Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease or Syndrome as it is also known is a painful condition which affects children and adolescents. It can however continue into adulthood. It usually strikes during a growth spurt and affects millions of active children every year- up to 30% of overuse injuries in this age group, according to international research.

The presenting symptom is typically intense knee pain. It usually occurs during sporting activities such as running and jumping and also every day activities such as going up and down stairs. Pain varies with activity  and is often intermittent . In the acute phase the pain can be  severe and continuous in nature. The impact of the condition  can be very  disabling and may even affect both knees at the same time.

It is usually quite straight forward to tell if your child has Osgood-Schlatter’s. Firstly the child will usually be aged between nine and sixteen and going through a growth spurt. The child will be active, maybe playing sports on a regular basis. The final indicator is a painful lump at the top of the shin bone at the front of the knee.  It is usually very tender to touch.

There are a limited variety of treatment for Osgood Schlatters commonly available to sufferers. The present standard treatment advice is to treat the symptoms of Osgood-Schlatter’s Disease. That’s Rest, Ice, Compression to reduce the pain and swelling, anti-inflammatory medication and modification of sporting activities.

This advice does not address the cause of the problem. This means that it is likely that the condition will return when the child resumes sports.  When Osgood Schlatters returns the lump can increase in size and the soft cartilage starts to change into bone making the knee lump permanent. This will have future implications as over half of patients with these lumps will have pain whenever they kneel down for the rest of their lives.  A number of chronic sufferers may need to have bony splinters surgically removed from the front of their knees. Eventually painful symptoms suffered with activity will subside  as they finish their growth spurt.   So if you do nothing it will finally settle  in two to three years, although the lump may remain.

There is a new treatment which has been scientifically proven at The European College of Sports Science Conference; Lisbon Portugal, 2008. The treatment is known at the “Strickland Protocol” and the results showed that : “All patients achieved a full loading to the tendon in an average of 20 days (±12).  This was significant to 98% (p

The “Strickland Protocol” is readily available online and comes with support throughout the treatment from Jenny Strickland, a leading Chartered Physiotherapist and creator of the protocol. The child can become pain free and cured of Osgood-Schlatter’s  Disease within 3 weeks. The protocol consists of several minutes of simple home treatment each day. However the child must completely refrain from all sporting activities during the treatment and the protocol must be strictly followed to achieve the quickest results.

Portable Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguishers enable suitable trained people to tackle a fire in its early stages, if they can do so without putting themselves in danger.
All workplaces should be provided with means of fighting fire for use by people in the premises.
In the event of a fire, using the correct extinguisher is as important as discovering the fire itself. All modern fire extinguishers are clearly marked as to the type of fire they should be used on, so you can tackle small fires safely and easily.
Where the fire risk is not confined to a particular location, e.g. Class A fire, the fire extinguishers should be positioned on escape routes close to the exit from the room or floor, or the final exit from the building. Similarly, where the particular fire risk is specifically located e.g. flammable liquids, the appropriate fire extinguisher should be placed on a dedicated stand or hung on a wall at a convenient height so that employees can easily lift them off (at about 1m for larger extinguishers, 1.5m for smaller ones, to the level of the handle). Ideally no one should have to travel more than 30m to reach a fire extinguisher. If there is a risk of malicious use you may need to use alternative, and more secure, locations.
Fire extinguishers manufactured to current standards (BS EN 3-7) are predominately red but may have a colour-coded area sited above or within the instructions, denoting the type of extinguisher. Most older extinguishers manufactured to previous standards, have bodies painted entirely in a single colour which denotes the type of extinguisher. These older extinguishers remain acceptable until they are no longer serviceable. However, old and new style extinguishers are not to be mixed on the same floor of a building.
There are 5 main fire extinguishers currently in use which are listed below. Each fire extinguisher has instructions stating what type of fire it is suitable to be used on.
The five main types of fire extinguishers are as follows:

• Water
• Foam (AFFF)
• Dry Powder (ABC rated)
• Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
• Fat Fryer (Wet Chemical)

No single type of extinguisher is totally effective on every kind of fire. So before buying a fire extinguisher, it is vital to look carefully at what type of fire it has to be used on.
The following chart shows you what type of extinguisher can be used for the different types of fire risks. Each risk type has a letter associated with it (A, B, C, F), with the exception of electrical risk. Fire extinguishers for sale in the UK are all marked with some of these letters to indicate to the buyer which risk the extinguisher can be used for. Next to these letters the buyer can also see numbers, which indicate how strong the extinguisher is in the relevant category – The higher the number, the bigger a fire the extinguisher can tackle.
 
