Seeto Killer On The Loose

The family of Holland Seeto, chief
executive of Lees Trading Company
Ltd, was left in shock following the
tragic news of his death, which police
are treating as alleged murder.
Fiji Police Force spokeswoman Ana
Naisoro said the late Mr Seeto's body
was discovered between 6am and
6.30am at the Lees factory headquarters
in Laucala Beach by an employee who
claimed he saw a masked man fleeing
the scene.
An employee revealed how he chased a
masked man in vain before he saw his
boss lying in a pool of blood.
Holland Seeto, 59, died from stab
wounds in his office in Laucala Beach
Estate, Suva.
Police are looking for the masked man
in an alleged murder investigation.
But the employee, who wished not to
be identified because he feared for his
familys safety, said he recognised the
man behind the mask.
I was at the factory when I heard
noises. When I came out I saw a masked
man, whom I recognised wearing a
three-quarter pants and a round necked
Tee-shirt, he said.
The employee said he ran after the man
until he disappeared into the back of
the factory.
I then ran straight to my CEOs office
to inform him that I had seen a masked
man getting out of the factorys
premises, however when I opened
the door I saw him lying in a pool of
blood, he said.
Mr Seeto usually reported to work at
6am.
It was also alleged that when Mr Seeto
came into the factorys premises, the
security guard on duty did not note in
his log book that Mr Seeto had arrived.
In an interview with the media, the
victim's brother and prominent figure
in the tourism industry, Dixon Seeto,
said he was on his way to Nadi when
his sister-in-law contacted him.
"I was first alerted by my sister-in-law

just after 7am that there was something
happening at the factory and the
workers were outside and the police
were inside and they were not letting
anyone in," he explained.
"I was actually on my way down to
Nadi and I turned back and went to
the factory where my brother worked,
and the officers then disclosed to me
the sad news that my brother had been
attacked and passed away."
He said there was nothing unusual in
his behaviour in the days leading up
to his death. He said his brother acted
the way he did every other day and his
children even went to school.
"Everything was normal. Even his son
went to school.
"We have to look after our brother's
family now and arrange for his
funeral and the final rites and take
responsibility."
As expected, the tragic news was not
received well by the victim's mother,
who only seven short months ago, lost
her other son, Johnson.
"It's never easy to handle a death, we

are all in shock and grief. We only lost
a brother last May.
"My mother is very distraught. It's hard
because she lost two of her offspring
in a matter of seven months. It's very
hard because Holland is a very popular
man with his staff and a friend to
everybody."
The family also acknowledged the
many calls of condolences it received
from the Prime Minister, ministers,
friends and relatives.
"We also want to mention his staff who
stayed outside the premises until the
police removed Holland's body out of
the premises as a mark of respect. His
employees were loyal to the end and
showed their respect.
Holland, a member of the RBF board,
is survived by his wife Vuli, and two
children Conrad, 7, and Bernice, 2.
Personal information
Holland Seeto is the third in a family of
eight children. He received his primary
education at the then Chinese Primary
School before he went to Marist

www.bcautodealers.ca
Brothers High School and later to the

University of the South Pacific.
He has been with Lees Trading
Company Limited for more than 30
years.
He is survived by his wife, Vuli of
Namuka-i-Lau and two children,
Conrad in Year Three and Bernice, a
two-year-old.
Seeto family
Mr Seetos brother, Fiji Hotel and
Tourism Association president Dixon
Seeto said the family was still shocked
over his brothers death.
I was on my way to Nadi this morning
when I was notified by his wife shortly
after 7am of the tragedy. I later spoke
to Police and got the bad news, Mr
Seeto said.
He was well known as a kind man and
we cannot understand why someone
had done that to him.
He said the family was baffled because
the office was in a fully fenced
compound with a security guard.
He said they were overwhelmed with the
messages of condolences and support
from relatives, friends and people from
all walks of life in Fiji and overseas.
The
Prime
Minister,
Voreqe
Bainimarama, and Cabinet ministers
also called to share their sympathy and
support, he said
The late Mr Seetos popularity as a
boss was shown when many of his staff
were openly crying as Hollands body
was taken out from his office.
Some had also joined Hollands sisterin-law Jenny Seeto to comfort his
wife, Vuli. They declined to comment
because they were too distraught.
The Chinese community in Fiji is still
trying to come to terms with the death
of Mr Seeto.
Its president, Yuen Bing Tong, said
they were shocked. He confirmed they
would be visiting Mr Seetos family.
We still cannot believe how he had
died, Mr Tong said.

Man Who Came To Canada From Fiji At Age 11 Faces

Deportation For Robbing Store
A Kamloops, B.C., man who
immigrated to Canada as a boy may
face deportation to his native Fiji after
he is sentenced on a robbery charge,
provincial court has heard.
Feroz Buksh, 44, pleaded guilty to one
count each of robbery and use of an
imitation firearm at a store where he
broke down in tears in the middle of a
demand for money from the till.
Judge Stephen Harrison accepted a
joint submission from Crown and
defence lawyers for an 18-month jail
sentence.
Mr. Buksh is a sympathetic character,
Harrison said.
Prior to the robbery, Buksh did not

have a criminal record.
He blamed his divorce and death of
his mother and brother in Fiji for
sending him into a spiral where he was
homeless, broke, hungry and addicted
to speed, said Harrison, who read
a letter from Buksh at the sentencing
hearing.
Harrison delayed the sentencing to
hear a defence submission about the
impact of a sentence on Bukshs future
in Canada.
He is a permanent resident and does
not have citizenship despite living in
Canada since he was 11. His two adult
children were in the courtroom.

Student lawyer Jay Michi told Harrison
that the passage of a recent law means
anyone living in Canada without
citizenship and sentenced to more than
six months in jail may face deportation
without appeal.
Buksh walked into a store last Sept.
19 and asked a clerk for some hot food
and 10 packs of cigarettes.
He tried to pay for the items with a
pre-paid Visa card. When that failed he
demanded money from the till and said
he had a gun.
Then he began to cry, telling the clerk
he would use the money to pay for
bills and that he was going through a

divorce.
Buksh grabbed the money and ran
out. As he did, the bag broke and the
contents spilled out.
Police found him hiding in a closet at a
friends house.
I have to say as well that robberies
of this sort are far too frequent in this
community, Harrison said. People
who work these jobs in corner stores
and markets should not have to fear
this.
Buksh has already spent three months
in jail after he breached his bail. He
will also serve 18 months' probation.
Do Not Beat Up Children - Surviving Veterans Receive

Rosy Akbar Warns
$9,855 Each
Children found being physically

assaulted by their parents are being
taken into social welfare care.
An alleged incident last Saturday has
prompted the Minister for Children,
Rosy Akbar, to sound a strong warning
against corporal punishment, child
abuse and neglect.
This comes after seven siblings were
removed from their fathers care by
Social Welfare officials.
Their father has been taken in by
Police for allegedly beating one of his
children.
The nine-year old girl was allegedly
assaulted by the father at their Valelevu
home.
Ms Akbar said the Ministry visited the
family right after the report was made.
The ministry will not tolerate any case
of corporal punishment or any form of
child abuse or neglect for that matter,
the minister said.
The Welfare officers have visited the
familys home in Valelevu and saw that
the conditions in which these children
are housed in is not good, Ms Akbar
said.
She said the very last option in any

child welfare case is the placement
of the child in residential care homes
through which the child becomes the
responsibility of the state.
In such cases when a child is removed
from their families then a court order is
requested by the ministry.
In a separate case, a mother has been
charged with beating her 12-year-old
daughter using a belt.
Under the Child Welfare Decree which
was put in place by the Bainimarama
Government, it is mandatory for the all
child welfare cases to be reported to
the Permanent Secretary for Children
or to their nearest social welfare office.
The decree states that it is also mandatory
for Police, Social Welfare and medical
officers, and teachers to report all child
welfare cases to the ministry.
The ministry has a National Child
Welfare Register that has details of the
child welfare case reports under the
Child Welfare Decree 2010.
This is a first for Fiji, which provides
unprecedented safety for children.

quality treatment for the patients.
At the moment we are conducting
angiograms and we are working with
some of the Fijian medical team.
Professor Munibhargav said the nurses
and doctors they had worked with were
very enthusiastic.
We will be performing open-heart
surgeries from February 3 till the 17,
he said.

Indian Investors Show Interest In Fiji
Indian businesses have shown interest

in investing in construction, medical,
energy amongst other areas in Fiji.
Permanent Secretary for Industry,
Trade and Tourism, Shaheen Ali, and
the executive chairman of Investment
Fiji, Truman Bradley, met with Indian
business houses to discuss investment
opportunities in Fiji.
Last week the delegation met with a
number of companies, many of which
were very large Indian multinationals
that have an annual turnover of more
than US$400million and have invested
in various countries or partnered with
governments in a number of countries.
Indian businesses are showing strong
interest in investing in Fiji in areas,
such as, construction, medical, energy,
film making, agriculture, to name a
few Mr Ali said.
Investment between Fiji and India
has immense potential, especially, with
the efforts of the two governments to
create an enabling environment for
trade and investment to take off.
Last year Fiji and India signed a
Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement
that exempts investors from being
charged taxes twice, in both countries.
However, it is the private sector and

commercial activities that are the
driving force which will determine the
success of the Governments initiatives
and policies, Mr Ali said.
With the renewed and strengthened
Fiji-India relations evidenced by the
Indian Prime Ministers visit to Fiji
and his discussions with the Fijian
Prime Minister Hon. J.V Bainimarama,
there are many opportunities available
that will be explored.
The interest from the Indian business
community is an indication of the
readiness of these businesses to come
to Fiji and explore the opportunities,
Mr Bradley said.
There are a number of companies
that have already registered as foreign
investors and are going through the
process of establishing their business
interests in Fiji. Hence, in the coming
months, we will see a number of Indian
projects materialising in Fiji.
Mr Ali and Mr Bradley were part of
the Fijian delegation to India, led by
the Attorney-General and Minister
for Finance, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum
and Minister for Industry, Trade and
Tourism, Faiyaz Siddiq Koya.

