Dealing with any state or provincial nursing organization can be frustrating and I found I was NOT pleasantly surprised when I went to renew my VisaScreen certificate for another five years. I was first presented with the fact that in 2003,that I, as a Canadian Travel Nurse working in the U.S., would now need a VisaScreen certificate because of the increased surveillance of "foreigners" by Homeland Security post the 9-1-1 incident. While I appreciated that, and understand the ramifications of that most tragic event, I felt I had already paid my dues-literally and figuratively speaking by all the exams, money letting to agencies and cross examination by immigration officers at border crossings.

Losing weight, only to find it again...then losing it again and finding it again...and again and again: the cycle that plagues our modern society. The explanation for our modern health crisis is actually very basic. In our evolutionary history there were three major food groups that were very rare and precious in nature, and so human beings came to crave and, even lust, after them. Those coveted food groups are salt, fat, and sugar. One of them may occur quite abundantly in a given area in nature, but to have all three aptly provided in any natural environment is extremely uncommon. It was only through craving these critical foods that we had the instincts to hoard them or, at the least, to eat as...

The Cambrian rock layers are among the lowest and "oldest" layers in the geologic column yet are extremely rich in both number and variety of fossils. The layers below the Cambrian are virtually void of fossils. The Cambrian layer contains billions of marine invertebrate fossils. About 95% of all animal fossils are of marine invertebrates. These include mollusks such as clams and snails, crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters and cephalopods which include squid. The Cambrian...

Both Utah and Hokkaido boast 5% (or better) moisture content snow which means that for every 10mm of precipitation, a massive 200mm (20 centimetres or 8 inches) of dry fluffy snow will accumulate...
