Properly Apply Mascara

2011-11-14T09:38:00.001+05:00

Ace your mascara application with a 3-step:
Step 1:
Wiggle the wand left to right at the base of lashes. It's the mascara placed near the roots -- not the tips -- that gives the illusion of length.
Step 2:
Pull the wand up and through lashes, wiggling as you go. The wiggling part is key because it separates lashes.
Step 3:
In this final step , close the eye and place the mascara wand on top of lashes at the base and pull through to remove any clumps.

EYE MAKE UP

2011-11-14T09:30:00.003+05:00

Apply Eye Make Up In 5 Steps

1.Prep your eyes with concealer
To cover dark under-eye circles, apply three dots of concealer under each eye. Start at the inner corner where skin tends to be darkest, then under the pupil and the third on the outer edge.Never rub with your ring finger until it disappears.
2.Apply eye base to your Eye lid .
Without properly priming your lid first, your eyeshadow will likely end up a greasy line in your crease. Eye base is the secret to keeping your shadow in place for hours.
3.Follow with eyeliner Dark eyeshadow work great as eyeliners. Wet a slanted brush, then dip in a dark eyeshadow. Line eyes as close to the upper lashes as possible from the inner corner to the outer corner. Follow with liner on bottom eyes, but only line from the middle of the eye out. Smudge the bottom line with a Q-tip or your finger. You don't want a prominent line. For a smokey eye, use a brush to pat in a dark eyeshadow along the upper lid and below the lid.
4.Apply eyeshadow
Allowing them to blend into each other like a rainbow is gorgeous, tart with a light color that almost matches your lid. Sweep the color across the lid and up to your brow bone. Follow with a medium color across your lid only. Build on this with a darker color in the crease.
5.Apply mascara.
Place the wand of your mascara brush at the bottom of lashes and wiggle back and forth. Follow with another few sweeps of the wand. Apply to bottom lashes as well.

It's all in the Eyes

2011-08-18T14:54:00.002+05:00

Beauty Tip: It's all in the Eyes
To make your eyes look...
closer together. Most eyes look better when the emphasis is on the outer corner of the eye (or the 'v'). But emphasizing the inner corner will make eyes look closer together.Start by sweeping a light shadow over the whole eye area. Then dust a medium color on the inner half of the eyelid and blend outward to create a natural finish. Next, line from the inner corner of the eye to the middle and then blend outward.

To make your eyes look bigger.
The key to making eyes bigger is to focus on light shades. Dark ones will make eyes appear even smaller. Sweep a light shade over lid, then shade the outer corner of the lid and the crease with a darker shade. Line the outer upper and lower lids with eyeliner making sure to taper a bit outside the eye (elongating it). Lastly, a dab of white or cream shadow in the middle of the browbone will make eyes pop.

Hair Care Tips: Shake Dandruff Flakes Away

How do you get dandruff? Your whole body skin gets rid of dead cells from all parts of your body every day. In a span of twenty eight days you get a completely new coat of skin. Only thing is you never knew it before.There are a lot of small organisms like bacteria and fungi which live on human body. Their food is the sebaceous oils produced by human skin. A special fungus called malassezia fungus is all over our scalp. They feed on the oil produced from the hair follicles on your scalp. Occasionally they go in to over drive and irritates your scalp in to producing dead skin at up to double the normal speed. Now the skin is renewed in two weeks instead of the normal duration of a month. When all these dead cells get mixed up with the oil produced on to your scalp from your hair follicles, this results in the creation of dandruff. So in effect dandruff is a mixture of dead cells and body oil. The causes and effects of this malassezia fungus are still the topic of wide spread studies and research.You may some times find that the your regular shampoo is not getting the dandruff out of your hair. Then you will have to opt for an anti dandruff shampoo. The best anti dandruff shampoos are the ones which contain zinc pyrithione, selenium sulfide, salicylic acid or ketoconazole as active ingredients. Keep on changing your brand of anti dandruff shampoo at least once every month, so that your scalp will not develop immunity to any one shampoo.

motorcycle chic trend

Biker fashion: motorcycle chic trend:

Motorcycle jacket

Can you imagine the military trend without a military jacket? Not possible. And so it goes without saying that the motorcycle jacket is the motorcycle / biker fashion trend. Naturally, not any motorcycle jacket will do. While we undoubtedly will see fast fashion stores give us motorcycle jackets in the now-subdued vein of the 'Brando jacket', the motorcycle jacket in 2011 needs to be much more of a statement piece.

Hair-Trends-Styles-Cuts-Colors

2011-04-21T11:47:00.001+05:00

Men's 2011 Hair Trends: Styles, Colors,Cuts.

All fashion trends are cyclical, and in recent years have gradually modernised the looks of the 20th Century and planted them firmly in the 21st. Such a modernisation of past styles is especially true of men's hair trends in 2011: it's out with the new, and in with the old. Or at least an old hair style with a new twist.

2011 sees men's hair styles fall into two distinct categories: school boy and rocker. But while the rocker look is certainly a 20th Century creation, the resulting hair style finds its roots (if you'll pardon the pun) distinctly in 19th Century Britain. And so it is in 2010; while the odd 2010 runway collection featured something akin to a grunge revival, the majority of us will live out 2010 with a refined, classically inspired hair cut.

Deep V-Neck Tops

2011-04-21T11:42:00.001+05:00

Deep V-Neck Tops: Men's Trend:

You see, you can't really layer a t-shirt. Or at least, I can't really imagine a way it can be done without the wearer looking like a complete twat. "Look at that chap, he's wearing two t-shirts!" or, as is more likely to be the case, "that guy has a wife-beater under his douche bag neck. Weirdo!" But a cardigan is another story. You're almost forced to layer it. Sure, the catwalk models don't need to. Their square jaws, defined pecks, and distinct lack of pubic hair allows them to get away with it. But mere mortals? They'll be able to wear deep v-neck trend to their heart's content. All the time wearing it over something.

Heel shapes and styles

2011-04-21T11:37:00.001+05:00

Thick, chunky heels

Platforms and thick heels have dominated the past few seasons; and a number of the major design houses have seen fit to carry them on for Autumn / Winter.

The runways of Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Marni, Chanel.All those sturdy heels we've just invested in shouldn't go to waste too soon - despite the return of the more graceful stiletto.

The definite advantage of shoes with a thick heel is that they're better to walk in; so make the most while you can.

Tapered heels

Heels that start thick at the top and taper down, often with a curve, into a stiletto-esque point at the bottom.

The likes of Burberry Prorsum, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Zac Posen.

They're a sexy, interesting and modern style which can really spice up an outfit. Not as much a classic shape, so buy them if you intend to get a lot of wear out of them over the next few seasons.

Ways to combat escalating food prices

2011-04-21T11:20:00.001+05:00

1.Shop Warehouse Stores
Not all prices are better at membership stores, particularly if you tend to go overboard, but there are some really good deals to be had. Look for great buys on perishable items and shop towards the end of the day, when department managers want to unload extra inventory.

2.Use Coupons
Now’s the time to get in on the extreme-couponing trend, particularly since there are so many ways to access them these days. You’ll find coupons online in both Internet-code or downloadable (IP) form.. Mobile coupons are as close as your cell phone. CellFire is a great source for grocery savings.

Don’t overlook the coupons that print out with your receipt at the register. Known as Catalinas, these coupons are targeted towards the purchases you’ve made that day. Some stores, like King Soopers, also allow you to stack manufacturer and store coupons for additional savings. Not all supermarkets allow you to stack, however, so check first.

3.Hit Dollar Stores
Whether you cruise the narrow aisles of Dollar General or hit one of the smaller chains, dollar stores offer “ka-ching” savings on boxed, bagged and canned goods. Make sure you check the expiration dates, however.

4.Use Grocery Store Rewards Cards
These loyalty cards have become a necessity to access store sales, but they also have another benefit; You can download online coupons directly to your rewards card and the savings will be taken off at the register. Visit the rewards-card pages of such supermarket websites as Safeway and Food Lion to find these manufacturer coupons.

5.Buy Generic
By and large, store-brand generics can be much cheaper than manufacturer products with the exact same quality. In fact, generics come off the same assembly line before being slapped with separate labels so skip the brand name items.

6.Use Discount Gift Cards
Shop websites like GiftCardGranny for discount gift cards from Kmart, Walmart and other major chains that sell food goods and produce. Paying just a portion of the card’s face value gives you an instant savings on your grocery needs.

7.Make A List
Avoid impulse purchases by making a list before you leave home and sticking to it when you hit the store. Knowing specifically what you need also helps avoid duplications of products you already have at home.

8.Plan Your Meals
It’s a lot easier to make a list when you have a plan. Creating a weekly menu also helps you avoid quick trips to the supermarket that end up costing you more in many ways. For last minute meals, create a gourmet dish at a deep discount by buying meats, produce and other food items that are on sale at your local grocery store.

9.One-Stop Shop
Save gas, time and money by shopping stores like Target that allow you to buy everything on your list within one visit.

10.Avoid Out-of-Season Produce
To every vegetable and fruit there is a season…and a better price. Squash are cheaper in the fall while asparagus can be a bargain in the spring. Wait until prices are at their best and plan your menu around seasonal produce to save big.

Makeup For The Friday Night

2011-04-20T21:52:00.001+05:00

You look into the mirror, and there comes the major glitch, because your makeup doesn't seem up to the mark. Every woman knows how to do everyday makeup, but for the rocking Friday night the regular makeup doesn't work. You need to dazzle, but before you begin painting your face here's something that you need to consider.Let the theme for the night decide what kind of makeup you should be wearing quite obviously you must have kept that in mind when deciding on your clothes and accessories, so even your makeup needs to fall in line.Friday night makeup is not just for highlighting your natural beauty, but also to highlight your clothes and your attitude. For instance when you're dressed up perky in your leather jeans and a tank top, subdued makeup will just ruin the look. You need makeup which is bold and bright, with a lot of glitter and shimmer. Go for a little heavy eye makeup and deeper shades of lipstick. Now that's the kind of makeup that will blend with your attitude as well as your clothing.Besides makeup, you need to have the attitude to carry that makeup. Doesn't matter whether you want to look like a rock star, sweet and flirty babe or an elegant high society dame, what's more important is that you need to be very comfortable with the makeup that you plan to wear.* If you are going to use a concealer, use one with green undertones, because it reflects light wonderfully and the photographs will come out much nicer.
* For the foundation, apply it with smooth strokes and finally dab some face powder to avoid sweating on the face.

