When we take care of our children, we take care of the future of our society.
Changes in social, political, economic and family structures often have the greatest impact on children. In the event of armed conflict and other emergencies, the impact can be devastating. At HEAL Africa, we recognize that childrenare dependent individuals in need of nurturing and guidance from their caregivers to become independent adults. We believe they must be given the right to protection and given opportunities to health and well-being. While we are unable to address every facet of a child's physical and socio-emotional development at this time, HEAL Africa makes every effort to address children in their transitions. HEAL Africa's current activities with children focus on health care and education.
The prevalence of AIDS/HIV is immense, and eastern DRC is not exempt. HEAL Africa focuses on three categories of children with HIV. Those born with HIV positive mothers, those who are confirmed HIV positive, and those who have been orphaned as a result of neglect by caregivers and / or community upon contracting the disease.
To prevent the spread of HIV, HEAL Africa's staffoffers personal counseling and medical assistance. The outreach staff also conducts community education projects in communities that focus on prevention, support, and reducing the impact of HIV in a child's life when they are born from infected mothers. In circumstances where a child's caregiver has difficulty with follow up care, HEAL Africa mobilizes other women nearby with shared experiences to assist and establish a network of support.
The impact of HIV in the community has necessitated over 50 support groups and over 100 youth clubs.
HEAL Africa offers surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletaltrauma, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders. However, HEAL Africa's primary focus is to address malformation among children. The process is complex and expensive, but as the only provider in the region with medical expertise, many will travel miles for assistance. Periodically, HEAL Africa conducts outreach services in rural communities to offer treatment, as well as to those living in refugee camps.
When we care for our children, we care for the future of our society. HEAL Africa addresses the educational needs of children whose education has been interrupted as a result of conflict or long-term hospital stay.
HEAL Africa supports the operations of a primary school, where over 250 vulnerable children attend. Located in a rural village known as Mugunga, the school serves as the closest opportunity for any amount of education. Many of the children in attendance come from refugee families who have settled into their temporary housing as a result of continued conflict.
Children wandering without parental supervision within the walls of HEAL Africa is not an unusual sight. Many come for chapel services early in the mornings and remain throughout the day. Some children must remain at the hospital, as they or their caregivers receive treatment.Because treatments can vary in length,children are often left with limited supervision.
On Sundays, HEAL Africa holds a chapel service with an open invitation to all patients, staff and residents outside of the HEAL Africa hospital grounds, regardless of religious affiliation. Between children outside HEAL Africa's gates and children of hospital patients, the Sunday School program attracts approximately 300 children. HEAL Africa uses this opportunity to address the spiritual needs of children, by providing lessons with sound values so that today's children will contribute to a safer future for their community.
Within and outside HEAL Africa's walls, children are ever-present. And HEAL Africa celebrates each child who walks through their doors. But when staff walk in and out of the hospital grounds, it is difficult to avoid the children on the streets. Some are assisting their families in generating income by washing motorcycles, selling miscellaneous merchandise such as coal or food-stuffs. Many have become orphaned due to economic challenges in the family; others have lost their guardians as a result of the devastating conflict or a debilitating disease; some have fled or have been isolated from their own communities as a result of sexual violence; and most don't have a home or family to go back to at the end of the day.
For the children who are not patients or have family in the hospitals, HEAL Africa invites them to participate in the chapel services and Sunday School program.When necessary, HEAL Africa's outreach teams will reintegrate children back into their communities or plug them into a new ones. And in some occasions, HEAL Africa may find informal employment opportunities for older children in their late teens who are willing to learn and work hard around the hospital grounds.

