Sorry, I don’t want to be such a spoilsports and dampen your holiday spirit. But studies have shown that a lot of accidents happens at certain time of the year, especially around the 4th of July in the US and during the holiday season. Here are the reasons why
Alcohol
Drinking alcohol is all part of the New Year’s celebrations. And we all know that drinking and driving do not mix. According to Dr. Thomas J. Esposito, a trauma surgeon at Loyola University Health System in Maywood, Ill., as interviewed by the New York Times:
However, it is not only the drivers who should pay attention to their blood alcohol levels. The NYT report continues to point out that pedestrians should take care as well. In fact, a study have shown that
The NYT report gives the following safety advice to inebriated pedestrians on New Year’s Day:
- Stay and drink in one place. Avoid moving from one place to another.
- Call a cab or get a ride with a “sober” driver.
- Walk with a “sober” buddy.
- Walk in a large group.
- Wear lightly colored clothes to make you visible to drivers. Reflectors are especially useful.
Weather
If you are celebrating in the northern hemisphere, you know how the weather is at this time of the year. Even a sober driver can have problems with icy streets and snowstorms. For pedestrians, icy streets are fall hazards. Combined with alcohol, it can be fatal.
Now, if you are celebrating in the tropics or in the southern hemisphere, you have to deal with other climate hazards. In Australia, barbecue parties are very popular during the holidays but the risk of bush fires is rather high at this time of the year.
In addition, alcohol and heat can be a fatal combination that lead to drowning, heatstroke, as well medical conditions such as cardiovascular events.
Food
We eat more than we are supposed to at this time of the year. It is only expected that some adverse effects can come with it.
We’ve tackled this topic many times on this site so I don’t want to say much more. Too much fat, too much calories, and too much sugar can wreak havoc with our body. However, aside from these usual culprits, foodborne outbreaks caused by such nasty bugs like Salmonella and Campylobacter have been reported during celebrations with severe and sometimes fatal consequences.
In addition, a high incidence of food allergies also needs to be reckoned with at this time of the year.
Fireworks
In many countries, fireworks are part of the New Year’s celebrations. However, fireworks can be very dangerous if not handled correctly. Injuries due to fireworks are widely reported the world over, with the highest in the age group 5 to 14 years of age in India. Injuries were serious, even fatal. In the US, a study released in 2006 reported the following:
“An estimated 85800 pediatric fireworks-related injuries were treated in US emergency departments during the 14-year study period. Injured children had a mean age of 10.8 years, and 77.9% were male. Fireworks users accounted for 49.5% of the injuries, whereas 22.2% of the injuries were to bystanders; however, user status could not be determined in 28.3% of cases. The overall fireworks-related injury rate decreased significantly during the study period, but subgroup analysis did not indicate consistent declines among all ages and types of fireworks. Injuries were most commonly caused by firecrackers (29.6%), sparklers/novelty devices (20.5%), and aerial devices (17.6%). The most commonly injured body sites were the eyeball (20.8%), face (20.0%), and hands (19.8%), and the most common injury type was burns (60.3%). Approximately 91.6% of all children with fireworks-related injuries were treated and released from hospital emergency departments, 5.3% were admitted, and 2.3% were transferred to another institution. Bystanders accounted for 13.3% of admitted cases and 20.6% of transferred cases.”

Alzheimer’s Disease and Symptoms
June 10, 2020 by tangy123
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS
Alzheimers disease has become very popular among a number of patients in the countries like the US, especially, in the older patients. The patients suffering with the disease face significant complications in thinking, understanding and communicating. A disease leads to a severe damage in the brain and memory. The sickness leads to negative affects in a person’s normal family life, social gathering and a normal individuality. The disease shows a slow progress inside the brain resulting in a severe grievance in the memory. It creates a disturbance in almost all those works which are been derived by the brain. Many times, the sickness takes years to increase. This mental illness can occur due to an injury inside the brain, an existence cancerous cells or tumors, hypertension or high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary artery disease or an increasing level of cholesterol in the blood. Medical experts say that the person, who has a less grade of education, can also develop this disease.
The illness begins with a simple kind of confusion and memory loss, which later develops a significant difficulty in the learning, assuming and imaging process inside the brain. Memory loss is one of the most imperative Alzheimers symptoms. The person who suffers with the illness can forget even recent conversations and appointments. He/she can forget or misplace important things, can forget names and they can even keep things in wrong places. They can also have problems related to alphabets and numbers. The patient will also face difficulty in searching correct words, sentences, time and dates. They can even be uncomfortable in some certain situations and even inside his/her own family or friends. The disease can also lead to extreme anxiety, aggressiveness, social departure, increase in stubbornness and severe mood swings. These kinds of people loss their conviction. The patient will also face problems in everyday works like cooking and those works, which need a proper preparation.
Usually, the physical expert diagnosis the sickness through the patient’s current health and mental status and the earlier period of his illness. These conditions help the doctors to have a go for a correct treatment. In this judgment the doctors check how much the patient is facing problem in daily work, if the patient has a History of any mental disorder, his memory, employment standing and his/her reactions in some significant situations. The doctors also check if the patient is taking any kind of medications or drugs. The other tests include a mini-mental state exam like for example his counting skills, skills of solving problems and most importantly, the patient’s skills of concentration.
In a treatment process of Alzheimer, the medical experts suggest medications including some therapeutic methods for the treatment. Currently, the US Food and Drug Association or FDA has approved two categories of medications in the treatment of the disease. These medications are named as partial glutamate antagonists and cholinesterase inhibitors. These medications do not give a complete cure but can provide a relief to the disorder to certain extend. The medications named as Cholinesterase inhibitors or ChEIs like the rivastigmine or Exelon, donepezil hydrochloride or Aricept, rivastigmine or Exelon, and tacrine or Cognex. These medications are been approved by the Food and Drug Association or FDA. The medical studies say that the patient sufferings with the sickness have a significant lack in the chemical neurotransmitters inside the brain, which is known as acetylcholine. It is a very important element inside the brain, which leads in the configuration of new memories. The medications CHEIS helps to reproduce the acetylcholine elements produce and improve new memories. The other medications partial glutamate antagonists help to maintain the level of glutamate inside the brain.
Medical experts say that Glutamate is a very important excitatory neurotransmitter inside the brain and an extra production of these elements can lead to negative affects inside the brain. There are also some other kind treatments, which are known as non-medication based treatments. These methods of treatment help to maximize the patient’s involvement and improvement in the events and other works of the society. Like for example providing guidance to the patient’s standing, sitting, walking and talking methods. The other process is known as Cognitive rehabilitation, where the medical experts suggest the patient to apply computer programs and train the memory. Some other medications include trazodone or Dessyrel, antipsychotics, anxiolytics and mood-stabilizing anticonvulsants. Some of the atypical antipsychotic agents like risperidone or Rispeerdal, olanzapine or Zyprexa or Zydis, Geodon or Ziprasisone etc. The patients who are suffering with anxiety or depression are suggested to have an intake of fluoxetine, citalopram, setraline or Zoloft etc. These medications are known as serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The patients who are suffering with insomnia due to Alzheimer are generally advised to have an intake of trazodone or Desyrel. Physical experts also suggest the patients to adopt measures to improve the sleep process and reduce the intake of nighttime medications.
How My Skin Condition Devastated Me – Part II
June 10, 2020 by Johnny Palmer
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS
This is the second in a series of articles by Johnny Palmer of AbsRightNow.com. He talks about how his skin condition turned his life into bouts of depression, nothingness and how he has used this unfortunate illness to his advantage and how it has changed the way he lives for the better.
At the end of my last article I mentioned about how I was feeling from my ever-worsening skin condition. I had sailed from job to job, often leaving or not showing up to work because of the horrible feeling that comes along with feeling like some sort of freak.
Now that I think about it, people are generally nice, and I doubt that many people would have thought this if they passed me by, but we are always far more critical of ourselves than others are of us, and in a way this can be very self destructing.
