‘The Best In The World’The Lagilagi Housing Project has beendescribed as the best of its kind in theworld.

The plaudits came from Mr ReminStoquart, a representative of the UnitedNations (UN) Habitat, when he visitedhe project on a recent visit to Fiji.

The People’s Community Network co-rdinator, Father Kevin Barr, quoted Mr

Stoquart who said, “You have one of theest, if not the best housing project forhe poor I have seen in the whole worldnd I am not just saying that.”

Father Barr said that these plaudits werenot only for PCN, Fortech Construction,heir architects and their consultantsut also for the Government that hadartnered with them and supported theroject from the beginning.Without Government’s assistance weould not have gone ahead. And weook forward to further support so thathe projects can continue for the poorerection of Fiji’s population,” he said.

According to Father Barr, from thenception of the project in 2006, Mr

Bainimarama had pushed for subsidisedhousing for poorer Fijians.Then Minister for Finance, MahendraChaudhry also insisted on quality

housing that would last, not pulled downfter a year.

The Prime Minister said one of the 44units had been converted into a WellnessCentre, at the request of former Minister

of Health Dr Neil Sharma. The Centrewould be administered by the Ministryof Health.Father Barr said that as part of phase two,that had started, another 76 housing units,a community hall/of ce, a kindergartenand homework centre, a small market,a Police Post, sports facilities and sometaxi stands would be built.All these, he said, would depend on the

Utah Becomes The Only US State To AllowExecution By Firing Squad

UTAH’S governor has signed a law that makes his state the only one to allow ring squads for carrying out executions ifno lethal injection drugs are available.

Governor Gary Herbert signed the billn Monday. He has said he found the

method “a little bit gruesome,” but thatt gives the state a fallback execution

method.t is understood the law will reinstate the

use of ring squads more than a decadefter the state abandoned the practice.

Utah banned death by ring squad in004, though death row inmates still hadhe option to select ring squad for theirxecutions before the law changed.

Currently, death row inmates in Utah can bexecuted by way of a ring squad, but they

must choose the option themselves. Thenew law allows for the state to use a ringquad regardless of the prisoner’s choice.

On January 17, 1977, Utah became therst state to execute a prisoner after the

moratorium ended on the method. GaryGilmore was executed by a ring squad,amously uttering the words “just do it”now used by Nike as a slogan) as hisast words.

The last prisoner to be shot to deathn was Ronnie Lee Gardner, who was

xecuted by ve police of cers with30-calibre ri e in 2010 for killing aartender and a lawyer.

The bill was passed after an 18-10 votey the Senate two weeks ago as statestruggle to access lethal injection drugsmid a nationwide shortage.

The measure’s approval illustrates therustration of some states over bungledxecutions and shortages of lethal-njection drugs.

Utah is one of several states seekingnew forms of capital punishment after aotched Oklahoma lethal injection last

year.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. PaulRay of Clear eld, touted the ring squadas a more humane form of execution.He also admitted there was no shortageof volunteers when it came to ringexecutions.“We’ve always had a lot more volunteersthan actually had spots,” he said.Opponents say its barbaric and a cruelholdover from the state’s Wild Westdays, and will make Utah look bad.The Washington DC based DeathPenalty Information Centre, whichopposes capital punishment, says a

ring squad is not a foolproof executionmethod because the inmate could moveor shooters could miss the heart, causinga slower, more painful death.

The law comes as Australia continueto negotiate with Indonesia about thfate of Bali Nine death-row prisonerAndrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.Since Indonesian authorities announcedthe duo would be transferred to prisonisland Nusakambangan the Australiagovernment’s pleas and of ciarepresentation has intensi ed, witForeign Minister Julie Bishop becomingemotional about the dire situation.Ms Bishop said the last time she had mewith the families of the pair, Sukumaran’smother “hugged me so tightly that could hardly breathe”.

