April fool

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 12:08:32 GMT

Salaamaleykum,

Today is , 1st of April a.k.a. april fool's day.
My sister asked me for a good prank to pull on her friends. My reply was ; tell them you're having brain cancer and gonna die. Of course, she didn't take the advice. If I'm not mistaken, she decided to tell her friends a notoriously monstrous teacher has called for them.
She was so sure she can pull a good prank on her friends, as, so far, she has never lied, so they will definitely take her words seriously.

Based on this, what can we conclude? A person is going to put his/her creditability at stake, for the sake of a prank. I'm sure my sister is not a unique case. Many upon millions of people out there are gonna do the same.

Heck! have they not heard of the boy who cried wolf??? From a secular point of view, lying feeds no humour nor amusement if it is at the cost of your creditability.

Pranks are done at the cost of someone else's distress. If that person has some heart problem, that poor fella would have died. Even if he/she didn't die, are we barbarians to laugh at someone's displeasure. To extrapolate the situation, imagine a boss, firing his employer in the morning, only to tell him its a joke at the end of the day. Imagine the agony and anxiety the poor man, upon whom his whole family depends on, has to face during his few hours of 'apparent unemployment'. Simply barbaric.

Some say, take a chill pill. To those people, I'ld say, ask those victims of April Fool's day pranks to take the chill pill. Simple google search will show you, just how much these pranks can cost.

I'm not discouraging april fool's day, I'm discouraging thoughtless pranks altogether! Khalas!

And for the religious minded amongst us, there are countless Fatwa/decrees against pranks and lying and specifically 'April Fool'. Here's one Fatwa from a reliable source.

While we are in this topic, I'ld like to stress that I dissociate this post from an commonly circulated story that Muslims should avoid April fool because it was the label the Europeans used on us (poisson d'avril) when we lost and left Granada (Spain). I have tried hard to find its source, other then that email/post ,that states no sources nor any specific traceble detail.
We should avoid April fool, simply because of its Haram to lie. name callings and event of the past looming around it are, merely accessories which should not be the foundation of our reprisal.

Allah MADAD!

Earth Hour

Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:27:21 GMT

Salaamaleykum...

If you guys havent heard, on the night of 28th March, there's going to be a big deliberate blackout at over 60 major cities world wide.

Between 8:30 to 9:30 night, on the 28th March, everyone's going to switch off all their electrics. No standby mode either. (ok, you can leave your alarm system and surveillance cameras on). but all other non-life and death appliances must be turned off for that one hour. We'ill live solely on the nature's light.
Its a cool way to celebrate mother nature, i believe.

Earth Hour started with Sydney 3 years ago. THis year, over 60 cities have signed up for the movement. Even though a mere hour has no effect on the overall environment, Earth hour's just a statement. A statement that we care for the environment.

Please sign up, and join the movement...

Matters of the heart

Sat, 20 Sep 2008 12:08:00 GMT

Salaamaleykum,

Here's some of my observations in matter of the heart ;

1) Heart's the strongest part of the body, yet the easiest to break.

2) Whats worst that someone breaking your heart? -When that someone breaking the heart's the VERY person your heart's beating for.

3) If your love's a failure, then welcome yourself to the club of other failed lovers. Elite members of the club includes Qays ibn Mulawwah (from Laila Majnoon), Romeo Montague (from Romeo and Juliet), Dheendo Ranjha (from Heer Ranjha), etc.

4) Love you gave, must not necessarily be returned in the same manner.(i.e. the way other people express their love for you, ain't always the same way as you express your love to them)

5) Love is a fruit in season at all time and in reach of all hands. PLEASE take ALL measures to avoid consuming it.Like Marijuana, its nice at first but leaves with a horrible unbearable side effect.

6)Sultan Shah Jahan wasn't vain when he built his Taj Mahal, he was just in love.

Doctors suicde

Wed, 04 Jun 2008 03:26:03 GMT

CHICAGO -- There's a grim, rarely talked-about twist to all that medical know-how doctors learn to save lives: It makes them especially good at ending their own. An estimated 300 to 400 US doctors kill themselves each year -- a suicide rate thought to be higher than in the general population, although exact figures are hard to come by.

Some doctors believe the stigma of mental illness is magnified in a profession that prides itself on stoicism and bravado. Many fear admitting psychiatric problems could be fatal to their careers, so they suffer in silence.

And when the pain is too much, doctors have easy access to prescription drugs and a precise knowledge of both how the body works and the amount of a drug needed for an overdose to stop breathing and halt the heart.

