Does obesity Cause diabetes?
A: Many recent studies have shown a direct link between obesity and the diagnosis of type II diabetes, or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Also known as adult onset diabetes, type II is increasingly being diagnosed in overweight children and adolescents. In this type of diabetes, the body produces insulin, but interference from the complications of obesity doesnt allow the body to use it as it should. The body of a type II diabetic, due to an overproduction of insulin, can no longer produce the correct amount to maintain healthy blood sugar levels and begins to develop a...
What Is the Connection Between Adiponectin and diabetes?
A: The connection between adiponectin and diabetes is that decreased levels of adiponectin indicate susceptibility to type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin is a protein that assists in maintaining proper metabolism. Levels of the protein drop in obese individuals, making them susceptible to type 2 diabetes. Medical research has shown that synthetic adiponectin may be able to raise one`s adiponectin levels. In the future, medications could exist to prevent diabetes as obese individuals attempt to lose weight.. Adiponectin performs many roles within the human body. Produced by fat cells, adiponectin helps regulate how the body processes glucose and fat....
What's the difference between hyperglycemia and diabetes?
A: hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia and diabetes. diabetes is a condition where the body does not have enough insulin to process glucose, causing high blood glucose levels. Hyperglycemia means high blood glucose. Hypoglycemia means low blood glucose. what is the difference between yahoo and google? I wouldn''t have known if i did not went and checked it out. so my advice, go online and check it out(not the server but the hyperglycemia and diabetes) I found some good info here. although hyperglycemia is one of the signs of diabetes, it can occur in normal conditions as well....
Does anyone know if there is a correlation between sleep apnea and diabetes?
A: when i cant sleep i warm up 3 frozen burritos and watch TV There is one between Apnea and obesity... People who are obese are usually the ones with diabetes and people who are fat are the ones with sleep apnea. The correlation is fat=diabetes fat=sleep apnea I have both conditions but I don''t think the two are related. One common factor is being overweight. Other than that the two conditions have nothing to do with each other. I am a 57 year old man who also has sleep apnea. Yes there is a good correlation between being obese and having sleep apnea but not all who suffer with this are obese. I know...
Obese and bloated, Wilfred Brimley is the spokesperson for DIABETIC supplies. How responsible is that?
A: The man has to be 200 year old. He was in his late 70''s during the filming of ''Our House'' in the mid 1980''s. Or at least he appeared to be. No, a layer of blubber is simply par for the course with Wilfred. He has that "average folk'' appeal that senors will listen to. Give him a break though, he is like every ones grandfather. The one that always uses profanity. what better spokesperson ? someone that will own up to what the complications to obesity are and the results . also, know that many diabetics are a cause of overweight and some are genetic . there are many thin or too thin diabetics too. different types to disease / some develop later in life i worked with someone who...
What Is the Relationship Between Fast Food and diabetes?
A: The relationship between fast food and diabetes is largely correlative rather than causative. Moreover, any relationship between fast food and diabetes is dependent on consumption of unhealthy foods in excess. It is not reasonable to say that a person who occasionally eats fast food or who eats fast food that is relatively healthy is at an increased danger of developing type 2 diabetes. That said, the relationship between particular eating habits concerning extremely unhealthy fast food and diabetes is clearly one of causation. If a person becomes extremely unhealthy or obese from lack of activity
Walking and diabetes
A: diabetes is a chronic state of improper glucose balance in the body. It may be of following two types: diabetes Mellitus Type I: In this case, pancreas does not produce sufficient amounts of insulin for the breakdown, absorption, and assimilation of glucose, which causes an increase in blood glucose level.diabetes Mellitus Type II: In this type if diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin and as such, despite the secretion of insulin in sufficient amounts, the blood glucose level increases. There are various causes of diabetes which include genetic transmission of the disease, certain infections, excessive...
Blood pressure and diabetes Type 2?
A: 168/88 is not life-threatening. The zestril will help tremendously. As others have said, diet and exercise can help with all your conditions. your bp is high, the normal is 120/80. Not to be nosy, but are you also overweight. This plays a BIG part in your high blood pressure and possible diabetes 2. I know its hard but you have to try to shed some pounds (if you are in fact overweight) The situation is that you need to lose weight. NOW! i work in primary care in the UK. we would like it to be below 145/85- hopefully the zestril (good in diabetics) will help. Aspirin can be a problem is systolic is persistently high (say above 180) One word about the stomach reduction surgery to lose weight. Doctors beat this drum to...
What Is the Connection Between Liver Damage and diabetes?
A: Liver damage and diabetes can be related in one of two ways, the most common being that many conditions and behaviors which can lead to diabetes can also lead to liver damage. There are also links between adult onset diabetes, or type-2 diabetes, and inflammation of the liver. This is primarily caused by insulin resistance and fatty buildup in the liver itself. Many conditions linking liver damage and diabetes are fully preventable or treatable. Type-1 diabetes does not appear to have any impact on the liver.. There are...
Is it possible to be obese and nice looking and healthy?
A: No. How can you be obese and look good and be healthy? Think about it. But it''s not up to anyone to judge. You can be thin and not look good or be healthy...that''s laziness, too. I''m afraid not. That''s a factual answer and not a merely subjective one. obesity is, by it''s very definition, morbity. Someone who is clinically obese cannot be healthy. Whether they can be "nice-looking" is, I guess, a matter of opinion.Some cultures still force-feed young women to make them fat as that is considered attractive, but the young women grow into middle-aged women with a shorter life expectancy and can look forward to heart disease,

