Flora Isabel MacDonald was born on June 3rd, 1926 in North Sydney, Nova Scotia. She is a sixth generation Canadian whose forebears came to Canada from the Scottish Highlands in the 1790s.

The Chinese are in need of resources to keep their economic expansion going, and although things have slowed briefly due to the economic global crisis, in reality it is only a hick-up in the overall scheme of things. Soon, they will be back under the gun to get those resources they need. China is in a unique place in the world and they have a ton of resources, but much of it is hard to get too, and requires massive new infrastructure. They are using this low in the market to secure resources around the world and buy into international trade deals for resources while things are cheap. Where you ask? How about Australia, Russia, Africa, Canada, and South and Central America, in fact, they've made...

The discussion on human rights isn't a new concept, ever since man could conceptualize about his world there has been dialogue on the subject, even one of the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt speaks of the topic when he addresses his Viziers "When a petitioner arrives from upper or lower Egypt - make sure that all is done according to the law, that custom is observed and the right of each man respected." (Pandey, 1999, p. 19) But it wasn't till after the Second World War that the discussion on human rights began to come into popular consciousness. Since the 19th century there has been a wider phenomenon where people all over the world are feeling a greater concern for their fellow man, it all started with...

Businesses, non-profit agencies and even the government are all victims of both fraud and theft on a daily basis. Business owners are sometimes blindsided by these actions and may be unaware of the fraud due to lack of accounting experience or expertise. In almost every community, large or small, there are news stories about theft from employees. In several cases, unfortunately, the theft is from those entrusted to perform accounting functions. By the time fraud or theft is detected, sometimes thousands and even millions of dollars are already missing. Another downfall of accounting fraud and theft is the potential for customers and investors to lose confidence in the company or organization's...

Have you considered natural heartworm prevention for your dog or cat? It is really the only beneficial way of dealing with this insidious illness. Unfortunately, this disease kills many of our pets, and often it is not even detected until it has severely damaged their vital organs. Heartworm is contracted when a mosquito that carries this infected larvae bites a dog or cat, injecting this larvae into the bloodstream of the animal. It's a little different in dogs than in cats, as the dog is a little more prone to the disease. Also the parasites tend to reproduce in much larger numbers in dogs than in cats. However, only a couple of worms can cause the death of a cat. The first symptoms of heartworm...

The active component curcumin in the spice turmeric is shown to prevent and retard cancer in hundreds of studies and research reports. Many of the methods by which carcinogenesis (attack of carcinogens on the DNA and cellular structure) progresses has been shown to be retarded or short circuited by turmeric. A powerful carcinogenic agent TPA (tissue polypeptide antigen) is known to cause cancer by increasing the production of a substance in the body called protein kinase. Turmeric appears to suppress the production of protein kinase. Turmeric is also shown to lower the levels of oncogen which is a cancer causing gene called c-jun. A team of scientists not only demonstrated these suppressive effects...

When you're dealing with a condition like herpes, prevention is always better than cure. Being able to keep an outbreak from occurring at all is so much better than just making it shorter or less painful. However, there is no actual cure for herpes right now. There are, though, some herpes medication options that allow for some prevention of outbreaks from the disease. One of the main ways that doctors prevent severe herpes outbreaks that occur frequently is to treat a patient with constant doses of antiviral medication. For those who have six or more outbreaks a year, this is the most common treatment. It helps to cut down on the number of outbreaks that occur by 70-80% for must sufferers. This...

Anyone facing home foreclosure knows how stressful and devastating it is. Individuals experiencing temporary financial setbacks must be proactive in contacting their lender to determine if they are eligible for foreclosure prevention strategies. Contrary to popular belief, banks really do not want to foreclose on properties unless no other options exist. Several home foreclosure prevention strategies are available. The method used is determined by multiple factors including: loan payment history, credit score, ability to make future payments, and employment status. Delinquent loans are managed by the lender's loss mitigation department. Borrowers are assigned to a loss mitigator who will help devise...