Sam has the rules of slackerhood down: Don't be late to class. Don't ever look the teacher in the eye. Develop your blank stare. Since his mom left, he has become an expert in the art of slacking, especially since no one at his new school gets his intense passion for the music of the Pacific Northwest—Nirvana, Hole, Sleater-Kinney. Then his English teacher begins a slam poetry unit and Sam gets paired up with the daunting, scarred, clearly-a-gang-member Luis, who happens to sit next to him in every one of his classes. Slacking is no longer an option—Luis will destroy him. Told in Sam's raw voice and interspersed with vivid poems, Jumped In by Patrick Flores-Scott is a stunning debut novel about differences, friendship, loss, and the power of words.
My Thoughts
I'm not a big poetry person, but this sounded really interesting so I decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did. I actually loved getting to know Luis through his poems, and I loved seeing Sam open up a little and finally let people in. This book tackles many different issues. Stereotyping, friendship, family, and learning to find yourself. This was a book I was very unsure about and ended up really enjoying. It was a pleasant surprise.
Sam is the type of person who keeps to himself. Abandoned by his mom, and expecting her to return to bring him back to his old home, he never wanted to get close to people. Didn't want to form relationships with anyone if he was just leaving soon anyways. After it was apparent his mom wasn't coming back, he just didn't care to be friends with anyone. It's easier for him to just be by himself. He won't have to ever subject himself to that feeling of loss again. It isn't until Luis becomes an unexpected and unwelcome part of his life that he starts to see things differently. He finds an unlikely friendship with Luis. He discovers that his stereotyping may have been wrong, and that people aren't always who they seem on the outside.
I found the writing in this to be fabulous. At first I wasn't sure about hearing Sam tell us a bit about what is happening, then getting a poem written by Luis, but soon it really flowed and I was flying through the book. I wanted to know more about both of them, about where their story was going. I loved that this tackled the issue of stereotypes in such a cool way. I loved that everyone was so much more than meets the eye. Besides Luis and Sam, I loved all of the characters. I thought they were all well developed, especially their English teacher. Every character had a reason to be part of the story. There were no side characters just for the sake of moving the story along.
Upon finishing this book, I was surprised how much I felt. I started off not really feeling any sort of connection or emotions at all, and I'm not sure when they developed, but by the end I was aware of all the feels I had. It really caught me off guard, and I love that! This book was just so well rounded. It covers so many issues, it's so real, and it also gives a few little lessons on poetry that I found really cool. I think this is the type of book that all high school (or even middle school) kids should read. I am so glad that I decided to read something different from what I usually do. This was a great book.

Geoff LaTulippe Adapting Breathers: A Zombie's Lament for Diablo Cody and Mason Novick
by Alex Billington
February 16, 2009
Budding screenwriter Geoff LaTulippe is on a roll - his breakout script Going the Distance was on the Black List and is in development at New Line and now he's set to adapt a novel called "Breathers: A Zombie's Lament" written by S.G. Browne. In advance of its actual debut on bookshelves, LaTulippe is teaming up with producers Diablo Cody and Mason Novick (Juno, Jennifer's Body) to adapt the zombie novel and sell it to a studio. Sounds like one hell of a dream team. I'm sure the three are planning to whip up a "rom-zom-com" movie that, just as book does, "reinvents zombie culture for the 21st century."
This news originates from the Twitter for Production Weekly (via SlashFilm), although since that was posted, I've been able to confirm that it is indeed completely accurate, given I really don't trust Production Weekly at all. That said, since the book isn't even out in stores until March 3rd, I haven't really heard much buzz yet, so I'll turn to the plot description that comes from the trusted critics on Amazon:
"Andy Warner reanimates after the car accident that kills his wife, but is too mangled from his injuries to talk. He lives in his parents' wine cellar, occasionally attending a zombie support group and struggling to rejoin a society that offers the undead no rights, bans them from working and doesn't even punish those who destroy them. When Andy and his fellow zombies—notably Rita, a sexy suicide victim with a lipstick fetish, and Jerry, a Playboy-obsessed stoner—learn why they're so driven to consume human flesh, the repercussions are both tragic and hilarious."
That actually sounds like a hilarious story. Apparently it "neatly mixes humor and extreme violence with a surprisingly tender love story, some witty social satire and an extremely strong narrative voice." I'm actually very interested in reading it and I suggest you reserve a copy as well. If you're unsure at the moment, the first chapter of the book can be read in its entirety on the official website. While the zombie comedy genre has been explored extensively in the past few years, only a few particular movies really stand out - namely Shaun of the Dead, Army of Darkness, and Fido. Though I'll say that it sounds like "Breathers: A Zombie's Lament" is on the right path to becoming another zombie comedy favorite as well.