Education Ministry To
Cater For Child Beggars
The Education Ministry is willing to facilitate the education of children

found begging in streets and those facing financial difficulties.
This follows the removal of children

from the streets by the Ministry
of Women, Children and Poverty
Alleviation last week.
Education Minister Dr Mahendra
Reddy says his Ministry will try and
assist children in such situations.

Were happy to look at the plight and
if theres any issue in respect to parents
in schools, we will come in and assist
them. Whether we immediately have to
construct a tarpaulin kind of classroom
or etc, well do that and then construct
a proper classroom. We had some cases
from Nadi we instructed our divisional
education officer to go down and ensure
the child gets a school. Buy a tablet, desk
and chair and put it in a classroom but
thats our job and we have to do that.
5 children between the ages of 4 and 16
are currently in residential care receiving
their basic needs from the state.
The children were supposed to be in
school but were found begging on the
streets in Nadi.
Embassy Helps Mother

And Son
The Fijian Embassy in United Arab

Emirates (UAE) is trying its best to
facilitate the repatriation of Fane Traill.
Mrs Traill is a Fijian who was stranded
in Kuwait with her son without her
passport and relevant documents.
Fijis Ambassador to UAE, Robin Nair
said Mrs Traill arrived in Kuwait last
January without any work contract.
The embassy is liaising with the
State of Kuwait to assist Mrs Traill
and her son who are now deemed to
be living in Kuwait illegally, Mr
Nair said.
He said his First Secretary, Emosi
Rakai had visited Mrs Traill last week

and discussed her situation and ways
the embassy could assist them.
The Fijian Embassy remains hopeful
that she and her baby would return to
Fiji soon, Mr Nair said.
Meanwhile, Mrs Traill said in her
meeting with Mr Rakai, he had
informed her she had only two options.
He told me that the only options that
I had was for me to get a new sponsor
so that the company I had worked for
would release my passport, or I had to
go through prison with my baby and
get deported, Mrs Traill said.

Surrey Named Among Worlds Top 7 Intelligent

Communities
The City of Surrey has been named

as one of the Top 7 Intelligent
Communities of 2015 by New Yorkbased think tank Intelligent Community
Forum. The ICF studies the economic
and social development of the 21st
Century community. Its mandate is to
educate communities on how to build
prosperous economies, solve social
problems and enrich local cultures.
As the most rapidly growing city in
the region, investing in technology
and innovation is crucial to building a
city that is ready for the challenges of
the future, said Mayor Linda Hepner.
The Top 7 distinction given to us is
fitting as the City of Surrey has been
at the forefront in our use of digital
technology to foster economic, social
and cultural opportunities.
Out of more than 300 nominations, the
City of Surrey is the lone Canadian city
in the Top 7 list and is now in contention
for the prestigious designation of
Intelligent Community of the Year.
The other six cities and towns on the
list include three communities from the
United States, and one from Taiwan,
Australia and Brazil respectively.
This is a significant milestone for

Surrey as it acknowledges that the City
is on the right track with sustainable
economic growth, innovative service
delivery, and sound infrastructure
investments, said Councillor Bruce
Hayne, Chair of the Investment and
Innovation Committee.
Surreys progressive approach is
outlined in its Smart Surrey Strategy
which provides a framework to build a
city that uses technology and innovation
to transform life and work within the
region. Strategy initiatives include:
Innovation Boulevard, an agile
partnership of health, business,
higher education and government
which is creating new health
technologies to improve peoples'
lives in the areas of medical
devices, independent living and
digital health.
The City is building an Organic
Waste
Biofuel
Processing
Facility which will process the
citys organic waste into a 100%
renewable fuel. This fuel will
then be used to power Surreys
waste collection vehicles, creating
the only sustainable closed-loop

system in North America.
Surrey City Energy has been
established to implement and
operate district energy systems
within the City. A district energy
system distributes thermal energy
(i.e. heated water) by way of a
common heat source and pipe
system to buildings in a defined
neighborhood. These systems are
an efficient and effective means of
reducing greenhouse gas emissions
by utilizing low GHG-emission
energy sources.
The Citys state-of-the-art Traffic
Management
Centre,
began
operating in the fall of 2014; this
Centre allows adjustments of
traffic signals based on real-time
traffic flow. It is the most advanced
municipal centre of its kind in BC.
This centralized control system
controls 320 traffic signals and 16
coordinated corridors.
The My Surrey App is a
convenient alternative for residents
to engage and interact with the city.
The app acts a portal for all Surrey
apps and also includes features such

as service request reporting, news,
events, facility locations, job listings,
bike routes, and parking.
An Open Data Catalogue,
comprising more data sets than
any other municipality in Canada,

The catalogue includes datasets on
crime, financial information and
restaurant inspections.

Ravinder (Ravi) Singh Atwal Named As Truck Driver

Killed In Crash Near Massey Tunnel
An Abbotsford, B.C. father - Ravinder
(Ravi) Singh Atwal has been identified
as the driver who died in a fiery truck
collision on Highway 99 south of Massey
Tunnel, near Delta, B.C. on Wednesday.
Witnesses to the collision tried to pull
Atwal out of the truck, which was fully
engulfed in flames, but were unable to
save him.
The B.C. Coroners Service has yet to
confirm the identity of the driver. But
Shimmy Walia of Mid-Valley Sand
and Gravel in Surrey, B.C. said that
he owned the truck in the fire and that
Atwal was the driver.
Walia also said Atwall was in his 30s,
was from Abbotsford, B.C. and had
several children.
He said Atwal had been driving for
his company for roughly two years
and stressed he was a very safe,
conscientious driver who would always
tell his bosses about even tiny things,
such as small burned-out lights.
Walia also said the truck was a 2014
model, in very good condition and was

regularly inspected.
Loud bangs, flying tires
The accident happened around 9 a.m.
PT on Wednesday near the overpass
for Highway 17A, also known as the
Ladner Trunk overpass.
Witnesses reported explosions after
the southbound dump truck hit the
highway median and burst into flames.
"We tried to get out there to do what
we could to help him, but it was too
late. There was loud bangs, tires were
flying. It was time to step back," said
witness Gary Edgar on Wednesday.
"We were yelling at him. We were
pretty confident he was unconscious
throughout all this, but there was no
way to get him out."
Two vehicles in the northbound lanes
were also damaged after being hit.
The drivers of both vehicles were
transported to hospital with non-life
threatening injuries. The cause of the
fire is still under investigation.

Police Recover Elderly

Vancouver Could Tow
Man's Wedding Band After Chronic Offenders, Even
He Sold It To Buy Food
After Fines Paid
Police in an Ontario town chipped

in this week to help an elderly man
recover his wedding ring, which he'd
been forced to sell in order to buy
groceries for him and his wife.
Officers were called to a home in
Cornwall, Ont. for what they thought
was a domestic dispute. Instead, they
discovered that the woman at the home
was suffering from dementia, and her
husband had pawned his wedding band.
Heartbroken by the scene, the officers
who had taken the call came up with a
plan to help the man get his ring back.
"We put money together, and found
out where he did sell his wedding
band, and we bought it back," said Sgt.
George Knezevic. Police also collected
food for the couple.

