LinkedIn is Number One

LinkedIn Number One in the Top 10 Fast Growing High Tech Companies 2012 – 2022.

People in America are interested in work. They want to find new jobs, advance in their current positions, and contribute to growing companies as they enjoy the benefits that these firms can offer them. Given this, the fact that LinkedIn.com, the social networking site for professionals, is the fastest growing high tech company in the USA in 2012 is not so surprising.

LinkedIn is not only the Number One high tech company out of the Top 10, but also Number One of the Top 100 listed by Forbes.com.

Death In the Marching Band – Hazing Law Not Enforced

Although illegal in most states, hazing kills people in the USA when they join some groups.

These groups can be community clubs, military groups, churches, athletic teams, marching bands, places of employment – and who knows how many others?

Why are we not safe to join a group and enjoy our membership afterwards? Shy must some of us die from forced drinking (tied up and alcohol forced down our throats), fractured skulls, drownings, beatings, and other initiation rites.

Most US States (44) and the Philippines have anti-hazing laws, but they are not always enforced.  It is unthinkable that a young person might work hard to gain membership in a famous marching band, only to die because of it.

A new type of legal practice wants to end hazing across America - School and Hazing Law. Access this link for examples:

By 2012, 44 US States Had Anti-Hazing Laws; – Not All Enforced

Mushrooms for Cures and Sustainability

Mushrooms Treat Breast Cancer, Digest Plastic and  Make Sustainable Styrofoam

Research shows that taxol from the Pacific yew and other plants in combination with a fungus (e.g. mushroom) is effective in the treating several types of cancers.

More good news is that the second of two refinements of taxol used in chemotherapy also dissolves plastics completely away.

A third flash is that another substance found on mushrooms can be grown in containers (brick and concrete block molds) to create strong yet biodegradable building materials.

It looks like we have found cures for some cancers, cures for the Pacific Garbage Patch (there are 5 patches around the world) and a cure for non-sustainable building. Enjoy!

Chicken Pox Parties – Odd and Maybe Illegal

If you have children, be aware that Chicken Pox Parties can be dangerous and even illegal, depending on what is used to infect children so that “They get it over with.”  One urban legend is that chickenpox is less severe the younger the child is in years. Well, sometimes that is true, but this  “childhood disease” can kill children as well as the adults on which it acts more severely.  It can lead to MRSA. Case examples appear At This Link.

Didn’t we or some of our ancestors infect Native Americans on purpose with smallpox-infected blankets a couple of hundred years ago? Some of these chickenpox parties are also using infected blankets, infected clothing, and even old rags that contain the disease. People are taking their infants and preschoolers to some of these parties with the thought. “Well, it’s easier on them now and vaccination is too dangerous.” Is this the 21st Century or the 17th Century? As Dr. McCoy said about 1986 in Star Trek IV -” What kind of primitive medicine is this!?”

Illegal? – Purchasing lollipops made from the spit of children suffering from chickenpox started out as a BIG BUSINESS online, but was sharply curtailed in Autumn 2011 when it was declared a Federal Crime. Be careful about chickenpox parties found on Facebook and Craigslist. If your child or you can catch chickenpox there, what else might you catch – from dirty rags and spit?

Again, here is The Link to more information and the diseases that getting well from chickenpox can give you later in life.

Let’s eradicate all “childhood diseases!”

American Jobs Act – Low Paying Jobs?

What jobs will the American Jobs Act increase long-term?

One prediction is that it will be the low-to-moderate pay ranges that will experience the most increased jobs. Is this what we need?

The largest sector of Americans does not possess the postsecondary and professional education and certification required for most of the highest paid jobs advertised during this time period when the American Jobs Act appeared:  July, August, and September 2011.  Unemployment was 9.1% in those first two months.

Will tax cuts and incentives spur the adventurous among the unemployed to open their own businesses and create jobs for others?

What specific jobs will be increased? See the link above to find out.

Rretirement AND Good Jobs – Brevard County

High Paying Job$ in Brevard County, Florida

Brevard County, Florida was named by Forbes.com as Worst Place for Employment (not true today, though) and the very Best Place to Retire in America.

However, I find amassing numbers of jobs in Brevard County for Healthcare, IT, and positions related to the Aerospace Industry, the US Mission to Mars, and privatized space flight . Renewable Energy jobs are coming out of Melbourne FL nearby on and around solar farms across the Southeast USA.

The federal and local governments as well as contractors and various commercial concerns are serious about advancing the role of space flight in America’s future and new businesses and jobs are emerging based on this intent.

I find that the cities and towns of Brevard County are really all good for any of the stages of life and work. Lots of Ohioans are moving there for work, retirement jobs, and just to retire. Perhaps you will as well.

Practicing Medicine Without a License

Misinformation from False Practitioners is Going to Kill People!

Every day I see more and more Internet posts from people that have not participated in a single medical or psychological class and are not certified, are not involved in alternative medicine or psych systems, have never been in a support group, do not know what a support group is or does;  but yet, diagnose other persons with Severe Mental Disorders, often naming names of friends, relatives, bosses, coworkers, etc. Go to a doctor? Never! See a psychologist or psychiatrist for assistance with a friend? No.

These people are wrong, they are hurting others, and they do not want to be stopped. Here is what thay might do instead.

These individuals are gossips, adding symptoms of their own making, with stories to match real and imagined symptoms. Their behaviors online are shameful, rude, and immoral. Some of these behaviors are also illegal. In my state, medical diagnosis without a license is a Misdemeanor the first three times, then it becomes a Felony.

The nation needs a large new facility for these individuals that practice medicine without a license.
