• To move forward in life.
• To feel fresh, especially if you are not a morning person, do this Mudra.
• If you are stuck up in a traffic.
• After 8th month of pregnancy is over, do this Mudra. Movement of the child will be smooth. Natural movement of foetus will happen and there will be an easy delivery.

Beat the Traffic – a Case History

Tom is not a morning person. He works for a software company. Timings are flexible. So he can afford to go late to office.

Due to some work pressure, though suddenly he had to go early to office. This he found it very difficult to do, even after setting up an alarm.

So after waking up, and until he got up from bed, he started doing Movement Mudra or otherwise called as a Kubera Mudra. After a couple of weeks, he was able to get up early without an alarm.

Unfortunately, the morning hour’s traffic was too much for him to handle. He started doing this Mudra, whenever he had to wait for the signal or when the traffic stops. Surprisingly he found that he could beat the traffic somehow.

Within a couple of months, he was asked to vacate his house. He found a house, which was closer to his office. He thinks there is a connection between this change and the movement Mudra, as he started reaching his office early without any effort whatsoever.

DIY abortions on Thai TV

I don’t subscribe to the idea that all censorship is bad. As much as I appreciate freedom of speech and expression in the media and arts, I do believe in sensible censorship of the most extreme opinions and/or images. For example, I think it’s quite right that distributing material which incites hatred is a crime in the UK, and that the USA’s Freedom of Speech law, which allows for the same to go unpunished, is a little lax.

But if censorship is to be enforced, it has to be done with common sense, and it must also treat the public with a modicum of respect for its intelligence. Consequently, I think sweeping bans on certain major websites (such as in China), or on publicly expressing certain opinions about a very important part of Thai life and culture (which, for obvious reasons, I can’t discuss here), do more harm than good.

But before I get into any deeper political comment, it was actually a daft juxtaposition in a schlocky Thai horror movie that got me thinking about censorship. It was Long Kong 2, or Art of the Devil 2 in English, which was shown on the cable channel True Film Asia. I only watched a segment of the movie, which was evidently about black magic. What I saw – unedited – was a pregnant woman strapped down on a bed and subjected to the electrocution of her genitals with a cattle prod, followed by a forced abortion by repeatedly thumping her in the torso. The foetus was then crudely yanked out of her, slopped into a bowl and then dumped outside. Nice.

Now, I’m not easily shocked. I’ve seen plenty of gory movies. The scene, while obviously disgusting, didn’t really bother me. But what did get a reaction from me – that of incredulous laughter – was the follow-up scene of one of the bad guys relaxing after the crude abortion ritual by smoking a cigarette – and it was this that got censored! A mosaic blurred out the offending object – the cigarette – whenever the guy lifted it to his mouth (although it was fine to show it being carried in his hand – only actual cig-to-mouth contact was deemed offensive).

Electrocution of vaginas and bloody foetuses in a bowl? Not a problem! But god forbid any impressionable people see the despicable act of smoking a cigarette on TV at 11pm on a Friday night.

It’s not unusual to see mosaicing in Thai movies on TV. It is also used to cover up guns (similarly, it’s fine to see a gaping head wound, so long as you don’t show the weapon that caused it!). But what is curious is that the same censorship is not applied to foreign movies. So Hollywood’s finest are free to tote guns and smoke cigs on Thai screens, but local stars are not.

I’d love to hear the rationale – are Thai people more susceptible to influence when seeing one of their own smoking than they would be when watching a farang? If so, then don’t the powers that be consider that occult practices and home abortions might be slightly more dangerous than smoking? Certainly if I had a child or teenager, I know which images I’d be more worried about them seeing.

Then again, this is a country where prostitution is tolerated – promoted, even, in some places – yet pornography is banned, so perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised. Just don’t mention the ********.

En Août dernier, la chanteuse Québécoise avait terminé ses concerts à Las Vegas et était ravie d’annoncer à la presse qu’elle attendait la venue d’un second enfant de son mari René Angélil. Malheureusement, celui-ci a confirmé au Journal du Québec que sa femme a fait une fausse couche…

Le couple avait eu recours à une autre tentative de fécondation assistée. Ils étaient suivit par le Dr docteur Zev Rosenvaks qui leur avait annoncé en août dernier que la grossesse avait bien démarrée. Malheureusement, une dizaine de jours plus tard, Céline Dion et son mari ont appris que le fœtus n’avait pas survécu. Les futurs parents ont été sous le choc lorsqu’ils ont appris la nouvelle. Cependant ils ne se sont pas découragés et font confiance à l’avenir. Ils se félicitent d’être déjà parents de leur fils René-Charles qu’ils trouvent extraordinaire et restent plus déterminés que jamais.

