WHO'S DRINKING WATER DURING AND RIGHT AWAY AFTER MEALS?

This is a must read!!!

Water, before meal is Gold,
Water, during meal is Silver, and,
Water, after meal is Iron.

Glugging water during meals severely hampers your stomach's digestive powers and causes insulin levels to fluctuate significantly.

To know if you're drinking enough water, it is often said, just check if you are feeling thirsty. If you aren't, your fluid intake is likely to be just about right. But downing glasses of water along with your meals may not be the best time to quench your thirst.

Why you should not drink water during your meal. "Most people have water along with their meals. The usual theory is washing down the food while eating. People have no idea how wrong this practice is and how difficult this can be for their digestion. For those suffering with digestion problems, the ramifications are manifold. Our stomachs have a knack of knowing when you will eat and starts releasing digestive juices immediately. If you start drinking water at the same time, what you are actually doing is diluting the digestive juices being released to digest your food, thereby hindering them from breaking down food."

Research shows that sipping a little water during meals isn't a cause for concern but drinking a glass or two may interfere with digestion. Elaborating on what exactly happens inside you when you glug water during meals, it gets absorbed by the intestinal walls of the stomach. "This absorption continues till it becomes concentrated enough for the digestive juices to begin digesting your food. However, due to it getting mixed with water, this concentrated substance is now thicker than the food contents present in your stomach. So less gastric juice will be secreted to digest your food. The result is, undigested food leaks into your system as it gets absorbed through the stomach walls. This will also lead to acid reflux and heart burn. " Drinking water with meals can also cause a surge in your insulin levels, almost like the way high glycemic food would affect you,  "The more insulin is released in to your blood stream, the higher the chances of you storing fat in your body."

To avoid watering down your meals, "Make sure your food is not too salty as that would aggravate your thirst and trigger your need to down more water. Besides, eating in a hurry will cause you to gulp your food down. Most likely, you would feel the need to wash it down with water while you are at it. Instead, chew, chew and then chew some more. We secrete a lot of digestive juices (enzymes) while chewing, which makes our stomach's job easier."

Some health expert says that drinking water right after a meal would put on body weight.

Other says your supposed to only drink when your body is not digesting. Drinking water especially in large amount during and after a meal dilutes your stomach acids and would cause you   indigestion.

It’s a scientific fact that drinking water before meal is good for health, whereas during meal, water drinking should be avoided. After having meal, water drinking puts a burden on stomach.

However, if there is a pressing need to drink immediately after that, then only drink enough to quench the thirst. One may then drink after some time elapses. This elapsed time is estimated to be 20-30 minutes.
The question arises that what type of serious disease it may cause ?
Drinking cold water or water after meal = Cancer
For those who like to drink cold water. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this “sludge” reacted with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.

THE RIGHT WAY TO DRINK WATER

As some doctors, nutritionists agree to the fact that drinking water after or immediately after meal may cause to cancer or some abdominal or stomach problems arises or drinking water immediately after meal making harder to digest food.

Drinking water before a meal can help you lose weight because it fills you up. Drinking water after you have eaten fatty foods may cause some problems and may produce weight gain. Drink water before your meals to limit the amount of fatty foods and other foods you eat. Drinking two glasses of water before you eat can fill you up. This will help you to be less hungry and eat less. Stay away from drinking cold water after meals that include high-fat foods.

Please Keep In Mind
Drinking water is beneficial and necessary for our health and requirement of our body but it may be worse if you don’t drink on right time .As some said “Time decided each and everything”, so you should follow the time and right instructions to drink water “DON’T DRINK WATER IMMEDIATELY AFTER MEAL IT MAY CAUSE CANCER”.

BULLY PROOF CHILD

Bullying begins in preschool and gains momentum as kids grow. Depending on which survey you read, between 40 and 80 percent of middle schoolers admit to bullying behavior. Not only is Bullying pervasive, it has become increasingly dangerous, so that children are committing suicide or being beaten to death by their bulliers. 

That's the bad news.  The good news is that bullying is preventable, and you can bully-proof your child -- and keep him from becoming a bully.  