I left off where I was spending the bulk of my time in my bedroom & loafing around the house living with my mother and family. My mother said that one day I was supposed to be hanging out washing but she said I was standing at the washing line staring out over the houses in the valley and on the hill on the other side of where we lived.
At the time, I wasn’t sure what was causing my chronic skin problem, but seeing as I had suffered “eczema” for most of my life, I just presumed that like most other sufferers, I would either outgrow it or be stuck with it for life.
I remember reading J.P Morgan’s autobiography and discovering he had suffered from a chronic skin condition also – rosacea. His condition however became a source of strength for him as he grew older – he was far too powerful to let it effect him and it seemed as though he was over-confident and dared people to look at him and comment. He too hated being photographed and went great lengths to stop it – I still hate being photographed to this day.
Back to my bedroom, I would pour over pages of the internet trying to find out what had helped other sufferers to cure their skin condition or at least to be able to control it to some degree, but most of what I tried had zero to near zero effect on reducing itching, redness, dryness and the unsightly bloody mess it left, and then the large unexplainable rashes on my arms, chest, neck and face.
It seemed that all I could find were “magic bullets”.
I ordered creams from strange corners of the world, visited different doctors in my town and some from out of town numerous times. I swapped doctors many times, often seeking out specialists who would prescribe dangerously high levels of cortisone (steroid) containing creams, which would solve the problem momentarily, but never for long.
Most of the creams available on prescription are not suitable at all for sensitive skin, so 90% of them I couldn’t use anyway, and the ones I could use were so high in cortisone that they thin the level of your skin down if you use them too much.
I remember reading somewhere that it is best to not use any creams, moisturizers or other bodily soaps or liquids, so I completely abandoned everything.
This lead to pure hell.
Without using the steroid cream to heal old wounds, I would end up waking in the night to discover I had scratched my skin raw until it was oozing liquid or bleeding, then not be able to get back to sleep because of the itch. When I finally did get to sleep after a chronic episode of scratching, I would often sleep up to 12 hours to let my body try to heal the damage, and because I didn’t want to go anywhere.
Often it was just at night that it happened, but sometimes it would just happen – I would get itchy as hell. I wanted to start doing Karate but as soon as I got even slightly warm I would get an attack, let alone dripping with sweat. The worst thing about it was that I couldn’t go out and stay with friends, go away on holidays or stay away from home because then others would know what I did, and it would either scare them silly or I would be a real freak. Having massive red patches on your face and all over your body isn’t fun when you are surrounded by your friends who all have perfect skin and look amazing – even sporting severe hangovers.
I just can’t describe how much I wanted to be normal.
Hangovers were something I ended up getting familiar with – sometimes I would drink so much I would pass out and wake up not having scratched at all. I actually thought that this had cured me, just drinking so much that I passed out, but often the scratching just got intensified if I drank.
The nights after the drinking were the worst.
I couldn’t get to sleep because I had been up all day, and there must be something in the drink that my body can’t handle, because Mondays were always spent in bed, even my friends and family asked me why I stayed in my room for a few days after drinking and never really came out.
Back to trying to find a cure.
The amount of diets, detoxes, herbs, pills, creams, therapy, doctors visits, specialist consultations and other “professional” help that I sought would blow your mind.
Most 18 year olds spend their cash on chicks, cars and booze.
Yes I had a car and brought booze – but the majority of my pay check always went to whatever it was I was trying to help rid my disease at the time.
Here are a few things I tried:
- Prescription creams – $34 for doctor visit + prescription costs
- TCM (traditional chinese medicine) – over $100 per week
- Accupuncture – $45 per session
- Organ/blood stimulation – $65 per session
- Dermatologists – $95 per session + prescription costs
- Allergy tests – $35 every time (there are a LOT of different tests)
- Special bedding/detergent – not a major cost
- Creams from “interesting” countries – up to $79 per container
I can’t remember all of the things I tried, but these are a few – it seemed that every time I asked somebody if they could help, no matter what their profession they smiled $) and said “yes of course we can help”.
I learned never to ask a salesman if you need what he is selling.
After a few years of trying different approaches to fixing my skin condition, I gave up the fight.
I came extremely close to departing permanently, and to some people it may seem stupid to think about passing on through just because of a skin problem.
Until you have a bright red rash, disfigured skin, your face being a combination of red/yellow and white patches and your entire body covered in a rash that would look at home on somebody who has just crashed their road bike on a highway – you don’t know what you are talking about.
I would lie to people and say I was in a skateboarding accident, I ran through a rose patch or something equally stupid, I just couldn’t tell people I had a skin condition – it was like I didn’t want anyone to know for some reason, even though they could obviously see if I saw them on a regular basis my skin was always a mess.
It was around this time that I started drugs.
To be continued … the next part of this series will be up soon.

Too much of anything is a poison, but have you ever thought that you might be spending too much time on your computer? Apparently some psychologists have too, since they’ve not only coined a term for it (Internet Addiction Disorder) but are arguing for it to be included in the DSM as its own psychological disorder.
The proponents of the theory argue that IAD can be an addiction that has the potential to destroy relationships and foster social anxiety. The criteria they use for diagnosis is pretty much copied and pasted from gambling addiction, which is apparently the most similar disorder they could find that didn’t involve substance abuse.
Others, however, see internet use as nothing more than harmless socialization, just through a different modality. To them, any psychological disorders that one would develop from overusing the interweb could be attributed to exacerbation of existing disorders. The fact that the internet is relatively new and that there’s only a handful of studies done on IAD so far doesn’t help either side substantiate their claims, but regardless of whether or not you think it is a legitimate disorder, there have been a good number of studies done that have identified a causal relationship between internet use and social anxiety.
One of these studies, done a couple years ago by two professors from Monash and Swinburne University in Australia, found that although the subjects’ social anxiety about online interactions had decreased with excessive internet use, they conversely showed higher levels of anxiety in real life social situations.
As we all know, anxiety releases the “stress hormone” cortisol, which causes your liver to release glucose, your muscles to release amino acids, and all sorts of things that aren’t really important as long as you know that it causes weight gain and diabetes if you let it get bad enough. So with this in mind, you could say that spending extended periods of time on the internet can increase your social anxiety, in turn causing your catabolism to increase along with your blood glucose and insulin levels, leading to weight gain.

Cell Phones and Cancer: An International Cover Up or an Incitement of Mass Hysteria?

Although the debate regarding cell phones and brain tumors has been raging since the devices became prevalent in the 90s, recent revelations in its proponents’ partiality has done little to convince any believers otherwise. Back in May, the results of the long awaited, decade long international Interphone study were released, proving to be as inconclusive as we all thought it would be, equivocally stating that “the possible effects of long-term heavy use of mobile phones require further investigation.” It doesn’t help that the study was funded by the Mobile Manufacturers’ Forums (an international association of telecom manufacturers) and the GSM Association (a manufacturer of mobile phones).
Most of the studies that have found a connection between cell phones and cancer have been too small to be heard over the larger, more heavily funded studies. Take for instance, Dr. George Carlo, who was hired to head a $28 million research program. Apparently he didn’t get the memo, since he was fired shortly after he released a statement announcing that there was an evident connection between brain cancer deaths and cell phones. A group of scientists for the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, IARC, came forward last month with a list of scientists that they accused of being biased by being previously long term employees of Motorala and other cell phone manufacturers.
Regardless of whether you believe there is an international cover up going on, or whether mobile phone companies are simply avoiding any mass hysteria, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Try to avoid sleeping next to your phone, and keep the phone at least one inch away from your ear at all times. Even if the phone is turned off, the electrical fields dissipate quickly, but the magnetic fields are not only the ones that have been linked to cancer, but take much longer to dissipate. Using the speaker phone or your blue tooth as much as possible will also help reduce your exposure from the radiation, as well as make it easier to talk while you’re driving without getting a ticket.