[62] Seleucus had seventy-two satraps under him, so extensive was the territory over which he ruled. The greater part he had transferred to his son, but he continued to reign over the country which lies between the Euphrates and the sea. The last war that he waged was with Lysimachus, for the possession of Phrygia on the Hellespont. Lysimachus
was defeated and slain in battle. Then Seleucus crossed
the Hellespont in order to possess himself of Lysimacheia, but he was killed by Ptolemy Ceraunus who accompanied him. This Ceraunus was the son of Ptolemy Soter and Euridice, the daughter of Antipater. He had left Egypt from fear, because his father had decided to leave the kingdom to his youngest son. Seleucus had received him as the unfortunate son of his friend, and thus he supported, and took around with himself everywhere, his own murderer.

I'm charging it up before I activate, but here are some initial observations: Thinner and lighter than I expected. Charging port is on the side, which I don't like as much as the Eris', which is on the bottom. Charging connector is totally different than on the Eris, which means buying a new car charger, as well as an extra house charger. OLED screen is vibrant and bright. Sense UI does allow unlocking by hitting the menu button, in lieu of swiping. I'll post more after I activate.

India threatens Amazon expelling over flag doormats
Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj has threatened to cancel the visas of all foreign Amazon employees after discovering the online retailer was selling Indian flag doormats.
"Amazon must tender unconditional apology. They must withdraw all products insulting our national flag immediately," Swaraj tweeted on Wednesday.
"If this is not done forthwith, we will not grant Indian visa to any Amazon official. We will also rescind the visas issued earlier," she added.
She also contacted the Indian High Commission in Canada, calling on them to take up the incident with Amazon "at the highest level."
Swaraj was informed of the doormats on Tuesday via a Twitter user who sent her a screen shot of the doormats. The user had also urged her to censure Amazon Canada.
The mats, which were being sold by a third-party and described as "personalized durable machine-washable indoor/outdoor items," were removed a few hours after the tweets.
"The item is no longer for sale on the site," said an Amazon spokesperson.
India, like many counties, has a Flag Code that determines how their national symbol must be treated. It requires, among other provisions, that the flag should never come in contact with the ground, or be printed on furniture or clothing.

24 is back, and the new series 24: Live Another Day will see infamous terrorist torturer Jack Bauer on the run from both the American and Russian governments, and hiding out in London.
The series sees Jack in London at the same time as the U.S. president makes a perilous visit. Take a look at the trailer here, which is full of Jack's usual renegade attitude and sees him pronounce: "If an American President is assassinated on foreign soil, you're looking at a World War."
See Also - Game of Thrones star cast is upcoming 24 event series
This series might have better been called 12, rather than 24, given that unusually for a 24 Season it will only have a 12 episode run - and it will skip some hours between episodes.
There are plenty of big names, however, to make up for the series' shortened run.
Game of Thrones' Michelle Fairley will appear in the show as the widow of a terrorist - and, while unconfirmed, it is possible that her character might mirror the real-life story of the so-called "White Widow", a British girl who married one of the men that detonated bombs on the London tube - and who then left England, and is to this day on the run from the law, believed to be in Somalia.
Stephen Fry, who appeared as the Master of Lake-Town in The Hobbit, is also set to appear.
So are you looking forward to seeing Jack back on the screen? What role do you think Fairley will play? And will this be the last outing for the notorious terrorist hunter Jack Bauer?

"The entire Central Business District stands to benefit when more people choose to come downtown for shopping, dining and entertainment," Brewer said. "New stores and restaurants have opened downtown this year in anticipation of the surge in shopper volume."

