Re: Emotional Ride

Welcome aboard Opiatesgotme (OPGM). I am oxygirl and the name says it all! lol.... I am 42 years old and was put on percocet for chronic pain at 38 or so. Then I moved up to roxicodone 30s and that is where the trouble all seems to have begun. I started to get really physically dependent on them. My body will signal time for a pill before the pain that I was given them for does. This is a great place to be. Sometimes I get long winded on here so I will try to keep this short. I am sort of like Musicman and tapering off of a prescribed dose. I was taking 120mg a day and am down to 90. I should be a little further down but I have had some things in my life lately driving me crazy so at this point I am glad I just haven't went back up to the 120mg. I don't get tempted really. I have a whole bottle I can sit and look at all day. My problem is the physical withdrawls drive me nuts. When I first ran out of meds I thought I was gonna die. I finally realized it was wd's and it freaked me out. I have an exhusband who is a major addict and I have always fought against any drugs ever since i was 20 and first met him. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I, mother of 3, minivan carpool queen, soccer mom, church goer, cheerleading other words Carol Brady, was addicted to pain pills. What I am trying to say is it is easy to become addicted to drugs. So my story is....I am on a slow taper. I so admire all of you who have them out of your system. I am such a chicken. I have really bad arthritis and I hate pain. So it is like pain on top of pain for me. I have had one knee surgery and need another within this year.

It appears that you are at least over the physical hump. Getting them out of your system is harder and harder every time you relapse. (I have heen told this by many people). I know that emotional ups and down follow after the physical part is over with. I understand u not wanting to put anything else in your system also. How is your home support system? Do you have kids, a job? You said you have a partner. Is it a steady relationship? All of these things are going to factor into your recovery and your continued success. I wish you all the luck and you sound like a very strong person. This board is a great place as we are all in the same boat.

Hello and thank you for sending your question.

I will work on providing you with some information and recommendations regarding your health concerns. I think since you have a history of low potassium it would be a good idea for you to see a position for some blood testing. The blood testing might include checking your electrolytes as well as your kidney and liver function in addition to your blood counts to rule out things like anemia. There are many different laboratory abnormalities which might contribute to some of the symptoms you have experienced.

Regarding your sinuses I am sure you are aware that usually we do not recommend using Afrin or any more than a few days. The reason why we usually recommend against long-term use of this particular formulation is because your body becomes very accustomed to the medication. It can be difficult to discontinue this medication completely as your body will develop some congestion which will slowly resolve overtime. I would recommend that you discuss this with your doctor. Your doctor might consider providing you with a steroid nasal spray which might help alleviate some of your congestion symptoms.

If the laboratory testing is completely normal it might be a good idea for your doctor to have you see a cardiologist or somebody who can perform a stress test just to make sure your heart and lungs are performing adequately.

Overall I would suggest that you see your physician for a focused consultation and comprehensive physical examination.

Regarding your diet congratulations on making some adjustments to improve your health. This will pay off over many many years. I hope you are incorporating some exercise into your regimen as well.

Thanks again for sending your question. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.

Answered : 9063 Questions
Hi. I am a 64 yr old femal, 5'2" 265#, I have Hi BP (avrg 145/80), am pre-diabetic controled with Metformin. have a very low vit D level, hI triglycerides and colesterol and divroticulosis. Due to an unusual bout of constipation I went to the ER and a large pelvic mass was found (aprox 10x6 cm). I have seen an oncologist who believes it is not cancer due to the CT, Ultra sound, xray it is fluid filled and cancer blood test was a very low normal. I will be having surgery to remove and byopsy very soon. I have also had the gastric sleeve recommended by the oncologist, the GYN and the Gastic Dr. that I have seen. They all recommend that I have both surgeries at the same time. My primary dr. does not recommend that I have the Sleeve at this time. He feels I should concentrate on the mass and put off the gastric sleeve. All my Drs are new as I have been uninsured for about 3 years and have just now obtained insurance. all these drs are new to me and although I like and respect each of them, I am torn about the decisions I need to make. I really need to loose the weight and believe if I do many of my medical problems will go away. however i realize the rish involved in this type of surgery and want some help deciding what i should do. Can you recommend or tell me the options and risk.
Posted Sat, 2 Mar 2013 in Digestion and Bowels
Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan 2 hours later
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

Gastric sleeve is recommended for patients who are extremely obese (BMI 40 or more). Although effective, it does have a few adverse effects: acid reflux, vomiting, esophageal spasms, extreme pain, etc. These symptoms are easy to battle, but cause frustration and extreme discomfort in some.

Your primary doctor expresses concern as the mass has not been diagnosed yet (confirmed only after biopsy). He could be concerned because:
-If the mass turns out to be cancerous, and has spread to your esophagus or stomach (there will be tissue left after removing the effected part) and if it has spread elsewhere we might have to surgically remove the effected part (losing more of your GIT)
-Recovery from one surgery is a lot in itself, and will require a lot of strength and time
-Each surgery has its own complications and adverse effects (if we pile both up, we might make it more difficult to control)

Once cancer has been ruled out and you have recovered from the surgery involving removal of mass, then we could go in for the gastric sleeve without having other concerns.
Yes, reduction of weight will help in the regression of most of your problems, but the procedure having its own adverse effects should not clash with the other surgery. You wouldn't have to wait for more than 3-6 months for the gastric sleeve procedure after the surgery involving removal of the mass.

I hope I have helped in providing you with information on this. It is completely up to you to decide if you can wait another 3 months after one surgery, and reduce the chances of complications with surgeries (if they occur) to pile up.

Or go ahead with both at once, as the doctors are experienced professionals and can handle a patient with two procedures at once; during and after the surgery.

Please feel free to write back to me for any further information. I would be glad to explain in the most elaborate way possible.

Best wishes.

How was your first episode of typhoid fever diagnosed? If by WIDAL what was the titre?
And how long were you treated with antibiotic?
And what was the test done now? WIDAL can remain positive for upto 3 months.
It might be something else like viral fever too. So have a complete blood count, CRP etc done if you are worried.
And if treated with appropriate antibiotics for adequate duration, chances of relapse in typhoid are less.
Hope you find my answer useful.