Also, wearing earrings can actually put you more at risk. The metal can actually retain the magnetic field, prolonging your exposure to the radiation even after you’ve put the phone down. This holds true for other pieces of jewely as well. For instance, wearing a metal watch near a satellite dish for your internet will conduct the magnetic fields along your acupuncture meridians, which are actually known to make you more susceptible to cancer.
Although the cell phone companies’ constant pressure on research groups definitely does not look good, it still is not proof there is in fact no causal relationship between cell phones and cancer. But hey, there must be something to it if they’re spending this much money stopping the truth from getting out, right?
What you should know about Cocaine addiction and its dangerous effects

What You Should Know About Cocaine Addiction And It’s Dangerous Effects
Cocaine addiction and its dangerous effects can actually kill a person. Cocaine takes control of the brain cells that control mood and pleasure sensations. Too much cocaine will permanently alter the way the brain perceives pleasure.
Cocaine can come in powder or crystal form and can be mixed with sugar, corn starch, talcum powder and even amphetamines. In most cases, the user sniffs the powder through the nose and it will absorb into the bloodstream through the nasal cavity. Other users rub the powder on their gums or even swallow it. Injecting cocaine produces an immediate high, but that means a higher risk of a overdose. Some of the street names of cocaine are rock,snow, blow, C, coke, crack and freebase. “Crack” is a form of cocaine that has been designed for smoking, and will make a cracking sound when heated.
What are some side effects of cocaine abuse?
Years ago, cocaine was used during surgery because it has a numbing effect on tissues that it touches. It was also thought that cocaine would help with depression and with other addictions. It was considered sage and was even added to a popular soft drink, until it was finally banned and removed in 1929. It could also be found in cough syrups and various other home remedies. Most physicians in those days widely approved of the use of cocaine for a variety of illnesses.
How cocaine makes you you feel depends on your age, your mood, whether you have medical or mental problems, how much you use, how often and how long you use it and whether you have consumed alcohol or other drugs while using cocaine. High doses of cocaine can result in violent behavior, panic attacks, paranoia and hallucinations. The effects of cocaine can be felt in 30-45 seconds and it will last for 10 to 20 minutes. If smoked, the effects start within seconds and lasts about 10 minutes. Effects of snorting cocaine begin in only a few seconds and last 15 to 30 minutes.
Abusing cocaine can cause adverse effects on your body, as well, and can cause heart rate to rise, increases blood pressure, dilates pupils, increases body temperature and constricts blood vessels. It also decreases appetite and you could become malnourished. Other symptoms are headaches, gastrointestinal problems, nausea and abdominal pain. Snorting cocaine can result in nosebleeds, diminished sense of smell, difficulty swallowing, runny nose, and hoarseness. If cocain is injected, you run the risk of getting a disease like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other diseases.
When high on cocaine, a person feels talkative, energetic, alert and their sexual senses are more aroused. Some people say it makes them more confident and relaxed, while other say it makes them agitated and nervous. These same people believe that they are in control of their cocaine use, and that the can stop anytime they want. The truth is, they will usually suffer relapse again and again unless they get professional addiction treatment.
Is society to blame for the cocaine epidemic?
In some respects, society plays a big part in why some people feel inclined to need mood-altering substances. Most young adults today are pressured to accomplish high goals in all areas of their lives and the stress can become too much. Some turn to alcohol, others turn to drugs as a way to take the edge off their nerves.
Another way society plays a role in drug abuse stems from movies, songs and games that portray drugs or alcohol as an acceptable form of recreation. Some movies have led young minds to think that being high is funny and that its what everybody does to have a good time. These young kids think that if the movie stars are doing drugs or alcohol, it is okay for them, too. Sadly, they only see the fun side of drug use. If they could see their favorite actor during detox in a rehab, they might feel differently about using drugs.

Muscle testing is a noninvasive method of diagnosing health problems and possible treatments by checking a muscle’s strength or weakness. This is one of the diagnostic tools, along with lab tests, client history and others, utilized by an interdisciplinary health care system called Applied Kinesiology.
Is muscle testing accurate?
Proponents of muscle testing will say “yes” and opponents will say “no.” To a degree, each is correct. Muscle testing can be remarkably accurate when utilized by skilled individuals who have been extensively trained, with at least 300 hours of training or more. Some individuals even have college or university degrees for much more than just muscle testing.
Muscle testing was used in the 1930’s in the United States, 30 years before Applied Kinesiology was developed in 1964. A chiropractor, Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr., developed Applied Kinesiology as an interdisciplinary health care system that would utilize more than just muscle testing for diagnoses and treatments. He did find that muscle testing could be tremendously beneficial in gaining information to help a patient with health problems.
Many healthcare professionals throughout the earth use muscle testing to help with making diagnoses and treatments. Many have seen excellent results from properly using muscle testing and many patients and clients will agree.
However, as with any profession, there are healthcare professionals who are not as adept at the profession, as others are, or they may even be incompetent. Some of these individuals may be in this profession just because it offers significant money.
Why have some people considered alternative healthcare?
Because conventional medical practices and treatments are not getting the results many patients want, in some instances these patients are looking at alternative treatments. They are considering chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists, among others. Some of these healthcare professionals were medical doctors at one time, and who became discouraged when unable to help their patients as they felt they should. These professionals found that alternative healthcare was what could do the job. These individuals are exceptionally skilled at what they do, and many utilize muscle testing.
Since the body functions as a single unit, muscle testing of one muscle or group of muscles will give the body’s reaction to certain questions, substances or situations. Properly phrased, explicit questions with a single answer, utilized by a skilled tester can yield valuable information that a healthcare professional can use to benefit a client or patient. This can help the professional determine what course of treatment can make a positive difference to a client’s health.
How can one be sure results are accurate?
A client should always learn how to self-test. Not only does this let him double check to make sure the healthcare professional is gaining accurate data, it helps the client stay in touch with his body and what is happening to it. A client should always be aware of the state of his body. He can quiz his body about each organ and how well it is functioning, his circulatory system, and his immune system. He can also ask any other question in order to understand his body‘s health level.
Note: One should never ask a question when one does not want to know the answer. One should ask questions that need answers and require action.
Sometimes, one experiences an odd feeling or sensation that can be unnerving. Asking one’s body if this is something worrying and getting a negative answer can be reassuring. It just may be the body adjusting something. Another time, it could be chest pain. Is it a heart attack or just a rib out of place? If one’s body indicates a problem with the heart, then one knows to go to the hospital.
Can muscle testing be accurate? Yes, it can be exceedingly accurate in the hands of competent individuals. Also, if there is a way to double check information, one should do that. This can give peace of mind that information obtained is correct. It can also build confidence in one’s healthcare professional and can keep one in touch with how his body is doing. Altogether, one can be reassured that the correct treatments are being done in regard to improving his health.

Muscle testing was used in the 1930’s in the United States, 30 years before Applied Kinesiology was developed in 1964. A chiropractor, Dr. George J. Goodheart, Jr., developed Applied Kinesiology as an interdisciplinary health care system that would utilize more than just muscle testing for diagnoses and treatments. He did find that muscle testing could be tremendously beneficial in gaining information to help a patient with health problems.
Many healthcare professionals throughout the earth use muscle testing to help with making diagnoses and treatments. Many have seen excellent results from properly using muscle testing and many patients and clients will agree.
However, as with any profession, there are healthcare professionals who are not as adept at the profession, as others are, or they may even be incompetent. Some of these individuals may be in this profession just because it offers significant money.
Why have some people considered alternative healthcare?
Because conventional medical practices and treatments are not getting the results many patients want, in some instances these patients are looking at alternative treatments. They are considering chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists, among others. Some of these healthcare professionals were medical doctors at one time, and who became discouraged when unable to help their patients as they felt they should. These professionals found that alternative healthcare was what could do the job. These individuals are exceptionally skilled at what they do, and many utilize muscle testing.
