By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Adam_Stevens]Adam Stevens So you want a new car? These days when most people make a large purchase such as a car, theyre in the habit of borrowing the money, rather than saving for it. Debt is sometimes unavoidable, but the next time you decide to make a large purchase, have a think about the figures before signing on the dotted line. Lets assume you want to buy a new car for 10,000. There are two ways you could finance the purchase. You could borrow the money (lets say at 7.8% as thats a reasonable rate for a loan in this day and age), or you could save until youve got enough. If you borrowed the money at 7.8% over 5 years, your monthly payment would be just over 200 (assuming you dont take out loan protection). By the end of the loan you will have paid a total of 12,108 which means that that lovely new car (which is now 5 years old) has cost you not 10,000, but over 12,000. But what if you saved up for the car? Lets look at the figures again. This time, you save just over 200 each month for 5 years. After 5 years you have 12,000 in the bank. Every bit of it is yours and you havent paid a penny interest. Not only that, but rather than paying interest, youre earning it. And thanks to the magic of compound interest, that 12,000 has turned into 13,000 (assuming a net interest rate of 3.2%). So, you now have 13,000 in the bank. You buy a car, and still have 3,000 change. So whos the fool? The guy who pays 12,000 for the 10,000 car, or the guy who pays 10,000 for the 10,000 car and has 3,000 in the bank? Thats a different of 5,000. 50% of the cost of the car. Of course the advantage of the loan is that you get what you want now, whereas it takes time to save money. In which case, youd better start saving now. Sound too good to be true?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Carlo_Janee]Carlo Janee With each day passing by, mobile phones are increasingly becoming a necessity and with the technological advancements these mobile phones are becoming more feature-rich. Gone are those days when mobile phones used to be the gadget that helped to communicate. Today they are these gadgets that not only help to communicate but have also helped to simplify things on an everyday basis. These mobile phones have almost supplemented things like the camera, music players and also the PDA. The rise in technology has brought the all new SmartPhone that unites the cell phone with the PDA. A SmartPhone is basically a mobile phone that has the PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) embedded in it. As e all know the PDA is a minuscule handy device that has the features of a personal computer that includes document viewing, task and contact management, and definitely Internet access. A SmartPhone has all these features but the only difference between a PDA and a SmartPhone is that PDA is data-centric whereas the SmartPhone is an essentially voice-centric gadget. These SmartPhones include Internet, emailing access, scheduling or PIM software, contact management and can read documents like Word, Excel and PDF. These SmartPhones also have in-built features like the camera, music player and GPS navigation Some of the real good SmartPhones are the Blackberry, Palm Treo and Cingular. All these SmartPhones have some of the best features that suits professional as well as personal needs. They come with cameras, music players and applications that completely support the professional needs. The SmartPhones are indeed the smartest thing. It not only simplifies things but also has a good entertainment value. So just get yourself a SmartPhone and enjoy the smartness.

By Colin Holcomb For thousands of years green tea has been used by both the Chinese and Japanese as both an herbal medicine and a beverage. Recently the use of this tea as an herbal medicine gained notice in the western world as a part of the medical profession. The antioxidant and chemotherapuetic effects of the green tea have been studied in recent years. Both Switzerland and the United States have conducted recent research that indicates a strong connection between green tea and weight loss. An issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Urology published in December 1999, indicated a study where certain compounds in green tea extracts might promote weight loss. A group of ten healthy young men under went a research study at the University of Geneva under Dr. Abdul Dulloo. The men, who ranged in size from lean to mildly overweight, were given a typical American diet. With each meal the men were asked to take a capsule of green tea and caffeine. The results showed that more calories were burned on average by the men who took green tea capsules. This showed that it might not be a myth at all when it comes to the connection between green tea and weight loss. Green Tea and the Fight Against Fat The idea that green tea can be an active combatant against fat may be another way that green tea and losing weight may be connected. The fat content of a body must be reduced in order to truly lose weight and get healthy. A recent study showed that every day for three months those who drank a bottle of tea fortified with green tea lost more body fat than those who drank regular oolong tea. There seems to be a link between green tea nad losing weight even if the exact connection isnt known, at least in the case of losing fat. Another Possible Connection Between Green Tea and Losing Weight Another reason why green tea and losing weight might be connected wasnt mentioned in the above studies. This is the fact that green tea, unlike any other tea, has the ability to satisfy people. There is a good possibility that a person will eat less and thus lose weight by drinking a glass or two with a meal. In addition you cant rob your body of hydration with green tea since there are no sugars or additives that causes fat and water weight to stay on the body rather than being shed as calories are burned. Colin Holcomb is writer of Green Tea Information. He also writes on green tea diet and green tea home remedies.