The elderly man had sold his wedding
band, which he'd worn for more than
50 years, to a consignment shop in
downtown Cornwall. He had been
trying to raise enough money to pay
for food.
Later that week, police delivered a load
of groceries and the ring.
"They have an inscription on the
wedding band that says 'together
forever,' so when we got the wedding
band back, I don't think there was a dry
eye in the station at all," said Knezevic.
The couple has since been in touch
with the Alzheimer Society of Canada,
which provides support to people
living with the disease.
Family Of Innocent Victim

Of Surrey Drive-By Shooting
The Halane family received another

knock at their door late Friday night.
The last time police came calling, in
2006, it was to tell them their beloved
Mahdi, 18, had just been shot in a
drive-by shooting in Whalley.
Nine years later, Sgt. Mike Hall was
again at their door, this time bearing
news that an arrest had been made.
I dont think its fully sunk in yet,
Juweria Halane, Mahdis sister, said on
Monday.
It would have been better if Mahdi
were here to hear this.
Fushpinder Singh Brar, 30, from
Surrey is charged with manslaughter in
the Oct. 14, 2006, shooting.
Brar was arrested in Vancouver on
Friday. Insp. Manny Mann, of Surrey
RCMPs major crime section, said it
was a direct result of investigators
following up on leads and new
information received, and we hope it
will bring some closure to the family.
The Halane family was preparing to
head over to Surrey provincial court
Monday morning for Brars first court
appearance.
Juweria said she was very nervous
about seeing the suspect for the first
time, as her family had never heard of
him until now.
Shes still in shock, she said, at how
her brothers paralysis and ultimately
his death stemmed from something so
stupid, idiotic.
Her brother was a tall, athletic young
man who loved basketball. Filled with
life, he was a practical joker who easily
made friends.
He was just like a typical brother who
annoyed you when things went wrong
and kind of was there to support you
when you needed him too.
Sgt. Hall, in charge of Surrey RCMPs
unsolved homicides unit, said Monday
that story proved very valuable to the

investigation.
What it did was it made it (the
crime) relevant again. It helped people
remember.
Hall has been on the case since the
night of the shooting and said police
believe Mahdi was an innocent victim.
They also believe there are other
people who were either involved in the
shooting or who have very important
information about it, who have yet to
speak with police. Hall can be reached
at 604-599-7634.
Mahdis mom Safia and dad Osman
brought their five children to Canada in
1997, from war-torn Somalia, hoping
for a prosperous future for them here.
The Queen Elizabeth Secondary grad
was out celebrating a friends birthday
when they came across another group
of friends whod been in a fight at the
Chevron gas station at 96th Avenue
and 128th Street in Cedar Hills.
Police say the fight started after a man
from another group spat and some
of his spit hit the pant leg of one of
Halanes friends.
Halane was down the street, in a
different car, and had nothing to do
with the gas station incident. He
apparently looked up from his front
passenger seat, as bullets flew from a
passing car, and was hit in the neck,
severing his spinal cord and rendering
him quadriplegic until he died of
kidney failure on March 25, 2012, at
the age of 24.
Osman Halane said his son hovered
between death and life for six years.
For six years he was paralyzed, and
he died, Osman said in December,
contemplating the horror of his sons
fate.
A lot of disaster we passed, and
nightmare.

travellers penalized recently for
flouting the rules around bringing

importing dairy products specifically,
cheese without an import declaration.
Two shipments one with 235
undeclared boxes of cheese and
another with 198 were intercepted at
the Pacific Highway border in South
Surrey.
Oliveira, according to the related B.C.
Supreme Court judgment, was found to
have violated the rules on 10 occasions
between Jan. 1, 2005 and Jan. 16, 2010.
He "imported cheese and either failed
to report it entirely and had no permit
or import declaration, or underreported
the amount of cheese contained in a
shipment," states the reasons for judgment.
The unreported cheese alone weighed
12,899 kilograms and was worth more
than US$130,000. Underreported
shipments added another 5,825 kg of
cheese to the total.
Both of the shipments intercepted at
the South Surrey border were reported

as containing only grapes or grape
juice, and in 2008, CBSA assessed De
Oliveira a $7,625 fine equal to 20 per
cent of the undeclared value.
Crown calculated the total duty
evaded over the five-year period at
$461,917.65.
"At the time Mr. De Oliveira committed
these offences, he was voluntarily
participating in a system to protect the
Canadian cheese industry and, by flouting
it, he unfairly competed with people who
followed the rules," the judgment states.
"He also removed the ability of health
inspectors to ensure the cheese he was
importing met health standards."
According to the judgment, Oliveira
was several days into a 20-day trial
when he entered guilty pleas to the two
counts.
His case was highlighted by the
CBSA last Friday as a reminder of the
potential consequences of failing to
declare food, plant or animal products.
Travellers were also reminded that
a ban on all birds, raw poultry and
poultry by-products that are not fully
cooked, including raw eggs and raw pet
foods that was put in place Jan. 8 for
products from Oregon and Washington
State remains in effect.

US President Barack Obama Guest Of Honour At

India's Republic Day Parade
Barack Obama has become the first US

president to be chief guest at India's
Republic Day parade, a day after
hailing a new era of friendship between
the world's biggest democracies.
The invitation to the annual celebration
of the birth of modern India is one
of the biggest honours the country
can bestow on a foreign leader and
underscores the growing closeness
between president Obama and India's
Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Security has been clearly present at
the parade, a colourful display of
India's military and cultural diversity
showcasing everything from tanks and
state-of-the-art weaponry to camels
and traditional dancers.
The parade celebrates the adoption in
1950 of the Indian Constitution, the
day that India became a republic, three
years after gaining independence from
Britain.
The show-stopper is considered
the Border Security Force on their
brightly-decorated camels, and the
parade also included carnival-style
floats and a human pyramid atop
moving motorbikes.
Prime Minister Modi, who issued the
invitation via Twitter saying he hoped
to "have a friend over", watched the
parade with President Obama from
behind a bulletproof glass enclosure.
Roads were closed around the area,
which was declared a no-fly zone, and
snipers were positioned on rooftops
along the route, where 15,000 new
CCTV cameras have been installed.
Grey skies and light drizzle failed to
dampen the mood of spectators who
had gathered hours before the twohour spectacle was due to begin.

A gas tank lorry has exploded outside

a maternity and children's hospital
in Mexico City causing dozens of
casualties.
The explosion, on the western edge of
Mexico City, was so large that much of
the building was destroyed.
It is not clear how many people died.
Officials initially said up to seven
people had been killed by the blast.
The mayor of Mexico City later
reduced the death toll to two, saying a
woman and baby had died.
About 100 people were believed to
be inside the hospital at the time of
the blast, and dozens of victims were
injured by flying glass.
Rescuers are at the scene, searching for
anyone who might be trapped under
rubble and twisted metal.
Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said
the blast was caused by a leak in the
hose carrying gas from the truck to the
hospital kitchen.
The tanker workers had been struggling

to repair the hose for about 15 to 20
minutes, according to reports.
As they worked, a large cloud of gas
began to form outside the hospital,
reports said.
Eyewitness Agustin Herrera, a
66-year-old anesthesiologist, told the
Associated Press news agency that the
workers shouted for firefighters, but
then there was a massive explosion.
At least 54 people were injured, 22 of
them children.
Another eyewitness, Ismael Garcia,
told AP there had been a "super
explosion".
He added: "Fortunately, we were able
to get eight babies out."
There have been a number of other
fatal gas explosions in Mexico over
recent years.
In February 2013, 37 people died in
a blast at the headquarters of the state
energy firm Pemex.
They also extended a defence pact

and agreed to enhance cooperation on
climate change. But the focus was on
the warming of relations after a tense
diplomatic row in late 2013, rather
than specific policy announcements.
Mr Modi's election in May 2014 was a
potential headache for the US, which
had blacklisted the Hindu nationalist
for more than a decade after deadly
communal riots in Gujarat when he
was state chief minister.
He was only brought in from the
cold last February when the then US
Ambassador Nancy Powell travelled to
Gujarat once it appeared Mr Modi was
likely to end the centre-left Congress
party's 10-year rule.
Nonetheless Mr Modi has gone out of
his way to welcome the US president,
breaking with protocol to meet him on
the tarmac when he arrived on Sunday
and inviting him to co-host a radio
phone-in.
The two leaders made a joint address to
company bosses in an event organised
by the US-India Business Council.
Mr Modi is seeking to attract global
business to manufacture in India to
fulfill his election pledged of creating
enough jobs for the burgeoning young
population.
US Ambassador Richard Verma said
before President Obama's arrival that
trade was now running at around
$US100 billion a year, five times the
level of a decade ago, and saw no reason
it couldn't grow by another five times.
Mr Obama had been scheduled to visit
the Taj Mahal with First Lady Michelle
Obama, but his trip has been cut short
to allow him to travel on to Saudi
Arabia and pay his respects following
the death of King Abdullah.

Italy Dad Who Put Girls

On Diet Convicted
An Italian father who forced his two daughters to go on a diet and practice ski
at competitive level because he thought they were "fat" has been found guilty
of psychological abuse and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment.
The 53-year-old man from Turin,
in north-west Italy, was reported to
authorities by his separated wife. The
couple's daughters had complained to
her about their father, telling her that
they no longer wanted to see him.
The news agency quoted the father's
lawyer, who did not want to be named,
as saying that his client had expressed
"normal" concerns for his daughters'
wellbeing. An appeal against the ruling

by the Turin court is to be lodged.
Due to privacy laws, Italian media did
not provide details about the daughters'
weight.
The man was not expected to be
imprisoned, as in Italy people who are
given short jail terms, especially if they
have no previous criminal record, are
normally given suspended sentences.

