story by Amirah images by Sumantri

Vanuatu 6 August 2009,
For almost 4 years we have been hoping and praying for a baby. Finally this day come. Over a month I haven’t get my regular menstrual, my husband suspect that I might be pregnant. Well, we thrill but yet to confirm. Not until I was o1 to 2 months, then I bought myself the pregnancy test hoping for good news. Finally it’s really positive! I was pregnant. Well still with little doubt. We decided to go to central hospital after a week later. I was send to see a doctor, she’s from cuba, speaks only Spanish, we lost in translation!! She can’t speak a word of English and so do I can’t understand what she’s talking in Spanish mix bislama ( local language ). She ordered me to do the ultra sound scan and urine test. So I did. I was amazed when I did the ultra sound, it was unbelievable to see the foetus with heartbeat and the shape was forming, im going to be mother soon, so as sumantri going to be papa soon..yeah.. I feel awesome!! Sumantri too over joy with the result and seeing the foetus. My urine test was positive too that I was pregnant. So finally, went back to the Spanish doctor for her final arrangement and consulting, when she get my weight recorded and look at my stomach, she said to me “ bikinini no fat, you fat” she said, baby not fat, but I am fat…..celaka…. anyway, she told me that 100% pregnant , now 9-10 weeks pregnant, will conceive next year maybe 8 or 10 March 2010. What a relief! Finally our dreams come true. I strongly believed our prayers have been heard. Believe it will happen and it will.

Senses are the physiological methods of perception. A broadly acceptable definition of a sense would be "a system that consists of a group of sensory cell types that responds to a specific physical phenomenon, and that corresponds to a particular group of regions within the brain where the signals are received and interpreted." Disputes about the number of senses typically arise around the classification of the various cell types and their mapping to regions of the brain. The traditional five senses are sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste.Five sense play significant role in creating memorable experience for all guest.

About Five sense
Sight or vision is the ability of the brain and eye to detect electromagnetic waves within the visible range (light) interpreting the image as "sight." There is disagreement as to whether this constitutes one, two or three senses. Neuroanatomists generally regard it as two senses, given that different receptors are responsible for the perception of colour (the frequency of photons of light) and brightness (amplitude/intensity - number of photons of light). Some argue[citation needed] that stereopsis, the perception of depth, also constitutes a sense, but it is generally regarded as a cognitive (that is, post-sensory) function of brain to interpret sensory input and to derive new information. The inability to see is called blindness.

Hearing
Hearing or audition is the sense of sound perception. Since sound is vibrations propagating through a medium such as air, the detection of these vibrations, that is the sense of the hearing, is a mechanical sense akin to a sense of touch, albeit a very specialized one. In humans, this perception is executed by tiny hair fibres in the inner ear which detect the motion of a membrane which vibrates in response to changes in the pressure exerted by atmospheric particles within a range of 20 to 22000 Hertz, with substantial variation between individuals. Sound can also be detected as vibrations conducted through the body by tactition. Lower and higher frequencies than that can be heard are detected this way only. The inability to hear is called deafness.

Taste
Taste or gustation is one of the two main "chemical" senses. There are at least four types of tastes[4] that "buds" (receptors) on the tongue detect, and hence there are anatomists who argue that these constitute five or more different senses, given that each receptor conveys information to a slightly different region of the brain. The inability to taste is called ageusia.
The four well-known receptors detect sweet, salt, sour, and bitter, although the receptors for sweet and bitter have not been conclusively identified. A fifth receptor, for a sensation called umami, was first theorised in 1908 and its existence confirmed in 2000[5]. The umami receptor detects the amino acid glutamate, a flavour commonly found in meat and in artificial flavourings such as monosodium glutamate.
Note that taste is not the same as flavour; flavour includes the smell of a food as well as its taste.

Smell
Smell or olfaction is the other "chemical" sense. Unlike taste, there are hundreds of olfactory receptors, each binding to a particular molecular feature. Odour molecules possess a variety of features and thus excite specific receptors more or less strongly. This combination of excitatory signals from different receptors makes up what we perceive as the molecule's smell. In the brain, olfaction is processed by the olfactory system. Olfactory receptor neurons in the nose differ from most other neurons in that they die and regenerate on a regular basis. The inability to smell is called anosmia. Some neurons in the nose are specialized to detect pheromones.

Touch
Touch, also called mechanoreception or somatic sensation, is the sense of pressure perception, generally in the skin. There are a variety of nerve endings that respond to variations in pressure (e.g., firm, brushing, and sustained). The inability to feel anything or almost anything is called anesthesia. Paresthesia is a sensation of tingling, pricking, or numbness of a person's skin with

no apparent long term physical effect. Sources: Wikipedia
