Kid, let me tell you, back in my day we didn't need no fancy business degrees to make a company. My best friend Bobby Roy and I armed with only a nickle and a crate full of lemons opened the first lemonade stand on Oakwood Avenue. That was the best summer of my life. Sure, Booby Roy stopped talking to me after we ran out of lemons and I started taking a piss in the glasses to keep up our demand. And that was the same summer dad left Mom for Ant Rosemary. But I learned a lesson I would never forget summer after summer of squeezing and picking lemons....

While a private limited company offers created protection against liability issues, the stock shares must be split amongst more people than in a Public limited company. In addition, a Private Limited company has greater access to capital investments than that of a Public limited company. Futhermore, a Private Limited Company can greater withstand the challenges of the economy as the business is ran by a variety of people with a variety of skills. On the other hand, a Public company can be considered a safer investment for the average business man as once a business goes private the risk is shared with all shareholders. Sometimes it is better to attract investors by staying public.

Can't learn life lessons like that at some fancy business school now can ya?

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.