Water Fire Extinguishers are good for tackling fires involving burning paper, wood and soft furnishing (Class A fires), as the water soaks into the materials and cools them while extinguishing the fire. This type of extinguisher does not contain harmful chemicals but has a low fire fighting rating. Due to this water fire extinguishers are usually large and heavy to overcome their lack in fire fighting power. It is also important to remember that water is an electrolyte and conducts electricity. Care must therefore be taken with regards to accidental use on exposed power cables or electrical appliances.
Foam Fire Extinguishers also called AFFF FOAM (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) for class A & B fires creates a smothering film of foam over the fire, which starves the fire of oxygen. The foam also penetrates porous materials and cools the fire through evaporation of the water content in the foam. As the foam creates a foam carpet on burning liquids like petrol, foam extinguishers are particularly suitable for flammable liquids and areas where manmade fibres in soft furnishings and carpets might liquidise under the influence of heat. Foam extinguishers are safe if accidentally used on any electrical equipment.
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Fire Extinguishers contain only pressurised CO2 gas and therefore leave no residue. This type of extinguisher is suitable for use on fires involving burning liquids (Class B fires), but is also an excellent solution for computer equipment and other electrical appliances as it does not cause damage to the electrical items and does not cause the system to short circuit. It is important to remember that when using CO2 extinguishers there is a possibility that once the smothering CO2 gas has floated away the fire may re-ignite if the source of the fire is not removed (e.g. switching off the power supply) or if the materials are still very hot. Please be aware that CO2 extinguishers that are not fitted with double-lined swivel horns may cause your fingers to freeze to the horn during the deployment of the extinguisher. CO2 extinguishers are NOT suitable for deep fat fryers.
Powder Fire Extinguishers, also called ABC powder extinguishers or dry powder extinguishers, are suitable for fighting class A, B and C fires. ABC powder extinguishers have a very good fire fighting capacity, but the powder does not soak into materials and does not have a good cooling effect on the fire. This can result in the fire re-igniting if it is not properly extinguished. Care must be taken when using powder extinguishers that you do not inhale the powder. Powder extinguishers should therefore not be used in small, confined spaces where there is a risk of inhaling the powder. The clean up after applying a powder extinguisher is very difficult and the powder causes damage to soft furnishing, carpets and computer drives etc. So a careful balance has to be struck between the generally quite cheap but powerful powder extinguishers and the cleaner, but less powerful and sometimes more expensive foam/water (with additive) extinguishers.
 

Wet Chemical Fire Extinguishers are especially designed for use on kitchen fires involving burning oil and deep fat fryers (Class F fires). These extinguishers come with a special, long application lance which allows you to safely lay a cooling layer of foam on top of the burning oil. They can also be used on Class A fires, although their fire fighting power for general risks is not very strong.
Alternatively, a (kite marked) fire blanket can be placed over the pan containing the burning oil/fat. The pan should then be left to cool down. NEVER carry the pan outside or lift the fire blanket after a short period of time to inspect the burning oil as the introduction of oxygen through this action can reignite the fire. NEVER use pressurised water, powder, CO2 or foam extinguishers on fires involving burning fat, as the pressurised jet can cause the burning oil to be carried out of the pan onto surrounding surfaces causing more damage and a larger fire to tackle.

Application of fire extinguishers

Water and powder fire extinguishers
Aim the jet at the base of the flames and briskly sweep it from side to side.
Foam and wet chemical fire extinguishers
For solids, aim the jet at the base of the flames and move it over the area of the fire. For liquids, don’t aim the foam straight at the fire – aim it at a vertical surface or, if the fire is in a container, at the inside edge of the container.
 