La grossesse (partie 2 de 2)

Le pourquoi des examens au cours de la grossesse

Une grossesse normale fait l’objet d’un certain nombre d’examens. Certains de ces examens doivent être pratiqués dans des périodes précises du développement de l’embryon. L’objectif de la surveillance régulière est le dépistage précoce de pathologies obstétricales (retard de croissance intra-utérin, hypertension artérielle gravidique, trisomie 21, toxoplasmose, …). Des sérologies sont faites de façon régulière pour dépister certaines maladies infectieuses pouvant entraîner une embryopathie ou une fœtopathie, en particulier chez les femmes non immunisées. Recherche des agglutinines (anticorps) irrégulières tous les mois chez les femmes de rhésus négatif(pour éviter le rejet de l’embryon lorsque celui-ci est rhésus positif). La prévention de certaines anomalies du système nerveux central passe par la prise de vitamines plusieurs semaines avant la fécondation et par une visite périodique chez le chiropraticien.

Les avantages de la chiropratique

Le chiropraticien peut vous conseiller en nutrition (garder une alimentation variée, équilibrée en glucides-protides-lipides et à forte teneur en fruits/légumes) et vous expliquer pourquoi certains aliments sont déconseillés (tabac, alcool, drogues) alors que d’autres sont à préconiser (poissons gras, folate au premier trimestre, fer, calcium). De plus, par sa formation le chiropraticien peut s’assurer que l’enfant est bien positionné dans le ventre de la mère et ainsi éviter des complications à l’accouchement.

Les entrainements chiropratiques Network, au cours de la grossesse, visent une bonne mobilité des os du bassin et du corps, une réduction du stress dans la région du bas de dos (réduisant ainsi les inconforts), une réduction de la fatigabilité physique et psychologique, et une grande satisfaction de soi.

Selon les dernières études, les femmes enceintes recevant régulièrement des soins chiropratiques voient leur temps de travail lors de l’accouchement réduit à 6-8 heures alors que le temps de travail de celles n’étant pas suivie en chiropratique s’échelonnerait de 13 à 24 heures de travail. On observe également, une réduction des complications à la naissance et de l’utilisation d’épidural, de ventouses, de forceps ou de césariennes. De plus, les femmes suivies en chiropratique ont remarqué une réduction des inconforts lombaires, un enfant ayant un sommeil et un tempérament plus calme.

Après l’accouchement

La période du post-partum est comprise entre la délivrance placentaire et  le retour des règles. C’est une période de nouveaux bouleversements à la fois psychiques et familiaux (période clé pour la mise en place de la relation mère-enfant, de la découverte du nouveau-né, de mutations familiales), mais aussi physique avec la perte brutale des repères physiologiques et anatomiques liés à la grossesse. Il s’agit d’une période à risque de complications psychologiques liées aux bouleversements de tous les repères d’une femme, en particulier lorsqu’il s’agit d’un premier enfant. On parle notamment de « baby blues » et de dépression post-natale. Le chiropraticien peut encore vous aider en cette période. L’écoute, les ajustements, les conseils, les recommandations et le support du chiropraticien jouent un rôle clé dans cette période de transition.

Les études démontrent que les soins chiropratiques réduisent les risques de syndrome de mort subite du nouveau-né et stabilisent l’humeur des nouvelles mamans. Étant donné que la naissance représente l’expérience la plus traumatisante et la plus brutale de notre vie, la chiropratique Network aide à libérer ce stress, à réguler la croissance, à calmer l’enfant et ainsi l’aider à faire ses nuits plus rapidement. Ceci au grand plaisir des parents.

A colleague asked why it was that dictionaries seemed to prefer fetuses rather than, say, fœtii, to follow the same rule (she said) as octopus, rather than the “stupid sounding” octopuses.

Well, first of all, the plural of an -us ending is -i, not -ii; the Latinate plural of octopus is octopi, not octopii. Only words that end in -ius pluralize to -ii.

