Historical Traveler Reviews Safir Hotel Hurghada
An enjoyable off season break
We booked this holiday purely as something to do over half term and went with our daughter aged 7. This was our first time in Egypt as a family although I have been many times some years back for sightseeing. We expected little - just a change of scenery, hopefully a bit of sun all for an extraordinarily low package price for half board. What we got was a thoroughly enjoyable week away that centred around a very attentive 3 person animation team that entertained our daughter day and evening - we reluctantly participated a couple of times, which only added to our daughters enjoyment.
The room was spacious with fridge and TV and clean - no insects, no mould, slightly dated but more than OK versuswhat we expected.
Dinner was simple, fresh, basic salad, meat and fish. There was an egg/crepe station at breakfast which involved very little waiting and a good selection of breads and pastries.
Drinks at the bar, for Egypt, were expensive, but in comparison to "home" not so. The wine however was a revelation - Egyption Cabernet Sauvignon at EP 110 was very drinkable indeed, certainly more so than most French vin de table - with a different provenance, it would probably be chosen if taste were the main criteria.
Small tips to the gratious staff go a long way - for the sake of a few pounds here and there you can make a few peoples' days.
Take this hotel for what it is and you'll enjoy it. Expect luxury and sophistication at these prices, you'll be disappointed.
Un joli petit hôtel à Hurghada
Nous y �tions pour notre lune de miel, notre derni�re �tape en Egypte. Les repas �taient bons, vari�s et savoureux. Le personnel...apparemment ils �taient mal pay�s et tr�s tristes (ceux du pays...tr�s agressifs). Je recommande cet h�tel pour son emplacement (avec 2-3 ep, - 0,27 � 0,40 € - on peut aller n'importe o� � Hurghada... mais attention � ne pas prendre un maxi-taxi � la place d'un taxi...ils vous feraient payer 10 fois plus cher)...
C'est un super endroit pour nager sous l'eau et faire de la plong�e...il y a un bon club.
Pas de probl�mes majeurs.
Un bel hôtel propre et sympa
Mon ami et moi, nous sommes all�s en Egypte pour No�l et avons dormi � l'h�tel Safir Hurghada, juste � 15 mn en voiture de l'a�roport. C'�tait un h�tel tr�s propre et agr�able.
Tous les employ�s �taient tr�s sympas et serviables. Nous �tions en chambre plus petit d�jeuner, mais nous avons pris presque tous nos repas � l'h�tel. L'�quipe d'animateurs �tait un peu bizarre!
Il y avait beaucoup de vent mais aussi du soleil, vous �tes pr�venus !
C'est un h�tel que je recommanderais certainement.
Une nuit absolument horrible
Nous �tions un groupe de 3 et avons pass� une nuit au Safir en avril. Nous devions avoir une chambre dans la partie de l'h�tel donnant sur la plage, mais comme ils �taient complets (soit-disant), ils nous ont mis de l'autre c�t� de la rue.
La chambre que j'avais donnait sur la rue devant, et derri�re il y avait la cour de la blanchisserie, o� travaillaient �galement les ouvriers de la maintenance. C'�tait difficile de fermer l'oeil avec les conversations incessantes des ouvriers pendant toute la nuit, et le bruit des voitures c�t� rue.
Dans la salle de bains, il y avait 1 savonnette et il avait d�j� fallu que j'aille demander une bouteille de shampoing. Je suis retourn� � la r�ception une seconde fois pour demander une deuxi�me savonnette pour la douche.
L'employ� qui �tait de service cet apr�s-midi-l� �tait d�sagr�able, il m'a dit qu'il m'avait d�j� donn� du shampoing, alors qu'est-ce-que je voulais encore et que j'�tais vraiment p�nible et commen�ais � l'�nerver.
La douche �tait horrible. N'acceptez pas qu'ils vous mettent dans une chambre de l'autre c�t� de la rue.
Ein kleines & nettes Hotel in Hurghada
Es war das letzte Ziel unserer Flitterwochen in �gypten. Das Essen war toll, gro�e Auswahl und sehr lecker. Das Personal...sie waren offensichtlich unterbezahlt und nicht sehr gl�cklich (die Einheimischen waren sehr aggressiv). Ich kann das Hotel wegen der Lage empfehlen (f�r 2-3 EP kommt man �berall in Hurghada; aber Vorsicht, steigen Sie nicht in ein Maxi-Taxi ein, die verlangen den 10-fachen Preis). Toller Platz zum Schnorcheln und Tauchen. Es gibt dort einen guten Club. Nichts gro� auszusetzen.
