How Ultraviolet (UV) Light Water Filters Work
Using ultraviolet (UV) light to purify drinking water is a concept that has existed for more than one hundred years. Despite its early beginnings, the science behind UV disinfection is complex. Understanding the fundamentals of how UV is able to purify drinking water requires a relatively deep understanding of physics, chemistry and biology. The average consumer of this technology rarely has the science background to fully grasp how a "light in a pipe" will be able to protect a water supply from dangerous microorganisms. This often leads to consumer frustration which in many cases is exacerbated by faulty information provided by ill-equipped salespeople. Often the outcome of this frustration is...

Here are five podiatry myths that numerous patients have reported, and the truth behind them. "Cutting a V notch into a toenail will relieve the pain of ingrown toenails." The reality of this myth is that cutting the nail does not affect the angle of the toenail growth.

The truth is that it's very possible tto walk on a broken...

The knee is the connecting point of a total of three bones in our legs: the lower end of the thigh bone or the femur, the upper end of the shinbone or the tibia, and the knee cap or the patella. Other parts of the knee are the cartilage or the shock absorbing cushions in between muscles, the tendons or the cords connecting muscles to bones, and the ligament or the bands connecting our bones to other bones.

Laser X-Rays may be Able to Detect Cancer

Although the X-Ray (or radiograph) has long been a basic medical imaging tool, this approach has always had the drawback that the images produced are not exact. The images require extremely careful analysis and interpretation. Scientists have been researching...

Butchering Customer Service
All businesses strive to provide excellent customer service, but there's a fine line between service and servility. Extreme servility is called obsequiousness. Now there's a word for you to know. Even if you don't know what it means, you've experienced it-maybe in a restaurant, a clothing store, a car dealership, anywhere where employees hope that by virtue of their attention they will make sales or garner large tips. It's one thing to be attentive and meet customers' needs; it's another to be so present and "in their face" that customers think you want them to adopt you. A few months ago, I ordered a gift of steaks and roasts from a meat mail order business for some family members. When no...