Second, octopi is not really any more correct than octopuses. Octopus was a loan word in Latin and is a loan word in English, and in each case the language has applied its own inflection ending for the plural. The original is Greek octopous (“eight” + “foot”) and the plural of that is octopodes, though those who insist on saying octopodes in English conveniently forget that we don’t say octopous for the singular.

In regard to œ versus e, in many words we have gotten from Latin, the digraph has been simplified in North American English, but that’s hardly the first spelling change ever enacted on Latin loans, and efforts to retain Latin etymology (or resurrect it) have had a lot to do with the poor match between spelling and pronunciation in English. In this case, however, fetus is the more etymologically correct spelling; fœtus is an error – a misconjecture. The original Latin is fetus with a long e.

Anyway, feti is used, but rarely. Fetuses is used commonly because, after all, we’re speaking English, and we more often than not conform loan words to English morphological patterns rather than keeping them in the morphology of the source language. (Quick, what’s the plural of sauna? And why do you say that? Also, why does nobody object that the alcohol and the albatross are redundant, since the al in the source means “the”? Answer: they’re ours now [evil laugh].) I suspect that the fact that feti would sound like “feet eye” has some little something to do with the preference in this case – we don’t always like to confuse ourselves. At any rate, dictionaries document usage. They can have some prescriptive effect, but their main function is to tell people what educated people use a word to mean and how they spell and inflect it. So the usage comes first. Even Noah Webster, when he made a number of spelling reforms in his dictionary, used only spellings that had already been used in real life. (And not all of his changes stuck, either.)

Latinate plurals serve nicely as a sign of desire to sound erudite, and they keep the language nice and difficult the way we like it, but they do have practical limits, beyond which they become rather funny. I seem to recall some humorous prose or verse referring to travelling on omnibi and so forth. (-ibus, by the way, is an inflectional ending of its own and not -ib plus -us, so -ibi is no kind of Latin).

La Grossesse (partie 1 de 2)

Dr. Julien Lévesque, chiropraticien — Quel événement merveilleux que d’apprendre que l’on va devenir mère ou père, surtout lorsque l’enfant à venir est grandement désiré. Le corps de la femme va s’adapter à plusieurs changements physiques, psychologiques et hormonaux. Il est très important que la femme soit accompagné au cours du processus de la grossesse par son conjoint, sa famille, ses amis et son chiropraticien.

Par l’entremise de cet article, je vise à vous présenter un résumé du déroulement de la grossesse; les principaux changements, les principales étapes, les divers services offerts par un chiropraticien ainsi que les nombreux avantages que procurent les soins chiropratiques lors de la grossesse et de l’accouchement.

La grossesse est le processus physiologique au cours duquel la progéniture de la femme se développe dans son utérus. Chez l’être humain, la grossesse dure en moyenne 39 semaines, elle s’amorce lors de la fécondation jusqu’à l’accouchement. On la sépare généralement en trois périodes de 3 mois chacune, que l’on nomme trimestre. Examinons d’abord les changements corporels retrouvés chez les femmes enceintes.

Métamorphose du corps

Au cours de la grossesse, le corps de la femme subit de nombreuses  modifications physiologiques, il y a bien sûr les changements physiques apparents (prise de poids, œdème, cicatrices, décolorations, …) et aussi ceux plus discrets. On retrouve des

• adaptations cardio-vasculaire; il y a augmentation du débit vasculaire de 30-40% avec une augmentation du volume sanguin de 1 à 2 litres;
• adaptations immunitaires; une production d’anticorps pour le fœtus et aussi pour l’adaptation à celui-ci ( la moitié provenant de la mère (l’ovule) et l’autre du père (le spermatozoïde));
• adaptations de l’hémostase; il y a léger éclaircissement du sang ainsi qu’une réduction des plaquettes sanguines;
• adaptations endocriniennes; une augmentation de la production des hormones afin d’assurer le bon développement et la bonne croissance du fœtus, expliquant les possibles sautes d’humeur de la femme enceinte;
• adaptations du système digestif; une augmentation de l’hormone gonadotropine chorionique (essentiel pour le bon développement du fœtus) durant le premier trimestre, entraînent ainsi les nausées matinales.

Les principales étapes de la grossesse

Tel que relevé précédemment, la gestation se compose de trois trimestres. Chacune des périodes de 3 mois est spécifique à certains processus de croissance  du fœtus.