“And she just begged me to do all could to save the life of her son whosown life had been rehabilitated in suchan extraordinary way,” Ms Bishop toldthe Today show.“No person could fail to be touched bythe anguish of the families.”Ms Bishop said she was not giving up onthe two men.“We won’t give up hope. While they arestill alive, there is hope,” she said.While ringleaders Chan and Sukumaranawait their executions, plans are nowunder way for four Indonesian prisoner

— who are at their end of their sentencefor child sex offences, to move intSukumaran’s old cell.Meanwhile, the pair continues to ght fotheir lives via any legal avenue possible

Mr Kerr admitted to the tribunal that hewas going through “a tough time” andhat he had occasionally fallen asleep

naked in a chair in the backyard, but saidhe had no recollection of showing upnaked in the front yard.It was a while ago and it was allretty weird stuff,” Mr Kerr said of hisehaviour.I’ve certainly thought about it, and it

was a bit weird.”

naked in my son’s bed with a kitchenppliance ... there was a considerablemount of sweat around you, it lookedike you had masturbated ... was that thease?” Ms Smyth asked Mr Kerr.

Mr Kerr denied the allegation.Mr Kerr told the hearing he was “just aouchy-feely guy”.

Mr Kerr now lives in Thailand andreturned to Darwin to attend the hearing.Ms Smyth is arguing that Treasury failedto deal with her harassment complaintappropriately, effectively forcing her toresign.Her case, before NT anti-discriminationcommissioner Sally Sivers, has beenthe subject of a series of appeals in theMagistrates and Supreme Courts, whichhave allowed Ms Smyth to bring thedecade-old events before the commission.Mr Kerr continued to work at Treasury,where Ms Smyth alleges he was a “protectedemployee” despite repeated claims of

representing herself, had to yell acrosthe courtroom to elicit a response fromMr Kerr.Mr Kerr also claimed he could noremember many of the events in questionsaying they happened in the past, at time when he was drinking heavily.Ms Smyth claims she was victimise

by the Treasury, and says they failed to properly consider the claim.Among evidence presented was farewell card presented to Ms Smytwhen she left Treasury.Among other messages one publiservant, Marie Tonks, wrote: “Goodbye

Black Tea Can Help PreventDiabetes

A new research has found that drinkinga cup of black tea can prevent type-2diabetes in humans.An American research conducted atFramingham State University explainedthat black tea restrains the body fromabsorbing glucose sugars, excess ofwhich causes type-2 diabetes, theIndependent reported.

High Vitamin D Levels May Lead ToStrokeToo high levels of vitamin D in the blood

may increase your risk of dying from atroke, warns a study.n terms of public health, a lack of

vitamin D has long been a focal pointnd several studies have shown that tooow levels can prove detrimental to our

health.The new study, therefore, suggestshat the level of vitamin D in ourlood should neither be too high noro low.If your vitamin D level is below 50 orver 100 nanomol per litre, there is agreater connection to deaths,' said PeterSchwarz, professor at the University ofCopenhagen in Denmark.The researchers studied the level ofvitamin D in 247,574 people andnalysed their mortality rate over aeven-year period. In that time 16,645atients had died.

We have looked at what caused thedeath of patients, and when numbersre above 100, it appears that there is an

ncreased risk of dying from a stroke orcoronary,' Schwarz added.

'In other words, levels of vitamin Dshould not be too low, but neithershould they be too high. Levels should

be somewhere in between 50 and100 nanomol per litre, and our studyindicates that 70 is the most preferable

level,' Schwartz explained.That having too much vitamin D in ou

blood can be bad for our health has neve been proven before, and it may havgreat in uence on our future intake onutritional supplements.