French Court Stops Child

From Being Named Nutella
A French court has stopped parents

from naming their baby girl Nutella
after the hazelnut spread, ruling that it
would make her the target of derision.
The judge ordered that the child be
called Ella instead.
He said in his ruling that the name
Nutella was the trade name of a
spread that is commonplace in Gallic
homes.
"And it is contrary to the child's interest
to have a name that can only lead to
teasing or disparaging thoughts," he
pronounced.
French parents are usually free to
choose the names of their children, but
local prosecutors are empowered to
report what they deem to be unsuitable
names to a family court.
The parents in the case on Monday
did not attend the court hearing, so the
judge decided in their absence that Ella
was a more appropriate name.
There have been several cases involving
children's names in France since 1993,

when parents were finally given the
freedom to name their children as they
pleased, including:
A couple who wanted to call their
daughter Fraise (Strawberry) which
a judge also ruled could result in
the child being teased. The baby
instead was renamed Fraisine, a
name popular in the 19th century

try and stop French car makers
Renault from using the same name

Cedric Renault argued that if

fended off legal action to prevent
them from naming their daughter

Saudi Arabian air force sergeant Mazen

Alotaibi appeared in court Jan. 28.
A Saudi air force sergeant convicted in
the rape of a 13-year-old boy at a Las
Vegas casino hotel was sentenced on
Wednesday to 35 years to life in prison
for the crime, a court spokeswoman said.
Mazen Alotaibi, 25, was found guilty
in Las Vegas in 2013 of kidnapping,
burglary, coercion, lewdness on a child
and sexual assault on a minor over a
2012 New Years Eve attack.
Prosecutors say Alotaibi, who was
visiting Las Vegas while temporarily
stationed at Lackland Air Force Base
in Texas, lured a then-13-year-old boy

to a room at the Circus Circus hotel and
sexually assaulted him.
Under the sentence imposed in a Las
Vegas court, Alotaibi is not eligible for
parole for a state-mandated 35 years,
according to court spokeswoman
Mary Ann Price. If he is released, he
will be required to be under periodic
supervision, Price said.
The judge did not sentence Alotaibi
for his conviction for coercion, and a
court hearing for the judge to impose a
sentence on that count is scheduled for
Monday, Price said.

Drug That Cures Allergies And

Cold May Help Treat Cancer
Scientists
have
found
that
antihistamines, which is mainly used to
treat allergies, runny noses, itching and
insect bites and stings, may play a role
in warding off tumors as well.
A new research report suggests that
the drug may have significant anticancer properties as they interfere
with the function of myeloid derived
suppressor cell that is known to reduce
the body's ability to fight tumors by
interfering with the activity of cells.
Daniel H. Conrad, Ph.D., from Virginia
Commonwealth said that though the
research drew a connection between
two diseases that aren't commonly
linked: allergy and cancer, it's important
to realize that this connection is new
and needed more research before they
could confirm if antihistamines could
be used effectively in cancer therapies.
Conrad and his colleagues examined
two groups of mice that involve
myeloid derived suppressor cells,

where the first group was infected with
a rodent intestinal helminth to simulate
a strong allergic response. Then they
were injected with myeloid derived
suppressor cells and treated with antihistamines, cetirizine or cimetidine.
Treatment with these anti-histamines
reversed the effects of myeloid derived
suppressor cells.
The second group of mice had tumors
and were injected with myeloid derived
suppressor cells and treated with the
antihistamine, cimetidine. In this
group, the antihistamine also reversed
the enhanced tumor growth normally
seen with myeloid derived suppressor
cell injection. Finally, the scientists
examined blood from patients with
allergy symptoms and found that these
patients had increased circulating
myeloid derived suppressor cells over
non-allergic controls.
Having An Avocado A
Day Could Lower Risk Of
Heart Disease
Avocados are known to be a nutrientdense food, high in monounsaturated

fatty acids. Previous studies have
suggested that avocados are a
cholesterol-lowering food, but this
is the first study -- to the researchers'
knowledge -- to look at health
implications of avocados beyond
monounsaturated fatty acids.
One avocado each day as part of a
moderate-fat, cholesterol-lowering diet
compared to a comparable moderatefat diet without an avocado provides
additional LDL (low-density lipoproteins)
lowering affects, which benefit CVD risk.
The colleagues tested three different
diets, all designed to lower cholesterol:
a lower-fat diet, consisting of 24
percent fat, and two moderate fat diets,
with 34 percent fat.
The researchers tested the diets with
45 healthy, overweight adults between
the ages of 21 and 70. Compared to the
participants' baseline measurements,
all three diets significantly lowered
LDL -- also known as bad cholesterol

-- as well as total cholesterol.
However, participants experienced an
even greater reduction in LDL and total
cholesterol while on the avocado diet,
compared to the other two diets, the
researchers report.
The avocado diet decreased bad
cholesterol by 13.5 mg/dL, while LDL
was decreased by 8.3 mg/dL on the
moderate-fat diet and by 7.4 mg/dL on
the low-fat diet.
Using avocados as a condiment was a
great way to incorporate avocados into
meals -- for instance, putting a slice or
two on a sandwich or using chopped
avocado in a salad or to season
vegetables.
The researchers noted that further
research will need to be conducted
with a larger and more diverse study
sample and to explore further how
high-density lipoproteins -- good
cholesterol -- might be affected by a
diet that includes avocados.

Hay Fever Treatment:

Eight Ways To Combat
This Allergy
IF YOU don't suffer from allergies, it's easy to sniff at people who take time
off work due to hay fever.
But this condition (the correct name
of which is allergic rhinitis - "hay"
has nothing to do with it) can be
debilitating.
The study shows one in five people
suffer hay fever, which can cause sinus
infections, loss of sleep, issues with
asthma and can even affect learning in
children.
It can strike at any time as trees, grasses
and plants pollinate throughout the year.
However, as nature bursts into action
for spring and the air becomes filled
with pollen, this is most commonly the
time when people's immune systems
react, resulting in symptoms such as
itchy eyes, sneezing and a runny nose.
So how can you stop this allergy from
ruining your day? Health experts reveal
their tried and tested treatments.
1. NOSE SPRAY
"Intranasal corticosteroid sprays are
one of the most effective treatments
for allergic rhinitis," immunology and
allergy specialist Dr Sara Barnes says.
These contain steroids that reduce
inflammation of the nasal membranes
to keep the nose clear. You can buy
them over the counter, but stronger
sprays require a prescription.
2. IMMUNOTHERAPY
Allergen immunotherapy requires
long-term commitment but gives longterm results, Barnes says, adding that
it's typically offered to anyone over the
age of five with severe allergic rhinitis.
ASCIA says it involves "regular
administration of gradually increasing
doses of allergen extracts, as an
injection or as drops or tablets under
the tongue". Treatment usually lasts for
three to five years, but ASCIA says you
should see clear improvements in the
first season.
3. PROBIOTICS
A review in the North American
Journal of Medical Sciences reveals
that probiotics can help treat hay
fever. Naturopath Victoria O'Sullivan
explains that 70 to 80 per cent of our
immune system is in our digestive
system, so taking a probiotic such as
Lactobacillus rhamnosus can ease
symptoms.
4. ANTIHISTAMINES
Your immune system produces
histamine to protect cells from infection,
but in the case of an allergic reaction,
it mistakes something harmless such
as pollen as a threat. Antihistamines
are also available without prescription
and they work by preventing histamine
from affecting your cells. Barnes says
they work well for sneezing and itchy
eyes, but aren't as effective as sprays
for treating a blocked nose or sinuses.
5. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET
Hay fever is driven by inflammatory
mediators, nutritionist Brittany Darling

says, so reducing inflammatory foods
such as sugars, refined grains and
flours, and hydrogenated or seed oils
can help. Several studies suggest
the bioflavonoid quercetin (found in
citrus fruits, berries and pineapple) has
anti-inflammatory properties. "These
are also high in vitamin C - nature's
antihistamine," Darling says. She adds
that a diet high in coloured veg and
fruit can ease symptoms, as can the
anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids
found in fish, chia, avocado and olive
oil.
6. HERBS
There are several herbal remedies that
can ease symptoms, O'Sullivan says.
"Scutellaria baicalensis [commonly
known as baical sckullcap] contains
compounds that act as antihistamines,"
she says. "Albizzia lebbeck also has
anti-allergic properties and is a great
herb for the sinus and hay fever; perilla
is used to treat hay fever, asthma and
sinusitis." Hay fever causes mucous
production, which leads to congestion
and can increase the risk of infection.
For this, she recommends horseradish
and garlic: "Horseradish acts like
a decongestant and drains excess
mucous from the nasal passage; garlic
acts like a natural antibiotic and can
have a 'drying out' effect on mucous."
7. ACUPUNCTURE
The World Health Organization
recognises acupuncture as an effective
treatment for about 30 conditions, and
2013 research found that it could ease
symptoms of hay fever. Researchers at
Charite-University in Germany gave
442 hay fever sufferers antihistamines.
A third were also given 12 acupuncture
sessions; another third were given
sham acupuncture. Those who had
acupuncture were found to have the
most improvement in symptoms,
although the benefits seemed to wear
off within eight weeks of treatment.
8. HOMEOPATHY
"Hay fever plays out differently in
different people, so treatment needs
to be tailor-made," homeopath Kylie
Seaton says. She recommends the
following: Allium cepa for a runny nose
that burns, with sore, inflamed nostrils,
runny eyes, sneezing attacks that leave
the nose blocked, symptoms that are
worse in the evening and a tickly
cough. Euphrasia for inflamed, burning
eyes that run and are sensitive to light,
a nose that runs like a tap but doesn't
burn, intense sneezing and symptoms
that ease at night. Sabadilla for episodes
of violent sneezing, itching in the nose
and throat, the constant feeling that a
sneeze is coming, runny nose and eyes,
and tears with every sneeze.