• Au cours du  premier trimestre (de la fécondation au 3^e mois), il est normal que le poids de la nouvelle maman augmente de 2 à 9 livres. Durant cette période, il y a formation, chez l’embryon, du tube neural (cerveau, moelle épinière et colonne vertébrale), des bras, des jambes et des organes internes tels que le cœur.

Pour éviter les malformations chez l’embryon, il est important d’avoir une alimentation riche en acide folique (supplément alimentaire), en oméga-3 (poissons gras et huiles), potassium (légumineuses, légumes feuillus vert), fer (viande, volaille, poisson, légumes verts foncés), calcium et vitamine D (lait et substituts, jaune d’œuf, boisson de soja enrichie). Puisqu’il s’agit du  principal trimestre développemental chez l’enfant, il est important pour la mère d’éviter la consommation de tabac (cigarette), d’alcool, de drogue et de dose massive de caféine (boissons énergétiques).

• Le second trimestre (du 3^e au 6^e mois) est accompagné d’un gain de poids de la mère d’environ une livre par semaine et de la croissance de l’embryon. Le ventre commence à se faire remarquer, la fatigue du début s’estompe ainsi que les nausées et vomissements. Chez le fœtus, il y a la formation des cheveux, le début des mouvements (bras et jambes), le passage de la position courbée à la position assise, le développement des organes génitaux et du système auditif, la maturation du cerveau, et il  est sensible à l’environnement externe (bruit, lumière, activité). La formation de son système auditif le fait apprécier la voix de ses parents, la musique, et l’environnement sonore qui lui devient familier.

Cette étape demande un apport énergétique supplémentaire, alors il faut augmenter ses portions  alimentaires. Les besoins alimentaires demeurent encore les mêmes au niveau vitaminique, mais supérieures en calories.

• Le troisième trimestre (6^e mois à l’accouchement) ressemble assez au deuxième en ce qui concerne le gain de poids pour la maman (environ 1 livre/semaine).  C’est durant les derniers mois que le bébé prend le plus de poids et il est normal de se sentir fatiguée. L’enfant commence à entendre et à percevoir les mouvements de maman. Plusieurs changements s’effectuent chez l’enfant; les os durcissent,  l’enfant bat des paupières, l’enfant va gagner les 2/3 de sa masse graisseuse, coloration rosée de la peau et développement complet des poumons.

L’alimentation doit être riche en calcium (produits laitiers, légumes verts foncés), en oméga-3 et 6 (poissons gras et huiles) et en matières grasses insaturées (huile de canola, olive, soja, margarine non-hydrogénée). L’hydratation est aussi essentielle puisqu’il est important de boire plus de 9 tasses d’eau par jour tout au long de la grossesse.

I recently read an interesting argument against abortion. It starts by observing that, at least as far as the right not to be killed is concerned, we extend full human rights to babies despite the fact that they are not fully developed human beings. They lack many of the characteristics which we typically use to differentiate human beings from other animals such as language and a sense of self; yet we don’t regard them as we would non-human animals.

The writer argues that we do this because although a baby is not yet a “person”, it is a “potential person”, meaning that given enough time, the baby could develop the full range of human characteristics. Personhood is an inherent potential of babies, whether or not they live long enough to attain it. Since this is also true of a foetus or even an embryo or zygote, then we should also extend to them the same full human right not to be killed.

Although i’m uncomfortable with the idea of abortion, I disagree with this analysis. I think that our attitude to babies has little to do with their potential to become persons and a lot to do with our desire to ensure that we don’t inadvertently deny this most fundamental human right not to be killed to actual persons. Or to put it another way: it has a lot to do with our fear of (committing or permitting) murder. The further we extend the category of person, the less chance there is that we will exclude someone who should belong in it. Of course, as we do so, we increase the likelihood that we may include some creature who does not belong in it. But this isn’t nearly as serious a problem – at least not in resource-rich societies.

Nor is this simply a matter of altruism: we are also protecting ourselves. The broader the category that is person, the more security we have as persons. Which of us hasn’t been terrified at some point by the image of ourselves afflicted with one of those degenerative conditions which leaves people trapped inside their bodies, unable to communicate – i.e. to demonstrate their personhood? Which of us doesn’t fear conditions like Alzheimer’s or the ordinary deterioration of old age? We all have a vested interest in a relaxed understanding of what is required to have the status of person. It could be argued that we’re protecting ourselves in another way too: it is very hard for us to come to terms with the fact that someone who appears to be a person may not – or may no longer – really possess personhood.

