This little booklet should be a valuable addition to the literary material aimed at 9 to 11-year-old children still in their formative years.In the present culture of materialism where the allure of affluence and ease has so dulled and tainted the "sensitivities" of individuals to intolerance, hatred, and prejudice, it becomes more important for parents and teachers alike to instil in their children those core character-building values of decency, integrity, and truth that are such essential elements of a stable and healthy society.Using simple language, the author has so cleverly incorporated such anecdotes into her narrative that are likely to influence young and receptive readers in subtle and positive ways.

The metabolic syndrome is a major and escalating public-health and clinical challenge worldwide in the wake of urbanization, surplus energy intake, increasing obesity, and sedentary life habits. Insulin resistance, neurohormonal activation, and chronic inflammation are the main players in the initiation, progression, and transition of metabolic syndrome to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of both atherosclerotic and nonatherosclerotic CVD, and confers a 5-fold increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 2-fold the risk of developing (CVD) over the next 5 to 10 years. A new human plasma vitamin E-binding protein afamin was reported to be highly significantly associated with criteria for metabolic syndrome in three independent human general populations. So we will focus on the role of afamin; a vitamin E binding glycoprotein as a novel marker for metabolic syndrome and related diseases
