Improving on nature

Article Abstract:

Cosmetic surgery, although it is seldom covered by insurance, usually not tax-deductible and getting more expensive, is experiencing a boom in Australia. The number of plastic surgeons in the country has doubled to keep up with demand, and about 200 of them do about 2000 operations per week. More conscious of their appearance and with more disposable income, Australians are turning to improving appearance according to Dr. Norman Olbourne of the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons. People in the market for this kind of service should be aware of certain things to be cautious about.

A new focus on instant cameras

Article Abstract:

The use of a computer disc instead of film or one that directly transmits information from the camera body into a computer gives photographers the ability to immediately edit and enhance images on their computer, print them out or distribute them through e-mail. The process from taking a picture to printing it out takes minutes. The down side is a lower quality of resolution in the printed version and the cost. Prices for cameras range from $600 to $2500, batteries can die after 10 shots.

Article Abstract:

The share crash of Oct 1987 left many brokers and investors in disbelief. Those who stayed in the market have prospered while those who sold out may feel the effects for years. Many investors fear losing their money, but the biggest fear they should consider is outliving their cash supply. Investors who are cautious risk losing compounding returns over time, which could result in less money for retirement.