1. Model compassionate, respectful relationships from the time your child is small.  The most effective way to keep children from being bullied, and from becoming bullies, is to make sure they grow up in loving relationships, rather than relationships that use power or force to control them. Children learn both sides of every relationship, and they can act either one.  If you spank, your child will learn that physical violence is the way to respond to interpersonal problems.  If your discipline methods use power over your child, he will learn to use power over others, or to let others use power over him.  Don't worry, you don't need that kind of discipline. 

2. Stay connected to your child through thick and thin.  Lonely kids are more likely to be bullied. Remember, parenting is 90% connection -- a close relationship with your child -- and only 10% guidance.  The guidance won't stick unless you have the relationship to support it, and will just drive your child away.  Keep those lines of communication open, no matter what.

3. Model confident behavior with other people.  If you tend to back down easily so you don't make a scene, but then later feel pushed-around, it's time to change that. Your child is learning from watching you. Experiment with finding ways to assert your own needs or rights while maintaining respect for the other person.  It's also important not to put yourself or your child down, because you're teaching her to follow in your footsteps.

4. Directly teach your child respectful self-assertion.  Kids need to know they can get their needs met while being respectful of other people. Give him words to stick up for himself early on: 

"It's my turn now." 

"I want a turn now."

"Hey, stop that."

"Hands off my body."

"It's not okay to hurt."

"I don't like being called that. I want you to call me by my name."

            5. Teach your child basic social skills.  Kids who are outsiders are more likely to be bullied.  Bullies prey on children whom they perceive to be vulnerable, including needy children who are so desperate for peer acceptance that they continue to hang around a group of peers even when one of the group leaders begins to mistreat them.  Role plays with your child how to join a game at the playground, introduce themselves to another child at a party, or initiate a playdate. Kids who are successful in joining groups of kids usually observe first, and find a way to fit into the group, rather than just barging in.  Make games out of social skills, and practice at home. 

6. Teach your child basic bully avoidance.  Bullies operate where adults aren't present, so your child should avoid unsupervised hallways, bathrooms, and areas of the playground.  Sitting in the front of the school bus, standing in the front of the line, and sitting at a lunch table near the cafeteria chaperones are all good strategies for bully avoidance.

7. Teach your child that there is no shame in being frightened by a bully, in walking away, or in telling an adult and asking for help. Bullying situations can escalate, and saving face is less important than saving their life. 

8. Teach kids to intervene to prevent bullying when they see it. Bullying expert Michele Borba says that when bystanders -- kids who are nearby -- intervene correctly, studies find they can cut bullying more than half the time and within 10 seconds.  

The best interventions:

Partner with the victim and remove her from danger - Go stand with the victim physically, turn the victim away from the bully and walk her off in the other direction -- towards adult help.  Say "You look upset" or "I've been looking for you" or "The teacher sent me to find you."

Get help - Bullies love an audience.  Get the other kids on your side by waving them over to you, yelling, "We need your help."   Confront the bully:  "You're being mean."  Then walk away: "C'mon, let's go!" 

And of course, if you're at all worried about safety, dial 911 or shout for a teacher.

9. Coach your child to handle teasing and bullying by role playing.   Research shows that bullies begin with verbal harassment.  How the "victim" responds to the first verbal aggression determines whether the bully continues to target this particular child.  If the aggression gives the bully what he's looking for -- a feeling of power from successfully pushing the other child's buttons -- the aggression will generally escalate.  It's imperative to discuss this issue with your child before he is subject to bullying, so he can stand up for himself successfully when a bully first "tests" him.

Role play with your child how he can stand up to a bully. Point out to your child that the bully wants to provoke a response that makes him feel powerful, so showing emotion and fighting back are exactly what the bully feeds off.  Explain that while he can't control the bully, he can always control his own response. So in every interaction, how he responds will either inflame the situation or defuse it. Your child needs to avoid getting "hooked" no matter how mad the bully makes him. 

The best strategy is always to maintain one's own dignity, and to let the "bully" maintain his dignity, in other words, not to attack or demean the other person. To do this, simply say:

"You know, I’m just going to ignore that comment."

"I think I have something else to do right now." 

"No thank you."

Then, just walk away.

Teach your child to count to ten to stay calm, look the bully in the eye, and say one of these things. Practice until your child has a strong, self-assured tone.   