Health
Home Remedies For

Gout
Gout can be treated at home with

some simple household remedies.
Most of these remedies are very
effective in treating all types of gout.
The following are some of the most
effective remedies:* Cherries are very good in treating
people with gout. Cherries are rich
in vitamin C, which can help in
eliminating the gouty deposits. A
person with gout must consume about
ten to fifteen cherries in a day to get
relief from recurrent attacks of gout.
Cherry juice is also very beneficial.
Drinking a whole glass of cherry juice
at least once a day proves to be very
beneficial.
* Apples are also very good for the
treatment of gout. A person with gout
complaints must eat at least one apple
per day for obtaining relief.
* If you have gout in your toes, then
the following remedy can be used
to seek relief. Take one-third cup of
ground ginger in a bath tub and soak
your affected foot in it for 30 minutes.
This will cause you to sweat and uric
acid will be eliminated. After this,
make sure that you bathe thoroughly or
ginger may cause skin irritation after
the body dries.
* Squeeze the juice of half a lemon in a
glassful of water. Drink this juice three
times a day in morning, noon and night
at regular intervals. Lemon is also a
very rich source of vitamin C, which
helps in dissolving the gouty deposits.
* Drink 6-8 ounces glasses of fluid
a day. This will not only reduce gout
attacks a day but also wash out the
urate crystals from the system and
prevent you from developing kidney
stones.
* Take two teaspoons of organic apple
cider vinegar with two teaspoons of
honey (twice a day). Within a few
hours the pain will be minimized.
* Bananas serve a good remedy for
curing gout. Consume 3-4 bananas a
day. Bananas are rich in minerals like
phosphorus which can chemically
react with the uric acid deposits and
eliminate them from the system.
* Increase the intake of citrus fruits,
berries, tomatoes, green pepper and
leafy green vegetables which have
high content of vitamin C. They reduce
inflammation produced in gouts.
* Simple water can also help to a great
extent in curing gout. Drink excess of
water that is eight to ten glasses per day
as they will cause the toxic uric acid to
flow away and this will reduce its level.
* Soak the feet in Epsom salt if the
pain is concentrated in big toe. Add
two cups of Epsom salt in warm water;
soak the feet in it and keep it till the
water starts losing its heat.
* Black cherry really works wonders

with gout pains. Drink concentrated
juice of black cherry at regular intervals
throughout the day. This will relieve
you from the pain.
* Increase the amount of strawberries
in your diet. Strawberries are rich
sources of vitamin C. However, the
strawberries must be fresh, and several
of them must be eaten per day.
* If you want a quick remedy for your
gout pains, then a very convenient way
is to apply ice on the affected regions.
This will reduce the pains immediately,
but this remedy is only temporary. You
will need some other remedy to remove
the deposits from the internal system.
* Boil one tea-spoon of pepper in one
cup of vinegar and one cup of water,
dab this mixture onto the painful joint
and leave it for 2-3 hours.
* Eat several cloves of raw garlic daily.
Mince the garlic and add it to black
cherry juice for better effects. This
remedy works very well if you have
the garlic cherry paste in the early
morning.
Avoiding Gout
There are some simple measures one
can take to avoid the onset of gout. The
following is a list of those preventive
methods:(i) Most important of all preventions
for gout is to keep the weight under
check. This keeps your digestive
system working fine and ensures
proper expulsion of the waste products
from the body.
(ii) If you have an obesity problem, then
you must work severely at bringing the
weight down to a manageable level.
This can be done through exercise and
maintaining physical fitness.
(iii) Eat a proper balanced diet and do
not consume the excess of any one kind
of food. Include several fresh fruits in
your diet. Hot foods must be avoided.
Avoid lean meats and organ meats.
Restrict your intake of poultry and fish.
(iv) Keep all the vital parts of your
internal body clean. This is because
toxic depositions anywhere in the
body could be an influential factor in
causing deposits of gout to occur in the
joints. The main parts you must focus
on are dental hygiene, proper and clean
digestive system, kidneys and liver.
(v) Avoid alcohol and smoking, as they
can precipitate the conditions of gouts.
Beer and distilled spirits are very
harmful for gout, and their seriousness
increases much more if the person
indulges in binge drinking of these
drinks.
(vi) Do not keep your joints fixed in
one position for a long period of time.
Maintain some amount of movement
in them all the time.

Day Napping In Middle

Age Boosts Memory
By the time people reach middle age,

more sleep during the day such as an
afternoon nap helps the memory and
protects against its decline as long as
they night-time sleep is not skipped, a
study has found. Sound sleep in young
and middle-aged people helps memory
and learning.
"As people grow older, they wake
up more at night and have less deep
sleep and dream sleep - both of
which are important for overall brain
functioning," said Michael K Scullin,
director of Baylor University's sleep
neuroscience and cognition laboratory.
If a person lives 85 years, he or she
may sleep nearly 250,000 hours - more
than 10,000 full days.
"People sometimes disparage sleep as
'lost' time. But sleeping well is linked
to better mental health, improved
cardiovascular health and fewer, less
severe disorders and diseases of many
kinds," Scullin noted.

For the study, researchers' extensive
review began with studies as long
ago as 1967, including more than
approximately 200 studies measuring
sleep and mental functioning.
Participants aged 18 to 29 were
categorised as young; aged 30 to 60 as
middle-aged; and older than 60 as old.
Participants were asked how many
hours they typically slept, how long
it took them to go to sleep, how often
they woke up in the middle of the night
and how sleepy they felt during the
day.
The research also correlated results
from numerous brain-wave studies
and experiments dealing with sleep
deprivation, napping and sleep
intervention such as sleep medications.
"It is the difference between investing
up front rather than trying to
compensate later," Scullin concluded.
Daily Consumption Of
Oatmeal
A new study has revealed that eating

whole grain foods can cut your risk
of premature death by 9 percent and
eating a small bowl of oatmeal may be
the secret to a longer life.
Harvard
University
researchers
reviewed two large studies that
followed more than 100,000 people
who were periodically quizzed about
what they ate and how they lived for
more than 14 years, as reported.
The study found that the folks who ate
at least 33 grams of whole grains daily
-- equivalent to a bowl of oatmeal -cut their risk of premature death by 9
percent compared to those who barely
ate whole grains at all.
The researchers said that the risk of
dying from heart disease was slashed
by 15 percent, though eating whole
grains didn't seem to lower the risk of
dying from cancer.

Qi Sun, an assistant professor with the
Harvard School of Public Health and
one of the study's authors, said that
whole grains may protect the heart
by lowering blood sugar and insulin
levels and this type of property could
improve insulin resistance to lower
the risk of cardiovascular disease and
diabetes.
Sun added that weight loss and other
healthy nutrients may add to the health
benefits of whole grains. He also said
the studies may not have yielded
enough information about cancer
to draw any conclusions. Previous
studies have demonstrated a lower
risk of colorectal cancers with high
consumption of foods made from
grains where the germ and bran have
been left intact, he noted.

Parenting Skills - Tips For Raising Teens
Helping an adolescent become a

caring, independent and responsible
adult is no small task. Understand the
parenting skills you need to help guide
your teen.
Adolescence can be a confusing time of
change for teens and parents alike. But
while these years can be difficult, there's
plenty you can do to nurture your teen
and encourage responsible behavior.
Use these parenting skills to deal with
the challenges of raising a teen.
Show your love
One of the most important parenting

skills needed for raising healthy teens
involves positive attention. Spend time
with your teen to show him or her that
you care. Listen to your teen when he
or she talks, and respect your teen's
feelings. Also, keep in mind that only
reprimanding your teen and never
giving him or her any justified praise
can prove demoralizing. For every time
you discipline or correct your teen, try
to compliment him or her twice.
If your teen doesn't seem interested in
bonding, keep trying. Regularly eating
meals together might be a good way
to connect. Better yet, invite your teen
to prepare the meal with you. On days
when you're having trouble talking to
your teen, consider each doing your
own thing in the same space. Being
near each other could lead to the start
of a conversation. You might also
encourage your teen to talk to other
supportive adults, such as an uncle or
older cousin, for guidance.
Minimize pressure
Don't pressure your teen to be like you
were or wish you had been at his or her
age. Give your teen some leeway when
it comes to clothing and hairstyles. It's
natural for teens to rebel and express
themselves in ways that differ from
their parents.
If your teen shows an interest in body
art such as tattoos and piercings
make sure he or she understands
the possible health risks, such as skin
infections, allergic reactions, and
hepatitis B and C. Also talk about
potential permanence or scarring.
As you allow your teen some selfexpression, remember that you can still
maintain high expectations for your
teen and the kind of person he or she
will become.
Encourage cyber safety
Get to know the technology your teen
is using and the websites he or she
visits. Keep the computer in a common
area in your home. Remind your teen
to practice these basic safety rules:
-Don't share personal information
online.
-Don't share passwords.
-Don't get together with someone you
meet online.
-Don't use texts or other tools to gossip,
bully or damage someone's reputation.
-Don't text or chat on the phone while
driving.
Talk to a parent or trusted adult if an
interaction or message makes you
uncomfortable.
Set limits
To encourage your teen to behave well,
discuss what behavior is acceptable
and unacceptable at home, at school
and elsewhere. Create consequences
for how your teen behaves. When
setting limits:
Avoid ultimatums. Your teen might
interpret an ultimatum as a challenge.
Be clear and concise. Rather than
telling your teen not to stay out late,
set a specific curfew. Keep your rules
short and to the point.
Put rules in writing. Use this technique
to counter a selective memory.