By Maureen Metcalf In the distance clouds of dust and debri billow upward as a bulldozer rips into a building that was once part of the former township of Ganei Tal. In the foreground of the same picture stands an empty, abandoned, little red baby carriage. This haunting picture was posted on the Jerusalem World Review website, August 23, 2005, along with the article, Displaced Gazan Jews Struggle To Come to Grips With Surrender, by Joel Greenberg. The communities of Gaza and the Northern Shomron have been emptied of all Israeli families. There are no more infants in carriages, or children playing in the streets. Although there is pain and many tears, fond memories and strong determination remain in the hearts of the uprooted settlers. But, the lonely, abandoned, red baby carriage stands as a reminder that, although now empty, Jewish families will return to Ganei Tal, and indeed to all the communities of Gaza, and the Northern Shomron. The baby carriage is red, the color of the price of redemption. Therefore, the little baby carriage represents the generation of divine deliverance and salvation for the entire Israeli nation. Yes, even the young children were forced out of their homes by the misguided, cruel, faithless, human Israeli government decree. But there is a greater edict of blessing already promised by the L-rd G_D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The families, including the children of those now removed, will return in absolute victory over their enemies, to live forever in Gaza and the Shomron, and Jews will dwell securely throughout all the Land of Covenant. Israeli families will build houses and plant gardens, and no one else will live in the homes they have built, or make their communities desolate, or take over their agriculture and businesses. Psa 128:1 Blessed is every one that feareth the L_RD; that walketh in his ways. Psa 128:2 For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psa 128:3 Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table. Psa 128:4 Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the L_RD. Psa 128:5 The L_RD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. Psa 128:6 Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel. Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the L_RD pitieth them that fear him. Psa 103:14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust. Psa 103:15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. Psa 103:16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Psa 103:17 But the mercy of the L_RD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; Psa 103:18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. Eze 37:25 And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children’s children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever. Eze 37:26 Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore. Eze 37:27 My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their G-d, and they shall be my people. Eze 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the L_RD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. Psa 105:4 Seek the L_RD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Psa 105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; Psa 105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. Psa 105:7 He is the L_RD our G-d: his judgments are in all the earth. Psa 105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. Psa 105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; Psa 105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: Psa 105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: Psa 105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. Psa 105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; Psa 105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Psa 105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. The little red baby carriage represents innocence and purity. When the chosen nation turns wholeheartedly to the L_RD in truth and repentance, the Land will be restored to those who are pure before G-d. It is interesting to note that there has been a spiritual awakening sweeping among those who dwell in Gaza and the Shomron, and it is spreading quickly to the IDF soldiers, the police, and many citizens of the nation. Folk have found themselves embraced togther, praying and studying Torah like never before! If there is one positive that has arisen out of this whole Withdrawal, it has been a spiritual re-kindling — not just religious observance, but heart-felt awareness that HaShem indeed is the L-rd G_D of Israel! Many have been seeking G-d for a miracle. That miracle is indeed coming to pass! We must be careful not to miss, or dismiss, this miracle. The miracle is the return of the hearts of the people to the L_RD! When this miracle is brought to completion, the Land will be restored! The miracle is an ever increasing wave sweeping through all the generations now alive in Israel, from the