Nettes, sauberes und freundliches Hotel
Mein Partner und ich waren �ber Weihnachten in �gypten und haben im Safir Hotel Hurghada �bernachtet, knapp 15 Minuten vom Flughafen entfernt. Das Hotel war sehr sauber und angenehm. Die Angestellten waren allesamt sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir hatten �bernachtung mit Fr�hst�ck gebucht, aber wir haben auch sonst oft im Hotel gegessen. Das Animationsteam war ein wenig seltsam! Das Wetter war zwar sonnig, aber auch sehr windig. Also aufgepasst. Kann dieses Hotel definitiv empfehlen.
A litlle & nice place in hurghada
we were there on our honeymoon the final destination on egypt
food was great,various and tastefull;the staff ..... they were obviouslly underpayed and very sad ( the natives ..very agressive)
i recomend this hotel for his location (for 2-3 ep you can get enywere in hurghada...but pay atention not to accept a maxi taxi as a taxi...they will charge you 10 time)
....great place for snorqeling and scubadiving..there is a good club; no major complains
Overnight Stay Absoutely Awful
Our tour group of 3 stayed overnight at Safir in April. We were suppose to stay at the beach front area but since they were fully booked (so they say) we stayed across the street. The room I got faced the street in the front , and the back faced the laundry / maintenance yard for the workers. It was difficult to sleep of the constant talking of the workers thru the night and the cars on the street. The bathroom had 1 bar of soap and had to ask for a bottle of shampoo. Went to the reception area a second time to ask for another bar of soap in the shower area. The guy working that afternoon was rude and said he already given me shampoo so what else do I want and that I was being difficult and giving him a bad time. The shower area was awful looking. Don't let them give you the rooms across the street.
How can you say the entertainment team were dodgy?!?!
I have just got back from the safir after a 2 week break for the school holidays. it was absoloutly excellent the staff were the friendliest people i have ever met(even more polite than the greek) i became best of friends with the animatiomn team staff giza and hamada.and they bent over backwards to help us. they don't get many english at the hotel you see and the english are of the many that actually stop to have a chat with the staff all the other people are just plain rude so do stop and have a chat,they'll like it very much and you might just have a new friend for life!
we booked 3 boat trips at the joker center there(the private aqua center)
we went to el gouna and giftun island.we loved giftun so much that we decided to go for a 2nd time and loved it even more than the first i highly reccomend both the trips.me and my family also went on the safari through the desert which can be booked at reception by the small shops it was very fun,me and my mum and dad went in the jeep with another english family whilst my brother went on the quad bike.he thoroughly enjoyed it. and so did we.(but do wear sensible shoes because there is a mountain to climb if you want to see the beautiful sunset)
the rooms were SOOO clean and every day we got a differnt sculpture on the bed and the head cleaner and the gardener used to bring in a bunch of flowers for me every day.
but i must warn you... the cleaners may say top you after cleaning your room that they are going to live with there parents for a while back in cairo or luxor....f.y.i. this is so you give them a little tip for the ride....DON'T DO IT...cuz all that will happen is you will see them the next day sweeping up the leaves..they will soon scuttle off once they see you..
but that is the only bad point really to staying at this hotel me and my family loved it so much that we are going back when it isn't even open to english customers...we are staying at another hotel very clse by so that we can go and visit all the staff and giza and hamada when ever we want. i highly reccomend this hotel for stays but remember to stock up on the sun cream..we ran out in the first week and it is very dear to buy out there..
btw the town og new hurghada is excellent we didn't go to the old one but the new one was enough try the ramstores,hurghada stars and the abu ashra market.
thats all for now and i hope this was useful to you!!
yours sincerly Lucy Gould,13
Nice, Clean and Friendly Hotel
My partner and i spent christmas in Egypt staying @ the Safir Hotel Hurghada,a short 15 min ride from the airport. The hotel was very clean and pleasant. Hotel staff were all very friendly and very accomadating. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis although we also ate the majority of our meals @ the hotel. Enterainment team a bit dodgy! Weather was very windy but sunny so be prepared! would definately recommend this hotel.

