Not the flaws of the human variety, this work has a more physical focus. It concentrates on those warts caused by the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). This study also exhibits a more specific point of interest. It does not look at all the different types or even subtypes of warts. While humans may suffer from multiple varieties of these infections, this is not the focal point of this book. This would involve more than this work is currently prepared to undertake. There is a passing reference to sexual warts. This is a matter of differentiation among the various species of viral-produced Warts. It is a recognition that HPV is the cause of a several diverse types of warts. However, the topic of consideration of this particular e-book is the noncancerous lumps of flesh found on the human body. These are the commonly found, generally painless variety of lumps and bumps we simply refer to as warts. Warts are without a doubt a common problem. A viral infection, they can and do affect both males and females at any age. Yet, warts do have a major target group. They are particularly prevalent among children and young adolescents. Most warts are not harmful per se, but they are blemishes on an otherwise flawless skin surface. Warts can cause embarrassment. A lively child may feel marked out and become withdrawn. A shy child will become even more shy.

Why not, it seems a lot of people have them. Tattoos can be sexy, just look at Angelina Jolie and Rhianna. These ladies have much meaningful and strategically placed ink work. If this is your first time, it is not surprising that you may be feeling quite anxious about taking such a major step. Your first tattoo is an experience that you will never forget, especially the anxiety and nervousness that you feel before the needle ever touches your skin. When you begin thinking about getting a tattoo, you have quite a few questions, and no one has the answers that you need, or so it seems. The answers you receive only led to more questions. You will hear people telling you that you should ensure that your tattoo artist uses an autoclave, or that the clipcord and machine needs to be covered with plastic. This only confuses you more. You will quickly realize that you have a lot to learn before the drop of ink touches your body. On the other hand, the more you learn about tattoos, the more you will be in love with the idea of getting your own. You will become fascinated with all that body art brings. Several people fall so deeply in love with the art of tattooing that they are not satisfied with simply getting a tattoo of their own, and go on to pursue a career as artists themselves.

Do you know what you just breathed in? Do you think that there was nothing there but the air you need to breathe? Indoor air is clear and, if you are lucky, then it has no discernable unpleasant odor attached to it, but does this mean that the air is clean? Breathing is something you do unconsciously, and if you want to go on living then you do it regularly. Everyone does it day after day and year after year. Usually, the air that you are breathing in is empty and clear as far as you can see so breathing does not get much thought. True, you may roll up your car windows if you drive into a cloud of dust or if you detect the familiar whiff of some unpleasant smell outside, but other than that you probably do not give much thought to breathing. There are simply too many other things in life that demand your attention. You do not have time to pay attention to one more, especially when this is one thing that pretty much takes care of itself. After all, you spend most of your time inside and that protects you from all the pollution that is concentrated outside, right? This begs the question of whether or not you would be able to tell if there was something in the air that you breathe that you do not want to be there. Right now you are probably not sure. You may never have been asked what is in the air you breathe, but not knowing could be affecting you more than you think.

This method of exposure is pretty easy to understand, actually; it’s just word-of-mouth, but on the internet. “Viral” refers to the contagious nature of successful viral marketing. One person enjoys it and spreads it to two other people, those two spread it to two other people, and so on and so on. This is why someone can post a two minute video on Youtube, show it to a few friends, and within a week have hundreds of thousands of views. This can make advertising or just making a video for fun and getting it to a wide audience a work-free endeavour. You put something out there, everyone likes it, and they start sharing it with one another, posting it on their blogs and MySpace pages, and, if you’re really lucky, maybe it gets featured in a mainstream news outlet or even commented on in a late night talk show monologue. That is… as long as people do like it. It’s actually kind of tricky to stumble upon just the right idea, something that will hook the viewer and inspire them to tell all their friends “You gotta see this!” As such, we can’t guarantee any video you make will go viral, since nobody, not even the people who regularly reach millions of hits on their videos, know exactly what that special ingredient is. But, we can send you in the right direction, and you may just get that lucky break into the so-called collective consciousness.

That is the frequency with which home invasions occur in North America. About every eight seconds, a burglary or theft occurs in an American home. To put that in perspective, consider that just in the time you have been reading these few sentences, two to three homes were just invaded, shattering the lives of the people residing there. To make matters worse, consider this—many of those invasions occurred while one or more residents were home! Certainly considering this, it becomes evidently clear that protecting your home is about much more than the possibility of losing a few prized, but replaceable possessions. It is much more importantly about protecting the lives and health of yourself, and of all those most precious of lives living with you. If this scares you, it should. Sadly, there is no way around that. It is scary to think that some opportunistic criminal could do harm to you and yours and take for his or her own what you have worked so hard to earn. But there is a key in that last sentence: opportunistic. Break-ins and home invasions are almost exclusively crimes of opportunity. Criminals go where the pickings are easy and the fruit ripe for the taking. If you know how to deflate that opportunity, then you have a powerful tool in your arsenal of home security, and the best defense for you and your family.

