I was just curious what other people think. I noticed a review for an Android app on the Amazon website. They rated the app as having 1 star because the particular tablet they had wouldn't sync calendar data. They even acknowledged that it was the tablet in their description of the rating. Is flagging the review as inappropriate something you should do in these circumstances? It's not relevant to the product and incorrectly brings down the total rating for the item. I haven't done this previously but always think I should. Thoughts?

Does the flag have options after you click it? I know some website have a drop down that you can select from that as a list of reasons why one would consider it inappropriate.

So long as the app doesn't work correctly on their device I don't see the problem. I see reviews on Newegg and Amazon all the time that are poor due to a specific issue with a specific setup. It's up to the balance of the populace to show whether or not the app / device / whatever merits an overall low rating. A big problem with most online ratings is that the average person won't take the time to submit a rating if it all works like it's supposed to. It's the extremely upset or extremely happy people who will spend the time to share their opinion.
Jan 12, 2012 at 11:17 UTC
Kind of like the poor ratings win 7 got because the old printer, software,scanner would not work on the new OS.
I read through ratings all the time and take them all with a grain of salt
Jan 12, 2012 at 11:24 UTC
My problem with the review are people either go one way or the other.
Most seem to rate minimum or maximum.
When people rate low for silly reasons, it irritates me.
Like a few apps which come as default on HTC have 1 star reviews because they can't be removed, this isn't the app, its the vendor.
Jan 12, 2012 at 11:32 UTC
When I see a review where it's obvious that the person had an issue that was not related to the product being reviewed, I often downrate it, or post a response.
This is why looking at overall averages is generally not that helpful. It's a lot more useful to read the actual reviews and evaluate the reviewers themselves.
My pet peeve is when someone posts a negative review of a product because they had problems with the vendor they bought it from.
"This bicycle helmet sucks because the fly-by-night ebay seller I bought it from overcharged me on shipping!"
Jan 12, 2012 at 11:32 UTC
I take the ratings with a grain of salt too.
It reminds me of this:
Jan 12, 2012 at 11:44 UTC
I don't think flagging the reveiw is the right thing to do, only because even though it was under very specific conditions, it still provides a reveiw of the functionality of the product. However, like Bill said, downrating it or posting a response to point out that it wouldn't affect 99% of people is perfectly fine.
Luckily, most people smart enough to read reveiws before buying something are also smart enough to ignore the ones that are irrelevant or biased.
Jan 12, 2012 at 12:24 UTC
Well, the review was for Business Calendar. This app works with the calendar data already on your device synced down from the native calendar functions on Android. Obviously this app isn't going to work if there isn't calendar data on your device. It seemed kind of pointless to have it reflecting actual functionality of the app when it wasn't the apps fault.
Jan 12, 2012 at 1:15 UTC
If it's user stupidity then I would think long and hard about flagging it - I didn't understand the specifics of the issue. Yes, if you don't have calendar data and it doesn't work, then how can you even rate the app? What a moron... I've seen many an issue where the app was supposed to work, but didn't on such and such vendor's product because they had another app installed that interfered with it. I agree that you need to read the review and see what the specifics are of each one. I tend to go through the high and low reviews, and add extra weight to the most recent ones (due to possible production batch issues). I would flag the reviewer as inappropriate as opposed to the review :-)
Jan 12, 2012 at 1:52 UTC
Does it really matter? How often have you purchased an item based on the average rating of an item without actually reading the comments? I never have. I always do a thorough research prior to buying a big ticket item. I read all the comments and discard any that seem frivolous or over/under rated. Anyone who does not do research before purchasing a big ticket item is a fool.

U.S. firms can operate in Israel as a foreign company, a foreign partnership or by establishing a branch office. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of Israeli companies or securities. Israel allows repatriation of foreign investment capital and profits. Prior to establishing an office in Israel, U.S. firms should evaluate tax ramifications under the U.S.-Israel Agreement on the Prevention of Double Taxation. Possible higher corporate and income taxes in Israel should be weighed against other expenditures and marketing advantages.
U.S. businesses interested in establishing an office in Israel are required to register with the Registrar of Companies at the Ministry of Justice. The business must file a copy of documents certifying that it is incorporated in the United States, state its objectives and rules, and list its directors and the name of its Israeli representative. If these documents are in English, they must be accompanied by a Hebrew translation. There is no requirement for the managers or directors of the company to be Israeli citizens or residents. However, U.S. representatives assigned to manage the Israel office must first obtain work permits from the Employment Service Division of the Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor. Authorization from the Ministry and, if applicable, the Investment Center, is necessary before the Ministry of Interior can issue a visa. U.S. businesses establishing an office in Israel are advised to consult with a local accounting or law firm.

