“Thanks For the Beautiful Sink” My Friend Said To Me

A month ago, my friend was planning to re-build two 2 bathrooms and also want to change their pedestal sink. She was very busy in making arrangements.

One day she asked my help in selecting pedestal sink, I said ok to her request. After one day of her request I was left with two choices for pedestal sink. I found two designs of pedestal sink were so impressive that I was not able to finalize one.

Then I asked my friend to select one pedestal sink from the two sinks. She was surprised with the designs of pedestal sink that she was praising me for selecting such wonderful designs. After looking at design she decided to buy the two pedestal sinks and time I took for choosing one sink you can imagine how beautiful the designs were.

She found pedestal sink so impressive that she found one more area to fix the second pedestal sink in her home. Recently I visited her home, I was surprised with the look of the sink. By looking at the sink she was thanking me for choosing such wonderful designs of pedestal sink.

I was so impressed by the pedestal sink, decided to install them at my home as soon as possible.

Opium Wars - The Legendary War Fought In The Name Of a Drug

To what extent do you know opium? Most probably many people know that opium is the crude product of harmful drugs like morphine and heroin which are very fatal drugs. An opiate or a opium abused can be find out using a drug test kit. If you have got a chance to read about Wilkie Collins’ The Moonstone, an epistolary novel, generally considered the first detective novel in the English language, you will probably know much about its affects.

But how many of you know that there were two great wars taken place in history in the name of this drug, generally called as Opium wars. There was first opium war which was fought between 1839 to 1842 and second opium war fought between 1856 to 1860. Though not popular as the world wars they helped the British to take over the great China. The first opium war was between Britain and China to end China’s restrictions on foreign trade and smuggling of opium into its country by British. In 1856 a second war broke out following an allegedly illegal Chinese search of a British-registered ship, the Arrow, in Guangzhou.

It Is Regular For My Father to Take Alcohol Testing

You can hardly find anyone who do not consumes alcohol in party time. My dad has the habit of boozing all the time. His applaud able conscious about his health is always amazes me. Testing his alcohol levels using different types of alcohol testing is a daily task to him. He takes the test based on four specimens i.e., Urine, Blood, Breathe, and saliva tests. With modern technology and huge variety of products, performing these test become more easy and simple to do.

Urine Alcohol Test:
This test indicates the presence of alcohol in a person’s body, but it takes up to 2 hours for alcohol to show up in person’s urine. Urine alcohol test is less expensive when compared to other alcohol tests, is reason for conducting these test twice in a week.


Blood Alcohol Test:Blood alcohol test is accurate and expensive when compared to other alcohol tests. Blood tests are least used method in testing for alcohol because of their high cost. These test is performed my father if positive result in urine test has found.

Alcohol Breathalyzer Test:The common form of breath alcohol testing is Breathalyzer test. Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) is indirectly estimated by measuring the amount of alcohol in one’s breath. This is the test, which my father conducts compulsory after every drink he takes.

I always encourage him to take these tests as I found he is doing what he wants to do at least with some health conscious.

What Advertising Can Fix?

Companies spent huge amount in advertising their products and services. Companies think advertising plays a significant role in improving their sales. But I my opinion, improving sales is not depend only on the advertising.
Advertising helps only in creating awareness about the company’s product and services but not to the actual sales. I generally watch advertising for fun. Some advertising have good concept and feel like only watching the advertisement but not for actual purchase of products. Some advertisement creates a negative impression on product and the company. Companies waste huge amount by using film stars, sports stars in their advertisement.
Using these amounts, company can plan in maintaining good quality and in research and development for invention of better products. With only advertisements the company cannot improve their sales. If company spends, these amount in research and development department, in providing better quality products at cheaper price or affordable prices. Company feels that by increasing advertising expenses they can sell poor quality of products to the consumer. I personally feel, advertising contributes 10-20% for increasing sales.