20 Reasons Why You Should Eat An Entire Avocado Every Day

The avocado is a rather unique type of fruit. Avocado is, without any doubts, one of the most favorite fruits in the world. Most fruit consists primarily of carbohydrate, while avocado is high in healthy fats. But, it tastes so good you will probably think that is not so good for you and your health. Numerous studies show that it has powerful beneficial effects on health.

You should also know that people who eat avocados are healthier and with higher nutrient intake. They even have lower body mass index than those who don’t eat avocados. Recent studies have proved that. However, this delicious fruit can offer a lot of healthy benefits, but we are going to mention just 20 of them:

  1. Source of Healthy Fats

Even though avocados contain high amount of fats, that actually is a good thing. Avocados contain the “good” fats, including the monosaturated fat. The monosaturated fat can help you lower the risk of heart attack or stroke, along with the levels of bad cholesterol in your blood.

  1. Weight Loss

Recent studies have shown that avocados can actually help you with losing weight. According to the study that was published in the Nutrition Journal, eating half an avocado for lunch can help overweighed people to feel full for a longer period of time after the lunch. People who participated in this study reported 40% less desire to eat over a 3 hour period after the meal, and a 28% less desire over a 5 hour period after the meal. And another good thing is that these participants had less desire to snack and were fuller after the meal.

  1. Control Blood Pressure

This delicious fruit is also a great natural source of potassium. It contains more than 28% of the recommended daily potassium intake in just one avocado. But, you should be careful. Because avocados are fruits high in fat, you should balance your food intake in other areas to balance your diet. The AHA (American Heart Association) says that foods high in potassium are very important for a healthy heart, because of the potassium’s ability to reduce the effects of sodium in the body and regulates the blood pressure.

eat avocado every day

  1. Lower Cholesterol Levels

A recent study has shown that consumption of avocado can help you lower your cholesterol levels. Numbers in the recent statistics show that one in three American adults has high cholesterol issues, with higher risk of getting a heart attack. But, there are a lot of different natural ways to lower the bad cholesterol levels. Avocados can lower triglycerides in your blood, reduce the total cholesterol and lower LDL while increasing the HDL cholesterol.

  1. High in Nutrients

Avocados are also a great source of healthy nutrients and contain more than 20 vitamins and minerals in each serving. One fruit of avocado contains (Recommended Daily Values):

  • 33% Vitamin C
  • 26% Vitamin B6
  • 21% Vitamin E
  • 28% Pantothenic Acid
  • 19% Copper
  • 28% Potassium
  • 53% Vitamin K
  • 41% Folate
  1. Improves Nutrient Absorption

Did you know, that when it come to vitamins in minerals, it doesn’t really matters how much or how we eat them. The way vitamins, minerals and nutrients are being absorbed is extremely important for us and our health. Some vitamins or nutrients are fat soluble. That means that they need to be combined with fat in order to get absorbed by our bodies. For example, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E and Vitamin K are fat-soluble nutrients, alongside with some other antioxidants. Add ½ of avocado in a salad of spinach, lettuce and carrots and your body will absorb the antioxidants:

  • Alpha-carotene – 8.3 times better
  • Beta-carotene – 13.6 times better
  • Lutein – 4.3 times better
  1. Prevent Diabetes

The recent statistics that came from the CDCP (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) have estimated that diabetes will affect almost 40% of the American population at some point in their lives. That’s why is very important to keep your blood sugar levels low in order to reduce the risk of getting diabetes. In a recent study, people who participated in it consumed ½ of avocado with lunch, and had their blood sugar and insulin levels measured at specific time. Even though they ate ½ of avocado and it increased their calorie and carbohydrate intake, the participants who ate avocado didn’t get their blood sugar levels increased, compared with those who didn’t ate an avocado for lunch.

  1. Pain Relief

Cause of its anti-inflammatory benefits, the avocado extract is suitable for treating and reducing symptoms of arthritis of the bones, also known as osteoarthritis, and other types of inflammatory related aches and pains.

  1. Fight Inflammation

Several studies have shown the beneficial healthy properties of the oleic acid – the monosaturated fat found in avocados, olive oil and canola oil. The oleic acid will help you fight and reduce all kinds of inflammations in the body. This is very important for you, because it’s believed that chronic inflammation in the body can lead to several diseases, such as: asthma, allergies, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, heart disease and cancer.

  1. Eye Health

According to the latest researches, avocados are among the top 20 fruits in the world consumed on regular basis, which are rich in Lutein and a good source of zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin are extremely beneficial in fighting macular degeneration. This is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. Foods high in phytonutrients, such as avocado, can provide high amount of Lutein and zeaxanthin into your organism.

avocado whole

  1. Very Important for Future Mothers

According to the article published in What to Expect, avocados are one of the most important foods for pregnant women, because they are full with nutrients, such as: potassium, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and Folate. That’s because Vitamin B6 is beneficial for the baby’s tissue and brain growth. Folate is essential for the healthy growth of the fetus in early pregnancy.

  1. Cancer Fighting Properties

Several studies have shown the crucial benefits of using avocado in the fight against cancer. It has shown that the avocado extract can stop or slow down the growth of prostate cancer cells. Another study has shown that the avocado extract might help to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. However, you should consume it primarily cause of its other benefits.

  1. Strong Bones

You should also know that avocados are full with bone-healthy nutrients, such as: Vitamin K, copper and folate. So, if you add avocados to your healthy diet, it can help you build and retain strong bones. Except avocados, add other fruits as well for best results.

  1. Improve Digestion

One of the most important elements for any healthy diet is fiber. The fiber keeps your digestive system running smoothly. That’s why you should add more avocados to your healthy diet. One avocado contains 13 grams, that’s around 54% of your recommended daily fiber intake.

  1. Improve Your Mood

Avocados can improve your mood. That’s because of their high amount of vitamins and minerals, especially potassium and folate. A recent study has found that potassium is related with depression. A group of scientific researchers have found that depressed men and women had low levels of potassium. Their studies were based on the relationship between sodium, magnesium and potassium in depressed patients. Other study that was made in 1993 found the same thing; depressed patients had lower potassium levels than healthy people.

