Too Good to Replace

A doctor in Ireland wanted to take off from work to go hunting so,

he approached his faithful assistant, George.

"George" he said, "I am going hunting tomorrow and I don't want to close the clinic,

I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all my patients".

"Yes, sir!" answered George.

So the doctor went hunting and when he returned the following day he inquired:

"So George, how was yesterday?"

George responded saying that he had taken care of three patients.

"The first one had a headache so I gave him TYLENOL."

"Bravo, Mate! And how was the second one?" asked the doctor.

"The second one had stomach burning and I gave him MAALOX, sir,"

Replied George.

"Bravo, bravo! You're good at this and, what about the third one?"

asked the doctor.

"Sir, I was sitting here when suddenly the door opened and in came a woman.

Like a flame, she undressed herself taking off everything including her bra

And panties then, she lied down on the table.

Spreading her legs open she shouted".

"HELP ME! For five years I haven't seen any man!"

"Tunderin' Lard Jayzus! George, what did you do?" asked the doctor.

"I put drops in her eyes."

The Diaspora role in the New Ethiopia

By Araya Belay

Since the early 1970s, Ethiopia has witnessed an effective reversal of development trends; failing to sustain any degree of development momentum and was moving into an ever deepening crisis of the human Environment. Added to the economic and ecological problems, Ethiopia has been marred by protracted wars, ethnic strife and communal violence for the past many decades. This has meant severe and unheard of hardship for the people of Ethiopia. The overwhelming majority of our citizens were preoccupied by the need for sheer survival -- most eking out a daily existence at a very high price. The impact of crushing poverty and the extent of economic deprivation is simply too overwhelming to provide a fertile ground for nourishing a pluralist society. At this moment the new Ethiopia where nations and nationalities got the upper hand, Ethiopia is moving the right direction, economically, politically and socially.

Whereas, much of the Ethiopian Diaspora, which numbers over a million, is highly educated and technically advanced became silent majority in the Diaspora society. Through creative programmers and linkages the Diaspora can assist to Ethiopia to come out of brain drain and misery of draught. Now is the time we all Ethiopians to unite and help our beloved motherland in all spheres’ of field regardless of our political view. Working and helping alongside our national compatriots, play a major leading and vanguard role in coming to the help of our fellow Ethiopians. It is incumbent upon the Diaspora to mount diligent efforts to ameliorate the humiliating human tragedy. In a win-win game, the Diaspora will achieve its aspiration to be part of Ethiopia’s development and harvest the fruits of its investment. The Diaspora can do for Ethiopia what the Indian Diaspora has managed to accomplish for the Indian economy. However, that can not be accomplished without creating organic relationship between Ethiopia and its Diaspora investors.

What is the solution blaming each other in paltalks and other medias? No, I am saying to the Diaspora who are willing to help and support their compatriots, I am talking to the Diaspora with deaf ears, who are blaming each and every day the current government with no reason. Let’s see how Greece, India, Isreal, Portugal and other countries went through extensive development by their Diaspora investment and helped after the Second World War ended. We Ethiopians can be also proactive in the current development by investing our money and knowledge. The Diaspora is well placed to develop investment and entrepreneurship with long term strategies for employmentand growth. Small businesses constitute the bedrock of entrepreneurial development anywhere in the world. The Diaspora can assist in the developing national think tanks that nurture democratic and human development values and develop entrepreneurial culture in Ethiopian society. While the current dynamics of political change and opportunities for popular participation in governance in Ethiopia are unprecedented, a significant challenge, however, is to place these dynamics in a coherent perspective and within the context of basic principles of the market and good governance, and determine how, in the implementation of such principles, relevant experiences may be shared between nations and nationalities. This can be achieved when the Diaspora follows the rules and laws of the of the society not in violence adventure.

Sodium thiopental,Pancuronium and Potassium chloride

2009-12-17T21:44:00.000-05:00

                      1. Sodium thiopental: ultra-short action barbiturate, an
anaesthetic agent capable of rendering the prisoner unconscious in a few seconds. Sodium thiopental, better known as Sodium Pentothal (a trademark of Abbott Laboratories), thiopental, thiopentone sodium, or trapanal, is a rapid-onset short-acting barbiturate general anaesthetic. Sodium thiopental is a depressant and is sometimes used during interrogations—not to cause pain (in fact, it may have just the opposite effect), but to weaken the resolve of the subject and make him or her more compliant to pressure.[3] Thiopental is a core medicine in the World Health Organization's "Essential Drugs List", which is a list of minimum medical needs for a basic health care system.

              Sodium thiopental structure

              C12 H19 N2 Na O2 S

      2.Pancuronium: non-depolarizing muscle relaxant, causes complete, fast and sustained paralysis of the skeletal striated muscles, including the diaphragm and the rest of the respiratory muscles; this would eventually cause death by asphyxiation. Pancuronium is a chemical compound, used in medicine as the bromide salt pancuronium bromide. It has the brand name Pavulon (Organon International). It is a muscle relaxant with various purposes. It is one of the drugs administered during a lethal injection in the United States.

