Terminal Mesothelioma Cancer-How to Recognise a Dying Mesothelioma Victim
When the mesothelioma victim begins to show signs of imminent death, it is the time to for the relatives and friends to come around to say final goodbyes to their loved one. One after the other, the family members and friends might spend time with the patient, holding hands, talking to the patient, or just sitting quietly by the patient.
<br>
<br>It can also be a time to perform any religious rituals and other activities the patient desires before he/she passes on. It is a chance for many families and friends to express their love and appreciation for the patient and for each other.
<br>
<br>This also the time to plan for what to do after the death of the patient, so that the family will not be confused about what to during this very emotional time. If the patient is in hospice, the hospice nurse and social worker will help you. If the patient is not in hospice, talk with your doctor about it so that you will know what to do at the time of death.
<br>
<br>These are some of the symptoms that will be seen in a dying mesothelioma cancer patient:
<br>
<br>1- Changes in body function
<br>
<br>•profound weakness,usually the patient cannot get out of bed and has trouble moving around in bed
<br>

<br>
<br>•less and less interest in food, often with very little food and fluid intake for days
<br>
<br>•trouble swallowing pills and medicines
<br>
<br>•more drowsiness--the patient may doze or sleep much of the time if pain is relieved. May be restless and pick or pull at bed linens. May be hard to rouse or wake. Anxiety, fear, restlessness, and loneliness may worsen at night

<br>
<br>•mouth may dry out (see the next section on changes in secretions)
<br>
<br>•may no longer need some of his or her medicines, such as vitamins, replacement hormones, blood pressure medicines, and diuretics (unless they help make the patient more comfortable)
<br>
<br>4- Changes in secretions
<br>
<br>•mucus in the mouth may collect in the back of the throat (This may be a very distressing sound to hear, but doesn't usually cause discomfort to the patient.)
<br>
<br>•secretions may thicken due to less fluid intake and build up because the patient cannot cough
<br>
<br>.
<br>5- Changes in circulation and temperature
<br>
<br>•• arms and legs may feel cool to the touch as circulation slows down
<br>

<br>
<br>•hearing may decrease, but most patients are able to hear you even after they can no longer speak
<br>
<br>7- Changes in breathing
<br>

<br>
<br>-Still immovable eyes with fixed wide gaze
<br>
<br>-Open fixed pupils of the eyes, even in bright light
<br>
<br>-Loss of control of bowels or bladder function as the muscles relax

<br>
<br>If the patient dies at home, caregivers are responsible for calling the appropriate people. Regulations or laws about who must be notified and how the body should be moved differ from one community to another. Your doctor or nurse can get this information for you. If you have a hospice or home care agency involved, call them. If you have completed funeral arrangements, calling the funeral director and doctor are usually all that you have to do.

How to Design the Most Effective Banner Stands
Every tradeshow exhibitor knows that the success of a tradeshow depends on the quality of the display. One aspect of a trade show displays that is effective at drawing in visitors is the banner stand. Banner stands permit an exhibitor to display their products in a professional and eye catching manner.
<br>
<br>The following is a list of tips to designing an effective banner stand:
<br>
<br>1. The banner stand must catch the visitor's attention. Use a "catch phrase" that will draw in visitors. It should be short and large enough for people to quickly read. It should state something that will make the visitor want to learn more about the product or service.
<br>
<br>2. The information and images should not be placed right at the bottom of the banner stand when they first glance at a banner. People tend not to look at the bottom of posters and banners. Many professional exhibitors suggest putting the website URL at the bottom as once the visitor is interested, he or she will read more. Make sure that all of the important information is placed at eye level. Remember to leave space around the edges. Spacing is usually just a few inches.
<br>
<br>3. Do not put too much information on the banner. People will not stand there and read every word. It should be short and to the point. As well, it should be easy to read and not full of images. The banner stand is supposed to bring visitors to the display, not give them all of the product details.
<br>
<br>4. Do not provide a variety of different messages on the stand. Put your most important message on the banner that will capture people's attention. It has to be a statement that arouses curiosity. You can provide other key information in the form of an information pamphlet.
<br>
<br>5. Graphics should be professional and high quality. It should relate to your product and be tasteful. Unprofessional designs will not attract visitors. If you cannot create a professional design yourself, you should hire a professional graphic designer. As well, the graphics should have a high resolution.
<br>
<br>6. The use of color is important in a banner stand. You want the banner stand to stand out, but not in a tacky way. If you have a colored logo, the color of the stand should match it. It will help visitors remember your brand.
<br>
<br>7. The picture you use should attract visitors. It should also be relevant to the product and company. It should be tasteful and pleasing to the eye.
<br>
<br>A banner stand is an important element of creating a great tradeshow display. The key to a creating a memorable and positive banner stand is producing an appropriate and professional message, graphics, picture, positioning, colors, and catchy slogan. You want your banner to stand apart from the other displays so that you will attract visitors walking by your display. The memory of the banner should stay with a visitor long after they have left the tradeshow.

Warning Signs of a Hard Drive Crash
<p>A hard drive crash is not the worst thing that could happen to a computer. It is when the drive crash brings all your important files to oblivion. Before it happens, make sure that you back up all your important files. Also, it would be wise to be observant of the early signs of a hard drive crash.</p><p>Here are some of the warning signs of a hard drive crash:</p><p>Blue Screen of Death</p><p>One of the most distinguishing characters of a crashing drive is when you see the "Blue Screen of Death" even once. It is a prelude to a more terrifying scenario- a hard drive crash. BSOD's (Blue Screen of Death) occur when there is a serious problem with either software or hardware. It could be caused by anything from a corrupt and dysfunctional program, software incompatibility, registry errors, and damaged drive, among many others. If you see the BSOD even once, prepare to backup all your important data. You're never sure of when the drive would crash.</p><p>Clicking Grinding Noises from the Hard Drive</p><p>Usually, a hard drive sounds smoothly under normal circumstances. When you hear the drive clicking or grinding, it means that the spinning of the Read/Write heads are very close to the magnetic platters. This is a bad warning sign of a crashing drive.</p><p>Computer Reboots on its own</p><p>On typical cases, the computer could only do what it was commanded to do. It wouldn't shut down on its own. But in some cases, it happens that the computer reboots on its own. This could be because of many different factors that are mostly hardware issues like an overheating processor due to very low ventilation. In some cases, it's disk drive issue.</p><p>Windows Freezes</p><p>Sometimes, it happens that the windows suddenly freezes. It doesn't do a single command, like exit or minimize windows. Your mouse and keyboard might not work, too. The solution for this is to restart the computer, and most of the time it solves the problem. A Window freezing is just a minor sign of a drive crash.</p><p>"Hard Drive is not formatted"</p><p>In rare cases, an error message displays "Hard drive is not formatted". What you can do is try restarting the computer, it may solve the problem. In case that you encounter this error message, never try to reformat your drive because this will surely erase all your files, including your operating system.</p><p>Error loading Operating System/ Missing Operating System</p><p>This is a bad sign that your hard drive is thread away to crashing. In fact, I would say that it's a drive crash, but with professional help, your files could still be recovered.</p><p>In instances when you encountered these warning signs of a drive crash, be smart and back up all your important files. You can also try fixing windows using Scandisk or try to repair windows using available software utilities.</p><p>Property of RecoverMyPc Inc.</p><p>Ara Pekel invites you to visit <a target="_new" href="http://www.recovermypc.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.recovermypc.com</a>.