Tall Is Beautiful

2011-04-19T19:08:00.001+05:00

Unlike most fashion maestros, who always believe in using fashion to look the opposite of what you are, I would suggest instead of playing down on your tall height try playing it up. So, whoever tells you to stick to flat footwear and avoid high heels, just don't give them an ear. A tall height is a positive attribute, and like most women love to flaunt their shapely and sexy legs you must learn to flaunt your high instead of downplaying it.
Tall women usually have fabulous legs, and using some heels will help in drawing attention to your legs, while at the same time they will help you to improve your walking posture. If you're convinced that tall as beautiful, then use the right clothing, such as vertical stripes, fitted blouses, straight cuts skirts and knee-high heeled boots, to play up your height.Tall women often become terrifically shy and do weird things to cut down their height visually, like walking with a stoop or wearing clothes which can minimize their longer arms and legs. And in that nasty run to look a little less tall, they ruin their complete personality.
Anyways, if you're tall you must feel glad about it because there are millions and millions of petite frames around the world who are willing to do absolutely anything to gain an inch or two. Be proud of your tall stature, and stop slouching or looking for other ways to look less tall. Look at Hollywood, look at Parisian fashion or just about anywhere, you'll find the sexiest of women are fairly tall.

Long-Lasting Bridal Makeup

2011-04-19T18:46:00.001+05:00

sometimes, the hectic lifestyle, busy schedules, and different environmental factors don't allow us to have the perfect makeup we all wish for. When you less expect you notice that your mascara is running or that the lipstick has simply vanished. This is why it is important to know a few tips for a long-lasting makeup.
Women usually spend a lot of money on different makeup products. However, after several minutes in front of the mirror trying to obtain that perfect makeup without giving the impression of exaggerating, the only thing we get is an evaporating makeup. In order to avoid this it is important to learn a few simple tips and tricks that can help you get a long-lasting makeup in no time.
Let's start by preparing the skin. It is well known the fact that preparing your skin for makeup is essential not only for a healthy skin, but also to make your makeup stay in place longer. Therefore, first step and one of the most important is cleansing and moisturizing your skin. Sometimes, due to our hectic schedules, we tend to forget preparing our skin for makeup. Even though we don't realize it, this step can become the worst enemy of your skin.

Start with the most crucial thing, and that is cleansing your skin. Then, apply the moisturizing day cream you normally use or a serum. Leave it for a few minutes allowing the cream to enter the skin making it more receptive to the makeup products. A moisturizing cream can play the role of a makeup base sometimes. You should know that the makeup base is the best ally against a running makeup.

Second step means applying a foundation that works for your skin complexion. Apply foundation 10 minutes after the moisturizing cream. Foundation has the role of covering small imperfections, giving an even aspect to your skin, and ensuring a long-lasting makeup. Despite the time you take for meticulously applying foundation, you get to realize that throughout the day it evaporates. Moreover, it stains everything that comes in contact with it. The best thing you can do in order to make your foundation resist longer is to choose one with a fluid texture, oil-free, as this one works for every skin type. Apply it using a small makeup sponge as it allows an even appliance. Leave it for a few moments and then apply a light layer of powder in order to fix it.

Another trick for a long-lasting foundation is to wet your hands and gently press them on the skin after applying the foundation. This way you'll help the product to enter into the pores and therefore fix it better. Glazing is a technique used by makeup artists too.

Use a compact powder as it is provides a longer resistance. When it comes to the right blush, remember that the powdered texture is more recommended as it resists longer.

Women love a sexy, glamorous look and they usually use their eyes in order to get this. A dramatic eye makeup can easily be achieved using a pencil or a liquid eyeliner. However, when choosing between these two, you should know that the liquid eyeliner is four times more resistant than the pencil. With just some skills you can apply a thinner line for a daytime makeup and a more accentuated one for a special, evening makeup.

Before applying the liquid eyeliner you need to use some powder on the eyelids in order to prevent the makeup from smudging. Start drawing a first, thin line from the inside corner of the eye and working outwards. It is not necessarily to make one long line, especially if you are a beginner, but rather several smaller lines. If you want a more dramatic look, you can thicken the line. In order to balance the eye makeup, you can use a pencil on the lower lid, making a fine line at the roots of the eyelashes, but only from the center of the eyelid going outwards.

What's worse than a running mascara? In matters of makeup this is one of the most dreadful things. Who wants to look ten years older? In order to avoid this, choose a waterproof mascara. But not a common waterproof mascara. The perfect choice should perfectly cover your eyelashes, lengthening them and adding more volume without the overloading sensation. When applying it, start from the roots of the lashes going towards the exterior, curving them.

Small Business Ideas

2011-04-18T11:30:00.001+05:00

Online business and make money online
You can tell that this is my personal favourite. I continue to root on online business/make money online because of two obvious reasons: Cost-effective and lucrative. With many industries are going online, the future is darn bright! Online tutoring, online store, website flipping, etc. – all look promising.

2. Small business with a cause
“Do business with us and we will plant a tree on your behalf” is a great small business idea. People basically love to give to others, in many different ways. Some don’t really want to help others directly; they are more interested in getting what they want while doing something worthwhile in the process. Offering your products and services with an embedded social cause(s) can offer you a win-win situation: Happy customers, happy charities and happy business.
3.Services to Home-based business
Home based business is good, but offering services to those who work at home is terrific. Some small business ideas: An online community for home-based business owners, delivery services for home-based businesses, home office maintenance services, etc
4.Personalised products and/or services
Personalisation is trendy. People no longer really want to wear a Mark Ecko t-shirt – you want “YOUR” t-shirt printed with YOUR choice of image; you don’t want a Hallmark greeting card – you want “YOUR” greeting card made especially for you; starting a business offering clients uniqueness and individualistic flavour will give you a best chance to succeed.

5 Small Business Marketing Tips

2011-04-13T14:22:00.002+05:00

Small Business Marketing Tips1. Offer a Cheaper Version
Some prospective customers are not willing to pay the asking price for your product or service. Others are more interested in paying a low price than in getting the best quality. You can avoid losing sales to many of these customers by offering a smaller or stripped down version of your product or service at a lower price.
2. Offer a Premium Version
Not all customers are looking for a cheap price. Many are willing to pay a higher price to get a premium product or service. You can boost your average size sale and your total revenue by offering a more comprehensive product or service ...or by combining several products or services in a special premium package offer for a higher price.

3.Take Advantage of Your Customers
Your customers already know and trust you. It's easier to get more business from them than to get any business from somebody who never bought from you. Take advantage of this by creating some special deals just for your existing customers ...and announce new products and services to them before you announce them to the general market.
4. Trim Your Ads
Reduce the size of your ads so you can run more ads for the same cost. You may even be surprised to find that some of your short ads generate a better response than their longer versions.
5. Don't Advertise Like a Big Business
Big businesses advertise to create name recognition and future sales. A small business can't afford to do that. Instead, design your advertising to produce sales ...now. One way to accomplish this is to always include an offer in your advertising - and an easy way for prospective customers to respond to it.

Easy Ways to Advertise Online

2011-04-13T11:42:00.001+05:00

5 Simple and Easy Ways to Advertise Online
Some people say that advertising is everything!.You have to advertise somehow to get the traffic to your site or blog.If you have a product, a service, a hobby website or just want to share pictures of your wedding.
Take for example all of the many different 'surf for traffic' or 'traffic clicking' programs that are out there. If you have a website that is about your hobby, say model airplanes, then what good is this traffic really going to do you? Who's using these services?
Here are some tips on how you can generate exactly the traffic you need and bring the visitors you want to your website without having to chase after them.
1.Content What is your website about? Do you just have a page with a lot of links and not much else?
If this is the case, think about adding some content to your website that will be of value to any potential visitors. You could write articles or find articles at one of the many directories that you can reprint on your site.
2. Talk about your experiences in your subject matter. You don't have to put up some kind of resume (although that can work too), but rather try writing about what you are doing, as it relates to your topic of choice.
Let's look at the model airplanes again briefly, you could talk or write about the latest plane type you built, how the last time flying your plane went, what challenges you run into or perhaps even post some pictures of your plane or of you flying it.
3. Forums and bulletin boards. You could add a forum or bulletin board to your website where your visitors can interact with each other. T
here are a lot of free services available out there that you can use to either remotely host a forum for you, or even software you can install on your website's server. To find some of these, just head over to your favorite search engine and you will definitely find plenty to choose from.
And while you are visiting the search engine, why not run a search for any bulletin boards and forums that are already out there for your chosen topic?
You could visit those and interact with the visitors there and since many allow you to post a signature or a profile, you could add a little line about your own site with a link (just check the rules of the forum first so you don't violate any of them).
4. Start a blog. Blogs are very popular and search engines love them because they provide constantly new and fresh content. Your blog would be a great place to talk about what you are up to that day.
So if you spent some time today buying new parts for your plane you could write about where you found them, how much they cost you, why you chose those parts, anything really goes.
The really great part about this is that you can point links from your blog back to your website, so when the search engine stops by to grab and index your latest content, it will also stop by your website and you will start seeing very targeted traffic heading your way.
5. Write articles. Writing articles isn't hard and can be a great source of fresh, new traffic to your website. There are a lot of ezines on any topic out there and there are also a lot of directories where you can share your article.
Basically, what you do is write an article and then add a small resource box that links back to your website (just like a signature) and then let other ezine publishers know that you are allowing them to print your article in their ezine.
And many publishers go to the article directories to find new content for their newsletter and even their websites. And since there are websites and ezine newsletters on any imaginable topic out there, you can't lose.

1. Article marketing

Article marketing is the first method we want to discuss. There is a skill to promoting anything with article marketing.

You can not specifically advertise a product when you do article marketing. The approach you will take is writing articles that people find interesting.

