Free QR Icon Maker--Way cool business tool
To use QR codes on your business cards and other things, you'll need a couple of tools. 1st, you need to install a QR scanner app on your phone. Search the net for "QR Reader" and the model of your smart phone to find a scanner app; they're available for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Nokia, BlackBerry, and other app-based phones with a camera.This free QR icon machine can embed a URL, text, a phone number, or an addressed and ready-to-send SMS message into a QR code.
Warning: When you're generating a QR code: the more data you cram into your code, the smaller its pixels will be, and the more sensitive the scanners will have to be to read it accurately. Second, if you're encoding a URL, make sure it's a site that will load well on a mobile phone browser.

Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the virus of hepatitis B, a DNA virus whose natural host is human body. It is a known fact that this particular virus is very resistant to the conditions outside its host, which means this little living virus can survive outside its natural environment for a long time. They actually discovered it on the contaminated medical equipment, many months after the contamination, and this could be the transmission way, or at least one of them.
The hepatitis B virus can have more viral particles in the infected blood but it is 100 times less infectious than the HIV virus. In contrast to HIV, hepatitis B can be transmitted through the saliva as well.
Infection from Hepatitis B results from unprotected sexual contact and contact with infected biological fluids such as blood, seminal liquid, vaginal secretions and saliva. Crowded living conditions can also be a contributing factor in transmitting the disease within the family circle. Because of this, it can be transmitted much faster than the HIV.
There are four ways whereby this disease can be transmitted. First is through vertical transmission, meaning the mother passing the virus to the newborn baby during birth. Then there is the horizontal transmission which is prevalent between children, teenagers, young people and adults as well, the medium of transmission being the saliva or contaminated blood from wounds or even superficial scratches. Infected family members such as the parents, grandparents, and siblings could all be potential horizontal source of infection.
Logically, sexual transmission happens when a couple (whether homosexual or normal) engages in a sexual act and one of the partners is infected. Parents can transfer the disease to their children through contaminated blood and blood products which can be transferred to a healthy individual through syringe needles, blood transfusion, dialysis and IV administered medications.
All over the world, being in contact with contaminated hepatitis B blood exposes the doctors as well as the rest of the staff who work in hospitals and have direct contact with it. As much as exposed are the police, the paramedics, fire fighters, and military workers. They are exposed because of the nature of their work.
We must also keep in mind that there are over three million carriers of the Hepatitis B virus all over the world. We must always take good care of the things,objects and people we encounter, even if we do not work in the fields such as the ones described above. Infected objects, such as needles could be very dangerous and they could be the ones transmitting the hepatitis B virus to a healthy body. In addition, we must educate children in this matter, so that they realize the risks of this disease.
Educating especially teenagers, which usually do not acknowledge and almost never comply, and not only them, but also all kinds of humans from all the fields of activity, will reduce the transmission of this disease all over the world.
