Many press and internet reports recently have highlighted what seems to be a link between taking low dose aspirin every day and a lower rate of the development of some kinds of breast cancer.

Most of the research has looked at the risk for developing estrogen receptor positive breast cancer – and this is only one type of breast cancer – the other types might or might not be influenced by taking regular aspirin.

The scientists who looked at this question showed that the chance of developing oestrogen receptor positive breast cancer was significantly reduced by about 16% in people who took a low dose of aspirin daily, but was not reduced for those women who happened to take other anti-inflammatory drugs. Previous authors had thought that it might be an effect on inflammation that was important but this study seems to go against that – suggesting that it’s something to do with aspirin itself and not simply the drugs anti -inflammation properties.

You’ve finally bought your favorite art piece but don’t really have a clue as to where and how to display them? Read on and gain some tips on how you can creatively display your art.

Leaning art on the wall

The wall isn’t the only place where you can display art. You can simply place the picture on the floor and lean it on the wall or furniture. Try placing two art pieces of different sizes, one leaning over the other, partially covering the other one but still leaving most of the art visible.

Placing art on a shelf or gallery ledge

You can mount a gallery ledge on the wall and place pictures across the entire length of it. Randomize the arrangement of pictures by having some of them slightly overlap each other. Use pictures of different sizes and put the smaller sized pictures in front. This can also apply to placing pictures on the shelf above the fireplace.

Use creative hanging apparatus

Instead of mounting your art directly onto to the wall, use a hanging apparatus to hang your art. This can be done by mounting a horizontal bar against the wall close to the ceiling. Support your picture with 2 ropes. Tie one end of the rope to each corner of the picture and knot the other end around the horizontal bar. You can hang 2 or 3 pictures next to each other this way to make it look like a contemporary art gallery installation. Displaying art this way saves your wall from unsightly holes drilled into them.

The potential for carbon monoxide poisoning is a deadly hazard that can impact anyone. Your best defense is an understanding of the risks and how to minimize them.

What exactly is Carbon Monoxide (CO)?

This invisible gas has no scent or taste. Upon inhaling, it quickly travels via your bloodstream to the heart and brain, displacing any oxygen. Unfortunately the symptoms of low level exposure simply resemble the flu, and the problem is not always attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. Common side effects include lethargy, dizziness, headaches, irritability, confusion, and nausea.

How is it produced?

Carbon monoxide is produced from the incomplete burning of a fossil fuel such as gasoline, wood, coal, kerosene, oil, or petroleum. Generally this process produces carbon dioxide, but if a lack of sufficient oxygen is available during burning, carbon monoxide results.

Want a new blanket, but cannot afford to buy one? Here’s 3 ways to get an inexpensive fleece blanket, ranging from “no sew” to “minimal sew” options.

Materials

The first thing you’ll need is your material. I recommend polar fleece, brushed wool, or any other fabric of a suitable weight and thickness for your requirements.

 

Measurements

Unless you have a speciality fabric store nearby, chances are your width will be determined by the maximum width you can buy. Measure the bed you wish to cover, and add an allowance at the sides and bottom for the blanket to drape over the edge.

As an example, a standard double bed mattress is approximately 74″ by 57″ (or 1880 cm by 1400cm). I would generally allow around 4″ allowance (or 10 cm) on 3 of the 4 sides. That means my fabric would need to be 77″ by 63″ (or 1890 cm by 1420 cm).

Pink is always a popular color for weddings. For the last several years, pink and brown have been an especially hot color palette, but this year, a new neutral has replaced brown as the top companion to pink. Take a look at these great ideas for using pink and gray as your wedding colors.

As strange as it may sound at first, the hottest color to hit the wedding scene this year is gray. Charcoal gray is especially popular for formal or evening weddings, pewter is pretty as a metallic accent, and dove gray is lovely for an afternoon affair. One thing that all of these shades of gray share in common is that they all pair wonderfully with pink. The soft feminine side of a rose pink keeps the neutral gray from becoming too austere, and the gray gives the girly pink a dash of sophisticated elegance. Together, pink and gray make an unbeatable wedding palette!

bridesmaid dresses are a great place to begin planning your wedding colors. Pink and gray are both easy to work with for your attendants’ attire. For an elegant evening wedding, try floor length charcoal gray dresses in a soft silk chiffon. It is one of the most chic bridesmaid dress styles of the season, and your ladies are sure to look graceful and sophisticated. If your wedding is in the daytime hours, think about opting for a pink bridesmaid dress. Something with clean lines would work best with the chic gray accent color, rather than a dress which is very frilly. To bring in the gray accents, try sets of pearl bridal jewelry in a dove gray shade. Bridal jewelry sets in a gray pearl look equally elegant on the bride, or she could opt for the softness of pink pearls. Beautiful, either way.
