If you never heard of a Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, be happy that you don’t need it. This is a device which helps people who suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest survive, through the prevention of further SCAs. The Sudden Cardiac Arrest is a deadly condition which attacks without prior warnings and which kills about 325,000 people every year. If you want to know if you are at risk of suffering from such serious illness, you can visit the website of St. Jude Medical, where you can read more about the risk factors and you can get other useful information on the treatment methods. Unlike many medical websites, this one has a user friendly language, so it is easy to understand by regular people, not only by doctors.
Get yourself educated, so you can know what you can do if it happens to you.

You probably remember my articles about back pain and its implications on living a normal life.
Well, at least I thought that. Yesterday I’ve experienced the worst of all back pains in the world. Let me tell you how it started: I was doing some jobs in the garden, taking care for some vegetables I’ve seeded this spring. At a point, I bended over to take something from the ground and I had a big surprise, as I wasn’t able to get back at the vertical position. So there I was, in the middle of nowhere (my garden and my indoor greenhouse are far away from houses), not being able to stand anymore. Walking was also out of question. I had no mobile phone with me, so I had to figure out a solution to get back inside my house.
While I was thinking, a neighbor just passed by. I called him, and luckily he heard my voice and came to see what happened. After exchanging a few words, my neighbor ended up by taking me over his shoulder and carried me like then the whole way through the mud of the garden, into the house.
Getting inside the house, I called an ambulance and when they arrived I realized that I had tons of dirt under my fingernails.
Do you want to know why? Because my neighbor is a 9 years old boy, and he’s not so tall, so my hands were on the ground while he was carrying me. Funny, huh?

The new fashion of our era is for people to publish their thoughts and ramblings online. This is rather cheap and entertaining, so the entry barrier is very low.
However, some persons can’t afford event the $10 per year for owning a .com domain name and $2 per month for hosting it on a shared hosting plan.
Luckily, there are a lot of places where everybody can publish for free. Here you can find the top 5, ranked according to my personal preferences:
- Hubpages: very easy to join, and very easy to publish. There are pre-set modules for text, video or photo content, and you can add also RSS feeds or Amazon or eBay modules. It is a revenue sharing place, so you can make money with your hubs
- Blogger: easy to join, easy to publish, if you don’t want a lot of tweaking of the layouts. You can monetize your pages and keep all the earnings
- Squidoo: easy to join and publish, but containing a bit too much advertising – it is a shared revenue model, but you don’t know hwich share of the earnings you get
- Tumblr: easy but a bit boring, with no modules.
- Google pages: interesting, easy to use, convenient
