After living in Macedonia for 18 years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for the most of her life.

Teresa was admired by many for her charitable work. She received mixed feedback for her opposition to abortion, and was criticised for the poor condition of her houses for the needy. She was canonised on September 4, 2016, and her death anniversar­y (September 5) is celebrated as feast day. DEVINA SETHIA Things aren’t always what they appear to be and even the best laid plans may be unlikely to succeed. Time brings clarity and your plans may need another look to save time and energy. Your current situation may cost you something important. The key to avoiding loss is to be alert and aware of the results of your actions. The best career involves following your passions. Become the very best – most passionate in your field. Then, you’ll be financiall­y rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Listen to your heart about your life’s purpose. Allow your gifts to surface and shine forth. You have dazzling talent. Unleash it and great abundance will come. Congratula­tions. You did it. You made it through the challenges and you mastered the lessons life offered you with grace and courage. Now, the possibilit­ies before you are endless. You can start back at the beginning again or create something totally new. Nothing can stop you. Positive changes are coming. The challengin­g times will fade as you prepare to set sail for sunnier horizons. Leave behind troubled times and plot a course for the future. Allow your frustratio­n to disappear. Travel is in the near future, the journey may be metaphoric­al. Opportunit­ies to relocate should be seen favourably. Sadness is a part of life. Don’t go through the healing process alone. Let others who have experience­d what you’re going through offer wisdom. You may need a little time to be sad but make sure you begin to work your way through emotions. You’ll heal from this loss and you’ll be stronger than you have ever been before. It’s time to go after your dreams. Do something to expand your horizons. Let creativity take flight. Trust your own abilities. Your optimism and enthusiasm will boost your creativity and energy. You will be able to show grace under stressful situations. Your determinat­ion to succeed will ensure success. Maintain balance. Everything will be perfect. Projects will be a stunning success and exciting new career opportunit­ies are possible. You may have the chance to work for an outstandin­g person or company; alternativ­ely it might also mean it’s time to retire. Use resources that come your way by investing or saving. Make sure you stand up for the right. Negative thinking will not get you positive results. There will be immense stress due to more than one job or task. Have fun while working to reduce this stress. Try to find ways to infuse a little bit of that into whatever task you are focussed on. Lighten up. If possible, try to find balance between profession­al and personal life. by injection may help.

If your bird’s foot is clenched, the veterinari­an may suggest exercising the foot by gently stretching it open to its normal shape, then moving the legs around as though it was bicycling. This may help the

limb to restore the blood flow and get the

leg moving again. There is no known ‘paralysis’ cure, it is a matter of excluding other causes and then making a treatment to suit the remaining facts. For some birds that are totally paralysed, you have to consider the quality of life and make the decision, it may or may not be kinder to put the bird to sleep. If it is an aggressive disease, supportive care is the only solution.

Some birds can recover fully in a few days or weeks. Your bird may remain with a clenched foot due to the paralysis, and it can live a relatively normal life. Birds tend to accept things and get on with life, and to date, there are no relevant studies on how long a bird with a clenched foot will live.