Yet, there are limits on how far the boundaries of the category of person can be extended. The most basic is this: unsure as we may be about what is going on in another creature’s brain – how much consciousness is there, how much complexity of thought – we do know that without a brain nothing is going on. There is no person because there is no-one home to be a person. The brainstem appears to begin to develop at around the age of 6 to 7 weeks after conception. It does not therefore seem in any way reasonable to insist on assigning the rights of a person to a zygote, regardless of what potential it may or may not have for developing into a person.

After that it gets more complicated: there simply isn’t a magic point at which the foetus is clearly and unequivocally a person and indeed the brainstem goes on developing for some months after a baby is born. It does seem likely, based on the available evidence, that even at full term there is only a very limited capacity for anything that could be genuinely be called thought. Yet, we can’t be sure and so our fear of transgressing the taboo of murder is roused.

In a way though, the potential versus actual personhood argument is superficial. Our reactions and attitudes to babies are not primarily intellectual. As a species we reproduce sexually. Our survival as a species (or a collection of genes) hinges on our success in raising our offspring to adulthood so that they too can reproduce sexually. A human baby is helpless and depends on adult human beings (primarily, but not only, the baby’s parents) feeling motivated to intervene on the baby’s behalf, despite the fact that the baby has no ability to reciprocate the gesture. Something so critical can’t be left to the mercy of the higher intellect. If it were, neither the individual baby nor the human species would last very long.

If we really want to understand why someone may accord a baby the human right not to be killed, but deny it to a foetus (especially in the early stages of a pregnancy), then we need to recognise that we are pre-programmed to respond to babies with feelings of protectiveness, even if these feelings may vary in strength and even if this programming is not always reliable. We are hard wired to over-interpret any evidence of personhood in a baby’s behaviour (“Look at her face! She’s wondering what i’m doing.”).

Until modern times no-one would have been able to view directly the behaviour of a living foetus in the womb.  Even now our interactions with it are limited. There has never been the same evolutionary pressure for us to develop such a strong response to it and so our thought processes are less affected by emotion. Indeed, the emotional response we do have to a foetus is an overflow of that prompted by a baby. The less-developed (and hence less baby-like) the foetus, the less strong our response to it). Rather than being illogical in denying the foetus an absolute right not to be killed, we are being all too logical.

Stephanie Gray

LifeSiteNews reports on a debate featuring Stephanie Gray of CCBR.

Excerpt:

Miss Gray’s argument cut through the various issues that are often raised to confuse the abortion issue, boiling it down to the two simple questions: Are the unborn human?  Does abortion kill them?

If the unborn are human, and abortion kills them, then abortion must be wrong, she maintains.  Using potent examples, she explains how criteria such as disability and the lack of experiencing pain are not satisfactory justifications for killing any human if we recognize that they are human, unborn or not.

She demonstrates that all of the differences between an unborn human, even at the moment of fertilization, and a born human are merely accidental – size, level of development, environment, dependency.  Each of these differences, she says, distinguish a two-year-old from a twenty-year-old just as they do a fertilized embryo from a born person.

The video is in 10 parts. Here are parts 1 and 2.

Read the rest of the report here.

Debate proceeded in spite of censorship threats

LifeSiteNews also notes that the BC Civil Liberties Association is defending the right of pro-lifers to debate the issue in public.

Excerpt:

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) is taking up the case of Youth Protecting Youth (YPY), a pro-life club at the University of Victoria (UVic).

UVic pro-life students, who have been fighting for fair treatment from their student union since October 2008, were finally granted club status and funding by a vote of the Clubs Council on February 10th this year. However, they were again denied the right to be treated equally to other groups on campus only the following month.

In March of this year the UVic student newspaper, The Martlet, reported that the pro-life student club “was denied club money again by the UVic Students’ Society, despite Clubs Council voting in favour of the funding.”

According to a press release from the BCCLA, at the October 5th meeting of the UVic Student Society (UVSS) “the Society confirmed its stubborn determination to withhold the funding ordinarily disbursed to clubs, citing particular alarm at YPY plans to hold a public debate between distinguished UVic philosopher Eike-Henner Kluge representing the pro-choice side, and Stephanie Gray of the Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform on the pro-life side.”