Tales of Vesperia
Review by poltergust3000
"One of the best Tales games, if not RPG's made"
When I first saw a video of Tales of vesperia, I was a bit curious as to how this game would eventually turn out. It appeared to look like Tales of Symphonia, which was an outstanding RPG for the gamecube. Finally, when they released vesperia in stores, I went out and purchased my own copy and began playing my new game. This game not only is my favorite RPG game next to the likes of Mario RPG and Final Fantasy 7, but I'd say it is better than most of the games I have bought for the 360 in awhile.
Here's what I'd rank everything in the game.
The graphics are absolutely outstanding. For a game which has anime style graphics, they have amazing appeal. The animations are very well done and the characters all feel different. The backgrounds and environments look very polished and keep you intrigued throughout the game. Also, the use of artes in battle look awesome, which makes you want to use them frequently during your battles.
Whether you enjoy well done music or not, this game has a very nice soundtrack. The songs keep you entertained throughout the entire game, with varying sad, happy and angry songs. They keep the mood and definitely make vesperia more enjoyable. The sound effects are interesting and set this game apart from many other 360 games.
For what it is, an RPG, it has astounding gameplay. The way you battle is rather interesting as it's not a turn based but instead a action battle sort of thing. The way your character interacts outside of battle is very well done as most RPG games are now. Other than that all I can say is the gameplay is just amazing!
The story is just great. It keeps you interested throughout its entire span, which is good because you don't want an RPG to be boring or have a dreadful story. I found the plot was very original but I won't give it away in case you haven't played it yet. The way the game has the characters all have different personalities and qualities that appear again and again in the game is always great. Apart from all that, the story is flawless and keeps you engaged until the very end of the game.
You can unlock achievements, customize your control settings, do side quests and other stuff after you complete your game as well as play on a different difficulty. If you found normal easy or whatever you can change it whenever you want. There really isn't much else to say but this game should have you going for more than 50 hours unless you decide to just rush through it. Even so, it might take you awhile to get through it.
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone wanting a great RPG experience on the 360 console. I'd say this is one of the few on there right now that is worth getting along with lost odyssey and some others. If you aren't one for RPG games, perhaps renting it first will suit you better. Overall this game is a solid 10/10 as an RPG and as a great game with little to no flaws, except for perhaps the voice acting :)
Overall: 10/10
Reviewer's Rating: 5.0 - Flawless

Adopt an orangutan and save a life!
By adopting one of our beautiful orangutans you help us provide the care and rehabilitation needed for orphaned orangutans to be returned to the wild. You will receive a personalized e-certificate, photo and story of your orangutan. If you adopt for either 6 or 12 months you will receive update stories, photos or video of your loved one!
Kopral & Shelton
Kopral & Shelton are two very special orangutans who require extra love and care. Due to their disabilities caused by horrible tragedies, neither can be released back into the wild. There two have miraculously found strength and friendship in each other. We need your help to care for these two special friends of ours for the rest of their lives.
Four month old Sura did not only suffer the tragic loss of his mother at a very young age, he also suffered the loss of three fingers on his left hand during his capture.
Ben was born in Nyaru Menteng, but sadly he was rejected by his mother. With no alternative, we have raised Ben lovingly by hand.
Ello had been kept illegally by a villager before we brought him to Nyaru Menteng. He is now "king" of the nursery playground.
Yordanka was born in Samboja Lestari and despite all attempts, she was rejected by her mother. Under the care of our team she is growing into a beautiful young orangutan.
Named after the paramedic who saved him, this tiny orangutan came to Nyaru Menteng very dehydrated. He is now 4 years old and thriving under the care of his babysitters.
Starving and having to resort to foraging in a villager's oil palm farm, Jumbo lost his mother and he was caught to be kept as a pet before being handed over to Nyaru Menteng.
Cinta lost her mother when she was only three months old. Now she is being taken care of and showered with heaps of love by the babysitters at Baby Nursery in Nyaru Menteng.

