CASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PLAN GIVEN BOOST WITH NEW EQUIPM...  
Development of Castal Zone Management Plan Given boost with New Equipment St. George’s Grenada 17 September, 2012: The Ministry of the Environment was the recipient of new equipment on Friday 14 September, amounting to US$20,000 from the Government of the Republic of South Korea to benefit the development of the Coastal Zone Management Plan. The research is to be conducted on the South and South-East Coasts of Grenada spanning from Telescope in the east to Point Salines in the south. Minister for the Environment, Hon. Glynis Roberts said this donation results from the strong relations that exist between the two countries and will contribute to the strengthening of these relations. Mrs. Roberts added that the Ministry of the Environment has placed Coastal Zone Management as a priority area for Grenada, in light of the likely impact of Climate Change on our coasts, bearing in mind that most of our important infrastructure lies along the coasts. The Environment Minister emphasized the importance of conducting the relevant studies that will provide information for the development of a Coastal Zone Management Plan. “The equipment being handed over today is important to provide baseline data for effective coastal zone management and to conduct studies such as sediment-logy and oceanography”, Minister Roberts noted. The Government of Korea’s representative Sungsoon Yoon also from the Korean Maritime Institute said the provision of equipment and training is included in the project plan. Mr Yoon said the equipment may not be “enough” but will be “very useful” in developing the Coastal Zone Management Plan. Four government officials were trained recently in Korea for the facilitation of the project. The handing over ceremony also marked the continuation of training in Grenada on the use of the equipment. The officers will be able to train others to use the equipment. One of the trainees, Senior Environment Officer in the Ministry of the Environment, Paul Phillip said the equipment will be used as part of the project’s monitoring programme. The equipment includes a leveling profiler. Mr. Phillip explained that this piece of equipment will be used to collect information such as angles, length and depth of the coast from the beaches. The Senior Environment Officer added that this information will enable them to determine whether a beach is losing or gaining sand. The funding is provided to Grenada by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and as part of the Expo Yeosu 2012 which was held in Korea with a total project cost of US$500,000 along with technical assistance. Expo Yeosu which was held over a three month period concluded in August where Grenada had a permanent booth. The booth design depicted the Marine under water sculpture at Moliniere and generated much interest among researchers, students, tourists and television crews. The expo was held under the theme “the Living Oceans and Coast”.

CASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT PLAN GIVEN BOOST WITH NEW EQUIPM...  
NumerousBeing around for years of wnihctag my dad battle with the issue, I will tell you from the start that , known as hemorrhoids might be one of the worst problems an individual can experience. I recall the sounds of suffering, along with the incapacity to live as a normal human being, I also remember the worry for my father, the instant he realised that the only way to receive some hemorrhoids treatment, would have been to have them removed through surgery. That was one thing he'd not really contemplate. Instead he put up with so much of the associated distress, right until he was admitted to the hospital for a problem that was totally different, and was also scheduled for emergency hemorrhoids operation.There are generally 5 distinct gradings with regards to hemorrhoids, some are evidently more severe than the others. It's estimated that as many as 25 percent of individuals in the USA are suffering from one of the several grading of hemorrhoids, and most don't ever seek the advise of their physician with regards to the condition. This makes it really difficult to have any sort of conclusive research as to what is the best way to handle the issue. Some medical professionals, after they do eventually find cases of hemorrhoids begin with the use of a quality hemorrhoids cream. Yet again though, it truly is based on the kind of hemorrhoids which you are afflicted with.Some hemorrhoids signs or symptoms may include: pain-free or painful bleeding hemorrhoids attached from the anus, itchy spots all around the anus, redness, or pain after a bowel movement. Any of these problems might be a case of hemorrhoids, and you should absolutely get this issue examined by a medical professional if ever any of these warning signs start to be present. The hazards involved with neglected could very well be so much more serious.If you believe or realise that you may have hemorrhoids, there are lots of ways that you may relieve the issue, with a perspective to fixing the problem entirely, depending on how bad you might have them presently. Warm bath water will definitely ease away the pain sensation that you may be experiencing, however when that works it's just effective while the pain continues. Warm baths will not cure this problem. While you are having a bowel movement, do not strain or push too hard. This could irritate your hemorrhoids, and also result in even more discomfort.The range of hemorrhoids treatment alternatives is pretty vast, and they're each simply effective for the grade of hemorrhoids that you're experiencing, with the exception of surgical treatment that is. There are lots of ointments and also medicinal lotions to put on grade 1 and 2 hemorrhoids. There's a procedure called banding, which involves the doctor placing a band round the top of the hemorrhoids, effectively cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoids treatment, ultimately making them disappear. This can take some days, and it's really only used with Grade 2 hemorrhoids. Obviously the ultimate cure is surgery, and if you're worried about the quality of life you have while battling this condition, particularly bleeding hemorrhoids, then you're best advised to consult with your doctor right away so they can help make the appropriate decision on your behalf.
