May this holy month bring the spirit of giving, peace, patience, forgiveness, tolerance and much more to all man-kind and especially those suffering from natural and manmade disasters in Sudan, Syria, Egypt, Myanmar, China and world wide. Change is probably the most repeated word of the 21st century but I would like to reiterate that No change will come to a people unless they change that which dwells within them. So I hope that we can be the change we want to see, as each and every individual has a potential that is greater than he or she can ever imagine. As we are concluding the holy month and approach laylat Al-Qadr we pray for peace and righteousness to overcome war and pestilence worldwide and for mankind to find better means of coexistence and tolerance.

I hope you enjoy this months collection of articles and make use of the various Ramadan offers that you will find within the magazine. I have to mention a few of the must-have experiences during Ramadan and they would have to be visiting Al-Housh in Omdurman,Barcelos flame grilled chicken on Obeid Khatim Street or for an amazing Mexican menu, you must try Mercury restaurant which recently opened in Sudan. Look inside for more details and special offers.

If there was a Noble Peace Prize for technology, I would absolutely nominate SAMSUNG, as the technology they are making available to all consumers is surely making the world a smaller and more united community. This is not the work of an unconscious, profit driven company but rather a visionary making leaps and bounds to create a better tomorrow, today.

Eid Al Fitr A Celebration of Unity

By | Editorial Team

Eid Al-Fitr, often abbreviated to Eid, is a three-day Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Eid is an Arabic word meaning festivity, while Fitr implies the nal breaking of the fast. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the thirty days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadan. The rst day of Eid, therefore, falls on the rst day of the month Shawwal.With the end of the holy month of Ramadan approaches, families are preoccupied with preparations for the Eid. A few decades ago this meant buying new clothes for the family and toys for the children, making cookies and cleaning the house thoroughly. The same preparations take place today, but at a different level.The market rush begins despite the increasing prices. New clothes are bought for everyone, and the cleaning madness begin. Cleaning the house before the Eid is like the western spring-cleaning, where everything is thoroughly cleaned. In many houses the evening before the Eid would see the Furniture moved to make sure no dust remained underneath, lamps would be taken down and washed, windows and glass would be shined; anything that could be cleaned was, until the house would be gleaming. In the villages, fresh sand would be sprinkled on the oor and dampened and smoothed down, or linoleum would be purchased and laid on the earth or tiles. Now most houses have tiles or cement oors covered with rugs, so cleaning them is also an easier task.In the large towns, as well as having a thorough clean, those who can afford it buy new furnishings and redecorate their homes. Those less well-off will denitely have the beds covered with new sheets, tables will have dainty mats or cloths and if possible new curtains will adorn the windows. All these preparations are done so that family and friends can celebrate a happy new year in clean and attractive surroundings.

Traditional cookies and sweets are no longer made at home as in the past due to wide spread of modern bakeries and many women have taken up traditional sweets making business to increase their incomes supported by some funds. The idea is liked and encouraged by many families. These families prefer buying ready sweets and cakes from the markets or nearby supermarkets. However, some household women still prefer making their own at home because of the wonderful feeling of sharing the early joys of Eid as every member of the family is involved in the process, including children who bring in the necessities from the market, carry the trays, and help shape the delicious cookies and sweets.In the past, there used to be different types and shapes of cakes. The traditional shapes like (soft cake, biscuits, Petit four, sugar-dusted shortbread (Kaak) and Ghuraiba), but today new shapes and names of cookies and sweets are replacing traditional ones as we are opening up to our neighboring Arab world and other countries.

Cookies and Sweets

7issue # 41 I August 2013

Notably, many women frequent beauty parlors to come out in their most attractive look during the Eid days. In Sudan people tend to arrange for their weddings during Eid holidays too, thus women go over the board beautifying themselves throughout the Eid holidays, with captivating henna designs and bright silk dresses.