A Baker woman is awaiting sentencing in federal court after admitting this week to directing a more than $2.2 million Medicare fraud scheme that involved repackaging and redistributing unused prescription drugs.
Some of the drugs were expired, federal authorities said.
Mona Patrice Carter, 47, who was indicted in January, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of health care fraud and now faces up to 10 years in prison and hefty fines.
U.S. District Judge James Brady has not scheduled a sentencing date.
The federal government is seeking to have Carter forfeit more than $2.2 million.
"She admits she broke the law, conduct very out of character for her," Carter's attorney, Jim Boren, said Friday. "She hopes she is judged based on all of her life, not just this one thing. She accepts responsibility for her actions and apologizes to everyone her actions have impacted."
U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Peter Carr said the investigation is ongoing.
A plea agreement says Carter owned and operated a "closed-door" pharmacy in Baton Rouge called Community Pharmacy 1, meaning the majority of its business focused on providing prescription drugs through other health care providers — such as nursing homes and mental health facilities — rather than directly to individual consumers.
The fraud scheme occurred from 2007 to 2013, according to the agreement signed Thursday by Carter, Boren, Interim U.S. Attorney Walt Green and U.S. Department of Justice trial attorney William Kanellis.
Carter paid cash — in increments of $100 to $300 — to employees of Community Pharmacy 1 clients who collected and returned unused medications to her, the agreement states.
"These unused medications — some of which were expired — were often returned to CP1 in large garbage bags," the agreement notes. "Once CP1 received these unused medications, CP1 employees, acting under Carter's direction and supervision, placed them in new blister packs and affixed new labels to them.
"CP1 then distributed these repackaged medications to CP1 providers, and billed Medicare as if these re-used drugs were distributed for the first time, effectively billing Medicare twice for the same drugs," the agreement adds.
Carter, through her company, billed Medicare for distributing more prescription drugs than the company received from its wholesale suppliers, the agreement states.
As a result of her guilty plea, Carter is now excluded from doing business with Medicare, Medicaid and all federal health care programs.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, the FBI and the Louisiana Attorney General's Office Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

In the West, there's only one law that everyone understands; that guarantees a quick and decisive verdict; and that treats all people as equals . . . and that's the Gunman's Law!
Not since the inception of TSR's classic Boot Hill has there been a game that captures the flavor and deadliness of the old West likeGunman's Law. Carefully blending the historic with the cinematic, Gunman's Law recreates the gunfights of the mid-to-late 1800s with an unprecedented mix of versatility and verisimilitude.
Gunman's Law allows both the solo player and multiple players (either "versus" or cooperatively) to recreate everything from the classic one-on-one showdown in a town's main street to deadly ambushes. Hire your gun out to farmers being pushed off their land by a local cattle baron, or go to the aid of the town's lawman who has to ride out to where a group of stagecoach robbers are reputedly hiding.
Part board game, part RPG and great for use with miniatures, Gunman's Law breaks new ground by using a multi-purpose Fast Action Card deck to determine everything from a shootist's speed and accuracy, reaction to danger, damage done and effect of that damage.
Coupled with a Special Action card deck that adds both player strategy and individual tactics as well as unparalleled variety to gunfights — from the appearance of an unexpected ally to a fatal misfire — the concepts behind Gunman's Law recreate with incredible accuracy both the pace and the heart-pounding suspense of a raging gun battle.
And while innovative techniques and playing methods make Gunman's Law easy to play, they don't take away any of the important and historic details necessary to make the game authentic. Weapon choice, distance from the target, cover, position, mounted or on foot, elevation — all these elements factor into the outcome of gunfights in Gunman's Law.
Likewise, all aspects that go into the creation of both the Player Character and Non-Player Characters are present. Nine "Traits" make up each PC and NPC: from the standard speed and accuracy to nuanced characteristics like bravery and awareness.
Gunman's Law comes with everything you need to enjoy it as either a solitary or multi-player game. Pre-generated NPCs ranging from basic cowboys to rated famous historic gunman are included along with over a half-dozen scenarios that help familiarize the players with the extensive set of rules. Counters, player aids, floor plans, multiple card decks (almost 200 cards in all) and more make Gunman's Law the new standard for recreating Wild West gunfights.
Stand side-by-side with Hickcok, Earp and Masterson in an attempt to bring order to a lawless land. Ride with Billy the Kid, Bass Outlaw or Clay Allison and walk away from no man. Or better yet, create your own legend, walk your own path and practice your own version of . . . Gunman's Law!