A common misconception is that treatment for back or neck conditions is limited to physical therapy or surgery.
In fact, there are more than 20 non-surgical treatment options available for back or neck conditions. And, in 90% of our patients, these non-surgical options effectively treat your condition, eliminating the need for surgery. We work with you and a team of Anesthesiologist, Radiologist, Physiatrists and Physical Therapists to find the treatment that works for you.
Non-surgical treatment options include:
While pain medication does not actually heal a back or neck injury, conservative use can relieve pain and allow time for an injury to heal or for treatments such as physical therapy to have a chance to work. We work closely with you to ensure any medications are used conservatively, appropriately and for as little time as possible.
There are various types and categories of medication available, depending on the severity of your symptoms, how long you've had them, and where they are located.
Over-the-counter, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve), are the most common medications for people with back or neck pain. Prescription NSAIDS are also available. Often, for mild to moderate pain, NSAID's are all that is needed and pain will improve within a few weeks.
If over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription NSAIDs are not relieving your back pain, your doctor may suggest adding a muscle relaxant. Muscle relaxants may be useful for acute injuries and to calm muscle spasms.
In some cases, NSAIDs and muscle relaxants do not provide adequate relief. If you have long-lasting, chronic back pain, you may be prescribed opioid or narcotic medications. These drugs act on pain receptors in the brain and nerve cells to alleviate pain.
Similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids can also relieve inflammation and alleviate back pain. They can be taken either orally or via injection into your back.
In cases in which your back or neck pain is caused by nerve damage or inflammation, your physician may prescribe an antidepressant or an anti-seizure drug. These medications, while not originally developed for back or neck pain, have been found to be effective in reducing pain caused by nerve problems.
Steroid Injections provide pain relief by reducing the inflammation of nerve roots. A steroid, along with an anesthetic, is injected into the affected area. While steroid injections will not correct a preexisting condition, it can greatly reduce the level of pain you are experiencing. The injections may be repeated if needed to optimize relief and may be done 2-4 weeks apart in a series of up to 3. If pain is improved, no further injections may be required.
Types of Steroid Injections
In certain conditions, nerves become aggravated and involved in a constant transmission of pain signals to the brain. Pain blocks can be used to disrupt this communication and can provide dramatic and long-term pain reduction.
Blocks are usually performed under X-ray (fluoroscopic) guidance. Following a local anesthetic to numb the skin, a contrast dye is injected to identify the painful areas. An anesthetic and anti-inflammatory medicine mixture is then injected to the affected nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Blocks may be repeated weekly until the pain subsides.
Types of Pain Blocks
Innovations in pain management have provided exciting new options for patients suffering from persistent pain. Radiofrequency, electric stimulation, and other advancements offer continual pain relief through self-regulated treatment delivery.
Using fluoroscopy, a tiny probe is inserted to the affected nerves and electric stimulation heats the surrounding tissue. This heat destroys the nerve cells, stopping them from sending pain signals to the brain. These nerves typically grow back after approximately six to nine months, but relief may last between 6 and 18 months.
Spinal cord stimulation uses electrical impulses to relieve pain in the back, arms and legs. The electrical pulses prevent the pain signals from being received by the brain. Patients with neuropathic pain and patients for whom conservative treatment has failed may be candidates for this procedure.
A minimally-invasive procedure used to restore the height of damaged vertebrae using a balloon and special orthopedic bone cement.
Using a local anesthetic, a small incision is made in the back and a narrow tube is inserted, guided by X-ray to the vertebrae. A special balloon is then inserted through the tube into the vertebrae and is carefully inflated to return the damaged vertebrae to a more normal height. The balloon is then removed and a special bone cement which hardens quickly, called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), is injected into the space, maintaining the height and stabilizing the bone.
The procedure takes approximately one hour for each vertebrae.
A minimally-invasive procedure used to repair the vertebrae using orthopedic bone cement.
Using local anesthetic, a special needle is guided by X-ray through the soft tissue of the back to the damaged vertebrae. A small amount of special bone cement which hardens quickly, called polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), is injected into the vertebrae to stabilize and strengthen the bone.
The procedure takes approximately one to two hours and typically patients are able to go home the same day.
A Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (PM&R) physician, sometimes called a Physiatrist, specializes in decreasing pain and enhancing physical function that has been affected due to disorders of the spine or nervous system.
Learn more about Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
We have a number of physical therapists with advanced training and expertise in physical therapy for spine conditions. Often, physical therapy is prescribed as a treatment for spine conditions with the goal of increasing flexibility and/or building core muscle strength. In some cases, physical therapy may also be prescribed following spine surgery in order to return muscles to optimum function.

