It's well known that the best route to financial stability is to work for one's self. No matter what business one chooses, the key to success is determination and lots of hard work. It takes passion, sacrifice, long arduous hours and a penny-pinching, workaholic mentality with tenacious "stick-to-it-tiveness" to succeed. Only when this is accomplished does the true pay-off present itself and surprisingly, it's not the original goal of being financially stable but instead it's the satisfaction of one's hard work paying off dividends such as the ability to help others, no longer having to live paycheck to paycheck, family time and vacations, and the ability to donate resources to a church, charities, and community. The spotlight is shining on one such recent business opportunity involving the need for indoor allergen remediation.

It's now known that the energy conservation tactics implemented in the 1970's have resulted in some unforeseen and very significant costs. Some changes included construction methods which were altered to create 100% airtight buildings and homes, factory temperature settings for hot water heaters were lowered by the manufacturers' and the introduction of cold water laundry detergent became prevalent. While saving a much needed and an immense amount of energy resources, the unforeseen downside has been the substantially decreasing Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) with a huge and ever increasing amount of accumulated indoor allergens. Recent studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have found that the indoor air pollution of homes and buildings nearly always exceeds outdoor pollution by 5x's, 10x,s and in some cases even 100x's or 500x's!

Combining all of the above facts with current lifestyle changes that have most persons, especially children, indoors 95% of our lives, has led to an alarming increase over the last few decades of respiratory infections, asthma, and allergies. Physicians, health centers, and most of all, pharmaceutical companies have reaped huge monetary benefits from the spike in health costs, prescription drugs and over the counter medications all of which have out-paced population growth. Research by the American College of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (ACAAI) states that over 50% of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by, polluted indoor air and specifically, unhygienic mattresses where we spend one-third of our lives.

Fortunately, recent technological developments have produced dependable, high-performance HEPA rated vacuum cleaners (designed to service "cleanrooms" in the hi-tech field) and Ultraviolet "C" (UVC) light wands with Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) capabilities, ideally suited for indoor allergen remediation.

Evidence of the Potential for a Proven Income Opportunity.

Many clinical studies from overseas, most notably from the United Kingdom, have resulted in the start-up of nearly 4,500 mattress cleaning businesses in the past 12-15 years in Europe alone, as well as Australia, New Zealand and countries along the Pacific Rim. In January 2006 and within North America alone, only five or six mattress cleaning businesses could be found on the Internet. Now, eleven months later in November of 2006, there are nearly 50 mattress cleaning businesses. This number is likely to explode due to national media reports on all major television networks including the 24 hour newscasts like CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC, Headline News and others. National personalities such as CNN's, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, FoxNews' Dr. Isadore Rosenfeld, NBC's Matt Lauer and Katie Couric (formerly of NBC) have all reported on this alarming need of epidemic proportions. Major corporations such as Trane, Fil-trete, S.C. Johnson and Son, Sharper Image, and vacuum manufacturers' Dyson, Oreck and Bissell have all targeted dust mites (the #1 source of very potent and harmful indoor allergens) in nation-wide television commercials. Also recently reported nationally as well as locally, is the "come-back" of the horrifying, blood-sucking, bedbugs which were nearly completed eradicated in the U.S. during the '60's and 70's with the use of the now banned pesticide DDT. Globalization is the primary cause of the re-population of bedbugs in the U.S.

Research the Business Opportunity

Half a dozen or so companies, mostly outside the U.S., offer Independent Dealerships which include the specialized mattress cleaning equipment and marketing materials. Prices range from $2,500 to $23,000. Most companies combine a hand-held vacuum cleaner (with HEPA rated filters) which includes a UVC light built-in to the vacuum cleaner suction port. The one U.S. company sells a HEPA rated vacuum cleaner (not just HEPA rated filters) with a stand-alone, independently held, UVC light. The separate UVC light allows for additional revenue streams utilizing the UVGI sterilization capabilities.

