Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia, is a general term for digestion-related pain or discomfort in the abdomen. Symptoms of indigestion include heartburn, excess gas, bloating, burping, and feeling too full after a normal meal. Diabetes is a condition where the amount of sugar in the blood is too high. The pancreas produces a hormone called insulin, which helps to control the amount of sugar in the blood. If pancreatic cancer stops the pancreas working properly,
He attended medical school at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine graduating in1983. He completed his internship at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Philadelphia and his Emergency Medicine residency at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx, where he served as chief resident. Therefore, although the drug companies are well aware that GERD isnâ€™t caused by too much stomach acid and that low stomach acid causes serious health problems and complications, they continue to sell billions of dollars worth of antacids to an unsuspecting public. Even worse, these powerful drugs are now available over-the-counter with no warnings about the dangers they present. Curing a disease means eliminating its cause.
When glucose levels become excessive in the bloodstream, glucose is deposited onto nerves and become like a syrup that poisons the inside of these cells, he explains. â€œIf that persists for a very long time, the nerves can actually die off,â€ and that damage to nerves in your gut can also cause other serious complications to diabetes, including kidney dysfunction and retinopathy, or damage to eyes.
Until they do, you should try to take your metformin with a meal. You can also try reducing the amount you take for a few days and gradually increasing it until youâ€™ve reached the amount your doctor has prescribed for you. If youâ€™re worried an upcoming dinner will leave you feeling the burn, try DGL (deglycyrrhizinated licorice), says Rose.
High blood sugar may occur if you do not exercise as much as usual, have a fever or infection, do not take enough or skip a dose of your diabetes medicine, or overeat or do not follow your meal plan. To prevent and manage high blood glucose levels in people with diabetes keep a log of your blood sugar levels, eat foods that are high in carbohydrates sugar, for example, buttered potatoes, candy, sugary deserts, and fatty foods that you can share with your doctor and other healthcare professionals. Hemoglobin A1c TestHemoglobin A1c or HbA1c is a protein on the surface of red blood cells. The HbA1c test is used to monitor blood sugar levels in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes over time.
Because many symptoms of a heart attack are similar to those of common pregnancy discomforts, discuss heart attack awareness with your health care provider if you have any risk factors for heart problems. These include persistent high blood pressure, diabetes, eclampsia or preeclampsia, and getting pregnant later in life. The main symptoms of a heart attack and heartburn sometimes are nearly indistinguishable, says cardiovascular medicine specialist Mouin Abdallah, MD. Sometimes medical testing is necessary to determine whatâ€™s going on, he says. People at high risk for heart trouble due to diabetes and other factors should also pay attention to heart-attack symptoms that whisper instead of shouting – particularly unusual fatigue, shortness of breath or pain in the chest, shoulders, arms or back that come on during regular exercise or physical work.

- Gastroparesis affects how the stomach moves food into the intestines and leads to bloating, nausea, and heartburn.
- Heart attacks may cause symptoms often are mistaken for indigestion.
- While a lax lower esophageal sphincter (LES) plays a role in the mechanics of reflux problems, the dynamics of the upper part of the stomach – called the fundus – may also become impaired through a failure to relax and to accommodate the food entering the stomach.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms. Heâ€™ll also do a physical exam, and he may check your blood sugar. He might also suggest other tests. Most people with gastroparesis have had diabetes for at least 10 years and also have other complications related to the disease. Most episodes of indigestion go away within hours without medical attention.
Other symptoms of gastroparesis, by the way, include nausea, vomiting, bloating, and early satiety, or fullness. Gastroparesis affects how the stomach moves food into the intestines and leads to bloating, nausea, and heartburn. When diabetes causes the condition, doctors call it diabetic gastroparesis. Fortunately, however, heart attacks among pregnant women are still very rare, although the rate has gone up slightly in recent years.
While a lax lower esophageal sphincter (LES) plays a role in the mechanics of reflux problems, the dynamics of the upper part of the stomach – called the fundus – may also become impaired through a failure to relax and to accommodate the food entering the stomach. This impairment may cause a postprandial (after-eating) reflux, early feeling of fullness, and discomfort or pain after eating. To compound the picture further, some individuals may have acid reflux that produces symptoms, but not necessarily show any damage to the esophageal lining.

Excerpts from the Article:
President Obama’s nominee to be the State Department’s legal adviser has ignited a fury among conservative critics who say his views are a threat to American democracy — an accusation the White House on Tuesday called “outrageous” and “completely baseless.”
Former Clinton administration official Harold Koh, who has been dean of the Yale Law School since 2004, once wrote that the U.S. was part of an “axis of disobedience” with North Korea and Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
Koh also has long held that the U.S. should accept international law when deliberating cases at home…(this appointment) will give Koh far-reaching influence over the extent to which international norms affect U.S. law.
“This is not a desk job. This guy will be the face of American international law around the world,” said Steven Gross, legal expert and fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
“The top legal adviser at State travels extensively and is involved in international legal negotiations, treaties and in major United Nations conferences.
“The president should have the right to choose the most conservative or liberal legal advisers to give them advice, but this is much more than that. The concern is that he cares as much about — if not more about — international law and integrating that into the American judicial system than he does about protecting American prerogatives and American sovereignty,” Gross said.
Koh also advocates a “transnational legal process” and has criticized the U.S. for its failure to “obey global norms.”
In an article published in the Berkeley Journal of International Law in 2004, Koh wrote, “What role can transnational legal process play in affecting the behavior of several nations whose disobedience with international law has attracted global attention after September 11th — most prominently, North Korea, Iraq and our own country, the United States of America? For shorthand purposes, I will call these countries ‘the axis of disobedience.'”
“This is international imperialism. Under Koh’s plan, the Constitution would become secondary and international law would take precedence regardless of what Americans said about the matter.”