At the end of every article you can include a resource box that contains a link back to your website. By writing a quality article people will be more inclined to click on the link in your resource box and that gives you the opportunity to turn that visitor into a potential customer.

It doesn't cost anything other than your time to write the articles. And you will need to submit them to the top article directories. As you begin to make money you can automate some of this by outsourcing the writing and submission to freelancers if you choose to do so.

However when you first get started you can do all of your own writing and submitting. You can go to a directory such as Ezinearticles.com and look at some of the expert authors to get ideas on what a well written article would look like.

Starting your own blog is another way to promote your business on the Internet. You can set up a free blog at

Blogger.com which is owned by Google.

You then take the articles you are using for article marketing and rework those in the shorter blog articles.

Generally article marketing articles run about 400 words where blog articles can be 200 words or so.

You will want to bookmark your blog articles into social directories which is similar to submitting them to

article directories. The more articles you have online in both your blog and article directories the more potential readers you'll get and they can also serve a search engine bait.

These are 2 proven successful free online business advertising strategies. If you are willing to put some effort

into learning how to do this effectively they can drive traffic to your online business.

Suit cuts: on-trend styles and designs

2011-04-13T11:18:00.001+05:00

Suit cuts: on-trend styles and designs

You'll find terms such as skinny and slim peppered throughout this tailoring trends guide, but fear not: I'm not referring to the 'skinny boy' suit popular into 2008 / 2009; with proponents of that style having themselves moved on to other styles, the skinny boy suit has had it's day. But, despite this, the terms of skinny and slim remain simply because unstructured, boxy suit cuts are out of fashion. So there, from the get go, as we describe the suit cuts you should be looking for in 2011 and beyond we have to say it: you're looking for a slim cut; and I use slim as opposed to skinny to describe the on-trend cut as your investment in a good suit should be in something that is neither overly-skinny nor overly boxy, but instead a suit cut that would appeal to a military officer, one that accents a sense of the masculine through three key silhouette elements:

broad shoulders
a slim waist
slim trousers

With those three attributes in mind, let's look at the actual cuts that are in fashion:

Single breasted suits

It seems superfluous to include single breasted suits in a trend article given they are never out of fashion. But despite being the default style, they're also the dominant, on-trend suit cut for 2011 and 2012. This sits in contrast to the double breasted suit being the on-trend cut during 2009 and 2010.
The cut of the single breasted suit has evolved for 2011 / 2012 to have two dominant styles:

The sleek cut

The first of the two dominant single-breasted suit styles for 2011 is what I term a sleek cut. This is the suit for the slick chap who wears his suits in something of a toned down way. They're still impeccably made and they're never casual, but when it comes time to tick the masculinity box I referred to earlier, this suit is for the chap who does so with restraint.
To give you an instant mental picture of the sleek cut suit in 2011 and 2012, think of it as inspired by the continuing popularity of all things 1960s, a suit very akin to what the likes of Mad Men's Don Draper wears into the office though one cut with a trimmer waist.

Obama budget to cut deficit by $1.1 trillion

By Jeff Mason and Thomas Ferraro

WASHINGTON | Sun Feb 13, 2011 6:28pm EST

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's 2012 budget plan would slash the deficit by $1.1 trillion over 10 years, officials said on Sunday, but Republicans were unimpressed and vowed to push for deeper cuts in spending.
White House budget director Jack Lew said the proposal to be unveiled on Monday puts the government on track to halve the federal budget deficit by the end of Obama's first term in office, which extends through 2012.
"We are reducing programs that are important programs that we care about, and we're doing what every family does when it sits around its kitchen table: we're making the choices about what do we need for the future," Lew said on CNN.
One Democrat familiar with the document said that by 2015 or 2016, under Obama's proposal, federal budget deficits would fall to about 3 percent of GDP, from the current 9.8 percent.
But Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, said Obama's proposed cuts would not do enough to rein in the growing deficit and promised their own plan would go further.
"He's going to present a budget tomorrow that will continue to destroy jobs by spending too much, borrowing too much and taxing too much," House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Representative Chris Van Hollen, the senior Democrat on the House Budget Committee, warned that many members of Congress "are not going to like the individual" spending cuts contained in the Obama budget.
In a telephone interview with Reuters, Van Hollen said, "These are deep cuts but they're not the hatchet job we're seeing in the Republicans' 2011 reductions" that will be debated on the House floor this week.
Among Obama's proposed budget cuts, according to a Democrat who did not want to be identified, are $1 billion in grants to large airports and $1 billion in savings by cutting federal aid to water treatment plants and other infrastructure.
The source, who is familiar with the administration's budget proposal, said that higher Medicare payments for the elderly to doctors over two years would be paid for with spending cuts totaling around $60 billion.
CONTENTIOUS DEBATE
Obama's budget proposal kicks off what is certain to be a contentious debate with Republicans, who made big gains in November's elections fueled by conservative Tea Party activists who want to cut spending and reduce the size of government.
Republican House Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan would not say whether Republicans would oppose Obama's plan until he saw the full text.
"We'll see the details of this budget tomorrow, but it looks like to me that it is going to be very small on spending discipline and a lot of new spending so-called investments," Ryan said on "Fox News Sunday."
The budget deficit is forecast to reach $1.48 trillion this fiscal year, or 9.8 percent of U.S. gross domestic product. This would be down from 10.0 percent of GDP in 2010, but still very high for the United States on a historical basis.

The State of Religious Freedom in Pakistan

2011-04-12T12:01:00.001+05:00

PAKISTAN: The State of Religious Freedom in Pakistan

The development of multiethnic societies has increased the importance of freedom of religion, and the concept of freedom of conscience has helped in redefining religion. Religion does not have to be theist or dependent on a god. Any sincere belief in ethical qualities is religious because such qualities as truth, love and beauty are sacred, and the advancement of any such belief is the advancement of religion.
Justice Clark of the U.S. Supreme Court in United States vs. Seager in 1965 observed: 'A sincere and meaningful belief, which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those admittedly qualifying for exemption on the grounds of religion, comes within the statutory definition.'
Thirty-five years later while addressing the Millennium World Peace Summit on Aug. 29, 2000, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Anan said the fundamental right to freedom of religion encompasses 'the right to worship; to establish and maintain places of worship; to write, publish and teach; to celebrate holidays; to choose their own religious leader; and to communicate to others at home and abroad.' He called on governments to uphold these freedoms and added: 'Where governments and authorities fail to protect these freedoms, it is at once an affront and a menace.'
The concept of freedom, liberty and human rights have with the passage of time developed with human civilisation. The United Nations, of course, facilitated this process of development and provided a forum to think and decide together as people belonging to different religions, creeds, cultures and races to evolve a treatise to live together in the pluralistic societies of today. This development of thought and learning has set standard legislation internationally for governments to follow and practice. Any violation of these rights becomes a concern for the world community; but if these rights are usurped at the state level in basic documents, like the Constitution and statute law, then the situation becomes grave for the community and poses a serious threat to the members of the global village as well.
Therefore, religious freedom has to be examined on a broader canvas. Apart from freedom to profess and propagate religion and freedom to manage religious affairs and institutions, such subjects as religion and social tolerance, religion and politics and religion and economics are equally important. The dominance of a particular religion in a State or a social structure will eventually entail complications in different fields of life. Freedom of religion must not exist for one and be restricted and limited for another because freedom for one is freedom for another in equal measure.

Color trend for 2011

2011-04-11T19:32:00.001+05:00

Yellow will be most popular color during the springtime among the favorite colors of 2011 Even though white is the most prefered color for the springtime, yellow will often be seen everywhere.

Mimosa (the orange juice and champagne yellow) was named as the color of the year for 2010 by Pantone, but any shade of yellow is a good bet. You might not prefer to wear a bright yellow color though. In this case, I advise you to look for more subtle shades such as chartreuse or mustard.

For their take on the colours for Spring 2011 clothing trends, cloth manufacturers Lenzing believe that we won't just be throwing off the darker colours of Fall 2010's trends but possibly even the mentality that has gone with recent financially tough times. Thus they see Spring / Summer 2011 colours as those which are "uplifting" and "soften, energise, and excite."
For the Spring / Summer 2011 season they've put forwards five key colour trends.
Celebration
Spring personified in a palette, the colors that make up this Spring 2011 color trend are mostly named after flowers: iris, viola, daffodil, poppy, and geranium. Unsurprisingly, should this color scheme take your fancy, this one should be worked into your Spring 2011 wardrobe as a part of your florals.

Scoring Extras In Cricket

2011-04-10T12:36:00.001+05:00

In the game of cricket, it is possible for the batting team to score additional runs. These additional runs are given the name of ‘extras’. These runs are possible to be scored because of some of the errors that may be committed by the fielding side. These extras are known by the name of ‘Sundries’ in Australia.
There are four ways which make it is possible for the batting team to score these extras. These four ways include ‘No Ball’, ‘Wide Ball’, ‘Bye’ and ‘Leg Bye’. ‘No Ball’ may be described as the situation where the bowler, a member of the fielding team breaks one of the rules of bowling. This could be because of his arm action that is inappropriate or when he oversteps the popping crease or while bowling, one of his steps was outside the return crease.
In any of these circumstances, the bowler has to pay a penalty of one extra. Not only this, another way in which the batting team gets benefited is that the bowler has to re-bowl the ball. In case of a limited overs cricket match, if the setting of the bowling team is such that it fails to comply with the restrictions, then a no ball is called. However, a free hit rule has been introduced in shorter formats of this game such as one day international and 20-20. According to this rule, the batsman will be benefited by having a free hit and he will also not loose his wicket except in the situation when he is actually run out.
The second type of extra can be earned by the batting team through a ‘Wide ball’. It is defined as the situation where in the penalty of one extra is agreed by the bowler if his bowling has been done in a manner where the ball is completely out of the reach of the batsman. Similar to a no-ball, a wide ball is also supposed to be re-bowled rendering another benefit for the batting team.
The third instance where an extra can be earned by the batting team is a ‘Bye’. In such a circumstance, the ball is missed by the batsman but it also passes off the wicketkeeper. Thus, the batsmen get the time to run between the wickets and score a run or two. Thus, a good wicketkeeper is regarded as a player who can restrict the byes to a minimum possible number in a given innings.
The forth and the last way to score an extra is through a ‘Leg Bye’. In this situation, the body of the batsman actually hits the ball and not his bat. This happens when the batsman is making an attempt to play a legitimate shot. Such a shot goes away from the fielders and the batsmen run between the wickets to score a run or two.
The bowling team always pays a greater penalty in case of a no-ball or a wide ball because in this case, the batting team also gets an extra ball in addition to earning an extra. Thus, there is an opportunity available with the batting team to earn more number of runs with this extra ball.

