P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

P A R A D I S E V I L L A G E N E W S

I never really liked the terminology Old Farts but

this makes me feel better about it And if you aint

one I bet ya you know one I got this from an Old

Fart friend of mine Im passing this on as I did not

want to be the only old fart receiving it Actually its

not a bad thing to be called as you will see

Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events during

the playing of the National Anthem Old Farts remove

their caps and stand at attention and sing without

embarrassment They know the words and believe in

them

Old Farts remember World War II Pearl Harbor Guadalcanal Normandy and Hitler

They remember The Atomic Age The Korean War The Cold War The Jet Age and The Moon

Landing They remember the 50 plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005 not to

mention Vietnam

If you bump into an Old Fart on the pavement they will apologize If you pass an Old Fart on the

street he will nod or tip his cap to a lady Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women

Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always when walking make certain the lady is

on the inside for protection

Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and children and they dont

like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies

Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity They seldom brag unless its about their

children or grandchildren

Its the Old Farts who know our great country is protected not by politicians but by the young

men and women in the military serving their country

This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic sense of responsibility

pride in their country and decent values

We need them now more than ever Thank God for Old Farts

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

April 2015

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

looking forward to partaking While in the city he was very actively involved in different volunteer

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

tension improves circulation and helps promote

the natural function of the related areas of the body

retired for 9 years already and previously worked for Winnipeg Transit as a service

controller Went over all the activities that are offered here and in the surrounding area and hes

looking forward to partaking While in the city he was very actively involved in different volunteer

provincially He was also President of the Glenwood Community Club His favorite pastimes are

canoeing cycling and camping He has a daughter living in Edmonton and 2 sons in Winnipeg

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Paradise Village He finds it very friendly and is happy he chose to live here Peter has been

retired for 9 years already and previously worked for Winnipeg Transit as a service

controller Went over all the activities that are offered here and in the surrounding area and hes

looking forward to partaking While in the city he was very actively involved in different volunteer

provincially He was also President of the Glenwood Community Club His favorite pastimes are

canoeing cycling and camping He has a daughter living in Edmonton and 2 sons in Winnipeg

Peter we hope to see you at our meetings the social functions pot luck dinners and other

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Many people have misconceptions about Standard Poodles -- that they look and act like sissy dogs That is one of the big-gest myths in dogdom

First ignore the silly show-ring clips Standard Poodles can be clipped into shorthaired normal-looking dogs who are a snap to brush Poodles also have the advantage of being the lightest-shedding most hypoallergenic of all coated breeds

Second Standard Poodles are elegant energetic athletes who move with a light springy gait They excel in advanced obedience competition where retrieving and jumping skills are required and in agility (obstacle course) competitions where they fly over and under and through the obstacles with a strength and grace that is breathtaking to watch

Even better a good Standard Poodle is one of the smartest and most trainable of all breeds He is a thinking dog who pays rapt attention to his owner learns quickly and responds eagerly to positive training methods Indeed Standard Poodles NEED some sort of mental stimulation in order to be happy -- advanced obedience classes (not just basic) agility classes or challenging games such as hide n seek or fetching a variety of named toys This intelligent breed cannot simply sit in the backyard and be ignored

Most Standard Poodles make great watchdogs and some even have mild (and sensible) protective instincts but this is not an aggressive breed Their attitude toward people varies from friendly to politely reserved Early socialization is important to avoid excessive watchfulness or timidity

With other dogs and cats Standard Poodles are usually peaceful and accepting However this breed is by no means perfect or low-maintenance Besides the regular clipping (every 4-6 weeks) they need a good deal of daily exercise Their energy level varies from moderate to high and they require brisk walks jogging swimming andor vigorous play sessions to keep them fit satisfied and calm indoors

Standard Poodles also need a lot of daily companionship They suffer from loneliness and separation anxiety if left alone too much

Most Standard Poodles are soft and sensitive dogs sometimes hypersensi-tive If you touch them unexpectedly or startle them with a sudden loud sound they tend to flinch The most sensitive individuals are not good with small children

Similarly Standard Poodles can get emotionally upset if theres too much activity or conflict or roughhousing in your household -- they prefer peace and harmony

You do have to watch your lines some Standard P o o d l e l i n e s a r e high-strung nervous even neurotic