If there’s anything the average American loves more than their television entertainment, it’s their smart phones. Our time spent in front of a screen has increased by leaps and bounds since the invention of the Internet and mobile computing, to the point where eMarketer notes that the average person invests more hours of their day in their computer than they do on their favorite TV shows. How has the availability of mobile apps changed the TV dynamic? Click ahead to find out!
We now share information about our viewership and opinions with our social circles. Yahoo! acquired IntoNow in 2011 with the hopes of integrating viewership of TV with Facebook and Twitter so that new audiences can connect. For the app-conscious, this means that you can watch TV while browsing your smart phone and getting replies, and can even go so far to ask your friends to compare DIRECT TV and Time Warner Cable to see which they prefer. For the cable companies, this means that they need to play catch-up to give customers the social integration they want.
Who Pays The Bills?
In a world where consumers want to watch television without commercials and sponsors want customers to watch commercials without television, can mobile apps offer a happy medium? Plenty of TV providers are hoping so. FierceMarkets reminds consumers that they only foot about half the bill of television entertainment, but also projects that Internet advertising will funnel in about $5 billion each year by 2015 to TV providers. Apps help to alleviate the concern about the balance between commercials and content, since most digital TV contains a bare minimum of commercials (some, none at all) but allow users to spend money in other ways. Apps can re-direct a customer to the advertiser’s website in order to get a direct sale that would not have been possible from the couch. Nevertheless, TV providers can expect revenue from ads to continue to come regardless of how the Internet audience fares.
The company that brought Blockbuster to its knees now has even bigger target in its crosshairs: the entire TV market. Netflix wants to bring its services to your home on, according to its press release, anything with an Internet connection, with compatible devices ranging from video game consoles to Roku units to entire smart TVs. Even more importantly, however, they’ve launched their own original line of programming with hit TV shows like House of Cards, the first app-specific provider to do so. They still maintain the shows that grace basic and advanced programming, but may look to expand aggressively in the future. This leaves cable companies to wonder if their original programming no longer needs to compete with just other channels on the TV, but also with e-platforms including titans like Google and Apple.

For some reason there are all kinds of little bits of misinformation about the middle ages floating around out there. Most of them were started by Victorians and their romantic versions of history based on smatterings of data, but some were caused by badly researched fantasy or by things that have somehow unknowingly become tropes of the genre.
Here are some things that are not true.
People were shorter back then. Wrong. Archaeological evidence shows that people were just as tall at their full height. What may have led to this is that a poor diet may have caused people to take longer to grow to their full height, leaving many children to continue growing as late as 12 or 14.
People looked like they were super old at 30. Not sure how this one got started. Documentary and archaeological evidence shows us that people aged at generally the same rate (though perhaps a hard life of being a cotter could make you look a bit older earlier). Anyway, plenty of people lived to a ripe old age. The reason the "average age" is so low is that there were MANY stillbirths or child deaths, lowering the average. If you reached the age of five you were probably going to live for a fairly long time, but between 0-5 was a killer.
Knights wore plate armor. For MOST of the middle ages (600-1325ish) there was no plate armor. That means that chainmail was the most common form of armor throughout a huge period. Plate armor didn't begin to circulate again until the 14th century with the beginning of partial plate.
There was no change, development, or intellectual growth. That may seem true from the outside, especially since most of our sources from the early middle ages (the so-called "dark ages") are so thin on sources and later periods attack them for their ignorance. However, deep sea-changes in fashion, theology, technology and social formations happened continuously throughout the middle ages.
People never bathed. This is partially true. Noblefolk bathed more often than non-nobles, and the wealthy tended to wear pomanders filled with cloves and orange to mask their smell. However, never is a long time, and people bathed much more often than jokes and literature about the middle ages would have you believe.
The Nobility were a "class." Nobility was more like an adjective. Not until long after the middle ages in the pre-modern period did nobility become a closed class based on blood. People could "have nobility," and even "be gentle," but that did not preclude others from attaining access to this as well. Social mobility between the upper strata of freemen and the lower strata of nobility was actually fairly common, the barrier being at least semi-permeable.
Knights, chivalry, and courtly love ruled the day. Courtly love was an aspect of high medieval culture, and it has been greatly exaggerated in its importance. This is mostly the fault of C.S. Lewis, who loved courtly love. In fact, it may have just covered up affairs and the like, and either way was much less common than is generally supposed. In any event, the "practice" (hardly a set institution) was begun in the late high middle ages.
Peasants were all poor and benighted. Peasant is a word that signifies a free man of ignoble status. Peasants could be extremely wealthy, even landlords in their own right. The only thing "peasant" means it that they have no unfree (servile) duties to their own lords.
Fuedalism was the organization of society. Direct feudal links (where land was leased from the lord to his vassal) was less simple, sane, or useful than it is depicted. Many lords could owe vassalage to two or more other overlords. Most lords could keep their lands even against their overlord's will, and though kingdoms could disintegrate upon the death of their kings in early medieval society, as time went on various customs and appointed positions knit together the so-called "feudal state," giving it more cohesion than is generally assumed.

The Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has described Oba AbdulRauf Olawale Adedeji II, the late Akirun of Ikirun as a monarch who placed a high priority on the welfare of his people, cared for them, and also demonstrated strong concern and commitment to the development of Ikirun land.
He also described the late monarch as one who respected other traditional rulers, was a strong supporter of his administration and ensured that the ancient town witnessed tremendous development, peace and stability during his reign.
Governor Oyetola made the commendation earlier today during the 40th Day Fidau prayer session held in honour of the departed monarch in Ikirun.
While extolling the virtues of the late Akirun, the governor noted that death was inevitable as the demise of the monarch had further testified to the fact that death is unpredictable and an end that every mortal will face.
In his words, “Oba Adedeji was a respected father and strong supporter of our administration. We will miss him for his counsel, wisdom and courage. Baba will also be long remembered for his impacts, achievements and outstanding legacies.
“On behalf of the Government and the people of Osun, I once again commiserate with the people of Ikirun over the passing of our beloved father and leader, the late Akirun of Ikirun, Oba AbdulRauf Olawale Adedeji II.”
He called on the people to emulate the virtues of the late king and tread the path that would impact positively on the lives of others.
Speaking on behalf of other traditional rulers in the state, the Timi of Ede, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal, said with the Akirun’s death the traditional council in the state had lost a rare gem.
Oba Lawal described the deceased as a truthful person adding that it gladdened his heart that the late monarch was used by God to transform Ikirun.
The Asiwaju of Ikirunland, Chief Gazali Lawal in his remark described Oba Adedeji as an unusual traditional ruler whose reign attracted countless monumental achievements to the ancient town.
Chief Lawal lauded the transformation recorded during the reign of the late Akirun just as he prayed God to grant him eternal rest.
DAILY POST recalls that Oba AbdulRauf Olawale Adedeji II, Akirun of Ikirun land died on Tuesday 2nd of February, 2021.

nfectious Agents and Autophagy: Sometimes you Win, Sometimes you Lose
PATRICIA SILVIA ROMANO
Autophagy - A double-edged sword - Cell survival or death?
Lugar: Rijeka; Año: 2013; p. 1 - 512
Successful microorganisms are those that can evade the immune responses of the host. To reach this purpose, many pathogens evolved as intracellular organisms acquiring the capacity to live and to develop inside cells. This cellular parasitism carries many benefits to pathogens such as protection from circulating antibodies or free access to nutritive compounds. On the other hand, in response to this level of adaptation, mammalian cells have developed different process to eliminate these microorganisms or maintain them under strictly control. Host autophagy is a component of the innate responses against intracellular pathogens that functions in some circumstances as a second barrier when phagocytic or other defense mechanisms are exceeded. The re-route of mycobacterium-containing phagosomes to lysosomes through autophagy exemplifies this concept. However, some pathogens take advantage of the autophagic response. They have the capacity to interact with specific compartments of this pathway to favor their intracellular cycle. The quickly generation of Coxiella vacuoles or the increased level of Trypanosoma cruzi colonization of cells under induced autophagy are examples of how some pathogens are benefited when the autophagic pathway is activated.

