Dear Fellow Blogger,

As bloggers, you and I have the unprecedented ability to raise awareness about important issues by simply posting about them. When we act on behalf of a cause and then write about it, we dramatically increase the positive impact we can have on the world.

Today, I am asking you to take action on behalf of all the people around the world living with a disability. Just like those of us who are able-bodied, they simply want to live a happy and productive life. Help us eliminate the barriers to participation and the prejudices they face every day by taking a simple action. You can donate to an organization that supports people with disabilities, sign an online petition asking for equal access, make your blog 100% accessible. Then write about it. Tell others how important it is to make all the opportunities our world has to offer accessible to everyone. Tell them how easy it is to get involved and how good it feels to help others.

On July 24, 2010, BloggersUnite is asking bloggers from all around the world to unite in support of people with disabilities. Please join us! http://www.bloggersunite.org/event/people-first-empowering-people-with-disabilities

Thanks for reading. Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Jason Teitelman

When considering the type of mat that work best in your commercial kitchen should be taken into consideration all that abuse to bear mat. The challenge is to find a mat kitchen that will serve the needs of people in the workplace and improve their working environment. Issues such as comfort or ease of maintenance, security, drainage and safety for animal fats and chemicals must be addressed.

Food preparation and cooking environments, where food is handled are often areas where there are excessive amounts of animal fats, greases, water and cleaning products. In view of these areas is clean, or at least should be a priority as well as prevention of slips and falls and the comfort of employees. Some things to consider when choosing the best Kitchen mats are:

• Are the Kitchen mats under consideration mats rubber mats and vinyl mats designed for another application altogether (i.e. mat rugs, mat industry, dry mat anti-fatigue, etc.)?
• The mat in the kitchen has holes for drainage? If yes, the interior walls of the holes smooth?
• Are the mats kitchen has no evidence or Grease resistant qualities?
• How is the thick mat of cuisine? The thickness of pose tripping? Are the edges beveled mat?

Animal fats and frying oils areas related to the bakery and tend to cause a serious degradation of most of the mats, unless they are rubber. Nit rile rubber mats and Kitchen mats rubber mats and resistance to grease will do much better in a kitchen that any matting which is composed of a vinyl. Mat vinyl flooring are good for certain violent environments, but should not be used in areas subject to animal fats. It goes without saying that the mats should not be used in areas where food is prepared as fibers provide a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Many municipalities impose fines on restaurants that use mat mats in a kitchen environment.

There are many different types of mats on the market. Anti fatigue matting is a great sub – category of Floor Matting. Kitchen mats are a sub – category of Anti Fatigue Mats. Not all mat fight against fatigue should be used in a kitchen. Some mats are designed for dry, static environments, or industrial applications, etc.

Treadmills kitchen must have holes to allow liquids and food particles to fall below the surface of the walking belt. The holes or perforations should be smooth and not have a “mouth” at the base of the hole that captures debris. This unique feature will make it much easier to clean the kitchen, as the mat of debris and food particles will be along the mat and stay on the floor when the mat is made for cleaning. Every nook and crannies in the design of the mat is filled with debris, and it will be necessary to manually clean each puncture to reach the required cleanliness of a Kitchen mat.

Another aspect that should be taken into consideration is the weight of the mat. Kitchen rugs that are too heavy are difficult to manage, especially when fat. Any barrier to cleaning mats must be minimized to promote cleanliness. Heavy kitchen rugs that are difficult to clean will probably not cleaned the kitchen as often as mats which are lighter and have a better design.

How the thickness of the mat often have an effect on the weight of the mat. Thick mats kitchen May also pose a risk of tripping and generally more expensive. There are many qualities that should have fatigue mat to improve the fight against fatigue mat (i.e., resistance, rebound hypertension, etc.). In general, the mats are 3 / 8 “to 1 / 2″ thickness is ideal for a kitchen environment. In addition, since the mat is thinner, it will be cheaper, lighter to handle and pose less risk of tripping.

Please Help Quackwatch and Dr. Barrett

A personal Message from Robert S. Baratz, MD, PhD, DDS member National Council Against Health Fraud

Dr. Stephen Barrett has been a leader the worldwide struggle against quackery and health fraud for more than 35 years. In addition to publishing the weekly Consumer Health Digest, he has written and/or edited 50 books and manages 24 consumer protection Web sites, including Quackwatch, which has more than 100,000 page views per month and has won many awards for its accuracy and quality. Dr. Barrett also serves as a trusted resource for the media, law-enforcement agencies, educators, and thousands of individual consumers who contact him each year for help.

Quackery promoters have tried to counter his influence by libeling him and filing groundless lawsuits. One campaign has falsely suggested that he had lost his medical license.

http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/bolen.html
Another is falsely accusing him of being a habitual criminal.

http://www.quackwatch.org/11Ind/negrete.html

The legal fees and other costs of defending against this campaign, while partially defrayed by donations, have been much higher than the cost of running the sites.

Very few people have the courage and persistence to engage in the struggle against quackery. Dr. Barrett intends to continue, but can use help in defraying legal expenses. Quackwatch and its companion Web sites are important consumer resources. They are free to the public, but maintaining them requires the ability to deal with frivolous assaults by well-financed quacks and the special interests that profit from quackery. If you appreciate Dr. Barrett’s work, please make a contribution. Please give whatever you can.

For amounts under $50, or for contributions of any size from foreign countries, please use the PayPal link on the Quackwatch donations page. http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/donations.html It is not necessary to be a PayPal subscriber to do this. It can be done by anyone with a credit card, regardless of where you reside.

If you can give $50 or more and live in the United States, it would be best to mail a donation to:

Barrett Defense Fund

Chatham Crossing, Suite 107/208

11312 US 15-501 North

Chapel Hill, NC 27517

I’ve added my drop of money to the bucket; I hope you will consider doing so also. Every little bit helps.