Points to note before tackling a fire

• Don’t attempt to use an extinguisher on a fire unless you feel it is safe for you to do so.
• Position the extinguisher where you can get to it quickly, like the hall.
• Buy extinguishers that you can carry easily.
• Don’t position extinguishers over a heater or fire, but do fix them to the wall, so they are out of reach of children but still easily accessed.
• Read the instructions and be familiar with how to use your extinguishers. Don’t leave it until you have a fire.
• If you require the extinguishers for a business (including letting premises) you must have them serviced once a year.
• If you are using a fire extinguisher on a fire, keep yourself on the escape route side of the fire.

Fire Extinguisher Maintenance
Fire extinguishers do not have an indefinite life, even if they are never actually used. Their contents can lose pressure, the inside of the canisters are prone to rust and corrosion if liquid contents, and the canister seams can be weakened by continual high pressurization.
Seals can deteriorate, valves can stick, and fire extinguisher can become knocked and dented simply by being part of a building’s fixtures and fittings
Fire extinguisher maintenance and care in accordance with the Code of Practice stipulated in British Standard 5306 part 3 should be integrated into your premises Fire Risk Assessment and is, in effect, a legal requirement of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Annual inspections (or more frequent for high risk locations or corrosive environments) by a competent person will involve inspecting every fire extinguisher, and identifying those extinguishers which need re-pressurising, require replacement parts, or which have reached the end of their useful lives.

If you think that there is no way for you to escape the rat race in your nine-to-five job, then think again. You are beginning to dread the job you have been employed in for a long time and the only reason why you are staying is because of the assurance of a steady monthly income. If you find yourself in this situation then you might want to consider starting your own business. Among the many types of businesses that you can choose from, a hot dog cart business is the most lucrative of them all. It is said to be the most lucrative business to date because you can start one without investing a lot of money.

One feature of the food cart business is flexibility and affordability. By this, it means that since it is not a permanent structure you are not required to spend on construction material that are needed to build the establishment and you can move it to any location that you want.

Another advantage of having a hot dog cart business is that you are able to stay away from the hassles that a regular nine-to-five job entails. You do not have to worry about pleasing your superior or your colleagues too, because in a food cart business you are your own boss. Following this advantage there is no more need for you to adhere to a strict work schedule because you control the business and you can work at any time that you please.

The most important and favourable reason for you to start a hot dog cart business is its ability to weather even the worst effects of global recession. It is a fact that because of global recession, many people are forced to cut down on their expenses. However there is one thing that remains to be in demand and cannot be taken for granted and that is food. Regardless of the crisis, everybody needs to eat and considering the affordable price of a hot dog, people will always crave for it. Also, the fact that hot dogs have become part of the American lifestyle can never be discounted. The hot dog cart business has been existing for many decades now which only proves that people will always look for it and are willing to try new varieties of hot dogs.

Before deciding on opening a hot dog cart business, here are some things that you must do:

Conduct a research on the hot dog cart business. Look for magazine articles and online resources that talk about the business. You can also find these information on electronic or e-books. Most e-books provide a step-by-step guide that will help you create a business plan starting with providing you a rough estimate on how much capital you will be needing to start the business. Take time to find the best deals in terms of purchasing the necessary equipments. Depending on your budget, you can find advertisements that will tell you where to buy used or new food carts and the other needed equipments. In searching for the best deals, don’t just look for the cheapest price. Make sure that even if they are offered at a low price, their quality is at par. Do not settle on mediocre equipments that are likely to break down after a short period. You might find yourself spending more for repair or repurchase that would mean additional expenses.

Give out survey questionnaires to the people in your area who are your target market. This will help you determine their tastes and preferences. This will give you a picture of the recipes that you will create. Also include in the questionnaire a range of prices they can choose from so that you will have an idea on how much your target market is willing to spend for your hot dogs.