My congratulations to the club and both participants in the debate.

Is there any harm if women bared parts of their body? What modern Medicine is to say about this? And How the prophet Muhammad  (Peace be upon Him) solved this problem?  Let’s read this article.

Islam has forbidden anything which can harm believers? Not only has this, but the Almighty God had forbidden anything which could lead to this harm. He, therefore, forbidden adultery and all things that can lead to it; man looking to women who are non-mahrams* and repeating these forbidden looks may lead to thinking about adultery.

And speaking to women might be a way to adultery, especially when these women are unveiled, and when the talk is of the kind that is stimulating desires, feelings and emotions.

There is another matter that leads to adultery and incites to it; the unveiling of women and the exhibition of the seductive pars of their bodies that stimulates the desire of men. Thus, the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) forbade that and even considered unveiled women (women exposing their beauty) will not smell the scent of paradise! The Prophet (peace be upon him) said about signs of the Day of Resurrection … and women who are dressed and undressed (even if they are dressed they look nude because they expose the seductive parts of their body) slanted and slanting, there heads are like humps of camels, they neither enter paradise nor find its smell…)[Narrated by Muslim].

This Hadith Sharif represents a modern scientific miracle as well. The latest research on skin cancer has disclosed that women who bared parts of their bodies are exposed to infection by cancer significantly. Number of newspapers published medical research on this matter. According to the British Medical Journal that malignant cancer which was infrequent is today increasing constantly, andfrequent cases of this malignant disease are unveiled women who reveal most parts of their bodies.

Moreover, the medical research on this disease stated that it begins as a small black spot on the skin and then develops and grows and spreads in every direction and attack lymphs at the top of the thigh and then jumps and settles in the liver or settles in various organs and body systems.

This disease is transmitted to the foetus in his mother’s womb. One of The dangers of this disease is that it does not respond to radiotherapy like other types of cancers, and can not be cured with surgery. Therefore, the guidance of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) came to forbid unveiling and baring the body before thousand and four hundred years, is not this one the clear miracles of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?

*non-mahrams: mahrams are all women with whom man can not marry and vice versa, because it is forbidden e.g.: his mother, his sister… etc.

Par instants, j’ai le goût d’imiter le foetus.  J’ai le goût d’attirer mes genoux à mon menton, de comprimer mes poignets sur mes mollets, mes bras entassant mes jambes.  J’ai le goût d’être une masse indéfinie.  D’être un tas.  De me comprimer en une plus petite quantité de moi.  Un amas réduit de moi.

Parfois, j’ai l’appel de l’infiniment micro.  D’être un pourcentage que l’on ne prend pas en considération.  Une note loin du seuil de passage.  Un grain de poudre à bébé.  Une maille dans un tissu.  Un galet parmi tant d’autres.

Quelque fois, j’ai soif de me confondre avec la vaisselle amoncelée sur mon faux granite de comptoir.  De jouer à la cachette avec les restes de céréales qui gravitent dans la cavité du stainless.

J’ai le goût d’être une blanche dans une partition de Bach.  Une brisure dans un épi.  Une miette dans un auditorium.  Une virgule dans une tragédie.

D’autres fois, j’ai le goût d’être Jeanne d’Arc, Simone de Beauvoir, Marie Curie, Catherine Deneuve, Oprah Winfrey, Condoleezza Rice.

Mimulus

During entire period of pregnancy, Mimulus can be used, for there will be a scan every three months. Fear of scan; fear of being reported thyroid problem; “What if the doctor says something bad about the position of foetus?” These fearful thoughts can be healed by Mimulus.

The fortune part is Mimulus can minimise any expenditure. Normal delivery will cost less than caesarean delivery. In other words, Mimulus throughout pregnancy will pave for normal delivery!

Wherever there is specific fear, Mimulus has to be there to help you.

Red Chestnut

During development of foetus, the mother will worry, “Will my child’s brain will be well developed? Will its health be good? Will the child be without any problem?” Through out pregnancy Red Chestnut has to be given.

Rescue Remedy

At the time of delivery, pain is intensive. The pregnant women can chant Rescue Remedy. Others close to her have to take Rescue Remedy and Red Chestnut. Write the name of the patient and circle it with Rescue Remedy, as because pregnant women can’t chant it, for pain will be too much then. Be sure the delivery will be normal and smooth.

