| Daily Economic Roundup - August 28, 2009 |
| Friday, August 28, 2009 |
United States
Rough day at the office for the USD, as it limped across the board and fell against all other majors. The tough day was caused by an increase in optimism boosted stocks and oil prices as US GDP data came in better than expected. More...
Euro zone
The plethora of data released during the Euro session failed to create any decisive movement on the EUR/USD pair yesterday. It seemed the day was going to be a bore... until the afternoon US session came rolling along. More...
United Kingdom
The GBP came from behind and made a late run to capture second place, while placing the USD third in yesterday's trading leg. It, however, fell short of the JPY as it touched the finish line miles ahead. More...
Japan
The Yen ended yesterday's session mixed. It fell against the likes of the EUR, AUD, NZD but managed to edge the GBP and the USD. More...
Canada
Oil prices jumped by 2% yesterday and the Loonie decided to hop in on the action. Equities and higher-yielding currencies surged as risk-taking was seen all over the markets. More...
Australia
An unexpected surge in business investments caused the Aussie to zoom up to the 0.8400 mark yesterday. Also reaffirming the strength of the Australian economy was the CB leading index, which hinted at economic expansion in the next few months. More...
New Zealand
The NZD was finally able to advance against the USD late into the US session yesterday. The rally was fast and furious yet buyers weren't strong enough to pierce through this year's highest price levels. It ended the day just a few pips shy of the 0.6900 handle. More...
Switzerland
The Swiss franc sliced through the USD like it was cheese, as the USDCHF dropped late in the US session. The extreme volatility caused the pair to hit a new yearly low at 1.0531, before it cooled off and closed trading at 1.058 |

| Symptoms Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) |
| Tuesday, August 4, 2009 |
The symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis come and go, depending on the degree of tissue inflammation. When body tissues are inflamed, the disease is active. When tissue inflammation subsides, the disease is inactive (in remission). Remissions can occur spontaneously or with treatment, and can last weeks, months, or years. During remissions, symptoms of the disease disappear, and patients generally feel well. When the disease becomes active again (relapse), symptoms return. The return of disease activity and symptoms is called a flare. The course of rheumatoid arthritis varies from patient to patient, and periods of flares and remissions are typical.
When the disease is active, symptoms can include fatigue, lack of appetite, low-grade fever, muscle and joint aches, and stiffness. Muscle and joint stiffness are usually most notable in the morning and after periods of inactivity. Arthritis is common during disease flares. Also during flares, joints frequently become red, swollen, painful, and tender. This occurs because the lining tissue of the joint (synovium) becomes inflamed, resulting in the production of excessive joint fluid (synovial fluid). The synovium also thickens with inflammation (synovitis).
In rheumatoid arthritis, multiple joints are usually inflamed in a symmetrical pattern (both sides of the body affected). The small joints of both the hands and wrists are often involved. Simple tasks of daily living, such as turning door knobs and opening jars can become difficult during flares. The small joints of the feet are also commonly involved. Occasionally, only one joint is inflamed. When only one joint is involved, the arthritis can mimic the joint inflammation caused by other forms of arthritis, such as gout or joint infection. Chronic inflammation can cause damage to body tissues, cartilage and bone. This leads to a loss of cartilage and erosion and weakness of the bones as well as the muscles, resulting in joint deformity, destruction, and loss of function. Rarely, rheumatoid arthritis can even affect the joint that is responsible for the tightening of our vocal cords to change the tone of our voice, the cricoarytenoid joint. When this joint is inflamed, it can cause hoarseness of voice.
Since rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease, its inflammation can affect organs and areas of the body other than the joints. Inflammation of the glands of the eyes and mouth can cause dryness of these areas and is referred to as Sjogren's syndrome. Rheumatoid inflammation of the lung lining (pleuritis) causes chest pain with deep breathing or coughing. The lung tissue itself can also become inflamed, and sometimes nodules of inflammation (rheumatoid nodules) develop within the lungs. Inflammation of the tissue (pericardium) surrounding the heart, called pericarditis, can cause a chest pain that typically changes in intensity when lying down or leaning forward. The rheumatoid disease can reduce the number of red blood cells (anemia) and white blood cells. Decreased white cells can be associated with an enlarged spleen (referred to as Felty's syndrome) and can increase the risk of infections. Firm lumps under the skin (rheumatoid nodules) can occur around the elbows and fingers where there is frequent pressure. Even though these nodules usually do not cause symptoms, occasionally they can become infected. A rare, serious complication, usually with long-standing rheumatoid disease, is blood-vessel inflammation (vasculitis). Vasculitis can impair blood supply to tissues and lead to tissue death. This is most often initially visible as tiny black areas around the nail beds or as leg ulcers. |