This vintage Eternity Band is just beautiful. The ring features a lovely 1/4" wide band openwork floral leaf design set with a single sparkling rhinestone in each leaf and in between. The ring is signed but I cannot make out the signature because of the openwork. The signature looks to be long. This might be an Eisenberg piece but I cannot say for sure. The leaves are all outlined with tiny miligrain work. This is a quality piece that really needs to be in a top vintage costume jewelry collection. It is size 8. The condition is excellent vintage and the stones are still wonderful.

Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell's take on The Shadow has been a very interesting one so far, managing to balance the easy charm of Lamont Cranston with the deadly dark nature of his mission as the punisher of evil men. In The Shadow #4, things get heavy, as we learn the dark history of Cranston's life through the perspective of the oddly casual criminal mastermind Kondo, and Cranston's crew discovers the horrors unleashed by Kondo and his allies, the burly stinkbag Buffalo Wong and the honor-obsessed hypocrite General Akamutsu.
Kondo relates to Akamutsu the story of Kent Allard, a mysterious American on the Shanghai waterfront some fifteen years prior – "a sneaking, backstabbing, two-faced shit of unusual wit and cunning." WIth surgical precision, he learned everything there was to know about the underworld there, and killed some jerks. Profits soared for Kondo in the two years since, and then suddenly Allard vanished, returning as this impossible force of vengeance, killing "every criminal of rank" in one night. Even the unflappable Kondo is shaken a bit at retelling the tale. "Sorry, General. My finely-honed cynicism deserts me at times like these," he admits, before letting us know he's made the connection between Allard, The Shadow and Lamont Cranston.
Lest we forget due to his smooth and somewhat affable manner, Kondo is a ruthless bastard. Wong is an ex-slave runner and current bastard, and Akamutsu is a stuffy prick deriding the honorless Chinese barbarians he's working with and claiming the "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere" will be benevolence incarnate, but he's also a pedophile, and thus a bastard. The interplay between their personalities is engaging, but make no mistake, we want these bastards dead.
There's no better bastard-killer than The Shadow, and Cranston is with his crew on Kondo's trail. However, their boat comes across a burnt village, and any sense of whismy we get from Cranston's manipulation of his slow-witted American handler Finnegan is gone. Instead, he insists that Finnegan and the lovely Margo Lane depart the boat and see with their own eyes the massacre that has been wrought. They hate him for it, but he insists that exposing them to this gruesome horror will shatter any illusions they have and make them realize the rising danger of what's ahead of them – the emergence of the Axis powers. "A great evil. A thing that has to be confronted. It will not be outwitted or outmanuevered, or split into factions that reliably consume each other. It cannot be tricked, like the devil in some children's fable. It must be pulverized. Burnt out."
That heavy weight settles onto us just as Cranston's crew catches up with Kondo's boat. The general panics, Kondo remains cool, and baits the overzealous Finnegan into making another dumb mistake – but this time, it's going to cost them dearly.
Ennis is a great storyteller, especially when telling stories within stories. When he's exercising restraint, he's one of the best out there (and hell, even when he's going hogwild, he can be fun), and that's the take he's bringing to The Shadow – historical fiction steeped in historical fact, peppering it with pulp fun but using it to underscore the real-life nightmares of the world. Campbell's art is solid as well – a little murky for my tastes, but that certainly serves the tales being told in issue #4.
The Shadow is a series that may be better read in trade form, but it's only four issues in – you shouldn't have a hard time hunting down the previous three, and I would recommend that you do.

