If you are planning to buy an existing house that has a home warranty, then it definitely gives you more confidence during the purchase of the house. After all, you have the full right to enjoy your new house completely free of any unexpected breakdowns of your home appliances.

A home warranty is the best protection against repair and replacement of the major home appliances. The service contract of American Home Shield is valid for a year. The contract is applicable to most of the major home appliances irrespective of their age or model. A service fee will be charged by the contractor every time there is a breakdown of the home appliance.

The basic coverage includes the following appliances:

– Heating Systems

– Water Heater – Built-in Microwave – Ceiling Fans – Plumbing Systems – Oven or Range or Cook top – Garbage Disposal – Plumbing Stoppages – Electrical Systems – Dishwasher – Exhaust Fan – Ductwork

You, as a home owner, can extend the AHS coverage to the following devices too.

As the home warranty plans of American Home Shield are affordable and trustable, the home owners find it safe to purchase their home warranties.

In most of the home warranty companies, the home warranty is effective from 30 days of purchase. But the American Home Shield home warranty is effective as soon as you buy it so you do not have o wait for a month for assistance in case any appliance breaks down. However, please note that you need to choose the policy that provides this kind of coverage. The plain vanilla plans offer standard coverage which covers the common household appliances including air conditioner, heater, washer, dryer etc. There are some companies that provide coverage to only selected appliances. For example, you can get the coverage for HVAC unit or just for water heater. As a homeowner, you will know which appliances are aging and need protection.

Before you buy the warranty, make sure you compare the plans, premium and deductible per repair incident. Some companies charge excessively higher deductibles.

Computer security, in basic terms means keeping your computer and the data that s in it safe and secure. More of our personal data is stored in or accessed from our computer, now more than ever before. Yet most people lack even the basic understanding of how to keep their computers safe and secure. By following just a few simple rules you can dramatically improve the overall security of your computer.

The first thing to understand is what exactly it means to be connected to the internet. Your computer connected to the internet is similar to your house in many ways. There are many ways into your house. Windows, doors, etc. The more windows and doors you have, the more ways someone has into your house. An open door doesn t necessarily mean you are going to be robbed, but it does improve the chances. Complicating matters, the ones that you think are locked, may not be because the lock is faulty or even the door itself may have an as of yet undiscovered flaw that would allow an intruder easy access to your home.

Your computer has many windows and doors, not all of which are locked. New flaws are being found everyday, often with the fix not coming until days after. Just like you wouldn t leave your front door unlocked, you shouldn t leave your computer wide open either. The first two things we will discuss to help with this task are installation of a quality firewall and regularly updating your installed software.

Updating your software is becoming easier these days, especially your Operating System. We don t have the time here to go into detail about the many ways to update the many software packages you may have or use, but generally speaking the software manufacturer will provide you a way to do this automatically via the internet. A good example of this is the Microsoft Windows Update feature. Be sure to get the updates for everything installed on your computer, nothing is too trivial.

There are two basic types of firewalls and both perform the same functions. One is hardware the other is software. A hardware firewall is probably included in your router if you are using one, while you may or may not have a software firewall installed. To continue our house analogy, a firewall is like building a wall and gate around your home and giving the guard at the gate instructions on who to let in and out. While this does give a great deal of protection, it is not all that is required. Someone may know a way around or under your wall, or even be able to coerce the guard into letting them in.

You yourself may unwittingly allow someone in. This could happen by simply opening an email or even simply surfing the net. Spyware, viruses, trojans and the like are ever more adept in their methods of fooling you and your guards. Emails may come from a trusted friend containing a dangerous virus without them even knowing it. This is where the next layer of protection comes in, anti-virus software.

Anti-virus software is a large category these days. Often these packages come as suites including a firewall and Spyware scanner. While most of these programs are very effective in their promised tasks, it is not wise to be lulled into a false sense of security by them. They are simply one layer in what should be a multi tiered protection plan for you and your computer. One last important note about anti virus software is to be sure that it updates on a regular basis. New threats come out daily so check its updates manually to be sure they have happened.

Back to our house analogy, we now have all of our windows, doors and other entry ways locked and fully updated. We have a wall around our house with a guard at the gate and we have software scanning everything that comes in past the gate. Sounds pretty good, but there s one last security hole we need to address, you.

A large percentage of infections are caused by the computer user themselves. The internet is an ever changing place that requires it s users to be educated about its use. I m not suggesting that you need to be a computer expert to simply read your email. I am however suggesting that you take some time to educate yourself on some of the dangers that pop up everyday, and the precautions to take in order to avoid them.

In summary, your computer is a powerful machine connected to one of the greatest things ever invented, the internet. This vast resource can be a dangerous place if you are not properly prepared and informed. Regular software updates, a good firewall, anti virus software and a little education are the basics in computer security. Having and understanding these basics will make your computer safer, more secure and more enjoyable.