The topic of food additives is not quickly addressed in one article. Searches on the internet can reveal information that is either pro or con regarding food additive substances. Depending on one's personal philosophy, it is possible to justify the inclusion or the exclusion of food additives. There are many companies which justify the addition of food additives of one sort or another with various rationales. In fact, some -- or even many -- of the additives can be consumed with no immediate obvious harmful effects. The reader is referred to the Natural Ovens Bakery / Nutritional Resource Foundation ( article which details all of the many food additives: "Toxin Additives in Food and Drink: Toxic...

Prevention: The Best Health Investment in Any Economy We all know that we should not eat greasy, fried food and that late-night binge eating is a sure way to pack on unwanted pounds. So why does it sometimes take a doctor's report to convince us to change these destructive habits? For some, even a scary prognosis fails to produce enough motivation to dump our junk food-fueled lifestyles. The result? Unnecessary suffering that could have been prevented! Let's take a look at what all those calorie-fests could really cost you: Standard Ambulance ride: Depending on where you live, anywhere from $100 to $1,500. Massive Heart Attack: ER room, visit, testing, etc. $500 to $10,000. Heart Bypass Surgery: A...

Many recent studies have shown that curcumin and Alzheimer's prevention is a reality. Although in the early stages, this potent spice has many important qualities. The curcumin and Alzheimer's connection is down to its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities. Curcumin is the active ingredient of turmeric and comes from the Curcuma longa plant. A number of recent studies from the University of California and other institutions indicate that it improves the cognitive abilities of patients with Alzheimer's disease. It seems that it is able to prevent the harmful plaques forming in the brain by boosting the immune system. These plaques are associated with the onset of Alzheimer's and taking...

Frontline vs. Advantix is probably one of the most popular comparisons that is performed when you are thinking about flea protection. Frontline is honored as the top recommended flea and tick prevention treatment by veterinarians nationwide. That being said Advantix is no slouch either.

Both do their duty to keep your dog pest free. Deciding to protect your dog and ultimately your home from these biting invaders is a wonderful idea but which one do you choose? While looking at Frontline vs. Advantix you really need to understand how they...

Regardless of whether you have already been diagnosed by your doctor with acid reflux disease or GERD or are experiencing it due to being pregnant or are just starting to develop regular heartburn problems, preventing the cause is the biggest part of the battle to finding a cure. Treatment Of Acid Reflux Disease & GERD Yes, there are many modern medical treatments from drugs and medications to over the counter antacids that are often used to combat acid reflux symptoms. Unfortunately these aren't really a cure - they are just used for relief from pain of symptoms from an ongoing health problem. Using this type of medication does not act as a long term remedy. It can lead to serious side effects and...

One of the worst nightmares for any homeowner is the realization that he or she suddenly has the need for water damage remediation work. Water is obviously a critical substance for so many reasons, but it can also be incredibly ruinous to a home if it's allowed to exist and persist in its normal state in the wrong locations.

Gout can be pretty painful. So you need to pay attention for proper treatment of gout. Here are tips for gout treatment and prevention. If you don't treat gout, then a gout attack may last for many days and sometimes stretch for even a few weeks. Do you want to endure the pain that long? Gout Treatment and Prevention Tips: 1.

Kate Montgomery says recovery from repetitive injuries requires a four-pronged approach. 1. A safe working environment; 2. Care by a chiropractic or osteopathic physician, therapeutic muscle therapy, and acupressure or acupuncture; 3. Daily stretching and strengthening exercises; and 4. Proactive efforts to get insurance carriers to reimburse the sufferer for alternative therapies. Montgomery writes of her belief that 99 percent of the time, surgery is not the answer to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which is contradictory to other statistics which claim surgical success in 90 percent of patients. · Her method of treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) pain includes...

Retail stores are some of the most popular targets for thieves, especially if they specialize in small, valuable, and easily resold merchandise. In a retail store, a single thief can do a lot of damage in just a few seconds, even while your store is open for business and there are plenty of people around to catch the burglar. Shoplifting is among the most common crimes committed today, but loss prevention strategies can help to prevent it in your store. You don't have to pay huge sums of money to hire uniformed security guards to keep watch over your store. If you own a retail store and want to deter theft, here are a few security tips to consider: Use multiple layers of security - You might...

