Blood Donation Centers for Helping Hurricane Katrina Evacuees at BloodBanker.com
(ContentDesk) September 10, 2005 -- US-based company, BloodBanker, is helping to raise awareness of the values of donating blood to local blood donation centers through the creation of an information-packed website: www.BloodBanker.com. Hurricane Katrina has caused shortages in blood banks across the entire country and now is a great time to give blood to help replenish through donation.The site is designed for anyone looking to donate blood. It lists the hard to find plasma blood centers, where donors get paid to give blood; and whole blood centers where generally the donor does not receive an honorarium. Potential donors will be able to access a comprehensive directory of plasma and whole blood donation centers around the United States, as well as benefit from information and advice."Our site will act as a valuable resource for folks looking to find
paying plasma donation centers and for anyone else interested in donating blood out of goodwill," stated Philip Michaels, CEO of BloodBanker.com. "As well as offering important advice on giving blood, we have provided a detailed directory of plasma and whole blood banks around the US ? a resource that was not really available online until now.
We are hoping that Hurricane Katrina evacuees will be able to donate blood for money as a source of income as well The main focus right now is to create awareness that there is a blood shortage and donations are needed for Hurricane Katrina victims."Both whole and plasma blood are different but important.
Plasma blood is extracted from whole blood by a centrifuge and donations are generally paid with a time commitment of just over an hour. Whole blood donations are unpaid and require about 10 minutes of the donor's time.Typically whole blood is used in life saving transfusions after a car accident, or in planned surgeries to replace blood loss. Whole blood donations are in decline since the months following September 11, 2001 brought a huge increase in donations. With this decline comes a huge shortage of blood.
Blood supplies of rare blood types, as in type O-, must be replaced with a similar type or medical complications can get very serious and possibly fatal.Plasma blood is an element contained in the blood that is used to treat diseases and make consumer goods.
Unfortunately a synthetic substitute has not yet been invented, so the only source is directly from the human body.
Fortunately the body can fully remake all the plasma in about 48 hours after a donation. This makes plasma a renewable resource as long as enough donors continue to give each month. Luckily for the plasma recipients, the donation process is painless and simple.
Generally a session lasts for just over an hour and most centers have TVs and magazines to keep their donors entertained while they sit in a plasma chair.
This comfortable chair reclines so the donor can relax or work if they choose to.
Most students who sell plasma end up doing homework or catching a wink of sleep while they donate.BloodBanker.com's listings were carefully researched and are constantly updated.
Users can leave comments on the centers and signup for the newsletter to receive emails on the latest blood donation news.
The site was founded to get young people involved in the blood donation process.
Mr. Michaels believes that donors who start by selling plasma will more than likely donate blood out of goodwill when they don't need the money..

"It was like it suddenly dawned on everyone that we are right," says Gary Geyer, editor of 50plus Online Magazine (www.50plusMag.com)."You hear a lot of talk these days about baby boomers, but honestly, I don't know of any so-called "baby boomer" that has actually referred to him or herself as a baby boomer. It's a term we don't identify with." Actually, the term "baby boom" was first coined in 1980, 34 years after the post-war baby boom began. Landon Jones, a writer and editor at Time Inc., described in his book, Great Expectations: America and the Baby Boom Generation, " the monumental effect that boomers had on virtually every American institution throughout their lives such as media, education, politics and consumerism."Baby Boomers were a force to be reckoned with.What about now? Are baby boomers still a force to be reckoned with?"Emphatically, yes," says Geyer. "But the tag "baby boomer" is meaningless to us and...

How Rearranging Your Child's Room Can Make Better Study Habits This YearEvery school year parents and students dutifully trudge through the malls in search of the perfect sneaker or the cool new outfit for the coming school year.
However, it's unlikely that the new shoe or shirt will benefit them at school like a new room arrangement.
How so?
According to feng shui, a child's room that is arranged well can positively impact study habits and create better grades.
Feng shui, the Chinese technique for design and arrangement, suggests that rooms that have good energy, or "chi", create happier, well-adjusted children.
Feng shui theories believe that for a child's room to have good "chi," the room must follow certain guidelines to be harmonious.
If the room follows these guidelines, the room will not only be restful, it also promote good relationships others and generate good self-esteem.
Perhaps most importantly, a harmonious...