eldest to the youngest! Gaza will be restored to Israel when Moshiach comes, and that day is quickly drawing near. Scripture appears to indicate the redemption of the Land will be fulfilled during the third generation from the founding of the present nation. Those who founded Israel in 1948 are now grandparents. Their children, the generation of the 1967 Six Day War, are the parents of a third generation of youth and young adults. These children are now entering the age of marriage, and many are beginning to have young families of their own, and are entering into the fabric of life in Israel. These, along with their parents and grandparents, will see the redemption of Israel! Then, the little ones now being born will re-enter Gaza, and all the Land of Covenant! All these generations together will witness and experience the blessings of the Everlasting Covenant G-d made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob! When is this prophetic fulfillment of the Land Covenant to transpire? In Psalm 105, verses 11, and 12, King David indicated all will finally come to fruition during a time when, even though Israel exists as a nation, many Jews still live in Diaspora, “strangers” still dwell in the land, and during a time-frame when Israel’s enemies are seeking to “touch” G-d’s anointed nation, and to harm G-ds prophets according to verse 13. That sounds like a description of the current Israeli demographic! The warning to Israel’s enemies, and the nations, is in the imperative tense, implying “Don’t touch my anointed people or prophets, or else!” That smacks of judgment upon any nation or individuals who are desirous of tearing Israel apart. The time of G-ds wrath will now come about, because the nations, and Israel’s enemies are “touching” G-d’s anointed! Even Israel will be disciplined, because Israels leadership has also touched the innocent anointed G-d fearing Jewish “Settlers.” Why has the L_RD allowed the Withdrawal, rather than intervening in answer to the many prayers that have gone up? The L_RD must deal with Israel’s enemies, and at the same time draw Israel, which still has a strong influential secular faction, back to Himself. This is part of the redemption process for Israel, and for the Land of Covenant. Israel’s enemies, and Israel as a nation, are about to encounter the outstretched Hand of the L_RD for what they have now done in dividing the Land! Israel will now come face to face with HaShem, and be brought to humility and complete repentance. And, although this will come about through the rigors of discipline, it will also result in great blessing! Also, the Temple must soon be built, which means Israel’s enemies who occupy the Temple Mount must be ousted, not by radicals or terrorists, but by the direct intervention of the L_RD. That scenario is now due to unfold, because the focus of all nations is being drawn, whether we like it or not, toward Jerusalem and Mount Zion. Joel 2: 32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the L_RD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the L_RD hath said, and in the remnant whom the L_RD shall call. This is to be fulfilled during the time-frame when all nations are brought into the Middle East regarding the parting of my land according to Joel chapter 3. The division of the Land is the catalyst. That catalyst has now come about! Redemption requires sacrifice. Sacrifice is not without loss of personal gain. Is the Withdrawal part of this sacrifice and pain for Israel? It very well may be! Why? Because Israel must be brought to rely upon G_d alone! It is apparent only He can turn the entire situation around. The redemption of Israel is now on the path toward fruition! The Withdrawal is not the beginning of the end for Israel. Israel will not be driven into the sea! From our perspective, the Withdrawal is an apparent set-back, but perhaps the L_RD allowed it to cause the hearts of the nation to examine their spiritual condition, and to realize that salvation does not come about because of man’s decrees or decisions, but is solely dependant upon the L_RD, the Redeemer of Israel! Man’s attempt to solve the Palestinian situation through concessions and retreat has, and will, prove futile. The man-made red carriage sits, forlorn, in the midst of desolation and destruction. It is not able to carry the children safely anymore, but has been left behind, intact, but empty and abandoned. The L_RD, the Redeemer of Israel, will not put Israel into a man-made carriage. Rather, He will sweep Israel into His strong everlasting arms, and will lovingly, even through the midst of distress, carry the sons and daughters of Jacob to their inheritance. Isa 40:9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your G_d! Isa 40:10 Behold, the Lord G_D will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isa 40:11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Such appears to be the message of the red baby carriage of Ganei Tal!!