PRIMARY PREVENTION Any preventive approach must begin with public education. The public must be taught that mental retardation is a handicap that can be studied, treated, and helped. People must know that retarded persons have feelings and emotions and the need for belonging, like the rest of us. Socioeconomic standards must improve. Malnutrition, prematurity, and other conditions that seem related to the disadvantaged and that give rise to retardation must be changed. Raising of living standards, vocational training, and education are all necessary. Medical measures, such as detection of Rh and other blood incompatibilities, restricting the number of pregnancies in adolescence and after the age of...

The only true way to get rid of hairballs for good is by grooming your cat. Everything else is really a waste of time. Doing anything else besides grooming only hides the symptoms or helps your cat digest hairballs already in its stomach. However, you can reduce the number of hairballs your cat gets. Prevention of Hairballs A cat uses its tongue to groom, which picks up loose fur. That fur is then swallowed and ends up in the stomach. Under good circumstances, that fur will be passed on through the intestines with no fuss right into the litter box. When too much fur is swallowed, it comes together to form a hairball, then the poor kitty ends up throwing the hairball up. - Shorthaired Cats...

Researchers in UK have recently come out with a finding about a new bacterium, that is resistant to most known antibiotics. It was found to be present in 37 people who had traveled recently to India and Pakistan. Their research focused on a unique resistance mechanism in certain variety of Gram-negative bacteria which they chose to call the Superbug NDM-1, an acronym for "New Delhi metallo-B-lactamase - 1." By adding the suffix "1″ perhaps they are expecting a series of "2″ and maybe "3″! Whatever be the case, the suggestion itself is worth pondering about; after all, even the World War 1 were not called so till such time the World War II started! However, experts are unanimous in...

Oil spill prevention can be a challenge. But there are some things that can be done that will either prevent oil spills from happening altogether -- or at least provide some degree of damage control. In order to prevent oil spills, it's important to ensure that there is always at least one extra layer of protection between the oil and the surrounding area. So if the oil is stored in drums or barrels, don't just set those barrels down on the shop floor, and don't just pile them onto the tractor trailer either. That's just asking for trouble. Instead, look for ways to create a double layer between the oil and the environment. Fortunately, there are numerous products available that help with that. The...

A church, no matter the congregation to which it belongs, is regularly packed with people because it is a place where people gather to worship and socialize afterwards. In most areas throughout the UK, the town church and the adjacent office and hall, even serve the purpose of being a meeting place for various social and church-based activities. Therefore, just like in an office, there are many people within a church area at any given time. To ensure the utmost protection of those who commune in faith and in brotherhood, there is thus a need to have a complete church fire safety plan in place. Here are the four components of a complete fire prevention and safety plan. A comprehensive and detailed...

International Human Rights law in one sense offers great promise and hope because of the lofty ideals which it espouses and in another sense great disappointment because of the gap between what these idealistic statements proscribe in terms of an aspiration for all mankind and the reality under which most people live. If all of the rights which are said to exist under the international human rights law project did actually exist, a global utopia would have come into existence. However all around the world, there are routinely breaches of the rights set out in the fundamental documents that proscribe what rights mankind is supposed to enjoy simply as a result of the fact that we are human. The body...

Shropshire Divorce Solicitor leading the Family Law team at Martin Kaye Solicitors in Telford warns divorcing couples after a husband leads a divorce "pay fight". The Telford Solicitor said that "well-publicised divorce cases have led to several wives becoming millionaires in their own right. But now, it seems some of the husbands are planning to take action and many others could follow suit." It has been announced that Alan Miller, who was instructed to pay his wife £5 million - even though they had only been married for 18 months - has decided to challenge the ruling in the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. "His original case and its result set the standard for this kind of case...