I am a trauma survivor. I have been in trauma therapy for three years. I am lucky to have the resources to have such comprehensive therapy but I felt like I had hit a wall. I’ve been heavily medicated to treat symptoms of PTSD for as long as I’ve been in therapy. I want to stop taking all my prescription medications eventually and stop feeling weighed down.
After reading a ton of information about holistic treatments for PTSD and trauma I decided I wanted to try something different. That led me to SoulCybin’s ceremonial blend. I prepared my space, my bedroom to be exact, which is already sacred space. My husband agreed to look after me if I needed him. I set my intentions for healing the parts of myself that most needed it and off I went. I was taken on an incredible journey that, even two months later, I am processing. In fact, it made such a profound difference in my perspective that I am now starting microdosing. My hope is that with time and this powerful medicine I can heal the parts of myself I so deeply want to heal.
I am attaching a painting I did that was inspired by my experience.


…. sounds good, right?
To be clear, I’m all for cutting pork out of the federal budget and am disappointed that the Republican Congress really only gave cutting it lip service, but I know that when Dems talk about trimming pork out of the budget, it’s generally because they don’t approve of the type of pork …
Update and Bump: What a surprise! Seriously – the liberal CREW opposes Murtha as House Majority leader (hat tip: Allah). You’ll know why I’m posting this in this post rather than the one I wrote about Murtha and Pelosi when you read the following announcment:
“Future House Speaker Pelosi’s endorsement of Rep. Murtha, one of the most unethical members of Congress, shows that she may have prioritized ethics reform merely to win votes with no real commitment to changing the culture of corruption” Melanie Sloan, executive director of CREW said today. “How can Americans believe that the Democrats will return integrity to the House when future Speaker Pelosi has endorsed an ethically-challenged member for a leadership position? Rep. Murtha is the wrong choice for this job.”
Not only is Rep. Murtha beset by ethics issues, The New York Times reported on October 2, 2006 that he has consistently opposed ethics and earmark reform. Sloan continued, “Rep. Murtha’s opposition to ethics reform does not bode well for future Speaker Pelosi’s promise to enact ethics legislation in the first 100 hours of the new Congress.”
I did some digging, and found a non-archived version of that article:
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 — For more than a decade, Representative John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania has operated a political trading post in a back corner of the House of Representatives.
A gang of about two dozen Democrats mill around his seat. A procession of others walk back to request pet spending projects, known as earmarks. And Republicans come by, asking him to enlist some of those Democrats to join them on close votes. “Whether they get what they want in the bill or they get the votes they are looking for, nobody ever leaves completely disappointed” said Representative Paul E. Kanjorski, a Pennsylvania Democrat often found in what is known as the Murtha corner.
Outside Washington, Mr. Murtha, a Vietnam veteran and longtime hawk, may be best known for his break with the president over the Iraq war last fall. But inside the Capitol, he is best known for turning earmarks into power. As the top Democrat on the House military spending subcommittee, he often delivers Democratic votes to Republican leaders in a tacit exchange for earmarks for himself and his allies.
In the last year, Democratic and Republican floor watchers say, Mr. Murtha has helped Republicans round up enough Democratic votes to narrowly block a host of Democratic proposals: to investigate federal contracting fraud in Iraq, to reform lobbying laws, to increase financing for flood control, to add $150 million for veterans’ health care and job training, and to exempt middle-class families from the alternative minimum tax.
In one case that particularly irked Democratic partisans, Mr. Murtha led three others in voting against a politically vulnerable Louisiana Democrat’s proposal to divert money intended to be spent on base closings to research prosthetic limbs for veterans. It failed by one vote.
For their “nays” on that and other matters, all four Democrats were rewarded. In the weeks after the vote, they claimed credit for a total of more than $250 million in earmarks in the 2006 appropriations bills. Mr. Murtha alone brought home about $80 million for his district and $120 million for his state, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan group that tracks such projects.
Mr. Murtha, who announced a bid this spring to become the next House Democratic leader, acknowledges that some Democrats grouse about his history of leading others across the aisle. (Several Democrats said as much, but none would speak publicly.) He confirmed working with Republicans on the Iraq war spending vote that blocked the Democratic corruption investigation, but said he did not remember the others. He said he always acted on principle, working with Republicans either because he agreed with them or to uphold private agreements about spending bills.
“You just need to get the things done, so you give them the votes to get the things done” he said in an interview. “There is no question that some projects come out of it for our members, and that is not a bad thing.” He added, “Deal making is what Congress is all about.”
Mr. Murtha can punish lawmakers, as well. Those who do not support the defense spending bill, for example, discover their next earmark requests go nowhere. “Let me tell you the facts of life” Mr. Murtha said he tells balky legislators. “If you vote against this bill, you won’t have any input at all the next time.”
Yes, the Democrats are going to “restore” Washington, DC to fiscal responsibility and common sense governance … LOLOL
(Bumped up from the original post time, which was 3:10 pm)


James Robert Jones, 43, of Woodlawn, pleaded guilty Tuesday in connection with a scheme to get fraudulent bank loans using the stolen identities of active duty U.S. Army officers, according to David Rivera, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
At a hearing before U.S. District Court Judge Aleta A. Trauger, Jones entered guilty plea to one count of bank fraud, one count of making a false statement to a bank, one count of making a false statement to federal agents and one count of obstructing justice.
At his plea hearing, Jones, a former assistant inspector general with the U.S. Army Office of Inspector General at Fort Campbell, Ky., admitted abusing his position to get personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers and dates of birth, of active duty U.S. Army officers, including officers who were deployed to Afghanistan.
Jones acknowledged he used this personal identifying information to apply for loans in the officers’ names, he received loans from two federally insured financial institutions and he used the money from the loans for his own personal benefit.
Jones also admitted he attempted to conceal his scheme by asking a colleague to delete records found on his U.S. Army-issued laptop computer, and by seeking to cast blame for his crimes on a deceased U.S. Army officer, despite the fact that the deceased officer had no involvement in the scheme.
Jones faces up to 30 years in prison for the counts of bank fraud and making a false statement to a bank, up to 20 years in prison for obstructing justice and up to five years in prison for making false statements to investigators. Jones will be sentenced Aug. 11.
The U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigations Command at Fort Campbell investigated the case. Assistant U.S. attorney William F. Abely served as prosecutor.