By Ronald Hudkins A durable power of attorney is given by a person to another person to act in their place given a specific set of circumstances or activating condition. If you must have a real-estate deal go through on time and you are concerned that you may not be in the area, you could give another person power to close the deal in your absence. The person who gets the power is called the agent, which is a term not unfamiliar to those who do business, and the person who gives it is called the principle. The problem is that in a normal principle/agent relationship, the agents power ends when the principle becomes incapacitated. This is because the principle is responsible for the agents actions and normally wants to reserve the right to stop the agent from doing outrageous things with their assets while they are unconscious. However, the rise of medical technologies that can cause a person to be unconscious for extended periods of time have caused many principles to want to have agents who can act in their place while they are alive and unconscious. So, many states have created the durable power of attorney to overcome this problem. The agents power survives incapacity if it is durable and is terminated by recovery or death. A durable power of attorney is created immediately or upon some event that causes it to become effective. Usually, the durable power of attorney becomes effective when the principle becomes incapacitated. The power that exists in any principle/agent relationship is what is referred to in law as the scope of the agency. The scope of the agency defines what powers the agent has or, in other words, what decisions the principle is turning over to them. Can the agent sell the principles property (as in the first example), withdraw money from the principles accounts or pay the principles bills? Because many principle/agent relationships are revocable by the principle, sometimes banks will not loan money to the principle at the agents request, because they are worried that the principle will wake up and say that the power was never intended. So, if you want your agent to have a durable power of any kind, it is important to be specific about that power or what is again called the scope of the agency. However, the more power the agent is given, the more like a trustee they seem to be. So there is a Goldie Locks problem of giving the durable power of agency enough express power to do what needs to be done, without giving them too much power of attorney. But, the primary reason for the creation of a durable power of attorney is to give the agent the power to make health care decisions. For many other kinds of decisions a trust is the better instrument, but again it is important to stress that you have options when you plan your estate. Typically, the agent with the durable power of attorney is created to be able to be an advocate for the decisions that the principle has already made in the form of the advanced directive or the living will. It is vital that the person you choose to have your durable power of attorney must be someone who you feel will be able to honor your wishes about very serious matters of life and death. Moreover, it might be better to have several people who are able to do this because the hardship of following through on some of the more life and death aspects of a living will make it easier to have a group of people do it, because they will be able to give each other support.

By Timothy Cole The loss of trust is a very painful experience. It often involves a lot of hurt, confusion, anger, and sadness. Dealing with these emotions is critical when trying to rebuild trust. When upset, we want our partners to understand our point of view - to understand our feelings and emotions. Understanding how we feel is important because it helps us deal with our negative feelings and move beyond them. If a partner does not take the time to make us feel understood - we try to get even - we try to make our partners feel as bad as we do. Even though it sounds childish, when someone does not understand our hurt or pain - we try to make them feel what we are feeling (this is often an unconscious response). Not feeling understood, often leads to a game of inflicting mutual hurt. In most cases, partners do not take the time to make us feel understood because they do not know how to do it OR because they get defensive (feel under attack). When accused of wrongdoing, people often try to…apologizeoffer excuses and explanationswithdrawor even attack back… These strategies do NOT work because they fail to create real understanding. Simply put, people need to feel understood before apologies are offered and explanations are given. It is virtually impossible to rebuild trust until people who have been harmed feel understood. So, when trying to build or repair trust - it helps to see the situation from a partner’s point of view. Try to understand why the other person is so upset - directly acknowledge his or her feelings (”you are angry, hurt, confused”) and his or her interpretation of the situation (”and, you have every right to be upset, because what I did was wrong.”) You basically have to agree that the other person’s feelings are legitimate and fair - let the other person know that you get it. If you can do this, trust is going to be much easier to regain. If you can make someone feel understood when they are upset, they are more likely to…calm downforgive youfeel closerlisten to your side of the story… If you don’t take the time to understand your partner’s feelings, rebuilding trust is much more difficult to do. But, once you make a partner feel understood, it becomes possible to offer an effective apology. Timothy Cole, PhD.