Causes of red cheeks on children?
It's probably nothing serious, as this is a pretty common symptom, especially in children. The reasons for a red rash on the cheeks of a child could be many different things. To name a few...
"Slapped Cheek Syndrome" or Fifth's Disease which is characterized by a bright red rash on the cheeks that comes quickly and gives the child the appearance of having been slapped. It's spread through respiratory secretions and generally isn't serious. The rash may spread other places like the legs. Kids often have a high temperature. They may also have a sore throat and other flu/cold like symptoms.
Rubella- The MMR vaccine will prevent this in most children
Scarlet Fever- The most obvious feature of this will be the red rash on the face and probalby the neck. The child will also most likely have a high fever and swollen glands in the neck. It is caused by some strains of the Strep. virus.
Rubeola (measles)- MMR vaccine also wards against this... With measles, a highly infectious respiratory disease, there will likely be other symptoms and the rash won't be confined to the cheeks, instead body wide. The child will also probably have fever, runny nose, and a cough.
Food allergy- Rashes are pretty common with food allergies and may appear anywhere, including the cheeks.
Lupus- Most of us have heard of the "butterfly rash" associated with lupus, also called a malar rash. It spreads over the cheek and nose like a butterfly. Not everyone with lupus has this rash and not everyone with this rash has lupus.
Sunburn- baby skin can burn much quicker than adults, so though this may seem obvious, it isn't always! Especially if your child is paler than you and you're not quite usedto dealing with such fair skin or how quickly it can burn in the sun.
Rosacea- I'm not sure if kids get this one, but it's also a red rash on the cheek.
There are all sorts of dermatological problems that cause a red rash on the cheek. Like I said, there's probably no reason to worry. Check your child's temperature just to be safe and if it's bothering him/her or worrying you too much, take a trip to the pediatrician just to be on the safe side!
What other reasons do you know for a child to have a red rash on his/her cheeks?
Has it happened to your kids? What was it?

Omg! Tooting My Own Horn Lol!
Decorating By MikeRowesHunny Updated 18 Jun 2008 , 2:38am by superstar
I made this cake for a customer last Friday(and it was then driven all the way from Holland to the UK that night!):
I have just opened my mail to see this:
"The cake was an amazing success. Thank you very much. Not only was it spectacular to look at but it was delicious !!
The birthday lunch was at the restaurant of a TV chef in the UK (Andrew Nutter). He asked where the cake was from as he was impressed too."
Wow! I can't believe that a famous chef was impressed by something I made! I haven't stopped grinning all night!!! To be honest, I have recently started to doubt what I do, as business has been down by about 40% for me compared to last year . Now I guess I can be rest assured that it has less to do with me, and more to do with something else?! Anyway, just wanted to share my little taste of success with those who can appreciate it!
You should be tooting your own horn. That cake is beautiful. I love all the detail.
Your cake is perfect!! Congratulations!!! Maybe Chef Nutter will call you, YEAH, BABY! You could be FAMOUS!!
I wouldn't attribute your business being down to you, your cakes look PERFECT! Probably the economy right now
And what a well-deserved toot it is!
That cake is fabulous, of course the man was impressed. We all are, I'm sure.
Good job!
You go right ahead and not only toot your horn but do the happy dance too. Congratulations. Your cake is awesome.
I agree with the other posters. If it were me, I'd be telling anyone that would listen. Heck, I'd tie people to their chairs and tell them if they didn't want to listen. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
Wow Multiplied Congratulations. Brilliant!
Love the cake--the tooled leather look purse with the little dragees scattered about is awesome
Now a question how do you drive from the UK to Holland? Through the chunnel?? Isn't that what it's called? The tunnel under the channel from England to France.
Wonderful job. That cake is absolutely gorgeous!
Wonderful job. That cake is absolutely gorgeous!
Great cake, you should be proud.

A decent ripasso. Earthy, plummy, nutty aromas, a slight fake-leather whiff. Full bodied, spicy, sweet, densely fruited, oaky with dry tannins. Good warm finish. A good wine at a good price. A small section of Ruben's dramatic "The Martyrdom of St Livinus" on the label. Cool.

Gay Marriage is legal in England after Queen Elizabeth II gave her royal stamp of approval. While the Queen of England holds a ceremonial position in the British legislature, her approval caps a landmark achievement in the gay rights movement. The Queen's approval came on Wednesday, the day after Parliament voted to pass the law, which allows same-sex couples to marry in a religious or civil ceremony. Couples that previously had civil union status may now switch that to full marriage (the whole civil union thing seems sort of silly in retrospect, doesn't it?).
England becomes the tenth European country to legalize same-sex marriage, with Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden having already made that advance in civil rights. Gay marriage is also legal in Argentina, Brazil and Canada, with New Zealand and Uruguay having passed laws that come into effect in August.
That the Queen of England, a symbol of tradition if ever there was one, would give her approval to same-sex marriage is as good a sign as any of the incredible cultural shift in favor of gay marriage. It is as though every day, thousands of people woke up and realized that there is no reason to have two a different set of laws for gay people than we do for straight people.
Expect Queen Elizabeth's crowning of same-sex marriage to be just one more in the stream of headlines from Europe, the Americas, and one day Asia and Africa on the legalization of same-sex marriage. The sooner the better. Real lives are at stake.