Since the body functions as a single unit, muscle testing of one muscle or group of muscles will give the body’s reaction to certain questions, substances or situations. Properly phrased, explicit questions with a single answer, utilized by a skilled tester can yield valuable information that a healthcare professional can use to benefit a client or patient. This can help the professional determine what course of treatment can make a positive difference to a client’s health.
How can one be sure results are accurate?
A client should always learn how to self-test. Not only does this let him double check to make sure the healthcare professional is gaining accurate data, it helps the client stay in touch with his body and what is happening to it. A client should always be aware of the state of his body. He can quiz his body about each organ and how well it is functioning, his circulatory system, and his immune system. He can also ask any other question in order to understand his body’s health level.
Note: One should never ask a question when one does not want to know the answer. One should ask questions that need answers and require action.
Sometimes, one experiences an odd feeling or sensation that can be unnerving. Asking one’s body if this is something worrying and getting a negative answer can be reassuring. It just may be the body adjusting something. Another time, it could be chest pain. Is it a heart attack or just a rib out of place? If one’s body indicates a problem with the heart, then one knows to go to the hospital.
Can muscle testing be accurate? Yes, it can be exceedingly accurate in the hands of competent individuals. Also, if there is a way to double check information, one should do that. This can give peace of mind that information obtained is correct. It can also build confidence in one’s healthcare professional and can keep one in touch with how his body is doing. Altogether, one can be reassured that the correct treatments are being done in regard to improving his health.
About Medicare Supplemental Insurance (Medigap)
June 10, 2020 by LivingSenior
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS
Medigap, also known as Medicare Supplement Insurance, is a type of insurance plan which supplements an individual’s current Medicare insurance. Individuals on Medicare are of retirement age, at least 65 years of age according to the most recent minimum age requirements. However because Medicare only covers 80% of the medications, doctor visits, procedures, and additional medical expenses, many people choose to supplement this coverage with additional insurance plans to help them cover out-of-pocket expenses. Medigap is one of the most widely used supplemental insurance plans by individuals who also receive Medicare insurance coverage.
In order to be approved for Medigap plans, you must be enrolled in either part A or part B of the Medicare plans. There is an open enrollment period beginning within 6 months of turning 65 in which you can enroll for Medicare and also have the option at this time to enroll in Medigap as well. If you enroll in Medigap during open enrollment, a medical screening examination is not required, however if you delay enrolling and enroll outside of this time period, you may be subjected to medical screening and will need to receive an attending physician’s statement about your current health.
Medigap coverage is available to some individuals who receive Medicare and are under the age of 65, but the process is more selective and Medigap is not required to enroll anyone over the age of 65. Persons who get Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or have end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are automatically approved for Medicare insurance coverage even if they are under 65 years of age, but even these patients with Medicare must go through a medical screening process before being approved for Medigap supplemental insurance coverage. Much of the eligibility for supplemental insurance under the age of 65 depends on your current medical status, the conditions you receive Medicare for, and what state you live in.
There are a variety of Medigap supplemental insurance plans offered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) The plans you can choose from range from plan A to plan N, each which are sold and administered by private companies. Each plan has a different premium, deductible, and different combination of benefits. Generally, the lower the letter of the alphabet, the more expensive the plan but the more benefits received. So if you are willing to pay more for maximum benefit options, plan A would be your best choice. Medigap supplemental insurance is considered private insurance, therefore each state has the ability to provide different benefits and different rates for their individual plans.
Medigap supplemental insurance plans do offer some form of drug coverage, but only if the individual is enrolled in part A or part B of Medicare. Medicare’s part D plan which is their prescription drug plan can be combined with Medigap, but if the person only has part D, without part A or B, they will not be able to use Medigap benefits. If you have the part D prescription plan under Medicare, you can choose to have a Medigap plan with no prescription drug coverage which may save you money by having a lower premium.

Using Animals to Improve Nursing Wards
June 10, 2020 by Juvie Indiola
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS, HEALTHCARE
There’s no doubt that nursing is a challenging, yet rewarding career path. Recently, the United Kingdom’s National Health Service had become increasingly concerned with the amount of violence against nurses and other staff members in mental hospitals. To compensate, they took a page from airport security programs and have hired a dog that is able to detect the presence of knives and illegal drugs. In the past, hospital staff members searched for these items on their own, but it was very time consuming. When a dog did the job, it was completed in a matter of minutes, and didn’t require nurses to remove themselves from other tasks.
The National Health Service dog is a springer spaniel named Paddy, and his handler says that beyond helping his human companions search for forbidden items, he also cheers the patients. Even though Paddy is the first animal to be used in this capacity, the UK’s Mirror newspaper notes that he’s been able to reduce the amount of illegal drugs by two thirds, and that violence towards staff members is at its lowest level in half a decade.
This program is similar to programs around the world that use dogs for therapeutic purposes in hospitals or nursing homes. For example, the Virginia Commonwealth University’s medical center regularly uses animals to visit patients who are staying in the hospital overnight, those who are undergoing electroconvulsive therapy, or might be attending psychotherapy appointment on an outpatient level. The university even has a Center for Human-Animal Interaction. Besides improving the general outlook of a patient, the center aims to conduct research that explores the benefits of inviting well behaved animals into a hospital setting.
Improving Staff Morale
Animals in hospitals can have a beneficial effect on staff members, too. It’s long been understood that most pets are happiest when they have human companionship. Unfortunately though, this reality makes it difficult for staff members such as nurses to have pets of their own. Dogs need regular walks to stay healthy, but that’s hard if an owner is working 12 hour shifts on a regular basis. Even cats, which are normally more self-sufficient than dogs, get lonely without interaction from humans, and might lapse into destructive habits if left unattended for too long.
A healthcare worker who is a self-described “animal person” might be a bit more upbeat simply by having occasional interactions with animals who visit patients on a particular ward. Since these therapy pets are almost always accompanied by handlers, there’s no need to worry that they could end up being a distraction, and ultimately cause productivity to drop. On the contrary, you may find that workers become even more efficient, because they’re in a happier mood and are serving patients who have a more positive attitude, as well.
Starting a Program of Your Own
PetPartners.org offers a simple four-step program to help hospital workers introduce a pet therapy initiative in their workplace. If you’re interested in giving it a try, simply visit the website and review the information. It’s even possible to get help from an expert coordinator via phone. It’ll take some work and research, but you might be embarking on a journey that improves the well-being of hospital employees and patient’s alike.

Stress: A Friend or a Foe?
June 10, 2020 by matthew kyle
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS, HEALTHCARE
Everyone has had a fair share of being stressed. Life’s everyday challenges are usually
more than enough for one person to carry, and not all people around you are willing to
share that burden. Everyone experiences stress, but not all people deal with it in the
same way. Some have effective strategies and attitudes for handling problems, but
some end up buckling under pressure. Why is this so?
Stress Can Be Your Friend
Stress has always had a negative connotation to many. It is almost synonymous to the
words headache, anxiety, exhaustion, or fatigue. This is actually a little unfair, because
in reality, we need stress. Stressful situations present us with challenges, and these
should be taken as opportunities to come up with creative solutions and strategies
to solve problems. Just keep in mind that stress is basically a reaction to an anxiety-
provoking situation, and this can turn into either positive or negative experiences.
Stress can be your friend if it makes you think on your feet and make good decisions
under time pressure. In fact, short-term stress can be helpful to you physically, in a
sense that it actually trains the body to become stronger in warding off infections or
viruses. As long as stress is at a minimum to medium level, it is not a cause for alarm.
Stress Can Be a Monster
Now let’s take a look at the bad side. We all know that high levels of stress presents us
with a myriad of mental and physical problems. Emotional stress especially leads to a
higher risk of fatigue, nervous breakdowns, and other psychological concerns. People
who usually experience high emotional stress are those who have had a traumatic
event in life such as abuse, maltreatment or a death of a loved one. These events
trigger negative feelings and may lead to long-term stress.