Despite being an avid romance reader and writer, I don't really do Valentine's Day. Nor does my husband. What else would you expect from a couple who met playing bridge in their early twenties? It doesn't scream wild romance, though anyone not acquainted would be a little shocked at the intensity of the bridge table : )
But I do love to bake…
Valentine's Day is a good excuse to go a little crazy with strawberries and cream. And so I did, with these strawberry shortcakes (thanks Nigella!).
I even gave one to Adam.
These days, the focus of Valentine's Day seems to be on gifts from and dates with your significant other. Nice enough, but…
Imagine how exciting it was in Victorian times, when 14 February was all about the secret Valentine. Waiting in heart-pounding breathless anticipation for the post to arrive, bringing declarations of undying love.
From whom? The one you've been dreaming of? Ah, a little mystery. That's more like it.

Comfortable shooting design and nice photos
Excellent control layout, 7.1x zoom lens, Fast aperture lens
Best-in-class ergonomics, handling, and build quality
Excellent image quality
'The P6000 will probably be suitable for the tech-savvy or frequent traveller who needs to identify where they took certain shots.'
'The inclusion of a "GPS" position on the P6000's mode dial is somewhat confusing insofar as there's no separate GPS shooting mode.'
'There are a host of accessories available for the P6000, and
I've compiled them into this table for you: A pretty good selection, if I do say so myself.'
'Fortunately autofocus operation is quicker, but it's still a little sluggish at the longer end of the zoom where the maximum aperture drops from f/2.8 to f/5.6.'
'the hottest, most versatile digital camera around.'
'brief shutter delay'
'confusing menu tabs'
'With its unique swivel design, the Nikon Coolpix 4500's lens compartment locks into four positions, or can be used freely between these locks for angular viewing without having to adjust your shooting style.'
'the front of the chassis uses magnesium alloy in its design, the camera feels quite sturdy.'
'The P5000 has a pretty unremarkable (and somewhat slow) 3.5X zoom lens, with a focal length of 36 - 126 mm.'
'Geared for enthusiasts, there are plenty of compatible accessories to extend or magnify the existing 3.5x optical zoom lens.'
'The Coolpix P5000
finish and comfortable new grip.'
'pronounced barrel distortion at the widest zoom settings and a viewfinder that tends to freeze and blank out during use.'
'The bad news is that the clip length is limited to just 60 seconds, regardless of the size of your memory card.'
'The rechargeable lithium ion battery lasted nearly 3 hours, a middling result.'
'impressive wide-angle zoom capability'
'52MB of built-in memory'
'the lens exhibited strong barrel distortion at wide angle.'
'The smooth ring makes it hard for fingers to tell exactly which way is up and down, left and right.'
'The tiny zoom switch is a bit awkward in use and that makes it more difficult to change zoom settings in precise increments.'
'unacceptable shutter delays'
'The CoolPix 8700 is a solid choice, especially for those who want up-close shots.'
'The bad news is that the clip length is limited to just 35 seconds, regardless of the size of your memory card.'
'massive fish-eye lens'
'Just a cursory glance at this camera suggests there's a lot of technology that's been plundered from Nikon's current flagship compact, the Coolpix 5700.'
'Clunky, sluggish interface No AF illuminator, poor low light focusing Does not fully support Nikon Speedlites Small LCD No RAW mode yet (most of competition has it) Flimsy plastic door over CF slot No live histogram in record mode'
'Although this was slightly evident in the macro shot, Nikon still blows the competition away, capturing a tiny area of 24 x 18mm – extreme detail is clearly visible in the photo.'
'In contrast to the overall build quality of the camera, the door covering the Type II CompactFlash slot (which also handles IBM Microdrives) feels very flimsy.'
'The telephoto end is equivalent
to an 85mm and has a relatively slow f/2.8-f/10.3 aperture range.'
'The test showed an overall accurate reproduction of the test subject with colour reproduction being the main standout.'
'flimsy plastic door on the side for CompactFlash cards'
'small, close-together buttons'
'At first glance, the Coolpix looks like a large point-and-shoot camera that's been cut in half and put back together incorrectly.'
'It's especially handy when shooting in wideangle as the focus system will
subject to the camera, whether in the center of the frame or not.'
'Replaying TIFFs was equally laborious.'

