One would think that Tim Hortons, a Canadian morning coffee seller, would be the cleanest and most sanitized place to purchase your morning coffee or breakfast but you’re sadly mistaken – hear me out. For starters the average age a Tim Hortons employee is between the age of 15 and 24. I ask you, what does anyone in that age group know, realize, contemplate or take seriously  regarding germs and bacteria growth? Well apparently quite a few of them to but I’d still presume less than 20% care about it. If I’m correct in my estimate that means 20% of those under-aged and over-aged Tim Hortons employees aren’t too concerned with general or aware of how easily diseases can be transmitted That leaves you, them and myself open to bacterial illnesses through the following behaviours […]

LASIK or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis is a surgery, used to change the shape of the cornea in order to achieve better vision. Through this, vision correction for farsightedness, nearsightedness and astigmatism can be done and the person can be free from using the glasses or contact lenses. This procedure has gained popularity of late, as it is painless and usually the patient gains a good vision within twenty-four hours. The Surgical Procedure During the procedure a circular flap is made in the cornea with the help of laser and small tissues are removed through an excimer laser after which the flap is place back. This is done to reshape the cornea so that there would be better focus of light on the retina. How Costly is LASIK? LASIK eye surgery is costly, […]

I think it’s rather grotesque and highly surprised that people in general haven’t caught on to this. We’ve managed to catch on to the fact that its unsafe and unhygienic to openly store your toothbrush in your bathroom, but for some reason we’re still coughing and sneezing into our hands, bacteria laden hankies, or the more lately our sleeves. No ones uses the hankie anymore; people have finally become self-conscious of sneezing into their hands, especially in public but so many people believe it’s OK to sneeze into their sleeve. I have seen posters, recently in establishments showing people how to properly sneeze and yes, the little man is sneezing into his sleeve! Damn that! Cough or sneeze into the inside of your shirt A cough or sneeze generally only gives us a […]

Machining is a craft where craftsmen use precision power tools and tools for cutting to take a solid block of material and turn it into something with a very precise, repeatable geometry. One common example of machining is turning a chunk of steel into an engine block. Another common example is using a lathe to take a piece of wood and turn it to make an intricately curved table leg. Machining is used on metal, woods, and various types of plastic. The places where this highly skilled craft is done are machine shops. Machines Machining in the 21st century is computer controlled in large part. This is done for objects that must adhere to extremely rigid geometric specifications (like engine blocks). But traditional machining still takes place. The main processes taking place in […]

Lionfish, a popular aquarium fish in the US has established itself firmly in Atlantic Ocean habitats, threatening local native species. Commercial food fish such as snapper, grouper and sea bass are at risk.

Destination Key West! It might be just me, but I think Key West is about as much fun as a place can be. There are excellent restaurants, world famous watering holes, a complete array of water-sports in the warmest, clearest water in the US, an interesting history reflected in the architecture; and year round great weather. If you haven’t visited the Southernmost City, allow me to introduce you to some of my favorite spots and things to do. First stop will have to be the ocean; this sub tropical island is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean with its warming Gulfstream on one side, and the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico on the other. You can go deep sea fishing along the deep waters of the Gulfstream or find a guide for […]