Symptoms Of Kidney FailureKidney failure is a very serious healthondition, and one that can bringn subtle symptoms that often go

undiagnosed. Typically, most patients

hat suffer from kidney failure haveived with kidney disease for quite someime before it gets to this point. Someucky ones can also live with kidney

disease their whole lives, but it neverdevelop into kidney failure. The mostmportant thing to do with a kidneyllness is to become well educated about

your ailment. You desperately need yourkidneys to be healthy and working just

ne in order to live a long life. Simplediagnostics such as blood work or urineamples can quickly notify your medicalrovider if kidney disease is present or

not. Pretty simple trip to the local familydoctor to tell if you have somethinghat could seriously debilitate your life,o without hesitation go consult with

your physician if you have any of theymptoms recognized as kidney failure.. Changes in Urination

The kidneys work hard for you all dayong producing urine; when they aren’t

working up to par they instantly starthowing signs of trouble through your

urine. You may start going more often,your urine can be various colors such

s very dark orange to almost clear.You can also begin to notice your urineubbling, foaming, or almost looking asf it’s boiling. Blood in the urine is alsotelltale sign that kidneys are in trouble.. Swollen Limbs

When your kidneys stop workingnormally, they store that extra uidnywhere they can nd a space at withinhe body. This means the patient may

have legs that are swollen, arms, hands,r their face. Most patients notice theirnkles swelling rst, or a puffy face outf nowhere.. Exhaustion

Your kidneys are hard workers, they notnly make urine all day long, but theylso produce EPO which is a hormonehat’s required to create red blood cells.

This results in a case of anemia, whichhankfully can be easily treated by

your doctor. Many kidney patients feelhey are tired or fatigued from doingbsolutely nothing.. Itchy Skin

The kidneys also take waste particlesut of the blood, so when yours are not

up to par you’ll end up with backed upwaste traveling through your blood.

This generally begins to show signs ofoccurrence through causing dry, itchyskin patches on the body. Many patientsfeel the itching is so severe they were

distracted by it most of the day prior togetting their kidney diagnosis.5. Foul Taste in MouthWhen the patient suffers from kidneyissues, it also suffers from uremia;which is when the waste particlesdevelop excessive buildup inside andyou gain a metallic taste in the mouth inreturn. Some report they no longer couldconsume some of their favorite foods,such as meats, or breads due to the taste.6. Vomiting

No one ever enjoys vomiting, and sadlyit is a very popular side effect of kidneyfailure. Patients experience the itchy skinrst, then the constant nausea, followed

by a few days of vomiting. This is whymany assume they have the u or evenfood poisoning and don’t seek treatmentfor their kidney issue early enough to

prevent it from becoming severe.7. Inability to BreatheWhen you begin to have trouble

breathing, you know something inthe body isn’t sitting well. Catchingyour breath, paying more attention towhen you inhale and exhale, or having

dif culty breathing while your activitylevel is low are all symptomatic ofkidney failure. The reason for this is dueto uid traveling to the lungs, and the

body being deprived of red blood cellsfrom the lack of regular kidney function.8. Memory IssuesAs you get older, you tend to naturally

become more forgetful; that isn’t thkind of memory loss kidney illnescauses. This version is more of a lacin concentration initially, followed by

dizzy spells, resulting in memory issuesAll developing in lieu of an oxygede ciency caused by the kidney inducedanemia.9. Cold or ChillyOften women are usually colder thamen, but this type of cold sensation icaused even when it’s in the dead of sweltering summer. It is a sign of anemiataking its course, and causing youtemperature to be challenging to sustainIncreasing your iron intake, drinkinmore water, and of course getting youkidneys evaluated will all aide in curingthis symptom.10. Flank PainsMany experience what is known a

ank pain, which is basically sorenesnear the top of the abdomen, sideof the midsection, or middle portioof the back. This location coincidewith where the kidneys are kept, ancan be an indication of severe kidneydisorder. Most patients experience ank

pains after their diagnosis or once theicondition has gone from bad to worse.Kidneys are not something to let linge

on bothering you; if you feel painor soreness at any point that doesnsubside in a day or two, consult wityour medical professional. Additionallyif your urinary patterns have drasticallychanged, or if you notice blood in youurine - make an appointment to bevaluated just to be on the safe side.

24 Parenting

Saying "No" To EverythingYour toddler's constant use of the word "no" stems from a strong desire to be independent. Here's how to cope.

