Dumaguing: Should a woman have hormone replacement therapy ...

FIRST and foremost, this author would like to apologize to our dear readers and friends for the delay of the appearance of this article, which for all the high-tech advantages of computers and gadgets, got lost in transit. At any rate, it is our fervent hope that the delay has not at all, diminished the enthusiasm and interest of our beloved women of menopausal age, including their anxious husbands.

Our health columnist-colleague Ms. Sara T. Poumerol says that doctors prescribe HRT for two major reasons; relief of menopausal complaints, in which treatment is given for two to three years and then tapered off; and/or protection against osteoporosis and other long term ailments. Women have a variety of treatments from which to choose.

Women who have had hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) together with her two ovaries are often given estrogen therapy. Otherwise, most women use a combination of two hormones (estrogen and progesterone) to counter the negative effect of estrogen on the uterus. Relief of urogental signs and symptoms is also available in estrogen vaginal suppositories, cream and the so-called vaginal ring.

Today, doctors and psychologists as well as marriage counselors understand the more complex nature of the maintenance of libido (sexual urge and desire) of women, even in their menopausal stage. Female sexual urges, as well as the male libido is activated by male sex hormones or androgens. Women naturally produce androgens during their 20s and 30s ? more than their output of estrogens. A new formulation that combines male and female hormones (estrogen-androgen combination) replaces the lost androgens in menopausal women providinga big boostto their sexual drive and a significant improvement in their mood and energy level, thus improving their quality of life. Also, as compared to estrogen alone, the estrogen-androgen combinationmay better protect against ospteoporosis because androgens are important for maintaining bone density.

Some researchers have shown that when taken for over five years, HRT might boost a woman?s chance of getting breast cancer by 30 to 40%. The data so far are not compelling nor consistent for a strong link between HRT and breast cancer. At that time, the medical world recommended against prescribing conventional HRT for women at high risk for breast cancer (if she has a mother, sister or daughter with premenopausal breast cancer.

Nowadays, the thinking and the attitude has changed. Many medical societies have discovered that based on experience and research, the benefits of HRT greatly outweighed the risks, unless the woman has two family relatives with breast cancer. Besides, some researchers believe that estrogen may actually benefit women who have already survivedbreast cancer.

As a personal rejoinder, this author strongly advise every woman, of menopuasal vintage, to consult their family physician and make informed co decisions before their consent is given to undergo hormone replacement therapy.

The Reasons Why We Plan For Self Improvement - Inspirational Bites

Self Improvement is a journey that we can take throughout our lives in order to achieve happiness and become the best that we can be. It is something that can make us better persons and help us attain our dreams and aspirations. Self development is not something that can be reached by just doing small things. It involves positive changes, which would bring us closer and closer to the kind of life that we want to live. To do that, it is necessary for us to come up with a plan for self improvement, and it is best if we constantly remind ourselves of the reasons why we want to do that.

First and foremost, when it comes to building your plan for self improvement, it should be written down on a piece of paper or a journal. It should be done this way so that you can refer to it from time to time, and remind yourself of the things that you need to do in order to achieve the things that you long for. With that, it is also necessary to situate the plan where you can have easy access to it or to take a glance each day, so that you can continuously take steps that are indicated in it.

Coming up with a plan for self improvement is needed, since it would serve as your map in taking the right path towards success and happiness in life. It would also show you where you are now in terms of the goals that you want to reach. After coming up with a plan for self development you can have peace of mind, knowing that you have taken the first step in gaining control of your life. Aside from that, you would also feel good and motivated because you already have a clear idea of what steps you have to take so that you can reach your dreams.

Upon creating your plan, one of the things that you have to do is to identify your strengths and weaknesses. In doing this, you would be able to know yourself better and identify the things that you have to do to reach your full potential. When you know your strengths, it is very important that you take advantage of them and put them into good use as they give you the ability to achieve your goals. On the other hand, when you know your own weaknesses, then you can determine the things that you can do in order to overcome them or even make them your strengths.

Self-assessment is a big part of making your own self improvement plan, and by recalling your achievements as well as identifying your skills and talents, it would make you more confident in tackling any kind of obstacles that would come your way.