Some people simply avoid stressful situations, but that is not effective at all times.
Stress can definitely be felt for long periods of time, which means that you have to find
ways to manage it, face it, or deal with it. Remember, when stress strikes and you are
not able to control it, it ends up controlling you.
What You Should Do
To avoid falling into the dark abyss of stress, learn to ask for help. Communicate with
others whom you feel comfortable with. They may not be going through the same
problems as you are, but a dear friend with a listening ear may make your burden
lighter. Things may be really hard for you to deal with right now, and it might seem
that there is no escape, but do not be shy to admit this to yourself and to others. Be
proactive and seek for help. Solve your problems, not dwell on them. Stress doesn’t
always have to be the monster you should fear every day. Stressful situations can
actually give you unique challenges that you can overcome in many positive ways.

Your Blood is Talking: Are You Listening
June 10, 2020 by Fara
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS, HEALTHCARE
Your Blood is Talking: Are You Listening?
Have you listened to your blood lately? If you’re like most people, the answer is no. Many people don’t understand just how much information a single blood test can hold. According to Larry Creswell, M.D., establishing a relationship with a primary physician is a first step in getting blood tests that are specific to your needs. Here’s what your blood can tell you if you’re willing to listen:
1.Baseline
A blood test, or a general health profile, can tell you what’s going on inside of your body. While you may think that you don’t need a blood test while you’re feeling well, you couldn’t be more incorrect. Having a blood test while you’re healthy will give you and your doctor a baseline. In other words, it will tell you and your doctor what your cells and organs are doing while you’re healthy. Should you get sick in the future, your doctor will have something to compare new results to.
2.Diabetes
Blood tests are the quickest way to tell if you have diabetes. If your doctor suspects that you’re diabetic, she will order a fasting glucose. The results of this test, for the average person, range from 70 to 99 mg/dL. If you fall somewhere above or below these numbers, you may be diagnosed with diabetes. Why is this important? Because the sooner you discover your condition, the sooner you can get in under control. In fact, if you are pre-diabetic, you have a very real chance of turning your health around with simple lifestyle changes.
3.Thyroid Issues
If you’re feeling fatigued and are experiencing changes in your weight, you could be suffering with a thyroid condition. If you fall below the normal ranges, you are considered to have hypothyroidism. When you’re above the normal ranges, you are considered to have hyperthyroidism. In either case, thyroid disease is fairly easy to control with the right medications.
4.STDs or STIs
Sexually transmitted diseases, now more commonly called sexually transmitted infections, can be detected through blood tests and physical examinations along with other diagnostic testing. One of the most deadly infections, HIV/AIDS, can only be detected through a blood test. If you have had unprotected sex, you are at risk. The CDC recommends blood testing at least annually if you are sexually active outside of a monogamous relationship.
5.Cholesterol
High cholesterol is one of the leading causes of heart disease. If you don’t eat the healthiest of diets, you are at risk for developing high cholesterol. A simple blood test can detect fat levels in your blood, alerting your doctor to your need for lifestyle changes and medication. Cholesterol problems tend to run in families. If you have a close relative with high cholesterol and don’t pay attention to your own diet and exercise, it’s important that you get tested.
Your blood can provide you and your doctor with a wealth of information. The next time that your doctor suggests routine blood work, don’t balk at the directive. Most diseases and conditions are more easily controlled when they are detected early. Listen to what your blood is trying to tell you.

Is Good Nutrition Really The Key To Battling Depression?
June 10, 2020 by HelenSanders
Filed under . ANNOUNCEMENTS, HEALTHCARE
Although many people are aware of the link between nutrition and physical health, most don’t understand the correlation between nutrition and mental well-being.
Just as a healthy diet filled with essential nutrients and fatty acids can promote health and fight physical illness, the same can be said of mental illness.
So is good nutrition really the key to battling depression? Read on to find out.
What is Depression?
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one of the most common mental illnesses globally is depression (source).
Depression is a mental disorder which is associated with a number of different symptoms including increased sadness and/or anxiety, depressed mood, lack of appetite and a lost desire to participate in pleasurable activities.
If there is no intervention, this disorder can have serious consequences. Many sufferers of depression experience suicidal tendencies and often these symptoms are treated with psychotherapy or antidepressants (source).
Deficiencies in neurotransmitters in the brain such as serotonin are thought to play a major role in depression and suicide (source).
One way to effectively manage this is by understanding the key role nutrition plays in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders.
Understanding Nutrition, Depression and Mental Illness.
One notable feature in the diets of those suffering from mental illness is a severe deficiency in several essential nutrients including vitamins, minerals and omega 3 fatty acids (source).
Research to date has shown that daily supplementation of these essential nutrients can significantly improve a patient’s symptoms (source).
In fact, for a lot of people, noticeable food patterns occur both before and after depression sets in including a poor appetite or skipping meals entirely as well as a strong desire for sweet foods (source).
Many essential nutrients affect our mood, some more than others and all in different ways.
Vitamin B
Neurotransmitters are incredibly important in the human body. They are messengers in the brain, controlling everything from mood to appetite and they are heavily influenced by the foods we eat every day.
B vitamins including folic acid (B9), niacin (B3) and pyridoxine (B6) all work with amino acids to produce the hormone serotonin, considered the “feel good” hormone.
As you can imagine, a deficiency in B vitamins can lead to extremely low levels of serotonin, thus, affecting your mood and leaving you feeling down. Over time this can significantly increase and lead to depression.
In fact, studies have shown that patients supplemented with folic acid and vitamin B12 display decreased symptoms of depression (source)
Ways to get more vitamin B include:
-
Legumes
-
Whole grains
-
Nuts
-
Seeds
-
Leafy green vegetables
-
Eggs
-
Chicken
-
Red meat
-
Milk
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Researchers have found that the decrease in consumption of omega 3 fatty acids from fish throughout several cultures including America, is linked to an increased trend of major cases of depression (source).
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the two main omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil, have been shown to exhibit antidepressant properties in humans. Clinical studies have in fact shown that omega 3 supplementation can effectively treat depression (source).
Ways to get more omega 3s into your diet is to eat fresh, wild fish twice weekly, some of which include:
-
Wild salmon
-
Trout
-
Sardines
-
Albacore tuna
Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein as well as the building blocks of life.
There are 20 amino acids, 9 of which are classed as essential, meaning the human body is unable to produce them alone and must obtain all essential amino acids through dietary sources.
Amino acids have a role in numerous functions throughout the body as well as the production of neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitter dopamine is made from the amino acid tyrosine and the neurotransmitter serotonin is made from tryptophan (source).
Without the correct level of amino acids, these neurotransmitters cannot be synthesized which can lead to low mood and aggression in patients.
To get more amino acids into your diet, eat meals rich in protein including:
-
Poultry
-
Fish
-
Eggs
-
Lean meat
-
Nuts
Conclusion
As you can see, science confirms that good nutrition really is the key to battling depression. By ensuring your diet is rich with the correct nutrients, you can significantly affect your mood by the action of neurotransmitters in your brain.

Overview of Magento Shop: wanted for ecommerce
Magento Shop im Überblick: Gefragt im E-Commerce
Die Wahl eines CMS-Systems ist wie eine Ehe: Man kann es ein paar Mal machen, aber es ist besser, das richtige beim ersten Mal zu wählen.”
Für digitale Unternehmen, die eine langfristige Beziehung zu ihren Online-Shops aufbauen wollen, ist Magento Shop Shop nicht nur ein weltbekanntes Wort. Seit 2008 gilt es als die beste Open-Source den Entwicklern hilft E-Commerce-Websites zu erstellen. Open bedeutet kostenlos: Hier fangen die Vorteile an.
