the justice you deserve.

About Cord Blood

The Facts About Cord Blood Banking

The Facts About Cord Blood Banking
By Brenna Smithy

Parents are often opting these days to save their newborn's umbilical blood for the possibility the baby or a close family member might need it to treat a disease. Statistics available so far indicate only a one in 2700 chance the baby will need the cord blood and a one in 1400 chance other near family members may need it. However, this blood can be used for non-family members and is being used to treat diseases and save lives. It is less likely the blood will be a match for non-family members but many matches are made successfully.

Cord blood banking is the process of obtaining and storing a newborns umbilical blood. The umbilical cord is the cord that attaches from the babies belly button to the placenta in the mother's womb during pregnancy. The umbilical cord is the channel for provision of nutrients and oxygen to the growing fetus. Until recently the umbilical cord and the placenta were considered medical waste and simply disposed of after birth.

Stem cells, researchers discovered, could cure many diseases such as leukemia and help others such as brain injury and Alzheimer's. Umbilical cord blood is full of these precious stem cells. Cerebral palsy has been successfully treated with stem cells. As research continues it is believed even more uses for stem cells such as spinal cord repair will be discovers. Stem cell research is at the cutting edge of medicine and the possibilities for new healing modalities for diseases using stem cells are enormous.

Harvesting umbilical blood is totally painless to both mother and child. If you wish to donate your child's cord blood or harvest for private or public use you need to let your doctor and the bank of your choice know by the 34th week of pregnancy. The cord bank will send professionals to collect the blood from the umbilical cord after it is cut and the placenta has been delivered.

Approximately 80ml or the equivalent of 3 ounces of blood is collected. The blood needs to be collected within 10 to fifteen minutes of birth which is why arrangements must be made ahead of time. The collection of this blood does not interfere with the birth in any way. Donating to a public bank is free of charge.

After collection the cord blood is tested for any diseases. If any such diseases are discovered the family will be notified. The blood is then processed and slowly frozen to -196 degrees. The blood can be stored indefinitely so long as the temp is maintained. Cord banks have multiple back up sources of power to avoid any loss of this precious resource.

If you can afford to harvest and store your newborns cord blood by all means does so. Banking can give you peace of mind for the future health of your child. If you cannot afford to harvest and store your newborns cord blood considers donating it. It cost you nothing and is painless but may save someone's life. The cord and its blood are simply discarded if it is not harvested and will help no one. Who knows, maybe someone else's donated cord blood will help you or a family member one day.

Cord blood banking can be done privately or publicly. Public banks take donations or blood from any child whose parent decides to give that gift. Some parents cannot afford the price to store their child's cord blood but nonetheless decide to donate it to a bank so that others can be helped.

Private cord banks have an initial set up cost of 1500-2500 dollars and a yearly fee to store the blood of 100-150 dollars. Some public banks will agree to keep a portion of the blood for family use if the rest is made available for general public use. Research which cord blood bank you wish to use carefully and when you have decided give your baby or perhaps someone else the precious gift of life.

Covid19 time ? Online CNA Classes

Online CNA Classes - Advantages and Disadvantages

Online CNA Classes - Advantages and Disadvantages
By Subodh Maheshwari

A certified nursing aide is a direct patient care worker, who provides daily routine cares to long-term care patients with chronic illness, injuries and disabilities, and assist them with activities of daily livings (ADL) such as bathing, feeding, grooming, toileting, dressing, walking and more. CNAs gain necessary acumen and skills to serve the residents through the state-approved Nurse Aide Training Program. The training program is specifically developed by the different state's health departments in order to train nurse aides in direct patient care. The OBRA-87 legislation also mandates nurse aides to complete a CNA training program, and pass the competency examination to be eligible to work in approved, and licensed facilities.

The nursing students can complete their CNA training programs in different ways. They can enroll in a technical institute, vocational school, community college, trade school, long-term care facility, American Red Cross Class, or Online CNA Classes for their nursing assistant education. Although, both online and regular CNA classes are appropriate for nursing education, there are still certain differences between the traditional and online classes.

Regular classes Vs Online Classes

  1. Regular CNA programs are campus based schools and colleges. The theoretical instructions and clinical hands-on experience are provided through the classrooms and long-term care facilities respectively. The classes are run at a fixed- time schedule, day, evening or night, and at a permanent location. The ratio of students and teachers are fixed for both the classroom education and clinical training. The physical presence of the instructors and students throughout the training period allow face-to-face discourse and interaction with each other.