A Celebration of Beauty

It is forbidden to fast on the Day of Eid, and it is customary to acknowledge this with a small sweet breakfast, preferably of the date fruit, before attending a special Eid prayer. As an obligatory act of charity, money is paid to the poor and the needy (Arabic: Sadaqat-ul-tr) before performing the Eid prayer. At the mosuqe, muslims recite the following incantation in a low voice while going to the Eid prayer: Allhu Akbar, Allhu Akbar, Allhu Akbar. L ilha ill l-Lh wal-Lhu akbar, Allahu akbar walil-Lhi l-amd. Recitation ceases when they get to the place of Eid or once the Imam commences activities.Eid prayers are usually held in a wide open space where the men can place their prayer mats in rows. The women and children do the same but on the perimeter separated from the men. Everyone washes up and dresses in his/her nery. Those who stay at home preparing the breakfast will take advantage of an empty house to also have a bath and put on clean or new clothes before guests begin to arrive.

After the prayers people greet each other with Eid greetings and wish each other a year of health, happiness and success. Some even wishmarriage, a child or whatever is desired.

Families and groups of greeters go off visiting neighbors, friends and relatives, knocking on every door, hugging and wishing well, and are offered a drink and cookies. Children gather and play with their new toysduring the day and watch the reworks in the evening.

Hamzah

Hamza ibn Abdul-Muttalib is the parental uncle of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and his foster brother. He and Prophet Muhammad were raised together as they were of the same age. He was exceptionally good in the art of swordsmanship and wrestling, Hamza also used his experience and talents in the best interest of Islam and he even was given the title of Chief of the Martyrs by Prophet Muhammad. He was very fond of hunting, wrestling, swordsmanship and archery. There were many brave and strong ofcers and champions in the army of Islam but Hamzah was the bravest of all. Hamza converted to Islam after witnessing injustice and hostility by Amr ibn Hisham against Muslims. His conversion to Islam, which happened in the fth year of proclamation, was seen as a blessing by Muslims to have a brave, truth seeking, ignorance bashing warrior by their side. His conversion gave all the Muslims strength and great honor. They became able to speak freely and pray in public.

Hamzah was known to be the bravest man of Arabia and was regarded as a great ofcer of Islam, in consul or in the battleeld, he was the man you trusted and wanted by your side. The Lion of God, as he was called, was a senior and valiant warrior who killed the Shaybah, the vile enemy from Quraysh in a duel in the battle of Badr. He fought injustice and whoever

forced oppression on the people. The battle of Badr is regarded as the rst battle of Islam.

He had become a strong supporter of Prophet Muhammad and endured the ostracization of Muslims. He helped them during hard times and throughout the Year of Sorrow. This was when many of his close relatives died. He then became a trusted adviser after the Hijra, when Prophet Muhammad led the edgling state of Madina. Hamzah advised Muhammad to take the offensive against all those who had thrown the Muslims out of their homes and seized their property. He insisted that the army of Islam must go to Madina and ght against the Quraysh. Hamzah also protected the Prophet in Makkah during times of trouble.

He only had one concept in his mind and that is to defend the truth for the freedom of human beings. On 19th March 625, Hamza fought alongside Muslims in the Battle of Uhud. Shielding the prophet with two swords. The slave of Abyssininan Wahshy ibn Harb was near the mountain of Uhud, where the battle was fought. His master Jubayr ibn Mutim had promised to grant him freedom if he killed Hamza. Wahshy ibn Harb who was skilled in using the Javelin, killed Hamzah, and left the battle as he had no other reason for ghting.

Hidden Meanings

Behind Rose ColorsBy | Gregg Pennington


Do you see the world through rose colored glasses? Traditionally this saying was used to describe some-one who only sees pleasant things around them, blissfully ignorant of any problems. Roses actually come in a variety of colors, so you could wear a set of yellow or blue rose colored glasses and experience a completely different set of emotions than with the traditional red or pink lenses.

Throughout history, roses have been given on every imaginable occasion, and this highly symbolic gesture has continued to evolve in meaning and tradition. Give the wrong color rose and you could be socially ostracized- well, most likely not, but it never hurts to be aware of the symbolic meaning of the roses you are going to send.

