Save the children:
Lately the International organization Save the Children made a
study about the effects of the new communication technology and how
this is producing an antisocial generation who are unable to make
friends and often suffer from isolation. The results of this survey
showed that among 100 teachers 70 of them confirmed that staying
alone for hours using the internet reflected badly on the students
social activities. Lourna Redien, developing schools manger, at the
organization confirmed that the search concluded that chatting
sites on the internet, computer games and all kinds of modern
communication technology made it very difficult for the children to
deal with each others thus their behavior became very bad and
unfriendly in addition to that, there are some trends towards
violence and using power while they react with others instead of
preferring peaceful and rational ways. The study also warned about
the decrease of childrens soft/social skills, as having no good
relations while they are young will make it hard for them to deal
with their colleagues in the future. should find good reasons to
refuse their requests or suggest an alternative. Housewife, Doaa
Hassan shared with us her own story of her 3 children. She is very
aware about the scale of this problem, so she decided not to let
her children to use the computer more than once a week, as a sort
of entertainment which she gave them as motivation to finish their
homework. During the summer holidays where they had more spare time
she made sure to divide their time between hobbies, gym and
computer, in this way she saved her kids from becoming addiction to
the internet. Doctor Tamer Gamal the psychologist and the manger of
Ishraq Center for Psychosocial Counseling said that the main reason
which makes the child become addicted to technology 93 2102
is that he misses social interaction and conversation with his
family so he searches for his own, isolated life like playing
computer games or chatting with strangers. Doctor Tamer says that
the silver screen (television) is known to attract children. Thus
children are always recieving what the TV broadcast without
disscusing it with his parents and belives it as a style of life.
At the same time parents are busy at work and forget their duties
towards their children, which may lead to some phsyological
problems. He also said that newspapers and the media started to
talk about this research they warned parents about their childrens
addiction to technology. Mothers started to prevent their children
from using television and computer but failed to give them
something useful to do to spend their time. The correct way is to
reduce the number of hours spent watching television gradually
because it is difficult to prevent this suddenly without giving the
child an alternative source of entertainment. Parents should find
something the child likes to do and provide it for them which will
made keep them busy with useful things such as toys, games or
visiting other family members.
Mohamed Soliman el Alawi a father of 3 children said: The
information technology revolution made our children want to know
everything, especially as they are dealing all the time with
different types of media. The internet in particularly, robbed them
of their childhood This technology provides a lot of information
for our children and some of this information shouldnt be available
for their ages he added. Al Alawi explained how it becomes
difficult for children to grow up within the framework of
traditional values and traditions. The old stories and folktales
give advice or scary ideas about trusting stranger. He also said:
Children nowadays dont believe that they are young. They act with
their parents and teachers like they are equal in age or even older
because they believe that they know about technology more than
their parents. Thus children begin to think that their parents or
teachers know less than them, and they lost the feeling of
respecting the elders. They think that the school and education
arent important any more, and obedience has no meaning at all.
Besides this, the education system in our Arabic countries is
getting worse which has turned education into a hard process
instead of an interesting one and a pleasure,so students hate it
and prefer to neglect it. Soliman added. He also stressed that the
impact of the media is increasing while the role of the parents is
decreasing. The problem is that parents try to build the character
of their children based on true and useful knowledge but everything
is collapsing due to the impact of the media. In addition to
neglecting their parents children are busy trying to gain money and
provide more comfortable situations for their children. All this
explains how dangerous is getting increase and situations are very
wrong Childhood means that children make mistakes and learn how to
behave in the correct way from their parents directives which helps
them to have a normal life and enjoy their parents tolerance, mercy
and love. Hatem El Zedjali says that, Parents have to do their best
to teach kids that life is in stages and they will move from one
stage to another according to a natural evolution as God planned to
us. In this way they will have the chance to enjoy and learn from
every stage. He also advised parents to protect their children from
everything even themselves in addition to keeping the religious
morals, since the first years without violence or insults using
simple and short sentences. Parents also have to make sure to give
their children good reasons explaining why certain behavior is
right and others are wrong. He also said that parents have to give
their children opportunities to express themselves, listen to their
opinions and do not ignore them. And when its difficult to approve
their requests parents2012

Nowadays we cannot find a house that does not have at least one
computer or a smart phone. A farewell the new technology did give
to us, where children used to enjoy themselves with it for
continuous hours, which turned to be addiction. Childrens addiction
with computers, internet and even mobile phones has begun to be a
serious problem that most parents face nowadays. Alroya decided to
explore parents opinions about this problem and how they act
towards it.95 2102