10. Don't hesitate to intervene. Your job as the parent is to protect your child. That means that in addition to teaching your child to stick up for herself, you may well need to call the teacher or principal. Don't give your child the message that she's all alone to handle this. And don't assume that if there isn't physical violence, she isn't being wounded in a deep way. Despite the old rhyme about words not hurting, mean words and isolation are terribly damaging to our psyches, and cause lasting negative effects.  If the school cannot protect your child, consider transferring to a different school, or even homeschooling.

Here are six of the most successful strategies to help kids defend themselves:

• Assert yourself. Teach your child to face the bully by standing tall and using a strong voice. Your child should name the bullying behavior and tell the aggressor to stop: “That’s teasing. Stop it.” or “Stop making fun of me. It’s mean.”

• Question the response. Ann Bishop, who teaches violence prevention, tells her students to respond to an insult with a non-defensive question: “Why would you say that?” or “Why would you want to tell me I am dumb (or fat) and hurt my feelings?”

• Use “I want.”  Communication experts suggest teaching your child to address the bully beginning with “I want” and say firmly what he wants changed: “I want you to leave me alone.” or “I want you to stop teasing me.”

• Agree with the teaser. Consider helping your child create a statement agreeing with her teaser. Teaser: “You’re dumb.” Child: “Yeah, but I’m good at it.” or Teaser: “Hey, four eyes.” Child: “You’re right, my eyesight is poor.”

• Ignore it.  Bullies love it when their teasing upsets their victims, so help your child find a way to not let his tormentor get to him. Fifth graders offer these kid-tested ways to ignore teasers: “Pretend they’re invisible,” “Walk away without looking at them,” “Quickly look at something else and laugh,” and “Look completely uninterested.”

• Make Fun of the Teasing. Fred Frankel, author of Good Friends Are Hard to Find suggests victims answer every tease with a reply, but not tease back. The teasing often stops, Frankel says; because the child lets the tormentor know he’s not going to let the teasing get to him (even if it does). Suppose the teaser says, “You’re stupid.” The child says a rehearsed comeback such as: “Really?” Other comebacks could be: “So?,” “You don’t say,” “And your point is?,” or “Thanks for telling me.”..................Dr. Laura Markham

TERRORIST'S CORRUPTED BELIEFS

Are terrorists rational actors who find themselves forced to use desperate measures in response to extreme provocations? Or are they driven by demons of the mind? Are the evils they so righteously denounce carefully selected to externalize feelings buried within their own psyches? Experts disagree. Psychologist Martha Crenshaw defends the rationality of the terrorist. She argues that terrorism "displays a collective rationality" and that "efficacy is the primary standard by which terrorism is compared with other methods of achieving political goals." In reply, psychiatrist Jerrold Post insists that "political terrorists are driven to commit acts of violence as a consequence of psychological forces, and that their special psycho-logic is constructed to rationalize acts they are psychologically compelled to commit."- Ted Goertzel

“I abducted them, and I will sell them in the market according to God’s sharia,” Abubakar Shekau, leader of Boko Haram, said in a video after his group kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria. The demands Boko Haram seek to fulfill after it killed civilians and abducted the girls and threatened to sell them is to establish an Islamic emirate!

It’s enough to use the words “God’s sharia” and “Islam” to divide Muslims. There are reasonable people who consider what’s beyond these terms and there are the blind ones who believe whatever these groups say as long as they use the terms “Islam” and “God’s sharia.” The latter group thus remain confused as they seek justifications for the acts of such terror organizations.

The common people whose minds have been hijacked by some extremist preachers and clerics are incapable of thinking on their own. They are dragged behind these preachers and defend them seeking justifications which reassure them, even if these justifications violate Islam and human values. Boko Haram claims it’s an Islamic group and has abducted schoolgirls and threatened to sell them claiming it will do so as per God’s sharia. So, how do common people justify these acts?

It’s perhaps easy to condemn these groups which are geographically distant from us. The situation becomes more confusing when we are close to the event. The Saudi state news agency recently announced that Saudi authorities arrested a terrorist group linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and al-Qaeda. The group had reportedly been arming itself and planning explosions.

Defending their actions

Perhaps someone would defend them saying “it’s a group that lost its way.” In other words, the group’s intellect is not bad but their expression of it has been exaggerated. It’s thus okay to think that those around you are infidels, that their women are slaves, that the bank deserves to be robbed and that the state is an infidel. If you subscribe to such ideas, you would no doubt lose your way!