  2. Online CNA Classes are internet based training programs and conducted online through a computer with a Broad Band connection. There is no fixed-time schedule for attending the classes. The classes are open 24 x 7 days. The students from any part of the world can attend the training programs at their free leisurely hours, any time, day or night. The students and teachers ratio are also not fixed, and there is also no location problem because any number of students from any corner of the world can attend online classes through a computer.

Although, both Regular and online classes are popular among the nursing students, the attraction toward online classes is increasing day-by-day. The basic reasons for the wider acceptance of online nursing assistant classes among the student population can be summed up as follows:

  1. The flexible time schedules of online classes are most ideal for working professionals, people with a tight work schedule or family commitments because they can attend online classes at their free hours, without disturbing their busy schedules.
  2. The students staying in faraway and distant places, and not able to attend campus based programs due to distance and location problems can easily attend internet CNA education through a computer.
  3. The course curriculum of both regular and online nurse aide classes is same.
  4. Internet classes are open 24 x 7 x 365 days. Nursing students just have to browse the training provider's online site anytime, day or night to attend the classes.
  5. Online instructions are provided through notes, videos, images and assignments.

Online CNA Classes Disadvantages

Online CNA Classes are also, not without any cons. There are also certain disadvantages of Internet classes including the students lack physical interactions with their teachers, and they are not aware of online lectures and instructions quality. Majority internet classes do not provide clinical training arrangements. The students will have to arrange clinical hands-on experience on their own in a local hospital, or long-term care facility. Many states do not approve and recognize online nursing classes, and only certify these graduating students with a certification who successfully complete their trainings through approved schools and colleges. Many online training providers are fake and enrolling and attending these phony classes may waste your training costs and valuable time.

The only solution for overcoming these shortcomings is to verify online classes, find out their accreditation and credential, lectures quality, and clinical training arrangements. Applicants can read different online CNA classes reviews on Internet fir its authentication and discuss the quality of the classes on online forums. They can also find out about these classes through the past nursing assistant students who may have completed online CNA classes.

Elective Courses at College ?????

Tips on Choosing Elective Courses at College

Tips on Choosing Elective Courses at College
By Tiffany Provost

When you are choosing courses in college, focus on those that are pertinent to your major and which also test your abilities to learn and grow. When you apply for your major in college, most of your courses are already preselected, but you can choose a couple of electives. Consider these tips about elective courses so that you'll choose ones that will serve you best.

Select the courses that fit with your profession. It is a good idea to choose elective courses that closely tie into your chosen profession. Potential employers will appreciate every bit of extra training and knowledge that they don't have to give you. Select elective courses in chemistry, biology or even physics if you are doing a science major.

For business courses, select electives in accounting, business admin and even computing courses, as you'll never know when these will come in handy in the corporate world.

If you're majoring in kinesiology, then it would be a good idea to choose health and fitness-related electives. It is common sense to pick electives that will benefit you in your job search after graduation.

Choose an education that is inclusive of many fields of study. If you are pretty full up on career related courses, you may prefer and enjoy electives that are unrelated to your major.

Some students who are unable to find a job take a few 'back up' courses, due to the fact that they can not find a job related to their current major. This is also a good decision. In the opinion of some employers you will have a broader 'usability' if you choose a well-rounded education. If you have courses in science along with your business degree, you could possible win a job over someone who majored purely in business with no outside electives. Does psychology interests you, or how about astronomy? Creative electives like these could give you the edge in a competitive marketplace. Any skills (basic or otherwise) are valued by employers, and it could give you a nice rest from the monotony of the similar courses necessary for your major.

Select a challenging elective course. Part of education is to learn how to learn, and elective courses should help with this goal. You may not memorize all the information from each class but you will get a better understanding of the world. Pick electives courses that challenge your belief system and make you look at the world in a different way. Look into another culture. Consider a philosophy elective if you've been told that you are a little narrow-minded. How about languages? Aim to challenge and develop your thinking skills, and you will really gain benefit from the course.

When choosing electives in college, aim for those that help with your career, your personal interests outside of your career, or your general personal development.

An accredited online degree is a college degree that is received through Internet studies offered by an accredited college. This means that the school or university that is offering the degree has been approved by a national or state board of education.

In order to offer an accredited online degree a college must offer its course work and lesson requirements to the board of education for approval. The board will then go through that course work and make sure that it adheres to the industry standards for completion.

Online degrees can come in many forms. You can earn an associate's degree, bachelors or masters degree or even a course completion certification diploma.