Ideally, it is because you want to taste fruit fresh from the tree. There is nothing like the experience of biting into a freshly picked apple, cherry, peach or pear. You cannot beat a backyard fruit tree for freshness, availability and quality. If you plant your own fruit tree, you have control over such things as variety. You can choose an unusual variety of fruit not usually found in the store. Stores tend to stick to the more popular or obvious choices. They may not stock heritage varieties. The store is also not responsible for the conditions in which the tree grows. You are. As a result, you can ensure the fruit trees are free from heavy use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemical products. Another reason to grow your own fruit tree is the beauty and distinctiveness it can add to your garden. Trees are graceful and elegant or short and stocky. They are a natural force unto themselves. A fruit tree adds grace, beauty and shade. If you plant it in the right location, the tree will be a focal point, a specimen tree, a conversation topic. Basically therefore, there are 3 very good reasons for planting a fruit tree in your garden. A fruit tree is a source of fresh and tasty food. It is a focal point. It also provides shade during the hot summer days. In other words, a fruit tree is a multi-purpose plant. In the following chapters, we will describe how you can grow fruit trees to achieve maximum benefit.

Virtually all desktop computers and most other types of computers have a hard drive or hard disk drive. Some have more than one. Any device, from video recorders to cell phones, may have hard drives. These devices have one important task. They store the information on your computer. All of the changes in your computer on a daily basis, even a minute by minute basis, are stored on the hard drive. This is a permanent form of storage. For anyone that knows what it feels like to lose data, though, you may be wondering why the hard drive failed you? How can something that is supposed to be permanent actually cause you to still lose information? Before we can explain this, it is important to consider how this drive works. A hard drive is able to remember things even after the power has been turned off on it, whether on purpose or by accident, power failure or other failure.

Every day you are walking on eggshells. Life may be stressful, uncertain, or just plain bad. One thing is certain. It is never easy living with an alcoholic in your life. Living with an alcoholic means that you have a person in your life who you cannot count on. If this person is a spouse then you have someone who should have you as a priority but has alcohol as a priority instead. You cannot count on this person even for day to day tasks because you never know when the need for alcohol will interfere with their life and with yours and you will have to pick up the slack. Alcohol creates distance. When a person is so totally focused on obtaining and imbibing alcohol then that becomes the main relationship in that person's life. It is not their significant other, their children, or even their job. The one relationship is the one that they have with alcohol. All their desire, all their effort goes into their dance with alcohol. Everything else becomes secondary.

Home schooling is the process of teaching, or educating, your child from home rather than sending them to a traditional school setting. Many parents have found that schools to not provide enough individual attention. Lessons plans are not focused on the level of their child (both advanced and beginner levels are left out.) More so, some parents find that home schooling is just the natural thing to do. As you read through this book, keep in mind the importance of making this decision as a family. You will find that home schooling can be incredibly beneficial to you and to your family, but it is critical for you to all be committed to the process. This is, after all, your child's education. From this will sprout the beginnings of his or her life.

Yet, it is only the first step on the long road of parenting. While some mothers elect or must choose the bottle, many more still opt for breast feeding. They do so for a number of reasons. Most of the rationale behind breast feeding, however, focuses on the health benefits. When you feed a baby breast milk, you increase the chances of developing a strong immune system. Breast milk contains a minimum of 6 anti-infective agents against the most common childhood diseases and illnesses. Breast milk also contains many antimicrobial properties. Colostrum is one of several immune protectors for your child. As a result, breast feeding you baby may increase his or her chances of avoiding the risk of contracting juvenile diabetes, lymphoma and Crohn’s Disease later in their life. Some tests have revealed babies who have been breast fed have lower instances of developing asthma and allergies. When you breast feed your baby, you also provide him or her with the ideal nutritional balance. In fact, some experts maintain that breast milk can provide all the nutrients your baby needs up until they are one year old. Moreover, breast milk is less sweet than other milks and contains fat that is easily absorbed by the system. One thing you need to note is that breast milk is species specific. Each mammal produces the ideal breast milk for their infants.