Be prepared to explain your decisions.
Your teen might be more likely to
comply with a rule when he or she
understands its purpose.
Be reasonable. Avoid setting rules
your teen can't possibly follow. A
chronically messy teen might have
trouble immediately maintaining a
spotless bedroom.
Be flexible. As your teen demonstrates
more responsibility, grant him or her
more freedom. If your teen shows poor
judgment, impose more restrictions.
Not sure if you're setting reasonable
limits? Talk to your teen, other parents
and your teen's doctor. Whenever
possible, give your teen a say in
establishing the rules that he or she is
expected to follow.
Prioritize rules
While it's important to consistently
enforce your rules, you can occasionally
make exceptions when it comes to
matters such as homework habits, TV
watching and bedtime. Prioritizing
rules will give you and your teen a
chance to practice negotiating and
compromising. Before negotiating
with your teen, however, consider
how far you're willing to bend. Don't
negotiate when it comes to restrictions
imposed for your teen's safety, such as
substance abuse, sexual activity and
reckless driving. Make sure your teen
knows early on that you won't tolerate
tobacco, alcohol or other drug use.
Enforce consequences
Enforcing consequences can be tough
but your teen needs you to be his or
her parent, not a pal. Being too lenient
might send the message that you don't
take your teen's behavior seriously,
while being too harsh can cause
resentment.
Consider these methods when

corrective action is called for:
Skip the drama. Calmly explain
the unacceptable behavior and the
consequences. If your teen starts to
overheat or melt down, put off the
conversation and explain why. Tell your
teen that you'll talk to him or her when
the whining, sulking or yelling stops.
Ignore your teen in the meantime.
Correct but don't scold. Make sure
you reprimand your teen's behavior,
not your teen. Avoid using a sarcastic,
demeaning or disrespectful tone. Also,
avoid reprimanding your teen in front
of his or her friends.
Assign more work. Give your teen
additional household tasks.
Impose additional restrictions. Take
away a privilege or possession that's
meaningful to your teen, such as
computer time or a cellphone.
Ask your teen to suggest a consequence.
Your teen might have an easier time
accepting a consequence if he or she
played a role in deciding it.
Be consistent when you enforce
limits. Whatever disciplinary tactic
you choose, relate the consequences
to the broken rule and deliver them
immediately. Limit punishments to a
few hours or days to make them most
effective.
Also, avoid punishing your teen when
you're angry. Likewise, don't impose
penalties you're not prepared to carry
out and punish only the guilty party,
not other family members. Never use
physical harm to discipline your teen.
Set a positive example
Remember, teens learn how to behave
by watching their parents. Your actions
generally speak louder than your
words. Set a positive example and your
teen will likely follow your lead.
Caring For A Baby With Constipation

Infants will pass a thick, green-black
stool (meconium) in the first 24 to
36 hours of life. As feedings become
established, the stool becomes more
yellow-green. Most infants have stools
daily, but some have them only every
two to three days. If that infant is
feeding well, has soft stools and isn't
uncomfortable, she's probably not
constipated.
Formula-fed babies tend to have
drier, less frequent stools than
breastfed babies. Breastfed babies
are rarely constipated. Just after
birth it seems they have a stool
every time they eat. But after a
few weeks the pattern can change
to a stool every two or three days
or even once a week. If the baby is
not uncomfortable and the stools are
soft, there's probably no problem.

Even if your baby strains to pass a stool,
he may not be constipated. Babies often
grunt, become red in the face and pull
up their legs when passing a stool. If
it's soft and passes without pain, these
behaviors are normal. If your infant
appears to be having difficulty, curling
the knees up against the baby's chest
might help.
If your baby's diet changes or he's sick,
the stool pattern may also vary. If stools
become drier, try adding a little water
or juice to the infant's diet. For older
babies, adding fruit or vegetables can
make stools less dry. For a formula-fed
infant, ask your healthcare provider
about changing the formula.
When your infant hasn't passed a
stool in the usual time and seems
uncomfortable, try lubricating a

rectal thermometer and holding it in
the rectum for three to five minutes.
Inserting a small piece of glycerine
suppository may also help. If it doesn't,
or you keep having to do this, consult
your baby's healthcare provider. True
constipation can be a sign of a more
serious illness or an obstruction.
Never give an infant an enema or
a laxative unless your healthcare
provider advises this. These treatments

can cause life-threatening shifts in a
young infant's fluid/electrolyte balance.
When to Contact Your Healthcare
Provider
* Your infant is feeding poorly or
vomiting.
* There is abdominal swelling.
* Your baby is in pain.
* There is blood in your child's stool.
* Home remedies don't help.

Foods That Will Make You Gain Weight

It seems like North America is obsessed
with losing weight, but what happens if
you want to gain weight? Some people
are naturally quite small and they too
feel the effects of bullying.
It can be very hard for a person
with a fast metabolism to gain body
weight. For these individuals, even a
few pounds can make the difference.
Doctors say that having too low body
weight can cause health issues like
organ damage, lack of menstruation in
women, and bone density loss to name
a few.
Individuals who are recovering from
eating disorders may also be interested
in learning how to gain weight a
healthy way. It is certainly true that
drinking sugary sodas and eating
french fries all day will make you gain
weight, but your body may suffer the
consequences of poor diet and lack of
nutrition. Nutritionists recommend that
the best way to gain healthy weight is
by eating natural, whole foods and
paying attention to caloric intake.
Here are some healthy foods that when
eaten right can help you gain healthy
weight
1. Lean Red Meat
If you are trying to gain weight, enjoy
some lean red meat. Steak contains
a ton of protein and iron. But food
experts warn that not all steak cuts are
made equal. You want the fatty cuts
where the meat is marbled. These cuts
of meat will contain more calories, but
theyll also be way more delicious too!
Look for rib-eye, t-bone, New York
strip, and beef tenderloin. Red meat
is high in cholesterol, so most food
professionals dont recommend it as
part of a healthy diet more than a few
times per week. Combining it with an
unhealthy diet high in saturated fats
could cause health effects.
2. Real Nut Butters
Natural peanut butter is packed with
protein and fats, making it a great
choice for people trying to gain weight
the healthy way. One tablespoon
contains around 100 calories and has 4
grams of protein. Real peanut butter is
also high in folate, magnesium, vitamin
E, and vitamin B3. You can enjoy
peanut butter mixed into oatmeal,
topping a slice of whole grain bread,
or as a dip for apples. When picking
a brand of peanut butter, try to find
varieties that are all natural, meaning
they dont have a ton of sugar and other
ingredients added.
3. Whole Fat Milk
Dietitians say that one simple
substitution you can make when trying
to gain weight is swapping your skim
milk for whole milk. Its only 60
calories more a glass as the fat is left
in. When you keep the fat in milk,
the vitamins and nutrients stay in the

solution. Whole milk is high in vitamin
D and A. Add whole milk where
ever you would use skim, such as in
oatmeal, cereal, sauces, or just as a
glass of milk. If you enjoy milk in your
coffee, you can also use cream here.
4. Tropical Fruit
An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but tropical fruit can help you gain
weight. Fruits like mango, papaya,
bananas, and pineapple are amazing
choices according to food experts.
Why? They are full of natural sugars
and can give you great energy. Adding
servings of fruit to your diet is a great
and healthy way to gain weight. If you
find it difficult to eat enough fruits and
vegetables in a day, try blending them
to make a delicious smoothie.
5. Avocado
These delicious green vegetables are an
excellent way to add heart-healthy fats
to your diet. One half of an avocado
contains 140 calories, but also contain
high levels of potassium, folic acid, and
vitamin E. Avocado also are filled with
B vitamins. Enjoy avocado added to
salads, cut up on meat, or even spread
on toast. Mash half a ripe avocado onto
bread and season with salt and pepper.
Delicious!
6. Natural Granola
Natural granola with no added refined
sugar is a great cereal to enjoy if you
are trying to gain weight. This tasty
snack is made from rolled oats, sugar,
and healthy fats (like nuts and coconut
oil). More dried fruit and nuts can also
be added. You can buy granola premade, but its easy to make at home
too! Enjoy granola topped with thick
yogurt, fruit, and a drizzle of honey.
This breakfast will be high in protein
from the yogurt, filled with fiber from
the oatmeal, and sugar from the fruit.
7. Whole Wheat Bread
Nutritionists say that eating healthy
bread products is a great way to start
gaining weight. If youre adding
bread to your diet, look for whole
grains. While white bread is what we
all grew up with, its not the best for
your health. By refining the wheat so
much, we strip the nutrients out of it.
Instead, opt for whole grain varieties.
These contain a fiber and minerals that
are missing in white bread. It will help
you stay full for longer, and give you
sustained energy.
8. Vegetable Oils
Nothing beats the taste of oil for
cooking or in salad dressings. Extra
virgin olive oil, safflower oil, coconut
oil, and peanut oil are full of flavor
and heart-healthy calories when
enjoyed in moderation. Plus, most oils
are safe to use when cooking at high
temperatures, unlike butter which will
burn. Many vegetable based oils also