Combining the "Health and Wellness" boom, the ever increasing indoor pollution effects on our health, media exposure, and the national movement towards "green" or "environmentally friendly" corporate philosophy, this may be on of the best home based business opportunities to further explore in 2007.

UV Sterilizers For Aquarium Maintenance

A UV sterilizer uses an ultraviolet bulb to destroy harmful organisms, such as parasites, viruses, algae, and bacteria. An effective sterilizer, this device works wonders on aquarium water. It works so well that companies often use it to purify water on a larger scale, and to control algae growth in outdoor ponds.

If you have a home aquarium, chances are you already have several filtration units taking care of the water. A UV sterilizer is a good addition to an aquarium, although it should be the last stage of the filtration process. It's important that aquarium water passes through the mechanical filter before moving through the UV unit. The mechanical or canister filter removes solids so that any water that passes through the UV unit afterwards is cleaned with optimal results.

UV sterilizers continue to work well as long as the bulb wattage is sufficient and the bulb isn't too old. The efficiency of the device also depends on the cleanliness of the quartz sleeve and the flow rate of the unit.

The Bulb

As time goes by UV the bulb will start to lose its effectiveness, which is why you should replace it every 6 months. You can purchase bulbs between 8 watts and 130 watts - a higher wattage does a better job at cleaning the water. Devices with a lower wattage bulb require a lower flow rate to work well.

Flow Rate

The flow rate is also an important factor to consider - a slower flow rate is more effective at killing parasites, in addition to algae and bacteria. The flow rate is measured in either gallons per hour or liters per hour. A device with a 15-watt bulb has no problem controlling algae and bacteria at a 120 gph flow, but it won't kill parasites unless the flow rate drops to 75 gph.

Clean the Quartz

The quartz sleeve is located where the UV bulb fits into the device. A lot of people forget about this part of the UV sterilizer and fail to give it a good cleaning every once in a while. Cleaning removes buildup and ensures that the UV sterilizer continues to work at top capacity. More expensive sterilizers are designed with a wiper handle positioned outside of the device for fast and easy cleaning of the sleeve, without having to take everything apart.

Luckily, it's easy to find UV sterilizers these days, in local stores and online. These devices make a wonderful addition to any aquarium, but they come with a hefty price tag, especially when you factor in the cost of replacement bulbs.

Saltwater Aquarium enthusiasts are more likely to purchase UV sterilizers because they improve the quality of the water and offer another layer of protection for expensive saltwater fish.

Although a UV sterilizer is not a necessity, many aquarium hobbyists do find that this device is effective at maintaining clean water and keeping fish and other aquatic life healthy and happy. It all comes down to personal choice and what works best for your aquarium.

Unique Vietnam

Vietnam is a fascinating country with a long history and an ancient culture. It's also a dynamic nation that's moving ahead. In recent decades, Vietnam has opened up as an outstanding holiday destination owing to its enchanting cities and magical natural scenery. Here's a look at the unique watery attractions in the great historic cities of Hanoi, Hue and Ho Chi Minh City.

Standing along the banks of the Red River, Hanoi, the capital, is a city of timeless elegance with its French colonial villas, spacious tree lined boulevards, quaint backstreets and pagodas. However it's the medley of lakes that gives this city its unique charm.

The most delightful of Hanoi's lakes is the serene Hoan Kiem Lake (Lake of the Restored Sword) that lies plumb in the heart of the city. Cross the The Huc (Rising Sun) Bridge to explore the island in its centre. The island is home to the 18th century Ngoc Son (Jade Mountain) Temple.

The shores of Hanoi's West Lake make up a popular meeting and picnicking spot. This lake is nine miles in circumference and several cafes stand on its shores. A B52 bomber crashed into this lake during the Vietnam War and its wreckage remains.

Going south from Hanoi brings you to the imperial charm of the old capital Hue. The centrepiece here is the Perfume River which is populated with dragon boats, houseboats, and long-tail sand dredgers.

Linking the two banks is the Trang Tien Bridge, a popular evening strolling place for young lovers and the perfect spot to take the air. In the evenings, the bridge is illuminated with a light display and the outdoor riverside cafes are splendid spots to relax, admire the lights, and take in the local action.