To earn a masters accredited degree online, you must first possess a bachelors degree from a regular or online college.

To earn a bachelors accredited online degree, you need to have at least a high school diploma or G.E.D.

With both degrees, you can shorten the amount of time it takes to complete by having prior college credits or related work experience.

How to Get Your Bachelors Degree Online

Getting a bachelors degree online can be a fast and easy way to further your career. But before you enroll, there are a few important things you need to know.

First, you'll want to make sure that the college that offers the online degree is accredited. School and universities are accredited on a state or national level. This accreditation means that a board of education has researched and approved the schools curriculum and course work.

Without previous college credits, most bachelors degree online programs take up to three years to complete. This time frame is based on an individual that takes at least twenty hours of course work a week. With prior college credits, or by spending more time on course work each week, some individuals can complete their bachelors degree online program in as little as one year.

To decide which college or university to enroll with, it is best to decide what type of degree program you need. Many colleges offer these programs but some specialize in different fields. For example, a person who wants a bachelors degree in business night want to go with Ashworth College, while a person that wants an education degree would want to go with Penn State University.

Once you have chosen a bachelors degree online program, you need to research its class schedule. Many online programs allow you to download the course work and complete it on your own schedule, but some programs require that you log on to the Internet for virtual class sessions a few times a week at a designated time.

How to Receive Donations????

How to Receive Donations Through Your Non Profit Web Site

How to Receive Donations Through Your Non Profit Web Site
By Thomas M Johanson

A Nonprofit Organization (NPO) could be any charitable or social institution whose revenues are used only for administrative purposes and for execution of expansion plans. They spend a significant chunk of the donations they receive on the betterment of the society through various social causes. An NPO or a charity keeps receiving recurring donations from generous donors in addition to the donations from the new names that keep adding to their list of donors every now and then.

Since most non profit organizations run on donations in cash and kind, it is essential that a website for a non profit organization is designed in such a way that donors can use it to make any kind of donations. Listed in this article, are a few tips to efficiently managing donations through your non profit web site.

Embedding a donation module

Many people regularly contribute for a charity and most of these contributions are in the form of cash. Most charities handle monetary donations through cash or checks. A non profit web site should have a donation module that enables donors to make monetary donations online without any hassles. With sites like PayPal, handling monetary transactions becomes quite easy. The entire process is quick and the deposits as well as the withdrawals are done in a few seconds. However, PayPal charges a small transaction fee for the services offered. Another way to receive donations is by taking help from a secured payment gateway. A payment gateway could be a service provided by any vendor or a bank through which donors can process secured payments by way of internet banking or credit or debit card donations. The fees for a payment gateway can be lesser than PayPal's, however, the payment gateway might restrict your transactions to a single currency. If your donations come in from various countries, they you can use a payment gateway for local donations and use PayPal for international donations.

Security

The donation module needs to be very secure. The donors must feel no hesitation when they try to process a donation through your website. Use of a reputed payment gateway or PayPal is the best way to handle such transactions as most donors are aware of payment gateways and PayPal and hence they will be comfortable entering their secured credentials. You also need to ensure that after a donation is processed, a receipt should be immediately emailed to the donor. If there are any tax exemptions that the donor is eligible for, then the relevant certificates should be e-mailed or mailed to the donor. If the tax saving certificates have to be sent by courier or mail, then the address of the donor should be captured while he/she is making a donation.

Recurring donations

Your website should offer flexibility to the donors. There can be a login module in your website where donors can create their accounts and keep track of their past donations. Through services like PayPal, you can also enable your users to set up a recurring donation. Even sites like Wikipedia use this approach to get donations every month. If the donor has an account, he/she can keep track of the donations made till date and if online tax certificates are available, then these should be linked to the donations made by the users. Your non profit web site should also have a guest account through which anonymous donors or those who don't wish to create an account can donate. Donating a certain amount must not require a user to create an account. There should be a simple form that captures required details of the donor before proceeding to the payment gateway. Donors can be also asked to subscribe to monthly newsletters and this helps you maintain a frequent communication with your donors.

Finally, if people wish to contribute in kind, then your website should provide a form to capture details of such donors. Your administrators can then get in touch with these prospective donors over email or telephone and ask for more details. To establish good will, you can also display details of your expenditure and incoming donations, to present a clear and transparent picture to the donors about how your NPO functions. Thus, while designing your non profit web site, you should ensure that you set up a secure and easy donation module for the donors.
