Thermometers and Babies
Remember that a thermometer reading that is taken under the arm is 0.6 degrees C lower than body temperature. So if you have been advised to call the GP when the babies temperature is greater than 39 degrees C you would only be looking for an external reading of 38.4 or greater.

Jaundice in the New-born Baby
Do not be alarmed if the whites of your baby's eyes and their skin turns a slight yellow colour after 3 days. This is a condition called jaundice and is caused because your baby's liver cannot work fast enough to dispose of a pigment called bilirubin. Premature babies are more likely to suffer from jaundice.
It usually clears up after a few days and this can be aided by exposure to sunlight (through a window).You may also be encouraged to feed your baby as often as possible. Sometimes when the bilirubin levels are very high a baby may need to be exposed to controlled amounts of ultra violet light in the form of phototherapy. Ultra violet breaks down the pigment levels in the skin. This will be carried out in hospital. Your baby will be placed in a special crib sometimes in Special Care. This is a routine treatment and is very effective.

Backing Up Your Email Account Info in
OUTLOOK EXPRESS

Last time we talked about the best way to back up your Address Book.  This month, let's take a look at backing up your email account information.
This is especially handy if you have more than one account set up within OE.
With Outlook Express open, go to Tools/Accounts and then click on the Mail tab at the top of the window (in most cases, this will already be selected). 
Click on one of your accounts to highlight it and then click on the Export button on the right side. This will open up the "Export Internet Settings" box which works just like a normal "Save As" box.
I highly recommend that you create a new folder to hold these account settings files (I called mine "OE Email Accounts" to make it easy to remember what's in there). 
Once you make the folder (or decide on what existing folder you want to use for this) and then enter it by double clicking on the folder's name, click on the "Save" button to create a file that contains that account's info. This will also take you right back to the main window where you can repeat the process for each of your email accounts.

Financial matters and poor matriculation results of the institution were the main issues discussed in the meeting. Dr. Nazir Khan gave the details of income and expenditure of the school. Dr. Shahid Nawaz in his address said “ The resentment of parents on poor matriculation results is justified and we have set up a committee to investigate the matter.” He further added that lack of coordination between teachers and parents, mild interest of students towards the studies and delayed supply of text books are some of the reasons for this poor performance. The chairman said that every effort would be made to rectify the mistakes of the past. He mentioned that a new building has been taken on rent to avoid double shifts in the school.

KAGHAN

Pakistan is a beautiful country and there are no two opinions in it. There are 4 provinces in Pakistan namely Sindh, Punjab, Baluchistan and North West Frontier Province. Pakistan is the most beautiful country in the world, situated in South Asia. Its landscape is so attractive and enchanting, that no one can escape from admiring her beauty. Pakistan has different landscapes - snow-capped mountains, lush green valleys, singing streams, mighty rivers, hot deserts, green fields, sandy coastline, etc, you will find everything in Pakistan that you wish. There are numerous places where one can spend holidays peacefully.
A holiday in the Kaghan Valley, the Himalayan hide-away, north-east of the Hazara district of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, is an unforgettable experience.
Its mountains, dales, lakes, water-falls, streams and glaciers are still in unbelievable pristine state, and unspoiled paradise. That is why it can be such a deeply satisfying experience to spend a few days in Kaghan. The Valley extends for 155 kms. Rising from an elevation of 2,134 meters to its highest point, the Babusar Pass, at 4,173 meters. Kaghan is at its best in the summer months (May to September). In May the temperature is: maximum 11 C and the minimum 3 C. From the middle of July up to the end of September, the road beyond Naran, snow-bound throughout the winter, is open right up to Babusar Pass. Movement is restricted during the monsoon season also.
The Kaghan Valley is accessible by road from Rawalpindi/Islamabad and Peshawar. You can drive in your own or a rented car, taxi, station-wagon or bus to Abbottabad which is 122 kms. from Rawalpindi and 217 kms. from Peshawar. Abbottabad is a charming town spread out over several low, refreshingly green hills.
Balakot is the gateway to the Kaghan Valley. Balakot has the shrines of Syed Ahmed Shaheed and Ismail Shaheed Brelvi, the South Asia great freedom fighters.
Shogran About 24 kilometres away from Balakot on Balakot-Kaghan Road is Kaiwai from where one can go up on right side of the road to Shogran. Shogran is 8 kilometer from Kaiwai and a pleasant place at an elevation of 7750 feet above sea level. It is a small meadow where one can stay for a night.
Sharan is 12 kilometer away from Paras which is situated on Balakot-Kanghan Road about 28 kilometers up to Balakot. Paras is only 4 kilometer away from Kaiwai—the base camp of  Sharan come left across the river Kunar from Paras bazaar. It is about 9200 feet above sea level and a thick forest of pine welcomes tourist. This land is still virgin and there is only two rest houses not a single hotel.
Naran, 23 kms. From Kaghan you reach the half-way point. Naran also serves as the base for the whole valley. From here you can ride a jeep or horse or hike in excursions to several picturesque lakes, valleys and peaks.
Lalazar This is situated 9 miles (12KM) from Naran towards Babusar pass. It can be considered the best meadow of North after Fairy Meadows.
Lake Saiful Muluk has a touch of the unreal about it, nestling 3,200 meters high in the shadow of the Malika Parbat (Queen of the mountains) 5,291 meters high. You can go boating on the lake and hear the local legend about Prince Saiful Muluk who fell in love with a fairy. Further up are quaint woodland villages; Battakundi, Burawai, Besal Gittidas and Lalazar.
Babusar Pass The Kaghan Valley is blocked at the end by high mountains but a pass lets the jeep-able road snake over into the Chilas Valley. This is the 4,173 meters high Babusar Pass which commands the whole Kaghan panorama as well as gives on a clear day, glimpses of the Nanga Parbat (The Naked Mountain) glistening at 8, 126 meters.
Angling Fishing is the chief sport in Kaghan. Brown Trout and Mahasher are stocked in the pure silvery waters of Kunhur River between Kaghan and Naran. The Kunhar river trout is considered the best in the South Asia. Fishing licenses are issued by either the Fisheries Department at Naran or the Trout Hatchery at Shinu.
Speciality Kaghan is noted for its artistically-carved walnut handicrafts, embroidered shawls, shirts, woolen blankets and "namdas" (woolen felt rugs).

The question for our previous issue was:-
What day is the longest day of the year 2002?
The asnwer is (B) June 22, 2002
The seasons of the year are caused by the 23.5º tilt of the earth's axis. Because the earth is rotating like a top or gyroscope, the North Pole points in a fixed direction continuously -- towards a point in space near the North Star. But the earth is also revolving around the sun. During half of the year, the southern hemisphere is more exposed to the sun than is the northern hemisphere. During the rest of the year, the reverse is true. At noontime in the Northern Hemisphere the sun appears high in the sky during summertime, and low during winter. The time of the year when the sun reaches its maximum elevation occurs on the summer solstice -- the day with the greatest number of daylight hours. It typically occurs on, or within a day or two of, JUN-21 -- the first day of summer, this year it was 22nd of June. The lowest elevation occurs about DEC-21 and is the winter solstice -- the first day of winter, when the night time hours reach their maximum.