  1. Brain Food

We all know that cooper is a good brain stimulant, so avocados are also good as a brain stimulant food. That’s because they contain almost 20% of the daily cooper needs. Copper – the neglected mineral is directly linked with higher thought processes and creative thinking.

  1. Immunity Booster

As we mentioned before, the avocados are a great source of Vitamin B – which can help you fight a lot of illnesses and infections in your organism. They also contain high amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E – natural immune boosters.

  1. Energy Booster

Fat is the most concentrated source of energy in our bodies, and we know that avocado is full of it. It might help you skip your daily afternoon nap, if you eat an avocado for lunch. Healthy fats can provide for your organism a balanced stream of energy, so the organism can finish its daily routines. If avocados are eaten along with carbohydrates, they will slow down the digestion rate of the carbohydrates, which means that you won’t feel hungry after a meal, especially after you ate simple carbohydrates like white bread.

  1. Healthy Skin and Hair

Avocado can also help you get a smooth skin and glossy hair. That’s because of its anti-inflammatory properties and high amount of healthy fats. One avocado contains more than 20% of your daily dose of Vitamin E, which is beneficial in protecting the body tissue from damaging by the free radicals. Stop wasting money on expensive skincare creams which contain Vitamin E, and eat more avocados. You can even try avocado oil and fight the aging process from within.

  1. It’s Delicious

Let’s not forget that avocado is very delicious fruit, which can be used in different meals and salads, such as: guacamole or you can add it to salads and sandwiches.

People With Type O Blood Should Stop Doing These Things! FIND OUT WHY!

The Blood type O is commonly known as the universal blood type.
In Japan, they believe that a lot can be said about your personality based on your blood type.

For them, people with type O blood tend to be responsible, committed, organized, focused, conscientious and practical.

Of course, it has its disadvantages.

People with blood type O can add "vulnerable" to its list of traits.

When it comes to their health, it is revealed that they can be more susceptible to some diseases, such as ulcers and thyroid dysfunction.

Prior to this, some side effects like obesity, fluid retention and fatigue can be experienced by the members of this group because they possess low levels of thyroid hormone and not enough iodine, a chemical element whose sole purpose is to sustain the flow  of thyroid hormones.

Their stomach also carry higher levels of stomach acid than other blood types, often resulting in stomach irritation and stomach ulcers.

Some experts suggest that these people should refrain from drinking too much caffeine and alcohol because it raises the level of adrenaline, which is already high in their case.

They are also advised to exercise 3-4 times a week or every day, preferrably.

Police Make 108th Arrest Over Scottish Cup Final Disorder

Another man has been detained over the disorder that marred the end of the Scottish Cup final, bringing the total number of arrests to 108.

The event at Hampden Park in Glasgow on May 21 was disrupted when fans invaded the pitch after Hibernian's 3-2 win over Rangers.

Hibs supporters flooded on to the field at the end of their side's dramatic last-minute win, with Rangers fans also making it past stewards and on to the turf before mounted officers restored order.

Police launched a large-scale investigation and have regularly posted images of people they want to trace.

On Friday, a 31-year-old man and a 24 year-old man were the latest to be arrested and they're due to appear at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

A police spokesman said: ''A team of officers continue to investigate incidents of violence, disorder and vandalism at this fixture and appeal to anyone with information that may assist their investigation to contact the inquiry team on 0141 532 5457 or by emailing scottishcupfinalpitchinvasion@scotland.pnn.police.uk.

''Alternatively Crimestoppers can be contacted on 0800 555 111, where anonymity can be maintained.''

The Scottish Football Association (SFA) has said neither club will face punishment for the crowd trouble in line with the governing body's disciplinary rules.

An independent report commissioned by the SFA said the Scottish Government should consider making it a criminal offence to run on to a football pitch.

Saint Etienne’s announce their Christmas Album & December live dates.

After locking themselves away for six weeks in deepest Surrey, on a diet of glogg and cheese footballs to get in the spirit, Saint Etienne announce the release of their long promised Christmas album A Glimpse Of Stocking. It will mix eight old (some very rare) songs with seven brand new ones. All of the new ones are self-written except for the Doors’ surprisingly festive Wintertime Love. It now sounds closer to Lieutenant Pigeon than the Lizard King’s gang, having being partially recorded in a Highgate pub.

Other treats to accompany a feast of port and stilton include the saucy Unwrap Me, the Daft Punk meets Woolies ad rave-up Gonna Have a Party, and the Rea-in-reverse Welcome Home (with Sarah waiting for Chris to turn up on her doorstep), and No Cure For The Common Christmas is a cracking uptempo yet melancholy Pete Wiggs track with an Ennio Morricone/New Order feel.

Through The Winter, meanwhile, is a glacial Christmas break-up electro ballad because not everyone feels quite the same way about Christmas as Saint Etienne do (especially birthday boy Bob Stanley, who thinks he owns it) so A Glimpse of Stocking will be a limited edition of 3,000 numbered copies, available for the 2010 festive season only. Copies are available from the bands website only or at the bands forthcoming Christmas shows (50 copies per evening).
There is also a special deluxe edition available £150 which will include an extra CD with a Personally Dedicated Christmas Song, sung by Sarah, not available on the main album. This is the only way you’ll be able to get this song, AND your name will be in the lyric.

The gorgeous artwork, and the group’s Christmas card, are both designed by Lora Findlay, who designed the sleeve for their much lauded Tales From Turnpike Lane.

A Glimpse Of Stocking. It’s the perfect Christmas present to yourself!

Come join Saint Etienne at the following live dates

Dec 2 Brighton, Brighton Centre (with Scissor Sisters)
Dec 10 ATP, Bowlie weekender
Dec 11 Kilkenny, Set Theatre
Dec 16 Glasgow, ABC
Dec 17 Manchester, Ritz
Dec 18 London, Kentish Town, The Forum

Equal opportunities will bring growth

Lars Ronnas Correspondent
If we accept the premise of the old song “Money makes the world go around”, International Women’s Day should be a wake-up call for all of us who are concerned about economic growth and development.