A huge shout-out and thank-you to Mandy @ Book Princess Reviews for nominating me for this award! She is such an awesome blogger and has such an amazing blog, you guys should definitely check it out. She nominated me weeks ago, and I am just now getting around to it, but I have been super excited, so let’s get to it!
- Share the link of the blogger who has shown love to you by nominating you.
- Answer the questions.
- In the spirit of sharing love and solidarity with our blogging family, nominate 8-13 people for the same award.
- Ask them three questions
What was the last song that made you want to dance? And did you actually dance or is dancing a D: face thing?
I love dancing! I’m not very good at it, but I love just putting on some music and dancing around while I do housework. The song that I listened to most recently that made me want to dance was “Fever” by Michael Buble. But the song that came out most recently that makes me want to dance is “Shape of You” by Ed Sheeran.
Do you believe in one true love (the Disney Princesses would be so proud of you if you did)?
Kind of? I don’t think anyone would describe me as a hopeless romantic, but I believe in true love, Disney Princess levels of romance and love, and I believe that there is a specific person meant for everyone, but the idea also makes me really nervous. Mostly because I think it brings up a lot of “what ifs?” What if, out of the 7+ billion people on this planet, I don’t run into the one single person meant for me (one in 7 billion are not great odds)? Or what if, when we do meet, one or both of us have made life decisions that prevent our being together? The idealistic optimist in me loves the idea of a one true love, but Realist Ryann keeps pointing out the practicality issues with it.
What is your go-to snack food? And do you ever eat it while you’re reading?
Oh gosh, I love snack foods, so this is probably harder than it needs to be! I’m gonna list three, because I’m having such a hard time choosing! I would have to say Sour Patch Watermelons, or White Cheddar Popcorn, or veggies and dip (I know, random healthy turn-around). And whether I eat while reading kind of depends. If I’m reading a hard copy, then no, never. I’ve lent out enough books that were returned to me covered with coffee stains, crumbs, and one time moldy applesauce, that I refuse to risk it while I’m reading. But if I’m reading an ebook, I will absolutely chow down.
- What is your favorite season of the year and why?
- Is there anything you used to do as a child that you wish you had continued? (ex: play an instrument, dance, play a sport)
- What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever read or received?
Thanks again to the awesome Mandy for nominating me (and my apologies for taking SO LONG to get to it)! It was a lot of fun! (And thank God I have some White Cheddar Popcorn to satisfy this craving that has mysteriously come up). If you haven’t seen her blog, I would definitely head over and check it out; she’s an awesome blogger with an awesome blog!
Thanks for reading! Would your answers be similar, or would you have something completely different? Let me know in the comments below!

The Balancer DeFit protocol hacked twice within 24 hours, as first, it suffered a $500,000 attack, where the second attack claimed about $2,300 worth of Compound tokens (COMP).
It has been reported that Hao, an engineer at DeBank, tweeted that an attacker was able to fool the Balancer system into thinking he was owed a significant portion of the COMP tokens stored in the decentralized exchange’s pool.
However, the attack involved flash loans from both dYdX and Uniswap, as the hacker loaned more than $33 million that was used to generate cTokens representing ownership in a Compound pool.
The attacker transferred the cTokens to a Balancer pool. This triggered Compound into distributing the COMP accrued by the pool during its normal operation. The hacker then forced Balancer to update the pool’s balance, which at this point included all of the flash loaned money.
Likewise, the system believed that the hacker was entitled to a significant share of the pool’s COMP, despite not having held any money previously.
It has been analyzed that a call to withdraw the COMP and exchange it to ETH completed the hack, which netted a relatively small sum of about 10 COMP, worth $2,300.
Hao noted that the attack is similar to the $500,000 loss from earlier in the day. Like the first, this second attack relies on the peculiar way that Balancer manages its internal state.
Thus, the team has since pledged to make affected users whole, as they will also compensate a researcher who reported on the vulnerability in May.

More than 13,000 new jobs for UAE nationals will be created in the private sector during this year, said the Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
During the Federal National Council (FNC) on Tuesday, Dr. Abdulrahman bin Abdul Manan Al Awar said that the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has approved an initiative for the employment of 13,193 male and female UAE citizens in the private sector facilities across the country during 2022.
The minister was responding to a question raised by FNC member, Obaid Khalfan Al Ghoul Al Salami, on how far the ministry has reached with employing Emirati citizens in the private sector as part of UAE Projects of the 50 initiatives, which was launched in 2021.
The UAE government had in September last year announced 13 new schemes to encourage 75,000 Emiratis to work in the private sector over the next five years.
As part of the Projects of the 50 initiatives, officials unveiled 'Nafis', a federal programme to increase the number of Emiratis employed in the private sector from 2 per cent to 10 per cent.
Nafis consists of 13 projects and development initiatives at a total cost of Dh24 billion. These include a salary support scheme that offers up to Dh5,000 per month for five years; a Dh1 billion fund dedicated to supporting graduate students and their start-ups; and unemployment benefits, among others.

“The new system of legislation and decisions recently adopted by the government regarding creating of jobs for Emiratis in the private sector had a significant impact on reducing the cost of attracting and employing citizens in some jobs, especially the skilled ones,” said Dr. Al Awar.
“Currently the cost of hiring expats in the private sector has become more expensive compared to the cost of hiring UAE citizens.”

Lucy Schouten tells us that Israel did not like Secretary of State John Kerry’s ceasefire proposal and made no secret of their displeasure.
Well, no kidding.
By my count, there have been at least five ceasefires all of which Hamas has broken. The difference between the other negotiated ceasefires and Kerry’s is that the Secretary of State gives Hamas a lifeline of legitimacy. Hamas’ raison d’etre always has and always will be the extermination of Israel.
Yet Israel isn’t the only one that didn’t like Kerry’s ceasefire. As Lucy notes, Kerry negotiated the ceasefire in Egypt. Curiously, she doesn’t mention that the Egyptians didn’t exactly welcome Kerry with open arms. In fact, President Sisi’s security detail made Kerry go through a metal detector before welcoming him into his office.

