In the world of golf, there is perhaps no individual prize more sought after at, at all levels from amateur to professional, than the hole in one. It is such a rare achievement that clubs, tournaments and institutions will offer huge prizes for it, especially if they wish to attract the attention of more players and increase competition. Paying out on these prizes is an unlikely event, but can be extremely costly, and so insurance policies have developed for hosts to offer the prizes without fear of a sudden, massive payout. The National Hole In One Association (NHIOA) offers the most complete hole in one package of any such provider.

The secret to success online is almost intangible, broadly coming under the bracket of “the unexpected”. In order for videos to go viral, several factors are required, and one of those is the perceived popularity of the property.

Eastern medicine has been on something of a rollercoaster ride through the lens of Western science. Initially largely dismissed as quackery, further research has led to the claims of Eastern practices becoming more justifiable in the eyes of medical practitioners, many of whom offer access to these services under the band of ‘alternative medicine’ after studies showed the efficacy of, for example, acupuncture for the treatment of migraines. Matano Clinic has recently opened in Toronto, Canada and is leading the fusion of eastern alternatives with a deep understanding of western medicine.

The vast majority of the US has hard water, which means that the running water supply has a large proportion of dissolved metals such as magnesium and calcium. This can cause a huge range of issues such as the build up of limescale, which can damage plumbing. It also interferes with the action of soaps and can cause a diminished quality of drinking water. Many homes in hard water areas install domestic water softening systems in order to improve the quality of their water supply.
