Completely agree with u there & I for one have come home to vote I'm pretty sure you have to actually be a resident in Scotland to vote and can't just pop back to vote. Or am I wrong? Yes, I do still have residency in Scotland & I'm entitled to vote, would nt miss this for the world! So if you can still vote in Scotland you would by definition have trouble understanding those who have been expats longer and have concerns about some of the policies?

Avoid DBS! My daughter attended a great school in the UK and I opted for DBS when I moved to Dubai as I wanted a british curriculum. The school, in my opinion, is well below standard and my daughter definitley degressed whilst there. Complained many, many times and things would go well for a couple of weeks afterwards but then standards would soon start slipping again. Have since moved her to Dubai College and it was the best moved I ever made. Thank you for your help, this means DBS for secondary level is not good enough. Due to late admission there are no places in Dubai College, On the other hand I have choice for English college. This does not mean the school is not good enough, it means that one poster did not find the school to her liking based on the experience of one student. DBS gets good results and many students do very well there, i certainly would not rule it out.

Actually water is H2O but usually has minerals and salts dissolved inside it. That's why you have the mineral contents on the side of bottled water showing things like sodium, calcium.... and usually with ph other than 7. Not a water expert or anything but it is possible that the manufacturers have mixed in minerals or something to increase the amount of H2O your body actually absorbs after drinking the same volume of 'water' Urm, nope that is not possible in my view when you still call it H2O.

So if it's a blood test how is it localized to the gut? Could be vaginal (thrush), oral, between toes (athletes foot), skin infection, scalp etc This test requires a small blood sample so they can check for any candida yeast infection by measuring antibodies to the candida. IgM antibodies will tell you if you have an infection right now or not. IgG antibodies reflect a past or ongoing infection. IgA will reflect a more superficial infection or an infection that is on the outside surface of the mucosal linings of the body. An IgG candida blood yeast test in conjunction with a stool test called a Candida Intensive Culture. If both are positive you most definitely have candida yeast in your body. Google is amazing! Yes lots of stuff like that on non scientifically proven sites. So here are some links to question what you have just posted, which i still see major flaws with. http://www.allergy-clinic.co.uk/introduction-to-allergy/controversial-tests/ https://www.healthtap.com/topics/blood-test-for-candida

So if we re better together, why are nt we better now? The Westminster government are tearing the country to shreds! As far as I can see our only hope of a better future is to make our own! So what do you actually mean and how do you believe Scots will better off? How will they be better off, please explain why you would vote yes? I mean, everyone who is saying we re better together, why? The country is a mess! & things are continuing to get worse! Things have to change! This is our chance to change our country for the benefit & future of our children and future generations! One of a million examples being trident, if we have a yes vote, the Westminster government will have to move their nuclear weapons out of Scotland, the small rural village near the proposed new site are rightly up in arms about having nuclear weapons on their doorsteps, but the people of Scotland's biggest city Glasgow have had no say whatsoever about having these weapons just a few miles away! We are continually being used as a dumping ground by a Westminster government whose last priority is the health & welfare of Scotland! edited by Scottishbambi on 14/09/2014 I'm slightly dumbfounded by your response, please explain to me the financial implications for Scotland if it was to break from the UK? Explain to me how Scotland is to fund its self? Explain to me when all the UK companies move out what is going to happen to your employment figures? Do you think England is better off re health and welfare? Do you think the UK has not just been in the worst economic mess ever recorded and is actually managing to turn that around and that a split with Scotland now will bring financial ruin for Scotland? Do you really think that the above is a basis to split with the uk?

I suffered constantly for almost 2 years.... Now in the last 4 years I have only had 2 very short bouts. Stop eating anything with , yeast, wheat, sugar or fruit... It will take just a few days , then you will feel much better. I'm sorry but have you read the thread? Nowhere has the OP said she is suffering or any symptoms.

