But you know it better as pain, swelling, stiffness, deformity, and/or a diminished range of motion of those joints! It’s estimated that over 50 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other related conditions.

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis. Osteo arthritis seems to come with the wear and tear of aging and affects nearly three-quarters of those over 50. The onset of arthritis is marked by morning stiffness, crackling joints, and perhaps some pain. As it progresses it causes discomfort, more pain, and some disability. It also causes an enormous consumption of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs that can have undesirable long-term effects.

If left untreated, osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, along with other forms of rheumatoid disease, can become progressively worse…

* 2 ciabatta dinner rolls, split and toasted n Goat cheese n Salt n 1/2 large peach, sliced thinly (see note) n Arugula leaves n Fresh basil leaves n Prosciutto, sliced

* Exact measurements aren’t important for this mini sandwich. The idea is to mix the tangy, salty, sweet, peppery, and meaty flavors to your liking.

* Spread goat cheese on each of the cut sides of the toasted rolls. (You’ll end up with goat cheese on four pieces of bread.) Sprinkle a little salt on top of the goat cheese.

* Layer peach slices on the bottom halves of the rolls, on top of the goat cheese.

* Layer a mixture of about 3 parts arugula and 1 part basil leaves on top of the peaches. Feel free to pile on the greens.

* Top the greens with prosciutto slices. Close up the sandwiches and eat immediately

Beatles and Stones rule online auctions

Goldmine, Jun 4, 2010 by Sliwicki, Susan

ONLY FITTING THAT GOLDMINE’S Beatles issue features some Beatles in the Market Watch roundup. Could it be that record sellers are psychics who are tuned in to our editorial schedule? Nah, it’s probably the same old story: great collectible records command great prices, and The Beatles have had some great records.

1. $5,873.60 – The Beatles, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” LP. The seller advises potential buyers that they’d struggle to find a much better copy of this “jaw-dropping” album, and buyers agreed. This U.K. mono copy is “easily one of the loveliest first issue Pepper’s I have ever had the pleasure to handle,” the seller said. The 145-gram vinyl looks “stunning,” and a visual grading places it at Excellent possibly Near Mint, with wispy bag removal marks visible under a halogen lamp, the seller says. The sleeve is in near-perfect condition, save for an odd half-moon crease and a bit of laminate flake, the buyer said. The labels grade at Excellent Plus and the insert at Near Mint.

2. $4,740 – Mississippi John Hurt 78. Not a lot of commentary from the seller on this blues record, simply that this is a Near Mint copy of Mississippi John Hurt on Okeh 8759 with a light surface market that doesn’t affect play. Apparently, that was enough information for eager bidders.

3. $3,050.99 – Nirvana, “Love Buzz” 45. Making a return engagement in Market Watch is a Nirvana 45, this time No. 28 of 1,000 of the hand-numbered singles from Sub Pop Records. The grunge rockers charted at No. 9 in the last installment of Market Watch, pulling in $2,399 for a promo version of the record. The seller grades it in excellent condition, and states the record has been living between two sturdy cardboards for the two years he’s had it.

4. $2,797.38 – The Beatles, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” LP. “Hello, Goodbye…” oh, wait, that’s a different album. Well, anyway, The Beatles are saying hello again in this week’s countdown for an encore, again with “Sgt. Pepper.” This 1967 U.K. stereo pressing grades in Near Mint condition, both with visual and play grading, according to the seller. It bears the yellow and black Parlophone labels, which also are in Near Mint condition. The cover weighs in at Excellent condition with some thumbnail creases and shelf wear rub, but a high-gloss front panel and sharp, square corners, while the cut-out sheet lands in Mint condition.

5. $2,827.77 – Benny Cliff Trio, “Shake ‘Em Up Rock” b/w “The Breaking Point” 45. Nothing like a little rockabilly to “shake up” the Market Watch party, and according to the seller, this 1959 Benny Cliff disc on the Drift label is “the real deal from Portland, Ore.”

The seller calls this one of the rarest records in the world and says it was only be the third copy ever found and placed on eBay. The vinyl clocks in at Very Good Plus, and the labels are free of wear and pen marks.