Many of our ideas about the symbol-ic meaning behind plants and ower colors come from Victorian times, when people did not feel free to ver-bally express certain feelings. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, rst in Europe and then later in the Americas, language-of-owers dic-tionaries ourished, giving proper Victorian people a more societally acceptable way to communicate deep, passionate feelings.

Red, at least on St. Valentines Day, is the most commonly given color of rose, and it usually symbolizes ro-mantic love. It can also symbolize courage and passion, but giving red roses to someone not aware of this could lead to an uncomfortable mis-understanding. Be aware of the pos-sible perceptions of your intended recipient.

While all red roses symbolize de-sire, subtle variations in color can have different symbolic meaning. Amaranth red roses are a symbol of long standing desire, and cardinal red means sublime desire. Carmine means false desire, and ery red can represent ames of passion. A deep red rose can indicate bashful shame. The burgundy rose has always been symbolic of unconscious beauty.

Do you need a rose that sends a more platonic message of friendship and good will? Consider the yellow rose, messenger of joy, friendship, caring, sympathy, and delight. A yellow rose can also symbolize new beginnings, and can say Remember Me. In Victorian times, yellow roses

were a symbol of jealousy. The ambiguous nature of the meaning of yellow roses lends magic to this color choice as a gift.

The white rose is commonly used in weddings, and in this context it signies happy love. It can also mean spiritual love and purity, hu-mility, charm, or innocence. It can also mean, I am worthy of you, or be used as a gesture of platonic love.

Lavender roses symbolize love at rst sight and enchantment, and can also be used to say congratu-lations to a graduate. Any shade of purple rose exudes a sense of majestic beauty.

A pink rose can hold many mean-ings. A darker pink rose can sym-bolize gratitude and appreciation, while a lighter shade of pink could show admiration, sympathy, or joy. Orange roses can signify en-thusiasm or desire, or a feeling of warmth, whereas coral usually im-plies only desire.

The nal two colors of roses are in-tertwined with the world of fantasy and mythology. While neither black nor blue roses occur naturally, both are attempted by orists through drying and dyeing. Black has tra-ditionally been symbolic of death. Consequently, the black rose has been seen as a bad omen, but may also signal rejuvenation. The black rose is probably best used only as a gag gift, however, its meaning is likely to be misinterpreted and you may wind up scaring someone. The blue rose has been considered the holy grail of roses. While sci-entists are currently trying to genet-ically engineer this elusive ower, the only ones now commercially available are created using blue dye. The blue rose symbolizes fan-tasy, impossibility, and the search for miracles.

Sending roses has always been a way to express feelings that are difcult to convey in words. By carefully selecting the color, you add a touch of class to any gift and can convey a message steeped in emotion and history. Even though you are no longer blissfully igno-rant about the meaning behind the colors of roses, at least you can nd the rose colored glasses that best t you.

Trust is the bedrock for build-ing a strong relationship. How-ever, lack of trust is one of the most common themes to surface in most relationships. If you are struggling with the issue of trust in your relationship below are some tips to help you develop greater trust with your partner.

Trust means that you have placed your condence and faith in your partner, and that you expect honesty, integrity, loyalty, and respect to be at the center of your relationship. You also expect your partner to keep promises and condences, and to stay with you when the going gets tough.

Your trust should always be earned; you should not give it to another lightly. When you rst met your partner, you probably shared information that helped you to gure out whether or not he or she was worthy of your trust and of your heart. As you got to know your partner better, you most likely shared more vulnerable information about yourself, expecting that he or she would hold this most precious part of you in a place of safety and love. At some point, however, your wonderful partner may have either said or done something that triggered you and your trust was broken.

We are all inherently complex beings who bring our past experiences, hurts, fears and

expectations into every new relationship we enter. Sometimes our woundedness spills over into our relationship and we lose our ability to feel safe in our relationship - regardless of whether or not our partner actually deserved our lack of trust.

If you would like to deepen the trust between you and your partner, please try these 10 tips:

1.Keep what your partner tells you within the connes of your relationship. Telling others what your partner has shared with you in condence destroys trust.