My dog, Eden, was an American Bulldog shot and killed by Jones
Customer Question
My dog, Eden, was an American Bulldog shot and killed by Jones County Sheriff deputy, XXXXX XXXXXttle Jr. on 5/25/2012. She was merely on my neighbors property across from my mothers home where they were kept confined since 2008. The deputy's prejudice against pit bulls lead him to react instead of investigate. He claimed Eden became aggressive after she was pepper sprayed, and began to attack him when he turned to enter his patrol car. Thus, turning to her with his weapon drawn firing one shot in which he claim was the shoulder. The Animal control officer was called after the shooting to find Eden lying paralyzed waist down still breathing. My dogs did not have a collar on them because they were fenced inside. It happened on a Memorial Day weekend, and I could not contact the Animal Control Office until Tuesday 5/29/2012. I have filed a complaint with the Sheriff's department, sent Eden for a legal necropsy. Should I file a civil suit or a criminal suit and post what happen?

Hi and
thank you
for using JustAnswer!
I am very sorry to learn of your loss. Please clarify: what was the deputy's dog-bite injury(ies)?
Ask Your Own Legal Question
replied 4 years ago.
The Jones County Deputy suffered no injuries. My American bulldogs were fenced in a 10 X 10 on my mothers property. Prior to that they had full run of her back yard until the house caught fire Aug 2011, forcing me to put them in a small 10X10. I did not have them with a collar in their pen, and I did not have them with a microchip. Since 2008 they have only escaped the property twice. This last time they were on a parrallel street and the neighbor claim the dogs were aggresive to him and he called the Jones County Sheriff department. According to them, the dogs did not bite anyone, or destroy any property. Reportedly, they were barking aggressively at the other neighbors dog behind the neighbors fence. The deputy reported that the dogs approached him as he exited his patrol car to investigates the neighbors complaint. He then stated he attempted to close his patrol car door when the dogs approached him. He drew his pepper spray to shoo the dogs away is what he claimed. My male dog, Caleb laid down while the female Eden continued her approach then backed off. He stated he then turned toward his vehicle when Eden approached him aggressively, so he drew his weapon and fired. Hitting her in the shoulder. Animal Control was notified after the shooting to the scene. When they arrived on scene, ACO (Animal Control Officer) Jennifer, stated Eden was near death and paralyzed, but was still breathing. She stated that Caleb was stand offish at that point but he was captured and held at the animal shelter until Tuesday 5/29/2012. The ACO claim she did not have any knowledge of the owner, so she had to euthanize Eden. ACO Jennifer surrendered Caleb to my mother after verifying with my veterinarian that his shots were current. She later waived all fines and fees surrounding the event when she released Eden's body to me on 6/7/2012 We got permission from our employer in Dutch Harbor, Alaska to pick up Caleb from Macon, Georgia and bring him back with us on 6/12/2012. After speaking with Capt Mitchell of Jones County Sheriff, he felt his deputy responded appropriately. I asked him whether there were any reports of my dog biting anyone? Did the deputy have any training in responding to aggressive dog calls? Is the deputy qualified to determine an aggressive dog, or is their a hearing required? What is the departments
for notifying Animal Control, and why didn't he wait until they arrive before conducting his investigation? Capt. Mitchell was unable to answer my questions. The ACO stated that Eden was found shot at the front of the neighbors car, and Caleb was found at the rear. That gave me the impression that the dogs did not approach the officer but he in turn approached them. ACO Jennifer claimed there were no records kept by her on her response to the call, nor did she keep track of what time she was dispatched, or what time she was on scene. If I wanted those records, I would have to go through the sheriff's department which she claimed she didn't have. I spoke to the clerk at the sheriff's department, and she claimed the person responsible for the 911 recordings was out of town. All in all, I am getting a run around from the sheriff's department to my veterinarian. My own vet documented that my dog was a pit bull until I showed him the certificate of her breed being American bulldog. I had them to correct all her records. Eden is currently getting a legal necropsy at Tifton University here in Georgia. They were sympathetic! I just want to know what recourse that I have in recouping my lost, and to have the department change their policy so that no other dog loving owner has to suffer such a lost as I have. Can you help me

Thank you. Have you obtained a copy of the police report(s) of the incident?
