How can I protect my critical business data from being lost in the event my office computer system fails? A. Everyone knows it's important to back up computer data (at work and at home) on a regular basis but, truth be told, most of us just don't take the time to do it very often. The good news is there are services out there that, for as little as pennies a week, will back up your data for you. You choose how often you want it backed up ­ continuously, hourly, daily. Your documents are encrypted and stored offsite in a secure data centre. There's no disruption to your day-to-day work ­ you probably won't even notice it's running. Why not talk to a technology specialist about the best way to protect your computer system from a potential disaster. Visit www.nerdsonsite.com or call 289-242-1061 Q: A: Headaches and muscle soreness are conditions that are often related to how your teeth work together. As many as 85% of people show signs of bruxism (tooth grinding) or clenching. These are non functional uses of your teeth and jaws. Stress, anxiety, caffeine and some medications can cause these destructive and painful muscle activities and the result is tension and migraine headaches and excessive wear and destruction of your teeth. A simple dental appliance called the "NTI" can now be made in one appointment at the dentist that fits on just your two front teeth. It prevents all other teeth from touching and can be worn during the day (when needed) or at night. By preventing most teeth from touching, a nerve reflex is blocked that causes jaw muscle hyperactivity and therefore biting down harder, causing muscle strain which leads to pain. In someone who has been medically diagnosed as a migraine sufferer the NTI appliance can prevent the clenching and bruxism that can trigger, or intensify the triggers, that cause many migraine sufferers' headaches. This kind of therapy has helped many headache sufferers reduce or eliminate their pain. Great things start with a warm healthy smile.
