Customize Your Facebook Ads


#Facebook
Facebook is still one of the most widely used social media sites and many businesses have placed their information on Facebook so customers can look them up or keep in touch. Doing so also allows the option for customers to reach out to that business by responding to the business’s custom made ad. From there, as a customer, you can decide what products or services you want from that company.

If you’re a fan of custom made ads, you might be thinking- how can that get any better? Well now Facebook has made ad making even more personal by allowing specific business products offered to be advertised. So instead of only having the option to advertise your business as one product or service, businesses can now be found based on individual products offered.

Check out : Anthony Ha and Josh Constine’s article to find out more about how it works.

Too Small or Just Enough?


#TinyHouses
Architects have done it again! It seems to be an ongoing trend throughout the years for architects to build small housing spaces. The concept of most small houses or trailers is to get the most of what little space you have. For example, a team known as ShelterWise built a house, aka the Cider Box, which was only 224 square feet. This home was about 22’ long, 8.5’wide and 13.5’ high (ShelterWise, TinyHouseTalk, n.d.) 

Check out another vision created in Australia, this design uses space wisely and is also said to “produce more energy that it consumes.”

Cancer and Alternative Treatments


#Health
Cancer is an ongoing, deadly and unfortunately a common disease many people face. However once a person becomes aware of their circumstance they are able to discuss their options with their primary doctor. From there, of course, the doctor will go over the best procedures or tests needed in order to manage the type of cancer the patient is presented with.

Yet what is optional for those who believe or are interested in alternative treatments such as herbs and supplements. Doctors know a great deal about recommended treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation; but have you ever wonder how many doctors actually discuss or offer alternative treatments as an option? Is this type of treatment actually helpful or harmful towards patients? And will this option be presented to the patient in detail as common treatments options are?

Find out more about this subject by reading an article by Roxanne Nelson titled: Oncologist Need to Ask About Herbs and Supplements.