2.Dont rely on email, phone calls and texts to communicate with your partner. Spend time communicat-ing face-to-face. Communicating in person will help each of you to build a greater sense of security as you become more open and vulnerable with one another.

3. Consider your partners interests.The more you do for him or her, the more he or she will know that they can count on you and that you have their best interests at heart. If your partner feels like they can count on you, it will make it much easier for them to share the more vulner-able parts of themselves with you.

4.Follow through with the little promises that you make. For example, if you say that you will call or be some place at a certain time, be sure that you do these things. Small actions matter

Build A Stronger Relationship10 Tips to Deepen Trust


toward helping you to build a strong foundation of trust.

5.Learn to apologize when you make a mistake or disappoint your partner. An authentic apology should be sincere and from the heart. To be truly meaningful, take responsibility for your actions and reassure your partner that you understand how your action impacted him or her.

6.As you learn more about your partner, allow yourself to share more personal information and history with him or her. Aim for balance between how much each of you shares, since trust is not built if only one person shares.

7.Spend time together doing things that make each of you happy. Since you are two different people, you will naturally like some different things. Being open to a new experience that your partner brings to you will build the bond between you and trust will follow.

8.Practice forgiveness when you are upset with your partner, and let go of a hurt after the two of you have talked it through. Receiving a sincere apology builds trust in an important way.

9.Take some time away from your partner to check in with yourself, and get some feedback from your trusted friends or relatives. By taking space and speaking with a trusted friend or relative, you may gain a new perspective about your relationship. For example, you may discover that you have been pushing aside information about your partner that tells you this person cannot be trusted. On the other hand, you may discover that your partner is ultimately worthy of your trust.

10.Trust can uctuate over time as each of you experiences the bumps of life. Reassure each other that your love and safety are still intact. This will further strengthen the foundation of trust between the two of you.



After a month of intensive scrutiny of Mashrouy applications, the selection process has nally ended. The process itself was completed in two stages; in the rst stage approximately 2000 applications have been reduced to the best 100 applications, this selection process included specialized committees assigned to each project according to its category.

The second stage was conducted by a different neutral committee that has inspected all the projects, and focused on the factor of innovation as well as feasibility in its selection criteria. The process ended by selecting the best 24 projects.

Mashrouy is the rst project to evolve from the partnership between The British Embassy, The British Council and the Sudanese Young Business Men Association, to support young entrepreneurship in Sudan. The competition is to be broadcast on the Blue Nile TV in which 12 contestants present their projects in front of a panel of experts.

The 24 nal best projects included eco-friendly dcor, bio-fuel projects, a hot springs spa and peanut butter and chilli sauce recipe.

The Project aims to shed light on youth entrepreneurship in Sudan; Mashrouy would be an educative experience on how to develop an idea into a project, and how to transform an opportunity into an investment.

Mashrouy, a rst of its kind competition in Sudan will be broadcastedon the Blue Nile TV in mid-September.

Mindfulness and Mood Swings7 Secrets for Successful Mood-Watching

By | Maya Frost

Mood-watching is a fascinating mindfulness exercise, and youve got plenty of high and low pressure areas of your own to keep you busy. The trick is learning how to read the ol mood barometer.

If youre in the middle of a storm, you cant even see the horizon, let alone remember to look that direction in order to be aware of whats headingyour way. You need clear skies for that - or at least a very high cloud cover.

You can do this with your own moods, but frankly, its a lot easier to practice by watching others. In both cases, we need to learn how to recognize the signs of an approaching storm.

We tend to get in the way of understanding our own moods while were in them. Were better at developing our mood-watching skills when we start with someone elses storm. So, lets do that.

By becoming a nonjudgmental observer of the moods of those you love, you can learn a great deal about yourself and your own reactions. Here are seven key mood-watching elements:

1. Take a look at the satellite mapWhats coming up in the next few hours or days? A test? An interview? A break-up? A big game? A project deadline? Be aware of the high and low pressure zones and pay attention to any merging storm fronts that could result in gale force winds.