Wenn Sie gerade dabei sind, das CMS (Content Management System) auszuwählen oder zu ändern, um einfach und ohne Kopfschmerzen mit dem Verkauf zu beginnen, dann testen Sie Magento Shop und Sie werden feststellen, dass es das ist, wonach Sie suchen. Dieses leistungsstarke, skalierbare und flexible System wird von Giganten wie Nike, Samsung, Coca-Cola und Ford geschätzt. Und natürlich gibt es Hunderttausende anderer Marken, die diese Open-Source-Lösung nutzen, um Kunden für ihre Produkte zu begeistern. Und Sie könnten einer von ihnen sein.
Lassen Sie uns herausfinden, was Magento Shop kann und warum es eine so große Nachfrage hat!
Eine Kurzbiografie von Magento Shop
Es war kein schneller Erfolg, sondern ein langer strategischer Prozess. Wenn Menschen googlen, was Magento Shop ist, implizieren sie immer den E-Commerce-Markt, und das zeigt die große Wirkung dieses Systems hat auf die Welt. Seit über einem Jahrzehnt ist Magento das beliebteste E-Commerce-CMS im Internet und hat mehr als 25% der Online-Shops erreicht. Begonnen als Projekt von Roy Rubin in der Webdesign-Firma Varien, das 2008 gestartet ist.
Magento Shop wuchs im Laufe der Jahre zu einer der individuellsten Plattformen auf dem Markt heran und wechselte in den letzten sieben Jahren dreimal seinen Besitzer. Im Jahr 2011 kaufte der Technologiekonzern eBay es im Wert von 180 Millionen Dollar. Einer der Mitbegründer, Yoav Kutner, verließ sein Unternehmen 2012, und zwei Jahre später folgte Roy Rubin ihm. Dann wurde die Magento-Gesellschaft wieder von der Investmentgesellschaft Permira Funds übernommen, die die Anteile von eBay erworben hat. Und schließlich ging das Unternehmen 2018 für über eine Milliarde Dollar in die Hände von Adobe über.
Heutzutage ist Magento mehr als ein Unternehmen, sondern eine blühende Gemeinschaft, die Hand in Hand mit den weltweiten Einzelhändlern und Marken aus den Bereichen B2B und B2C E-Commerce arbeitet. Es besteht aus mehr als 200 Lösungspartnern, 250.000 Marken und vielen Entwicklern und Partnern, die Apps und Erweiterungen für die Zukunft des Unternehmens Magento Shop entwickeln.
Geeignete Plattformen für Magento Anwendung
Es gibt eine lange Liste von leistungsstarken Magento-Websites aus der ganzen Welt, die Marken und Kunden verbinden. Aber jetzt wollen wir sie in Arten von Plattformen einteilen, die am besten geeignet für die Verwendung von Magento Shop sind.
• Universell für B2B und B2C;
• Online-Shops;
• Unternehmenswebsites;
• Online-Dienste;
• Informationsportale;
• Blogs;
• Landing Pages (nicht oft, weil Magento eine große Funktionalität hat und Landing Pages nicht so viel benötigen.)
Trotz einer großen Auswahl an Website-Arten, ist der E-Commerce-Markt die Nummer eins bei der Nutzung des Magento-Umfelds, um die gesetzten Ziele zu erreichen. Und die zunehmende Zahl von Magento Online-Shops in der E-Commerce-Landschaft spiegelt die Tatsache wider, dass Sie als Geschäftsinhaber mit der Entwicklung der Zeit Schritt halten müssen.
Magento Shop Funktionsübersicht
Genug über die Fakten, wir wetten, Sie können es kaum erwarten, mehr über die technischen Faktoren von Magento Shop zu erfahren. Und warum Tausende von Unternehmen auf der ganzen Welt sich für Magento Shop beim Aufbau und Anpassung ihres Shopsystems entscheiden. Hier ist eine Liste der beliebtesten Optionen von Magento:
• Open Source Code (das bedeutet, dass er für die Verwendung oder Modifikation von Frontend und Backend durch Entwickler oder Nutzer zugänglich ist);
• SEO-freundlich (es gibt Tools für Verbesserung der Indexierung bei Suchmaschinen);
• Die neuesten Marketing-Tools (es ist möglich, Newsletter, Pop-ups, Werbeaktionen sowie Kataloge mit Rabatten zu erstellen usw.);
• Alle Funktionen für den Verkauf (Zahlung über die Website, Karten, Bargeld, etc.; die Möglichkeit, die Lieferung von europäischen Logistikunternehmen auszuwählen und zu registrieren);
• Die Spracheinstellungen (Sie können eine beliebige Sprache konfigurieren);
• Cross-Browser (Magento Shop für jeden Browser einstellen: Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, etc.);
• Standardmäßig eine adaptive Version;
• Viele Währungen;
• Eingebaute Funktionalität für Rabatte oder Coupons;
• Berichte (diese enthalten eine Reihe nützlicher Berichte, die Informationen über alles enthalten, vom Warenkorb Ihrer Kunden bis hin zu deren Tags);
• Rückerstattungs- und Rückgaberichtlinien;
• Große Möglichkeiten der Benutzerfreundlichkeit;
Beschränken Sie den Zugriff auf das Admin-Panel (Erstellen von multi-level access formats)
Die neuesten Funktionen von Magento 2.3
Seit Ende letzten Jahres ist Magento 2 der Nachfolger der Erstversion auf dem Markt. Außerdem hat sich fast nichts an der Namensgebung geändert, aber es gibt eine moderne Software mit hervorragenden Funktionen, um Flexibilität, Qualität und Skalierbarkeit Ihres Shops auf ein neues Level zu heben.
Was sind das für Features?
• PWA (Progressive Web Apps) ermöglichen es Ihrem Unternehmen, mobilen Support auf einem höheren Niveau anzubieten;
• Multi-Source Inventory, das darauf ausgelegt ist, Managementstrategien und Einkaufserlebnisse so reibungslos wie nie zuvor zu gestalten;
• Page Builder mit Drag & Drop-Schnittstelle für eine einfachere Inhaltsverwaltung;
Die elastische Suche mit erweiterten Suchfunktionen, die nur in Magento Commerce verfügbar waren, ist nun auch in Magento Open Source verfügbar.
Magento 1 vs Magento 2
Der Name dieses Themas ist merkwürdig, weil es keine Konkurrenz zwischen Magento 1 und Magento 2 gibt. Die USA bestätigen: Die neueste Version ist die am schnellsten wachsende Shop-Software in Nordamerika. Heutzutage gibt es mehr als 250.000 Downloads von Magento 2. Dieser Service positioniert sich höher als sein Vorgänger und hat die Richtung zu Firmenkunden mit komplexen Geschäftsmodellen, großen Verkehrs- und Großaufträgen, ambitionierten Wachstumsplänen und internationaler Ausrichtung aufgenommen. Dies wird durch die jüngsten Käufe und Upgrades, die Sie gerade im vorherigen Absatz gelesen haben, sowie durch den Einfluss von Adobe deutlich.
Seit November 2015, als Magento Shop das lang erwartete Magento 2.0 auf den Markt brachte, bot es seinen Kunden eine völlig neue Erfahrung. Die neue Version löste einige allgemeine Probleme, indem sie eine Vielzahl von neuen Verbesserungen und Funktionen einführte. Es gab eine Menge Hype um die Einführung von Magento 2, aber noch wichtiger ist, dass das Unternehmen kündigte das Ende der Unterstützung von Magento 1 im Juni 2020 an. Diese dramatischen Veränderungen bedeuten, dass ein Upgrade von Magento 1 auf Magento 2 ein Muss ist bzw. sein wird.
Wie Sie bereits wissen, unterscheidet sich Magento 2 deutlich von seinem Vorgänger Magento 1: Die Entwickler haben eine Menge Änderungen vorgenommen, um die Leistung und Skalierbarkeit dieser Plattform zu verbessern. Aber es gibt auch viele Vorteile des neuen Engines, die es wert sind, hervorgehoben zu werden. Denken Sie an diese coolen Features:
• Unterstützt HTML5, CSS3, jQuery, LESS;
• File structure;
• Layouts;
• Containers and Blocks;
• Documentation (Wiki, DevDocs).