Sumer (circa 2500 BC)
• Region in ancient Mesopotamia, modern day Iran
• Capital city was Uruk, probably largest in the world at the time
• Brewing and drinking alcohol was a big part of the Sumerian life
• Brewed a form of beer they called "kash"
• Made from a grain, converted into "happir" bread, fermented then grapes and honey added
• It was unfiltered, so you needed to drink it with a straw
• Documented the brewing quality and amounts
• Made 8 types from barley, 8 from wheat and 3 from mixed grains
• Drinking was documented and regulated
• A quote from the famous Sumerian poem, and possibly the oldest written work in existence, called "Gilgamesh" (circa 2000 B.C.) translated into English
Enkidu knew nothing about eating bread for food,
And of drinking beer he had not been taught.
The harlot spoke to Enkidu saying,
'Eat the food, Enkidu. It is the way one lives.
Drink the beer, as is the custom of the land."
Enkidu ate the food until he was sated.
He drank the jugs – 7 jugs! He became expansive and sang with joy!"
Egypt (circa 3400 BC)
• World's oldest brewery found in the ruins of the city of Hierakonpolis
• The common person drank beer & the rulers drank wine
• Sumerian-style beer brewed
• Could produce up to 3,000 gallons a day
• Also the site of a significant pottery business
• Main products were jugs and cups for beer
• Very large number of relics remain
• Beer was unquestionably a big part of the lifestyle
• Many different varietals of wine
• Wine was made and traded throughout the Middle East, mostly modern Israel & Palestine
More on ancient Egyptian brews in the next installment…

Colum Kenny: Crisis in Japan exposes nuclear threat closer to home
Britain's lack of adequate storage for nuclear waste is putting us at risk, writes Colum Kenny
EVENTS in Japan are a wake-up call when it comes to the continuing failure of Britain to build a safe long-term dump for its most high-risk energy by-products.
This has nothing to do with being for or against nuclear energy. It has everything to do with the fact that, either way, nuclear waste continues to be stored in undesirable and potentially unstable conditions at Sella- field and elsewhere.
Earlier this month, the Irish Times reported that Professor Philip Watson of NUI Galway and colleagues of his in a pro-nuclear body called Better Environment with Nuclear Energy (BENE) have described as "myth" the argument that disposal of nuclear waste is an unresolved issue. BENE claims that waste disposal is "a political problem and not a technical one". But that makes it no less of a problem, because one of the main political issues is whether or not the public is willing to foot the enormous bill for storing nuclear waste.

It is far better to devote yourself to a few authors than to get lost among many. — Seneca
I wrote recently about why it's good to keep count of how many books you read. What I didn't mention is, re-reading a book should count the same as reading a new book. If not more.
First time through, your brain does a lot of work to map out the structure of the book, its arguments and themes, and a mental model of the concepts being discussed. Researching the book before you jump in helps, but this work still has to be done no matter how much you study in advance.
But the second time through, that's mostly over. Your mind is free to catch subtleties you missed before. The book reads more clearly. You finish it book faster. You begin to understand the subject on an intuitive level. This is the greatest value in reading: studying a book long enough to internalize its message.
It's like driving to a new place: it takes forever to get there. But on the way back, everything feels sped-up. You're familiar with the route now; you know what to expect. The hard brain-work of wiring a fresh path through the neurons is done.
I'd like to re-read a book every month or two, but right now that rarely happens. I get distracted by New Book Sexiness.
Sex is actually a nice metaphor. A lot of people talk about how great it is to read around, sampling a different book every time. But anyone who's stuck with one book for the long haul knows that this leads to a richer life.
New books are always going to be sexier — it feels almost like an instinct. And if you have a long list of stuff you want to get to, there's a certain pressure to pick something different off the shelf, in the name of "progress".
But the re-read always rewards your selection.
The biggest reason to re-read is the huge jump in your retention and understanding of the material. Even just reading a book twice is 200% better than reading it once — OK, I totally just made that up; but I dare you to try it and disagree.
The way my memories of a book feel after one read is like when I listen to a record for the first time. I can identify a few songs I liked, and a few songs I didn't like. But I can't describe in detail why: I hardly remember the specific rhythms and melodies, how they sounded, what makes them tick.
When I play an album I've listened to dozens of times, I can anticipate every element of the song. I have muscle memory for it. Each song's neural pathway is rock solid — it's literally a part of me that I enjoy and understand and feel on a very deep level.
Books are the same. I can recount a few anecdotes and themes from a book on the first pass, but the knowledge feels somehow superficial. It's tenuous, hanging by a thread on the edge of my brain, ready to be shoved out by whatever new piece of information I pick up next.
With books I've read several times, the knowledge feels wedged deep inside my skull, grafted to the very center of my brain. It would take a jackhammer to drive it out of there.
This kind of knowledge goes beyond words. If called upon, I can meditate on the subject and come up with an elegant explanation — or at least a coherent one. But that requires work, because I'm translating the ideas into words from something deeper. Some internal sense language that only the neurons in my head speak.
This is the goal I have for every important book I read. I'm not just trying to read them. I'm devouring them. The whole food-book metaphor is way overplayed, but there's a reason for that. Books are like few other things in the external world in the way you can make them a part of you. Put them on a small pedestal alongside music, film, painting, and yes, food.
You'd never play a great record once and then move right on to the next one, would you? Avoid assigning your favorite books such an indecorous fate.