The new Heineken ad is certainly better than their beer. No offence but I find Heineken to be a characterless beer...
Anyhow, their new commercial, on the other hand, is rather brilliant. The ad, named "Worlds Apart", shows how people of opposing views can overcome their mutual disagreement by getting to know each other.
Three pairs of random people are asked to collaborate to solve different problems and questions around a warehouse. They get along just fine until they are being played videos of each other filmed prior to them meeting. The videos show their strongly opposing views on hot social topics like feminism, climate change and transgenderism. After the videos are being played, the pairs can decide whether to leave the room or to have a beer together to discuss their polarised worldviews.
While the ad has its cheesy moments, it's a great example of how advertising can tackle important issues of our times without banalizing them.

Mission Statement
In fidelity to the gospel call to love others as Christ loves us, the goal of our CUA mission trips is to share in and learn from the lived experience of our brothers and sisters around the world.
By sharing in the faith, work, and culture of those who welcome us, this experience becomes a life-changing moment in the participants' spiritual, educational, and mental formation.
This experience challenges participants to integrate the values of the Gospel and the social teachings of the Church into their lives and to encourage change in the lives of those around them.
Every year approximately 65 CUA students spend their spring break or 10 days during their summer break to volunteer in cities across the country and world. Through these various service opportunities, the students have the privilege to meet, serve, and be welcomed by the poorest of the poor. Hearts are changed, eyes are opened, and the desire to serve is ignited.
The first mission trip began in the summer of 2001, when a group of students went to Guatemala to help in the local schools and farms. Since then, trips have travelled to Jamaica, Panama, Hawaii, Belize, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Tanzania.
Students apply and are selected to serve on the various Mission trips offered by the Campus Ministry Office. In addition, students can volunteer through Habitat for Humanity's Alternative Spring Break opportunties. For more information about these trips, please check out the Frequently Asked Questions page.

Hi everyone! Bet you thought I fell into a hole somewhere. Nah, just job hunting now that I'm done with school. Anyone want to hire me? :) Anyway, I attended the San Francisco International Gift Fair last Saturday, and I ran across these flower-covered paper lanterns at the zappobz booth. I begged to take a picture so you can see them. I still like my floral paper lantern best, but I thought the bright colors were fun too. By the way, my favorite booth at the fair was roost. Love, love, love their stuff.
I like yours best, too!! I did my apartment in homemade cherry blossoms and have been dying for a lamp from Ikea that only slightly looked "blossomy." Your lanterns are much prettier and at least $25 cheaper!! I'm going to try it, but since I want a specific flower, I'm going to cut my flowers from vellum myself and use beads instead of pompoms (since I already have some and am an unemployed grad school student). Thanks so much for an awesome idea!! :-)
Thanks so much for posting your flower lantern. I made my own for my bedroom. I went to Michael's & they still carried the same clearance garland.
I like the purple roses!
So fun! I need to make some to decorate the studio!
They are fantastic! And the colors are so beautiful…
I love all of them !
I'll try to make some lthis :)
Darling!!! Need I say more?
Wow, these are nice and colourful! I think these would be great for a party whereas the ones you made would be great for parties or just to have gorgeous decor in one's home – they are more versatile.
These aren't bad but yours are better.
If it's OK, I'm going to link to your project for a roundup on silk flower ideas.
Thanks for the inspiration!
how fabulous is this idea?! omg i love it! tres chic!
Amazing lanterns!!!
It's a great thing to have used flowers and put them into such beautiful masterpieces. They're the most illuminating lanterns I've seen.
hello are your lanterns for purchase?
monisha gibbs – My lanterns aren't available for purchase yet. I have a few I plan to sell in the near future. I'll keep you updated.
Hi I love the lanters!!! how can I see your? when you start selling them please let me know… Thanks,Xiomara