Agrimony

During 8th month of pregnancy, the lady will be affected by restless leg syndrome. Agrimony and Impatiens can heal it.

Scleranthus

It’s a good remedy for nausea and vomiting, especially during the 3rd month. 9th month starting, the doctor will fix up the date for delivery. As the date gets near we get impatient (Impatiens). Scleranthus person will postpone, while an Impatiens would like to have the delivery immediately. Therefore, Scleranthus and Impatiens is a good combination during the last stages of pregnancy, to have the delivery on time.

Cerato and Chestnut Bud

To beget intelligent children, to make sure the IQ of the child is good, flower remedies is the best choice. One can listen to the Bach Flower Meditation CD by Naran S Balakumar.

Walnut

During entire period of pregnancy every month is a transition. Therefore, Walnut is the remedy.

Olive

If there is total physical exhaustion

Harmony at Home

If during pregnancy, peaceful harmonious atmosphere is to be there at home, for which Beech Willow, Agrimony, and Cherry Plum can be helpful.

Special Remedies for Pregnancy

Let Eshwar Protect

This is a combination to be given throughout the pregnancy: Elm, Sweet Chestnut, Hornbeam, Walnut, Aspen and Red chestnut.

Elm: Person has to manage oneself. It expands the mental ability and physical vitality of the mother. Sweet Chestnut: for the divine grace if a child has to be born safely. Hornbeam: continuous movement; Walnut: for transition. Aspen whatever unknown fear one has. Most of the time, the pregnant woman can not figure out the fear. Red Chestnut: concern for the growing baby.

The first letter of each of the remedies if coined together will form the name, ‘ESHWAR’. If there is a grace of Eshwar – Lord Siva, everything will go on well.

Fifth Month of Pregnancy

Chicory: foetus will start feeling the touch of the mother at the end of the 5th month. Either you can chant all the flower names or listen to Bach Flower Remedy meditation CD. As per Ayurveda, mind starts developing from 5th month of pregnancy. Thanks to flowers, the mind of children will develop well and will be able to understand better. In addition, so many mental faculties will develop better in the child.

Sixth Month of Pregnancy

IQ and brain development: Oak, Chestnut Bud, Cerato, Hornbeam, Walnut and Clematis. For 5 minutes, chant the remedies and keep the hands on the belly (womb). This will help in both right and left brain development and the child will be highly intelligent.

From the 8th month onwards

Add Gentian and Hornbeam to the above combination. Add gentian to combination so that there is no regression in the foetus. Around 8th month, the mother will not be able to sleep properly and will be tossing in the bed – Scleranthus is the remedy. When dates are announced, Scleranthus and Impatiens. Whenever the pregnant women go for checkups, Mimulus has to be given. For easy and natural delivery: bio-26 – this Bio salt is available in homeopathy shops. From the 4^th month onwards, four tablets, three times a day.

Ninth Month

The mother-to-be is admitted in the hospital. Pain will increase. Give her Rescue Remedy. As her parents can’t bear their daughter cry, give them Rescue Remedy with Red Chestnut.

After Delivery

White Chestnut and Walnut has to be given to the mother. 1^st or 2^nd day breast feeding will be difficult – Elm and Chestnut Bud. After the delivery, in the bathing water, add Walnut and Star of Bethlehem (need not be given orally to child) or you can chant them to baby’s ears. After 15 days, it can be given orally. For child and mother, if there is fluid in the ear, give them Heather and Crab Apple.

Après « Izaël » paru en mai 2006, « Lisa » en août 2007, le troisième tome du « Codex Angélique » vient enfin clore cette série en un feu d’artifice d’ésotérisme, de surprises et brio !

Thierry Gloris a su orchestrer son scénario en une superbe montée en puissance qui fait du « Codex Angélique » un incontournable du polar ésotérique et fantastique. L’imbroglio des personnages et des destins se scellent en une étonnante descente et/ou remontée aux enfers ! Quant aux dessins de Mikaël Bourgouin, ils semblent incarner cette atmosphère tant dans leur mise en page que dans le choix de leurs couleurs.