In fact, gender equality is increasingly seen as a necessity if investments in education and health are to bring good returns to a society as a whole. No wonder that people usually interested in economic figures are paying more and more attention to addressing unequal opportunities between men and women. Plainly speaking, discrimination against women is a waste no society can afford. We have already come far in our efforts to create a more gender equal world. More women are now participating and represented in political spheres and bodies. Lobby organisations and women’s leagues have all done a remarkable work to achieve this. And women representation is key if the other challenge about resources is to be addressed.

The price of inequality

Still in 2016, a hugely disproportional percentage of the world’s wealth is vested in the hands of men. This is so despite the fact that women make up half the world’s population. Last year, Mckinsey Global Institute found that up to $28 trillion (or 26 percent) could be added to our global GDP by 2025 if women were given the exact same opportunities, positions and roles as those of men on the labour market.

This is of course only a rough figure if women maximised the potential economic returns from equal participation and engagement on the labour markets. Think about it; millions of women and men are bound to “lose” trillions of potential US dollars merely due to gender inequality. Much progress has been made in the field of education. Today young women graduate with skills and university degrees to an extent which compares well with young men, in some countries even outpacing them. Education brings better prospects for the individual woman or man. It is also an investment to any society.

Understanding this is something deeply embedded into the Zimbabwean society. However, like in many other countries, social prejudices and narrow-minded attitudes prevent young women from making full use of the skills and knowledge they have acquired. It is our common challenge to identify and remove these obstacles.

We cannot afford to not change gender inequalities

Not only is this about moral and social responsibility — it is also about economic responsibility. We cannot afford to not change gender inequalities.

Throughout the world, millions of women are prevented from making good use of their full abilities, and the consequence is that families and societies are missing out on obvious returns which could help improve living standards, pay school fees and develop societies as a whole. The 2010 ILO paper “Women in Labour Market” confirms that when women enter the workforce, their gains and returns are more likely — than men’s — to be spent on housing, school fees, nutrition and medicines, resulting in healthier families and children who excel in school. This all suggests the already known; women’s participation is amongst the most important factors for reducing poverty in developing countries!

Brave men dare strong women

While the younger generations across the globe are starting to recognise the benefits of increased gender equality, we still have very far to go! Many men still see women’s growing social and economic independence as threat to their egos and fortunes. Fears and myths continue to prevail that men will lose their “inherited” social and economic status if women are socially and economically emancipated.

Fears which paradoxically often lead to an increase in gender-based violence and sexual harassment. However, studies have shown that a more equal relationship between men and women tends to bring more happiness to a marriage. In as much as a woman could be proud of a successful husband, the vice versa will hold as much truth.

Last year, here in Harare, I signed up to the worldwide He4She campaign launched by UNWOMEN.

I did so because I want my daughters — and my sons — to be proud of their father.

I urge you to do the same!

President off to Japan

Felex Share Senior Reporter
PRESIDENT Mugabe left the country for Japan yesterday on an official working visit that will see Government solidifying its Look East Policy by boosting investment and economic cooperation deals.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe extended the invitation to President Mugabe as the Asian country also seeks to develop new markets for its firms in Zimbabwe.

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko is Acting President.

President Mugabe, who was accompanied by First Lady Dr Amai Grace Mugabe and Foreign Affairs Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi, was seen off at Harare International Airport by Vice Presidents Emmerson Mnangagwa and Phelekezela Mphoko, service chiefs and Cabinet ministers.

Apart from investment issues, Prime Minister Abe is also pursuing a robust discussion with President Mugabe on the United Nations Security Council reforms.

During his stay in Japan, the President has a packed programme in which he is expected to meet PM Abe, who will also host a dinner for him.

President Mugabe — according to the Japanese Foreign Affairs Ministry — is also expected to make a State call on their Majesties the Emperor of Japan, Akihito and the Empress Michiko.

The couple will also host a court luncheon for the President and the First Lady.

PM Abe has, on several occasions, appealed for Africa’s support to back Japan’s bid for a seat in the UN Security Council.

The Asian giant belongs to the Group of Four (G4), which has Germany, India and Brazil — countries which have mutually supported one another’s bids for permanent seats in the Security Council.

The G4 members have proposed reform in the UN Security Council to include an additional six permanent seats, four going to them and two reserved for African countries.

Only five nations – China, Russia, France, Britain and the United States – have permanent seats and veto powers, which enable them to prevent the adoption of any “substantive” draft Council resolution, regardless of the level of international support for the draft.

President Mugabe has always made a strong pitch for the UN Security Council reform saying the organisation had become a forum where “some are giants”, while the rest have been “made dwarfs”.

His master-stroke came at the African Union Summit in Ethiopia in January, when he said African nations would walk away from the organisation if the West continued to block efforts to reform and democratise the body.

President Mugabe last visited Japan in March last year for the United Nations Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction, where he also met PM Abe.

Their deliberations this time are expected to check progress made on the economic co-operation front as well as strengthening existing bilateral relations.

After slightly over a decade of frosty relations, Japan is slowly warming up to Zimbabwe and PM Abe last year pledged millions of dollars to Zimbabwe for disaster preparation and risk management.

He is also appealing for President Mugabe’s support to ensure smooth preparations of the Tokyo International Conference on Africa Development (TICAD) V1 to be held in Kenya in August.

This is the first time the meeting is being held outside Japan.

Early this month, PM Abe dispatched a special envoy to Harare officially inviting President Mugabe to attend TICAD V1 meeting.

Following President Mugabe’s meeting with Japan International Cooperation Agency (jica) president Mr Akehiko Tanaka and discussions on technical co-operation last year, the agency has extended a $15 million grant to Zimbabwe for the development of the 674 hectares of Nyakomba Irrigation Scheme in Nyanga.

JICA is an agency that co-ordinates official development assistance for the Government of Japan.

Over the period 1997-2000 the Japanese government funded phase one of the irrigation development for Nyakomba Irrigation Scheme at a cost of about $51,8 million.

  • Ziso

    Point of correction Mr. Editor. Japan is Western!

    The story sounds like Abe is the one strongly wanting something from Mugabe. But why does Mugabe have to fly all the way to Japan instead of the other way round? He can’t wait to run away from all the mess he has created

    You are right of course, China (eastern) and Japan (western) are almost on a war footing, they both hate each other, if Mugabe is seen to be doing business there it could be very tricky for further help from the “look East” policy.

