Sri Lanka, Australia Day and Australian Values – The Australian values are conceptualised as inherent in the Australian way of life – by Lionel Bopage by Lionel Bopage ( ( January 26, 2018, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) A national day such as Australia Day needs to reflect upon their ideal social and moral values and contribute to educating the younger generations to appreciate and adhere to those ideals. It should be a day where those people could feel that the country belongs to them and their future generations; and in doing so to a feel being united and reconciled with each other. This poses a conceptual question. If a country had been subjected to colonial rule after armed subjugation and suppression, could the people of that country feel free with a sense of belonging and united, if the day of that subjugation of their country is being celebrated as the national ...
The problem with metformin – Good advice from Dr Harold Are you taking metformin for your diabetes? It is prescribed for over 120 million people worldwide. Do you have any frequent digestive problems such as diarrhoea, flatulence, heavy feeling in your lower abdomen? These symptoms may be due to taking metformin for years. These gastro-intestinal problems start years after being on metformin. There are two forms of metformin: regular and extended release. Most problems are with the regular one.

I am writing this information because my wife has been complaining of occasional bloating of her tummy and heavy feeling in the lower abdomen. Recently a pelvic ultra sound done revealed nothing to worry about. I then asked her to ...