Self improvement can be achieved with careful planning, discipline, determination, perseverance, and hard work. Without a plan, you only have a vague idea on what steps you have to take in order to accomplish it. Moreover, planning is also the time when you identify your goals, and become more aware of where you are today in terms of achieving them.

Wikileaks GI to argue his detention merits release

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) ? An Army private charged in the biggest security breach in U.S. history is trying to avoid trial by claiming he was already punished enough when he was locked up alone in a small cell and forced to sleep naked for several nights.

Pfc. Bradley Manning was expected to testify about his treatment during a pretrial hearing set to begin Tuesday and run through Sunday in a military court at Fort Meade, outside Baltimore. Military officers were expected to testify first, so Manning may not be called to testify until later this week.

Manning's lawyers contend he was illegally punished by being locked up alone in a small cell for nearly nine months at the Marine Corps brig in Quantico, Va., and having to sleep naked for several nights.

Military judges can dismiss all charges if pretrial punishment is particularly egregious, but that rarely happens. The usual remedy is credit at sentencing for time served, said Lisa M. Windsor, a retired Army colonel and former Army judge advocate now in private practice in Washington.

In a 1956 case, U.S. v. Bayhand, a military appeals court ordered all charges dismissed against a soldier who had been forced during his pretrial confinement to do hard labor alongside a sentenced prisoner. The court ruled that the soldier had been given an illegal order.

Since then, there have been few, if any, cases in which pretrial punishment has led to dismissal of all charges. Lt. Col. Eric Carpenter, chairman of the criminal law department at the judge advocates school in Charlottesville, Va., said he couldn't find one but he couldn't say for sure that the remedy hasn't been granted.

Manning has also offered to take responsibility for the leak by pleading guilty to reduced charges. The military judge hasn't yet ruled on the offer and prosecutors have not said whether they would still pursue the charges against him.

He was kept at the Marine Corps brig from July 2010 to April 2011. The military contends the treatment at Quantico was proper, given Manning's classification as a maximum-security detainee who posed a risk of injury to himself or others. He was later moved to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he was re-evaluated and given a medium-security classification.

A United Nations investigator called the conditions of Manning's time at Quantico cruel, inhuman and degrading, but stopped short of calling it torture.

Outside Fort Meade, about two dozen people gathered in the rain and under umbrellas to show support for Manning. Some held a banner that said, "Support Bradley Manning."

The 24-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., faces possible life imprisonment if convicted of aiding the enemy, the most serious of the 22 charges.

He is accused of sending hundreds of thousands of classified Iraq and Afghanistan war logs and more than 250,000 diplomatic cables to the secret-spilling website WikiLeaks while he was working as an intelligence analyst in Baghdad in 2009 and 2010.

Mike Holmgren leaving Browns uncertain of future

BEREA, Ohio (AP) ? Mike Holmgren's run as a team president is over, ending prematurely and before he planned.

For weeks, he has hung around Cleveland's offices doing what he could to help new owner Jimmy Haslam. Holmgren attended meetings, practices and games. He talked with players, coaches and consulted with his replacement, CEO Joe Banner, now in charge of running the Browns.

Holmgren made his pitch for the team to keep coach Pat Shurmur and general manager Tom Heckert beyond this season.

And now, there's nothing left. It's time for Holmgren to move on to the next phase of his life, which may or may not include another foray as an NFL coach.

Last week, he knew his work was finished.

"I was done," he said. "I already passed the baton."

Less than three years after signing a five-year contract with former owner Randy Lerner to fix Cleveland's franchise, Holmgren is leaving. His final day with the Browns will be Friday, and after that he and his wife, Kathy, will return to their home in Arizona, where the 64-year-old will contemplate his future.

"We are going to fly to Phoenix on Saturday and catch my breath a little bit and take it easy and ride my motorcycle," Holmgren said. "I honestly don't know if I'm going to go back to work immediately or not and I don't know if it's going to be in football."

This was not the exit he envisioned.