have concentrated flavor, so you can
use less when cooking.
9. Nuts
Nuts are a great snack for gaining
weight. According to foodies, they
are full of fat and nutrients, but also
contain a great deal of fiber. Eating
only a handful of nuts can keep you
full for hours. Not all nuts are equal
for fiber though. Almonds are a great
choice, while macadamia nuts are
very high in fat. Mixed nuts are a
great option because you can get the
nutritional benefit of many varieties
in one snack. Add nuts to your salads,
on top of Asian dishes, and in your
breakfast cereals and oatmeal.
10. Cheese
Cheese is one of North Americas
favorite foods. And for good reason, you
can add cheese into almost any dish. It
has all the nutritional benefits of milk
products, but most cheeses are high in fat,
making it a good product to have if you

are trying to gain weight. Cheese comes
in many delicious varieties, so pairing a
cheese to your meal is a fun experience
in moderation. Try goat cheese with
eggs, Swiss with roasted chicken, and
Parmesan on top of asparagus. On its
own, cheese also makes a great snack
because its high in protein.
11. Potatoes
One of the first things people cut when
trying to lose weight are carbohydrates.
Thus, add them back to your diet when
you are trying to gain weight! The key
is choosing carbohydrates that have
nutritional value. Potatoes are a great
choice because theyre high in protein
(really!), full of fiber, and contain a ton
of vitamin C. Eat potatoes with the skin
on for optimum nutrition. Once theyre
peeled, the protein is cut in half. Also,
you can mix it up with mini reds and
sweet potatoes that pack more flavor
than white potatoes.

Anti-Ageing Tips For Oily

Skin
Oily skinned women have typically less lines and wrinkles visible as compared
to women with normal and dry skin. Though there are a few benefits of
having oily skin, here's how you can prevent your skin from ageing faster
1. Apply sunscreen regularly
Whatever the skin type, using sunscreen
is a must. If protecting your skin from
damage caused due to sun was never
your priority, start now. Sunscreen will
protect your skin from sun and you'll
look younger. Most importantly, go
for sunscreens for oily skin to avoid
clogged pores.
2. Don't wash your face too often
Don't over cleanse your face even
though your oily skin texture may
tempt you into washing your face again
and again. Yes you may want your skin
to look fresh, clean and oil-free but
washing your face several times in
a day actually leads to increase in oil
production. Also, over-cleansing may
make your skin dry. You can wash
your face twice a day and use blotting
papers during the day to keep oil away.
3. Nourish your skin
Antioxidants help prevent oxidising
and help your skin stay supple. So
antioxidants is certainly something
that you need to incorporate in your
skin-care routine. Opt for oil-free
moisturisers that contain antioxidants.
Also follow a diet that includes berries,
beans and veggies to feed your skin
4. Get adequate sleep
Sleep is extremely important not only

for your skin but your overall health.
This doesn't mean you sleep all day,
just get adequate sleep of around 8 to
9 hours. Also, sleep on your back as
sleeping on your face can wrinkle the
skin and age skin at a faster rate.
5. Consume Omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids revitalises your
skin and repairs it from inside. Eat
foods rich on omega-3 fatty acids like
salmon, halibut, eggs, soy milk and
yogurt. They are not only delicious but
also do a lot of benefit to your skin.
6. Avoid sugar, smoke and alcohol
Quitting smoking is the best thing you
can give yourself as it not only damages
your health but also your skin. And if
you have a sweet tooth and indulge in
too many sweets, cut down on them.
Studies have shown that consuming
lots of sugar over long periods can
cause skin to age and dull due to a
process in our body called glycation.
Limit your consumption of candies
and eat healthy vegetables and fruits
instead. Also, drinking alcohol dilates
your blood vessels and increases blood
flow near the skin's surface which
makes your skin appear sallow. So
limit your consumption of alcohol.

Relationship
Things Women Always

Hide From Men
She'd tell you a million things to make you believe her undying love for you.
From what is known of peeking into
most women's diaries, the life of a
woman seems synonymous with the
life of a secret. What goes on inside a
girl's mind usually fails to agree with
her heart, leading her to hide a few
things, not because she's afraid, but
because she loves those things in her
personal space.
A survey carried out on a social media
website asked women - single and
committed - 'what would you hide
from your boyfriend'? At first, the
responses were few and far between.
Most women refrained from opening
up about their hidden secrets, which
clearly indicated that there's a lot to
hide! But, as their masks started to
unveil, the poll witnessed a rapid fire of
some of the most outrageous answers
given by bold and fearless ladies. Here
are the top five answers that were found
on the survey that every man should be
reading.
Flings-capades
While you may feel that your girl has

divulged her most intimate experiences
with you, she might be hiding her
share of "fun experiments". Most
women are afraid of being judged for
their character, while others felt that
sharing their 'dirty little secrets' would
make their current partner insecure and
jealous. Most men want to know, "Am
I better than him?" and women find this
very annoying.
Off the record girl-talk
You will never be able to break into

the most classified realm of girl talk
(unless you go undercover into a
girls' room) where some of the most
sizzling, spicy secrets are openly
discussed with graphic juicy details!
Most women who gave their opinions
said that they would never tell their
friend's secrets because it has nothing
to do with their relationship with the
guy. The inside scoop of a ladies night
is your girl's place to vent. Sorry, men
not allowed!
Make-Up kits
If you ever wondered how she manages

to look so pretty all day long, it is
obvious that you haven't seen where
she keeps all of her cosmetic backup. She wants you to keep wondering
where the prettiness comes from and
how it never goes. While some of you
may be smart enough to know it's the
make-up on her skin, your girl might
prefer to cover up her anti-ageing
cream, her under-eye makeup or her
pimple solutions!
Heart-tales of her ex
Virginia Woolf so aptly quoted, "Love,

the poet said, is a woman's whole
existence."You know that she had a
life pre-you. You know that she didn't
spend all her days in a girl dorm before
you saved your damsel in distress. And
now you want to know whether she still
feels anything about her past. However,
a woman's heart will have the deepest
of feelings that even she would never be
able to decode. From what we gathered
of the survey results, most women
hide their true feelings about the exbeau to save their current boyfriend
from getting hurt. Interestingly, there's
a flipside to this story! Some women
said that they purposefully mentioned
a few feelings about their exs to let the
current partner know that the bar is set
high for him.
Feelings about his kin
Every time a woman has expressed

her feelings about his sister being
petty or his mother being overtly
inquisitive, she's been accused of being
insensitively provocative! It's as if she's
trying to put him in a situation where he
would have to make a choice. Over the
years though, the entire race of fairer
sex has become cautious of loosening
their tongue over their true feelings for
his clan members. The reason they all
gave for camouflaging their opinions
about his family - 'We don't want to
be the ones to cause damage to the
relationship!'

Soha Ali Khan Weds Kunal The Mystery Behind Shahid

Kapoors Dilliwali Girlfriend
Kemmu
Actress Soha Ali Khan and Kunal

Kemmu finally exchanged vows.
The wedding took place at their
Khar residence in the presence of
a registrar and family members
like brother Saif Ali Khan, sisterin-law Kareena Kapoor and mother
Sharmila Tagore.
Soha had earlier shared that the
ceremony would be a "small wedding
in the presence of our family members".
The mehendi ceremony took place last

Friday that was attended by friends
including actress Neha Dhupia, who
had shared photographs of Soha who
was "chillin like a Villian" during the
pre-wedding function.
Soha, who believes that people need
to have "a sense of commitment,
maturity and infinite patience to make
a marriage last", got engaged to Kunal
in Paris last year.
This year seems to be although more special for Sasha because he is not only
sweeping away awards for his terrific performance in Haider but things are
going great for him personally too.
Bipasha Basu To Introduce

New Season Of 'Aahat'
Actress Bipasha Basu, who has done a

string of horror and supernatural films,
will reportedly make her small screen
appearance once again with an upcoming
season of horror TV show "Aahat".
According to a source, the actress has
been approached for the first episode
of the horror show aired on Sony
Entertainment Television channel.
"Bipasha, who has of late done a lot of
horror movies, has been approached to
narrate the introduction episode of the
upcoming season of the popular horror
show 'Aahat'," said a source.
She was previously seen in TV shows
like "Fear Files" and "Comedy Nights
with Kapil".
In an interview earlier, Bipasha had said
that she is happy with the tag of "horror
queen". She has been part of horror films
like "Raaz", "Aatma" and "Creature
3D" and more recently "Alone".
The show is likely to go on air midFebruary.
Shahid Kapoor, the B-town hunk has

finally found someone special. Yes, we
are saying that he is indeed dating a girl
and it seems this isnt just any other
woman in his life. We dunno much
about Shahids current ladylove except
for the fact that she is from Delhi and
has nothing to do with Bollywood.
Interestingly, the Shaandaar actor
met his Dilliwali girlfriend courtesy
his parents. Now how cool is that?
Well, we have some more dope on
Shahid and his mysterious Dilliwali
girlfriend. Our khoofiya khabroo has

told us that the two are even planning
to take their relationship one step
further. We hear the couple may end
up tying the knot next year. Yes, you
heard that right!
Guess SK is not only back in the rat
race professionally but he is at par
personally with other B-town couples
as well! Lets hope things work out for
the Udta Punjab actor this time around
because its the right time for him to
settle down.
Gulshan Grover To Make

Tamil Debut
Gulshan Grover, known for playing

negative characters in Hindi films like
"Ram Lakhan" and "Bullett Raja", will
be seen essaying an important role in
upcoming Tamil drama "Thanneer"
about the water crisis.
The film, which will be directed
by Vasanth Sai, has now been was
officially launched.
"I have immense respect for Vasanth
and have admired his work. I'm really
honoured to have got this opportunity to
work with him," Gulshan told reporters.
Based on a popular novel by
Ashokamithran, the film features
Chandini Sasha in the lead role.
The film's director said the film is "very
close to my heart" and he hopes "it
creates the awareness about water crisis".