It will entirely depend on the individual school, factors will be; Key stage leadership, curriculum being followed and Phonics programme being used. Some schools will stream at this age, some will not. Some schools will give challenging words others will not. Some will give weekly tests and work to be done, some will not. Progress should be being measured in all schools and recorded, this is normally done by informal and formal testing using standardised testing based on the curriculum being used, although some schools create their own up. Progress is hard to measure without testing in some way as it would be down to an individual teacher’s perspective based on their own proficiency, which can vary, hence standardised testing. HTH If you are interested in a specific school then ask them the question or ask here for feedback from parents who have experience of that school. <em>edited by Lolacat on 14/09/2014</em>

I want to ask if its possible to put back into mainstream school once you have home schooled your kid? He is in KG2 right now but I am thinking of pulling him out. He was diagnosed wiyh mild autism spectrum disorder and I saw that everything is too much for him and he gets so nervous at the site of the school bus picking him up. He will be getting ABA therapy and Im thinking that I will home school him and once he gets better and feel that he is ready Im thinking of putting him back to mainstream school here in Dubai. I just like to know if there will be problems if I do that. Also look at Rashid peadiactric therapy centre for advice and schooling.

OP, I can't determine by your post wording, when you say you "found out about it," do you mean you were diagnosed when your food intolerance tests were performed, or rather you were informed that this *could* be condition you suffer from? Most people who I know who have suffered from candida had severe symptoms. I also find it strange that the place where you had this intolerance test didn't give you any recommendations for medicinal therapy or guidance. At least I am assuming they didn't, since you are asking for a reference for a physician on this forum. @beebers...I got the food intolerance test done at the Dubai treatment and herbal centre...since I have tested positive for candida I'd like to go to a specialist in a hospital for the treatment...I usually go to the American hospital but they have one GI specialist and appointments are not available until oct...I am not really suffering from it in any way but since it is an imbalance, I want to get it fixed... I really do advise you to go to a good GP and start from the beginning rather than jumping to an end which could very well be incorrect. Have you had a comprehensive blood test done? Have you had a recent smear test? Have you had a well woman test recently or been offered a scan? If you go to a good GP they will advise who to see and be able to refer you under insurance to the correct specialist should you need.

My point is that soo many people seem to be going and having intolerance testing and coming out some rather wierd information. I have not suggested hard core meds i suggest seeing a medical doctor who can diagnose tests relevant to the symptoms. Overgrowth of candida in the gut could result from poor diet to cancer. Hence why IMHO food intolerance testing should be only under the advice of your doctor and in conjunction with other diagnostics. You are advising how to treat yet you have no idea if this woman is suffering from something more sinister and that concerns me, hence why i will always advise seeking further medical advice in order for the OP to seek clarity about whatever condition she may have. edited by Lolacat on 14/09/2014 I think you misunderstood me, Lolacat; I wasn't for a minute suggesting that you recommended hard core meds, rather that the OP herself was heading down this path. As to me advising her how to treat with having no idea from what she was suffering, I was simply responding to the OPs own diagnosis, which I think is the whole point of asking a question on a forum, isn't it? I think the OP was vague as to what her situation really is TBH, she has been told something but as Beebers points out there was strangley no follow up advice or referral.

I'm rather skeptical about it all.

It's not tosh at all, Lolacat. Yes, candida occurs naturally in the gut but a lot of people experience a myriad of uncomfortable symptoms when there's an over-abundance of it, where it kills off more of the good organisms in the gut and produces too much of the bad. You can create good gut health with natural remedy and diet, rather than hard-core meds, which will likely only mask the problem anyway. Being a fungal organism it loves sugar, so if you're serious about getting rid of it, you'll have to eliminate all sugar from your diet. Taking EV coconut oil before meals, and baking soda in water after meals also helps. You should also take a daily probiotic, the strongest you can get (50billion CFU+) My point is that soo many people seem to be going and having intolerance testing and coming out some rather wierd information. I have not suggested hard core meds i suggest seeing a medical doctor who can diagnose tests relevant to the symptoms. Overgrowth of candida in the gut could result from poor diet to cancer.

guys...candida is a bacteria in the gut...I recently did the food intolerance test and found out about it...it seems it should be treated with medication and so am looking for a specialist... I suggest you go and visit a qualified doctor, Dr Carol Smiley is excellent and she will be able to help. I'm not sure what you have been told but it sounds like complete tosh, Candida is a fungus not a bacteria and it is natually present in the gut. A problem with your guts needs investigation by a medical doctor as it can be syptomatic of another issue. <em>edited by Lolacat on 14/09/2014</em>

Bravissimo deliver here within days, order online. I ordered from Bravissimo and never received my shipment. Later, I realized I probably had to go down to the main post office in karama to pick it up but the thought of having to do that put me completely off ordering from them again. Don't know why they couldn't just send it DHL, but I spoke to them and they said they don't. I've ordered from them for years here and the order arrives within days to your PO box address, never had any issues at all. Always make sure the PO address is correct and a telephone number in case a package ends up at the central post office. The CPO really is not difficult to go to and they are very helpful.