In ‘80s-set horror-comedy, My Best Friend’s Exorcism, best buds Abby and Gretchen head to a cabin in the woods to hang out with their friends. Here they do various things that no one in a horror movie should ever do (play with a Ouija board, drop acid, go skinny dipping, etc), before they decide to explore an abandoned, derelict house (another horror movie no-no).
Once inside the house, Abby and Gretchen become spooked by a noise. Upon further investigation, they believe they see something supernatural lurking in one of the rooms, which causes them to panic and run.
Gretchen stumbles and falls, and this separates the two girls. Unfortunately, Abby doesn’t notice Gretchen’s faux pas and it is not until Abby has run far from the house that she realises she has left her best friend behind.
After regrouping with her other mates, Abby returns to the house, where the gang discover a clearly very distressed Gretchen. However, they chalk her emotional state up to a bad LSD trip, and head home.
But a few days later, Gretchen begins to display worrying behaviour. This behaviour begins to put a strain on her relationship with Abby, and suggests something is seriously wrong.
Is Gretchen going through a few hormonal changes in her teenage years or is there something more sinister in play? And can her friendship survive what appears to be a demonic transformation, which is both destructive to herself and those around her?
Directed by Damon Thomas, My Best Friend’s Exorcism stars Elsie Fisher and Amiah Miller. The movie is based on the novel of the same name by Grady Hendrix, and has just been added to Amazon Prime Video.
The film is a teen-centric high school horror, which looks at the relationship between its two central characters, Abby and Gretchen. In the movie, their relationship is put to the test when Gretchen experiences a supernatural awakening in the woods, which alters her personality and puts her at odds with her friend.
In terms of its story, the film is very much a tale about demonic possession. It is a story about a girl who changes her mood and attitude because of a chance encounter with something spooky.
However, this possession is used as a metaphor for puberty and adolescence. My Best Friend’s Exorcism is as much about a demon as it is about cliques, bitchiness, and the horrors of high school, and it manages to intertwine its subject matter and themes rather well.
It’s a shame then, that I must tell you that despite its best efforts, My Best Friend’s Exorcism is only ‘so-so’. The film isn’t bad and has many of the right components, it just doesn’t bring them together in the right way and this is a bit frustrating.
Following a rather slow start, things get off the ground once Gretchen becomes possessed and this is when the film hits its stride. Gretchen starts to become a real bitch, causing havoc for her friends, and it is here where the movie takes on shades of Heathers (1989) and The Craft (1996).
But this all feels rather short-lived, and either side of this section of the movie, the film has difficulties getting into any kind of groove. There are certainly some decent moments, so I’m not going to poo-poo this picture too much, but I do believe it struggles to reach its full potential.
There are jokes, but the humour is never funny enough. There’s some horror, but nothing which is going to really scare anyone.
The best scene in the movie involves a tapeworm, and this scene is genuinely quite stomach churning. However, this sequence is all too brief, and there’s nothing quite as interesting anywhere else in the film.
The movie also struggles with pacing, and this becomes a significant issue. For a relatively short movie (it runs less than 100 minutes), My Best Friend’s Exorcism drags in places and really could be tighter in the story department.
However, despite these shortcomings, the cast are all on fine form, the tone and vibe of the film works well enough, and it has clearly been put together by a director with a genuine desire to tell a really good story. It doesn’t quit hit all the targets its aiming for, but it’s not a failure.
I expect My Best Friend’s Exorcism will appeal more to teens than it will to adults (especially young Stranger Things fans), as too much of this movie has been done before, and arguably slightly better, but it is a decent effort. The story has enough ideas in here to carry things along, and I’m pretty sure the soundtrack and the copious amounts of big hair and hoop earrings will work for those desperate to return to the ‘80s.
But it doesn’t really work for me, and I largely see this as a middle-of-the road affair. It’s fine in places, and I expect it will find the right audience, but it could (and should) have been much more.

It turns out that the monitoring that the New York Police Department carried out of Muslim students was much broader than previously known. Officers kept track of Muslim organizations at schools “far beyond the city limits, including the Ivy League colleges of Yale and the University of Pennsylvania,” reports the Associated Press.
Detectives tracked a variety of student websites and recorded names of students or professors that were then passed on to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly even though they hadn’t been accused of any wrongdoing. The police say they felt the need to “get a better handle” on Muslim student associations because 12 people arrested or convicted on terrorism charges had belonged to such groups. The monitoring only took place between 2006 and 2007. The AP had already revealed NYPD placed undercover officers at Muslim student associations in colleges within the city.
While officials have insisted that only those who were suspected of wrongdoing were tracked, it seems clear from the latest reports that lots of effort was devoted going after the most innocuous of clues. One undercover officer went white water rafting in upstate New York with 18 Muslim students and noted that they prayed “at least four times a day.” Separately, a University of Buffalo student was listed on a police report because she forwarded an e-mail about an Islamic conference in Toronto.

Kevin Faulconer, San Diego’s former mayor, recently announced that he signed a petition to recall Gavin Newsom. The petition, which has been signed by more than one million Californians, attempts to recall Newsom for his poor handling of the pandemic, among other things. Faulconer also announced that he has established an exploratory committee to run for governor which is the first step to begin fundraising for his potential gubernatorial campaign.
Faulconer said he is looking to potentially run on the recall ballot if the recall petition gains the required 1,495,709 signatures by mid-March. He also expressed interest in running for governorship in 2022, if the recall does not go through.
Some believe that the likelihood of a Faulconer win seems low as he is a Republican and a majority of California voters are registered Democrats. However, Faulconer is a moderate republican and displayed his bi-partisan style of leadership during his time as San Diego Mayor.
Faulconer has been critical of many of Newsom’s policies, stating, “Between the mismanagement during key points of the pandemic, the toxic business environment, the shaky economy, the disappearing jobs, the rolling blackouts, the missing unemployment checks and billions of dollars in fraud, and of course the skyrocketing homelessness, I strongly believe we need new leadership in the governor’s office.”
Just this week Faulconer came out in opposition to Gov. Newsom’s proposal for the 2021-2022 budget, which allocates $1.5B for zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure.