Find Savings Rooted in Your Own Backyard
(Family Features) – As Americans look for simple ways to cut back on spending, one place to start is in your own backyard. Planting a vegetable garden is a great way to generate a continuous supply of produce, while also helping to reduce your grocery bill. According to the National Gardening Association (NGA), investing approximately $70 in planting a garden can save an individual about $600 in produce during the first year. Senior horticulturist for the NGA Charlie Nardozzi offers these tips for producing your own vegetable bounty:
Utilize your compost pile. One of the best ways to get the most from your vegetable garden is to build healthy soil. If your soil is poor, it should be amended with a two to three-inch layer of compost worked into the garden before planting. Every spring or fall before planting, mix in a one to two-inch layer of the compost to keep your soil healthy.
Feed your veggies. Even if you have compost-amended soil, your plants will benefit from a dose of fertilizer during the growing season. For heavy feeders, such as tomato, pepper, eggplant, and broccoli stalks, fertilize monthly with an organic granular fertilizer. For vine plants like cucumber, squash, pumpkin, and melon, fertilize them when they start to run and again when fruits begin to form.
Contain the garden. If you have limited space to grow your own vegetables in the yard, try a container gardening. Tomatoes and squash grow best in large containers, while carrots, beans, and greens can be planted in smaller, 10- to 12-inch pots. When buying a container, make sure it has drainage holes for letting water out. After filling each container with potting soil, fertilize the vegetables monthly and keep them in full sun and well watered.
Grow your vegetables up. A great way to maximize your planting space is to grow vegetables vertically on a trellis. Pole beans, peas, cucumbers and even summer squash can be trained to grow up. Use bamboo, wooden, or metal stakes, a trellis or even a fence to keep your plants growing vertical. Stake or cage tomatoes, peppers and eggplants so the fruits stay off of the ground and don't rot.
Invest in your tools. Save money by investing in durable tools that will last year-after-year. Have a quality trowel and shovel, sharp shears, and a sturdy wheelbarrow on hand. Lifetime Products makes a wheelbarrow with a unique design that distributes more weight to the wheels, helping to relieve stress on your arms and back. The wheelbarrow also has a tub made from 100 percent recycled material, so you can green your lawn and the environment.

Editor—Our experience with patients admitted with acute chest pain leads us to propose that coronary care units should issue each patient with their electrocardiogram before discharge.
Commonly, patients given thrombolysis are given a thrombolysis card to carry. Possession of an electrocardiogram recorded on the last day of the most recent admission …

Today is a bright a shiny spring day and I found myself remembering friends. I have had many, many friends throughout my life, but most of them moved out of my life. I think I am not the best at keeping in touch and considering how many different "careers" I have had (everything from scientist to sales manager to market analyst to homeschooling mom), I suppose it could be understandable.
I havent spent much time on social media reconnecting simply because I would much rather sit down in the kitchen with a cup of coffee and a tasty treat and chat over the table with a friend. Social media always seems to me like those really, really long Christmas letters we invariably recieve each year that enumerate all the accomplishments of a family – too many details and too much of what seems like social media marketing more than sharing.
I think often of my closest friends. A few of them are nearby and in touch. Others are far away and we remain friends only because we know that we like each other and treasure the times that we get to see each other. Still others live only in my memories, providing me daily with remembered advice and special shared moments. Those are the friends I miss most as I will not see them again on this world.
My truest friend in all the world, though, spends his days right beside me. My husband travels through this life by my side as my companion and my best friend. I have known him for more than 30 years. Life with him is comforting and safe and constant. And today is the anniversary of the afternoon that we pledged ourselves to each other, exchanged rings, laughed, cried, and ate cake.
And so in celebration and rememberance of all my friends, especially my husband, I am off to bake a chocolate cake!
This is a five minute Friday post with the word prompt for the day brought to you by Kate: Friends. Five Minute Friday is a group of people who gather on Friday to do a five minute free writing session around a word prompt. Then we share what we have written and offer encouragement.