Search the market for the best suppliers where you can buy the ingredients to your product. Make sure that the suppliers you contact are reliable and that they have a good business standing. This will assure you of the availability of your supplies at any time.

Conduct an ocular inspection of your area. Find the perfect spot for your business. Consider the volume of people that are in that place. You must always remember that the number of sales you make will depend on the number of people that are present in your location at any time of the day.

Once you have completed your research, you need to accomplish some things that your city or municipal government will require you such as securing a health permit, a vendor’s license and a food handler’s cards. These things can all be done in a few days.

Health is the foremost concern of the government which is why they require all businesses to secure a permit that will ensure the cleanliness and safety of their products. In some cities and municipalities, they require business owners to get a vendor’s license. Without this, you may not be allowed to operate your business so it is important that you apply for this before you open your business. You would not want your operation to be shut down while it is at its peak. You also need to attend classes that will teach you proper food handling. Once you pass this class you will be given a food handler’s card. All these things will assure your customers that the food you serve them is safe and that you are operating a legitimate business.

Lastly, you must think carefully of your recipe. Make sure that your business offers something that long-established hot dog stands and restaurants do not have. It will also be very helpful if you offer other foods aside from the hot dogs. Think of strategies as combo meals and other upsell techniques that can help rake in more profit. Do not limit yourself to offering only one recipe. As your business grows, make sure that you have new things to offer to your customers so that they will keep coming back.

Do you like to spend most of your time outdoors? Do you enjoy meeting people and interacting with them? If your answer to both these questions is a resounding “yes”, then the hot dog street vending business might just be what you’re looking for. Go here for the best information on running a hot dog cart business.
No doubt Americans just love hot dogs. Did you know that during the warm weather months from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Americans eat more than 7 billion hot dogs each year? It’s unbelievable but true! And did you also know that more than fifteen percent (15%) of the hot dog sales came from hot dog cart vendors?

So don’t let this chance pass you by. It’s simply too good for you to let it slip away. The opportunity for you to make money in the hot dog street vending business is mind boggling!

Fortunately for you, among the food businesses, the hot dog street vending business is one of the least costly to set up and operate. But due to huge demand for brand new hot dog carts, their prices have started to rise to the roof. In fact, an extra large hot dog cart just fresh from the factory with all the bells and whistles could set up back by as much as ten to twelve grand!

But don’t despair. You still have other options. There are plenty of used hot dog carts that you can even order online with prices that range from $500 to $2,000 for the base models and $3,000 to $12,000 for the deluxe units. However, there are a number of things that you’ll need to carefully consider before getting your used hot dog cart such as:

• Do you plan to get a stainless steel or fiberglass unit?
• Do you prefer a mini hot dog cart or an extra large model?
• What equipment and accessories for your hot dog cart will you need?
• Do you already have a good location in mind for your cart?

Once you’ve taken these things into consideration, you’ll more or less have an idea on the kind of used hot dog cart that you’ll be getting. And just to make sure that you’re getting the best bang for your buck, here are the things you need to do:

1. First, make sure that your used hot dog cart meets state and local standards such as NSF certification. The local health department can assist you with all the requirements. You can also go online to check if these requirements may already be posted on the health department’s website under the heading “mobile vending”.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with certification requirements, NSF International (www.nsf.org) is an independent, non-profit organization that provides protection to consumers like yourself by certifying products and writing standards for food, water, and air as well as consumer goods.

1. The next thing you may want to consider is how many pans you’ll need for cooking. You’ll obviously need a pan to cook the hot dogs in and another pan to put the cooked hot dogs in.

Now you may also want to consider extra pans for selling other kinds of sausages. You should also consider getting a grill with the hot dog cart. Majority of customers prefer their hot dogs cooked on a grill. This will also work to your advantage since it produces an irresistible aroma that will lure more of your customers.

1. Your hot dog cart should also have adequate storage space for your condiments and buns. There are models that have built-in ice chests to hold your items that need to remain chilled. The ice chest normally has a drain tube that goes right out of the bottom of the cart to make it easier to dispose of the melted ice.