6. $2,789.96 – Ravel, “Cluytens Complete” LP Box Set. Ravel may not be at the top of your play list but he’s one of many classical artists whose work has cracked the Market Watch countdown lately. This 4-LP box features the complete orchestral works of Ravel as performed by La Societe des Concerts du Conservatoire, conducted by Andre Cluytens. According to the seller, this is a rare and desirable early U.K. Columbia issue of the box set and the vinyl appears shiny and like new and grades in Near Mint condition, as do the labels. The insert is in Near Mint-Minus shape, only bearing the signs of the first owner in the form of a handwritten note with a signature. The box is well preserved but shows some signs of normal storage at its corners, landing it at Excellent Plus condition.

7. David Whiffen “At The Bunkhouse Coffeehouse” LP. Who says there aren’t collectible folk records? This “extinct Canadian-only folk LP” is Wiffen’s first and Canada’s No. 1 folk rarity, according to the seller. The cover and vinyl both rate VG Plus, with some odd surface marks and light pops or ticks on the vinyl.

8. $2,500 – Rolling Stones Audiophile box

An Edinburgh basement flat will lift your spirits.

There are plenty of surprises in the basement flat at 9a Oxford Terrace, Edinburgh, one of which is apparent as you descend the steps from street level. Opposite the front door of the flat and tucked under the pavement, one of the flat’s three cellars has a glass door and has, in fact, been turned into a home study. Juliet Lee, who owns the flat with her husband Elliott, says “All three cellars are dry lined and have electricity and light but we’ve taken the middle one and insulated it properly for use as an office. It is 8ft high in the centre, so it seemed a waste to leave it merely for storage.”

The couple bought the flat five years ago and the cellar workspace isn’t their only innovation. While the layout, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room, kitchen and conservatory has remained largely the same, they have upgraded and made the home work better for them.

The master bedroom now has a larger en suite bathroom and both bathrooms and the kitchen were completely redone. Juliet says: “One of the kitchen windows looks out into the conservatory and the kitchen surface cut right across it, so in redoing it we reconfigured the kitchen so that didn’t have to happen.”

They also installed underfloor heating throughout and put a radiator in the space under the old stairs which would have lead to the rest of the townhouse before it was divided. Juliet says “I hate seeing clothes lying around the place while they dry, so that clears them all out of the way. It is really useful and it is also shelved so provides more indoor storage.” The start of the old stairs are still visible outside the drying room but the couple have made a feature bookcase out of them and tucked a seat at the top; a hideaway nook that visiting children love.

The garden is a decent size for a city flat too, even allowing for the land that has been used by the conservatory. It makes a nice, private place to sit now that the weather is improving.

All basement flats have to make the most of the light they have but there are some great touches here, meaning the home never feels subterranean. Top of the list is the conservatory, which is accessed off the sitting room and bedroom three. The door from the sitting room has extra glass panels surrounding it, so lets a huge amount of light in which is reflected back by judicious use of a large mirror towards the back of the room

GONE are the days when

GONE are the days when the second time bride known as the “encore bride” has to settle for scaled down ceremonies with fewer guests.

With over 45% percent of all weddings today involving one or both partners who have been married before, it’s difficult to tell from the attire whether the modern bride is marrying for the first or umpteenth time. In fact, the modern bride who is lucky enough to find love again is trampling on the old traditions. Now their wedding is based on their taste and their budget. With the motto being: “This is the last time, and it’s got to be the best.”

The ?encore bride? is in a different place than when she had her first wedding. They are confident, they have more money to spend, and they know what they want. Their focus is on “simple elegance”.

Whether it is your first, second or third wedding the focal point is still the wedding dress.

There are also no guarantees and warranties, just like when buying from a used-car salesman.

If the vehicle you like is in good condition and is also popular, expect to bid up usually beyond the vehicle’s actual value. It is important to take into consideration that you should try not to overpay. It is best to go for older vehicles that are a bit less perfect.

All in all, when in government used vehicle auctions, always be prepared to lose and win. Be also ready to pay up within the period set up by the government auction.

The modern discovery

The modern discovery shed light on the evolutionary survival strategies that emerge in a person?s instinctual trauma response. This discovery revealed that certain reparative tasks could reconstruct the traumatic memory as an unthreatening fact of history now devoid of danger. The treatment process requires simply the completion of specific reparative tasks and does not require periods of working through. The treatment needs to be only as long as the time required for completing the tasks.