Unemployment Structural Unemployment
types of unemployment
There are 4 types of unemployment:
1.Frictional Unemployment
2.Structural Unemployment
3.Cyclical Unemployment
4.Seasonal Unemployment
Frictional Unemployment
Frictional unemployment is due to the normal working of the labor market. That is frictional unemployment results from job search activities. Arises because of the time needed to match qualified job seekers with the available job openings. For e.g. the short span of time you spend unemployed after your graduation, may be because you need to travel to your new employers location.
Structural Unemployment
Structural unemployment is the unemployment that arises when changes in technology or international competition change the skills needed to perform jobs or change the location of job. For e.g. Typist who are skilled in using typewriters have to train themselves to use word processors………………… Cyclical Unemployment
Cyclical unemployment are unemployment that arise due to deficient in aggregate demand, it fluctuates with the business cycle, cyclical unemployment increases during recessions and decreases during expansions. Seasonal Unemployment
Seasonal unemployment is the unemployment that arises because the number of jobs available has decreased because of the season for e.g. sugar cane farmers.
Unemployment Rate
Now moving on to unemployment rate. As stated before unemployment rate is one of the key labor force indicator. The unemployment rate is the % of the people in the labor force who are unemployed. UR = U/LF x 100
Problems with the way Unemployment Rate is Measured
However I would like to take this opportunity to also discuss 2 problems with the way the unemployment rate is measured: The problem of:
1.Discouraged workers
2.Under- employed workers
Discouraged workers are workers who have in effect drooped out of the labor force because of lack of success in finding jobs. This does not appear in the unemployment statistics. Under-...

Social Media Research
Generating Smart Insight Impact
The emergence of new media platforms has pushed traditional media to the fringes. The paradigm shift in media landscape means that if a client can harness social media chatter and use that knowledge for market research purposes, it is a much faster and cost-effective method of deriving insights compared to traditional research. As a stakeholder in brands, products, and organization, you simply cannot ignore the emergence of social media and the way it can impact you.
Our social media research and insights are used by brand managers, CI professionals, and advertising, PR, and digital marketing agencies to implement E-media learning.
For any given consumer segment, we can provide insights on the segment profile, including behavior, interests, and attitudes. We then analyze and understand brands online within a chosen consumer segment focusing on awareness, perception, and consideration against competition.
Based on these analyses, we develop a comprehensive understanding of avenues for marketing. Our insights cover, but are not limited to, category landscapes, digital media strategy, influencers, and communities for marketing, consumer segment behavior, and new concept R&D.
As clients implement their social media strategies, Genpact provides a continuous stream of insights on the discussions, concerns, and expectations from their social media audience.
Consumer Packaged Goods
We helped a leading beverage company understand the online behavior, interest, and attitude of its core consumer segment and develop a common framework for evaluating community marketing. The client was then best positioned to evaluate the performance of the brand in the target segment through the common framework.
Life Sciences
A top 10 pharmaceutical company wanted to understand the competitive landscape and stakeholder sentiment about a leading OTC drug. Our quarterly social media tracker provided the client with ongoing and reliable feedback, helping the client measure the effectiveness of their marketing efforts.

The government has finally submitted a 41-page affidavit which spells out the process of making the organization an autonomous body.
There would be a three member committee which will have the PM, the leader of the Opposition and the Chief Justice on board for the selection of the CBI director. The PM will appoint the director after receiving the recommendations from the committee.
There are certain criteria which need to be fulfilled, like an officer needs to be of IPS rank and have expertise in criminal investigation as well as corruption control to be considered. A minimum of two years term is fixed for the director. If there is a complaint, then the director can be removed by the PM after CVC has approved the same. July 10 has been fixed as the date for the final hearing by the apex court on the affidavit.
Air Asia, the low cost carrier from Malaysia has initial plans for an investment of $30 million in its JV with the Tata Group as was informed by Tony Fernandes, its CEO. He also specified that the company was waiting for the market to be more conducive and thinks now is the right time.
October is the month from when the airlines want to begin operations and Fernandes had a meeting with Ajit Singh the Civil Aviation Minister regarding this. India is being viewed as the potential market for the largest operations of Air Asia.
Fernandes also specified that the airports have a big role to play in the business. South India will be the zone for the operation with Chennai being the head office and there may be other bases in Bangalore and Kochi as well.