Anchored in political anthropology, my research focuses on sectarian politics and national belonging, religion, state, conflict and energy in the Middle East and South-Eastern Mediterranean. For my PhD, I conducted extensive ethnographic fieldwork research in Syria (2008–2011) looking at contested identities and politics between the Druze sect and the Syrian state. In response to the ongoing war in Syria, my research has incorporated political economy and historical approaches in ongoing projects on the politics of energy and resource conflict in Syria and Lebanon (Durham Energy Institute 2013-2014; AHRC/ESRC Conflict grant 2016-2017), as well as new fieldwork with Syrian refugees in Greece and stateless Syrians in the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights (BRIEF Award 2015-ongoing).

Through the evocative power of video this research project follows the wires that crosscut the skyline and buildings of Beirut's neighbourhoods. In visually doing so, the project will ground the electricity cables along the lives of the persons and families it connects. By telling the story of the electricity infrastructure and the everyday responses to its failures the project aims to make sense of the lived and material legacy of the conflict. Emphasising the importance of basic infrastructures, the project uses the synthetic power of video, together with ethnographic and sociological accounts, to show through the voices and buildings of Beirut how conflicts shape cities and change how people live and make decisions.
How do struggles over energy resources affect religious minorities and their allegiance to contemporary States in the Middle East? This question lies at the heart of 'Sect and statelessness' project, which will shed new light on the intersection of energy conflict, religious minorities' formation, and State belonging by conducting research amongst Druze minorities in the Levant, with a special focus on the Druze community of the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