    • succuba

      Mmmm… you didn’t seem to want to print my full post!!!

      I wonder why that is?

      Please explain Mr Editor.

        Had something censored?

        • succuba

          Edited got double post… apologies

        • succuba

          Why? It’s in the public domain for all to see.

          I thought this paper allowed free speech and news…. sadly I am wrong.

          • theheraldonline

            In this thread i do not see anything censored succuba. What is Theheraldonline without succuba dear? Kindly repost the comment if we missed it somehow.

          • succuba

            Ahh… thank you kind sir, my faith in you has been restored.

            The part of the comment removed was the part that answered Tongoona pertaining to the tracking of a flight last night from HRE (Zimbabwe).

            I merely pointed out to him that the flight left HRE at 6:05 pm last night, it did not go to Japan but went to (SIN) Singapore instead, where it is still there today.

            Thank You

          • theheraldonline

            Cool succuba. Good day hey.

          • succuba

            Pleasantries accepted and accordingly returned.

            Have a good one.

          • Observer gonzo

            I thought this was a good platform for Herald to receive crucial feedback on how people are reading and receiving their articles. The over-zealousness of the moderator has put me off like many others so we just reserve our comments or comment on the same article on relatively balanced The Chronicle! You will soon drop out and leave enough space for the likes of those muzvinavhu, lots to tickle the ears of the editor.

          • theheraldonline

            I thought we settled this with succuba? He did re-post the missing link and saw it elsewhere as I followed your discussions. Indeed this is a good platform Observer gonzo, which is why we have loosened up except for those who deliberately spam the platform in order to either smear others or merely frustrate.

  • Jonah15

    Phew that took long, I was wondering when the next trip by the Fist secretary was going to be on. Honestly the India trip was way back. I love the president he tells them don’t call me I will call you and don’t come I will come there pachezvangu.

    • Observer gonzo

      Sorry hako

  • Sadombo

    ** is the acting Prez

  • Nathan

    I recommend that all valued Herald readers to do the following:
    Go to Flightradar24 and check where UM1 went yesterday with the boss man, and where it still is: Singapore.

    Familiarise yourself with the conference programme for Bob. There is no real TCAD prep summit in Japan (at least we did not find any official summit note). The meetings that are mentioned in a Japanese newspaper are held between 27 and 31 March. So five day visit can’t be. Either Herald got the dates wrong or we are being lied to again.

    The most embarrassing, however, is that the Presiidnet and/or the Herad think that this cold be ‘Look East’. Japan – despite being in the East, like Australia – is an arch enemy of China, and traditionally aligned with ‘the West’. He is trampling on some feet here and I wonder if he even notices. Or if the Herald notices. Who knows. In the end, the President would fly anywhere including Britain and US as long as he can stop over in or cover up a trip to Singapore.

  • nelson moyo

    • succuba

      It looks like the Herald police have blocked my reply to you nelson even though they were no breach of terms & conditions.

      Looks like they are suffering from paranoia.

      It appears that the very mention of a second home for someone is a state secret.

  • wenjere

    Who really cares where the President and his lackies go on his useless trips? He does so little in the country when he is here – he may as well stay away. He will not be missed – except by his elite crony kleptocrats who get favours from him. The state is a joke. Seriouisly
    I send this the third time as the Herlald censors just delete it.

9 Teeny-Tiny Kitchens Packed With Character

Interested in downsizing but not ready to compromise on style? These pint-sized cooking spaces do it all.

By: Jessica Galliart
Show: Tiny Luxury

The tiny home movement sweeping the nation means something different to everyone: living more economically, going off the grid, being more mobile … But if we’ve learned anything from shows like Tiny Luxury on HGTV and DIY Network, it’s that aspiring tiny home owners may be looking to downsize, but they’re not necessarily willing to compromise on feeling at home — especially in their kitchens, the heart of their (tiny) home. Here are a few tiny kitchens that are proof positive that cutting back on square footage doesn’t have to mean cutting corners on style and eye-catching design features.

As seen on season 1 of Tiny Luxury , the kitchen in this tiny house is packed with high-end amenities including a four-burner stove, subway tile backsplash, granite countertop, stainless steel refrigerator and more.

Granite countertops are a must for many homeowners — including tiny home owners. This bite-sized kitchen also boasts a four-burner stove, a subway tile backsplash and a good-sized stainless steel refrigerator.

Here’s a space that has to work hard. This small but well planned kitchen is ready for food prep, cooking, dish washing and, most importantly, coffee-making.

Space is tight in this tiny home with a neutral (and natural) color scheme, but when everything has its place — like the efficient but impossibly charming camping style cups and utensils — the possibilities are endless.

If you’re going to splurge on a near-regular-sized refrigerator for your tiny kitchen, it might as well be a unique one. This old-fashioned mint green model perfectly ties this space together to give it a clean, vintage vibe.

Tiny homes don’t necessarily call for tiny views. The sizable window over the kitchen sink brings the outside in but leaves plenty of space for complementary (and functional) shelving for dishware.

This kitchen table-slash-workstation with a built-in spice rack would be stylish in any kitchen as is, but in a miniature one, it’s made even moreso, as it can fold up vertically to be flush with the wall.

Arcam CDS27 CD-player

Design of the model is quite traditional for Arcam - strictness, solidity and complete absence of any frills. The body is made of metallic grey panels; the facade is designed in the same palette. CD loader tray and two-line monochrome information display are hidden behind blacked-out plastic covers on the faceplate - there again with traditional green symbols. On the right there are power on button and four beads- playback control keys. It is enough for the navigation through CD, but for the control over network library you will have to look for other ways of communication with the device. You can use the remote control - it has the necessary navigation keys over menu. But in this case you will have to read the information from the display on the faceplate of Arcam CDS27 that, firstly, is not very handy, especially if the device is installed in a rack and a sofa or a chair are located at a distance, and, secondly, a two-line display is not the most optimal variant for the navigation through the library, especially in the age of touch screens of high resolution.

So, the best way of control over Arcam CDS27 will be the use of the special app for your smartphone or a tablet. Essentially, you can use any programmed player UPnP, but it would be better to install the branded app - ArcamMusicLife UPnP, available for iOS devices. Surely in order to use a smartphone or a tablet as an advanced remote control you should provide the connection of the player and gadget to one computer network.

