Ergonomic Computer Chair

Workstations at the workplace are indispensable. Not only at offices but people of all age groups use computers at home too. If you are a person who sits on the computer for more than one hour a day then you must be aware of the pains in muscles and bones that make you restless most of the time. There is a need for ergonomic computer chairs that nurse our bodies while we work. What are these ergonomic computer chairs? Why should I purchase one? What are the features of an ergonomic computer chair? When we work at a computer for several hours a day pressure is built on our muscles and skeleton. Continuous pressure results in multiple muscle pains. Moreover, if ignored they can lead to repetitive stress injuries or carpal tunnel syndrome. All these pains and ailments are due to continuous tensing of muscles. Tension in muscles is caused due to bad postures we take during the course of the day. Thus, the need for ergonomic computer chairs arises. These chairs are built keeping user’s com...

Get Rid Of Fleas The Way To Do It

Summer is here and so are the Fleas!  Amid the joy of seeing the arrival of Summer, your headache of having to deal with fleas is really not something that you would look forward to. Many people have deemed flea control as an uphill task and some has even thought that it is simply impossible to get rid of fleas or even to keep them under a tolerable level.  Is that really true?

Hello From Chicago Part 1st Sessions

Chicago, Arlington House Youth Hostel, Friday, October 21, 6:05 am So here I am again, on another short excursion away from home. I’ve been awake for an hour already and decided the best thing is to get up and put my first impressions on paper. Since there is only a one hour time difference between Toronto and Chicago I decided yesterday I wasn’t even going to change my watch over. So when I came down this morning to use the free computer at the Arlington Youth Hostel in Chicago, I realized it’s not 7 am, but actually, only 6 am. Well, even better, that’ll give me more chance to explore. A trip to Chicago has been in the works for a while. I have been here twice before, once in 2001 with 3 of my friends, and once in April of 2003 to meet my friend Linda who I have known from back home in Austria since we are 10 years old. You realize you are getting old when you can say to someone that you have known them for 30 years… So Linda, who now lives in Indiana, and I decided to reunite in Ch...