2. Dont rely on the forecast exclusivelySometimes the storms that are predicted on the morning news never materialize. Its great to know whats expected, but dont forget to check things out for yourself. Perfect storm conditions might end up as blue skies. Watch faces for signs of tension, sadness, or frustration. Watch bodies for adrenalin responses (using arms and legs to slam, stomp, pound, etc.) ASK. Offer reassurances -- a soothing voice, a hand on a shoulder -- that you are there and you care. And if, despite dire warnings, the storm never develops, acknowledge and celebrate that!


3. Be preparedHow can you respond lovingly to anothers storm? By planning ahead. Plan to be available, if only to listen. Plan to be a calming presence. Plan to take nothing personally when those inevitable winds lash at you.

4. Ride it outAh, yes. Heres the tough one. Dont let someone elses storm become YOURS. We all say and do things when were in a full-on mood hurricane, and it can get ugly. Yelling at the wind wont change its direction or force, and when youre talking about mood storms, adding your own wind only makes things worse. Remember: your role is not to stop the storm, get mad at it, sulk about it, or hide from it. Be present, and watch.

5. Clean up as a teamThis is denitely THE most important part of mood- watching. Once that storm has passed and emotions have settled, its time to as-sess the damage. Your role here is to engage your loved one in the process of learning from this torrential downpour of emotion. And be clear about this -- BOTH of you can learn from it. Your intention is to discover ways to deal with similar storms more skillfully in the future.

6. Enjoy the sunA common mistake we make is to dwell on the mood storm long af-ter it has passed. Here comes the sun! Celebrate that, enjoy it, and dont get caught up in the memory of the dark clouds of yesterday.

7. Dont worry about the next storm until you see it comingSure, you want to keep your eye on the forecast, but you dont need to stay glued to the 24-hour weather channel. Theres bound to be another mood storm eventually, but until then, revel in the sunshine.

By sharpening your mood-watching skills, you will develop greater mindfulness and learn how to handle whatever comes your way. Your loved ones will benet from your loving attention, and you will pick up a few tips for the next time your own mood storm starts brewing.

When Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876, it was a revolution in communication. For the rst time, people could talk to each other over great distances almost as clearly as if they were in the same room. Nowadays, though, we increasingly use Bells invention for taking photographs, accessing the internet, or watching video clips, rather than talking. Over the last two decades a new means of spoken communication has emerged: the mobile phone.

The modern mobile phone is a more complex version of the two-way radio. Traditional two-way radio was a very limited means of communication. As soon as the users moved out of range of each others broadcast area, the signal was lost. In the 1940s, researchers began experimenting with the idea of using a number of radio masts located around the countryside to pick up signals from two-way radios. A caller would always be within range of one of the masts; when he moved too far away from one mast, the next mast would pick up the signal. (Scientists referred to each masts re-ception area as being a separate cell; this is why in many countries mobile phones are called cell phones.)

However, 1940s technology was still quite primitive, and the telephones were enormous boxes, which had to be transported by car.

The rst real mobile telephone call was made in 1973 by Dr Martin Cooper, the scientist who invented the modern mobile handset. As soon as his invention was complete, he tested it by calling a rival scientist to announce his success. Within a decade, mobile phones became available to the public. The streets of modern cities began to feature sharp-suited characters shouting into giant plastic bricks. In Britain the mobile phone quickly became synonymous with the yuppie, the new breed of young urban professionals who carried the expensive handsets as status symbols. Around this time many of us swore that we would never, ever own a mobile phone.

But in the mid-1990s, something happened. Cheaper handsets and

cheaper calling rates meant that, almost overnight, it seemed that everyone had a mobile phone. And the giant plastic bricks of the 1980s had evolved into smooth little objects that tted nicely into pockets and bags. In every pub and restaurant you could hear the bleep and buzz of mobiles ringing and registering messages, oc-casionally breaking out into primitive versions of the latest pop songs. Citiessuddenly had a new, postmodern birdsong.

