The Herb Handbook: A Practical Guide To Using And Growing Herbs

“AMAZON BESTSELLER”

Botanically, “herb” refers to any annual or perennial plant with a non-woody stem. However, the term herb has come to cover plants that have a specific benefit to mankind. Some even consider them to be the highest quality food known to the human race. We have been using herbs for thousands of years, both for flavoring food and for healing. They’re versatile, easy to grow – either in the garden or in pots on the window sill – and can be used fresh, dried o

5 Common Small Business Growing Pains and How DNS Made Easy Can Help

Reston, VA (PRWEB) July 08, 2014

Growing pains: we all have them and none of us like them. Now, it’s time to talk about them.

We aren’t talking about becoming a teenager here, but the hard work and challenges that come with running a business. Owning and operating a company comes with many obstacles and, hopefully, many rewards.

DNS Made Easy experts tackle the five most common challenges and mistakes business owners run into while growing a company. Take a look:

Mistake #1: Plan for the best and forget the rest.

The website is up-and-running; orders and work are flowing in. Everything is going as planned. Then the website goes down. Downtime has a direct result on the bottom line. Take retail giant, Amazon, for example. The Seattle-based company went down for 40 minutes in 2013 and reported million in losses during that period.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy’s Elite Resolution Platform is a proprietary multi-tiered framework that creates localized server redundancy and scalability within the DNS Made Easy enterprise IP Anycast+ server constellation.

That means DNS Made Easy’s Automatic DNS Failover & System Monitoring solution can guarantee as soon as a website, service, or internet connection is offline, all traffic will be automatically pointed over to a secondary IP address, server, or provider set up at another location. DNS Made Easy offers the best uptime in the industry.

Mistake #2: The “I must do it all” attitude.

This symptom typically occurs when there is a lot that needs to be done combined with a lack of coordination and unclear roles. Running a business is a multi-faceted job and being all things to all people and doing all things in all jobs doesn’t cut it for long. This strategy might work to start a business, but it doesn’t work to grow one.

Remedy: Share the responsibility. Let DNS Made Easy monitor your systems for the business. Our system will check every two-to-four minutes to ensure a business’ primary IP is responding. If it isn’t, DNS Made Easy will notify the administrator immediately and take action to reroute the IP address until the issue is remedied. DNS Made Easy believes having zero downtime is expected and required in the DNS business.

Mistake #3: Growing alone.

This mistake piggy backs on mistake #2. Failing to see what’s in your blind spots, not interacting with like-minded people and ignoring advice all creates a business vacuum. And we all know from 8th grade science, nothing grows in a vacuum.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy doesn’t want you to face your issues alone. That’s why we created 24-7 support via online or telephone.

Mistake #4: Not using technology to your advantage.

Writing notes by hand on college-ruled paper might work in the short-term, but a thriving business needs to utilize all aspects of technology to stay on top. Gone are the days of the card catalog filing system and in are the technology times.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy operates Internet backbones with the largest and most reliable data providers in the business. Providing answers to each DNS request with complete redundancy is what we guarantee for each of the 8 billion DNS requests we receive each day. DNS Made Easy knows managing our full network from contract, to rack, to router, to switch, to name server is the only way to fully manage and optimize it for speed, redundancy, and scalability. We handle 100% of network management in-house.

Mistake #5: Not maintaining costs.

Expenses can quickly get out of hand. Business loans and growing costs add up fast, which is why keeping a handle on expenses is important early on.

Remedy: DNS Made Easy starts our services package at .95 per year for a small business. That includes 5 million queries per month, two-factor authentication, 10 domain names and more.

About DNS Made Easy

DNS Made Easy is a subsidiary of Tiggee LLC, and is a world leader in providing global IP Anycast+ enterprise DNS services. DNS Made Easy implemented the industry’s first triple independent Anycast cloud architecture for maximum DNS speed and DNS redundancy. Originally launched in 2002, DNS Made Easy’s services have grown to manage hundreds of thousands of customer domains receiving more than 8.0 billion queries per day. Today, DNS Made Easy builds on a proud history of uptime and is the preferred DNS hosting choice for most major brands, especially companies that compare price and performance of enterprise IP Anycast alternatives.

(PRWEB) September 30, 2010

A recent report published by the National Centre for Biotechnology entitled “Can a Statin Neutralize the Cardiovascular Risk of Unhealthy Dietary Choices?” will offer some hope to the processed foods industry which is fast losing out on customers due to the popularity of healthy eating lifestyles such as the paleo diet. “The world is waking up to the perils of unhealthy eating, people are choosing alternative dietary habits and realizing that junk food might be cheap, but medicine can be a whole lot more expensive”, explains Nikki Young, Paleo Cookbook author.

Walking out of McDonalds, Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant and being handed a pill that supposedly counteracts the cardiovascular related dangers associated with the ambush of salt, sugar, preservatives and trans fat contained in the average fast food meal might sound far fetched, but this is exactly what a recent report by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information has documented. With fast food restaurants already offering free condiments, investigators have cited the possibility of also offering a free statin with each meal – a statin being an ipid-lowering medicine which assists in lowering blood cholesterol levels.

The negative press surrounding bad food has, despite corporate and governmental attempts, become so powerful that people are avoiding particular foods, one such food being high-fructose corn syrup. In light of this, the Corn Refiners Association recently asked a panel of food experts in the New York Times to offer branding alternatives in a bid to change public perception. Corn Syrup, Corn Sugar, Glucose-Fructose Corn Sweetener and High Fructose Corn Sugar are all under consideration.

“High-fructose corn syrup is a cheap sweetener and a major promoter of insulin resistance and obesity in society”, says Nikki Young. “People should aim to avoid highly processed foods containing sugars, additives, preservatives and other harmful ingredients. Following a nutritionally dense diet by consuming the foods nature intended us to eat is what the body strives for and depends on for good health and disease prevention”.

‘Life friendly’ diets such as the paleo diet are increasingly becoming a thorn in the side of processed food companies who rely on those addicted to sugar, ready made meals and dangerous food additives such as MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) to sustain their industry. As more and more people turn back towards the diet of our ancestors and become liberated by less illness, weight loss, better sleep and more zest for life, profit margins continue to be squeezed for fast food companies worldwide.

It is insane to conceptualize a world where humans take medicine to combat the fact that they are poisoning the body every time food is consumed. In a global culture that already relies far too heavily on medicine to function in everyday life this is surely a dangerous road to pursue.

Nikki Young elaborates, “There should only ever be one reason people take medicine, and that is where natural treatments are unable to assist the healing process. Natural medicine listens to the body and works in tandem with the body’s resources to find and treat the root cause of the problem. For good health, the best thing is to eat foods that are compatible with the design of human genetics, not nutritionally deprived foods which promote high cholesterol and high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and continuous ailments”.

There is no substitute for a healthy lifestyle consisting of regular exercise and healthy eating. Providing people with complimentary statin will only encourage unhealthy eating and contribute further to obesity. Surely the money would be better spent educating people on diets and healthy lifestyles like paleo, which is already providing increased quality of life and eliminating the need for regular medicine amongst hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.