Watch your SEO!

2011-04-10T12:25:00.001+05:00

If you own or operate a website, you know that it is important to operate a well rounded search engine optimization program. Some companies just outsource the work and some do it in house. It all depends on the talent and expertise you have in house in order to create an effective seo program. There are many companies out there that only want your money, but say that they will make your website number one, guaranteed! All I have to say is ha. No company no matter how good can guarantee number one positions in natural searches. The only way that they can say this is with unethical ways of positioning your website. Of course, most companies will use come pay per click advertising for your site, but you can do that yourself and get the same exact results. In order to stay on top of the natural searches, you need to have ethical ways of promoting and optimizing your site. Make sure to take time to analyze your site compared to the top 10 sites for each of your top keywords. If you see their sites compared to yours, the correct changes can be made. This is a big one, make sure no company or individual in your company creates doorway pages on your site. These inflate your results for a very short time and can and will lead to you being banned from the search engines. There are a lot of companies that say they will put their content on your site to help your results, this only means that they are going to put in doorway pages! Do not let them do this because it will lead to your sites downfall. Be careful out there with all the search engine optimization companies and think about possibly doing your own optimization with the same results. You might want to try to find a company that just gives you a optimization report, which allows you to optimize your own site at your own leisure. Good luck out there!

Be sure to make solid contacts and be thorough with your follow ups. Being polite and efficient will always create effective business relations. Then exploit your own publicity. Use it again and again; post it in the store or rewrite it for more national distribution. Go as far as you can with your ideas.
And, it doesn't cost you. That is the true joy - with a little effort and persistence, you can reap great profits from free publicity.

7 ways to make a GREAT first impression!

2011-04-09T18:39:00.001+05:00

1. Focus on the other

Being known as a 'natural' at interpersonal communication is not just a gift that a select few enjoy. We can all enjoy the reputation of being 'a great communicator'.

Simply focus the conversation on the other person. This takes the pressure off you --- you don't have to be a witty bon-vivant to be a great communicator.
Avoid interrogating your new acquaintance, and if you are really nervous do your best to control twitches and jittery movements. And (best hint coming...) ALWAYS slow your speaking rate down. Nervousness makes us talk too fast.

2. The eyes have it

Here's a great 'rule breaker': instead of sticking to the 'respect someone's privacy and personal space' rule, when you meet someone for the first time give them a good look right in the eyes.
It's well known that when we look at someone we find attractive, our pupils dilate, a phenomenon that the other person instinctively picks up on. Well, that phenomenon can also be put to good use in our business dealings, too. Notice the other person's eye colour, say 'great' to yourself, and you'll find yourself involuntarily smiling. The other person will pick up on your mood.
But try and avoid smiling lecherously, or as a vampire would when contemplating a tasty new neck...

3. Get over your 'bad hair day'

Whilst 'being yourself' is always a good thing for relational honesty, try and disguise your inherent pessimism and bad mood from new acquaintances.
Even though you know you are just 'having a bad day' or a bad half-hour, the other person will probably decide that you are a 'full-time whinger', an impression and reputation hard to shake.
A bad mood will spread contagiously, bringing down the other person too. Better to start off positively; you can always let them see your 'other' side on another day...

4. "Mirror in the bathroom" **

Adjust your posture, voice and gestures to those of your new acquaintance. Establish rapport by mirroring their head nods and tilts. Speak at their pace and volume level. You'd be surprised by just how many different 'voices' a successful salesperson uses in a day -- they spend a large amount of time mirroring the other person's gestures, voice, language, pace, intonation and volume.

** (a wildly unsuccessful link to an 80s ska/reggae song)

5. Tread lightly...

He's talking about his new Holden Commodore; you're thinking of your new Impreza WRX. Or she's talking about her latest small win at the office and you're thinking about the new $1M account you just landed single-handed.
Which do you reckon will be more impressive: you gloating about your wins and toys, or you letting the other person have their 15 minutes of fame?
Good manners, as well as psychological research, dictate that to impress your guest you should always keep at the forefront of your mind the question, "How am I making the other person feel?"
Actively encourage others to talk about themselves, and respond genuinely --- without bringing it back to yourself.

6. Focus on their achievements

Use flattery sparingly but powerfully by focusing on the other person's achievements, not their personal attributes. Even if they suspect you might be brown-nosing, they will still get a warm glow from a well-directed compliment. "You have a great eye for colour; I really like how you have put the office decor together" is more flattering than, "Nice office".
"I like your new BMW - you must be a real asset to the company for them to give it to you" is more flattering than, "So who did you suck up to?"
Similarly, "You have a great eye for colour; I really like how you've put your wardrobe together" works better than, "You look totally shaggable in that dress".

7. It's never too late

Remember, there's very little that is unfixable in our interpersonal business relationships. There is usually always another chance to fix false first impressions.
Let's say you arrive at a meeting late, having just copped a parking ticket from the previous appointment. Your mood is not, as they might say, triumphant and glowing. Instead of responding appropriately to a new acquaintance's polite greeting, you mumble a grumpy 'yeah' and drop your laptop bag unceremonially into a nearby chair.
Okay, not a good start. But step outside the room for a moment, take a deep breath, count to seven (ten is too long a pause) re-enter the room and look your acquaintance in the eye. Apologise and explain why you are out of sorts. You might even want to turn it into a joke by saying something like, "I see you just met my evil twin."
And remember to cut others some slack if they make a bad first impression on you, too! What comes around, goes around...

wearing high heels

If you are lucky enough to be tall and slim then you can look good in any style, but if you are short or have thick calves you need to choose more wisely.
Despite the fact that wearing heels changes a woman's posture and height in a way that presumably amps up their attractiveness, the men in the experiment couldn't tell the difference between a woman who was wearing heels and one who was not (unless the heels themselves were visible).

Business Ideas for College Students

2011-04-03T22:19:00.001+05:00

As a college student, you are likely to have little time and little money. Keeping this in mind, your business ideas should take this into account. The best business ideas for college students are those that have very low startup costs and that allow you to work with a demanding - and ever changing - schedule.

1. Tutoring

Running a tutoring business can be as simple as helping fellow students out with the subject you are majoring in, or you can branch out and offer to tutor elementary, junior high, and high school students. If you did well on the SAT, you could even run your own SAT tutoring business where you tutor students for this important college admissions test.
Print fliers, run an ad on Craigslist, and mention to instructors the discipline that you will be offering tutoring services to students. Keep integrity (i.e. the student completes the work, and not you) and you will be surprised at how your client base will grow through word of mouth. Also, make sure you hand out business cards and place them in cafés near campus at every available opportunity.

2. Editing and Writing Coaching

If you are a major in any of the humanities disciplines, you will quickly build your writing skills. If you regularly receive compliments on your writing skills, this can be a profitable business. A few notes: First, do not write papers for anyone - no matter how much they beg. This can jeopardize your degree and your career. Second, writing coaching involves teaching others how to outline and research - not doing those things for them. This put aside, editing other students' papers can provide you with the extra income you've been looking for.

3. Web Design

Web Design can be a profitable business for those who know how to create exciting web pages. Help professors, other students, and members of the community create web pages. Additionally, you can help others learn how to use social media like LinkedIn, FaceBook, and Twitter to build their business.

4. Cleaning Services

Offering cleaning services to other students, or to local citizens can be a great way to boost your income. Cleaning services can also include organizational services. Help other students and individuals organize their lives to help you pad your wallet. The best part of the service? Through perfecting your business skills, you will also improve your own domicile!

Top Pakistani Cricket Openers

2011-04-02T20:26:00.001+05:00

Pakistani cricket has a history of legendary athletes who showed great performances in the past in the limited overs and test cricket matches. We have a long list of great batsmen and bowlers making impact worldwide. Starting the innings has been always a challenge for Pakistani cricketers. A lot of new youngsters have been tried during the years have failed to open the innings effectively. But here are a few most effective and legendary openers Pakistan team ever had

HANIF MUHAMMAD:
Hanif Muhammad was born in 1934 and was former Pakistani cricketer. He played for Pakistan till 1976. The highest of Hanif's Test centuries was a famous 337 made against Indies. This was the only triple century made in second innings. In 1958/59, he surpassed Don Bradman's record for the highest individual first-class innings. Along with Javed Miandad and Imran Khan,Hanif was included in the ICC Hall of Fame in 2009.

AAMER SOHAIL:
Born in 1966 Sohail's first appeared for the national team in a 1990 one-day International against Sri Lanka.Vert aggressive, Sohail formed one half of Pakistan's last successful and stable opening pairs with Saeed Anwar. He scored double-hundred at Old Trafford in 1992. He was also a good spinner and a bowler. He captained the Pakistani side at numerous occasions including 1996 world cup quarter final in India. Sohail was at the heart of the match-fixing scandal that shocked cricket in the 1990s; his whistle-blowing may have negatively affected his international career.
SAEED ANWAR:
Born in 1968 in Karachi, Anwar is most notable for scoring 194 runs against India in Chennai in 1997.He was in and out of team in early career. Saeed Anwar graduated from NED University, Karachi in 1989 and is an engineer by profession. He faced a personal tragedy in 2001, when his daughter died after a prolonged illness. On August 15, 2003, he announced his retirement from Cricket His magic was in his wrists, and he had such timing and sense of placement that poor footwork hardly mattered.
MAJID KHAN:
Majid remains one of the country's most stylish opening batsmenMajid's Test career started in 1964 against Australia but he became renowned in 1967 when Pakistan toured EnglandMajid Khan and his cousins (sons of his mother's sisters) Imran Khan and Javed Burki spent their careers playing cricket at Oxford and professionallyMajid played his last test for Pakistan in January 1983 vs India at Lahore.