By Dina M. Giolitto So you noticed the new job board posting on your way back from lunch. They finally decided to fill the assistant manager spot in your department! Trouble is, you’ve only been in your current position for about eight months. There’s also been some talk of hiring from outside. Should you go for it anyway? Here are some ways to tell if it’s time to power up the corporate ladder. 1. You’re currently one notch lower than assistant manager. If your job title includes the word Senior, then you’ve likely earned some recognition at your place of employment. Is assistant manager the next step up? Why not give it a shot? The worst thing that can happen is that you don’t get the job… and hey, there’s always next time. When you go for the gold, people will realize you’re quite a gem. Start getting noticed for your ambition and drive! 2. A large portion of the department responsibilities falls into your lap. Don’t underestimate your own worth. If you’re currently doing the work of two or more people and doing it well, then you should be compensated for it. Is it possible you were overlooked? Don’t feel slighted. Negativity holds us back from getting where we want to be. Instead, take a strategic leap forward. Sometimes people get so wrapped up in their own issues, they fail to see what’s before their eyes. You know the job like the back of your hand, and that’s far more than a stranger off the street knows. Speak up and make your capabilities known! 3. Your manager consistently looks to you for solutions. If you’re playing problem-solver at the office, that’s a pretty good sign that people value your input. What better indicator of your ability is there than a boss who seeks you out for answers? Does your supervisor come in from meetings and immediately drag you away for a private pow-wow? You’ve already got a foot in the door! Now get the rest of yourself behind that desk in the corner office for a view of the skyline! 4. Your manager confides in you regularly. Are you the Big Cahuna’s main confidante? Good office chemistry is hard to come by. If your boss trusts you with everything from top-secret office rumors to “what to do with that belligerant marketing coordinator,” to the fight he had with his wife last night, this speaks volumes about his opinion of you. Sounds like you’ve very naturally clicked into Position 2 in the chain of command. Time to lock in to more money and an official manager status on paper. 5. You’re well-known and respected among your colleagues. Do people smile and greet you by name when you walk into a group setting? Do managers of other departments frequently solicit your opinion? When the boss is away, do your peers appoint you to act in his absence? Being the office social butterfly is one thing. To know that your fellow employees admire and respect you for the job you do is another. One of the biggest indicators you’re ready for a promotion is if your boss’s boss has faith in your ability. Having a support system in place works in your favor and can be the ‘in’ you need to get ahead. 6. You’re often asked to represent your team of coworkers in meetings. As much as we dread them, meetings are a vital part of daily corporate life. Meetings are where opinions are voiced, issues are hashed out, schedules are coordinated and progress is made in leaps and bounds. A great leader can speak on behalf of a group. A great leader can effectively communicate in all directions- from upper management to lower, from lower to upper, and also laterally. If people place their faith in your ability to get a message across, that means they’re willing to let you represent them. There is no better indicator of management potential than being summoned as a spokesperson. Take it as a great compliment, and then take the next step toward your success! 7. You feel personally responsible for the welfare of your department. Do you find yourself thinking and speaking for the group? Are your peers in your best interest? Often, you can sense when you’re ready for a position of increased responsibility. The true commandier operates from the point of view of ‘we’ instead of ‘me.’ Do you feel genuine pride when a member of your team goes above and beyond the call of duty? Do you act as the automatic diplomat and defender? When a coworker encounters a setback, are you truly moved to help them overcome their problem? Do you empathize with their disappointments? Rejoice in their victories? It’s time to heed the call! 8. Your peers look to you as an advisor and comrade. Corporate life is full of folks at cross-purposes. Clashing wills, clashing personalities, misunderstandings, injustices of all kinds. If you have a gift for navigating through the rough waters, smoothing ruffled feathers and healing bruised egos, maybe it’s time to seriously think about moving up. Trust is earned, not bought. If you have been offered the gift of others’ trust in a setting where people mow over each other to get ahead, that is truly a great thing. Use it for the good of the group! 9. You truly love your job. You know in your heart how you feel about your job. Do you dread getting up every morning?