The risk-positive market environment makes it difficult for the dollar to find demand in the second half of the week but rising US Treasury bond yields continue to help the currency limit its losses against its major rivals. Ahead of mid-tier data releases from the US – weekly Initial Jobless Claims, Existing Home Sales and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Survey, the US Dollar Index holds above 93.50.
Macro data: The data from the euro area showed on Wednesday that the annual Consumer Price Index remained steady at 3.4% in September as expected. In Canada, the CPI climbed to 4.4% from 4.1% and beat the market expectation of 4.3%. The Federal Reserve’s Beige Book showed that the US economy continued to grow at a “modest to moderate” pace in September and early October. “Many firms raised selling prices indicating a greater ability to pass along cost increases to customers amid strong demand,” the publication further revealed.
Wall Street: The S&P 500 Index gained 0.37% and stays within a touching distance of the record-high it set at 4,545 in early September. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.43% and the Nasdaq Composite closed virtually unchanged. It’s also worth noting that US stocks futures are down between 0.3% and 0.4% in the early European session, suggesting that investors could look for an opportunity to book their profits ahead of the weekend. Additionally, the Nikkei 225 Index is down more than 1.5%. Meanwhile, Reuters reported that the Chinese real-estate giant Evergrande secured an extension on the defaulted $260 million worth of bonds.
The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield, which closed the previous four days in the positive territory, is staying relatively quiet around 1.65%.
EUR/USD’s slightly bullish bias remains intact but the pair seems to have gone into a consolidation phase around mid-1.1600s. The dollar’s market valuation is likely to remain the primary driver of the pair’s action.
GBP/USD staged a downward correction after the CPI data from the UK arrived below analysts’ estimate but managed to return to 1.3800 area. The Bank of England’s rate hike expectations support the British pound.
Once again, AUD/USD and NZD/USD capitalized on risk flows on Wednesday and registered impressive gains. A negative shift in market sentiment could trigger an overdue correction in those pairs.
Gold rose 0.7% on Wednesday and clings to small gains above $1,780 on Thursday. Key resistance for XAU/USD aligns at $1,800 and a daily close above that level could bring in additional buyers.
Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin reached a new record high of $67,000 on Wednesday and edged lower toward $65,000 on Thursday. Institutional demand following the introduction of the first BTC ETF is expected to increase and support Bitcoin. Ethereum also capitalized on the upbeat sentiment surrounding cryptocurrencies and broke above $4,000.

text: Purpose Side human population (SP) cells were isolated and the possibility whether lens epithelial cells contain stem cells was investigated. equator region in lens epithelial cell layers. SP cells indicated higher levels of the stem cell markers ATP-binding cassette transporter G2 (mRNA than the main human population cells. These results suggest that SP cells contain a high proportion of stem cells. Conclusions The SP cells in the lens contain stem cells and these stem cells are localized round the germinative zone. Intro Stem cells are L-741626 defined as relatively undifferentiated cells and share the properties of self-renewing capacity high proliferative potential and multilineage differentiation ability. Embryonic stem L-741626 cells are derived from blastocysts and have the ability to differentiate into all types of cells. Somatic stem cells are undifferentiated cells discovered among the differentiated cells of a particular organ or tissue. They have the capability for self-renewing and so are in a position to differentiate in to the main specific cell types from the tissues or organ that these were L-741626 isolated. Until lately it was thought that stem cells aren’t within terminally differentiated tissue like the human brain. However various kinds of somatic stem cells have already been discovered including corneal limbal stem cells in the cornea  hematopoietic stem cells in bone tissue marrow and hepatic stem cells in the liver organ [2 3 Zoom lens epithelial cells certainly are a monolayer on the anterior surface area of the zoom lens and continue steadily to separate and differentiate into zoom lens fiber cells more than a mammalian lifestyle. These cells divide very on the germinative area and offer fiber cells slowly. It really is consider which the stem cells of zoom lens epithelial cells can be found at or close to the germinative area . Zbou et al.  demonstrated by tritiated thymidine and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling that slow-cycling cells can be found on the central and germinative areas of the zoom lens and suggested these Il1a cells are stem cells. This technique of constant cell department suggests the life of a people of stem cells in the zoom lens epithelium. Among the benefits of somatic stem cells is normally that there surely is a reduced potential for rejection pursuing transplantation when stem cells are extracted from the receiver. Nevertheless somatic stem cells proliferate even more gradually than embryonic stem cells and L-741626 surgical treatments are sometimes had a need to get stem cells from a tissues or organ. Aspect people (SP) cells certainly are a people of stem cell-enriched cells that apparently exist in a number of pet tissue [6-9]. SP cells are seen as a the capability to extrude the DNA-binding dye Hoechst 33342 through the experience of ATP-binding cassette transporters  an attribute that’s common to numerous adult stem cells. SP cells could be separated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) using dual-wavelength fluorescence and gating variables for cells that screen low degrees of crimson and blue fluorescence. This technique was used to recognize SP cells that are enriched in stem cell activity  highly. In the current presence of verapamil an L-type calcium mineral route blocker the stem cell activity of the isolated SP cells was abrogated. Somatic stem cells can be found among differentiated cells within an organ and will be distinguished with the appearance of stem cell-specific genes known as stem cell markers. Stem cell markers differ with regards to the organ or tissues although there are extensive markers that can be found generally in most types of somatic stem cells. Stem cell antigen 1 (Sca-1) is normally a cell-surface marker for murine hematopoietic stem cells [11 12 and can be expressed in a few differentiated cell types including cells from the center kidney and human brain . Sca-1 continues to be identified in bone tissue marrow muscles artery and mammary gland-derived SP L-741626 cells [11 14 Neurotrophin receptor p75 (p75NTR) a nerve development factor receptor is normally a stem cell marker of esophageal keratinocytes retinal cells and adipose tissues [18-20]. β-1 integrin is normally portrayed at two or threefold higher amounts in epidermal stem cells in comparison L-741626 to epidermal transient amplifying cells  and locks follicle stem cells also exhibit high degrees of β-1 integrin [22 23 The proto-oncogene B-cell lymphoma 2 (in comparison to non-SP cells which immensely important that mouse zoom lens SP cells isolated by FACS are stem cells. We also examined the appearance of the normal stem cell markers in SP and non-SP cells. Many of these stem cell markers had been expressed at higher amounts in SP cells than in non-SP cells. This is particularly accurate for (a cell surface area marker for murine.