Plastic surgery has become one of lifes necessities for a lot of
women all over the world, who wish for a perfect body. The fitness
dream has encouraged them to seek new medical technology to achieve
their perfect body with little pain and no effort. Body lifting was
the perfect solution for a lot of people who suffer from a flabby
body. Modern medicine tried to cure the flabbiness by using
silicone in the breasts but it didnt have solutions for other parts
of the body until it discovered body lifting. Dr Ramie Andari a
plastic surgeon at the KOZMY CLICK Center is going to tell us more
about body lifting.Can you explain to us how a face-lift operation
is performed? Surgeons nowadays are removing wrinkles bylifting the
deep layers of skin instead of lifting the surface layers. This
operation is designed for the skin of the face and neck, by using
either local anesthesia or full anesthesia. A surgical incision is
made behind the hair line, then behind the ears. Sometimes the
surgeon needs to made a small incision under the chin to lift the
neck muscles. Then the surgeon begins to lift and pull the flabby
muscles and lift the connective tissue in the deep layers under the
skin, sometimes the surgeon uses liposuction and curettage the
protrusion pones in the jaw. After that he stitches the skin to
ensure healing without any scars. Occasionally it needs a soft
ribbon for a few days. This operation takes about3 hours, and most
of it is done using the local anesthesia and sedatives. However,
the surgeon sometimes feels that it is better to use full
anesthesia for certain cases where the patient will feel little
pain after the surgery and can take painkillers for a while. What
is the difference between face lift and body lift procedures, and
when does a surgeon decided a body lift is required? A face lift is
only an operation on the face, while a body lift can be in
different places of the body. A doctor will decide to perform a
body lift when an obese patient loses 15 kilograms at once which
causes flabbiness all over the body especially for those who do not
do any sports. We can say that plastic surgery was found/discovered
actually for those who lose weight suddenly. There are many kinds
of body lift depending on the flabby area, A plastic surgeon cannot
perform a body lift on the whole body at once, it takes stages.
Abdominal lift . This is the most popular surgery among body
lifting surgeries, where a doctor removes the extra skin above and
under the navel. During the operation the flabby muscles are
treated, it takes 2-3 hours under full anesthesia. After surgery
patients are advised to wear a corset for at least a month. Arm
lift. It is a plastic surgeons aim to raise a patients spirit, as
after losing weight, the skin in this area is flabby and can be
seen. Women in particular feel so disappointed that she cant wear
the clothes she likes. This surgery is to improve the look of the
arms after losing weight. There2012

Dr. Ramie Andari: Body lifting is the only key befitting the

Be happy.I am privileged to work in an environment that I adore.
Hand on heart I can honestly say that I love my job and have done
since the day I started work 44 years ago. I guess I am content
with what I have and where I am. However, when I look around, I see
and hear a lot of very unhappy people. I have noticed changes of
attitude in friends and colleagues over the years and have always
tried to help and support whenever I can, so when I read an article
on the 12 Secrets of Being Happy. I thought I should share them
with you to see if even one little piece of advice would brighten
your day or help you to support someone in need ACCEPT WHAT YOU
HAVE. Happy people want what they can get. We spend a lot of time
complaining about the things that happen to us, and this is a waste
of time and effort. To be happy, we need to enjoy what we have.
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO (this is one of my favourites) Happy people do
what they enjoy and enjoy what they do and dont do it for the money
or glory. What is the point in being stuck in a job you hate,
surrounded by unfriendly colleagues just because the money is good?
People forget that they are allowed to be happy at work. LIVE FOR
TODAY Dont dwell on the past or previous failures. Dont dream about
a future that doesnt exist.. Happy people live for the now, and
have positive mind sets. If you cant be happy today, what makes you
think tomorrow will be different? CHOOSE HAPPINESS Re-evaluate your
goals. Imagine your life as a story that you can edit and revise as
you go along. You need to actively choose to be happy.
RELATIONSHIPS We get our happiness from other people, and from
supporting other people. We are all other people to someone else.
Cherish people who are important to you. Never miss an opportunity
to tell or show someone that you care. STAY BUSY If you want to be
happier, develop an outgoing, social personality, accept that
dinner invitation, join road runners, the book club or choir. The
best way to savour pleasure is in the company of others. Build a
rich social life, not as an obligation, but because it is
rewarding, meaningful and fun. Active, busy, social people are the
healthiest and happiest, in society. Make your motto USE IT OR LOSE
IT. DONT COMPARE Ambition is healthy and makes people happy, but
envy makes them unhappy. Focus on your goals and dreams so you can
enjoy your ambition and achievements. BE YOURSELF It is important
not to worry about what others think about you, only then can you
truly be yourself. A hard lesson to learn, but once you can accept
who you are, your life will be so much better and you will be a lot
happier. Happy people are spontaneous, natural and real; they say
what they think but try not to hurt others in the process. THINK
POSITIVE Bottling up emotions and bad feelings creates
psychological distress; happy people get things off their chest.
Their motto is: get rid of it, or it will get rid of you.
Successful athletes know how to focus on winning, not losing. We
need to switch from a negative, glass-half-empty outlook to a
glass-half-full and put optimism into practice to be happiest.
VALUE HAPPINESS Happiness can be learned, but finding meaning and a
purpose in life is what leads to it, not the other way around. The
happiest people appreciate and realise that being happy adds years
to their life, and life to their years. Extracted from The World