MUDASSAR NAZAR:
A solid contrast to his regular partner, the flashier Mohsin Khan, Mudassar was a batsman of immense patience, though not as compact as Hanif or with as many strokes. He holds the record for the slowest Test hundred, and alongside his father, Nazar Mohammad, is one of only four Pakistanis to carry their bat through a completed innings. In the right conditions, a more than handy swing bowler.

SADIQ MUHAMMAD:
A right-hander at birth, he was told to switch by elder brothers Hanif and Wazir because they felt he had more of a chance of succeeding that way. Sadiq was immensely brave, like all the Mohammad brothers, once saving a Test against West Indies with a heroic unbeaten 98, made after bearing a fierce facial injury. Loved taking on faster bowlers and scored runs in what were for Pakistanis tough conditions. Pakistan's success in the 70s was based on his partnership with Majid.
MOHSIN HASSAN KHAN:
A stylist in the Majid mould, Mohsin was amazing to watch. He was born in 1955. He retired from international cricket to pursue a film career He later married Bollywood movie star Reena Roy Movies he featured in includes Gunehgar Kaun, Laatsaab, Pratikaar, Fateh, Saathi, etc. He has since divorced Roy and remarried. As well as the Lord's double-hundred, he scored big runs on the bouncy surfaces of Australia. On 2 March, 2010 Pakistan have named Mohsin Khan as Iqbal Qasim's successor as chief selector of the national cricket team

Drone attacks in Pakistan

2011-04-02T20:10:00.001+05:00

It was hoped that the new United States administration will review its aggressive policy of combating militancy and terrorism in Pakistan. Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani had already promised the country that there would be no more drone attacks once Obama became president. But unfortunately nothing has changed. On January 23, a few days after President Obama took office; three drone missiles hit the village of Zharaki in North Waziristan and killed at least 22 people among them many civilians. The story has not ended here and now it is being reported that the new United States administration is considering stepping up missiles attacks in Pakistan.

Drone attacks in Pakistan are counter-productive, short-sighted and in no way serve the long-term interest of Pakistan and United States. Aimed at targeting the Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants, these drone attacks have resulted in a greater civilian death toll. The situation among the local people is quite alarming. These attacks are leading to mental disorders. It has helped fuel fanaticism as extremist elements have exploited these kinds of aggressive actions to their advantage. It has caused some local people to join the militants. Moreover it has isolated the Pakistan Army from the tribe’s people and has affected Pakistan’s own authority to contain militancy. Killing a militant or two at the cost of lives of ten or more civilians will do nothing but create anti-American feelings among the local people. United States cannot win this war without the support of the local people of tribal areas. But these deadly attacks have severely undermined public support for counter-terrorism measures. Death of every innocent will bring more hatred to United States. A civilian who has lost his innocent family in a drone attack will go a long way to take his revenge. Who knows he may become another Osama Bin Laden or Mullah Omer?

The United Stated administration should adopt a more comprehensive and holistic approach towards dealing with the issue of terrorism in Pakistan. The unilateral action in tribal areas should be halted immediately. United States policies towards Pakistan should serve the interests of both nations.

Finding Your Own Fashion Style

2011-04-02T19:38:00.001+05:00

In a world extraordinarily focused on outward appearance, we need only to open a magazine or turn on our televisions to see the latest and greatest fashion trend; it walks the red carpet, checks out a movie premier, and heads out nightly to the hottest restaurants. And we, as a society always mindful of what's popular, follows dutifully along, eager to purchase the "must have" item of the season. But, ultimately, the fashion style that works best for us is that which looks good on our particular body and reflects our very individual personality.

As anyone who follows the fashion industry will tell you, trends come and go. What is one year's hot item is the next season's fashion "don't." Designers present their newest lines and before you know it stores are carrying these clothes in every conceivable variation. And then, just as quickly, they're gone. It's almost impossible to keep pace. Luckily, the fashion style that makes the most sense on an individual level is the fashion style that reflects who we are as people; and that never goes out of style.

The most important thing to remember is that just because a particular fashion style is popular at the moment does not mean that it will look good on your particular body. Wearing something just for the sake of wearing it ultimately goes against the principles of fashion. A fashion style that you choose to wear should be something that accentuates your positives, downplays your negatives, and complements the overall line of your body.

Take the time to get to know your body and what styles work best with it. Assess your body objectively; if you have trouble spots, look for cuts and fabrics that camouflage what you need them to camouflage; if you are on the shorter side, look for a fashion style that elongates your body; and always choose colors that complement your skin tone.

Once you find a style that works - stick with it and add your personal touches to reflect your personality; that is the best fashion style you can possibly wear.

10 healthy eating tips for kids

2011-04-01T21:44:00.001+05:00

10 HEALTHY EATING TIPS FOR KIDS

1. Food is Fun… Enjoy your food

Sharing a meal with family and friends at home or at school is a great way to enjoy food. It is fun to see other people’s choice of food - what sandwich fillings do others have? Have you tried having a different filling every day? Check out your lunch box or dinner plate. How many different kinds of fruit and vegetables can you spot?

Top of the page

2. Breakfast is a very important meal

Our bodies always need energy, and after a night’s sleep, energy levels are low. Cars, buses and trains cannot run without fuel. So, whether you are off to school, or out and about at the weekend, start the day with breakfast. Plenty of carbohydrates is just the ticket: try cereal with semi-skimmed milk, fruit or yoghurt, toast or bread, perhaps with lean meats.
Top of the page

3. Eat lots of different foods every day, variety is the recipe for health

You need over 40 different kinds of vitamins and minerals every day for good health. Since there is no single food that contains them all, it is important to balance your daily choices. In fact there are no good or bad foods, so you do not need to miss out on the foods you enjoy. The best way to make sure you get the right balance is to eat a wide variety of foods each day.
Top of the page

4. Which group would you tip for the top? Base your food on carbohydrates

Many people don’t eat enough carbohydrate foods, such as cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. At least half the calories in your diet should come from these foods, so it is a good idea to include at least one of these at every meal. Try whole-grain bread, pasta and other cereals to give you extra fibre. Have you tried baking your own bread? It’s good fun and smells wonderful!
Top of the page

5. Gimme five! Eat fruits and vegetables with each meal and as tasty snacks!

Fruits and vegetables are among the most important foods for giving us enough vitamins, minerals and fibre. We should all try to eat 5 servings a day. For example, a glass of fruit juice at breakfast, perhaps an apple and banana as snacks and two vegetables at meal times then you have already reached your total. How many different kinds can you spot in the supermarket? Why not try some new ones?

6. Fat facts. Too much saturated fat is not good for your health

Eating too many of those tasty, fatty foods (such as butter, spreads, fried meats and sausages, pies and pastries) might not always be so good for your body. So remember, a big helping of potatoes, but go easy on the butter. Although we need some fats to get all the nutrients we need, it is better for our health if we don’t eat too much of these foods and get knocked off balance. So, if you have a high-fat lunch, choose a low-fat dinner.
Top of the page

7. Snack attack! Eat regularly and choose a variety of snacks

Even if you eat regular meals during the day, there will still be times in between that you feel hungry, especially if you have been very physically active. Snacks can fill the gap, but should not be eaten in place of meals, only as an extra. There are lots of different snacks available. Your choice may be crisps, nuts and other packet snacks, chocolate bars, cakes and biscuits. On other occasions, you may prefer a sandwich, some fresh or dried fruits, or perhaps sticks of vegetables like carrots and celery. Whichever snack you enjoy, remember it is always good to include a variety of different types to keep things in balance.

8. Quench your thirst. Drink plenty of liquids

Did you know that more than half of your weight is just water? So as well as giving your body all the food it needs each day to keep healthy, you need at least 5 glasses of liquids a day. It is particulary important if the weather is very hot or if you have done lots of exercise, to have plenty to drink to prevent dehydration. Usually – but not always – your body will tell you this, by making you feel thirsty. Plain tap water is great of course, but bottled water, fruit juices, tea, soft drinks, milk and so on, can all be okay too.
Top of the page

9. Care for those teeth! Brush your teeth at least twice a day

Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Eating foods high in sugar or starches too often during the day can play a part in tooth decay. So don’t nibble foods and sip drinks all day long! However, the best way to keep a nice smile is to brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothepaste. Also, after brushing your teeth at bedtime, don’t eat any food, or drink anything but water!
Top of the page

10. Get moving! Be active every day

Just like a bike may become rusty if it is not used for some time, our muscles and bones need to be kept moving too. Activity is needed to keep your heart healthy and your bones strong. It can also be good fun. Try to include some form of activity every day: it may be just walking to school and running up the stairs. However, games like skipping and football at break times are good fot giving the body a workout. Swimming is a particularly good sport for keeping you healthy.

Top 10 Health Tips for Men

2011-04-01T21:33:00.001+05:00

When it comes to health care, we men are like ostriches. We bury our heads in the sand. We are much less likely than women to visit our doctors regularly, take symptoms seriously and live a healthful lifestyle. Maybe that’s one reason why women have a seven-year average survival advantage on us!

Yet it’s obviously important that men of all ages become more proactive about their health. And an easy way to start is to follow these 10 basic steps to maintaining health and vitality.

1. Eliminate "White Foods" from Your Diet. White flour, white sugar and other processed foods are not only devoid of vitamins and minerals, but they’ve also been stripped of their natural fibre. As a result, they rapidly drive up blood sugar levels, which contributes to weight gain, diabetes and a host of other health problems. Avoid breads and baked goods made with white flour, sugar-laden sodas and snack foods. Instead, focus on eating fibre-rich fruits, vegetables, legumes and whole grains.

2. Stay Away from Dangerous Trans Fats. While it’s important to reduce your overall fat intake, it’s even more important to watch the types of fat you eat. Deep-fried foods and anything made with hydrogenated oils (margarine, peanut butter, shortening, store-bought pastries and cookies) contain trans fats that raise your risk of heart disease. Eat only healthful fats, such as olive oil and the omega-3 oils found in salmon and other cold-water fish, which actually protect against heart disease.

