Asbestos not to touch it! Mesothelioma matters

Ill-effects and the shocking features Of Asbestos Siding and Mesothelioma

By Wade Robins

This article talks extensively about the use of asbestos as the material used in the siding of a building such as a school, business building, home or even on yachts. It talks of all the ill-effects of asbestos and urges users to be extra, extra cautious while installing it. If you are not sure about how to handle or aren't confident in your abilities of installing and preserving the asbestos yourself, consult a professional, before you start suffering from the side effects known to many states across the country that could casue you respiratory diseases.

Asbestos Sliding is a commonly used material for building homes. This material has been since the stock market crash of the 1930's. It is more than likely, you or your neighborhood friends have asbestos sliding used at their houses. Many home owners, which comprise professionals, developers and planners, have used Asbestos Siding as an integral part of their respective homes. The increase in number of people who use this tool is astounding, especially after all the difficulties and challenges the competitive asbestos industry faced.



Sales of Asbestos Siding flew out the roof between 1930 and 1970. A lot of people worldwide have considered this as a viable option because it was inexspensive and it increased the durability of their homes greatly. Sometime in the 1970's, researchers found out that asbestos siding had many ill-effects and was the main cause for respiratory disorders like Asbestosis, a condition where the lungs get scarred; Lung Cancer; Mesothelioma, a cancer of the chest lining and the abdominal cavity and other such deadly diseases. Soon after this discovery, sales of asbestos siding plummeted. After some time, its sale completely stopped.



Asbestos Siding - Is it right for your house?



Few people still consider asbestos siding as a viable option even today, despite its adverse effects on human health. The main reason for this is that it is more durable than any of its counterparts. Also, it is a fire-proof material. It is known that a few Cruise liners use asbestos walls to ensure that in case a fire does start somewhere, it doesn't spread too much, before it is extinguished by the crew members. In the recent past, a shipping disaster was averted due to the use of asbestos in its walls which retarded the spread of flames. Another advantage that asbestos siding has is that it increases the strength of the building material in which it is used. Asbestos has a mesh like structure, which improve the elasticity of the wall. In simple terms, if pushed, it will stretch more before it breaks. Also, unlike its counterparts, asbestos doesn't need an expensive paint to cover it. A simple coat of latex paint will seal its harmful contents and make it look soothing to the eyes. The asbestos can be removed just as easily and there will leave no trace behind. The only important point is that one needs to be careful while removing it, to make sure that the fibers do not come in contact with air, in which case it will pose a health hazard.

Asbestos Siding - Is it Safe?



One advice that I would give to the readers is that in case you already have asbestos siding installed in your homes, have a professional come and run a thorough check on it to know whether you need any repairs or replacements rather than tearing it down yourselves. This should reduce the risk factor associated with it. There are many professional who run these tests, and in case you want to go for a cheaper alternative, there are many asbestos removing groups which remove the asbestos siding for free. In case you are wondering how they will earn money from it, they are brokers who will sell it to developers in need of asbestos for a cheaper price.

Who is More Contagious? Viral Inviter vs. TrafficXplode 2.0 Review

Viral Inviter VS TrafficXplode 2.0 Review

If you have been around in the internet marketing world long enough you probably have heard of Mike Filsaime’s Viral Friends Generator. What it does is basically bribe the visitors to tell their friends about the site. In the early days, the interface of the VFG is just a few simple text boxes where visitors can type in their friend’s email addresses plus a simple submit button. This creates a win-win situation for both the site owner and the visitors. The site owner gets more traffic, the visitors get a free gift (something of value), everyone happy. However, things usually don’t turn out the way we plan; often time the site owners run into a problem where visitors do not type in valid email addresses so visitors get free gift but site owners get nothing.

There is also the unsettled discussion on where to best place the tell-a-friend page would be on a page. After opt-in? After sign up? After log out? The list goes on and on. In the early days, the tell-a-friend script doesn’t give you much flexibility on location of the tell-a-friend page plus the restriction for the kind of website that the tell-a-friend script can be used with. Those days you only see marketing sites use this kind of tool and most of the time you will find tell-a-friend script after opt-in pages or sign up pages. So, folks in the internet marketing niche kind of got used to it after a while so the tell-a-friend script later became “invisible” to the visitors.

Recently, web 2.0 has been very big. One social site started to implement similar idea to the tell-a-friend script where members are given a chance to invite their friends to come join the social site. And here is the trick, users can just login to their email accounts and invites friends on their contact list through simple web interface. And now almost all of the social network sites use the same trick. The “trick” is responsible for the viral growth of those social network sites.

So now, the tell-a-friend script follows the social network industry. Nowadays, the email contacts importer is a basic requirement for every tell-a-friend script on the market, it comes down to the question of how many email clients does the script support. Often time, the promotion material will say something like “grow your site like Myspace and Facebook” but we all know that this kind of statement is a cliché.

In this Web 2.0 world, these are the basic requirements that every tell-a-friend system should have

• Support as many email clients as possible including popular clients such as Gmail, Yahoo, Msn and AOL.
• Integrates flawlessly with any kind of website, regular site, e-commerce, marketing, blog, forum, mini-site and etc.
• Customizable look and feel
• Automatic gift rewarding system
• Scalability : the ability to use tell-a-friend system on several sites
• Reliability : the deliverability of the emails that are sent by visitors
• Extra features such as statistics, tracking

Other things to consider when it comes to picking the right tell-a-friend system is whether or not you need to install the script on your server. Often times the tell-a-friend script is offered in PHP/MySQL platform, so those who are running a windows server won’t be able to take advantage of the script. It also applies to those who use cheap a shared hosting account because the provider usually doesn’t allow certain scripts to run or the provider might ban the account due to excessive use of the server resource by running those scripts. And another thing about shared hosting is the bandwidth issue. So, there are advantages and disadvantages when it comes to installing your own script.

There are two latest tell-a-friend systems that will be available very soon, Viral Inviter by Norman Freeman and TrafficXplode 2.0 by Jaratvit R. So let’s take a look at how these two compare