It was a surprise to find out the lack of USB on the facade of Arcam CDS27 despite of the fact that the device supports playback of audio from external USB drives. Flash drives and discs will have to be connected to a port, located on the back wall of the body, especially if the component is installed in a rack. There is quite a lot of space inside the body. On the left side there is anoptical disk drive and on the right - power supply board with a small transformer. Two boards with digital and analog circuits are mounted near the back wall. The analog block is maximally removed from the power supply unit. Digital-to-analog conversion is carried out by popular chip -Burr Brown PCM1794 from Texas Instruments. This two-channel Delta-Sigma DAC is able to work with digital stream with the parameters up to 24bit/192kHz. The second chip from Texas Instruments - Burr Brown SRC4192I - is asynchronous converter of sampling frequency and is able to do upsampling of any input signal up to 24bit/192kHz.

Not only the wired interface Ethernet is provided for the integration into computer network, but wireless Wi-Fi networks are also supported. Setup of wireless connection is performed from the system menu and doesn't cause any difficulties.

Arcam CDS27 supports all popular formats of media files, excluding DSD. However, having the ability of the player to play SACD in mind, we can suppose that such possibility can appear in one of the new firmware. The only regret is that the device doesn't support CUE files, so releases, where music album is presented as a single WAV file or FLAC with accompanying CUE file, have to be divided into separate tracks before posting on a network server or on an external USB drive.

In various musical material Arcam CDS27 demonstrated a recognizable presentation, which can be described as British - balanced manner with well thought emotions and accents are combined here with very correct interpretation of rhythmic base, rounded but not muted high frequencies and assembled, elastic bass. We can note a neat relation of the source to the smallest touches of sound canvas, the ability to form a wide scene and quite dense, plastic timbres. In the end, the listening of test tracks, familiar to the smallest details, brought much pleasure.

Since its debut 65 years ago, the adidas Samba has been widely regarded as one of the Three Stripes’ top classics thanks to its nature of easy wearability. Now, 65 years later, the Samba is getting remixed and reborn as the adidas Samba ADV, featuring a brand new skateboard-centric design.

Designed to meet the modern skateboarder’s needs of comfort, board control and grip, the adidas Samba ADV features a combination of suede and leather on its upper, while an internal mesh bootie allows for responsive fit. Rounding out the look is a gum outsole with grippy traction.

To celebrate the release,  adidas Skateboarding Pro team riders Rodrigo TX, Benny Fairfax, and Tyshawn Jones qualify the Samba ADV with an action skate edit that sees them separately in their home turf and eventually skating together in NYC’s streets, subways, and abandoned warehouses.

The adidas Samba ADV is set to release at adidas stockists and the official adidas Skateboarding website starting January 1 for a retail price of $75 USD.

Why do we Tie Rakhi?

Sisters tying ‘Rakhi’ on brothers is an age-old Hindu tradition associated with the Rakshabandhan. On this day, the sister ties ‘Rakhi’ on her brother and who pledge to protect her from any danger. Tying of Rakhi is not limited to just brothers and sisters, it has wider dimensions in a multicultural society. But why do we tie Rakhi? Several reasons for this custom are found in the Hindu scriptures, history and folklore.

According to Hindu Mythology, the Rakhi tying custom was started primarily to help in the smooth functioning of the society and to instill confidence in the people. The rakhi or raksha used to be tied by a priest after conducting the necessary puja in a temple. The rakhi thus tied used to protect the person from all calamities during the year. And this used to take place in the holy month of Shravan (July – August).

A myth in the Bhavishya Purana suggests that Indra who was defeated by the demons in a battle lost all his confidence and arrived depressed at this palace. His wife Sachi, on the advice of her Guru, took a thread and uttered sacred verses of protection and tied it on Indra's hand. Soon Indra overcame his depression and defeated the demons.

Another famous myth regarding Raksha Bandhan is associated with Draupadi and Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna used his Sudharshana Chakra to kill Shisupala and in the process injured his finger. All the people present there ran to get a piece of cloth to tie his finger. But Draupadi tore a part of her sari and tied it on the bleeding finger of Krishna.

Krishna paid back for that small piece of cloth to Draupadi by elongating the sari that was being disrobed in front of all the people in the Hastinapura court by Dushasana.

Another legend involves King Bali and Goddess Lakshmi. The devotion of King Bali brought Lord Vishnu to his palace and Lord Vishnu decided to stay at the palace of Bali. Goddess Lakshmi did not like this and soon followed Lord Vishnu and appeared in front of King Bali. Seeing his devotion, Goddess Lakshmi accepted Bali as her brother and tied a ‘rakhi’ on him. King Bali then asked Goddess Lakshmi to ask anything that she wanted from his kingdom. She demanded the return of Lord Vishnu to Vaikunta. King Bali readily agreed. It is believed that the tying of Rakhi started from this day.

Yet another myth involves Yama and his sister Yami or Yamuna. Once Yami was strolling in the Yamaloka and finding her alone ‘Kama’, the god of love, decided to play a prank on her. Kama hit her with his love arrows and soon Yami was sexually aroused. Meanwhile, Yama reached the spot and was perplexed with the incestuous feelings of Yami. Yama soon realized that it was a prank of Kama and asked her to tie a Rakhi on his wrists. Yama told her that he will protect her from all unwanted desires and physical attacks.

There are numerous other stories and folklore associated with the tying of Rakhi. Two of the legends are part of history and involves Rani Karnawati and Emperor Humayun and Alexander the great and King Puru.

It is said that Rani Karnawati sent a Rakhi to Emperor Humayun when her kingdom was attacked by Sultan of Gujarat. Humayun understanding the significance of Rakhi soon came to the help of Rani Karnawati.

Alexander failed to defeat the fierce King Puru. Finding her husband’s army in danger, Alexander’s wife, who was aware of the Raksha Bandhan custom, sent a ‘rakhi’ to King Puru. It is said that King Puru accepted her as his sister and refrained from fighting Alexander.

If we dig into history, mythology and folklore we will find numerous other reasons for tying Rakhi. But the symbolism is always the same – Rakhi is a symbol of harmony and strength.

Luxurious, but worth it?