"All physicians have access to neat, clean ways to commit suicide," said Dr. Robert Lehmberg, a Little Rock, Ark., surgeon who has battled depression and long considered suicide "an exit strategy if absolutely necessary."

[IMG]http://www.atlantaillustrated.com/blogs/blog02/uploaded_images/dr_nick_riviera-734744.jpg[/IMG]

The American Medical Association has called physician suicide "an endemic catastrophe," and pledged two years ago to work to prevent the problem.

But the suicides have persisted. So the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has launched an educational campaign in hopes of making troubled doctors more willing to seek help.

The foundation, the American College of Psychiatrists and Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a maker of antidepressant pills, paid for the program. It includes a documentary titled "Struggling in Silence" that begins airing on public television stations this week.

"It really has been swept under the carpet," said Dr. Paula Clayton, the suicide foundation's medical director.

The foundation says 300 to 400 doctors commit suicide each year, based on estimates from research, but that more studies are needed to get a more precise count.

Another estimate of 250 yearly comes from an online article by Dr. Louise Andrew and in American Medical News, an AMA publication. But a spokesman said the AMA doesn't track doctor suicides because accurate numbers aren't available.

Suicide figures in broader society are not completely reliable because suicide is often not given as the cause of death.

The overall US suicide rate among men is four times higher than in women — about 23 per 100,000 versus about 6 per 100,000 in women, according to the most recent government data.

But among doctors, suicide rates are about equal for men and women.

A 28-state study from 1984-95 found women doctors were more than twice as likely as women in the general population to kill themselves. Men were more than 70 percent more likely inside the medical profession than overall to commit suicide.

One explanation is that most suicide attempts in the broader population are unsuccessful, while doctors know how to successfully commit suicide, said Dr. Erika Frank, who specializes in research on physician health.

Depression is often the problem.

Depressed doctors frequently decide to self-medicate but don't seek psychotherapy that could help them deal with underlying issues, said Dr. Glenn Siegel, who runs a suburban Chicago program that treats doctors with drug abuse, depression and other psychiatric problems.

"It's not a safe topic to be as open about in that profession because you're responsible for the well-being of others," Siegel said. "If you're admitting something like that, you're saying maybe you're not fit to do your job."

Adds Lehmberg, the Arkansas surgeon, who is featured in the documentary: "You just would rather take a risk with your health than your career. It's not like you get a second chance with it."

A psychiatrist in the New York area who asked to remain unidentified said he had suicidal thoughts every day for several years. But in medical school in the 1980s, he said he was so embarrassed about seeking help for depression that he went to a pay phone instead of his dorm to call a therapist.

Since then, some schools have begun teaching medical students about depression among doctors, but, he said in an interview, "so much more needs to be done."

Because the stigma persists, he said he didn't want his name used to avoid hurting his family and relationships with colleagues and patients.

Some studies have suggested depression is more common among doctors, especially women physicians, and that the high demands of a job dealing with life-and-death issues makes them prone.

But Frank questions that and said she worries that singling out physicians risks "pathologizing" a profession whose members generally "have it awfully good."

"I think the situation gets portrayed as far more grave than it really is for physicians compared to anyone else in the world," Frank said.

There could be reasons why the stigma would be worse for doctors, "but you can come up with just as many reasons why physicians would be better equipped to acknowledge" mental illness, she said.

"We've all done psychiatric training. We all know bad mental health outcomes happen to good people," she said.

A study in Denmark, published last year, found more suicides in doctors than among more than 20 other professions, including nurses, factory workers, elementary school teachers, corporate managers and architects.

But there are few comprehensive studies on suicides among US doctors.

[IMG]http://joanharvest.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/crazy_doctor.jpg[/IMG]

Some have been based on newspaper obituaries, which are "flawed at best" because suicide often isn't listed as a cause of death, said Dr. Morton Silverman, a University of Chicago suicide expert.

New Jersey physician Ron Brown suffered from depression and killed himself in 2002. His widow, Mumtaz Bari-Brown, said she believes the stigma kept her husband from getting help in time to save his life.

As a boy, Brown had been told his father died of a heart attack, not the real cause of suicide, the widow said.

"We have to stop the hiding and the ignorance and recognize it as a disease like high blood pressure or diabetes," said Bari-Brown, who also is featured in the new documentary.

Dr. G. Richard Smith, Lehmberg's doctor and director of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences' psychiatric research institute, said doctors need assurance they won't risk their jobs if they seek psychiatric help.