1. An umbrella may be a requirement in your state. But even if it isn’t, you’ll probably want one anyway. The brightly colored umbrella brings attention to your hot dog cart. Passersby getting a glimpse of your umbrella will immediately know that it’s a hot dog cart. An umbrella will also provide you with some shade and a convenient place to hang your chips. The chip clips will hang directly from the umbrella.

1. You’ll also need to make sure that your used hot dog cart has a sink for washing your hands as well as provisions for hot water. Most carts have this installed and the hot water comes from the copper tubing that coils around the area of the burners. So when you’re cooking your sausages, you’re also heating some water.

1. Finally, check whether your used hot dog cart supplier will be providing any after sales support especially when it comes to parts and labor for on-site repairs. Don’t settle for verbal assurances from the supplier. Have the warranties and guarantees in writing to save you all the trouble in the event that there’s something wrong with your unit.

No doubt that this is an excellent business to operate, whether on a full or part time basis. Believe it or not, hot dog vendors can earn up to $3,000 to $4,000 or more in a month! So what are you waiting for?

Bankruptcy is a legal process whereby an individual or business attempts to either eliminate or reorganize their debt so they may move forward with a ‘fresh start.’ This course of action can allow debtors to stop foreclosures and repossessions, end harassing creditor phone calls, stop creditor lawsuits and eliminate debt.

The legal code that dictates how people take advantage of this course of action does not require an individual or a business to retain a bankruptcy attorney to represent them; however, the Code is incredibly difficult and contains many nuances that an untrained individual may find overwhelming, complicated and even tiresome. Furthermore, it is a good idea to have a bankruptcy attorney with you when you attend the Creditors’ Meeting. This meeting is where a court appointed trustee will ask the debtor questions about personal questions about your finances and an attorney can advise you on how best to answer the questions.

While there are many chapters within the code, the most commonly used is Chapter 7, Chapter 11 and Chapter 13. The chapter you may be qualified to file depends upon certain criteria such as: are you filing as an individual or a business, is your goal to eliminate or reorganize your debt and whether or not you have the ability to pay back your creditors. An attorney can help the debtor determine the answers to these questions and then assist them to file the bankruptcy chapter that is most appropriate for their circumstances.

The most prevalent options for eliminating or reorganizing debt are to file Chapter 13 and Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is designed to be filed by businesses owned by a sole proprietor, but can be filed by an individual if certain requirements are met, and is advantageous for the debtor in that they can retain their business by agreeing to a plan of reorganization. The high point for the debtor in this arrangement is that they can stop foreclosure proceedings and may even be able to clear up any mortgage default proceedings brought on by missed payments. Generally, Chapter 13 requires the proprietor to repay all or a portion of the debt over a pre-determined time span which is normally between three to five years.

While many people feel that filing for Chapter 13 is a black mark against their name, life really does happen. They can find themselves in dire financial situations due to unexpected medical bills, family emergencies or unexpected layoffs; and discover that the only option available to them is to file a bankruptcy chapter in order obtain a fresh start on life. There is no shame in this course of action; however, in order to obtain the best results in such a life changing endeavor, procuring a reputable bankruptcy attorney who will assist one in the process is the first step toward freeing oneself from financial bondage.

Credit card processing over the internet has increased many businesses profits over the years. It’s a great idea when you think about it. Instead of sending checks though the mail, and cash on delivery, you can purchase products over the internet and businesses will receive the payment instantly.

Businesses who have a website online set up to accept payments over the internet have merchant accounts. A merchant account is a bank account that is established for businesses to accept debit or credit card payments.

Merchant services are a service that allows businesses to accept credit card payments. This is a form of credit card processing.

Merchant accounts really come in handy when you are selling products over the internet internationally. Businesses are able to accept and receive payments instantly.

Merchant accounts and merchant services really come in hand. They have taken over the internet world. It’s really convenient for the consumer and businesses. The consumer can sit at home and buy whatever they need. You don’t have to leave and go anywhere. It’s a nice thought right! Well, businesses can do the same thing. It’s easier for everyone all the way around.