Highlight Story

The new Mercedes C-Class has an overall classy and stylish look, but an average on-road performance makes this sedan somewhat flawed

The good
Inspired directly from the S-Class, the new Mercedes C-Class brings forward the three-pointed star manufacturer’s latest design philosophy. It is highlighted through a prominent sporty grille comprising of an inserted star (Mercedes logo) and striking LED head lamp clusters, with day time running lights merging seamlessly into the side profile. A sharp edged line rising from the front to the rear door provides the sedan with a longer look. Tucked away below the rear bumper are exhausts that get better prominence due to the chrome treatment. Apart from this, the rear profile boosts of elegant tail lights and the overhang, which is distinctive in character.

IMG alt=image2 align=center src=""

Step inside and the cabin feels luxurious, with various elements on the dashboard. A large 8.4 inch TFT screen, three-circular AC vents and a waterfall inspired center-console bearing a glossy wood and aluminum finish around corners, gives the interiors quite a classy look. To top this, the brushed-aluminum switches provided on the console, further complement the cabin. Features like 3D navigation, touchpad in the center and the ambient lighting give a rich feel to the interiors. The seats in the front come with adjustable thigh-support, while there is good legroom with sufficient headroom at the rear.

The C-Class comes in two engine options — C 200 petrol and C 220 diesel. Both motors feel refined and come mated with a 7-speed automatic transmission. It offers 5 driving modes comprising of Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual, which lets you customise settings according to your needs. The car also comes with paddle-shifts as standard fitment. On the whole, the engine is pretty responsive — even at high speeds. Overall, this sedan is the best in comparison to its competition.

The bad
Speaking of the shortcomings, the rear seat does not offer enough thigh-support. Another glaring flaw that restricts occupancy is the high central transmission tunnel, which makes the C-Class apt for four passengers only. Also, the diesel engine comes across as a bit noisy, which can be a downside.

The ugly
In the Sports+ mode, the power plant really comes to life, but the synchronization of the transmission is a bit abrupt. With every shift, either up or down, there is a noticeable jerk, which was not to our liking. Putting it aside, in the rest of the modes, the gearbox is a bit sloppy, as it takes its own time to get going. With a decent ride quality, the odd pothole on the road can become an issue, as the suspension could give away a loud thud sound.

Is bollywood out of new ideas?

Highlight Story

With as many as six sequels and two remakes releasing in the last six months, and over 20 such projects in the making, it seems Bollywood is running out of original stories.

With films such as Race 2, Murder 3, Aashiqui 2, Shootout at Wadala and Chashme Baddoor having done above average business this year, fans will now get to see the sequels to Dostana, Tanu Weds Manu, and Ghayal and remakes of Khubsoorat, Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi, Masoom and Hero in the months to come.

Experts attribute the rise in the number of remakes and sequels to the lack of original scripts. “Gone are the times of great writers like Salim (Khan) and Javed (Akhtar). There is now a dearth of good writers in the industry. Most films today are copied,” says trade analyst Vikas Mohan. He adds that although talented storytellers do exist, not many want to take risks anymore. “Making a sequel involves less risk and assures good business. The makers opt for it because they know the audience is already connected with the story,” Mohan says.

“Yes, the industry is running out of original ideas. The commercial model of filmmaking is to revamp a story .... The aim is to make profit,” actor Ali Zafar, who starred in the recent remake of Chashme Baddoor (1981), was quoted as saying.

However, filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who is remaking the 1973 cult classic Zanjeer, says, “Sequels and remakes are happening world over. What’s wrong if a script has moved you and you want to retell the story your way? Plus, there is lot of pressure on the director because he knows his remake will be compared with the original.”

Top 10 cos add Rs 66,000 cr to Mcap

business Updated: Feb 02, 2009 00:03 IST
Highlight Story

The country's 10 most valued firms witnessed an addition of over Rs 66,000 crore in their market capitalisation last week, with Reliance Industries regaining the Rs two trillion valuation turf.

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries remained the numero-uno in the elite club of 10 most valued firms by adding Rs 27,077 crore to its market capitalisation.

Reliance Industries (RIL) regained the Rs two trillion mark after a gap of five weeks after its shares surged 15 per cent on the Bombay Stock Exchange during the week.

At the end of trade on Friday, the market capitalisation of RIL stood at Rs 2,08,559.98 crore, while it was at Rs 1,81,483 crore in the week-ago period.

At the end of Friday's trade, the market-cap of top 10 firms, comprising six public sector units and four private sector companies, witnessed an addition of Rs 66,049.75 crore in their valuation to Rs 1,044,684 crore.

Last week, the market capitalisation of 10 elite companies was Rs 9,78,634 crore.

Mining giant NMDC was the second biggest gainer in the top 10 club. It climbed up to the ninth spot from earlier 10th after adding Rs 8,504 crore to its valuation.

Power utility NTPC remained the country's most valued PSU entity with a market capitalisation of Rs 1,56,251 crore. It had added Rs 8,328 crore to its valuation in a week.

Trading firm MMTC was the lone loser in terms of valuation in last week's market. The company, which saw its marketcap erode by Rs 309 crore in the week, slipped to the seventh spot from the last week's fifth rank.

Electronic fund transfers set to become free

delhi Updated: Aug 20, 2012 13:41 IST
Highlight Story

In a move that would bring relief to bank customers, the government has asked the Reserve Bank to work out a framework under which funds could be transferred electronically free of charge from one account to the other.

These suggestions were made by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee in his address at a meeting with chief executives of the public sector banks, which among others, was also attended by RBI deputy governor K C Chakrabarty.

At present, banks charge between Rs.5 to Rs.55 for electronic transfer of funds from account of one bank to another through National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) and Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS).

"I would also urge upon Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to proactively work on this front and to see that all electronic banking transactions should be possible without any charges being levied," Mukherjee had said on Tuesday.

Cost free electronic transaction would encourage customers to use this medium for inter-bank as well as intra-bank fund transfer across the country.

The move would also help reduce cash movement and cash transaction, a senior official of a public sector bank said.

For outward transactions under RTGS mechanism, banks charge Rs.30 for electronic transfer of Rs.2 lakh to Rs.5 lakh and Rs.55 for amounts above Rs.5 lakh.