Smith succeeded in getting changes to questions on medical license applications in Arkansas that he believes will help. The old application asked doctors if they were being treated for mental illness or ever had been. A "yes" answer required a psychiatrist's note declaring they were fit to practice medicine. Now, they need only disclose mental health treatment that was advised or required by medical authorities.

The previous form didn't keep doctors with psychiatric problems from practicing, Smith said. But it did keep "doctors who needed treatment from getting the treatment that they needed."

The adult human heart weighs about ten ounces.

People who laugh a lot are much healthier than those who don't. Dr. Lee Berk at the Loma Linda School of Public Health in California found that laughing lowers levels of stress hormones, and strengthens the immune system. Six-year-olds have it best - they laugh an average of 300 times a day. Adults only laugh 15 to 100 times a day.

People who have a tough time handling the stress of money woes are twice as likely to develop severe gum disease, a new study finds.

The first known heart medicine was discovered in an English garden. In 1799, physician John Ferriar noted the effect of dried leaves of the common plant, digitalis purpurea, on heart action. Still used in heart medications, digitalis slows the pulse and increases the force of heart contractions and the amount of blood pumped per heartbeat.

Blood is red only in the arteries after it has left the heart and is full of oxygen. Blood is a purplish, blue color in the veins as it returns to the heart, thanks to having picked up carbon dioxide and other wastes from the body's cells. In fact, your blood is red throughout only half your body. When cut, of course, the blood always appears red because it is instantly exposed to oxygen outside the body.

Contrary to popular belief, hemophiliacs do NOT bleed to death from minor cuts. This rare disease, which affects only males (it is carried by females, but they don't exhibit symptoms), involves an impairment in blood clotting—not an absolute inability to clot. Hemophiliacs today may take clotting serums and often lead fairly normal lives.

Cool household tips

- Put a sealed envelope in the freezer for a few hours, then slide a knife under the flap. The envelope can then be resealed.

- Use Empty toilet paper roll to store appliance cords. It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to.

- For icy door steps in freezing temperatures: get warm water and put Dawn dish washing liquid in it. Pour it all over the steps. They won't refreeze.

- To remove old wax from a glass candle holder, put it in the freezer for a few hours. Then take the candle holder out and turn it upside down. The wax will fall out.

- Crayon marks on walls? A damp rag, dipped in baking soda. Comes off with little effort.

- Permanent marker on appliances/counter tops (like store receipt BLUE!) rubbing alcohol on paper towel.

- Blood stains on clothes? Not to worry! Just pour a little hydrogen peroxide on a cloth and proceed to wipe off every drop of blood. Works every time!

- Use vertical strokes when washing windows outside and horizontal for inside windows. This way you can tell which side has the streaks.
Straight vinegar will get outside windows really clean. Don't wash windows on a sunny day. They will dry too quickly and will probably streak.

- Spray a bit of perfume on the light bulb in any room to create a lovely light scent in each room when the light is turned on.

- Place fabric softener sheets in dresser drawers and your clothes will smell freshly washed for weeks to come. You can also do this with towels and linen.

- Candles will last a lot longer if placed in the freezer for at least 3 hours prior to burning.

- To clean artificial flowers, pour some salt into a paper bag and add the flowers. Shake vigorously as the salt will absorb all the dust and dirt and leave your artificial flowers looking like new! Works like a charm.

- To easily remove burnt on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stove top.

- Spray your TUPPERWARE with nonstick cooking spray before pouring in tomato based sauces and there won't be any stains.

- Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep for weeks.

- When boiling corn on the cob, add a pinch of sugar to help bring out the corn's natural sweetness.

- Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half, and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

- To get rid of itch from mosquito bites, try applying soap on the area and you will experience instant relief.

- Ants, ants, ants everywhere. Well, they are said to never cross a chalk line. So, get your chalk out and draw a line on the floor or wherever ants tend to march. See for yourself.

- Use air-freshener to clean mirrors. It does a good job and better still, leaves a lovely smell to the shine.

- When you get a splinter, reach for the scotch tape before resorting to tweezers or a needle. Simply put the scotch tape over the splinter, and then pull it off. Scotch tape removes most splinters painlessly and easily.

- Clean a toilet.
Drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets, wait twenty minutes, brush and flush. The citric acid and effervescent action clean vitreous China.

- Clean a vase.
To remove a stain from the bottom of a glass vase or cruet, fill with water and drop in two Alka Seltzer tablets.