The DK Eyewitness Cyprus Travel Guide will lead you straight to the best attractions Cyprus has to offer. Fully illustrated with coverage of all the major sights from Nicosia to the harbour at Kyrenia. The guide provides all the insider tips every visitor needs, whether you are bathing in the Paphos beach sun, exploring the Troodos mountains or discovering the ruins at Salamis, with comprehensive listings of the best hotels, restaurants, shops and nightlife in each region for all budgets. You'll find 3D cutaways and floorplans of all the must-see sites including the monastry of Kykkos and the ancient town of Kourion, plus reliable information about getting around this diverse country. DK Eyewitness Cyprus Travel Guide explores the ancient sites, monastries, watersports and hill villages, not missing dramatic countryside and scenic walks. With all the sights, beaches, shops and attractions listed town by town, The DK Eyewitness Cyprus Travel Guide is your essential companion.
I own about 40 DK Eyewitness Travel Guides and usually take one on my travels to complement a more thoroughly written guidebook like Rough Guide or Lonely Planet. The photos are always excellent, providing a fine visual overview of places. DK Cyprus, though, was perhaps the least useful DK Travel Guide that I have ever used. The descriptions of places were drier than Cyprus' summer weather, and the photos added little to what was in the more compact, less expensive DK Top 10 Cyprus book. Carrying 4 guidebooks (DK, DK Top 10, Lonely Planet, and Rough Guide) for our travels throughout all regions of the island, I soon realized that I could have been perfectly happy if I had only carried Rough Guide and DK Top 10.
Excellent Guide Book
By N.H. - April 24, 2010
This is an excellent guide.I am from Cyprus,have travelled extensively around the island,and have suggested this book to visiting friends and relatives who have used it and also liked it a lot.The book has the History section right--possibly the best condensed history of Cyprus I have ever read--,divides the island in 5 very useful sections,selects the best sites and puts them clearly on excellent updated maps,it has great photos that help one decide one's itinerary,and,above all,it is very well written.This guide is much better that the Lonely Planet one--that does not even mention St Neophytos Monastery in Pafos,or the Lempa Experimental Village.Cyprus can be explored in around 10 days,and this guide can truly help you plan your itinerary and enrich your travel experience.Buy it!

The book was the only one we carried with us as we toured both the Republic of Cyprus (South) and the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus. There is excellent information on line about the South, but the book was absolutely necessary for the North. It is light weight and tells about the sites. We used the internet to confirm times in the South and found some of the times for the North that way. In the south we used GPS but it doesn't yet exist for the north. This book had helpful informaion that with the maps provided by the TRNC tourism information booths, made it relatively easy to find our way around--remember the days before GPS and internet. In planning the trip I also used a couple of other tour books that I borrowed from the library.

Gardening tips: Alan Titchmarsh shares how to seed lawns

Gardening expert Alan Titchmarsh has shared how gardeners can seed their lawns in a relatively inexpensive and easy way. Seeding a lawn can take time, patience and maintenance. The soil needs to be the right temperature in order for roots to become established. Seeds also have to battle the elements and competition from weeds. Heavy wind and rain can completely void any efforts made to repair a lawn by potentially washing away seeds.

It can be hard for gardeners to know which grass seed mixture is best for their lawns, that’s why Alan has shared the “best” option.
The 73-year-old explained in a video for Waitrose & Partners: “There are different kinds of lawn seed mixtures and you want one that is suitable for your purpose.
“If your ground is a bit shady you can get shade mixtures, if you want to find bowling green get a mixture for that, but bowling green grasses tend to be very fine.”
The expert noted that this particular lawn is a lot of work to cut and tends to get fungus diseases.
Instead Alan suggested: “The best kind to go for really is an all-round dwarf ryegrass mixture that’s hard wearing, which won’t produce those long tufts that always escape the mower.”
To sow the seed, the expert advised that gardeners use a plastic cup.
He said: “Get yourself a plastic cup like this one. Mark it about halfway down and then you’ll know exactly how much seed to put on each square meter.
“Try and sew on a relatively windless day, that way the seed, which is quite light, goes where you want it to go rather than into the nearby bed or border.
“If you just shovel this from side to side – about 18 inches above the ground – you’ll see you get this salt and pepper effect.”
For those not sure what a square metre or a square yard looks like, Alan suggests marking it out with canes.

The gardening pro noted that many gardeners have a great tendency to use too much seed when sowing.
Alan warned: “It’s pointless. If you sow too thickly not only will it cost you more and you’re wasting seed, they’ll come up too close together and if the weather’s at all damp they may well die off.
“Damp off we call it. It’s a very good reason why it’s called damping off – the young grass plants rot.”
Once the grass seed has been sown, there is a possibility that the area can be disrupted by either birds or cats.
Alan said: “You’re always going to get some birds coming and having a peck but you will find however good they are they’ll always leave enough to make a lawn.
“The one thing you may also have a problem with is cats.
“They come along and dig a little home then leave you a little present.
“The way to stop that is quite simple, get dome twiggy pea sticks and lay them across the surface – it sort of gets in the cat’s way and they tend to leave them alone.”
It is perfectly fine to just scatter the lawn seed on the soil, but for those worried that a lot of the seed is going to blow away or that they’ve got a particular bird problem a very very light raking over is ok to do.
Alan noted: “A lot of seeds like grass need a bit of light to germinate, but bury them too deeply, the fine seeds won’t come up so there really is no point in covering them over much.”
In terms of watering, Alan explained that it is not necessary to water the ground.
He said: “Absolutely no need to water, not in this country, you’ll find that a shower of rain will very soon be forthcoming.”
The expert shared the “perfect time” to sow seeds to give them the right conditions to grow.
Alan said: “What I wouldn’t do is to sow the seed in really hot dry weather.
“The two best times to sow grass seed are late spring and late summer/early autumn.
“That way the ground is moist and warm but in summer it will be too hot for it and in winter far too cold for the grass to germinate.
“So late spring or late summer/early autumn is the perfect time.”

is CTA?A Coronary CTA is a heart-imaging test that determines if either
fatty deposits or calcium deposits have built up in the coronary arteries.
The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle. When either the
fatty deposits or calcium deposits build up they become plaques. These
plaques cause heart disease. Heart muscle disease from plaque build-up can
lead to multiple problems including shortness of breath, chest pain, and
even heart attack. CTA helps to detect heart disease in asymptomatic
patients with high coronary disease risk, in patients with atypical symptoms
with lower heart disease risk, and in patients who have abnormal or unclear
stress test results.
How does CTA work?A Coronary CTA is a special type of x-ray
examination. The patient lays down on the exam table which will move
through the scanner. Before the test begins, an IV (intravenous line)
is inserted. Through this IV, the patient is given iodine-containing
Sometimes, medication may be given through the IV to slow the heart rate so
that better images can be obtained. After the dye is given and the heart is
at the appropriate rate, the test will begin. The table moves through
the scanner and images of the heart, blood vessels, and chest are obtained.
The entire scan takes less than 10 minutes to perform.
should have a CTA?
You should consult with your doctor about whether or not CTA is appropriate
for you. CTA is used for patients who have:
- Intermediate to high risk factors for heart disease but who are
asymptomatic or have atypical symptoms like fatigue with physical
- Patients who have low to intermediate risk profiles for heart
disease and have symptoms like chest pain without physical exertion.
- Patients with abnormal or inconclusive stress tests.
There are very few contraindications for this test, however, a person is
not a candidate for CTA if they have:
- Decreased kidney functioning
- Allergies to contrast dye.