By Rotich Wilson On October 17 1979 Mother Teresa of Calcutta in India was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for work undertaken in the struggle to overcome poverty and distress which also constitute a threat to peace. Had it been now would she have tried to overcome terror that is fuelled by religious hostilities? She declared in her prize acceptance speech that I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing- direct murder by mother himself-, .Because if a mother can kill her own child what is left for me is to kill you and you kill me-there is nothing between {http:// nobelprize.org/peace/ laureates/1979/teresa- lecture.html} If that laureate would still be alive now then she would have said that the greatest hindrance to peace today is terror, because terrorists do plan to eliminate the person they fear or hate. They are actually so intimate with death that they do not seem to love life. They do not operate by the rules and are willing, if necessary to die to deliver their explosives to their target and they do not care who dies with them. Indeed there seem to be no physical protection against these terrorists who are bedevilling our world. With the assumption that the western world is Christian while most of the nations allegedly being forced to adopt democratic governance are Islamic or do belong to the eastern, or even traditional religions, then religion becomes the main world problem. In August this year, president Bush of America used terms likeIslamic fascists for both Hezbollah and the suspected bomb plotters who were held in London. The same week, during a press conference in his ranch in taxes, he said that terrorists try to spread their jihadist message- a message I call—Islamic radicalism, Islamic fascism. Those statements offended a vast majority of moderate Muslims. To their defence, it may be true that there is nothing Islamic about the fascism of terrorists. Its true that the UN which is presently the supreme world body does not favour or oppress any religion. Indeed the UN and the US relieved the Muslims from the Christian oppression in the Yugoslavia in the 1990s. As a matter of fact, the US has put it in its Bill of Rights, Amendment I that congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Mf Rotich/Teresa/2 This law that does not respect or prohibit religion is becoming the best recipe for peace in a word which is bedevilled by the debacle of religious hostilities. Barely a decade ago, in December 1998, a brawl in Poso, one of the islands of Indonesia, led to months of religious violence in which hundreds died. Poso is in central Sulawesi, the fourth largest Indonesian island which has 80% Muslims and 17% Christian residents. In July this year the Hezbollahs attack on Israel caused hostilities in Lebanon and caused hundreds of deaths and injuries on both sides. Infrastructure experienced extensive damage and several persons were internally displaced. On 9th October this year, North Korea bravely made its first nuclear test in defiance of the will of the international community. It provocatively showed -off its possession of weapons of mass destruction. Laureate Teresas solution to the current problem that is robbing the peace would be ecumenism.she once said that,there is only one God and he is God to all, therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. Ive always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better muslim, a catholic become a better catholic. She offered her work in the missionary of charity organisation as an example of the benefit of ecumenism. She said that we have among us 475 souls -30 families are catholics, and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs-all different religions. But they all come to our prayers.{http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/1513a.htm} After series of serious wars and rumors of wars which have presumed religions overtones, world leaders should be now thinking of gifting the chaotic and insecure world with peace premised on one world with one creed. This automatically calls for all religions of the world to borrow a leaf from the hindus whose supreme being has already said that in whatsoever way men approach me, even so do I receive them, for even the paths men take from every side are mine. {Gita IV, 11}. This has made Hindus to peacefully co-exist with other religions by not lobbying for more members. Lobbying is among others what causes religious hostilities. To Christians this does not come as a surprise but as a fulfilment of the scripture that says work while it is still day time because night will come (Amos 8:11-12). When the night is already due then the believers of those scriptures should accept to down their tools and accept the dictates of its fulfilment. The pope Benedict who recently inadvertently offended Muslims in his speech in Germany should realize that it is time to embrace the post Vatican II Catholicism. This catholism states in part that, Islam, Hinduism,Buddhism, Judaism, and any other religion which seek to help humans to overcome their sense of alienation from ultimate realities are all valid a venues to salvation.