LT, why will a YES mean you'd lose your home in Cyprus? :( Because I will no longer hold an EU passport. Scotland will not be in the EU if it leaves UK. I won't lose my house, I just will not be able to live here, except as an alien, which is much more difficult and has far more demanding criteria to meet. My DH is is US, my passport expires next year and shortly thereafter my DH's residency (as an alien spouse to be renewed at five year intervals) will be dependent on a passport with no EU status. Even if Scotland applies for EU residency it will take years, in the meantime, what on earth are we going to do? Cyprus Immigration is not exactly user friendly nor very flexible. Oh well, let';s not panic till after Thursday!! edited by Livelytrish on 13/09/2014 If it is a yes vote LT you could always "lose" your passport and get another 10 year one issued quick smart before any changes takes effect - after all it will be another 18 months before Scotland gains it's independence officially So when LT is 93 what is she to do then???

Id be surprised if anyone went to see Gaga and was going to be offended by that - she is a brand, and that brand as it is was brought here and tickets were bought to invest frther in that brand, in its entirety. Anyone who was going to be offended need be angry at themselves for investing in the contitaiton of a brand that does that. Calling a person a swine is in line with things though as it is not saying how cool it is to be a swine, it is saying how filthy it is. So, sorta went with the beliefs in an extravagant Gaga way. Judging from the crowd reaction there were quite number of people offended. It made a bit of a mockery of what she said before the concert.... “I respect the culture here. The show will be appropriate for all the fans here in Dubai. I was told there were some restrictions. I know some artists are very strict about their policies, that they cannot adhere to their art by compromising, but I actually believe it is important to respect other cultures and not force them to adhere to the beliefs of your own country. In fact, it is a better way to connect with the ­people. This is right. This land is what it is not because it forbade everything rather because it fond balance., that even the bad was toned down.

She finds a job or she is home, it's simple and her problem not yours. There are hundreds of jobs available for her, she needs to get off her backside and find one. Alternatively suggest she goes and works for an agency for a while, some of them are run well and their staff are paid well, Homesafe is one, there are more. The last thing you need is this being a problem for you, tell her straight and stick to it, you are not being mean at all.

Better for the children not to be raised in prison - am not sure how anyone can think that its good for children to be in prison.... Not sure how anyone could think it was good for children to be raised by strangers - and odds are they are going to be raised by Filipina's - not trained childcare experts. Well Guinness you can not understand because 1) you have never been in such a situation as a child or 2) are a loving mother who is not in prison. But the reality is that many children world wide are raised by strangers as you so put it and do perfectly well, of course it's not ideal but sometimes the alternative is not so nice either. As for your comment re Filipinos raising them who are not qualified, most expats seem to think it is fine for unqualified Filipinos to look after their children, so i don't see the difference. You do not need a qualification to raise a child, you need love and kindness. It has been identified that prison life is having a detrimental effect on children born behind bars, any organization that tries in even the smallest way to implement something that addresses this should be supported and congratulated . Why not investigate the matter further and see how children live in prison and what their mothers would like for them. It must be remembered that not all parents are the best people to raise their children, being a DNA provider does not automatically mean you are a good parent, sometimes strangers are the better parents. <em>edited by Lolacat on 03/09/2014</em>

Actually i think this is a very forward thinking plan and the authorities should be congratulated on trying to do something in what is an extremely difficult situation. They are right, prison is no place for children to grow up so they are trying to find a solution. There are many countries in the world (not here) where children are removed completely from their mothers or alternatively live in the most horrendous conditions experiencing a brutal prison life. This way the children can at least have some sense of a child hood and normality. The issue is not an easy one to solve anywhere in the world so any country that is investing and trying to address an issue is to congratulated. edited by Lolacat on 03/09/2014 <em>edited by Lolacat on 03/09/2014</em>