Your toddler's desire for independencean mean she displays a lot of

unreasonable negative behaviour that'suzzling or, at worst, irritating.

Common examples include a refusal toet you strap her into her buggy, turning

down food she enjoyed last week andnsisting you carry out an impossible task,uch as nding a favourite toy that's beeneft at home when you're on a journey.

This dif cult phase may not last long inome toddlers, but for others it can gon for many months or even continuento later childhood. This can be hard forome parents to handle.t helps to realise this behaviour is a

normal developmental stage - toddlersre just trying their new-found will as

hey make a bid for independence.Positive stepsYou'll keep your sanity if you makean effort at the beginning of thetoddler stage to 'toddler-proof' yourhome - this cuts down on the needfor unnecessary battles.It helps if she doesn't get too tiredor hungry - regular mealtimes and

bedtimes make a big difference.Make a determined effort to keepyour use of the word "no" to aminimum - as far as possible, makeyour requests positive, "keep your

bike on the pavement" rather than"don't go on the road".If you have to refuse a request, use phrases such as "great idea, we'll play that later" instead of "no, I'mtoo busy to play with you".If your toddler is strong-willed andoften challenges you, do your best to

be patient and remember this stagewon't last forever.Toddlers need to try out things forthemselves as often as possible, sotry not to be too controlling - for

example, it can help to let your childclimb into her car seat instead of being placed there by you.When it has to be "no", for safetyreasons perhaps, make it calm and

rm - show your toddler you meanit, but don't get angry.For younger toddlers you may haveto add actions to your words - lifther away from the video machine or

plug, and offer a toy to take her mindoff it.Use clever tactics - "I bet I can raceyou to get your shoes on" oftenworks better than "get your shoes on

now".• Offer your toddler choices, within

limits, to keep battles to a minimum,so that "no" is a less likely response- "do you want to wear your red skirtor black trousers?" or "would youlike an apple or an orange?", forexample.

• Use praise when she's goodto encourage her to repeat the

behaviour.• One of the most useful techniques

with toddlers is distraction, and youshould use it for as long as it works -

"I think I hear Daddy's car arriving"or suddenly starting a song oftenmakes toddlers forget they wereabout to start a battle.

• Try not to laugh at your toddler whenshe says "no" - it can be tempting

when it's amusing, but this is likelto upset a small child who takes heindependence seriously.

• When you can, try to explain whsome behaviour isn't acceptabl- as your child gets older, she'understand more about this, but can start very soon - "touching thamight break it" or "that's hot anyou'll burn".

• Use delaying words - "later perhapsor "not until after lunch".

• Offer alternatives - "you can't writon the wall, but you can write on thi

piece of paper".• Lighten up - does whatever it ithey're doing really matter?

• Keep a positive attitude - look fogood behaviour and praise youchild

Can Chronic Ear Infections CauseLong-Term Hearing Loss?

My daughter has had one ear infection after another. When she gets aninfection, she seems to have trouble hearing, but with medicine it always getsbetter. Still, I’m worried that these infections could lead to permanent hearing

loss somewhere down the line. Could this happen? - YasmineEar infections are common in childhood.As with your daughter, some kids dohave temporary hearing loss due to theaccumulation of uid in the middle ear,

but it usually goes away with treatment.It's very rare, however, for kids todevelop permanent hearing loss, evenwhen they've had several ear infections.A child with frequent or chronic earinfections is at risk for permanent hearingloss only when damage has been doneto the eardrum, the bones of the ear, orthe hearing nerve. Since your daughter's

hearing appears to return to normaafter treatment for an ear infectionshe's probably not at risk for permanenhearing loss. But if you're concernedtalk to your doctor about scheduling ahearing exam.If your daughter's ear infections continueto be a problem, the doctor might refeher to an otolaryngologist (ear, nose, andthroat doctor), who may suggest ear tube

placement to help reduce the incidencof ear infections and limit the potentia

problems they can cause to her hearing.