Those who support violence, sectarianism and social division are not loyal to a country as their only concern is to swear the oath of allegiance to an Islamic emirate like Boko Haram and the ISIS.

The problem is not how these groups ended up like this but rather with how these groups became as such. Those who are armed in our country or those who kidnapped schoolgirls in Nigeria did so due to misconceptions about Islam. These misconceptions circulated under the cover of pure Islam and of returning to the concepts of Islam’s golden era - not the concepts based on commendable values but those related to political conditions and war among infidels’ countries and Islam back then. When you’re armed with statements telling you that you’re absolutely right, then you must win this right even if you have to resort to force. And when you have weapons, you must translate your right via murder and abduction. You do all this reassured that this is God’s sharia.

Where were we when these youths were being deceived? Where were we when leader of the Hashashin (Assassins) group drugged young men and then have them wake up among women to make them think they spend a night in paradise? These young men were deceived and would wake up the next morning and assassinate a deputy or a governor because he antagonized the leader of the group.

Not mercenaries

These are not mercenaries. They unfortunately have a solid doctrine.

What’s more dangerous than taking up arms is extremist rhetoric. Proof to that is that any attempt to put an end to such rhetoric is met by resistance or anger because some consider that whoever criticizes these groups is an enemy of Islam. It’s as if Muslims don’t commit mistakes!

How can we separate Islam as a tolerant, ethical and moral religion from Muslims who misinterpreted it and from those who think the more extremist they are, the more right they are?

Is it difficult to say that Boko Haram and the ISIS-linked terrorist group exposed in our country have nothing to do with Islam? Is it difficult for some people to understand that religion is not properly practiced by these people who pull out their arms and abduct girls to sell them as slaves? Perhaps it’s difficult to explain this to some people from our generation who already made up their minds. But when it comes to today’s and tomorrow’s generations, Boko Haram and the ISIS will be seen as no more than new forms of Hashashin.--Badria al-Bishr

CHILD ABUSE

It seems that child sexual abuse is a new topic but I can assure you from personal experience it is not. Luckily I was not a victim of sexual abuse as a young child. However, I lived in a very poor community and was aware of children abusing one another and people who were older abusing them. In many cases it is a case of experimentation but in many other cases it is an overt sexual attack, for example an older brother on a younger sister.

These are situations where a child has no protection from sexual abuse. If you think in terms of it being an uncle or father or even a mother the circumstances become even more difficult. That is what makes it so hard to explain sexual abuse to a child; the fact that it could be someone the child has trusted and not the serial killer we are all fearful of and on the lookout for, but rather the brother or the cousin that performs an act that scars the child.

How do we let our children know about the potential dangers of sexual abuse?

First of all we must understand we cannot protect them 100 percent of the time, they are vulnerable. Further, there is no child of any race or socio-economic situation that is safe. However most people would agree I think that there would be a direct relationship to there being a history of sexual abuse in the family as an increased risk.

We must let our children know what sexual abuse is without giving them too much information; that is the hard part. One way to approach the situation is letting them know about "good and bad touches." Also, it is important that we make ourselves comfortable with the subject of sexual abuse so our children are comfortable coming to us; when we are comfortable with the subject of sexual abuse that alone takes a little fear out of the subject. It is our job, when we can, to see they are supervised "visually from a distance."

There are books and other materials about sexual abuse we can use to help teach them. Further the internet provides plenty of helpful information. It comes back to staying away from strangers on the outside and being aware of people inside the family. If I were to say what I think is the biggest threat to children regarding sexual abuse, from my personal experience, I think the biggest threat comes of sexual abuse from someone in the family. As I said previously it is not always an overt sexual act rather experimentation but it leaves the same scars.

Children must be armed with the knowledge of what is a good act and a bad act and we must leave the line of communication open so they can come to us at any time.

They only have one childhood.

CHILD MARRIAGE ISSUE

LAHORE, Pakistan (RNS) When police raided a marriage ceremony in Karachi on Wednesday (May 14) and found a 46-year-old groom about to marry his 14-year-old bride, the wedding didn’t come as a shock to most here in this conservative Muslim country — the raid did.

The bride told police her marriage had been consensual, police officials said. Her age was listed as 18 on the marriage certificate.

