The worldwide norm is to see it as an indispensable national representatives with competitive skills in an increasingly globalized international environment where diplomacy has become a virtual growth industry. regardless of the seniority, expertise, foreign ministry recruits, as a professional diplomatic profession. In addition, the spouses of all government officials who will be posted to missions abroad need orientation too, as they will be contributing in countless ways to the success of our diplomatic endeavors. Diplomatic training can no longer be restricted to officials who embark on a diplomatic career through the Foreign Service. The primary carriage of Fijis Foreign Policy may lie with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs but every other ministry in the government machinery has a role to play in Fijis international relations, Ratu Inoke said.

Through the course, participants will explore in detail the changing world of international diplomacy, challenges for foreign services and the emergence of new power centers in world politics. Technological advancements in communication, transportation and economic interdependence of world economics have brought events far away from our national border closer to home, and emerging issues that do not respect borders mean that these events occurring far away can affect our security and wellbeing at home, Ratu Inoke said. the agenda of international diplomacy such as terrorism, global financial crises and climate change.

australian wOman man with 45kg scrOtum needs $1m surgery survives attack By a las vegas man with a medical large kangarOO condition that has caused his scrotum to
an australian woman said she thought she was about to die when a huge kangaroo attacked her while she was walking her dogs. Janet Karson, of the southwestern Australian town of Deanmill, told The West Australian newspaper that she was walking her dogs last Saturday when the kangaroo appeared. One of her dogs chased after it and she hurried to catch up. When she arrived, she said, the kangaroo had its claws locked onto her pet. I used a stick to lever its claws off my dog and then it reared up in front of me it was huge, Karson told the newspaper. All I can remember is its claws going to work on me and the smell of my own blood when my head fell on to its chest. I thought, Thats it, Im finished. It all happened so quickly it was over in a few seconds. Karson isnt sure if the dogs fought the kangaroo off her or if it decided to end the attack on its own. The mauling left her with cuts to her neck, ears and back. She said she needed 20 stitches to close the wounds to her ears. I honestly believe its a miracle Im alive, she said. It is not clear what kind of kangaroo attacked the woman. Male red kangaroos, the worlds largest marsupial, can grow as tall as a man and weigh around 200 pounds Kangaroo attacks against humans are rare, but they do happen occasionally. In July, an attacking red kangaroo with a broom before police subdued the animal with pepper spray. swell to more than 45kg is trying to raise $us1 million for surgery to correct it.

Although he knew some people would laugh at his condition, Mr Warren decided to go on Howard Sterns radio and cable I dont like being a freak, who would? he said. But I figured that the Stern show is listened to by millions of people and they might want to help me. I hope some millionaire or billionaire will want to help me. His condition is rarely seen outside of the tropical areas of Africa and Asia and is usually caused by a mosquito-spread parasitic infection. But Mr Warren said he had never travelled to tropical areas and believes the condition is down to an accident in 2008, when he caught his testicles with his leg while twisting in bed. The next day Mr Warren said his scrotum had grown to the size of a soccer ball and continued growing.

Since listeria can cause illness as long as two months after a person has consumed contaminated food, health officials have warned that the cases of illness related to the cantaloupes likely will rise through October. Jensen Farms in Colorado issued a voluntary recall of its Rocky Ford brand cantaloupes in mid-September. Cantaloupes that are known to not have come from Jensen Farms are safe to eat, the CDC said. Listeria monocytogenes is a frequent cause of U.S. food recalls in processed meats and cheeses, but contamination in fresh produce is a new and worrisome development. People most at risk are the elderly, pregnant women and people with a weakened immune system, such as those who have had organ transplants or cancer.

The Falun district court in central Sweden handed the women, who are aged between 38 and 70, suspended sentences and ordered them to pay fines ranging from The ringleader in the case, however, was distributed large quantities of pornographic material featuring children to the women. He was convicted of aggravated child pornography and sentenced to one year in prison.

When he was arrested in September 2010, he was in possession of 1181 still shots and According to the court, the photographs and movies depict children being raped by adults, in some cases with the children tied up. The court found that most of the women were psychologically unstable and were responsible for their actions. The prosecutor had proven that the images had been sent to the women and the chats and emails proved that the women had wanted the images, it said. Skoglund had taken advantage of the womens poor psychological states and longing for human contact. The women all told the court they were not interested in child pornography.

health food for heart Older women could patients, diabetics prevent osteoporosis
People suffering from heart diseases and diabetes should eat a lot of beans, soybean, tofu and lentils as these are rich in proteins and low on fat and cholesterol, an expert said. With the number Indians suffering from diabetes and heart ailments on the rise, an interactive cooking session Healthy food for healthy heart was conducted by nutritionist Ishi Khosla at the Max Super Speciality Hospital. To eat is a necessity but to eat intelligently is an art. We want people to change their eating habits by choosing which foods to eat more and which to limit, Khosla said. The nutritionist conducted a cooking session where simple, quick and easy to make recipes for people suffering from heart diseases and diabetes were shared. The recipes shared today are not only healthy but appealing by experimenting with ingredients like beans, soybean, tofu and lentils, which are rich in protein and contain less fat and no cholesterol. According to Khosla, people do not opt for healthier substitutes till it is too late. People should opt for green tea, whole grains like brown rice and barley. The problem with us is that we never value health is till sickness comes, said Khosla.
by drinking beer
Older women could protect themselves against osteoporosis in later life by drinking a pint of beer a day, according to new research. A new study has shown that ale is an ideal source of dietary silicon, which is crucial in the formation of new bone. Although silicon is contained in some plants and beans, one of the richest and most easily absorbed sources is beer. In the new study, Professor Jonathan Powell, head of nutrition research at Cambridge University, studied the effects of beer on bone formation and found that ethanol which is also present in alcohol helps to prevent bone loss and silicon encourages the growth of new bone. Silicon combines with the hormone as women age, their estrogen levels fall, and so, as they get older, it is important for women to take in a good daily amount of silicon, Prof Powell quoted. Our research shows that the absorption rate of silicon from beer is the highest of any foodstuff. A pint of beer contains around 8mg of silicon around a third of our daily recommended intake. from drinking a half-pint a day as a means of absorbing silicon, and post-menopausal day, he added.
The majority of subjects took antihypertensive drugs and still had a study participants gained weight.

experts including one of an indian origin have suggested that a diet rich in fruit and raw vegetables could be the key to beating heart disease. In one of the largest diet and heart studies conducted, they found the potent mixture of these everyday foods could have a major impact on long-term health. Eating high levels of the combination daily has been shown to dramatically weaken the effects of a key gene in the body, which is a big cause of heart disease. Their analysis found that those who ate a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables gene, effectively protecting them from developing the killer disease. We observed that the effect of a high-risk genotype can be mitigated by consuming a diet high in fruits and vegetables, the study co-author Professor Sonia Anand, from McMaster University in Canada, quoted as saying.