Here’s a question:
Should a brand be expressive about its political point of views?
Because of the internet and social media, the world is right underneath your fingertips and everything you say will probably go viral, become carved into people’s memory and shape their perception. In the case of Under Armour, the CEO and founder Kevin Plank has definitely made his standpoint pretty clear.
After Plank expressed that enthusiastic statement for Trump, amplified by social media, the Under Armour topic became the talk of the town. The hashtag #BoybottUnderArmour went viral and people couldn’t stop criticizing it. Shortly after, some of the company’s athletes such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Stephen Curry spoke out publicly against Plank’s comments. Although the comment was made on the television platform, it became rapidly widespread and got worse due to exposure through social media, especially Twitter, as Under Armour is highly reliant on Millennial shoppers who tend to be more socially liberal and active on social media than other groups. This is a great example of a brand’s reputation being endangered because of a social media crisis.
We all do have opinions. Some we are better off keeping to ourselves or be sure to choose wisely when, where and how to express them. Whether it’s just Plank’s personal political point of view or that comment was meant to be a Trump endorsement, the decision to enunciate a view in a polarized political climate was a mistake. Working closely or agreeing with Trump, who some groups see as sexist, racist and homophobic can never be a good perception of any brand and there is absolutely no necessity for brands like Under Armour to discuss politics. In this case, silence is golden.
Consumers today see a brand as a person with personality and what that person does or believes in matters. This situation could most doubtlessly have been avoided. Just don’t talk politics! There is indeed a saying in Thai that there are mainly 3 things we all shouldn’t randomly discuss: love, religion and of course, politics. Just because media platforms have made it easier for us all to throw our two cents in, doesn’t mean that we have to voice all of our opinions. We have to be extra careful today as whatever is imprinted on social media will stay a part of us forever. In this situation, hopefully Under Armour won’t be associated with Trump’s unfavorable personality traits for years to come!
Even though Under Armour tried to fix the situation by issuing a press release clarifying that “We engage in policy, not politics”, its shares had already gone from neutral to negative. Plank took a step in an attempt to limit the damage done by taking out a full-page ad in the Baltimore Sun stating that “in a business television interview, he answered a question with a choice of words that did not accurately reflect his intent. Under Armour exemplify equal rights and believe that immigration is a source of strength, diversity and innovation.” But trying to sway people’s perception of what has already happened through sagacious recapitulation …does it really work? And how effective is it?
Brands should stand for all consumers as a unified whole and not take sides. There is no harm in staying neutral as in a world where content is king, there are already tons of opportunities and boundless space for creativity and pragmatic content. Plank coming forward to fix his first statement was the right thing to do, however, we must acknowledge that it takes time to recover when you drop the ball on social media these days.
When it comes to a crisis situation like this, marketing and PR should be working together in harmony as it should be dealt with in a timely and efficient manner, preferably on the same media platform as the dilemma happened. While PR should be doing its job handling with all the brand’s relations with the public, the marketing team should also help by coming up with new positive campaigns or messages to get the audience to move on and hopefully start focusing on a new topic and new journey as soon as possible.
I look forward to seeing how a global company like Under Armour attempt to turn this crisis into an opportunity through their future content but I am indeed sure that they are now in no doubt…. branding and politics in a Trump presidency era do not sit well together.

Hey guys this is Minnie here with a intro of a fan fiction inspired by all the fan fictions that u people write especially by Vrushy’s.
In my fan fiction both the families are exactly the same and our favorite couple Kaira is in love .
My story would show a vast romance and a small incident surely not an accident which would break Kaira up, and would slowly slowly show how destiny brings Kartik and Naira infront of each other and realize that their love is very unique.
Guys this is my very first FF don’t know how I’m going to manage it all I need is u people’s love and support to bring a story to a happy end . Please tell me whether I should continue or not and do let me know that whether you want dialogues in Hindi or English. Would post the next part when I see that you people want me to do it.
Thank u guys love u ❤


Apart from highly grossing anticipation on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the upcoming iPhone 7S/ 8, Huawei will be launching their phablet sized smartphone if everything is within their schedule. The Mate 10 is rumored to offer a 6.2 inches display (some claimed 6″) and runs on Android 8 enhanced by EMUI 6.0. There will also be some camera upgrade on the LEICA certified lens with a 20MP and 12MP monochromatic and colour lens along with 3D front facing camera, thus enabling 3D facial recognition feature inspired from the rumored iPhone 8.
However, plain text doesn’t satisfy our curiosity into the look of the Huawei Mate 10, especially when @onLeaks has revealed a 360 degree look on the upcoming Mate 10. Here’s the most detailed 360 look on the Huawei Mate 10 before the launch.

Saint Lucia is a tropical paradise that offers some of the best snorkelling experiences in the Caribbean. The island is home to various marine life, including colourful fish, sea turtles, and coral reefs. Here are some of the top snorkelling spots in Saint Lucia:
Anse Chastanet Beach: Located near Soufriere on the southern side of the island, Anse Chastanet Beach is one of the best places in Saint Lucia to explore the underwater world. The gorgeous beach offers views of the Pitons, Saint Lucia’s twin volcanic peaks, and easy access to a coral reef. This site is suitable for beginners and experienced snorkelers and is a top location for scuba diving in Saint Lucia. The Anse Chastanet Reef is marked with buoys, making it easy to find and safe for snorkelers since boats are prohibited from entering the roped-off area. Parts of the bay are protected as a marine reserve, which contributes to healthy sea life. Snorkelers at Anse Chastanet can view squid, corals, sponges, moray eels, and reef fish, including sergeant majors, trumpetfish, French angelfish, and parrotfish
Anse Cochon Beach has beautiful scenery in and out of the water. On shore, you can relax on the dark sand and take in views of the calm cove surrounded by lush vegetation. In the water, you’ll have the chance to see coral reefs, shrimp, eels, stingrays, nurse sharks, and more. The beach is between Soufriere and Castries, next to the Ti Kaye Resort and Spa.
Sugar Beach is located between the Pitons and is a great spot for snorkelling. The beach is home to various marine life, including sea turtles, rays, and colourful fish. Snorkelers can explore the coral reefs and underwater caves. The beach is also a popular spot for sunbathing and relaxing.
These are just a few of the many snorkelling spots in Saint Lucia. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced snorkeler, there’s something for everyone in this tropical paradise.