3. Take a Potent Daily Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement. Although there is no substitute for a good diet, I am convinced that for optimal nutrition, you need to take a high-potency multivitamin and mineral supplement. Even if you are eating right, it’s unlikely that your food contains all the nutrients you need. Poor soil quality, storage, processing and cooking deplete our food of vitamins and minerals. Taking a high quality daily supplement is "health insurance" against possible deficiencies.

4. Include Weight Training in Your Exercise Routine. Aerobic exercise is great for cardiovascular conditioning, but it’s vastly inferior to weight training in attacking the "flab factor." Recent research has shown that as little as once-weekly resistance exercise can improve muscle strength. Even the busiest or laziest among us can find the time and energy for that. Join a gym, consult a personal trainer or ask an experienced friend to show you the ropes.

5. Maintain Your Optimal Weight. Current statistics suggest that half of us are losing the battle of the bulge, but maintaining a healthy weight is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You’ll look better, feel better and reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and other major killers. I know this is easier said than done, but if you just follow the four steps above, you’ll be well on your way.

6. Drink Alcohol Only in Moderation. You’ve probably heard of the "French Paradox," and that drinking wine protects against heart disease. Repeated studies have shown that drinking moderate amounts of alcohol (all kinds) protects not only against heart disease, but also lowers risk of death from all causes. Remember that moderation is key. While one to two drinks a day are protective, excess alcohol consumption is devastating to health. And for some, one drink is too many.

7. Protect Your Prostate. Around the age of 40, the prostate gland begins a growth spurt that results in symptoms such as frequent nighttime urination. The good news is that this condition, known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, can be prevented or reversed by taking extracts of two herbs: saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) and pygeum (Pygeum africanum). Dozens of studies have shown that these herbs work in improving urinary flow without adverse side-effects. Suggested doses are 160 to 320 milligrams of saw palmetto and 40 to 80 mg of pygeum daily.

8. Reduce Your Risk of Prostate Cancer. Experts estimate that 80 per cent of all cancers can be prevented by making healthy lifestyle choices. Avoid saturated and trans fats, which may fuel prostate cancer growth, and incorporate protective foods, such as soy, green tea and tomatoes, into your diet. Soy contains isoflavones with specific anti-cancer activity. Green tea is rich in polyphenols that inhibit the formation of cancer-causing compounds and block the growth of prostate cancer cells. And tomatoes, particularly cooked tomato products, are an excellent source of lycopene, which is linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer. In addition, make sure your daily nutritional supplement contains high doses of the antioxidant selenium (200 micrograms) and vitamin E (800 IU), which have been shown to dramatically lower the risk of prostate cancer.

9. Maintain Vigorous Sexual Function. Most cases of erectile dysfunction (impotence) have a physical cause: You’re just not getting enough blood to the area in question. To improve overall circulation, follow the diet, exercise and supplement recommendations above. If you’re taking drugs, review them with your doctor, as many can worsen erectile function and impair libido. Smoking also significantly impairs erectile function. Several herbs have been shown to improve sexual function. Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow to the penis, and Panax ginseng, oats, horny goat weed, maca and seroctin improve libido.

10. Maintain Close Relationships. Another thing women seem to do better than men is maintain close relationships. Make a point to strengthen ties with your family and friends. Volunteer work, religious ties, even pets–anything that keeps you involved with others–reduces stress and enhances health.

Take charge of your health by incorporating these 10 steps into your life. The rewards of optimal health and well-being will be well worth your efforts.

Foundation for Summer

2011-04-01T21:23:00.001+05:00

Changing your makeup style with the seasons is a natural as changing your wardrobe. In the hotter summer months, your goal is create a fresh, natural look and foundation can help you achieve it. Those that are lucky enough to have flawless skin may be able to go without it in the winter, but the rest of us still prefer to use foundation to help smooth out skin tone. Just because it’s hot, doesn’t mean your looks have to suffer. Here are a few tips on using foundation in the summer.

An important thing to remember when it comes to foundation is that your skin tone is likely darker in the summer than it is in the winter, so you may need to purchase a foundation that better suits your summer skin. It’s always best if you can buy foundation in a place with plenty of light, and natural light if possible, so you’ll get a better idea of how you’ll look when you leave the house. Do try to test a small amount of foundation before you buy, because the color could react with your skin and end up a slightly different color than how it looks in the bottle. Don’t forget to make sure the color will blend well with your neckline.
The type of foundation you use may be dependant on how hot it gets where you live. If you live in the hottest of temperatures in summer, try to find a foundation that advertises staying-power, which will help the foundation stay in place even on the hottest of days. Choose a liquid foundation over a cream, which will help your skin breathe and stay healthy. Always apply moisturizer before foundation, as this will help ensure that the foundation goes on smoothly and creates a uniform color. If you already have a foundation you love but want to adapt it for summer, try combining a small amount with an equally small amount of moisturizer, which will thin it out and provide you with a lighter coat.

Climate Change On the Living Earth,

2011-03-31T22:47:00.001+05:00

Most of you will know by now the main conclusions of the greatly respected Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's, 2007 report and I am sure that we all are proud that they were awarded this year's Nobel Peace Prize together with Al Gore. The report itself speaks of the real possibility of severe climate change but it is written in properly cautious scientific language and gives the impression that global heating is serious but the worst consequences are avoidable if we take appropriate action now. Inevitably the conclusions of the report need constant revision in the light of real climate change. Sadly, even the most pessimistic of the climate prophets of the IPCC panel do not appear to have noticed how rapidly the climate is changing.

My first intimation that we might be on the brink of disaster came in May 2004 when my wife Sandy and I visited the UK's primary climate research centre, the Hadley Centre. It is a place of excellence and an important part of the IPCC. While there we talked with a range of scientists; some were concerned with the melting of ice floating on the Arctic Ocean, others with Greenland's vanishing glaciers, and still others concerned with global heating in the tropics. Later in the day we heard from Peter Cox and Richard Betts about the way that the great tropical and boreal forests were changing as the world grew hotter. And we talked of our own concern about the way the ocean life was disappearing as the surface waters warmed. These climate scientists with whom we talked spoke of their observations and models of global heating in the regions that each of them were investigating. Taken separately, each of these regional investigations presented convincing evidence of positive feedback and accelerating change. They told of their research in detail but in a detachedproperly scientific manner -- almost as if they were describing some other planet, not the Earth. This was in itself disturbing; much more so was the fact that those concerned, for example, with the melting of polar ice, although aware of a similar vanishing of the tropical forests, seemed to present their own research as something separate from the heating of the whole planet. There was also a tendency to present the whole Earth system as if it was no more than the simple addition of its parts. Something, I knew was rarely ever true of a dynamic system. Sandy and I left with a deep sense that what we had heard was truly serious and the visit profoundly changed my view of the future.