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

April 2015

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

provide a nice home for my daughter to live in as she is

accustomed tordquo ldquoI will studyrdquo The young man replies ldquoAnd

God will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd how will you buy her a beautiful

engagement ring such as she deservesrdquo Asks the father ldquoI

will concentrate on my studiesrdquo the young man replies ldquoGod

will provide for usrdquo ldquoAnd childrenrdquo Asks the father ldquoHow will

you support childrenrdquo ldquoDonrsquot worry sir God will providerdquo

replies the fianceacutee The conversation proceeds like this and

each time the father questions the young idealist he insists

that God will provide Later the mother asks ldquoHow did it go

Honeyrdquo The father answers ldquoHe has no job and no plans

but the good news is he thinks I am Godrdquo

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Attending a wedding for the first time

a little girl whispered to her mother

Why is the bride dressed in white

The mother replied

Because white is the colour of happiness

and today is the happiest day of her life

The child thought about this

for a moment then said

So why is the groom wearing black

A young woman brings home her fianceacutee to meet her parents After dinner her mother tells her

father to find out more about the young man The father invites the fianceacutee to his study for a drink ldquoSo

what are your plansrdquo The father asks the young man ldquoIrsquom a Torah Scholarrdquo he replies ldquoA Torah Scholar

hmmmrdquo The father says ldquoAdmirable but what will you do to

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Computer Joys By Jim LrsquoEsperance

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

NEVER GIVE ANYONE

YOUR PASSWORD

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

In early December I received a phone call from a friend who spends his

winters in Florida He asked how he could help I did not know what he

was talking about It was around 6 AM when he woke me up

After I hung up the phone it rang as soon as I went back to bed This

time it was a friend in Arizona He also asked what I wanted when I

emailed him I told him I had not contacted him

It turned out someone had hacked my computer and was sending emails to all my contacts

The third call was from a friend in New Zealand who had bought one of my cars I tried to assure him I was ok

and did not need his help The first email sent out said I needed a favour from my friends The second one

sent to my contacts said I was robbed while I was visiting the Philippines I was assaulted my money and

passport were stolen and I needed money to get home

I had so many calls I was going crazy I was so happy my wife was home to help with this disaster Suddenly

my wife Linda said I have had enough of this (I am leaving for Wal-Mart - have fun)

The only reason I have a computer is my son-in-law gave it to me for free I have restored several cars and sold

them on e-bay so it was handy The computer helps me buy and sell cars and locate parts

I have owned it for 10 years but I always need help from neighbours to fend off the many viruses etc

Between phone calls I tried to contact Yahoo my server After sitting holding the phone for 2 hours I finally

spoke to a Yahoo representative He said to contact all my contacts and to change my password Easier said

than done

All my contacts had been removed from my account and deleted by the person who scammed my account How

do I contact them I could not get online to change my password Late in the afternoon I managed to change

the password with help from a friend and Yahoo I still cannot contact my contacts to let them know my new

identity So they can open my emails without a virus

After speaking to this guy several times he said it would cost me some money but he could not tell me how

much He needed my new password to repair my computer problems

It turned out he was the original scammer

It took another week to recover all my contacts and put them back on my computer

It turned out I received an email from Yahoo saying I

must change my password for security reasons because

someone was trying to give me a virus and scam my

account It turned out it was not Yahoo but the

scammer and I fell for it

LESSON LEARNED

22

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

April 2015 The

Dubai Tower The projects completion coincided

with the global financial crisis and

with vast overbuilding in the

country led to high vacancies and

foreclosures With Dubai mired in

debt from its huge ambitions the

government was forced to seek

multibillion dollar bailouts from its

oil rich neighbour Abi Dhabi

Subsequently in a surprise move

at its opening ceremony the tower

was renamed Burj Khalifa said to

honour Khalifa bin Zayed Al

Nahyan the UAE President for his

crucial support

Tallest Building in the World at

its opening on January 4 2010 It

is taller than any other man-made

structure ever built

In 2009 I was fortunate to visit Dubai and several of the other United Arab Emirates while sailing the

cruise ship Costa Victoria Dubai at that time showed no visible signs of the financial crisis but behind

the scenes they were suffering However extravagant opulence was evident everywhere The first sight

was a view of the Palm from the air The Palm is a huge man-made island shaped like a palm leaf