Marrying off girls as young as 10 is still a widespread practice in Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere in Asia and Africa, despite the prohibition of child marriage in some existing national and provincial laws. Between 2000 and 2010, about 24.4 million women between the ages of 20 and 24 were married before the age of 18, according to a report by the United Nations Population Fund.

Now some lawmakers in Pakistan are hoping to end the practice by introducing harsher punishments for clerics, guardians and spouses involved in arranging child marriages across the country. The province of Sindh, whose capital is Karachi, outlawed the practice in late April — hence the raid.

The Child Marriage Restraint Bill 2014 introduced in the National Assembly in March proposes amending a 1929 law by making involvement in a child marriage a recognizable offense and creating stricter punishments, including two-year prison sentences or fines of up to $1,000.

It’s been a long time coming, say supporters.

“It’s time that we stand up for our women,” said Marvi Memon, a lawmaker and a sponsor of the bill. “I have seen child rights violated in my constituency and around the country — in every single province.”

Still, Memon and other bill supporters are facing stiff resistance from opponents to the bill, such as the Council of Islamic Ideology, a body charged with advising the government on Islamic law.

In March, the council ruled that laws related to the minimum age of marriage were against the teachings of the Quran and that children of any age could get married if they had reached puberty. They argue that the Prophet Muhammad took underage wives.

“Parliament should not legislate laws which are against the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah,” said Maulana Muhammad Khan Shirani, the council’s chairman, referring to the Muslim holy book and oral traditions of the Prophet Muhammad.

But advocates of the law say it is necessary to set age limits because poorer families can’t support all their children; in Muslim culture, the bride joins the groom’s family and the husband becomes responsible for her.

“Persistent constraints and deprivations that prevent many of the world’s women from achieving their potential have huge consequences for individuals, families, communities and nations,” said Omer Aftab, chief executive officer of the Women’s Empowerment Group, an independent organization in Lahore.

“Child marriage remains pervasive in developing economies like ours, with one in three girls wedded before 18 and one in nine before 15,” he added.

The United Nations Human Rights Council estimates that more than 140 million girls will be married before their 18th birthdays over the next decade and that almost 50 percent of these child brides are in South Asia. Child marriage can have devastating consequences for these women.

“Research gives us reason to believe that early marriage comes with a 41 percent increased risk of mental disorder,” said Aftab. “It is a major psychological trauma and should be considered as no less.”

LABOR REFORMS ANNOUNCED; DOHA, QATAR

After the long awaited excitement and curiosity of ex-pats directing all their attentions on issues concerning the press release of the latest Labor Reform of 2014, Qatar’s government has proposed making it easier for expats to leave the country and change jobs, but has stopped short of abolishing a system of exit visas and no-objection certificates for its foreign workforce.

Officials from the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs held a highly anticipated press conference this afternoon to release what it billed as “wide-ranging labour market reforms.”

“We want to provide more protection to the expat community and (all) workers in this country, to provide them with more protection and safeguard their rights,” said Salih Saeed Al-Sahwi, MOLSA’s manager of labor relations, according to the official translation.

Actual changes, however, appear to be some time away. Today’s announcement represents the “first step” in changing Qatar’s labor laws, as proposals supported by the executive branch of government must still be circulated to the country’s Chamber of Commerce and approved by the Advisory (Shura) Council.

Proposed changes

The current exit permit system largely requires foreign workers to get their employer’s consent to leave the country. Officials today proposed shifting this process to an automated system run by the Ministry of Interior.

Expats would apply for a permit at least 72 hours prior to departure. It would then be up to their employer to argue why the individual should not be allowed to leave the country, such as criminal or financial wrongdoing. Any objections would then be reviewed by a special committee.

Travel applications for emergencies would be flagged and dealt with separately, an official told Doha News.

Some employers in Qatar have previously argued that the exit permit system is needed to prevent foreign workers from fleeing the country after taking out loans that the sponsor is liable to cover.

The government appears to have undermined that argument by proposing that employers no longer be financially responsible for their employees. Instead, financial obligations incurred by foreign workers will be governed by the country’s civil and commercial laws.

Changing jobs

Currently, expats require a no-objection certificate from their employers before they can change sponsors and take up a new job in Qatar. Alternatively, they can leave the country for two years before taking up a new position.