Justice Antonin Scalia says he is a passionate critic of those judicial decisions that he considers as to be "legislating from the bench." He further contends that the Constitution has a fixed and knowable meaning, which was established at the time of its drafting. With this in mind, let's take a look at the recent Supreme Court decision to reject the Washington D.C. Ban on Handgun Ownership. The 5-4 Ruling found that the 1976 Law was incompatible with the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the Bill of Rights that declares: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall...

Many people ask what foods they can eat to help lift their serotonin levels, and therefore help treat their depression. What people don't know to ask is about the adverse reactions to foods that can actually cause depression. Adverse reactions to foods include food allergies, food sensitivities and blood sugar imbalances. When these reactions to foods are diagnosed, and the right restricted diet is untaken, it can lead to the depression and anxiety being resolved. Let's take a look at a few of these adverse reactions to food now, and how they are related to depression and anxiety. 1) Celiac disease Celiac disease, also spelled coeliac, is a digestive disease in which the body's immune system reacts...

Neil Young is 64-years old and is the current MusiCares Person of the Year. I'm not surprised that Young received the honor given his decades of work with Farm Aid and Bridge School Concerts. Some of the biggest names in the business serenaded Young with his own songs: Elton John, James Taylor, Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow Leon Russel, and Keith Russell. Young was quoted as saying that he'd forgotten how many songs he'd written. How did Young hit retirement age? He's at the point in his life when he either 1) created so many songs he lost count or 2) really can't remember. This kind of thing happens when you're talented, successful and 64. Jack Black was the emcee at the event. Black talked about how...

Let's start with a quote from "Gray is Green": "Today's elderly generation has unwittingly exploited the earth in the mistaken belief that its resources were infinite. With better knowledge, we seek now to repair that damage and leave a better heritage to our children and grandchildren." O.K., except for taking exception to being considered "elderly" (at least,not yet), I do strongly agree with the above quote. Robert Lane,90, helped create the above website called Gray is Green after convincing his Connecticut retirement community to conserve energy. It is an interesting website with a lot of cool links as well as a blog that I believe was recently started. Go check it out. As talk of global...

Many times those who have experienced anxiety problems or panic related issues often get to know that their siblings and parents have also went through the same kind of problems. However, sadly a lot of people keep their problem secret; therefore they do not find out if their problem is hereditary or not from their family until a time comes when minor issues morph into more severe ones. Often times, people only share their problems with their family members when their problem has become chronic and therefore, they need help in overcoming it, and that is when some other family member also confides that they also have went through similar problems as well in their teenage or even adult years. However...

By translating your dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation you are going to discover a wise doctor, who sends you protective messages through images and sounds. This doctor has a separate brain, an ancient brain, and sends you information and guidance in dreams in order to help you eliminate the wild side of your conscience, which is schizophrenic. This means that you are already born with a content that is characterized by total absurdity in your own brain. The image you'll have when you learn how to translate your own dreams is that your tiny human conscience is influenced by the wise unconscious mind that sends you protective and informative dreams on one hand, and by...

'Who put the boys in the club house? You did, baby, you did.' The song 'Keep a Lid on Things' by the Crash Test Dummies sums it up. Psychiatric rehabilitation organisations are often there to simply keep a lid on things (clients' behaviour) rather than to get them back in the mainstream of society. Their stated aims are often vastly different from the actual outcomes. Does the ghetto keep you sick? So it seems. Last year an Australian research team interviewed people who had bipolar disorder, and one of the findings was stunning--people who did not use psychiatric rehabilitation services tended to stay well longer than those who did*. If you're coming out of a bipolar crisis, perhaps just out of...

Separation and correct understanding are the cornerstones of successful treatment and recovery from serious emotional disorders. But there are additional factors and modalities, of course, including the judicious use of medications, the occasional administration of ECT, the cross referencing of adult and infant realities, the immediate identification of relapses each time there is a contact with a family member, the use of day programs, of work, school and community services, the therapeutic alliance and the personal interaction with the patient. CROSS REFERENCING THE REALITIES The therapist must become an anchor in adult reality, a person with whom the patient can relate at such a firm adult to...