I guess Summertime isn't meant for remodeling. Especially when one's contractor decides to take a 6 week vacation all the way to Serbia. Now, I'd have to get my atlas out to know exactly where Serbia is. My contractor is due back August the 15th, and 12 days later after that I am due to leave on my yearly vacation to Wisconsin with my husband and grandson.
It's been hot in Chicago. Temperatures in the 90's. The attic isn't airconditioned yet, of course, so workers would have a rough time up there.
I waited this long, what's a few more months, right? Well I am done complaining. I obviously have no control over anything, anyway.
I am looking forward to my vacation. One week in the Dells at the end of the Summer with the two most important men in my life. We stay in a 2 bedroom unit in the Glacier Canyon Lodge at the Wilderness Resort, and it is wonderful. Waterparks on the premises, and very nice restaurants. The best thing, is the peace and quiet, and all the great alone time. My husband really loves the place, and this vacation is especially for him. He works hard all year, and it's the one week out of the year that he really deserves to get away. He likes the fact that it's all just a 3 hour drive up there from Chicago.
Summertime. Hey my birthday is just around the corner.

Federal Government calls for input on regulation of caffeinated energy drinks amid health concerns
The Department of Health is releasing a discussion paper on the regulation and availability of caffeinated energy drinks amid growing concern from health groups about adverse medical affects.
Caffeine overdoses have been associated with various health conditions and even linked to the death of a woman in New Zealand.
The Department of Health says the discussion paper has been put together by the Food Regulation Standing Committee (FRSC) Caffeine Working Group to offer "policy guidance" on the issue.
"The review of the policy guideline is occurring in response to the changes to the food supply since it was introduced in 2003 and follows the increased number of food products on the market in recent years containing caffeine and public health concerns associated with caffeinated energy drinks," the health department told the ABC in a statement.
"The Policy Options paper does not advise on changes to the regulation of caffeine. Rather it provides options for overarching policy guidance that Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) must have regard to when developing or reviewing regulations on the use of caffeine in the food supply."
Caffeine energy drink dangers
- overdoses linked to health conditions and even death of a NZ woman
- growing numbers reporting caffeine toxicity after drinking energy drinks
- food code restricts level of caffeine allowed in drinks
- Campaigners want drinks limited to over-18s
- discussion paper will provide policy advice on concerns linked to caffeine energy drinks
Earlier this year, a study found a growing number of people are reporting caffeine toxicity from energy drinks in Australia, especially teenagers.
The Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code restricts how much caffeine can be added to cola-type soft drinks and energy drinks.
There are also labelling requirements advising the products are not safe for children or pregnant women.
The discussion paper says there are three options: to leave regulations as they are, to amend them or to order a full review.
The committee says the issue of mixing alcohol with energy drinks is outside the scope of this discussion paper. It is investigating that separately with the Intergovernmental Committee on Drugs.
Caffeine and sugar a bad combination for health
Jane Martin from the Obesity Policy Coalition says the sale of energy drinks should be restricted to people over the age of 18.
"I mean these drinks are heavy with caffeine, a stimulant, (and) they're very high in sugar - a pretty amazing combination," Ms Martin said.
I hope to see us having some firm evidence to see if these substances produce adverse effects regularly and under what circumstances. It's important to protect young people. In France some of these substances are banned.Dr Kevin Alford
"We have an epidemic of obesity and we know that caffeine is addictive, so caffeine in these products is designed to encourage consumption and ongoing consumption and then (consumers are) getting sugar together with (caffeine).
"I think 18 would be appropriate. It's acceptable as far as the purchase of alcohol (and) it sends a message that these products aren't safe for children," she said.
She said a small energy drink is the equivalent of a cup of coffee with seven teaspoons of sugar, an issue for dental health as well as obesity.
"Drinks that are fizzy and full of sugar are a problem for teeth and caffeine has a drying-out effect because it dehydrates you.