Hema Malini To Appear As

'Dream Girl' Once Again
Reliving the past once again, veteran

actress Hema Malini will be appearing
and lending her voice to an album
based on her image as Bollywood's
'Dream Girl'.
Singer and fellow parliamentarian
Babul Supriyo came up with the idea
and soon they would record a duet
song at a studio in Mumbai.
"As a singer I have been discovered by
Babul... the whole credit goes to him,"
the 67-year-old actress told reporters.
She said the concept of this song was
interesting. Hema starred opposite
Dharmendra in 1977 film 'Dream Girl',
directed by Pramod Chakravorty. Sung
by the legendary Kishore Kumar, the
film's title song, which rejected her as a
dream girl, was an instant hit.
Explaining the concept of the song,
Babul said it was about how today's
youth was trying to pull back the dream
girl into this era.
"She comes back to show today's girl
what a dream girl is all about - in terms
of natural beauty, beauty of the mind,
no tantrums, simplicity, humility and
everything you could attribute to her,"
he said.
"A dream girl is not someone who can
be kept in a showcase. A dream girl
is today's material woman who can
handle everything. It is a Bible for
a young woman to understand how
happy a woman can be when she takes
up those difficult challenges," he said.
To be produced by Saregama, the lyrics
of the new song were being written
now and it would be a bilingual one in
Hindi and Bengali.

Babul said they would like Prime
Minister Narendra Modi to launch the
album in Delhi.
"If it can be launched by the Prime
Minister, why not? We are dreaming
about it," the BJP MP from Asansol
said.
The lyrics of the album would be by
Srijato and music composition by
Indradip Dasgupta.
Besides the 'Dream Girl' song, Hema
Malini, the BJP MP from Mathura, is
also re-recording two Bengali songs to
which she had rendered her voice 41
years ago and recalled how Kishore
Kumar had motivated her to record the
songs.
"Recording it after so many years...
the same song in the same scale is
very difficult. Your whole personality
changes, voice, scale everything
changes," she said.
Babul said they have recreated the old
songs to make it contemporary with
modern musical tracks using guitars
etc.
The songs were written by Mukul
Dutta and set to tune by none other
than Kishore Kumar.
All these songs were slated to be
released by Valentine's Day next
month.
Hema, who has donned multiple hats,
said the eagerness to learn new things
was still there in her and now she wants
to learn more of Sanskrit, learn how
to play the sitar and do a little bit of
painting as well.

kick-off next weekend at Westpac Stadium.
OFC President David Chung
Often I begin my monthly column
by extolling the progress we are
making in Oceania in terms of football
development on and off the pitch in our
closely knit region.
Sadly, such work shrinks into
insignificance following the sad
passing of Fiji U-17 international Shalit
Muni Reddy who died of accidental
drowning in Savaii, Samoa, this week.
It is a tragic event - a young boy playing
for the Fiji U-17 team, dreaming of
football glory, to be cut down in the
richness of youth leaves us all with sore
hearts, tears and prayers for Shalit's
family, friends, team-mates, coaches
and our dear colleagues at the Fiji FA.
Shalit had been playing for Fiji U-17
with distinction, he was a prospect
that undoubtedly would have had a
bright future in the game. Indeed, he
underlined that promise as a footballer
when he scored a goal in Fiji's 5-0 win
over the Cook Islands just over a week
ago. Everyone is still in disbelief that
Shalit Muni Reddy

something this tragic could happen to a
fine young man.
No words can fully express our grief
and dismay at seeing this happen, we
can only pass on all our thoughts and
prayers to the friends and family of
Shalit Muni Reddy and hope they will
get some strength from the out pouring
of love and support from everyone.
I understand that Shalit's body will be
repatriated to Nadi this week thanks
to the caring and diligent work of
Football Federation Samoa and the
local authorities. I believe a special
mention must be made for CEO
Michael Kapisi and his team for their
professionalism and warmth during
this time of tragedy.
At the OFC we continue to grieve at
what has happened, and we are sure the
Oceania football community will join
with us in also thinking of the Fiji FA,
Football Federation Samoa and all the
players, coaches and the family who
are affected by this sad event.

Escobar: Paradise Lost (PG) *** The Boy Next Door (PG) ***
Danger Man!
Freak Out!
By Robert Waldman
By Robert Waldman
Most people know the television
landscape is changing. Many
folks prefer the comfort Of their own
home to watch a movie. Cheaper and
more convenient in many ways in
home viewing is the "in thing" to do for
many cash--strapped and dare I say
older people. While video stores have
gone the way of the do do bird smart
cable operators have now reached new
audiences through new " on demand"
services. Ever willing to expand their
reach Hollywood studios have begun
to tap into this new burgeoning market.
Heck, some movies are shot specifically
for home audiences and purposelessly
bypass a theatrical release. Into this
mix comes Escobar: Paradise Lost.
Better call your local cable carrier, be it
Shaw, Rogers, Telus or Bell to
check out this intense and intelligent
drama.
Part romance part guns and bullets
Escobar: Paradise Lost is a
tropical and topical delight. Filmed in
Panama with a decided Canadian bent
this two hour film revolves around a
vacationing displanted Canuck hitting
the local tropical beach and making by
as a surf instructor of sorts.
Awkward in a boyish sort of way turns
out to be Nick. Hot off his starring
ways in The Hunger Games is Josh

Hutcherson. Shucks, those innocent
baby-faced good looks lead to a chance
meeting with local lovely Maria.
Fetching and comely is this homegrown lass, buoyantly revealed through
Claudia Traisac.
Sometimes romances are made in
heaven. Sometimes they aren't. While
this pair date they are swept into the
world of politics, drugs and cocaine
as Maria's uncle turns out to be none
other than Pablo Escobar. Cruel is
the take given this monster by Benicio
Del Toro (License to Kill). Despite
the unbelievable nature of a storybook
romance gone sour actor turned
director/writer Andrea Di Stefano turns
out a pretty good effort here. That
sense of danger and tension is well
earned as is the insane intensity Del
Toro brings to the party. It's hard
imagining any actor doing a better job
getting into the depths of danger,
despair and ruthlessness that make-up
this cocaine monster family man.
Wolves in sheep's clothing never felt so
menacing.
Pressure on many levels helps make
Escobar: Paradise Lost a good
reminder that all the money in the world
can't buy happiness or freedom -or love.
Obsession rears its ugly head (and then

some) in the unlikely yet
effective The Boy Next Door. Hall of
fame horror studio Universal shelves
it's classic monsters for a newer (though
not necessarily improved ) version
now delighting thrill seekers at
Cineplex Odeon arenas around B.C.
Perhaps more suitable for the gloomy
Halloween witching season or even
Valentines's Day (just kidding) this
dark tinged thriller laced with sex
and a range of offbeat situations
revolves around a disjointed family
and a
new neighbour. Down on their ropes
but not necessarily out are the
Petersons. Bad boy head of the house
Garrett is not exactly husband of
the year material and is well "covered"
by John Corbett (My Big Fat Greek
Wedding).
Working wife Claire does her best to
make ends meet and is played
with charm and innocence by Jennifer
Lopez (Selena). Big mistake. Despite
the best of intentions in raising high
school son Kevin being a teenager
poses problems. High school memories
and the trauma of being somewhat of a
spaz and outcast are well presented by
Ian Nelson who seems sort of lost.
When a new "kid" moves in next door

it sets off a chain of events that
impact mighty heavily on the Petersons
extending even out to their friends.
On the surface young Noah Sandburn
seems like a dream friend and helper.
Polite and ever ready to lend a hand is
Ryan Guzman. Oh, and he's also
rather strong, sturdy and handsome.
Call him a hunk on the move. And on
the make.
Being beautiful can have its setbacks.
Before you can say Welcome
Wagon our hot to trot hot-blooded boy
next door decides to make his
relationship with the Mrs. just a bit
more than "neighbourly". What should
have been an innocent "moment" turns
into a time of terror as a very uneasy
situation takes on a life of its own.
Director Rob Cohen knows his way
around the thriller genre and though
some of the set ups here are a bit
predictable and at times some situations
are preposterous the driving force of an
obsession is believable and
engaging. Solid acting on all fronts and
a genuine air of excitement and
foreboding doom and gloom turning to
terror make The Boy Next Door a
feverishly fun time at the movies sure
to race hearts and sweat palms.