PAKISTAN: The State of Religious Freedom in Pakistan

2011-03-31T22:26:00.001+05:00

The development of multiethnic societies has increased the importance of freedom of religion, and the concept of freedom of conscience has helped in redefining religion. Religion does not have to be theist or dependent on a god. Any sincere belief in ethical qualities is religious because such qualities as truth, love and beauty are sacred, and the advancement of any such belief is the advancement of religion.
Justice Clark of the U.S. Supreme Court in United States vs. Seager in 1965 observed: 'A sincere and meaningful belief, which occupies in the life of its possessor a place parallel to that filled by the God of those admittedly qualifying for exemption on the grounds of religion, comes within the statutory definition.'
Thirty-five years later while addressing the Millennium World Peace Summit on Aug. 29, 2000, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Anan said the fundamental right to freedom of religion encompasses 'the right to worship; to establish and maintain places of worship; to write, publish and teach; to celebrate holidays; to choose their own religious leader; and to communicate to others at home and abroad.' He called on governments to uphold these freedoms and added: 'Where governments and authorities fail to protect these freedoms, it is at once an affront and a menace.'
The concept of freedom, liberty and human rights have with the passage of time developed with human civilisation. The United Nations, of course, facilitated this process of development and provided a forum to think and decide together as people belonging to different religions, creeds, cultures and races to evolve a treatise to live together in the pluralistic societies of today. This development of thought and learning has set standard legislation internationally for governments to follow and practice. Any violation of these rights becomes a concern for the world community; but if these rights are usurped at the state level in basic documents, like the Constitution and statute law, then the situation becomes grave for the community and poses a serious threat to the members of the global village as well.
Therefore, religious freedom has to be examined on a broader canvas. Apart from freedom to profess and propagate religion and freedom to manage religious affairs and institutions, such subjects as religion and social tolerance, religion and politics and religion and economics are equally important. The dominance of a particular religion in a State or a social structure will eventually entail complications in different fields of life. Freedom of religion must not exist for one and be restricted and limited for another because freedom for one is freedom for another in equal measure.
Although the extent of religious freedom may be measured by the State's basic document, the Constitution, the exercise and enjoyment of such a right is however dependent on the socio-political philosophy and the socio-cultural environment that exists in that state. In the case of Pakistan, there has been tremendous drift downwards in the context of religious freedom. Its founders were rather more clear about providing religious freedom to the country's citizens in 1947 when the new nation of Pakistan emerged as a result of the partition of India and the exit of the British colonialists from the Indian sub-continent. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the father of the nation and the Qaid-e-Azam, while giving his presidential address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan in Karachi on Aug. 11, 1947, said:
'[Y]ou are free to go to your temples; you are free to go to mosques or any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed; that has nothing to do with the business of the State.'
The situation, however, changed soon after his sad demise on Sept. 11, 1948. The infant nation fell prey to the palace intrigues and hobnobbing of the politicians with the establishment. The vested interests took refuge in religion and used religious parlance in the socio-political field. A radical change was introduced in the socio-political corpus through the Objectives Resolution passed by the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan on March 12, 1949, which provided an Islamic base to the new nation. This was a departure from the stand taken earlier by the country's founders.
More than half a century has passed since then. During this period, massive change has occurred in its socio-political life. It is now a nation ridden with sectarian conflicts and is suffering from an identity crises. There has never been a true democratic order in the country. Half of its national life has been under military rule, and the military junta is once again ruling the country. Corruption and intrigues for power are rampant. Its economy is in a deep crisis with its foreign debt amounting to US billion, and the internal debt is no less. Moreover, since May 1998, it has become a nuclear power. It exploded six nuclear bombs to make such a dangerous declaration, threatening peace in the region in the process. In addition, it spends 80 percent of its budget on defence and debt servicing. Its literacy rate is hardly 30 percent whereas its population growth rate is 3 percent.
In order to examine the fundamental rights of the country's citizens, including religious freedom, a brief reference to the three Constitutions framed and enforced in 1956, 1962 and 1973 is necessary. The first two Constitutions were abrogated by the martial law regimes whereas the 1973 Constitution was held in abeyance by Gen. Zia ul-Haq, the military dictator who captured power by overthrowing an elected government on July 5, 1977. After four interim and four elected governments from 1988 to 1999, the country is again under military rule since Oct. 12, 1999, headed by Gen. Pervaiz Musharaf.
Article 18 of the 1956 Constitution provided the right of religious freedom:
'Subject to law, public order and morality,
(a) every citizen shall have the right to profess, practice and propagate his religion, and
(b) every religious denomination and every sect thereof shall have the right to establish, maintain and manage its religious institutions.'
Article 10 of the 1962 Constitution and Article 20 of the 1973 Constitution also guarantee this right in the same language. The import of the words used in all three
Constitutions embraces two concepts: freedom to believe and freedom to act. The phrase 'subject to law, public order or morality' has often been subjected to sectarian affiliations, and non-Muslim citizens have been denied their right of religious freedom, either defeating justice by inordinately delayed court decisions or by the supremacy of the Shariah of Islam. Meanwhile, the executive authorities are mostly influenced by the militant religious zealots who have played havoc with society.
Article 2 of the 1973 Constitution postulates that 'Islam shall be the state religion of Pakistan.' Such a basic constitutional change could only happen by the year 1973 when the religious lobby had grown strong enough to exert such pressure. This demonstrates the influence of the religious forces on state institutions. The 1973 Constitution was framed and enforced during the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto whose election manifesto was based on Islamic socialism.
It was during this time that the policy of appeasement toward the religious lobby was made the basis of state policy. Z. A. Bhutto proclaimed Ahmadies out of the pale of Islam by declaring them to be non-Muslims through the Constitution (Second Amendment) Act of 1974. This amendment has had serious implications for this religious group as they were later persecuted at the state level through legislation, which caused ridicule and humiliation to their creed and leader. While Z. A. Bhutto was loosening the political ground, he, in order to please the religious lobby, declared Sunday as a working day and Friday as a holiday, and he ordered the prohibition of liquor. However, these supposedly Islamic steps could not help him hold the seat of power as his government was overthrown by a military coup headed by Gen. Zia ul-Haq in 1977.
This process of change accelerated during the martial law period from 1977 to 1987 of Gen. Zia, who took upon himself to Islamise the society. The Objectives Resolution, which had served as a preamble to the Constitutions of 1956, 1962 and 1973, was made a substantive part of the Constitution by the incorporation of Article 2-A and was placed as an annexure to this article. While serving as a preamble, the sixth paragraph of the Objectives Resolution read as follows:
'An adequate provision shall be made for the minorities freely to profess and practice their religion and develop their culture.'
However, the word freely was deleted from the text when it was placed as an annexure to Article 2-A. It was deliberately a malafide act on the part of the military ruler to delete this important word freely, which later had serious repercussions in the socio-political structure. It introduced an element of religious extremism, and the sectarian legislation made thereafter promoted religious discrimination against the country's minorities. In order to gain religious support for his government, Gen. Zia collaborated with the religious fundamentalists. Thus, the religious fundamentalists, who never were voted into the national or state assemblies, were brought to the corridors of power through administrative measures.
The religious parties, like Jamaat-i-Islami, operating in the field of politics were encouraged by the military government. They kept embarrassing each government and the various political forces by exercising influence by playing the religious card. Meanwhile, religious extremist organisations, like Sipahe Sahaba, sharpened the sectarian divide. These groups introduced violence, killing members of other groups in the name of religion. Its members openly marched in public displaying lethal weapons and overawed their opponents in particular and the public in general. There was the implied patronage of the government for the armed militancy of these religious extremists. It was during this time that armed militant groups, like Daawat ul Irshad, emerged to carry out a 'jihad' in Afghanistan and later in Kashmir. Similar religious groups sprung up like mushrooms that spread a culture of violence and hate. The religious minorities were not alone in their fear of these groups, for even the Muslims felt scared and insecure at the hands of these zealots masquerading in the name of religion and jihad.
In the process of Islamisation that Gen. Zia initiated, a number of pieces of sectarian legislation were promulgated.
First of all, his Islamic version of criminal law was introduced into the Pakistan Penal Code by providing Islamic punishment in the form of Hudood Laws. The Offences against Property (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance of 1979 related to theft cases. The word hadd used in Islamic criminal laws meant 'punishment ordained by the holy Qur'an or Sunnah.' The punishment for theft liable to hadd for the person committing the offence of theft for the first time is amputation of his right hand from the joint of the wrist; and if such a person commits the offence a second time, he shall be punished with amputation of his left foot up to the ankle. The proof of theft liable to hadd requires the evidence of 'at least two Muslim adult male witnesses who are supposed to be truthful persons who abstain from major sins.' Section 25 of this ordinance provides that the presiding officer of the court shall be a Muslim.
The second ordinance was called the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance of 1979. Zina was defined thus: 'A man and a woman are said to commit zina if they wilfully have sexual intercourse without being validly married to each other.' The punishment of this offence is stoning to death in a public place or 100 lashes of a whip in a public place. The proof of zina shall require the evidence of at least four Muslim adult male witnesses about whom the court is satisfied that they are truthful and abstain from major sins and have witnessed the act of penetration. Once again, the presiding officer of the court shall be a Muslim. Both of these ordinances, however, are applicable to non-Muslims as well.
The next law initiated by Gen. Zia was the Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order of 1979, which prohibited the use of liquor. Christians may use liquor for religious ceremonies by obtaining liquor permits issued by the government. The punishment for the use, manufacture, bottling, possession and transportation of liquor under this law includes life imprisonment or not less than imprisonment for two years along with whippingÐnot exceeding 30 lashesÐand the offender shall also be liable to a fine. The evidence of 'at least two Muslim adult male witnesses' who lead life according to the injunctions of Islam is required to prove this offence.
In addition to these laws and their effects on non-Muslims, the testimony of non-Muslim citizens has been rendered secondary to that of a Muslim as it is adjudged and measured in terms of the principles laid down in the Qur'an and Sunnah under the new Evidence Act with an Islamic nameÐthe Qanoon -e- Shahadat of 1984.
Furthermore, a supraconstitutional enactmentÐthe Enforcement of Shariah Act of 1991Ðwas promulgated. Section 3 of the act declares that 'the Shariah, that is to say, the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah, shall be the supreme law of Pakistan.' However, Section 4 of the act states that laws shall be interpreted in the light of the Shariah. This act makes it obligatory for the State to undertake the Islamisation of education (Section 7), the Islamisation of the economy (Section 8), the Islamisation of the mass media (Section 9) and the Islamisation of the judicial system (Section 14).
Although Section 1(4) of the act says that personal laws, religious freedom, traditions, customs and the way of life of non-Muslims shall not be affected, the practical position belies this statuary assurance. When every field of life shall be tuned according to the injunctions laid down in the Qur'an and Sunnah, how on earth is it possible for minorities to practice their personal laws, enjoy religious freedom and lead their own way of life? Thus, there has been a serious invasion against the personal laws of non-Muslims because the laws are interpreted according to the injunctions of Islam.
I may state that ours is a feudal society. The abduction of non-Muslim women is a common feature. The Muslim abductor forcibly takes away a married Christian or Hindu woman and, in order to avoid the rigors of the penal law, converts the abductee to Islam and undergoes the procedure of Islamic marriage with her. The whole exercise is undertaken in such a mechanical manner that a sheer mockery is made of the law. Since the Shariah has become the supreme law, and the statute law has to be interpreted according to the injunctions of Islam, her earlier marriage under the Christian Marriage Act practically stands dissolved ipso facto. Why? Because she has supposedly embraced Islam and she, being a Muslim, is prohibited from marrying a non-Muslim. As the Shariah has to prevail, the institution of Christian marriage is rendered a fragile thing, and the personal law of non-Muslim citizens becomes meaningless.
Moreover, the Federal Shariat Court has been constituted, which has set up a parallel judicial system in the country. This court works as a court of appeal for criminal cases tried under Shariah law. Under Article 203-D of the Constitution, the Federal Shariat Court has been empowered to strike down any statute law which may be deemed repugnant to the injunctions of Islam. As a result, it has dealt a serious blow to the supremacy of Parliament.
There are also other implications. A practising lawyer, who is not a Muslim, faces discrimination and is deprived of their fundamental right to pursue their profession under Article 18 of the Constitution; for under the rules of the Federal Shariat Court, they cannot appear and practice if they are a non-Muslim lawyer. On the other hand, Islamic criminal law is applicable to them.
A stunning blow causing serious damage to the socio-political status of non-Muslim citizens was administered through amendments to the electoral laws and the country's Constitution whereby an apartheid mode of separate electorates was imposed on the nation in general and non-Muslim citizens in particular. The electoral lists have now been separated into Muslim and non-Muslim voters. Both cannot vote for each other during elections as electoral constituencies have been separated on sectarian lines into five religious groupsÐone for Muslims and the other four for non-Muslim citizens. The so-called 'representation' of minorities under separate electorates has thus further divided them on sectarian lines. There has never been any legislative move by the minority politicians to better the lives of their electorate as their votes are pawned with the ruling party for personal gain. This apartheid mode of separate electorates has thrown the non-Muslim citizens of Pakistan out of the mainstream of national life. They are now second-class citizens. They no longer take part in the business of the State. The right to vote stands classified on religious lines, and citizens are deprived of their ability to fully enjoy the right of adult franchise. They thus stand marginalised.
The law on blasphemy also belongs to the era when the country was under the military rule of Gen. Zia. The offences relating to religion have been given in Sections 295, 295-A, 295-B, 295-C, 296, 297, 298, 298-A, 298-B and 298-C of the Pakistan Penal Code. Section 295-B, for example, makes it an offence to defile, damage and desecrate the Holy Qur'an, a crime which is punishable with life imprisonment. Section 295-C prescribes a mandatory death penalty for anyone found to have by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representation or by any imputation, innuendo or insinuation, directly or indirectly, defiled the sacred name of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. It neither defines the terms used, such as 'defilement,' nor looks into the criminal intent of the alleged offender. This law has been frequently and ruthlessly abused for religious persecution and for settling personal scores. Christians and Ahmadies have been the most hard-hit victims of this law. It has consistently been urged by human rights organisations that laws which criminalise the profession and practice of religion must be brought to an end.
As a matter of fact, the State's basic document, i.e., the Constitution, does not recognise non-Muslims as full citizens because only Muslim citizens qualify for public offices of the State. A few glaring examples are mentioned below. Article 41, for instance, relates to the office of the president:
'(1) There shall be a president of Pakistan who shall be the head of state and shall represent the unity of the republic.
'(2) A person shall not be qualified for election as president unless he is a Muslim of not less than 45 years of age and is qualified to be elected as a member of the National Assembly.'
The oath of office for president under Article 42 and for prime minister under Article 91(4) is:
'I, _____, do solemnly swear that I am a Muslim and believe in the unity and oneness of Almighty Allah, the Books of Allah, the Holy Qur'an being the last of them, the Prophethood of Muhammad (peace be upon him) as last of the Prophets and that there can be no Prophet after him, the day of judgement and all the requirements and teachings of the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah.'
Meanwhile, the text for the oath of office of a federal minister or minister of state under Article 92(2), for speaker of the National Assembly or chairman of the Senate under Articles 53(2) and 61, for deputy speaker of the National Assembly or deputy chairman of the Senate under Articles 53(2) and 61, for members of the National Assembly or members of the Senate under Article 65, for the governor of provinces under Article 102, for chief minister or provincial minister under Articles 131(4) and 132(2), for speaker of a provincial assembly under Articles 3(2) and 127, for deputy speaker of a provincial assembly under Articles 53(2) and 127 and for members of a provincial assembly under Articles 6S and 127 is:
'That I will strive to preserve the Islamic ideology which is the basis for the creation of Pakistan.'
These constitutional provisions do not allow a non-Muslim citizen of Pakistan to hold these public offices of the State.