Ask Your Own Legal Question

Yes, his Jones S.O. Incident Report reads as follow:
On 5-25-12 I responded toXXXXX in reference to some aggressive dogs. Upon arrival to the residence I made contact with two large pitbull dogs under the carport of the residence. The dogs came out and walked around my patrol and approached me on the rear driver side. I attempted to "shoo" the dogs away. The dog continued to approach me. I then discharged my O.C. spray at the dogs. They left the property and walked next door.
I next closed the door on my patrol vehicle. I walked about 10ft in front of my patrol vehicle to speak with the complainant Tirrell Lester. He stated that the dogs were aggressive with him when he attempted to come outside. He stated they also went to his neighbors
house at 146 and attempted to get at a dog there. He yelled at them to stop them from bothering the other dog. The dogs again turned their aggression towards him. He returned to his home.
The two dog returned back toXXXXXas I was attempting to return to my vehicle. The dogs approached me as I was walking towards my patrol vehicle. I discharged my O.C. spray at the dogs again. The black and white dog backed off. The all white dog continued to come towards me. I raised my duty weapon towards the god. It backed off some. I then turned an attempted to get in my Patrol car. As I turned my back the dog made an aggressive charge in my direction. I fire one shot striking the dog front shoulder area.
Sgt Walker was notified and responded to the scene. Animal Control was also notified and responded to the scene. Both animals were taken by Animal Control. End of his report
It appear to me that deputy Little baited Eden for the kill shot by turning his back knowing that would cause the dog to continue to approach him so he may claim he was being attacked while weapon drawn. My dogs have never bitten anyone, or destroyed anyone's property. Deputy Little took it upon himself to be judge, jury, and executioner of my Eden, merely because he misidentified them as pitbulls on the wrong property. A prejudice by the police here in the south that all pit bulls are aggressive animals, and should be registered as such. However, my American bulldogs do not fall on that list and were subjected to the ignorance of the law. Deputy Little's immunity in this incident appear to sit well with Jones County Sheriff's department, but I'm sorry for your lost is not good enough. There must be something I can do? My dogs were only guilty of escaping and venturing onto the wrong street and property by noon that day. My street, Spradley Drive runs parallel to Ruby Drive. My mother's house address is 134 and they were found atXXXXX They were trying to get home, and confused his property for my mom's that's all.

Thank you. How much did you pay for your Bulldog?
Ask Your Own Legal Question
replied 4 years ago.
In 2007 we paid $900 dollars for an all white American Bulldog out of Texas. The going price for the same dog now is atleast $1,600. However, Eden was well trained and was ready to breed with Caleb, and the potential puppies I could have had with her were also lost with her death. Caleb is now six years old, and to have him wait three to four years for another puppy come of age to breed would be a stretch for him.

Thank you. An option to consider would be to sue the department in magistrate's court for the value of your dog. An overview of the magistrate's court in GA is provided at:

The Twisted Lip proudly presents Teesside's 1st ever secret cinema club, EVERY Monday.
Andrew Simpson enjoyed one of the proudest moments of his life when he graduated with a BSc (Hons) Computing and Networks.
But there was no time to revel in his achievement – for the day after graduating, Andrew was back at school, starting work as an ICT Technician and Student Teacher at St Patrick's Catholic College in Thornaby.
Andrew, 22, from the Acklam area of Middlesbrough, came to Teesside University because of its strong reputation for computing and he credits a lot of his success to the University's Careers Service, who were unflinching in their support.
"Coming to Teesside University was a fantastic experience," said Andrew.
"The course was amazing and surpassed my expectations and the help and support I received from the Careers Service was invaluable.
"There was help and advice about CV's, cover letters, interview techniques and even how to use social networking to gain employment. Staff were always there for me and gave me the confidence to pursue a career in ICT."
During his course Andrew completed a one year work placement at St Patrick's Catholic College, which reaffirmed his desire to work in an ICT role within a school environment.
Shortly after completing his course, he was contacted by the school who offered him a job which started the day after he graduated, on 24 November.
Andrew added: "It was because I made such a good impression during my placement year that I was offered the job at St Patrick's, which is fantastic.
"It was interesting because before they got in touch I was working at a job which I did not really enjoy. Again, the Careers Service at Teesside was fantastic. Even after I left they were there for me, offering advice, guidance and motivation and they really pushed me in the right direction.