Pour ceux qui seraient passés à côté du Codex Angélique, l’histoire débute avec les tentatives infructueuses d’ Ernest Devisse de rendre vie à sa soeur, la mère de Thomas, plongée dans un coma artificielle. Mais le Codex en main, il semblerait que le meilleur moyen soit de prendre en otage un ange afin de forcer la main à Dieu… ! Ajoutez à cela un mystérieux Croque Cœur qui tue ses victimes pour leur dérober leur cœur et vous pouvez imaginer ce qui vous attend dans les brumes londoniennes…

Consider this article from LifeSiteNews about India’s alarming sex ratio.

Excerpt:

India’s feminists and population control-pushing government are “stumped” by the dramatic drop of female births among the wealthier classes due to sex-selective abortions, reports the Globe and Mail’s Indian correspondent Stephanie Nolen.

Due to a ’son preference’ in Indian culture, the use of new technologies to detect and abort baby girls has become widespread.

Technically it has been illegal in India to tell couples the sex of their unborn child or to abort based on sex since 1994.  This law, however, is rarely enforced.  Consequently, sex-selective abortion practices are rampant and the ratio of girls to boys is continuing to fall.  India’s 2001 census revealed that there were only 927 girls aged 0-6 per 1,000 boys, a marked drop from the 1991 census, which found 945 per 1000.  This means that in that decade there were 35 million fewer females registered in the country than males, according to Canada’s International Development Research Centre.

The statistics in certain areas are shocking.  The IDRC revealed last year that the wealthier urban families of the Indian Punjab have merely 300 girls for every 1,000 boys.  In South Delhi, the ratio is 832:1000, and in the state of Haryana it’s 822:1000.

If you are in favor of abortion, then you are in favor of murdering women just because they are women. Every person who voted for Barack Obama voted to murder women just because they are women. Abortion is the ultimate domestic violence against women.

Masters of Horror seeriat asus omal ajal näitama HBO Showtime kanalilt. Suurepärane, kui mõelda, et õudus pole tingimata peavool. HBO osalemine tähendas ka muuhulgas piiranguid näidatavale ehk siis mehi ei tohtinud eestvaates alasti näidata ja laps ei tohtinud lapsele kurja teha. Kõik nagu kompu, Miike täitis kenasti oma ülesande… ja HBO keelas esimese hooaja 13nda osa Imprint ikkagi ära. Nii, seda peab ju järelikult nägema oma silmaga. Esimesed 20min pidin igavuse kätte ära surema, nihelesin pidevalt ja mõtlesin, et selle Teleteatri nad siis ära keelasidki? Kas sellepärast, et Billy Drago näitlemine oli nii masendav? Aga, et see on Miike toodang ja Audition ka endiselt selgelt meeles, siis tuli jätkata. Ja ei läinudki kaua, üsna varsti maaliti deformeerunud näoga prostituudi loojutustamise käigus ekraanile selline graafiline piinamine, et pidin meenutama, kas ma olen midagi ligilähedast kunagi näinud, aga õnneks on mu mälu 7 sekundit ja midagi ei meenunud. HBO keskmistest asjapulkadest sain nüüd küll aru, neil tekkis oma telekanali peale mõeldes ilmselt selline tunne, et nende ülemused topivad neile nõelad igemesse, kui see asi peaks eetrisse jõudma.

Lugu ise pole Miike väljamõeldis, vaid Shimako Iwai poolt kirjutatud ning lisaks kirjutamisoskusel tõestab ta veel, et oskab mängida piinajat üleinimlikult võika naudinguga. Värvid, atmosfäär ja kostüümid on filmis kõik meisterklass, kuid see TV formaat häiris kohati üsna korralikult. Kui mõtet edasi liigutada, siis mis oleks saanud, kui Miike oleks selle teinud täispika mängufilmina? Olgu, seda ei tulnud, aga see kindlasti oli siiani tõsiselt õõvamaailma sisselõikav katsetus Miikelt, kelle One Missed Call oli omal ajal tõsine pettumus. Aga jah, lõpetuseks tuleb öelda, et see film polnud niivõrd õudne, kui lihtsalt tohutult  häiriv, küüneliha valuni küsitav vaatamine inimestele, kellel juba Freddy vaadates imelik hakkab.

IMDB

Personhood USA says it has chapters in 29 states working to get “personhood” measures on 2010 ballots or before state legislatures.

Here is a slogan I would like to see,

“Life Counts: but don’t count on employment,clean air, and right to vote. Don’t count on healthcare either”.

Expect probably a violent death under DUI or by gun.