The very much imminent threat to anyone using his or her computer online is the possible attacks or intrusions by Trojans, Viruses, Key loggers, Spy wares and etc. Some of the following preparations help you combat these threats in your quest to computer security.

Installing Antivirus Programs

Download and install one or more of the popular antivirus softwares and set them to update automatically. Viruses infest your computer from any of the input sources like diskettes, suspicious websites, emails and downloaded programs. Check these things every time you need to use them with these antivirus programs. You can also configure antivirus programs to automatically protect you whenever you connect to internet. If you are a professional user of internet, scan the whole system for virus as frequently as you want. These anti virus programs either destroy or quarantine viruses whenever they catch them.

Upgrade Your Operating System

Vendors of operating systems often upgrade their releases and distribute the upgrades as service packs or patches. The service packs plug loopholes in the operating systems and make them robust by taking care of bugs. Subscribe to continuous up-gradation programs which automatically download the patches as and when they are made available.

Treat Email Attachments with Due Diligence

Macros and viruses are distributed by their creators as email attachments too. Don t open the mail or download the attachment unless you are sure of the senders and you were expecting the mail. Suspicious mails and attachments could possibly contain self installing viruses. If the mail subject line sounds amazing or suspicious just delete it or scan the attachment prior to opening it.

Use Firewalls

Firewalls are by far the strongest internet/intranet protection for computer security. They are either hardware or software tools that effectively scan data transfers from and to your computer. You can set parameters to scan based on location and type of data transfer.

Password Protection

Use of stronger passwords is a great help in onsite computer security. Strong passwords are longer in length and combine alphanumeric combinations with upper and lower case alphabets thrown in. They are never the words from dictionary, names of places or humans etc.

Keep Backups of Important Data

Regularly make backups of important data, just in case.

Be sensible to check certificates when downloading something from an unknown site. Use file encryption facilities to curtail unauthorized access to your files. Finally, your office computer can be secured by password protection against manual intrusions.

Many may have recognized that baldness is becoming a typical situation among men and women in various age groups. Baldness or alopecia described as the condition characterized by extreme hair loss affects more or less thirty-five percent of the worlds population. Unknown by many, alopecia does not refer to excessive hair loss on the scalp alone. Instead, it refers to the intense hair loss in any or all the parts of the body where hair growth is expected.

Just like any medical condition, it is best to treat hair loss situations during the recognition of the earliest signs and symptoms. Early detection offers more options for hair loss treatments such as non-surgical hair re-growth choices that are affordable and not painful. It also grants higher chances of bringing back your natural hair.

To aid you in determining if you are one of the victims of alopecia, here are some of the preliminary signs and symptoms of the said condition:

Receding hairline

Men with male-pattern baldness a.k.a. androgenetic alopecia will observe a receding hairline at their temples in as early as their teenage years. Thinning hair and balding sections at the top of the head follows.

Thinning hair

In the case of women with female-pattern baldness, they experience thinning hair on the front and side portions of their head. However, unlike men with androgenetic alopecia, women do not experience receding hairlines.

Patchy hair loss

Hair loss in patchy patterns signifies scarring alopecia caused by inflamed hair follicles. The portions of the scalp in these patches are often itchy and painful as well. In some cases, patchy hair loss may also be caused by traction alopecia. Traction alopecia occurs between the sections of the hair that are pulled tightly when being styled.

Round and smooth patches of hair loss

If the hair loss patches are round and smooth, then you probably have alopecia areata. These hair loss patches do not only occur on the scalp. They can be observed on your beard, eyelashes, and eyebrows. Prior to hair loss, people with alopecia areata may experience itchiness on the infected areas.

A handful of falling hair

When a handful of your hair falls when you brush or wash it, then you should be wary of having Telogen effluvium. This is a sudden hair loss condition which may cause the hair to fall out when pulled even in a gentle manner. However, telogen effluvium rarely causes bald patches.

When you consult a dermatologist and he fails to provide immediate diagnosis after seeing the physiological symptoms of baldness, some hair loss tests may be performed. This includes the pull test (where a handful of your hair stands are pulled gently so as to assess your hairs susceptibility to hair fall induced by force), skin scraping (scalp and hair samples are taken and examined), punch biopsy (the extraction of a small section from your scalp or skin so as to examine its layers), and/or various screening tests for other diseases which may promote alopecia (diabetes, lupus, autoimmune diseases, etc.). Prior to the tests however, your dermatologist will examine your vital signs and your physical and medical history.

There are many people all over the world who have bad teeth. The thought of having their teeth and mouth full of wires and brackets prevents them from seeking treatment. No one finds the idea of having wires in their mouth appealing and hence is driven away from going to the dentist for their regular checkup as well. However invisalign is an alternative approach to the braces and wires that are generally used. Invisalign consists of acrylic (clear) aligners which are invisible.