C35 H6 0Br2 N2 O4

          3.Potassium chloride: KCl- stops the heart, and thus causes death by cardiac arrestThe chemical compound potassium chloride (KCl) is a metal halide salt composed of potassium and chlorine. In its pure state it is odorless. It has a white or colorless vitreous crystal, with a crystal structure that cleaves easily in three directions. Potassium chloride crystals are face-centered cubic. Potassium chloride is occasionally known as "muriate of potash," particularly when used as a fertilizer. Potash varies in color from pink or red to white depending on the mining and recovery process used. White potash, sometimes referred to as soluble potash, is usually higher in analysis and is used primarily for making liquid starter fertilizers. KCl is used in medicine, scientific applications, food processing and in judicial execution through lethal injection. It occurs naturally as the mineral sylvite and in combination with sodium chloride as sylvinite. KCl

EPRDF

2009-09-08T23:16:00.000-04:00

http://arayabelay.blogspot.com/Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and other Senior EPRDF leaders will step down in the coming five years

Aigaforum 09/08/09 (Addis Ababa):- In unprecedented move EPRDF Council has endorsed a move to replace senior EPRDF leaders with new, young and powerful leaders. The decision by the Council will be implemented in three phases and comes after a lengthy discussion within the executive leadership. The executive leadership was divided on the nature and depth of the changes being proposed and decided to present the case to the Council.
Sources tell us the decision will be implemented in three phases possibly within the next five years. Some senior leaders will retire and will be assigned a new role after the coming election of 2010 while the remaining will be assigned in the next mid-election and going forward.
The new leaders will come from the existing long time combatant members of the Front(EPRDF) as well as members that joined after EPRDF took power. Those retiring or stepping down will be the long time combatant leaders as well as current high ranking government officials. Our sources also disclosed that win or lose in the next election EPRDF will have new leaders in its high ranking officials. They also tell us that if EPRDF wins the next election it is most likely PM Meles Zenawi and some key officials will continue to lead the transition team and will retain their current role until the transition is complete within the next five years.
Although some of the new leaders do not seem to be known to the public we were told many of them have been closely working with current high ranking officials.
Long time political pundits we talked told us the Tehadso movement that got started in earnest after the Ethio-Eritrea war within the EPRDF movement is delivering results. Economically the country has been registering over 10% growth year after year. Ever since election 2005 the democratic process is more consolidated as demonstrated today in the resourceful activities in the country. Democratic institutions are setting foot and entrenched. Last but not least EPRDF has superbly demonstrated the continuous emergence of change. Successful EPRDF leaders are voluntarily relinquishing their post to a younger generation unprecedented in the history of the country. However, we have not witnessed such exemplary action from the opposition leaders.
EPRP, OLF and KINJIT leaders have become savvy in creating new organizations instead allowing new visionary leaders to come to the forefront. EPRP leaders after holding their organization hostage for 40 years have opted to split and give a new name to their miniscule splinter organization. As for the new comer Kinjit it has unfortunately inherited the culture of split. Today it has the audacity to plead to be given another chance with another name. Who could forget how Kinijit abandoned the very choice of the people when it totally declined to take office to serve the very people that elected it in the capital city Addis Ababa. It was indeed a slap on the face to those that genuinely came out to vote when it refused to deliver what it claimed to stand for.
Current EPRDF leaders fought hard to topple the Derge regime and won. That alone would have been enough for them to lead forever. However, it is through blood and sweat that victory was won and many brothers, sisters and comrades died for one reason and only one reason and that was to bring equality and access to the resources of the countryto the diverse nationalities of Ethiopia. This has been started and a sustainable future awaits the vision of EPRDF. With diligence and focused purpose each and every step towards bringing the country to prosperity is being designed and implemented.
We say the decision by the EPRDF Council is timely and a must. It has chosen change with continuity to bring about fundamental transformation in the country. Leadership, Vision and Action is required to move Ethiopia forward. Able and pragmatist leaders must not be pushed for push’s sake. However, able and pragmatist leaders must also be born and nurtured to succeed. We have seen light at the end of the tunnel and the long overdue change has finally come and we say way to go EPRDF.

Excellent article on cancer.AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ANDELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THEREIS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY. Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a fewbillion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests areunable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.3.. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,food and lifestyle factors.5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do notresult in more tumor destruction.9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hencethe person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancercells to spread to other sites.11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes likeNutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molassesbut only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's amino or sea salt.b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk andsubstituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather thanbeef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkalineenvironment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reachdown to cellular levels within 15 minutes to no urish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells tryand drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed attemperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrifiedand leads to more toxic buildup.13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls ofcancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable thebody's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, thebody's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relaxand enjoy life.16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellularlevel. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells

An Arab and Jew

An Arab needed a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery the Doctors needed to store his blood type in case the need arises. Because the gentleman had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally. So the call went out to a number of countries.

Finally, a Jew was located who had the same blood type and who was willing to donate his blood to the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent the Jew a thank-you card for giving his blood along with an expensive diamond and a new Rolls Royce car as a token of his appreciation.

Unfortunately, the Arab had to go through a corrective surgery once again.
His doctors telephoned the Jew who was more than happy to donate his blood again. ! After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Jew a Thank You card and a box of Almond Roca sweets. The Jew was shocked to see that the Arab this time did not acknowledge the Jew's kind gesture in the same way as he had done the first time. So he phoned the Arab and asked him why he had expressed his appreciation in not a very
generous manner.
The Arab replied 'ya habibi, I have Jewish blood now, remember

A twenty-one-year-old girl tells her Mom that she has missed her Period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Drugstore and buys a test kit.
The test result shows that the girl is pregnant.
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!"
The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man
With gray hair, impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit, steps out Of the car and enters the house.
He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl,
And tells them, "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the Problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation,
But I'll provide support.
If a girl is born, I will bequeath her two retail stores, a Townhouse, a beach villa and a $1,000,000 bank account.
If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account.
If it is twins, a factory and $1,000,000 each.
However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"
At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand Firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him,
"Then you try again."