| First winners @ Glo text 4 million promo receive prizes Part 2 |
|
Equally, Port Harcourt-based Ekeoma, said the experience demonstrated the length that Globacom has gone in order to identify the real winners in its promos.
Pointing out that the encouragement to participate in the promo came from his wife after both watched the campaign commercial on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) News-line.
“In fact, my wife encouraged me to play. Five days later, I was called but my phone was off. But the Glo people traced my line to find out the last person I called.
Fortunately I was with that person when they called him to enquire about me. I want to let everybody know that Glo is straight forward, Glo is faithful and Glo is generous,” he narrated.
According to Ekeoma, he played only 40 times, spending a total of N4,000 in the promo to emerge a winner of the N1m cash prize.
And for another winner, Mr. Ashiru Adigun, winning N1m in the promo is both a surprise and a blessing. He praised Glo for the promo to reward its loyal subscribers, even as he encouraged fellow subscribers on the network to join by playing as anyone could win in the promo.
“Keep on trying, Glo subscribers, keep playing”, he said.
The winners were presented with their prizes by Glo ambassadors who also celebrated with them at the occasion. The Glo ambassadors include Ramsey Nouah, Nonso Diobi, Mike Ezuruonye, Kate Henshaw Nuttal, Rita Dominic, Chioma Chukwuka, Monalisa Chinda, Ini Edo, Uche Jombo and Funke Akindele.
Meanwhile, Globacom has been commended for being environmentally friendly telecom operator at the launch of Plant A Tree Today Initiative (PATIN), an initiative of the wife of the Senate President, Mrs. Helen Onma Mark, which held in Abuja, weekend.
According to Mrs. Mark, “Globacom is graciously leading the way in partnership with the sponsorship of this project, which has enabled us to take off.”
Explaining the goal of PATIN, she said the initiative “is setting a modest target of platting one million trees per local government in the first phase of four years.”
Also, she said that the PATIN would be interested in securing the nation`s diverse ecosystem through a variety of other activities and invited Nigerians to emulate the telecommunications operator and join hands with her organization in “this drive to save and rule our world.”
Member of the Senate Committee on the Environment, Senator (Lady) Eme Ufot Ekaette equally praised Globacom’s support for the project, saying it was not just a coincidence that Globacom chose a green colour for its brand as the colour is nature friendly.
“Glo has been nature friendly, their colour is earth friendly,” she declared. |

•As PATIN commends
In fulfillment of the promise to subscribers when the Glo Text 4 million promotion was launched, the Second National Operator (SNO), Globacom Limited, last week, presented N1 million cheque each to the first round of four winners in the scheme.
The beneficiaries included a resident of Port Harcourt, Chigozie Ekeoma, Mr. Ashiru Adigun from Warri, Delta State, Mr. Friday Obiebi also from Warri and Mr. Kwabena Yeboah, a Ghanaian resident in Lagos.
This is coming as the second batch of winners emerged on Monday, from the weekly promo.
Excited winners used the chance to eulogize the SNO while expressing surprise for being among the lucky millionaires to emerge in the first week of the promo.
They noted that the initial calls were received with disbelief until they got to the Globacom office where their winnings were confirmed. One of the first week winners and Warri-based, Mr. Obiebi said, he received the phone call notifying him that he had won with a lot of doubt.
“When the call came, I said ‘Whosai’, these people don come again. But when I was called again to go to the Glo office in Warri and met the people there, I start to dey believe. Now wey I don get the cheque, I now believe,” he said in his colloquial Warri slang.
He advised other Glo subscribers to continue participating in the promo as anyone could be lucky enough to win, noting that the notification process is very clear as the winner will be asked to go to only Glo offices for verification.
For the Ghanaian Yeboah, the call came when he was in Ghana. After initial doubts and disbelief, he explained to the callers that he was in Ghana and would not return till the end of the month.
But on hearing that the date for the presentation had been fixed, he decided to return and claim his cheque. Yeboah commended Globacom for being truthful and credible about the Text4Million promo. |

| Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) |
|
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Rheumatoid arthritis can also cause inflammation of the tissue around the joints, as well as in other organs in the body. Autoimmune diseases are illnesses that occur when the body tissues are mistakenly attacked by its own immune system. The immune system is a complex organization of cells and antibodies designed normally to "seek and destroy" invaders of the body, particularly infections. Patients with autoimmune diseases have antibodies in their blood that target their own body tissues, where they can be associated with inflammation. Because it can affect multiple other organs of the body, rheumatoid arthritis is referred to as a systemic illness and is sometimes called rheumatoid disease. Typically, rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive illness that has the potential to cause joint destruction and functional disability.
While rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic illness, meaning it can last for years, patients may experience long periods without symptoms. |