The Chase Is On: Armstrong Atlantic Punches Ticket To Florida
May 9, 2010
Courtesy of AASU
SAVANNAH, Ga. - The two-time NCAA Division II defending national champion Armstrong Atlantic State women's tennis team advanced to the 2010 NCAA DII Women's Tennis Championships Round of 16 with a 5-1 win over Francis Marion on Saturday morning at Bacon Park.
The No. 1-ranked Lady Pirates (29-0) make their 16th consecutive trip to the Round of 16, the longest current active streak among Division II schools, and also return to the site of their 2005 and 2009 National Championships at Sanlando Park in Altamonte Springs, Fla. AASU will begin play on Wednesday, May 12, against Northeastern State (Okla.). No. 14-ranked Francis Marion ends its 2010 season at 17-6.
Armstrong Atlantic took a 2-1 lead after doubles play. No. 21-ranked Kathleen Henry and Tina Ronel blanked Karine Augur and Kerry Hall, 8-0, at No. 3 doubles while No. 4-ranked Gabriella Kovacs - less than an hour after walking in AASU's graduation ceremony downtown - and Sona Novakova downed No. 13-ranked Mona Blauen and Jitka Gavdunova, 8-1, at No. 2 doubles. Francis Marion's doubles point came at No. 1 doubles as second-ranked Sabina Baberadova and Tereza Sykorova bested No. 3-ranked Martina Beckmann and Alida Muller-Wehlau, 8-3.
The Lady Pirates notched a quick 6-0, 6-0 win at No. 6 singles by 41st-ranked Henry over Augur. 27th-ranked Beckmann then bested Hall, 6-0, 6-3, at No. 5 singles, and second-ranked Novakova clinched the match with a 6-1, 6-1 win over No. 10-ranked Sykorova at No. 1 singles.
The Lady Pirates will head to Altamonte Springs with an eye on capturing their sixth NCAA DII national championship. Only three schools have won NCAA DII national titles since 1995 - AASU, BYU-Hawaii and Lynn. The Lady Pirates enter the Round of 16 on a 44-match win streak and over the last three seasons, AASU has won 89 of its last 91 matches.

Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Egyptian embassy in London in a show of solidarity with thousands of anti-government activists in Cairo and other cities.
The campaigners, many of them expatriates living in London, stood outside the embassy in Mayfair and chanted "down with Mubarak".
Standing in a cordon on the street, the crowd held banners and flew the Egyptian flag.
Hisham Youssef, who lived in Cairo until two months ago, said the group wanted to speak out on behalf of their countrymen and women.
He said they were calling for Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak to quit.
"It is time for Mubarak to go," said Mr Youssef.
"Thirty years of corruption. It used to be a different country. There is no freedom of speech.
"The system has to change, it is time for him to go.
"We are here to show solidarity with the people in Egypt."
Campaigner Ahmed Zaghou said: "Tunisia woke up the nation.
"I am 27 and I have lived outside Egypt my whole life and all I want to do is return home and work.
"I want to have a minimum wage and for Egypt to have freedom of competition in business.
"We want the government to leave.
"I would rather stand next to the Devil than this government."
Many protesters spoke of their concern about a communications "blackout" and said they could not contact family members in Cairo by mobile phone, text message or over the internet.
Among the crowd, which had been steadily growing since about 1pm, was journalist and activist Yvonne Ridley.
"I am here because I can't get to Cairo," she said.
"I want to join the Egyptian people in a revolution that is going to change the political landscape of the Middle East."