On the other hand, under NEFT the charges range between Rs. 5 and Rs. 25.

Citing example of Oriental Bank of Commerce, which has waived all charges for electronic transactions up to Rs.1 lakh, Mukherjee had said, "I am confident that all the public sector banks would follow this excellent initiative."

The department of financial services is working on the implementation of an action plan to bring the country's banking payment structure at par with global standards.

"Public sector banks must promote electronic mode of transactions over other modes. They should examine the possibility of making NEFT transactions upto Rs 1 lakh free of charges, as has been done by Oriental Bank of Commerce," Mukherjee had said.

He also told the bank chiefs to that the use of debit cards to the point of sale without any transaction charges at least for micro and small transactions should be their next objective.

Farmers should be able to buy their agricultural inputs by using their KCC-cum-debit cards at point of sale machines, without the use of cash, he said.

Also, all fair price shops should be similarly covered. "I would request all stakeholders to work in this direction so that use of cash could become less important," he added.

Two SPOs go missing with weapons in Kashmir

Highlight Story

Two Special Police Officers (SPOs) have gone missing along with their service rifles in south Jammu and Kashmir’s Kulgam district, officials said on Tuesday.

Ghulam Mohiuddin and Gul Mohammad left the District Police Lines in Kulgam town, around 75 km from here, on Monday night without informing any official.

“The two SPOs carried their AK-47 rifles and some magazines with them. They were posted in the area for five years and gave us no reason to believe that they could take a step like this,” said Mubashir Latifi, superintendent of police, Kulgam.

SPOs are hired by the state police to mainly work in and around the areas they belong to. Besides acting as troopers, they also liaise between the community and the police.

Two counter insurgents, Bashir Ahmad and Shakeel Ahmad, working with the police have also reportedly gone missing along with the two SPOs.

The counter insurgents are believed to have taken 450 rounds and two hand grenades after breaking open the weaponry chest of two constables.

It is suspected that the four renegades have deserted the police to join the ranks of the militants.

However, the police refused to confirm reports of the counter insurgents.

A case has been registered in the concerned police station in this regard and a hunt has also been launched to trace the missing personnel and the arms and ammunition.

“We have information that they have gone on their own and it is not a case of abduction. We have launched a manhunt and they will be arrested soon,” Latifi said.

Microwave Decalcification

I have been looking at the effects of decalcifying rodent feumr/knee joints
in the microwave with formic acid and have found that the process has left
the marrow looking somewhat "muddy" after staining with H&E.  The nuclei are
not crisp at all, and I have found that the effect worsens the longer the
bones remain in the microwave.  Any suggestions?  Should I try a different
decalcifying agent?  Or does this effect accompany all specimens decalcified
in the microwave?  Thanks in advance.

Ariana Grande: My Everything review – every so often a little shard of personality pierces the sheen

Ariana Grande

In pop, there are "good" girls and "bad" girls. Good and bad (not to mention "troubled") are, of course, lazy and tiresome pigeonholes in which to stuff female artists.

They come with assumptions about image, who makes better pop and who is in control of the decision-making. For the record, both whip-smart (good) Taylor Swift and heavy-lidded (bad) Rihanna make for excellent pop stars.

Ariana Grande is a good girl who shows little sign of being anyone's doormat. Until her recent earworm of a global smash hit, Problem (featuring Iggy Azalea), those born a few years before the new millennium would have probably struggled to recognise the Florida popstrel. Now she is the breakout singer of the summer and releasing her second album.

The 21-year-old crept up the ranks of Nickelodeon, retracing the path of the Disney cannon fodder (Timberlake, Spears, Aguilera) a generation before her. Grande starred in two hit kids' TV shows until last year, when she released a debut album, Yours Truly. She could run up and down octaves like a kid on the stairs, earning her instant "mini-Mariah" comparisons. The music, too, was orthodox retro pop-soul. It was all grown-up and house-trained. Polarising crudely, it was everything the "bad" Miley Cyrus was not.

Still aesthetically closer to Audrey Hepburn than a pole-dancer, Grande is, none the less, swiftly becoming a more versatile pop offering. That hit – Problem – has everything: a top-of-the-range vocal that recalls the breathless R&B of yesteryear (and, specifically, Amerie's wonderful 1 Thing) – a nagging sax loop and a timely guest vocal from ubiquitous rapper Azalea (a "bad" girl, balancing out the yin and yang). Rapper Big Sean whispers what Grande is thinking but can't say: "I got one less problem without ya."

Similarly, Grande's recent collaboration with Jessie J and Nicki Minaj, the persuasive Bang Bang, packs more decades-old references (the 2004 cover of Lady Marmalade by Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Pink and Mya) and features the line "you need a good girl to blow your mind". The biggest departure of all from Grande's previous aesthetic is Break Free. It's a blatant hi-NRG, EDM-citing attempt to win fans on the dancefloor, a strange land where the baby-faced, workaholic Grande remains a stranger. In the excellently camp video, Grande stars as a Barbarella upgrade who fires rockets out of her breasts.

The rest of this album, caught somewhere between lovelorn lady-music and intimations of a sex life, cannot live up to the simple pleasures in the singles. Every so often, a little shard of personality pierces the sheen. Featuring an interjection by Childish Gambino, Break Your Heart Right Back finds the song's protagonist losing out to a love rival. It's a boy, a fact underlined by a sample of I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross. More intriguing is Love Me Harder, where the saturated, mid-tempo atmospherics stand out. Turns out that glacial R&B man The Weeknd is involved. His own sleaze quotient is radically toned down here, but this remains sophisticated stuff, where Grande surprisingly holds her own.

It doesn't last. My Everything is one of those records in which le tout pop is invested: producers Max Martin, Shellback, David Guetta, Ryan Tedder, Benny Blanco, scores of others. Even One Direction's Harry Styles has a writing credit, on the predictable exercise in swelling piano, Just a Little Bit of Your Heart.

Song after song goes by far too slickly, showcasing Grande's good girl technical ability and her songwriters' hit-making formulae at the expense of lasting memories. Grande's defaults are sweet nothings and gymnastic melodics. It remains significant that My Everything opens on Intro, an introductory melisma.