Moreover, peoples timekeeping changed. Younger readers will be amazed to know that, not long ago, people made arrangements to meet at a certain place at a certain time. Once a time and place had been agreed, people met as agreed. Somewhere around the new millennium, this practice started to die out. Meeting times became approximate, subject to change at any moment under the new order of communication: the short message service (SMS) or text message.

Going to be late? Send a text message. It takes much less effort than arriving on time, and its much less awkward than explaining your lateness face to face. Its the perfect communication method for the busy modern lifestyle. Like e-mail before it, the text message has altered the way we write in English, bringing more abbreviations and a more lax approach to language construction. The160-character limit on text messages has led to a new, abbreviated version of English for fast and instantaneous communication. Traditional rules of grammar and spelling are much less important when youre sitting on the bus, hurriedly typing Will B 15min late CU @ the bar. Sorry! :-).

Mobile phones, once the preserve of the high-powered businessperson and the yuppie, are now a vital part of daily life for an enormous amount of people. From schoolchildren to pensioners, every section of society has found that its easier to stay in touch when youve got a mobile. Over the last few years mobiles have become more and more advanced. First we saw the introduction of built-in cameras, global positioning devices and internet

Simple ways tolove your liver

By | Vanessa Rodriguez

By | Vanessa Rodriguez

Most people struggle with over-burdened livers due to a toxic diet and lifestyle. This means their bod-ies are ineffective at digestion and fat breakdown, resulting in weight gain, feeling heavy, bloated, and sluggish. The livers role is there-fore crucial for efcient circulation, metabolism, and fat breakdown. There is no other organ like it.

Here are ve ways you can improve your liver health for weight loss sup-port:

1. Reduce or eliminate processed foods and alcohol.Pick up anything that comes in a box frozen meals, pizzas, micro-wave dinners, macaroni and cheese and look at the ingredients. Most of the things you cant pronounce are toxins that must be ltered out by your liver. The more foreign sub-stances you ingest, more your liver health is compromised.

Our liver was biologically designed to lter naturally occurring meta-bolic byproducts out of our blood, not all the amounts of alcohol and the chemicals and preservatives we are now eating through processed foods. These chemicals signicant-ly reduce liver health and cause it to be ineffective at its other functions.

2. Monitor meat and dairy intake.The digestion of meat and dairy are taxing on the liver when overcon-sumed. Eat them in smaller quan-tities to avoid overwhelming this important organ. Because the liver works like a lter, it can become clogged when we eat too much, too fast. The digestion of meat and dairy in particular produce byprod-ucts that the liver must lter and eliminate from our bodies. If we are

eating poor quality meats, or dairy from animals that have been fed antibiotics or hormones, the liver must also lter those foreign chemi-cals out of our bodies. If it is inef-fective and cannot keep up, we may become sick and gain weight.

TIP: Try replacing cows milk with almond milk and choose grass-fed products. Instead of meat, use leg-umes like black beans or chickpeas as well as root vegetables like car-rots and beets. Mushrooms are a great meat substitute since they can have a similar consistency and theyre both avorful and lling. In-stead of eating meals where meat is the main dish, make soups or stews or chili. With these dishes it is easy to cut back on some meat and throw in more vegetables instead.

Most liver problems are re-versible if discovered early


3. Manage stress.When we are under stress, our entire digestive system shuts down. This means our liver health is dras-tically reduced. Eating under stress means that the food is not being broken down, absorbed, or metabolized efciently. So, make sure you eat all your meals in a seated position and in a calm state of mind. Never eat on the run and try taking a couple of deep breaths before a meal, and chew slowly.

4. Avoid eating out.Fast food meals and even healthy restaurant foods are not only higher in calories, but full of additives and avorings that your liver must process out of your blood stream. Preparing food and eating at home is cheaper, healthier, and more fullling.

5. Do a gentle liver detox.The following liver cleanse is safe enough to use daily, and can easily be incorporated into your daily routine:

Mix one tablespoon of lemon or apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm or lukewarm water. Drink it 20 minutes before any meal. The vinegar will work similarly to the lemon. If you forget to take it, it is still useful during or after a meal, but it will have the greatest effect on your liver 20 minutes before you eat.