Welcome to Accommodation Cornwall. This website gives you everything you need for great holidays in Cornwall, ensuring your stay in our county is a most enjoyable one. We have personally selected the best value bed & breakfasts, guesthouses and hotels in Cornwall, making your Bed Breakfast Cornwall experience one that is second to none! With an extensive descripton & photos of each property, there is something to suit everyone!
Gorran Haven is 7 miles south of St Austell off the B3273 road to Mevagissey.
Just to the west of Mevagissey, Gorran Haven consists of a cluster of fishermen's cottages and some very nice residential newer houses and bungalows above the village. The village is serviced by a few small shops, a restaurant and a café. There is a large field car park at the top of the village, there is no parking below this point, except for a few spaces at the roadside which can be used at certain times of the day and year.
It has a lovely sandy beach which is popular with both visitors and locals alike. At low tide it connects with the longer Great Penhaver Beach.
Gorran Haven is protected from the prevailing wind by the impressive headland, Dodman Point, rising some 400 feet above sea level. The headland is owned by the National Trust and was once the site of a substantial iron age coastal fort. Long walks can be enjoyed to the very point with the sea on three sides. It is an excellent spot for sea fishing from the rocks but the climb down is both long and hazardous. Only those who know what they are doing should attempt it. One mile inland from Gorran Haven is Gorran Parish Church, this has 53 beautifully carved ancient pew ends. The tower dates from 1606, when the medieval steeple collapsed. In Gorran Haven itself is the church of St Just dating mainly from the 15th century. Both churches are worth a visit if this subject is of interest.
The village is closely affiliated to its much larger village, Mevagissey. Information concerning local attractions and additional information can be obtained on the Mevagissey page.
Local Walk to Dodman Point : Dodman Point to Gorran Haven - 2.3 miles
Time 1 Hour 30 minutes (one way)
Park your car at the Gorran Haven car park. Turn left and head for the harbour, using the toilets if required. Turn right up Fox Hole Lane, up steps following the coastpath as marked (also signed as a public footpath to Vault Beach ½ mile). Continue climbing crossing a stile into a field, this is the start of the National Trust property of Lamledra. Climb to a kissing gate,- the path levels out now and drops slightly near a small rocky headland. Keep left taking the lower path where offered. Now about 15 minutes into the walk drop down the slaty steps to round Pen-a-Maen (or Maenease) Point. Ignore the rather indistinct 'fishing' path than runs off to the left here. Pass above Little Sand Cove and pause for photographs if you wish. Progress is good now as the path runs level for some way. As you round another corner keep right following the waymarker slightly uphill away from the coast. Below you lies Cadythew Rock. At the rise walk through a kissing gate and stop for a while at a well placed seat.
The beach below right is Vault (or Bow) Beach. The sand and fine shingle almost grey-yellow due to the slaty geology here. The headland is Dodman Point. Where the path splits bear slightly left by a stile. The fields give way to gorse and scrub as the path rises gradually to a stepped wooden stile and the exit NT omega of Lamledra. Now at the hour mark of the walk, cross another stile leaving the beach behind. Pass through yet another stile and drop down at first before a quick spurt uphill leads you to a wooden signpost. Ahead lies Dodman Point 1/2 mile, to your right lies Penare 1/3 mile and the signpost indicates you have travelled 1¾ miles from Gorran Haven. Follow the pointer to Dodman Point. Cross another stile into an open field for about 5 minutes before leaving by another stile. Notice how the headland shelters the sea on its eastern flank against the prevailing westerly winds. Catch your first glimpse of the coastline to the west around Nare Head and Zone Point and within seconds your first sighting of the large granite cross that marks your end point. Arrive at the cross some 90 minutes after setting out.
Gorran Haven Accommodation:
The accommodation in Gorran Haven is quite spread out as the village itself is quite small. There are primarily Gorran Haven guesthouses: These are often large houses converted into guesthouses. Other guest houses are to be found in neighbouring villages such as Pentewan and Mevagissey, and of course, St Austell is only 10 minutes away. This is also a farming area and many farms have diversified, and the accommodation in farms is quite numerous
Gorran Haven self catering - these are basically: Cottages in Gorran Haven: These are quite numerous, many are basically second homes being let out when not in use by the owners. Unfortunately, like most popular places in Cornwall this tends to increase the cost of property putting it out of reach of the local population. Gorran Haven has been hit hard with most of the small cottages being holiday lets. People who have found this area really appreciate its beauty and tend to come back year after year, hence the reason for purchasing a 2nd home. Most of the self catering in Gorran Haven and the Bed and Breakfast in Gorran Haven, can be found in the local villages.
The hotels in Gorran Haven are not numerous, in fact, there is only one. Most of the hotels servicing Gorran Haven can be found in the Mevagissey area.
The Gorran Haven camp sites and caravan parks of which there is an excellent selection are mostly in the Pentewan Valley although there are some on the coastal road going west.
Mevagissey Tourist Information centre is near the centre of the village.
Accommodation Cornwall is the trading name of Southwest Internet Services

Brighton and Hove council looks at Sunday free parking
A call for free parking in Brighton on Sundays has been considered after the council received a 1,300-name petition.
Councillors rejected the move at this stage but said it should be looked at during a general parking review.
Liberal Democrat activist Jeremy Gale had claimed a council report on the plans was biased in favour of Green Party policy.
But Green council leader Jason Kitcat said it was prepared by officers and dismissed the claims as "nonsense".
Officers were asked to prepare the report after the petition was presented to the Green-led council in March.
The policy and resources committee considered three options on Thursday - city-wide free parking on Sundays, partial free parking on Sundays, or the recommended option to refer alternative parking charges to a later review.
'Putting ideology first'
Mr Gale said the report failed to highlight the positive impact of the scheme on the economy.
He said the Green Party had brought in "punitive" parking controls and had put ideology before the needs of the city.
Mr Kitcat said the move would require signs to be changed, a refund to residents who paid to park for seven days a week and he had concerns about air quality.
He also said the challenge to Brighton was not the economy, but rather coping with the numbers of people trying to visit.
The city has seen an extra 50,000 overnight visitors every year for the past three years, was named the UK's top seaside resort and the eighth most visited place in the country, and it also had a lower retail vacancy rate than London, he added.
Conservative transport spokesman Graham Cox said the scheme would probably cost too much money but believed the Green Party were "trying to put the whole idea into the long grass".
He said the Tories had come up with an alternative plan which was for underused council-run car parks to offer reduced-cost or free parking on Sundays.

