Like here in the United States, the nursing shortage is spreading across Canada, and some residents are going to great lengths to lend a hand.
Allan Muller, 61, an investment advisor in Calgary, is climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro—the highest peak in Africa—to support local nursing students. Friends and family are setting up a scholarship in his name to help single-parent nursing students at the University of Calgary. Muller has a history of supporting nurses, most notably that his rotary club donated $20,000 to establish a fund that provides $1,000 annually to a second-year nursing student.
Muller’s trek is similar to the one completed by Patrick Hickey, a nursing professor at the University of South Carolina. As featured on StressedOutNurses.com, Hickey climbed Mt. Everest to set up a scholarship at his school.

Even when we get addicted to a certain game, most of us eventually move on to try other games. It dawned on me that it makes little sense to buy new games since I only end up playing them for a couple months. Which is exactly why Gamefly is the ideal service for gamers like me. Gamefly offers 7000 video games you can rent and have them sent to your address. When you are done with a game, you send it back to get more games.

Normal cigarettes have a finite life and finite nicotine delivery. If a similar mechanism was available in e-cigs it would prevent nicotine overdose which is an occasional problem for me. Dripping helps. Fantastic products though – should have been out there years ago.