You can also begin incorporating apple cider vinegar into your diet. It is most commonly used as a salad dressing. It is very liver-friendly and healing no matter how you consume it.

BONUS TIPThe most liver friendly foods are dark, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale or swiss chard. Most of these have a bitter taste when raw, and are more commonly enjoyed steamed. Throw them into your everyday dishes for an added boost of nutrients and enjoy the benets of great liver health.

Tooth extraction and root canal treatment are the only alternative treatments in case of a tooth infection that has damaged the pulp causing a dental abscess. Many people believe that having a tooth extracted is a good alternative to having root canal treatment.A simple tooth extraction is less expensive, faster and more straight-forward procedure than a root canal treatment.

At a rst look, removing the tooth might seem as an attractive solution vs root canal treatment. But actually this solution might not be the easiest or least expensive treatment choice in the long run.

The following are some of the reasons why tooth extraction is not the best choice, when you consider root canal versus extraction:

When a tooth is missing its neighboring teeth tend to shift to the empty place. This can increase the risk of crooked teeth, bad bite and joint disorder affecting proper biting and chewing. Teeth that have shifted from their original position tend to become loose much easier and they are more susceptible to dental problems. In order to avoid these complications, replacing a tooth that has been extracted with an articial one may require a dental bridge or an implant.

Root canal therapy is more cost effective than the combination of tooth extraction and dental bridge or implant. These alternatives not only are more expensive than a root canal procedure but require more treatment time and additional procedures to adjacent teeth and supporting tissues.

Besides the cost, time effectiveness, and reduced complexity of root canal treatment, nothing is better than your natural teeth. And root canal treatment is the only way to save an infected tooth.

When tooth extraction is the only solution?The quick answer is when the restorability of the tooth is questionable.If the tooth has suffered extensive damage because of the tooth decay, there may not be enough tooth structure to support the restoration of the tooth. If the dentist conrms that there is enough tooth structure to restore the tooth, root canal treatment is always the best decision versus extraction.

Conclusion on root canal vs extraction If you have the choice, its always best to keep your original teeth. Endodontic treatment has a very high success rate, and treated teeth can be maintained for many years after the initial treatment. Even if a root canal fails, there are still treatment options with very good success rates.

Nowadays, root canal treatment is easier, and faster by using a rotary machine that can be done in a single visit.

Original EyewearVS.

Fake Eyewear

I met a friend the other day and she was happy about her new Gucci sunglasses. She bought these stylish fashion accessories costing several hundred dollars for just a few dollars. It did look like the real ones, but on close observation, I found it was a fake. Many unsuspecting shoppers are taken for a ride by street traders, small shop owners, etc. who sell replicas instead of the genuine designer accessories. The authentic costs so much and these replicas cost half their original price. But, doesn't this mean you can save a lot on money? Yes, you do, but at the price of your eye health. These rip offs are made of cheap glasses that can damage your vision to some extent.

Good Deal or Cheap Deal?If you buy designer sunglasses or even regular sunglasses, they are made up of special lenses. These lenses help protect the eye from harmful UV (UltraViolet) rays. However, the replicas and fake glasses are made of very cheap lenses that do more damage than good! They allow UV rays to hit your eyes as well as the poor lens quality puts more pressure on the pupils. Thus, in the end one develops vision problems. So, spotting fake sunglasses is very important if you wish to save your eyes from damage.

The following pointers are to be kept in mind, every time you are handed over a designer eye wear by a seller you are not condent about.

1. All in the PriceThe rst give away of a fake eye wear is its price tag. A Gucci, Prada, D&G, Chanel, etc. will cost a few hundred dollars. And even with a heavy discount, an original will still cost a couple of hundred dollars. Thus, when you are being sold a designer eye wear for just $20, it is bound to be a rip off. An authentic Gucci will obviously not be sold for a throw away price.

2. Label Me TrueThe next big indicator for fake eye wear is the logo and label. You will nd there is a slight misspelling of the logo or the generic label. This means 'D&G' becomes 'DG' or 'Chanel' becomes 'Channel'. Thus, make sure you know your brands well before you go shopping. Many times, even the text is not so clear.