Sporting hundreds of multi-story condos an elevated highway and the fabulous Atlantis Hotel at the top

end This hotel is accessed via an underwater tunnel at the very tip of the Palm and includes a multi-story

aquarium in its center with hundreds of local fish and water plants

After an overnight in our hotel (not the Atlantis) our group was treated with a tour of this magnificent city

It was hard to believe that in the `60`s it was nothing but desert a mere fishing village Then oil was

discovered and it all changed with a population of over 600 growth Today the population is over

2 million (2013) with many Pakistanis Arabs and Bangladeshis working in the city

The Atlantis Hotel located on the top of the Palm The Palm

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Watch for DUBAI Part 2 next issue

Bargaining for Spices in a Souk

The Souks

Souks are markets and they are varied in nature

some being specific to its merchandise One in

particular named the Gold Souk offered nothing

but gold in all shapes and forms jewellery being

the major feature All gold was mainly 24 carat so

pieces were impressive and tempting The other

markets sold everything from spices clothing

shoes furniture live chickens and honey etc

Vendors would pester you down the aisles trying

their best to make a sale All was barter system

and the trick was to offer about a third you think

you wanted to pay and work from there

I purchased some rare Saffron Spice which

actually came from Iran A small packet was

$500 US which was a real deal I still keep

some in my freezer

The Burj al Arab Hotel

The Burj Al Arab was constructed on a man made

island just off shore It has 60 floors and is 322 M

or 1056 ft high It stands alone in the sea looking

for all the world like a massive sailboat (only the

J Merriot of Dubai is taller at 72 stories and 355

m or 1165 ft) The rooms of the Burj are the

ultimate in luxury and a typical one night stay

would start at about $3500 Cdn There are even

some rooms that are underwater Unfortunately

only hotel guests are allowed to enter the hotel

but tours are sometimes available Shieks and

their entourage are often seen entering the

winding driveway being driven in their Porsches

or Lamborghinis This hotel is also popular with

Chinese visitors too There is a Helipad to

accommodate those arriving by helicopter

equipped with a tennis court Tiger Woods once

hit a golf ball from it

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

April 2015

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

Parkinsonrsquos Disease

Parkinsons disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects your movement It develops gradually sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinsons disease the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement In the early stages of Parkinsons disease your face may show little or no expression or your arms may not swing when you walk Your speech may become soft or slurred Parkinsons disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses over time Although Parkinsons disease cant be cured medications may markedly improve your symptoms In occasional cases your doctor may suggest surgery to regulate certain regions of your brain and improve your symptoms Parkinsons disease symptoms and signs may vary from person to person Early signs may be mild and may go unnoticed Symptoms often begin on one side of your body and usually remain worse on that side even after symptoms begin to affect both sides

Parkinsons Signs and Symptoms may Include

Tremor - Your tremor or shaking usually begins in a limb often your hand or fingers You may notice a back-and-

forth rubbing of your thumb and forefinger known as a pill-rolling tremor One characteristic of Parkinsons disease is a tremor of your hand when it is relaxed (at rest)

Slowed movement (bradykinesia) - Over time Parkinsons disease may reduce your ability to move and slow

your movement making simple tasks difficult and time-consuming Your steps may become shorter when you walk or you may find it difficult to get out of a chair Also you may drag your feet as you try to walk making it difficult to move

Rigid muscles - Muscle stiffness may occur in any part of your body The stiff muscles can limit your range of

motion and cause you pain

Impaired posture and balance - Your posture may become stooped or you may have balance problems as a

result of Parkinsons disease

Loss of automatic movements - In Parkinsons disease you may have a decreased ability to perform

unconscious movements including blinking smiling or swinging your arms when you walk You may no longer gesture when talking

Speech changes - You may have speech problems as a result of Parkinsons disease You may speak softly

quickly slur or hesitate before talking Your speech may be more of a monotone rather than with the usual inflections A speech-language pathologist may help improve your speech problems

Writing changes - Writing may appear small and become difficult

Medications may greatly reduce many of these symptoms These medications increase or substitute for dopamine a specific signaling chemical (neurotransmitter) in your brain People with Parkinsons disease have low brain dopamine concentrations

When to see a doctor

See your doctor if you have any of the symptoms associated with Parkinsons disease mdash not only to diagnose your condition but also to rule out other causes for your symptoms

A reminder that we offer free delivery of prescriptions and pharmacy supplies to Paradise Village