have good salaries from the Government and they do not? Now it is
expected that most of the volunteers are going to drop out, and the
Association will not be able to help the families in the same way
they used toIs it expected that the 10 branches of the Association
are going to close and declare bankruptcy, which will have a
negative effect on the families of disabled children! What can we
say to this disabled children in Barka, Al Masanaa, Saham,Yanqel,
Dank and Galan Bani bu Hassan? How can we face the workers in the
Association centers in Es-Seeb, Qrayat and El Ezebah? Can we blame
limited donations or wonder why there is not Government support for
the Association?

charity work. She said that our Prophet Mohamed, (pbuh) said
that you all are shepherds and everyone is responsible for his
sheep, and his statement the way that believers love each others,
mercy and help each other is the same way the one body is working,
when one organ is in pain all organs suffer with it and do its best
to cure it. In a private interview with the Chairman of the
Association, Doctor Mohamed Redha Hassan, we learnt more about the
association. He said that it was first established in 1992 as the
founders felt that they had a responsibility towards disabled
children, whatever kind of disability they had and no matter where
the children lived, so the association decided to help the families
of these children and taught them how to care for and deal with
their children. The Association was initially established to help
the government in its responsibility for the children, which meant
that the Association was only an assistant for fundraising but the
Association found itself without any help from the government. What
we should notice is that the volunteer role of this Association is
dependent on donations from people who have good hearts and from
foundations who are aware of their have social responsibility. The
problem is that these donations arent always enough to allow to the
Association to do its work and provide for the needs of all of the
children.
Although this problem the association could achieve a lot, as it
always interfere very early -in the age of six- to help the disable
child which makes big difference in this children lives. There are
now 6 medical centers to help and rehabilitate blind, deaf and
disabled children, the Association discovered that most of those
children had Autism, so it decided to open another center for
Autism. Doctor Mohamed Redha also emphasized that the main aim of
the association is
to, Enroll the child in the society, to enable him live in a
normal way like others, and to tell the family how to raise the
child focusing on developing his personality, being aware of the
society of its responsibility towards the disabled The Association
also supports scientific research in these fields so we can say
that it is an important part of the developing process of Oman just
like the economic research and projects for which the government
takes care. Now the big question that the chairman asks is, How
long will the Association be able to maintain its role when it is
depending on charity from people and companies, while the labour
market tempts the staff with better salaries? We can conclude the
expanding problem features in: Volunteer work needs a long-term
strategy, but it is difficult to keep staff2012

What a difference 2 days can make! One day Doctors told Mohammed
al Balushis father that his son was suffering from a very rare
disease called epidermolysis bullous. There is no known cure for
the disease anywhere in the world and so Mohammed will lose his
fingers. A day earlier Mohammed was playing the piano better than
any other child! Mohammeds father was of course sad but he did not
lose hope so he took his son home and started to think. The child
began a life of isolation within his home, but hated that he did
not look like the other children. Finally his father removed
Mohammed from this solitary confinement and took him to the
Association for the Care of Disabled Children. Here, Mohammed made
the transition from isolation and adapted very well to the outside
world under the care and supervision of the staff in the
association. Within a few days Mohammed made great progress with
his reading and writing and the staff soon discovered his musical
talent. Now Mohammed wins awards for playing the piano in different
competitions.
Who is responsible for ending the suffering of Mohammed and his
family? Who changed his life from solitary confinement to success?
Who made him forget the pain and introduced him back into society
as a talented child and not as a disabled child? What happened to
Mohamed is still happening to lots of children enrolled in the 10
branches of the Association. There is also the story of Abdualla,
who was born with a hard/HEART disease as he did not receive enough
oxygen at birth so his brain had an atrophy. This has prevented him
from waking/ walking, speaking, focusing and even chewing. After
joining the association, Abdualla can sit-down on his own and is
trying to talk by making some sounds. He is learning how to walk on
his own. His father really hopes he will be able to walk someday.
What cant be forgotten are the remarkable and beautiful drawings by
a young girl called Qrayat. I first thought that she perhaps had an
illness in her legs but I was surprised to discover that she has no
hands and she draws with her legs!!! Dont these workers in the
Association deserve all the appreciation we can give for the way
they change the lives of those with disabilities? Dont they deserve
to be honoured like heroes? Workers and volunteers in this
Association are people who feel that they have a duty towards
society, to do their best to serve this country. These young ladies
came to the Association despite having offers of good jobs outside
of the association, but they preferred to work for the Association
even with very low salaries. Some of them are mothers and graduates
from good faculties others have master degree in social studies.
The Association manager, Wafaa El Kaseby, had an offer to work with
a salary which is equal to 300% of her present salary, but she
didnt want to stop her 103 2102