Holmgren thought he would leave amid a playoff push or as Cleveland celebrated finally winning a Super Bowl title like the one he helped bring to Green Bay. But everything changed when Haslam bought the Browns for $1.05 billion and hired Banner, who built the Philadelphia Eagles into perennial contenders.

Holmgren was the odd-man out.

He stayed to assist Haslam and Banner with the transition, and while he got some things accomplished, it became obvious he was no longer needed.

The Browns went just 12-31 under Holmgren, but he's proud of restoring the business side of the Browns and an on-the-field turnaround that may not be evident for several more years.

As he walks away, Holmgren was asked if he feels somewhat unsatisfied.

"Any time you don't reach your goals in this business on one hand then, yeah," he said. "Having said that, though, I really can feel good, and the guys who have been here can feel good about what the future holds. But time will tell."

It wasn't until he left the sideline that Holmgren realized how much he missed coaching. He longed for the interaction with players, and the chance to teach. He still hasn't gotten comfortable watching games from the press box, and he's hinted that he might coach again ? in the right situation.

After reports surfaced that he would be interested in coaching in Dallas if Jason Garrett was fired, Holmgren said he did not know where those rumors started. However, they gained more traction when he recently met owner Jerry Jones on the field before the Cowboys hosted the Browns.

Holmgren said he called Jones beforehand and they agreed it was OK to be seen together publicly.

"I phoned him and said if this caused any problem for anyone I apologize for that," Holmgren said. "He said absolutely not. I said, 'Listen, every time we play against each other, and it's been a number of times, we've always said hello and been cordial.' I said maybe this time I shouldn't do that if you rather I'd not do that. And he said, 'If you don't come and see me' in typical fashion, if you know him. I said, 'OK.' I talked to Stephen (Jones' son) before then Jerry came out. We talked about the stuff we always talk about ? family and the Salvation Army."

Holmgren, who last coached for Seattle in 2008, insists he isn't close to making a decision on a return to coaching.

"As of right now, I really haven't given it much thought other than the fact there are no plans right now," he said.

Banner said if Holmgren decided to coach, the Browns don't have any agreement where they would be compensated.

"Mike's free to do what he wants next in this field or whatever he'd like to do," he said.

Banner has spent time over the past few weeks meeting with Holmgren and has gotten a better handle on where the Browns are as an organization.

"He was just incredibly helpful and professional and supportive," Banner said. "As you know, we were more than happy to have him stay. But as he said from the beginning that once he kind of made the difference he could, it would probably be time to leave. I'm really appreciative of the time we had together. I think it helped me. I learned a lot through it."

During what he called "brutally honest" conversations with Banner, Holmgren gave strong endorsements not only for Shurmur and Heckert, but others working for the Browns. Before leaving, he wanted to make sure some of the people he had hired were given a fair chance to keep their jobs.

"All I could do is be honest and tell him what I thought," he said. "We had to make a bunch of changes in our first year, too. And so, we talked about that. We talked about all that stuff and that was the transition period. And now all the talking is done and I said what I had to say and now we'll see happens at the end of the year."

Holmgren exits the Browns with one regret ? not winning enough.

He feels he did all he could, and although he thought he understood the city's passion for the Browns, it was only when he came here that he fully grasped it.

He's leaving, but some of him will stay in Cleveland. When he watches the Browns from now on, he'll do so with pride.

"When they do well, I'll feel good about that," he said. "I'll feel good for the players and I'll feel good for the coaches and the organization and the people because I was here. I am very thankful that I got this opportunity to do this."

12 Most Relaxing Things to Do when there's no Internet

I?ve just returned from my annual vacation to the family cottage. When I tell people there is no cell phone coverage, no internet connection, no TV and not even very good radio coverage, most people think I?ve found the back door to heaven. For a social media consultant, however, going without internet for a week could be just the opposite.

I usually don?t have much trouble backing off my internet consumption for the week we?re away, but I admit I do have to travel up to the wifi caf? every couple of days to check on my client accounts and respond to emails. So, what does a web-addict do with all this newfound free time?

1. Take a nap

Chances are you?re sleep deprived. Depending on the study you read, adults need anywhere from six to 10 hours of sleep per night. I?m leaning more towards six, so I always get a few extra zzzzz?s on vacation.