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

April 2015

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

When is the last time you got up in the morning feeling energized and

refreshed without the use of coffee or other stimulants

Is conventional medicine and common nutritional practices

not working for you

Would you be interested in either of the following presentations

1) A presentation of natural health products carried by a local AIM Living Well Health coach

2) A Maximized Living presentation by one of their local doctors

Maximized Living is a revolutionary and progressive leader in health and wellness Its founding

doctors make up the Wellness Advisory Council for several of the Olympic governing

bodies North Americans spend twice as much per capita on health care yet they are twice

as sick with chronic diseases like heart disease diabetes prostate cancer breast cancer and

obesity What these conditions have in common is that they are largely preventable and even

reversible by changes in lifestyle and bodily function

Dates and times to be determined Anyone interested or for more information

please call Ingrid at 422-9118

An atheist was walking through the woods

ldquoWhat majestic trees What powerful rivers What beautiful animalsrdquo He said to himself

As he was walking alongside the river he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him He

turned to look He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charge towards him He ran as fast as he

could up the path He looked over his shoulder amp saw that the bear was closing in on

himhellip

He looked over his shoulder again and the bear was even closer

He tripped and fell on the ground He rolled over to pick himself up but saw that the bear

was right on top of him reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to

strike himhellip At that instant the Atheist cried out ldquoOh my Godrdquo

Time stopped The bear froze The forest was silent

As a bright light shone upon the man a voice came out of the sky ldquoYou deny my

existence for all these years teach others I donrsquot exist and even credit creation to cosmic

accidentrdquo

ldquoDo you expect me to help you out of this predicament Am I to count you as a believerrdquo

The atheist looked directly into the light ldquoIt would be hypocritical of me to suddenly ask

you to treat me as a Christian now but perhaps you could make the BEAR a Christianrdquo

ldquoVery wellrdquo said the voice

The light went out The sounds of the forest resumed And the bear dropped his right

paw brought both paws together bowed his head and spoke

ldquoLord bless this food which I am about to receive from Thy bounty

through Christ our Lord Amenrdquo

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the center of the chest

which radiates upwards toward the throat It is caused by acid

reflux and occurs in half of the adult population in North

America It generally is resolved by taking over the counter

medication such as Tums or Rolaids If heartburn occurs more

than twice a week and disrupts daily activities or awakens you

at night you may have GERD

With chronic GERD the acid may cause injury in the lining of

the esophagus This can include ulceration bleeding and

scarring of the esophagus which can result in difficulty in

swallowing A very small number of people with long-standing

GERD are at risk of developing a pre-cancerous disease called

Barretts esophagus Chronic heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD but there are numerous less common

symptoms such as belching the feeling that food is stuck in your throat sore throat erosion of the enamel on your

teeth and bad breath Most people with GERD can control the reflux with lifestyle changes and medication

Diet and Lifestyle Changes

Gravity plays an important role in controlling reflux Maintain an upright position after eating until the meal is

digested Depending on the size of the meal this can take up to 3 hours During this time acid production is at its

peak Avoid large meals late in the day If reflux occurs at night consider using risers to elevate the head of the bed or

use a triangular wedge to keep the esophagus higher than your stomach Foods that trigger acid reflux differ person to

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you

person Some common triggers are fats onions chocolate alcohol colas and citrus or tomato juices

Medications

While antacids provide temporary relief there are prescription medications that can reduce or limit the production of

acid in the stomach H2 blockers eliminate symptoms and allow the esophagus to heal in approximately 50 of

patients

Proton Pump inhibitors limit acid production allowing resolution of symptoms and healing of the esophagus in 80-90

of patients While there are H2 blockers and Proton Pump inhibitors available without prescription it would be

prudent to consult your physician for what is best suited to your needs Even if symptoms are controlled with

medication the underlying disease remains present It is possible that a person may need to take medication for the

rest of their life to manage GERD Long after use of medication-whether prescription or non-prescription should be

under the direction and supervision of a doctor

Surgery is also an option when medication fails to control symptoms Several tests are necessary to determine if a

person is a good candidate for surgery Anti-reflux surgery performed by an experienced surgeon on an appropriately

selected patient is an effective option Recovery from this surgery can be prolonged with dietary restrictions

including liquid and or pureed foods over a 2-8 weeks period with a gradual advancement to solid food

GERD is the most common digestive disorder

for which patients seek medical care If you suffer

with this problem see your doctor for treatment

that is appropriate for you