Under the government’s new proposals, employees who sign a fixed-term contract would be free to transfer to a new employer at the end of their contract.

However, those who sign an indefinite contract would have to work for their employer for five years before being allowed to change positions.

If foreign workers want to change jobs earlier, they would still need the permission of their employer.

Other key points of the reform package include:

·         Increasing the penalty for confiscating a worker’s travel documents from a maximum of QR10,000 to up to QR50,000 per passport;

·         Distributing a “model contract” that employers must follow in principle when drafting employment agreements;

·         Requiring wages to be paid electronically to ensure wages are deposited into a worker’s bank account on time;

·         Enforcing a new accommodation standard for workers’ housing. No details of those standards were provided; and

·         Formulating harsher penalties for labor law violations, such as late payment of wages and violations of the new accommodations standards.

Killing ‘kafala’

Officials at Wednesday’s press conference repeatedly said that the current kafala sponsorship system would be eliminated, starting by changing the name of the law to one governing the “entry, residence and exit of expatriate workers.”

While the the practical implications are unclear, it appears the intent is to give more weight to the contract between employers and employees alongside more state oversight and regulation.

Officials said the changes would cover all foreign employees in Qatar when asked if the proposals included domestic workers, who are not currently covered by the country’s labor laws.

A suggestion that a minimum wage might be included was rejected by Al-Sahwi, who said salaries would be based on the forces of supply and demand.

However, in response to another question, Ali Ahmad Al-Khulaifi – the planning and quality department director at the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs – opened the door to ending the prohibition on workers joining trade unions.

“We believe in the right of workers to have trade unions and their own associations,” he said in Arabic.

However, he hedged his comments by noting that the labor market in Qatar – which is overwhelmingly made up of foreigners – is different from other countries, meaning any such changes regarding trade unions required further study and consultations.

We'll keep you posted with additional updates and announcements. The Ministries are planning regular announcements on these reforms and how and when they will be implemented. They will be working closely with local and international companies to provide support during this transition period.

JOBS NOT ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR DRIVING LICENSE IN QATAR

The number of residents enrolling in driving schools in Qatar has increased in the past three weeks after the Traffic Department issued a list of non-eligible applicants on August 1 last year, Gulf Times has learnt.

An employee of a driving school said many expatriates had been allowed to take the course despite the ban on 162 specific categories of workers, including laborer, butcher, hotel service worker, welders, cook, gardener, shoemaker, security guard and other low-income jobs.

Some schools have contacted and urged applicants who were rejected before to re-apply again.

Since the new list was printed in Arabic and some terminologies have remained “vague”, the employee admitted that they would normally advice applicants to seek the approval of the Traffic Department first.

“We ask for the applicants’ Qatar IDs and if the profession given in them does not match the one on the list, then we tell them that they are eligible. But if we are not clear, we tell them to go to the Traffic Department to make further enquiries,” he said.

The source also disclosed that housewives sponsored by their husbands were eligible to secure driving licenses; so were  cabin crews, journalists and students aged 18 years and above (under the parents’ sponsorship).  

Some categories like photographers, electricians, technicians and cooks are ineligible. “But it would all depend on the approval of the Traffic Department,” the driving school employee added.

An “unofficial list” of categories was released in May and some professionals were banned from applying for driving license.

The source said some terminologies used were “too broad” like “laborer”, “steward” and “sales”. It reportedly confused driving schools and their clients, causing significant revenue drop for one month at least.

“But the latest list has helped us in identifying categories that are not entitled to have the driving license,” he said.

Laborers still constitute one third of the total number of clients of driving schools. Out of 30 applicants, about 10 fall under the laborer category.

With the new list, flight attendants come under the category of eligible applicants as well as household service workers who are under Qatari sponsorship.

List of professions not eligible to apply for driving license

The following is the unofficial translation of the full list of professions not eligible to apply for the Qatari driving license, as announced by the Traffic Department:

Gypsum worker,  technical assistant, service worker, watchman, horse trainer, laborer, sailor, servant, nanny, farmer, blacksmith, bakery worker, painter, herdsman, fisherman, tailor, calligraphy technician, shoemaker, grocery worker, tiles worker, builder, butcher, service worker, nutrition worker, industrial service worker.
