THINGS are bound to get hotter over the next eight weeks, as the summer brings long, steamy days and cooler nights. And when things heat up, you can either ride out the heatwave like a champ, or wither up and lose the opportunity to take advantage of all summer has to offer....more
The truth about ultrasound scanning
Monday, June 29, 2009
ULTRASOUND has been used in obstetrics to look at babies for over 30 years. The word 'ultrasound' refers to sound waves at a frequency greater than the human ear can appreciate. The ultrasound probe that is placed on your belly sends out these sound waves which are reflected from your baby back to the machine. The computer in the machine then forms an image of your baby which you see on the screen. No harmful effects from ultrasound to babies have been found. Unlike X-rays, no radiation is used. Sound waves can increase body temperature but this is significant only for prolonged exposure times....moreMonday, June 29, 2009

We are surrounded by colour every second of the day from the moment we open our eyes in the mornings until we close them at nights. It should come as no surprise to learn that individual colours are believed to have an impact on emotions and the way we behave. Colour is light energy and it affects living cells, thus it has, without our realising, a profound effect on how we feel both mentally and physically....moreIssues with our grandfather's will
Monday, June 29, 2009
Dear Mrs Macaulay, I know that this might not be your area of expertise but I think you might be able to help my family and me. In the 1980s my grandfather and grandmother were named in a will as having inherited a few parcels of land from an elderly woman for whom they provided care. The will was probated and my grandfather and one of my uncles were there for the reading of the will. This was about 1985-86. Unfortunately they never secured a copy of the probated will. Now my grandparents are up in age and a will is to be written for them so that the properties can be shared among their children. My mother and aunts have tried unsuccessfully, on a number of occasions, to get a copy of the will from the Supreme Court but because they do not have a reference number, the search is proving unsuccessful. Please note that the properties have been surveyed recently and my grandparents have been paying taxes on them since the 80s. However, they have been paid in the name of the deceased. The lawyer who handled the case has since passed on and the documents concerning the will have been destroyed. We have tried to get the information from members of the dead woman's family but, for some reason, they have refused to help. Is there any other avenue that we can explore in order to obtain a copy of this will? My grandmother is very ill so any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated....moreWROC's family medical clinic still making an impact

Dear RB, I think that I am going crazy by writing this but I do not know what to do. My nine-year- old son told me that he thinks about kissing boys sometimes. He says he really does not want to do it, but he thinks about it. Should I be concerned about this? Is there a reason that he is having these thoughts? Is this normal? Please answer quickly. — JB...moreMonday, June 29, 2009

Monday, June 29, 2009
CONDOM negotiation is an essential part of a sexual relationship, especially in light of the fact that over 27,000 Jamaicans are carriers of the HIV virus, with 75 per cent of that amount not aware that they are in fact infected. But when a partner of say five or 10 years suddenly ups and tells his/her spouse that they feel they should start using a condom, eyebrows are lifted and questions raised....moreOf Fleeing the Scene…Sexual revolution & Sudden & Poor
