    BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE
    February 11, 1994 - Monsanto Company, U.S.A.

    The rBGH genetically engineered growth hormone for cows goes on sale to dairy farmers under the name Posilac, made by Monsanto Company. Also known as "Bovine Somatotropin" or BST, it is a genetically engineered copy of a naturally occurring hormone produced in the pituitary gland of cattle and is a major regulator of milk production. This is the first time altered genes have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for injection into live animals. The purpose is to improve a cow's production of milk as much as 5 to 15 pounds per day per cow. The approval process took nine years. Nevertheless, the rBGH has drawn criticism from people concerned about food purity.

    FIRST U.S. HOSPITAL
    February 11, 1752 - Pennsylvania, USA

    The Pennsylvania Hospital, the first in America, opened in Philadelphia through the indefatigible efforts of Benjamin Franklin, who was involved in drafting the petition for its establishment and fund-raising. It was established on 11 May 1751, when the colonial governor of Pennsylvania approved its charter as a proposed hospital to include treatment of people with mental illness. The first patient was received on 11 Feb 1752, at the hospital's temporary quarters in the Judge Kinsey mansion on Market St. The Pine Street Hospital opened 17 Dec 1756, and accepted both mentally ill and general medical patients. Inmates were provided with light manual labor such as spinning and carding wool for recreational therapy activities.

    about Eyesight Myth and Fact

    Myth: Staring at a computer screen all day is harmful to the eyes. Fact: Spending the day staring at a screen can tire or strain your eyes, but it will not hurt them. Make sure lighting doesn't create a glare on your screen. When spending long periods at your keyboard, take a break now and then to rest your eyes to reduce fatigue. Also, don't forget to blink. Your eyes need to stay lubricated to feel comfortable. More vehicles
    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

ARTICLE CONTENT :

Many people who are looking for a mortgage loan may think that they can only get it at an official Canadian bank. The truth is, there are only 5 major banks in Canada while there are over 70 lenders that can provide you with many choices.

The banks want to keep this a secret. As a matter of fact, the mortgage rates that lenders offer are far more competitive than those at most major banks such as BMO, CIBC, RBC, TD and Scotia. While consumers do not enjoy the lender?s mortgage rates, the certified mortgage brokers do.

With just one touch of a button, the Canadian brokers have access to lenders themselves or the sources, allowing them the opportunity to research mortgage rates and services and products.

For a person who wants to have the best mortgage rate doing the research himself would take more than a year to visit all 70 lenders. On the other hand, a mortgage broker can do the task in just a few hours, because they have online access to such information, hence; they can save you time, money and effort.

The banks may only offer between 5 and 6 different products and rates including New to Canada, Fix rates, Closed Mortgages, Open mortgages, No Income Mortgages and Variable Rate Mortgages. To keep themselves competitive towards the major banks, the 70 lenders offer between 10 and 15 products. However, not all products and services are applicable to every client.

The problem is how can you find the ideal mortgage product and rate without researching all the lenders. As their profession, mortgage brokers glimpse hastily through the complex nature of mortgages for their clients, making it difficult for their client to differentiate the difference among 70 lender?s mortgage products and rates. Hence, it will be virtually impossible for the clients to figure out the ideal mortgage.

With software, mortgage brokers search for mortgage products that can be useful for you. This gives you quick and accurate information. Then you can decide which lender fits your financial condition and requirements.

Any bank in Canada will tell you that private mortgage lenders would love to work with people who have bad credit, because they can charge them higher fees. Most banks will not give you a loan if you have bad credit.

A private mortgage lending service works will all sorts of people. In contrast, many private mortgage lenders do not charge a fee for their services. The banks on the other hand do.

By offering all services to customers regardless of their credit score, Canadian Mortgage lenders help their customers save money, which creates good customer relations. In the end, such good service earns lenders more clients through referrals.

There are many lending opportunities that are not as expensive as what most major banks offer. Through the official Canadian banking system, people can enjoy reasonable mortgage rates. The only thing people need to do is to visit a private mortgage broker and discuss with him the available options.
