Best way to massage your Joints

Image
Stiff and swollen joints can be cured by massage combined with mechanical movements. Massage is, however, not recommended in serious inflammatory cases of the joints and in tubercular joints! It should also be avoided in infectious diseases like diphtheria and gonorrhoea which cause formation of pus as massage may spread the pus to the entire system.  Sprains and bruises can be cured by massage. In these cases, affected parts should first be bathed with hot water for 15 to 30 minutes. Next the massage should be done for a few minutes. Gentle stroking and kneading is recommended on and around the injured tissues. Fractures can also be treated through massage. This form of massage is of great help in atrophy of the muscles which usually follows if the muscles are not used for any length of time. This condition may also be brought about by injuries, diseases of the joints, inflammation of the muscles and nerves, and by too long use of cats, bandages and splints. A human bei...

Tips on Successful Negotiation of your first investment. Update

Image
The best offers_and thus the best deals_are those that make both parties happy. Remember, the bottom line isn’t what you buy the property for, but how good the property’s cash flow is.  Have a maximum figure (a figure you will not go above) in mind before you begin negotiating.  When you reach that figure you’ll either need to pull out of the deal or get other concessions to make the purchase of this property economically feasible.  Find out what the seller paid for the property. In many cases, an owner will be more inclined to negotiate the price of a property when it affects the profit only. Round up when you make the offer. For example, an offer of #2,000,000 may not seem much higher than #1,999,000, but psychologically it will appear higher and may make the seller look more favourably on your offer. Be patient. Listen to what the seller is saying. You can learn a lot from just talking to the seller.  Be prepared to compromise. Instead of being adversari...

If anyone or a group has hurt them, tell them to forgive and forget whatever they had done just as Christ forgave all his sins and atrocities (Matt.18v21-35). Teach him to observe the golden rule: let your children know that they should treat others the way they would want to be treated (Matt.7v12). Tell him to share what he has with others: make them share what he has or what he's eating with his siblings and other kids. Also, take them to the orphanage sometimes with gifts for the children there. Show th...