Common Causes ofHair Loss

By | Tanya Jain

It is very natural for a person to loss 50 to 100 hairs each day under the bodys hair renewal process. But most of the people at least once in their lifetime suffer with heavy hair loss. There may be various reason behind this; like medication, chemotherapy, exposure to radiations and certain chemicals, nutritional and hormonal factors, thyroid disease, skin disease or stress, etc.

In most of the cases hair loss is temporary but in certain cases it may be permanent depending on the severity of disease. Some of the most common causes of hair loss are explained here.

HORMONAL

Childbirth

Hormones are stimulant to hair growth and causes hair loss problems. Hormones affect heavily our hair growth. These affect both male as well as female hair health.

Hair thinning is one of the hormonal problems and affects both men and women. Hair thinning in male is specic and follows a pattern from the front through to the crown. Hair thinning in female does not follow any specic pattern.

Hair thinning is caused by androgen DHT or Dihydrotesterone. Everyone has DHT but only some suffers with hair problem, are you wandering, why? This owes to the hair follicles, which have a greater number of androgen recep-tors for the DHT to attach with. Till date the most effective treatment for the problems of hair thinning is; anti androgens. Anti androgens are preventive drugs that prevent the creation of DHT. In future we may get genes therapy for hair thinning problems.

Many of the females experience hair loss after labor. In such a situation many of the hair enters the telogen or resting phase. Some of the females experiences hair loss within two to three months after giving childbirth.

Hair problem due to pregnancy is temporary and in many of the cases eradicate within time, say 1 to 6 months. This occurs because of diverse hormonal changes that take place within the body during pregnancy.


A good balanced diet rich in varied variety of nutrients is equally important to your hair health. The person who eats less of proteins or has irregular eating habits suffers with hair loss. Generally to save protein our body pushes growing hair into resting phase. If your hair can be pulled out by the root very easily, then this may be due to lack of a well balanced diet. This condition can be prevailed by eating a diet rich in proteins and other necessary nutrients.

If some person either may not have access to iron rich food or his / her body may not absorb enough of iron then this may cause hair problems. Women during menstrual period are more prone to be iron decient. Low iron in the body can be detected by laboratory test and can be corrected by taking a diet rich in iron and iron pills.

Hair loss due to some disease or illness is very common, but this type of hair loss is temporary and lost hair may grow again. Diseases like sever infection or u and high fever, thyroid disease etc may lead to hair loss.

Certain medications, cancer treatments, and chronic illnesses also cause hair loss. A person who receives surgery also faces hair loss problems.

However, hair loss problems of any sort are generally temporary and can be solved by taking good nutritious diet and professional help.

Birth control pills

Decient diet

Low serum iron

Disease Or Illness

The females who are genetically programmed with Androgenic Alopecia, if takes birth control pills at much younger age encounters hair loss. Andro-genic Alopecia is caused due to various hormonal changes.

The females who have history of hair loss in their family must consult doctor before taking any birth control pills. This type of hair loss is temporary and may stop in 1 to 6 months. But in some of the cases, it has been noticed that a female cannot regrow some of her hair that was lost due to Androgenic Alopecia.

Khartoum, the capital and major trading, nancial and political center of Sudan, is located on the western bank of the Blue Nile and forms a huge triangle, with its vertex at the conuence of the two Niles and the base bordering Gezira State about 30km south-eastward.The climate is mainly tropical. The city was founded in 1823 by Mehmet Ali and strengthened by walls and forts. From 1899 to 1956 Khartoum was capital of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, and remained capital when Sudan became independent.

Khartoum, together with the two other cities, Khartoum North (commonly known as Bahri) and Omdurman forms what is called the Tripartite Capital.The city lies near the rich, irrigated cotton-growing Gezira area to the south and much of its trade is based on Nile river trafc.

Khartoum is a cosmopolitan city with a good variety of historic attractions, museums, free annual events, and tourist services.
