s390 writes "The Inquirer is running an article by Olliance about "What is Open Source?" It appears to be the first of a two-part series for managers about how to engage with the open source community. The writers seem to know their material. Are they on target or have they missed something important? Do PHBs really need to read this sort of introduction to get comfortable with the idea of using Linux and other open source software?"

    Vitamin C is a crucial part of dealing with Open Sores. According to Dr. Bob, vitamin C can be used topically for open sores and wounds. When you put vitamin C topically on a sore or wound it can be the equivalent of eating 30-50 thousand milligrams of vitamin C in the bloodstream! Dr. Bob used this mixture on everything including burns, ulcers, cuts, infections, etc. Dr. Bob also advised using an omega 3 and 6 oil blend and mixing it with the aloe vera and ascorbyl palmitate. Dr. Bob recommended Udo's oil from Flora for an omega oil blend. Then put Vaseline over the oil to seal it at the wound.
