- Just One-To-Many Teleconferences
Make the most of your existing phone service, especially when it comes to your business-related needs.

Stop wasting money. - Do You Have High Blood Pressure?
High blood pressure, or hypertension, is one disease where your actions can really make you sorry. Except in cases where aging or genetics are at fault, people with high blood pressure usually have no one to blame but themselves. For years, doctors have been lecturing about leading a healthier lifestyle, yet Americans, including children, grow unrelentingly fatter every year. Obese, of course, is the PC term for it, but call it what you will, it is claiming Americans by the millions. - Optometry Cannot Be Overstressed
It is impossible to overstate the importance of taking care of your vision. Practical vision health is important for people of any age, from toddlers to the elderly. Early eye examinations in children and later vision check-ups as needed can prevent and correct a host of problems. A visit to the optometrist can ensure that your eyes are healthy, and if not, fix or improve the situation. - Jay Strongwater: More Than Jewelry
In 1981, Jay Feinberg, a twenty-one year old sophomore, stayed his mother's hand as she was about to purchase a necklace. He wanted to design something especially for her. A trip to the local craft store yielded some big macram beads, black, and gold paint. He made for his mother a series of necklaces which she wore about town. When a boutique owner liked the jewelry and requested some pieces for her shop, a career was begun! - Birthday Invitations Should Be Special
Birthday parties are important affairs in most families, and as a result they have become something of a gold mine for some of the most unlikely businesses. Bowling alleys, pottery shops, gymnastics centers, pizza places, recreation centers often have party rooms designated for kids' birthdays. Parents go to great lengths to give their children the perfect birthday memories. Adults get their share of the parties, too, especially when reaching "milestone" birthdays (though they may not often want to celebrate at the local gymnastics center). - Educational Software: Helping Kids Catch Up
Education has seen a great deal of changes over the decades. From blab schools to open classrooms to cooperative learning, the latest teaching methods have made guinea pigs of students across America. No sooner does one trend take root than it is replaced by something new. To top it all off, researchers now declare that not all children learn in the same way. Some are hands on learners, some are very visual, and some grasp things better through repetition, adding new skills slowly. What has not changed are the basic skills children are expected to master, such as reading. math, and grammar. - Robbe & Berking: Setting Fine Tables Since 1874
Humans in the 21st century take a lot for granted. Take flatware, for instance. It seems so rudimentary a concept. Today, no one would dream of sitting down to a bowl of chili with no tableware, but in the grand scheme of things, tableware was a recent development. After all, people had working fingers for transferring food from plate to mouth. What could be more efficient?