Many dentists all over various states in the United States of America have begun to make use of invisalign on their patients. This has helped many people to visit their dentists and get the appropriate treatment that they require. Invisalign has been helpful and has helped a great number of people by giving them a beautiful smile and the confidence that they need for being able to live their lives happily. Invisalign is a tool that can correct any kind of spacing problems that people have in their teeth. Even if there exists crowding problems, these too can be fixed with the help of invisalign and people then do not have to suffer anymore.

Doctors have noted that the reason behind patients too loving invisalign is because the clear braces help them in perfecting their teeth and giving them that smile which they have always longed for. They no longer have to compromise on anything and are also free from having to suffer from the metal of the typical braces that are worn.

Traditional braces are something that most people are not very open to the idea of. No one likes the idea of their teeth being covered with a lot of metal wires and brackets. This particularly applies to children as they tend to get bullied from their peers at school. Adults too lose the confidence they need and feel as though they no longer have the professional appearance they once did. All these things are what dread people from having to wear traditional braces.

Invisalign helps by perfecting ones teeth without the use of metal. These aligners are invisible and are hence not visible to anyone else. This helps in people wearing these at all times or whenever need be and they are able to do so without having to worry about having to be self conscious when they smile or talk in front of company.

Getting invisalign is not a very difficult process. In fact, all that you are required to do is schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist and discuss what you are looking for. Considering what you want, the dentist will then inform you whether or not invisalign is the way to go and if it is the best treatment for you. If so, the further processes will start and you will be on the road to having perfect teeth.

The results that you get with the help of invisalign are absolutely remarkable and worth considering. The beautiful smile that results is breath taking!

Children may develop nasty habits such as thumb sucking, hair twirling, teeth grinding, nose picking, object biting, compulsive scratching, head banging, self-biting, body rocking, whirling, skin picking and even nail biting. For many, these habit disorders can be outgrown, with the help of parents, teachers or guardians, or even through their own will. There are a few, however, who seem to keep such habits, voluntarily or involuntarily, even during the adult years.

One of the most common habit disorder in adults is nail biting. A person who has this problem usually bites or chews on his or her fingernails whenever they are bored, stressed, anxious, or in a very tense environment. According to statistics, nail biting is fairly common in children and adolescents. However, 5% of them may retain the habit throughout adulthood.

Possible Causes Of Nail Biting

There are many schools of thoughts when it comes to the underlying causes of stereotypic movement disorder, which includes nail biting. Some experts believe that the most common triggers are stress, depression and boredom.

Other probable reasons behind nail biting and other habit disorders include drug use (particularly amphetamines and cocaine), major psychiatric disorders, brain diseases, mental retardation, and sensory deprivation (such as deafness or blindness). In Freudian theory, nail biting is seen as a sign of oral fixation.

Nail Biting Symptoms

It is but normal for children to display some degree of nail biting, thumb sucking and other disorders. Everyone did some nose picking and hair twirling during childhood years. However, when a habit becomes persistent and extreme, parents, friends and family should start intervening.

Aside from having very short fingernails, other signs that may suggest that one is into nail biting include:

1. Oral herpes

2. Paronychia (nail infection that affects soft tissues surrounding the nails)

3. Herpetic whitlos (lesions on fingers or thumb due to herpes simplex virus)

4. Apical root resorption

5. Damaged dentition

6. Gingivitis

7. Fractures or cracks to incisors

8. Warts around the nail bed

9. Nail fungus

Side-effects Of Nail Biting

Aside from embarrassment that you get from nail biting and having not-so pretty nails and fingers, there are a lot more negative, and potentially dangerous, side effects to biting your nails incessantly.

1. Mouth Infections

People who bite their nails usually do not wash their hands before biting. Thus, there is a high probability of getting bacteria and other harmful microbes inside the mount. Acute or chronic infection to the mouth, lips or gums is very likely to happen. Did you know that there are about 2,000 types of skin infections that were discovered in nail salons? Just imagine how prone you are to bacteria and diseases because of this habit disorder.

2. Orthodontic Problems

Nails are hard and quite difficult to chew. If you get into the habit of biting your nails, it is not impossible for you to damage your teeth, particularly your incisors. This habit may even affect your bite and the appearance of your teeth. Aside from having not-so-pretty hands, you could also have cracked and broken front teeth. This is not a sight to behold, especially in front of romantic mates.

3. Inability To Make Use of Hands

Let’s face it if your hand is always on your mouth, it would be difficult for you to perform tasks properly. In extreme cases, nail biting can really prevent a person from performing even mundane and ordinary tasks given to them.

4. Nail Infections

Nail biting can cause your nails and nail beds to weaken. Bacteria and fungi could enter these small cracks and lesions on your nails made by your persistent biting. Although some types of nail infections are easy to manage, others like nail fungus can be very hard to get rid of.

Speaking of nail fungus, an anti-fungi system that has been used by many to help eliminate nail fungal infections fast is Somasin.