Early Signs & Symptoms Of A Heart Attack In Men And Women
Cardiovascular diseases claim over 17.3 million lives per year worldwide, and the number is projected to rise to 23.6 million by 2030. This makes heart diseases the number one cause of death in the world. In the US alone, 2,150 Americans die each day from heart diseases. That's one every 40 seconds!
To put things into perspective: heart diseases claim more lives than all forms of cancer…combined. That's scary to say the least. Focusing on heart attacks, it is worth noting that every year 635,000 people in the US have a first time heart attack, while about 300,000 have recurrent heart attacks. This statistic is concerning as well.
The reason that so many people suffer from heart attacks is probably their life style coming back to haunt them. Their extremely stressful routine paired with an improper diet and lack of exercise can be huge catalysts for heart attacks. It seems as if the greater the stress, the greater the chance of heart failure. How can you then stop or prevent such illness? Firstly, leading a healthy lifestyle is the best piece of advice we can offer you. A healthy lifestyle consists of a lifestyle with lower stress levels, balanced diet, and proper physical exercise. Secondly, knowing the symptoms of a heart attack about a month in advance might be your best weapon against the illness.
"What is a heart attack?" This video explains how a heart attack happens.
Signs and Symptoms
Chest Pain
Chest pain is the most common sign of a heart attack. You may feel pressure and discomfort in the center of your chest or below your breastbone. This pain normally lasts more than a minute and can go away and return. It may even travel into the shoulder, neck, arm, jaw and back.
Shortness of Breath
Lack of exercise and gradual weight gain can cause this problem. Women are most likely to suffer from shortness of breath, also known as dyspnea than men. If you are gasping for air for no obvious reason, you could be having a heart attack. The shortness of breath may worsen when lying down and improve when standing up.
Some people may feel tired even when they have been sitting on the couch all day. Just walking to the bathroom, going to the mall or making dinner gets you extremely tired. You will also have difficulties sleeping even when you have been feeling tired all day.
Cold or Flu
Many people who have had a heart attack are reported to suffer from cold-like symptoms before the attack. So if you are suffering from cold and have unusual chest pain, you can expect yourself to experience a heart attack anytime soon.
Nausea is seen as a sign of a heart attack in women. This feeling is reported to be more common in females than in males. Indigestion, burping, and belching are normal. Vomiting is also noticed in some people.
Sweating is a common sign to be reported by the people suffering from a heart attack. You may sweat more than normal without any physical activities. Breaking out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason is definitely not a good sign.
Heartburn and Indigestion
Is it a heartburn or a heart attack? A heart attack delivers pain to the upper middle abdominal area, similar to the pain delivered by heartburn. So many people may confuse heart attack for heartburn. Not just this, some people might also notice feelings of indigestion, prior to a heart attack.
No Symptoms
Some people may have a heart attack without exhibiting any symptoms from above. Almost a quarter of heart attacks are recorded to be silent. This is common among people suffering from diabetes mellitus.
Causes of a heart attack
As we age, the chances of suffering from a heart disease increase. The odds of having a heart attack in men is reported to increase after 45. For women, it is 55.
Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow. So when the supply of blood to the heart becomes less, the chances of having a heart attack increases. Smoking is the cause of about 36 percent of coronary artery disease. Tobacco disease and air pollution are also accountable for heart attacks.
High Blood Pressure
High blood pressure can cause long term damage to the arteries. Atherosclerosis is a common disease caused by the deposition of fatty materials in the inner walls of the arteries. High blood pressure with smoking will double your chances of suffering from a heart disease.
High Blood Cholesterol
If you eat a meal high in saturated fat, your chances of suffering from a heart disease increase. High blood cholesterol increases the risk of developing blood clots in the arteries.
Our pancreas secretes a hormone called "insulin." Insulin helps our body store and use glucose. But when we suffer from diabetes, we stop producing sufficient insulin. This causes our blood sugar level to rise, which in turn damages our coronary arteries. People with diabetes are 2-5 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease.
Obesity is not directly associated with developing a heart disease. But when a person is overweight, their risk of suffering from diabetes increases. Not only this, they have an increased chance of developing high blood pressure and a higher cholesterol level.
Lack of exercise
Lack of exercise is also not directly related to heart attack. However, when a person is not physically active, they have greater risks of suffering from high blood pressure. They can also be overweight when they don't separate some time to exercise.
Drinking alcohol excessively will contribute to increasing blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels. This in turn increases the risks of developing coronary heart disease.
Family History of Heart Attack
If your parents or sibling suffered from heart disease, then you are twice as likely to show similar problems compared to the general population.
Ethnicity and Sex
People of African and African-Caribbean accent are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and diabetes. This makes them more vulnerable to a heart attack. Also, people from South Asian decent (from Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh origin) are five times likely to suffer from diabetes. Again, this too increases their chances of developing a heart disease.
Men have an increased risk of suffering from a heart attack than women. Men are 2-3 times likely to suffer from a heart attack than women.
Heart attack symptoms in men
An astounding number of men are in the risk of developing a heart disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), about 20 percent of U.S. men smoke. This causes their blood vessels to narrow. In 2015, about 205 million of the men were reported to be obese.
Chest pain is the most common sign of heart attack in men. There is intense pain and discomfort in the chest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported that about 50 percent of men died of heart disease because of the lack of symptoms. So it is recommended to have regular checkups even when you're in perfect health.
Heart attack symptoms in women
While chest pain is the warning sign of a heart attack, women may not experience chest pain at all. "Although men and women can experience chest pressure that feels like an elephant sitting across the chest, women can experience a heart attack without chest pressure," said Nieca Goldberg, M.D., medical director for the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women's Health at NYU's Langone Medical Center and an American Heart Association volunteer.
Instead of chest pain, women may experience shortness of breath, pain in the upper abdomen or lower chest, lightheadedness or dizziness, fainting, upper back pain or extreme fatigue.
What should you do if you have a heart attack?
During a heart attack, symptoms last 30 minutes or longer and the pain will not be relieved by any medications. So you should call for help immediately when you start noticing symptoms. Medics will try to open the blocked artery to lessen the damage. The ideal time to treat a heart attack is within the first two hours of experiencing the symptoms. Waiting for any longer will only worsen your condition.
Heart Attack Treatment
1) Aspirin
The medic will give you an aspirin immediately after a heart attack. Aspirin helps reduce blood clotting and helps to maintain blood flow through a narrowed artery.
2) Thrombolytic
This drug helps to dissolve a clot blocking the blood flow to the heart. It is also known as "clot busters."
3) Antiplatelet agents
These drugs help prevent new clots from happening and also make sure that the existing clots don't get larger.
4) Blood-thinning medications
Doctors will give you other blood thinning medications to make your blood less sticky and less likely to form clots.
5) Pain relievers
Medics will give you a pain reliever to ease your pain
6) Beta blockers
These drugs slow your heartbeat, decrease blood pressure and help your heart muscle to relax. They also limit the heart muscle damage and prevent possible future heart attacks.
7) ACE inhibitors
These medications reduce stress on heart muscle by lowering blood pressure.
8) Nitroglycerine
This drug improves blood flow by widening the blood vessels in the heart.
Surgery and other procedures
Angioplasty and stents
After the doctor gives medications to relax you, he will numb the area where the catheter will go. He will then insert a plastic tube called sheath in an artery- maybe in your groin or in your arm. Next, he will pass the catheter through the sheath. This catheter has a balloon at the end. Doctors use X-ray to guide the catheter to the artery, and when it reaches there, they inflate the balloon to open the narrowed artery.
Coronary artery bypass surgery
Your doctor will suggest bypass surgery after three to seven days from your heart attack. A surgeon will remove a blood vessel from your chest or leg. He will then attach one end of the vessel to your aorta, and the other end to an artery below the blockage. This creates a new route for your blood to travel. The process takes about three to six hours on average.
How to prevent a heart attack
Heart attacks mostly occur as a result of coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a condition where waxy substances accumulate in the arteries. So you prevent a heart attack if you make some small changes in your lifestyle.
Avoid smoke
Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow. You should avoid smoking and be cautious of air pollution if you want to live a healthy life.
Go for regular checkups
As discussed earlier, a heart attack may strike without warning. So it is recommended that you go for regular checkups to avoid the symptoms of a heart attack.
Keep your weight under control
If you are able to maintain a healthy weight, then you won't have to worry about suffering from diabetes. This lessens your chance of developing a heart disease.
Exercise regularly
Regular exercise keeps your blood pressure under control. Controlled blood pressure means less risk of getting struck with a heart attack.
Control stress
Stress contributes tremendously to develop heart diseases. So try to get some time off from your hectic schedule if you can.
Drink alcohol moderately
Drinking alcohol in an uncontrolled manner increases blood pressure. The recommended intake of alcohol for adults above 65, is one drink a day. For adults below 65, it's two drinks a day.
Eat a healthy diet
If your diet contains a high amount of saturated fat, then your blood cholesterol level will rise. Too much salt in your food will also increase your blood pressure. So try to eat a healthy diet to minimize the chances of suffering from a heart attack.
A heart attack affects millions of people worldwide. Please SHARE this post so that everyone has a basic knowledge of heart attacks.