"I would encourage all students at Teesside to use the Careers Service – if it wasn't for the staff there, I probably wouldn't be where I am today."

Dwellers in the Crucible is a 1985 Star Trek: The Original Series novel written by Margaret Wander Bonanno. A bestseller, it was the author's breakout novel, retelling the central Star Trek story of the friendship between James T. Kirk and Spock through the experiences of two female civilians, Egyptian Cleante al Faisal and Vulcan T'Shael.[1][2] It is noted for its emphasis on interpersonal relationships over action, and for the minimal role played in the story by the franchise's established characters.[3]
Reception and legacy[edit]
Dwellers was positively received at publication. While Fantasy Review emphasised the regular cast's incidental appearance in the novel, they recommended it highly despite its "minor flaws": "Dwellers in the Crucible is an excellent study of values ... [t]here are things here to think about which belie the Star Trek image."[3]
Later, recalling Dwellers in 2009, author Keith R. A. DeCandido would describe the impact the "cool" story had on him: "I didn't know that a Star Trek book could do that."[4]
In 1992, Bonanno was contracted by Pocket Books to write a follow-up novel to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Her manuscript, entitled Music of the Spheres, reintroduced Dwellers characters Cleante and T'Shael. As Dwellers had done, Music focused on Bonanno's characters rather than on the familiar characters from the television show. This had not been a difficulty in 1985, but by 1992 Paramount Pictures had introduced new standards for Star Trek tie-in novels, which outlawed extensive use of original characters.
The story was heavily rewritten, and that rewrite subsequently rewritten by Gene DeWeese. The derivative novel was eventually published as Probe, still naming Bonanno as the author. Despite her wishes, Pocket Books refused to strip her name from the book. Bonanno stated at the time that only one page of the published novel resembled what she had written.[5][6]
On the planet Vulcan, several representatives of each Federation world are kept as "Warrantors of the Peace". As close relatives of the leaders of their worlds, they serve as hostages against the actions of their planetary governments, and are immediately killed if their world attacks another Federation planet.
Six of these Warrantors - an Andorian, a human, a Vulcan and three Deltans - are kidnapped and held by the Romulan Empire. The Andorian is killed during the kidnap, and the three Deltans are tortured to death by their Klingon captors, acting for the Romulans. The plot focuses on the cultural differences and eventual friendship between the two surviving captives, T'Shael and Cleante.

The Immortally Quotable Joe Paterno
If the Big Ten Football Media Day were Christmas, then talking to Penn State Head Coach Joe Paterno is like visiting Santa Claus at the local mall. Not only does JoePa have the most illustrious resume - NCAA record holder in wins (383), bowl appearances (35) and bowl wins (23) - he's also the most interesting and candid interview subject.
The 82-year-old College Football Hall of Famer and five-time Coach of the Year has been at Penn State since 1966. During his tenure at PSU, there have been 838 coaching changes in NCAA Division I. A big part of JoePa's enduring appeal comes from his always quotable and entertaining interviews and press conferences. And Big Ten media day 2009 was no exception. Here are some of the highlights:
On using social media and Twitter...
"Hey, you guys have got to talk about something. The fans have got to put something on those -- what do you guys call those things, Twittle-do, Twittle-dee? I haven't got the slightest idea what you're looking at, either."
On the overall assessment of this year's team...
"Who knows? That phone rings on Sunday morning and I shake."
Regarding scheduling...
"I try to stay out of the scheduling because we schedule so far ahead, and obviously I can't be looking who we're going to be playing in the year 2020. I'm dumb, but I ain't that dumb. (Laughter). And I'm optimistic but I ain't that optimistic. (Laughter). I think it would be."
I asked him about Preseason All-Conference QB Darryl Clark, what his strengths are, and also what skill sets of Clark's need improvement.
"Daryll had a fine year last year, but he's got to grow on that. I think people will know a little bit more about him. He hadn't played a lot of football before last year, and that probably was my fault. Jay Paterno, who coached the quarterbacks two years ago, wanted to play Clark more, and I thought it would discourage the kid that we were using, and I thought the kid we were using had the potential to be a good quarterback, and I blew that one.
"But Daryll, when we played him, he made some plays and he's started to get better and better. He's really got a fine arm, a good release, he's got a good feel for the pass game, and he's one of those kids, he's big enough, he's tough enough, he can run with the football.