By Jonni Good All surgeries have risks, and gastric bypass surgery is no exception. A recent study of Medicaid patients found the rate of serious complications, including death, to be far higher than previously recognized. Risks can be reduced (but not eliminated), by having your surgery performed at a fully approved ASBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence (BSCOE). The most common form of weight loss surgery is the Roux-en-Y. In this procedure the surgeon reduces the size of the stomach and redirects a portion of the upper intestinal tract. This is the type of surgery most people are referring to when they mention a gastric bypass. It has been reported that both Al Roker and Carnie Wilson had this procedure. Another form of surgery that is more popular in Europe than the United States is called a laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding procedure, or Lap-Band. This procedure creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach, and an adjustable opening to the lower portion of the stomach. In this type of procedure, the patients intestines are not rerouted. Ann Wilson, the lead singer of the rock band Heart, chose this procedure to help her lose weight. The gastric bypass procedure has a higher initial average rate of weight loss, and a higher incidence of complications, than the Lap-Band procedure. However, both types of surgery will help most people lose weight, and they both have their risks. Among the more common complications and side effects of weight loss surgeries are:ar Dumping Syndrome The dumping syndrome is most common in gastric bypass surgeries, and is rarely experienced by gastric banding patients. After surgery, patients often have difficulty tolerating sugary foods, or foods high in fat, including red meat. If these foods are eaten, even in small quantities, the patient will experience nausea, bloating, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Potatoes can also trigger this syndrome. Although the symptoms are very uncomfortable, the dumping syndrome may actually help post-surgical patients stick with their healthy diet by making it impossible to eat high-calorie foods loaded with simple carbs. Dumping syndrome is most common during the first year, but will never completely go away for gastric bypass patients. Blood Clots Studies have shown that blood clots in the legs occur in about 0.2% of Roux-en-Y patients. Blood thinners are usually given to post-operative patients, and compression stockings may be suggested. Walking soon after surgery is also important, as it is after any type of surgery. Patients are asked to contact their doctor if they notice any unusual swelling in their legs, or shortness of breath. Leakage Approximately 1% of gastric bypass patients will experience leakage of foods from the stomach into the abdominal cavity. This is a serious complication, so post-operative patients are carefully monitored, and they will be restricted to a water fast until the surgeon is convinced that all is well. If leakage is observed, the patient will need to go back to the operating room. Gallstones Gallstones and gall bladder infections are common when anyone begins to lose weight quickly. This problem is not confined to surgical patients people on low-calorie diets should also contact a doctor immediately if they experience the symptoms of gallstones. Gallstones are made up of cholesterol and bile salts. It is believed that rapid weight loss temporarily increases the amount of cholesterol released into the bloodstream for removal by the gallbladder. Symptoms of gallstones may include any one or more of the following: Severe pain in the upper abdomen Pain in the upper back Pain under the right shoulder Nausea or vomiting Abdominal bloating Recurring intolerance of fatty foods Heartburn that lasts longer than expected Gallstones can be quite dangerous if not treated early enough, so anyone who is losing weight quickly should seek medical attention if they experience any of these symptoms. Other less common complications may also occur, including nutritional deficiencies, infections, and even death. If you’re considering gastric bypass or Lap Band surgery you should discuss all possible complications with your surgeon, so you can be prepared for any abnormality. This will help make sure you recognize any problem that may occur and seek immediate medical care. Find out more about common gastric bypass complications, the cost of gastric bypass surgery, and what to expect after weight loss surgery.