I'm scared to leave the house. There's a group of kids that hang around outside my apartment block, and they somehow know I am gay. I live alone and it bugs me. They shout taunts and offensive names at me such as "faggot" and "queer", which I'm used to brushing off, but when it's every day it becomes wearing. What can I do?
-Out of the Closet and of Ideas
Your first step is to focus on maintaining a feeling of helplessness. As long as you can keep up that illusion, there's no need for any other step. You're done! And as a bonus, stop leaving the house. And even when you're at home, lay off the tap dancing.
You're welcome.
Well, it's a bit trickier I suppose. Because part of you finds this wearing, a gentle term for flagrantly unacceptable. But hey, it's something. Enough of a sense of justice, a sense of this being fucked up wrong, that you're unable to keep the status quo.
Now, I don't know where you are, and even if you have legal protections, that doesn't mean law enforcement will make the situation better. But you should still educate yourself about the law. Because hate speech can be considered assault. Whereas actual physical attacks are considered battery. Meaning, they may be committing crimes that have both legal and monetary consequences.
It may also depend the context in which they say the words, such as if they are preceded by "Die" vs. if they are preceded by "The awesome people in the world, and most worthy of respect and appreciation, are".
Without knowing about this particular situation, I would still recommend you take a self-defense class. It can be one tailored to LGBT if that's available, or you may find this a convenience time to train in a martial art. Get strong in yourself, know who you are, how to defense yourself as needed.
It's such a complicated issue really. You have to go with your gut and act. It's not right for you to just try to get through it with inaction. They may see you as week, as a victim, but that's not who you are. Look to your community for support.
The fact that anti-gay bullies are statistically more likely to have receptive anal sex in public restrooms than your average florist, does nothing to make them shut the hell up as you go about your business. While they may want to get a rise out of you and you're trying to not show it's bothering you, that should not stop you from taking action. Educate yourself, take precautions, get strong. You've already started.
And by the way, they don't necessarily know you're gay at all. They perceive you to be gay. Just like they might some faggoty ass, queer as fuck straight guy. with a theater degree, limp wrist and penny loafers. Pardon my language. I don't know where I pick these things up.