The Perfume River separates the city and the ‘Forbidden Purple City’, once the sole province of the emperor and his family and attendants. Much of its splendid imperial architecture was razed during the Tet offensive but remnants of its tombs and pagodas remain to hint at its former splendour.

Heading further south to the Mekhong delta region brings you to the zest and optimism of old Saigon in what is now known as Ho Chi Minh City. It's a brash, dynamic and forward-looking city that retains much of its colonial charm in the form of delightful villas and churches and boulevards.

One of the main factors in the choice of Saigon as capital in the 19th century was its location on the Saigon River. This made it perfect for a port and a major trading and transport hub for Indochina. And today the river remains an important part of the city. The best way to experience the charms of the city's main waterway and sample the country's culture is to take a five-mile cruise to the Binh Quoi II Tourist Resort.

The Binh Quoi II Tourist Resort offers a range of cultural events such as music and dancing and dining. One of the highlights is the show of a traditional Vietnamese wedding with a water-borne procession. Tours usually depart Ho Chi Minh City in the early evening and last for four hours.

Vietnam, a forward-looking nation that's steeped in history and a unique and wonderful culture, has much to offer the holiday maker. These three cities with their aquatic charms offer a great introduction.

When visiting Vietnam, be sure to have a reservation, because hotels in Vietnam could be fully booked in high season. Of course the Internet offers many opportunities to book Vietnam hotels in advance.

Learn More About Water Purification Techology and Methods of Water Purification

Water purification technology is a complicated subject. All that we are really going to cover here are some of the methods of water purification in the public and private sectors. Most treatment facilities go through many steps before they send anything to your home. But, even with there best efforts, modern contaminants make a "point of use" or home filter necessary.

The methods of water purification listed here are only a few of the systems currently in use around the world. Clean drinking water is one of the most important things in life, so the area of water purification technology is large and growing. Let's start with the oldest and work our way forward.

Distillation

Used for centuries, this method requires heat for boiling. Anything with a high boiling point stays in the tank. Water vapor and anything with a low boiling point travels through a tube, where it cools and eventually falls into another tank. The disadvantages of distillation methods of water purification include; excessive energy used for boiling, removes minerals, but not chemicals and the system requires constant maintenance and cleaning. It is better suited for certain industrial settings than home use.

Reverse Osmosis

Often advertised as the top level of water purification technology, reverse osmosis methods of water purification were originally designed for large scale treatment facilities and commercial uses. Efforts to transfer the process to the home been successful, for the most part, but there are many disadvantages. They include; additional electricity used for pressurizing and pumping, large amounts of waste water created, removes minerals, cannot remove chemicals without the use of additional steps, does not kill bacterial or biological contaminants and the units are very expensive.

Chemical Disinfection

The use of chlorine to disinfect was a major step forward in water purification technology. Before its introduction, there were numerous outbreaks of cholera, typhoid and other water-borne illnesses. This is one of the most commonly used methods of water purification, today. In emergency situations, for example during a flood or after a hurricane, household bleach containing chlorine can be used to clarify and kill bacteria. The disadvantages of chemical disinfection include; poor taste, bad odor, health problems with continued use, ineffective against cryptosporidium and other bacterial cysts.

UV Radiation Treatment

In some places, ultraviolet light emitting lamps are used to remove germs and bacteria, rather than chlorine. It is not one of the less commonly used methods of water purification in this country, but is considered a move forward in water purification technology. It is a cost effective system. The low pressure mercury lamps are relatively inexpensive. The only real disadvantage is that bacterial contamination can occur in the pipes that lead from the reservoir to the home. It has no application in the home.

Carbon Filtration

This is one of the methods of water purification that can be used in public settings and private homes. It is inexpensive, requires no electricity, removes chemical contaminants, improves taste and removes odor. It was originally developed as a counter measure against chlorine gas in WWI. It eventually found its place in water purification technology. There are no disadvantages, except that filters must be replaced regularly.