Marathon Treatment

Once therapists learned that trauma therapy could proceed without waiting for insight to percolate over time they tried to condense treatment procedures into a marathon approach. Instead of scheduling one hour a week for a year they scheduled the same number of hours, one after the other, in a two-week period (10 days with the week-end off). They found to their delight that patients not only tolerated the marathon treatment but found it to be more desirable than the conventional schedule. Measures of outcome at one week, three months, and six months showed an excellent result. The final outcome of the first 50 dissociative patients (DDNOS: 37, DID: 13) Showed 31% recovered, 53% improved, 12% unchanged, and 4% worse.

This research, which included clinical trials with obese volunteers, has yielded some promising results. Subjects given hoodia gordonii ended up eating about 1,000 calories a day less than those in the control group, who were fed a placebo. That is an impressively high figure, when you consider that the average American man consumes about 2,600 calories a day, and a woman about 1,900 calories.

According to Phytopharm, if you take this hoodia compound every day, your desire to eat goes down. That was illustrated dramatically in the research. So, all was looking very promising for the millions of obese men and women around the world.

Large pharmaceutical company Pfizer partnered Phytopharm in expanding the research, and a synthetic form of the critical ingredient was possible.

ACMS offers route to career in medicine

ACMS offers route to career in medicine

0 Comments | New Straits Times, Jul 24, 2010 | by Adie Suri Zulkefli

A DECADE ago, a degree or a diploma scroll would be enough to ensure a promising career ahead. But how things have changed since.

Recent statistics from the Higher Education Ministry reveals that 30,000 graduates remain jobless six months after graduation.

One of the main factors is the ever changing economic structure and landscape, which inadvertently creates a mismatch between the workforce churned out by institutions of higher learning and demands in the job market.

However, there is one sector that has proven its resilience despite the changes in the global economic climate and it is none other than the medical and applied sciences sector.

Allianze College of Medical Sciences (ACMS) executive chairman Datuk Dr Zainuddin Wazir said a survey conducted in the United States showed that medical and applied sciences topped the list of preferred tertiary-level education.

“The main reason is job security and this reflects the global trend,” said the renowned heart surgeon.

Apart from job security, there are also other factors that make medical and applied sciences studies attractive.

Dr Zainuddin said it was the social status of those working in the medical field.

“The community tends to appreciate medical doctors, nurses, physiotherapist and those involved in saving lives and helping patients.”

However, choosing the right institution institution of higher learning is no simple matter.

Not all graduates from universities or colleges are able to meet stringent job market demands.

This is where ACMS came into the picture.

Dr Zainuddin, who is also the college’s chief executive officer, said ACMS had a clear vision in producing well-trained graduates who would be able to function according to the employers’ expectation.

What differentiates ACMS from other institutions is the fact that the core prime movers of the college, like Dr Zainuddin himself, are trained medical practitioners themselves.

“Our teaching staff are trained practitioners recruited from renowned medical and training institutions globally.

“We have the best brains in our advisory council,” he said at ACMS main campus in Bertam, Kepala Batas, Penang.

As of the teaching staff, Dr Zainuddin said ACMS was aggressively recruiting industrial-savvy lecturers both from locally and abroad.

“Currently, we have lecturers from India, Pakistan, Myanmar, the Philippines and Britain. We are in the process of recruiting lecturers from Ireland and Australia.”

Dr Zaniuddin, who aims to position the college as the top “meducationist” in the country and the world by 2015, said its strategic partnership with local and global players enabled ACMS to produce excellent medical graduates.

Apart from its twinning medical degree programme with Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, ACMS also has a longstanding collaboration with Universitas Sumatera Utara in Indonesia.

ACMS is also offering a bachelor degree in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics in collaboration with National University of Ireland and a bachelor degree in Medicine, Surgery and Obstetrics in collaboration with National University of College Cork, Ireland.

The collaborations have allowed ACMS to cater to up to 500 medical degree students.

ACMS is expected to introduce its own medical degree once it is granted a university-college status.

The college also offers pre-medical certificate intensive programme that prepares students for the medical degree.

ACMS also offers comprehensive diploma-level courses in nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy, medical sciences and medical laboratory technology. To complement the modern medicines, ACMS would be introducing alternative complimentary medical programme.

ACMS students carry out their training at existing public hospitals and there is a strong reason in exposing them to the real world.

“Upon entering the job market, the graduates will be working in this type of set-up and not the typical set-up at university hospitals