2. Sit on the deck and watch the waves

Or the clouds, flowers, birds, animals? whatever you?ve got. Enjoy nature for a while.

3. Read a book

Whether you like a good old fashioned hard cover novel, the Kindle, or an audio book, having no internet connection is the perfect time to catch up on something you?ve been meaning to read. I quite enjoyed listening to an audio book while I sat and watched the waves from my deck. Then I picked up the hard cover I had brought with me. Two mindless reads in one week.

4. Write a blog post

Pretty clear that I have spent some of my vacation doing work. I think that?s the downfall of the entrepreneur? can you ever really?leave work? I always knock off a couple of blog posts while I?m away. Sometimes they are book reviews (if my books are business related), sometimes they?re about what to do when there?s no internet. Either way, I feel a bit more relaxed when I know there are a couple of posts waiting to be published when I get back. Takes a bit of the pressure off when I?m trying to get caught up.

5. Play a game

Lucky for me there are a bunch of people here at the cottage. Any time you want to play a game, there?s someone to play with. There?s nothing as relaxing as taking out your stress on the Scrabble board, or landing in a fit of the giggles with your family.

6. Go to the beach

Ok, ok? so the land-locked readers might have a harder time with this one. Our cottage happens to be in the Bay of Fundy with the highest tides in the world. Twice a day we have a huge beach on which to walk, fly kites or build sand castles.

7. Try a new coffee shop

This one is easy to do if you?re away from home. Go. Sit. Try a new blend and a decadent dessert while you?re there.

8. Organize your computer files

Yes, I?m serious! If you?ve been putting off getting your computer organized, take the time to do it now. If you got this far down on the list, really, what else do you have to do? And getting organized will definitely help you feel less stressed.

9. Sudoku

If Word Find and crossword isn?t your thing, check out the Sudoku puzzles in your local paper (or buy a book of them). These logic puzzles are a great way to keep your synapses firing.

10. Go for a walk

When was the last time you went for a walk? Not a power walk. Not a run. Just a walk to enjoy your natural surroundings? Go out and focus on nature for awhile. You might be amazed at what you notice. I?m sitting in the middle of a haven for Swallowtail and Monarch butterflies ? that?s fun!

11. Watch a movie

My kids use this one more than I do. Download, borrow, beg or steal, but take a couple of movies with you on your vacation. When everyone goes to bed early here I just pop in my ear buds and watch a movie.

12. Get back at that hobby

It?s been months since I touched my favorite hobby. If I were at home without internet I might actually be inspired to try making a card to send to someone. Alas, I?m at the family cottage and my dining room full of craft supplies is six hours away.

Hmmm. I don?t know about you, but now I don?t feel quite so bored without my internet connection. I guess I?ve been quite busy afterall this week, since I?ve done 11 out of the 12 things I?ve listed.

Oh, yes, and there is a 13th item I could list, but I?m at a shared, FAMILY cottage. And without internet I couldn?t ask if this was a FAMILY friendly blog, so I wasn?t sure if I should mention sex. Oops.

Robotic Pet Fish Available For Your Aquarium Now | RealityPod ...

Okay now anyone who has ever owned an aquarium full of fishes knows the difficulty in?maintenance?of pets and their habitat. Apparently it looks simple, but believe me it becomes quite hectic when you start taking care of your pet fish and their needs. To overcome such problems in these days of advanced robotics, Takara Tomy has come up with an idea of bringing robo-realistic fish to the market. Although it looks quite bizarre to have robotic pets but this could be the best solution for the lazy pet owners.

Takara Tomy?s robo-realistic fish can do almost anything what a real fish can do. They can swim in random patterns, eat, mimic their movements like a fish, they can even gather in schools of fish.?Each Robofish is powered by two lithium-ion watch batteries which drive the unit?s tail movements. So far the only short -coming is that of their?appearance,?as they look like real fishes from distance but once observer peek in he can clearly identify them as robotic. Perhaps better cosmetic features in future can remove such complaints as well. These robotic fish were unveiled?at the International Toy Show in Tokyo earlier this year. The price is $37 per piece. ?Take a look at the pictures below.