Hier sind ergänzende Anmerkungen zu dieser Liste: Einige der Verbesserungen beinhalten das Hinzufügen von HTML5-Tags, die in Vorlagen eingebettet sind, die Verwendung von CSS3-Techniken in Styles und den integrierten LESS-Preprocessor. Über JavaScript: ein neuer Vorteil ist die Umstellung von Prototype auf jQuery als Hauptdatenbank. Jetzt wird die jQuery-Benutzeroberfläche sehr aktiv verwendet, und eine ganze Reihe von vorgefertigten jQuery-Benutzeroberflächen-Widgets wurde hinzugefügt, die auf Ihrer Website verwendet werden können. Alle JavaScript-Downloads werden von RequireJS verarbeitet, und jetzt brauchen Sie sich keine Sorgen mehr über die falsche Reihenfolge der Verbindungsskripte zu machen.
Migration von Magento 1 auf Magento 2
Wir wissen, wie schwierig der Migrationsprozess sein kann, selbst wenn Sie auf eine neue Version derselben Plattform aktualisieren. Klar, Magento 2 hat eine fortschrittliche Architektur und Funktionalität, und es kann einige Herausforderungen mit sich bringen.
Nach unserer Erfahrung ist die Datenmigration eine ziemlich energieintensive Aufgabe, die gut vorbereitet werden muss. Sämtliche Methoden und Features der Entwickler müssen überprüft, neu geschrieben und mit Magento 2 und den neuesten Versionen von PHP kompatibel gemacht werden. Für das ist es besser, eine erfahrene E-Commerce-Agentur zu beauftragen, um alles korrekt und termingerecht zu realisieren. Lesen Sie unseren Artikel mit einem realen Beispiel für die Migration von Magento 1 auf Magento 2, um Details zu erfahren und mehr über den Prozess zu sehen.
Also, wenn Sie bereits Pläne für die Umstellung auf die neueste Version von Magento Shop machen, beachten Sie die Fristen (Juni 2020), und überprüfen Sie die folgende Liste. Es ist empfehlenswert Ihren Online-Shop jetzt zu aktualisieren, wenn:
• Sie planen, einen neuen E-Commerce-Shop zu bauen;
• Sie haben Performance-Probleme mit Magento 1;
• Ihre Plattform läuft auf einer veralteten Version;
• Sie sind gerade dabei, Modifikationen einzuführen;
• Sie denken über ein Redesign und Rebranding Ihres Shops nach.
Um Risiken zu vermeiden, sollten Sie jetzt anfangen zu handeln. Let the migration begin!
Die Vor- und Nachteile von Magento Shop
Sie haben unsere Einstellung zur Migration von Magento 1 nach Magento 2 wahrscheinlich bereits erkannt, aber wir möchten alle Vorteile und Einschränkungen in zwei praxisnahen Abschnitten herausstellen:
Vorteile
• Offener Quellcode;
• Ausgezeichnete Grundfunktionalität;
• Die Möglichkeit, Plugins und Module zu verbinden, die die Möglichkeiten der Website erweitern;
• Die Benutzerfreundlichkeit des Admin-Panels auf allen Ebenen der Administration (für Manager, Vertriebsleiter, Content-Manager, etc.);
• Verbessertes Caching-System Varnish Cash, das das Laden von Seiten beschleunigt;
• Aktualisierte Indexierungsprozesse (Indexierungsseiten sind im Hintergrund und beeinflussen die Geschwindigkeit nicht);
• Volle Integration mit Google Analytics (vollständige Magento Shop-Überprüfung und Bericht und Integration mit Services wie Google AdWords);
• Erweiterte Benutzerverwaltung (mehrere Benutzer können ein Konto haben, und für einige von ihnen können Sie eine Beschränkung der Anzeige des Verzeichnisses festlegen);
• Unterstützung für mehrere Zahlungssysteme, einschließlich PayPal;
• Die Möglichkeit, große Einkäufe mit einem Check-up auf 300 Positionen zu tätigen;
• Hohe Geschwindigkeit auch bei hoher Besucherzahl;
• Multi-Site (es erlaubt Ihnen, ein paar separate Websites einzurichten und alle Aktionen mit einem einzigen installierten Magento durchzuführen);
Die Anpassungsfähigkeit von Vorlagen für mobile Geräte.
Nachteile
• Keine Integration mit Magento 1 und anderen automatisierten Buchhaltungssystemen;
• Der komplizierte Installationsprozess (Sie müssen Dritte mit der Installation von CMS Magento beauftragen, so dass es für Anfänger unwahrscheinlich ist, die Installation durchzuführen);
• Der Bedarf an Verbesserungen (wenn Sie Ihren Online-Shop wirklich individuell und einzigartig machen wollen, dann müssen Sie entweder ZendFramework lernen, auf dessen Grundlage Magento Shop erstellt wurde, oder Spezialisten einstellen);
• Der Bedarf an qualitativ hochwertigem Hosting (ein einfaches und billiges Hosting wird bei der Installation von Magento Shop nicht funktionieren.)
Andere Magento-Produkte
Magento als Unternehmen setzt alles daran, Multitasking zu betreiben und den unterschiedlichen Erwartungen der Kunden zu entsprechen. Deshalb gibt es nur wenige größere Versionen seines Kernprodukts: Magento Open Source, Magento Commerce, Magento Commerce, Magento Commerce Cloud und Adobe Commerce Cloud. Für diejenigen, die gerade dabei sind, eine wichtige CMS-Entscheidung zu treffen, überprüfen Sie diese Haupttypen und wählen Sie aus, was am besten zu Ihnen passt.
Magento Open Source
Diese beliebte Version steht zum kostenlosen Download zur Verfügung und wird von vielen Nutzern geschätzt, die eine gut ausgestattete, hochflexible Website erstellen möchten, die mit den großen Marken im Internet konkurrieren kann. In der Regel wird Magento E-Commerce Open Source von mittleren und kleinen Unternehmen verwendet, aber es hat auch Firmenkunden. Dieser Typ ist leichter gebaut als Magento Commerce, und einige der Lizenzstrukturen passen nicht zu den Bedürfnissen großer Einzelhändler. Aber mit der genauen Infrastruktur-Entwicklung und einem qualifizierten Team kann Magento Open Source leicht auf dem gleichen Niveau sein wie Magento Commerce oder andere Plattformen.
Magento Commerce
Dies ist das nächste Magento-Produkt, das in der Regel von größeren Unternehmen und Marken verwendet wird, die eine größere Anzahl von Funktionen und Premium-Supportstufen benötigen. Im Vergleich zu kostenlosen Magento Open Source, Magento Commerce hat eine Lizenzgebühr, die bei $ 24.000 pro Jahr beginnt, wenn Sie Magento 2 verwenden. 31,4% der Top 100.000 E-Commerce-Websites entfallen laut Salmon auf Magento Commerce. Wie erwartet, bietet Magento Commerce Ihnen mehr Funktionalität, wie z.B. erweiterte Marketingfunktionen, Kundenbonusprogramme und gezielte Werbeaktionen. Außerdem erhalten Sie als Plus den 24/7-Support durch das technische Team des Unternehmens.