"Eat 5-6 meals a day. It'll not only help you stay fuller for longer but it'll also boost your metabolism."
Now how many times have you heard this from a fellow trainer, magazine, personal trainer, health professional or friend? The idea of having 5-6 small meals a day has become so entrenched in the health and fitness world that it is hardly ever questioned. But what does the research really say about its effectiveness? Addressing that exact question is a recently released review paper and position stand from the International Society of Sports Nutrition. This article takes a closer look at what that paper has found and concluded.
Meal Frequency Findings
For those low on time, here are the overall conclusions from the review paper and position stand
- Increased meal frequency in athletic populations have shown positive results in terms of altered body composition.
- Increased meal frequency was able to improve cholesterol and fat levels in the blood.
- Increased meal frequency was also seen to decrease insulin levels in the blood – which may inhibit fat storage.
- Increased meal frequency may be able to shift the ratio of fat to carbohydrate oxidation in favour of conserving carbohydrates.
- Increased meal frequency positively affects muscle protein synthesis.
- Increased meal frequency was associated with a decrease in lean body mass loss during a decreased calorie diet for weight loss.
Here's a more in depth look at the studies reviewed in the paper.
Body Composition & Body Weight
The few studies that have looked at athletic populations have found consuming more than 3 meals per day have been able to help improve body composition.
Advantages of Increased Meal Frequency
In terms of long term health, cholesterol levels and insulin response are two of the most important factors which can affect development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Several large studies have looked at gorging (1 large meal) or nibbling (many small meals throughout the day) and found that gorging led to increases in fat and cholesterol in the blood. More frequent meals causes a slight decrease in cholesterol. Other studies were also able to show that the bad cholesterol (LDL-cholesterol) was able to be reduced with increased meal frequency. Still other studies were able to show that eating more but smaller meals throughout the day, was able to reduce the amount of insulin in the blood. Although insulin is an amazing anabolic hormone, elevated levels for long periods throughout the day can mean increased fat storage.
Metabolism & Regular Meals
The word metabolism has a few meanings. The most widely used definition however is our body's rate of energy utilisation. The 5-6 meals mantra has always promoted its ability to boost metabolism. As you may or may not already know, your body's metabolism is separated intro three categories; basal metabolic rate (the energy used by your body during quiet sitting), thermic effect of food (the energy burned from eating food) and activity metabolism (energy used for any other activity done throughout the day). With respect to meal frequency and its ability to affect the thermic effect of food, there is some evidence to suggest that the ratio between fat and carbohydrate oxidation was able to change favourably to conserve carbohydrates with more meals per day. Protein metabolism studies and meal frequency have also been investigated. Earlier studies showed that nitrogen loss was similar in those eating less meals and those eating more meals. However, nitrogen loss as a marker is evidence of total body protein turnover. More recent studies have looked at meal frequency on muscle protein synthesis. The studies were able to show that a more even distribution of daily protein over several meals were able to promote greater muscle protein synthesis moreso than 3 meals alone.
Hunger & Satiety
Hunger and fullness are both important factors affecting total energy consumption throughout the day. Feeling hungry can put you at risk of behaviours such as gorging and binge eating. The evidence surrounding meal frequency and its effect on hunger and satiety are conflicting. While some studies has shown decreased consumption with smaller more frequent meals and a greater feeling of fullness, other studies could not find any significant connections.
Active People & Meal Frequency
Not many studies looking at effects of meal frequency have focused on athletes as a population group. Some that have however have found quite positive results including improved body composition, conservation of lean body mass with dieting and even improved anaerobic power (sprints). However it should be noted though that athletes and highly trained individuals usually have a higher meal frequency intake anyway as a way to make use of the benefits of nutrient timing.
Meal Frequency - Recommendations
There is a mass of information and studies out there regarding meal frequency and its effects on our body. As a bodybuilder or serious gym-goer, you probably already have more than the typical 3 meals per day, and now hopefully you have a clearer idea of why. Ensure that each meal contains a substantial amount of protein (20-30g) or essential amino acids (10-15g) to optimise muscle protein synthesis. Protein shakes and bars can be a convenient way to ensure that you are meeting this requirement every 2.5-3 hours. WIthout this, you may be shortchanging your ability to gain lean muscle.

One of our forum posters, KingOfTheWorld, kicks off this annual debate with the following observation:
With Tom Sherak failing to lock down Jimmy Fallon and Lorne Michaels for this year's telecast, it has me wondering: who should host and produce the Oscars this year?
If they want to continue on the late night circuit, they should go for Jimmy Kimmel (especially if he nails the Emmys come September). He's painfully funny and ABC will definitely approve as it's free promotion for his show. Jon Stewart could definitely come back for a thrid time. Maybe this time he could bring Stephen Colbert along?
I said it last year and I will say it again: Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal.
Tina Fey should co-host with Robert Downey Jr. (he could host with anyone.)
Who do you think should emcee the 85th annual edition of these kudos which take place next Feb. 24? Vote in the poll below and have your say here.