"If you have less saliva in your mouth that's not good for your teeth health," she said.
Popularity booms as sellers remain wary of more red tape
Energy drinks are a fast-growing product in an otherwise flat soft drink sector.
IBISWorld says Australian consumption has more than quadrupled in the past decade.
Energy drinks now account for 6.7 per cent of the soft drinks market and IBISWorld data shows brands such as of Mother, V and Red Bull have all been strong performers.
Nic Moulis from the Australasian Convenience and Petroleum Marketers Association says energy drinks are an important retail product for his members.
"What we see at the moment is that fuel retailers earn a large proportion of their income from the sale of non-fuel products and that can include food and drinks and confectionary and even tobacco," he said.
"There's a few things we don't want to see here. One is continual layers of red tape that make it more difficult for us to sell products, as well as confusing for consumers who are coming to buy those.
"But we also, as we said earlier this year, are concerned about health issues for people.
"So we're happy for there to be a consultation process as long as we're all mindful of what we're here to achieve."
Cautious consumers call for more regulation
While energy drinks are popular, they do not always have the desired effect of increased energy levels and alertness.
Sydney man Michael Lough is a keen endurance athlete.
He has a minor heart condition but is still able to regularly train for triathlons.
We have an epidemic of obesity and we know that caffeine is addictive, so caffeine in these products is designed to encourage consumption and ongoing consumption and then (consumers are) getting sugar together with (caffeine).Jane Martin
But Mr Lough did not get the type of boost he was hoping for from an energy drink and instead ended up in the hands of a cardiologist.
"Heart palpitations was the biggest thing, quite severe heart palpitations that led to a bit of dizziness and increased sweating as well," he said.
"The cardiologist did say there was a small chance that if I did keep doing what I was doing, there would be some extra damage."
He said he was lucky in that his heart condition is minor and can be controlled.
"I think in other circumstances though, where people have an undiagnosed heart condition, they simply don't know (and) there is a lot of potential for that condition to be exacerbated by taking in these energy drinks.
He said more regulation is needed to ensure the amount of caffeine in a product is made more clear on its label.
A copy of the Food Regulation Policy Options Paper on the Regulation of Caffeine in Foods and the process for making a submission can be found on the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries website.
The consultation period will run until 6pm on Friday October 18.
Caffeine: health and well being
Caffeine is our favourite legal drug and the world's most popular drink. What does it do to your body, and how much is too much?
Caffeine, like nicotine, is legal, and, if not addictive, it's definitely habit-forming. Unlike nicotine, caffeine is a lot more sociably acceptable. But whether you indulge occasionally or are a seasoned user, there's a lot about caffeine that might surprise you.

Energy drinks pack a lot of punch
From the supermarket to the service station, if you've walked into a grocery store lately then chances are you've seen, and possibly even bought, an energy drink.
Around 20 per cent of beverages sold in Australian convenience stores are energy drinks. Given that the drinks claim to improve performance, alertness and concentration, it's hardly surprising that their target market is young people.

Dubai, Dec 8: The world's first handcrafted herbal Holy Quran, made from about 200 medicinal plants, has been unveiled here. The Quran has been made by the Islamic arts and calligraphy company, Heddem Arts and has been crafted over 23 years from 1957 to 1979 by Turkish Unani Doctor Hamdi Taher.
The Quran is made of high potency herbal mixtures prepared as per Unani medical system.
The herbal-cream-written Quran includes 606 pages and weighs about 7.5 kilogramme.
"Patiently handcrafted over the years, every word and design in the Holy Quran is made without using any printing technology, tools or machinery because of which it is truly one of a kind," Abdul Azeaz Bin Hassan, Islamic religious adviser at Heddem Arts, said.
"We contacted 1,714 museums in 80 countries to verify that no one else has crafted such a unique Holy Quran or any other book, it is truly one of a kind," he said.
Heddem Arts is a company and place that speaks of extra ordinary rare kind of Holy Qurans, Islamic Arts, Calligraphs, and expertise.