Merchant accounts are great for installment payments. You may have a few items on your website that are a little pricey, but that’s where these a merchant account come in. You can give your customers the choice of getting an account so that they are able to make payments on the items.

It’s really good to think about and look into a merchant account and payment gateway. This could be great for your business and the customers you will bring in as well. You could also save yourself a few extra bucks by using this system as well. It will cost you less money to accept credit card payments than to copy and print invoice receipts and mail them.

From the beginning online dating sites, like www.LuvFree.com were made to meet each other in a wider circle. In today’s world many people don’t have limits meeting soul mates in their city or even country. It’s worldwide. After the first year of operation our free dating site we mostly had males from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and women are from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

In the beginning of 2008 on site were registered more then 2000 women from Russia, Ukraine and Belarus and a little bit more than 2000 men from Canada, USA, UK and Australia. At the same time with a number of registrations of women from former USSR was lots of scam as well. Dealing with scammers was very difficult. We were deleting one account in mean while scammers were creating 10 new. To tell the difference between scammers and real users was complicated until we started to have additional forms for those countries. The results were shocking. We noticed that most of profiles of women from Russia and Ukraine were put on our website like Russian marriage agencies. Unfair Russian marriage agencies are trying to find new clients on free dating sites. Co-workers from these agencies are writing each other by using girl’s name without them knowing that. Swearing in love from girls names. While man is buying agency’s help and arrives to meet the girl that has no idea that he exists. Usually these meeting cost money and disappointment for the man since he’s coming to see the loved woman but meets a complete stranger. In this case you can not have a relationship. That’s why LuvFree had been worked on to delete all Russian marriage agencies scam. Profile of single women from Russia and Ukraine is less than 500. Besides that the rules have been made more serious. From that moment the meeting between American man and Russian women are not domination anymore on LuvFree.

After the middle of 2008 on our free online dating site the most of women profile are Philippines women. We received way less complaints form “Philippines brides” then from “Russian brides”. Most of complaints were on “web-cam girls”. Women were inviting men to see their paid erotic show on web-cam. With Philippine women it is clearly seen their economic motivation. Philippine women are looking for partner in USA, Canada and men from USA, Canada are looking for good looking, young women from Asia. This action of meetings can be called American-Philippine on our free dating site. From the beginning of 2009 we started to have women who are registering from Europe, USA, Canada and UK. Now the women profile dominated from USA. For given moment (beginning of 2010) on our site we have more then 4100 women from USA, around 900 women from Philippines, 700 women from UK, and more then 400 Russian women, 300 women from Ukraine and 27000 single men.

From the start of LuvFree we can make fact and say 3 steps to international meeting. American man with Russian women, American men with Philippine women and worldwide-local meeting. If before people were interested in international meeting, then now many visitors of our website looking for meeting in their countries and even cities.

There is no denying the fact that carpets have become popular and essential for most households. Well, it is true that rightly chosen carpets can add to the existing beauty of your home, but with them come certain issues. For instance, carpets can provide dust mites a perfect environment, and this can cause dust allergies. Luckily, you can find professional carpet cleaning London companies to help you in this regard.

 Carpet cleaning services are not hard to come by, but choosing the right company is the real catch. However, if you pay attention to a few important things, you will be able to find the best carpet cleaners for your project. One important thing that you need to consider is liability insurance. Cleaners should be insured so that you don’t have to worry about getting your property damaged in course of cleaning.

 The next thing to check is their pricing structure. It is important to get information about their rates well in advance. Ask them to give you a realistic quote. Professional carpet cleaners will always offer an exact quote, which keeps you from worrying about shelling out more money than expected. You can also read some reviews and customers’ feedback to judge the potential of a company.

 All these factors are important to consider when opting for carpet cleaning services, but it is also a good idea to know what will happen if you are not completely satisfied with their cleaning services. Here, you can choose those companies that offer money back guarantee, but do keep in mind that most professional cleaning London companies won’t accept your claims after 24 hours. So, keep all these things in mind when searching for a professional cleaner. It is not hard to find the best one, but you have to do some research to make a good decision.