Even by looking around us - in our families, neighborhood, schools, and play parks - it is an obvious sight to see children nowadays are getting obese. Years ago, babies were just fat and as they grew older, these kids tend to shun away from their fat bodies towards a slimmer profile. Being fat before was sometimes a point of ridicule for some kids. It became awkward for those kids on the fat side to mingle with schoolmates as they were taunted and even found it difficult to participate in rowdy kid's games. But nowadays the scenario has spiraled into a body ballooning for fat kids. They have gone up into the obese level. It will result on many known body complaints or diseases triggered by obesity...

People cherish their independence from youth all the way to the end of their days. While it is important to respect a person's desire to maintain self-sufficient, as loved ones get older it is necessary to outfit their home with the proper items to maximize safety. The old a person gets, the more vulnerable they become to injury and the more severe the repercussions of injury are.

Home invasions are rapidly becoming an epidemic. Maybe not so surprisingly, a lot a home invasions are the direct results of drugs. As drug usage proliferates home invasions may become much more problematic. To my humble way of thinking they are much more dangerous than a regular burglary. Burglars work by themselves and in 95% of the times choose homes that are unoccupied. They are usually unarmed unskilled and have absolutely no desire to get caught. Home invaders on the other hand, deliberately choose homes that are occupied. Almost always work with at least one other person and are almost always armed. They get what they want by intimidation, brute force and threats of deadly violence. They are...

Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease that usually involves the small intestine. Men and women are affected equally. A Crohn's disease diet plan is essential for sufferers as inflammation in the intestine impedes the absorption and retention of essential nutrients and prescription medication may further interfere with the bone renewal process. The erosion of bone health from Crohn's disease may occur for any of the following reasons: - Sufferers may reduce the amount they eat in order to avoid the pain associated with digestion- and avoid dairy and high fiber vegetables that are essential for healthy bones - Absorption of nutrients (and calcium in particular) may be poor through the...

When food enters the stomach it will secret hydrochloric acid and the enzyme pepsin to begin digestion of its content. The second sphincter at the lower part of the esophagus, bordering the stomach, remains closed until food reaches it. However, in some individuals the muscle tone of that sphincter is poor and remains open - allowing stomach contents to reenter up the esophagus and into the throat. This condition is called acid reflux. Acid reflux, or gastro-esophageal reflux (GERD), is the most commonly used name for a disease that results in damage of the esophagus. Stomach digestive juices containing hydrochloric acids and the protein digesting enzyme pepsin are forced to return back into the...

Loose skin is one of the natural signs of skin aging. As we get older, our skin loses its original elasticity. The major proteins that used to hold dermis tissues together cannot be produced abundantly anymore. This leads to the loss of skin elasticity. On the other hand, loose skin is something that can be significantly prevented. You can put off the loss of elasticity if you know what you are doing. There are certain things that can retain elasticity and can maintain youthful dermis functions. Here are some of the most effective ones: 1. Tone and tighten your dermis through exercise. It has been established that people who live a sedentary lifestyle are more likely to experience loose dermis...

Recurring eye puffiness can trigger accelerated skin aging. The puffiness usually occurs in the orbits or the skin tissues that surround the peepers. This is usually caused by fluid retention.

As a result, you might experience the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines. The following are some of the tips that can prevent this problem from occurring: 1. Avoid eating salty foods right before going to sleep. When we sleep, our body slows down in its distribution of fluid. This can worsen if you eat...

Millions of Americans are experiencing the dilemma of what to do with their parents as they age. Seniors are the fastest growing segment of our population and as they get older the question of how they spend their final days looms large. With more and more baby boomers reaching retirement age, the stress and strain put on assisted living facilities and long term care homes is growing every day. The supply of qualified people to staff these facilities is not keeping up. One of the reasons is because the healthcare industry is in such a shortfall of people that their wages are much much higher. What happens then is assisted living facilities are almost forced to make compromises in hiring people. Is...
