Be honest.  What comes to mind when you think about being put on hold after calling a business?  Granted, it’s not something most of us spend quality time pondering.  But the average person would probably equate it with the same fondness of heart they feel toward, let’s say being stuck in rush hour traffic or waiting in the lobby of the dentist’s office.  Wouldn’t it be great to hear some interesting trivia or perhaps an occasional spot of humor?  You can bet on it!  And so are an increasing number of savvy businesses.

As more companies are harnessing the power of on hold messages than ever before, message on hold production has come more fully into the mainstream of the advertising industry, and has been progressively shedding its “elevator music” image by mixing in a dash of wit here or a pinch of wisdom there.

Fading is the day when the only option callers on hold have is listening to a uniform style presentation of products and services.  And, though the straight ahead approach will always be perfectly valid, and is the only practical choice for some types of businesses (more on that in a moment), many callers seem to enjoy a brief exodus from the often too serious workday.

The challenge for any company when considering the content of on hold messages is to keep callers on the line, remind them that they haven’t dropped off the company radar and of course, simultaneously generate sales, or at least spark enough interest in products and services to get them talking to salespeople.  If you own a business and have ever mulled over the idea of creating custom messages on hold, remember, when adding-in humor or trivia it needs to be kept in good taste.  As in any other customer interaction a little discernment goes a long way.  Read more...

Do we really need to have animal testing?
Is it really necessary that we have animal testing to make our lives better? When do we say no? Is there a difference between testing on mice and testing on dogs or monkey’s? Can’t we live happily without these tests?
Is it Ever Acceptable?
Animal testing is always a touchy subject. I generally find myself on the wrong end of both sides of the argument as I disagree with animal testing on what I consider non-vital experiments like make-up products and cosmetic medicines (medicines for symptoms that are not critical or dangerous). But when it comes to life saving drugs, I believe they must be tested before being introduced into the open market. The thought of an AIDS cure that has not been tested is a scary prospect, is it could lead to a cure causing unexpected complications and leaving the patient in a worse condition than before the treatment.
The Reason behind Animal Testing
Animal testing is done for the development of effective and safe drugs for mankind. Animal research in fact plays a vital role in virtually every major medical research and development process. The reason behind animal testing stems from the fact that this type of research offers valuable insights into the working of the human systems. Moreover health agencies and medical societies around the world recognize the need for animal testing. Tests are carried out on animals carrying a particular disease as part of the animal testing process. There are also instances when animals are created with certain types of disorders in order to test certain type of drugs too.
Everyone has it’s own life
Life is equal whatever who it is. Dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, sheep, even ants have their own life. As long as they have their consciousness, they should be respected totally, especially the animals who can communicate with human like dogs, monkeys and so on.
However, in the Medical research institutions, someone take animals testing to prove how effective about some new medicine. The mousses and rabbits are often the victims. Who can consider their feelings? All about these is so horrible.
There are many ways to improve the development of medical. Did it must take some innocent life away? Is it fair for them? Why human must so selfish to get the advantage from other lives? We are all members of the nature. Let’s learn to respect the other animals who living with us together on the earth.

How many times have you turned to music to uplift you even further in happy times, or sought the comfort of music when melancholy strikes?

Music affects us all. But only in recent times have scientists sought to explain and quantify the way music impacts us at an emotional level. Researching the links between melody and the mind indicates that listening to and playing music actually can alter how our brains, and therefore our bodies, function.

It seems that the healing power of music, over body and spirit, is only just starting to be understood, even though music therapy is not new. For many years therapists have been advocating the use of music in both listening and study for the reduction of anxiety and stress, the relief of pain. And music has also been recommended as an aid for positive change in mood and emotional states.

Michael DeBakey, who in 1966 became the first surgeon to successfully implant an artificial heart, is on record saying: “Creating and performing music promotes self-expression and provides self-gratification while giving pleasure to others. In medicine, increasing published reports demonstrate that music has a healing effect on patients.”

Doctors now believe using music therapy in hospitals and nursing homes not only makes people feel better, but also makes them heal faster. And across the nation, medical experts are beginning to apply the new revelations about music’s impact on the brain to treating patients.

In one study, researcher Michael Thaut and his team detailed how victims of stroke, cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease who worked to music took bigger, more balanced strides than those whose therapy had no accompaniment.  Read more...