"He loves to play, and he carries people with him. He's a dynamite guy in the huddle. In your winter program he's a guy out there pushing everybody, one of the guys that we have."
The highlight of his opening statement to the media...
"...So why don't I just get into some questions you guys may have. I don't want to make this too long if I can help it."
Does this year's team have more or less question marks than usual?
"Gee. That's a tough question to answer, I wouldn't think it's any more than we've had. We need a couple linemen and we probably need another corner, a guy that's had some experience who can play."
On what makes him come back year after year...
"Oh, I'd miss you guys. (Laughter). What would I do on a nice beautiful day in July? (Laughter). I just enjoy it. I've enjoyed coaching, I've enjoyed the competition, I enjoy the challenges that go on with coaching at the level we're at. I enjoy being around young people. I don't know what else I'd rather do. There's going to come a time when I'm going to have to look in that mirror and say, hey, you're not doing a job and you have more of an obligation to the University than just going out there and going through the motions. I don't think I've reached that yet. But that day will come, and then I'll decide to get out of it."
On the great coaching rivalry against Bobbie Bowden for the all-time wins in college football. And the NCAA is considering vacating some of Bobby's wins. Thoughts on vacating wins that have already been earned on the field?
"I don't particularly like the word rivalry you use with Bobby Bowden. Bobby is a good friend of mine. I think it's ridiculous that the NCAA would take wins away from him personally. But I think that Bobby played with what he had and he won games with what he had, and I don't think there's any reason for anybody to say, hey, you're not entitled to have that win on your record.
"It's no problem for me, I'm not interested in who wins the most games, I'm just interested in what I've got to get done from my end of it. Bobby is, as I said, a good friend, and I think has been a great credit to the game and has done a marvelous job. If it turns out he's got more wins when he retires than I have when I retire, so be it. Why the big fuss about it?
"It bothers me a little bit that the NCAA would use him almost as a scapegoat for some things that went on at Florida State, and I really don't know all the things that went on that caused their problems. But I hope they let him keep his wins."

text: Posted December 19, 2004 Advertisement Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder"I couldn't do anything without rituals. They invaded every aspect of my life. Counting really bogged me down. I would wash my hair three times as opposed to once because three was a good luck number and one wasn't. It took me longer to read because I'd count the lines in a paragraph. When I set my alarm at night, I had to set it to a number that wouldn't add up to a "bad" number."Getting dressed in the morning was tough because I had a routine, and if I didn't follow the routine, I'd get anxious and would have to get dressed again. I always worried that if I didn't do something, my parents were going to die. I'd have these terrible thoughts of harming my parents. That was completely irrational, but the thoughts triggered more anxiety and more senseless behavior. Because of the time I spent on rituals, I was unable to do a lot of things that were important to me."I knew the rituals didn't make sense, and I was deeply ashamed of them, but I couldn't seem to overcome them until I had therapy."Obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, involves anxious thoughts or rituals you feel you can't control. If you have OCD, you may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals.You may be obsessed with germs or dirt, so you wash your hands over and over. You may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly. You may have frequent thoughts of violence, and fear that you will harm people close to you. You may spend long periods touching things or counting; you may be pre-occupied by order or symmetry; you may have persistent thoughts of performing sexual acts that are repugnant to you; or you may be troubled by thoughts that are against your religious beliefs.The disturbing thoughts or images are called obsessions, and the rituals that are performed to try to prevent or get rid of them are called compulsions. There is no pleasure in carrying out the rituals you are drawn to, only temporary relief from the anxiety that grows when you don't perform them.A lot of healthy people can identify with some of the symptoms of OCD, such as checking the stove several times before leaving the house. But for people with OCD, such activities consume at least an hour a day, are very distressing, and interfere with daily life.Most adults with this condition recognize that what they're doing is senseless, but they can't stop it. Some people, though, particularly children with OCD, may not realize that their behavior is out of the ordinary.OCD afflicts about 3.3 million adult Americans.1 It strikes men and women in approximately equal numbers and usually first appears in childhood, adolescence, or early adulthood.2 One-third of adults with OCD report having experienced their first symptoms as children. The course of the disease is variable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Failure of the G-20 Summit
Robert Reich: It's always nice to talk about international cooperation, and to create global photo ops. But the truth is much more needs to be done to ease tensions that are moving the global economy closer to the brink of outright protectionism