Magento Commerce Cloud
Bei der Prüfung von Hostingoptionen müssen Online-Unternehmer in der Regel aus drei verschiedenen Optionen wählen: eigene Serverinfrastruktur, andere Hosting-Miete und die Nutzung eines Cloud-basierten Hostings. Und die letzte Option ist sehr beliebt, weil sie einfach zu warten und zugänglich ist. Magento Commerce Cloud wurde 2016 eingeführt und wird seitdem häufig genutzt. Heute hat Magento Commerce Cloud 150 Online-Shops und über 50% der neuen Magento Shop-Kunden wählen es anstelle von Drittanbietern Cloud Hosting. Also, Magento Commerce Cloud-Plattform enthält viele ausgeklügelte Lösungen, die darauf abzielen, Online-Shopping einfach und angenehm zu gestalten. Mehr Geschwindigkeit und Sicherheit, komfortablere Entwicklung und Implementierung sind nur einige der Vorteile, die Magento Commerce Cloud seinen Nutzern bietet. Auf dieser Basis kann die Plattform als optimale Lösung für den Einsatz als Cloud Host für Magento-Websites bezeichnet werden. All diese Vorteile machen jedoch nur Sinn, wenn man ein kompetentes Team hat, das weiß, wie man sie richtig einsetzt.
Adobe Commerce Cloud
Wie Sie sich erinnern, hat Adobe Magento Shop im vergangenen Jahr gekauft und seitdem die Adobe Commerce Cloud auf Basis von Magento 2 eingeführt, eine vollständig verwaltete Cloud-basierte Version unseres bevorzugten Betriebssystems. Hier ist eine wichtige Sache: Sie ist vollständig in die restlichen Tools von Adobe integriert. So können Sie Ihren Adobe Commerce Cloud-Shop mit den Analyse-, Marketing- und Werbe-Clouds über die erstklassigen Funktionen der besten Adobe-Produkte reibungslos verbinden. Mehr Erweiterung: Adobe hat noch mehr Funktionen wie ein Dashboard zur Steuerung der E-Commerce-Strategie des Kunden hinzugefügt und ist erstmals in den Amazon-Marktplatz integriert, von dem aus Benutzer direkt über die Commerce Cloud-Schnittstelle verwalten können.
Magento Alternativen
Es gibt viele Ansichten und Meinungen im Internet, welches der CMS-Systeme das beste ist. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrags möchten wir Ihnen einige sehr beliebte Unternehmen vorstellen: Shopware und WooCommerce. Alle Systeme haben ihre Hauptfunktionen, Sicherheit, Leistung, Kosten und sogar Produktmanagementstrategien. Lassen Sie uns einen kurzen Blick darauf werfen!
WooCommerce
Es ist ein großartiges Plugin für die WordPress-Plattform. Das sehr beliebte Unternehmen betreibt fast 400.000 E-Commerce-Websites. WooCommerce ist eine gute Wahl für Geschäftsinhaber ohne vorherige E-Commerce-Erfahrung. Es verfügt über alle notwendigen Funktionen, um einen Online-Shop zu eröffnen und Ihre Karriere zu starten. Die Hauptmerkmale sind: Unterstützung einer unbegrenzten Anzahl von Produkten, fortschrittliche Funktionalität des Erweiterungssystems, eine große Anzahl von Premium- und kostenlosen Themen, und schließlich können Sie fast jede Zahlungsmethode wählen.
Shopware
Fakt ist: Sie ist die beliebteste und an der stärksten wachsenden Plattform im deutschsprachigen Raum. In den letzten 17 Jahren hat sich Shopware erfolgreich auf dem E-Commerce-Markt etabliert. Shopware ist vollständig Open-Source sowie Magento, und es erlaubt Geschäftsinhabern, eine Website von Grund auf neu zu erstellen und jeden Online-Shop zu modifizieren oder zu erweitern. So gibt es in der Community eine knifflige Frage: Welches, Magento Shop oder Shopware, ist benutzerfreundlicher? Ohne genaue Überprüfung ist es gut hinzuzufügen, dass Shopware vollständig getestet ist, um Tonnen von Traffic und Bestellungen zur Prime Time verarbeiten zu können. Dank der Shopware-Tools können Sie zusätzliche Server für bestimmte Aufgaben hinzufügen, was Ihrem Geschäft hilft, weiter zu expandieren und bessere Responses zu archivieren.
Manchmal ist es nicht einfach, einen Gewinner für Ihr bevorzugtes Online-Geschäft auszuwählen, da keine einzige Plattform die Bedürfnisse jedes einzelnen Benutzers vollständig erfüllen kann. So müssen Sie mehrere Punkte wie Leistung, Sicherheit, Support und Ihr Budget in Betracht ziehen – entsprechend Ihrer individuellen Anforderungen.
Fazit
Magento Shop bietet eine hervorragende Möglichkeit, Ihren Webshop aufzubauen und anzupassen: Ihre Produkte zu verkaufen und Millionen von Kunden auf der ganzen Welt glücklich zu machen. Durch die Integration neuer Funktionen und Dienstleistungen schuf Magento starke Marketing- und Entwicklungslösungen, die andere Plattformen nicht immer auf höchstem Niveau umsetzen können.
Nachdem Magento die gesamte Community aus dem Unternehmen heraus geschaffen hat, hat Magento seinen Kunden einen erstklassigen Support geboten. Vom Multitasking bis zur Flexibilität macht es das E-Commerce-Geschäft aktiv und produktiv. Neben den Kunden, die es wegen der vielen Möglichkeiten lieben, schätzen Entwickler seine Flexibilität, weil sie über den Tellerrand schauen können.
Wenn Sie immer noch daran zweifeln, dass Magento die richtige Lösung für Ihr Unternehmen ist, oder Sie sich nicht trauen, auf die zweite Version zu migrieren, hier ist ein Plan. Hinterlassen Sie eine Anfrage, und wir helfen Ihnen, die Perspektiven von Magento für Ihr Unternehmen zu ermitteln.

где так предательски легко
June 10, 2020 by JeffreyPed

мню, еще в юности эта фраза встретилась мне в какой-то книжке, и я долго не знал, что принадлежит она Оскару Уайльду. Мысль меня тогда поразила, как все парадоксальное. Потому что мы-то жили согласно поговорке «по одежке встречают, по уму провожают». Здесь все было понятно: как ни наряжайся, а глупость не скроешь. И вообще, дело не во внешности, а в истинных твоих, то есть внутренних достоинствах. Взрослые говорили: главное, какой человек.
При этом глубоком убеждении мы все же тщательно следили за своей внешностью. В юности человек круглосуточно не сходит с подмостков. Поэтому надо выглядеть. Иначе зачем мама старательно перешивает для меня куртки старшего брата, а я свои непослушные волосы мучаю бриолином? Нет, все имеет отношение именно что к чему-то главному во мне.
Вернее, во мне все главное, потому что все — мое, и мой внешний вид, голос, жест и есть Я в самом при этом неоспоримом своем проявлении. И ни одна девочка не согласится с песней, что вот, мол, «не родись красивой, а родись счастливой». Каждая хочет быть красивой и знает: это и есть самый короткий путь к счастью. А дурнушки пусть читают на школьных вечерах Заболоцкого про то, что такое красота: «Сосуд она, в котором пустота, или огонь, мерцающий в сосуде». Скучно и нужно только для тех, кому не повезло.
Фраза пришлась кстати. Вот, например, в книге или в кино сразу видно, когда появляется предатель или бандит. Руки у него потеют, улыбка фальшивая, брюки и рукава куртки короткие, наигранный смех, а взгляд при этом отводит в сторону — обдумывает, как бы лучше обмануть. Остальные герои просто наивные, не сразу замечают. Но мы-то видим сразу. Да и в жизни тот, кто нам неприятен, имеет, как правило, отталкивающие манеры, внешность и даже фамилию. По манере одеваться легко можно определить, кто щелкопер, а кто кинозвезда.
Но все мы еще при этом и идеалисты, ибо свято убеждены в собственной нравственной непорочности. Искренне верим в то, что говорим, и думаем, что думаем то, что думаем в данную минуту, а хотим того, чего хотят все хорошие люди на земле. Тут и соображать ничего не надо — достаточно посмотреть в глаза, которые ведь никогда не лгут (эта поговорка годилась).
Боже, с какой наивностью и бесстрашием можно было тогда предложить посмотреть в глаза и как хороша была жизнь в лучезарно-одномерном мире!
А саксофон поет, вздымая звуки, Который честно говорит