The legislative measures introduced to Islamise the society leave no room for non-Muslims to freely profess and practice their religion. Sectarian legislation based on the supremacy of one particular religion has promoted a culture of religious intolerance. Religion has played a vital role in human development; but wherever and whenever it has been used for purposes opposed to its inherent spirit of peace, brotherhood and social justice, it has not only lost its relevance in the process of social development, but its image has been also tarnished in the minds of those who are subjected to oppressive measures adopted in the name of religion.
Whenever the government displays unnecessary fervour for its policies in the religious field for the mere appeasement of the clerics, it whips up hostility against progressive forces, women and particularly the religious minorities. In 1997, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif himself lobbied for support for the 15th Constitutional Bill, commonly known as the Shariah Bill. The National Assembly members belonging to the Pakistan Muslim League (PML), without a word of debate on the subject, passed the bill under party mandate. The ousted prime minister, however, could not manage passage of the bill in the Senate. It was the same year in 1997 that Shanti Nagar, a Christian village in southern Punjab Province, was set ablaze with sentiments of hate and hostility by Muslim zealots who ravaged it by throwing fire bombs and torching churches, holy books, schools, hostels and clinics run by different denominations of Christians. This tragic attack with such religious frenzy still haunts the people there, and the government has failed to build up confidence among them.
The instances of socio-religious violence, hate and discrimination to which the members of religious minorities are subjected across the country are innumerable. The religious extremists are playing havoc in society, which is engulfed by a wild wave of sectarianism. Religious fundamentalism has grown beyond proportions. Muslim clerics are demanding the complete imposition of the Shariah in Pakistan. The minorities feel insecure as the Islamic fundamentalists are being promoted and jihadi forces are being patronised.
The present military rulers since their arrival in October 1999 have talked much about good governance and accountability. They have even organised a convention on human rights at the government level in Islamabad, declaring an agenda to defend and promote the marginalised sections of society. Since then, however, they have made a number of retreats in favour of the religious extremists. Their somersaults on the issues of the blasphemy law and joint electorates are flagrant violations of the commitments they made with the local and world community. This is sheer ad hocism and opportunism. Thus, the policy of appeasement toward the religious clerics is also being adopted by the current military regime. This policy has gradually drifted society toward the brink of the abyss.
The situation is too grave to be ignored. The government's conduct as a silent spectator provides implied patronage to theocratic elements. This approach fans orthodoxy, obscurantism, retrogression, socio-religious intolerance and armed violence in the name of religion. This atmosphere of violence and hate is suffocating the lives of the people.

The religious minorities are an integral part of the people of Pakistan. The present unjust, undemocratic and anti-people system can be turned into a tolerant, civilised and democratic society only if its people become through their struggle a dominant political force. However, a few recommendations are made below for adopting measures to better the situation.
(1) Although it is the political will of the people of Pakistan to redefine the ideological frontiers of the State, however, the internationally acknowledged principles of legislation should be observed to maintain a civil society, ensuring fundamental rights to the citizens of the federation belonging to different religions, races, languages and cultures.
(2) Discriminatory legislation violating the religious, social, political, economic and cultural rights of minorities should be repealed.
(3) The apartheid mode of separate electorates, which has thrown the religious minorities out of the mainstream of national life and has rendered them second-class citizens, should be immediately abolished.
(4) The blasphemy law, which casts the net wide open to rope in anyone for religious persecution or for settling personal scores, should be revoked.
(5) The print and electronic media should be fully utilised to educate the people about how to build a strong civil society.
(6) The so-called jihadi forces that are spreading hate and violence should be immediately disarmed and banned.
(7) Elements of the educational curriculum that distort history and encourage hate and religious extremism should be purged, for they promote a culture of violence.

6:::Tips for Parents When Your Child Has Problems at School:

2011-03-31T22:04:00.001+05:00

This brings me to my first tip for parents when their child is having trouble at school:
Tip #1: It’s not about you. It’s about your child, and what is best for him. As much as you can, put personal feelings aside and focus on your child.
James reminded me again before we went into our meeting: “It’s not about you. It’s not about how you feel about the teacher. It’s about our son.” And then he said, “To be honest, our kid can be a bit of a pain in the neck sometimes and the teacher has 30 other students she needs to deal with. Let’s really try to find a way to work with her.”
We went to the meeting and presented ourselves as wanting to work with the school instead of against the school. We weren’t blaming the school; we were trying to be realistic about our son—both his behavior and his needs.
And even though at first I was angry at the school for not noticing our son’s issues sooner, I was grateful to his third grade teacher for noticing what was going on. Up until third grade, our son had been able to use charm to get by in school. But charming wasn’t going to make it in the third grade, where they introduce more challenging content and a lot of new learning. Fortunately, his teacher saw through that act and realized it was a bit of a cover for some of his learning struggles.

This brings me to my second tip:
Tip #2: Generally speaking, blaming the school or your child’s teacher won’t do any good. As much as is possible, work with school administrators and teachers. Partner with them instead of making an adversary out of them.
In my opinion, the only way to create success is to partner with the school. If you’re really struggling with your child’s teacher, find somebody else who you can create that relationship with. Pinpoint someone in the school who you can work with—it could be a guidance counselor, school social worker, a coach, or even the principal. This person will be able to advocate for your child more effectively than you can in some instances, and might also be able to shoot you an email when they notice something or feel like your child needs some extra help.
Our whole family worked especially hard during third grade: we put in a lot of time sending notes back and forth to our son’s teacher and keeping her abreast of his progress. James would also sit with our son and do homework every night. He never did the work for him—he was just there to answer questions and give him help if he needed it. I won’t lie—at first, it was a bit of a struggle. But as our son did more homework, his classroom performance improved, which then encouraged him to do more homework. It became a positive circle or a “win-win” situation for him.
So my third tip is:
Tip #3: Communicate regularly with the school. At home, sit with your child if possible and help him through his homework assignments.
I think one of the key things our son realized was that his teacher and his parents were going to hold him responsible for his own work. He couldn’t get out of it, because everyone had joined together to make sure he succeeded and got through the year. We also attended an evaluation meeting for him where testing was recommended. He had some tests done and it was discovered that he had a mild learning disability. As a result, the teachers arranged for some accommodations so he could do certain things differently. So again, the school was taking some responsibility to help him, but even more importantly, our son was gradually taking responsibility for his learning.
Tip #4: Your child is responsible for his own work; it’s vital that he knows that he’s being held accountable by you and his teachers. If your child has an issue with the work he’s doing, and you believe he is sincerely struggling with the work, talk to the teacher. If the struggle persists even with teacher help and parental support, have him tested professionally immediately to determine whether or not he has a learning disability.
For the most part, we found our son’s teachers to be dedicated and receptive, but through the years, he did have some experiences with teachers he wasn’t particularly crazy about. We thought that was an important life lesson for our son: he wasn’t going to like everyone and not everyone was going to treat him as fairly as everybody should be treated. I think dealing with these teachers helped prepare him for the real world, where he’d have to work with folks who might not be as understanding of his needs as others. We made sure to never criticize his teachers when our son was complaining about one he didn’t get along with. Openly complaining only encourages your child to blame the teacher for his problems, and to stop being accountable for his schoolwork.
Tip #5: When your child complains about school, don’t join with him in criticizing his teacher. By being in that teacher’s classroom, your child is learning an important lesson.
Don’t badmouth the teacher along with your child. There’s the potential that you could make the situation much worse by doing so. Remember, you’re only going to hear the story from your child’s perspective. If he doesn’t like the teacher and you fuel that dislike, it’s only going to make it worse for your child who is in that classroom so many hours every day. Again, the most important thing is to try to join with the teacher if possible so that your child becomes responsible and can’t deflect that responsibility to a “bad” or a “mean” teacher.
Also, I believe it’s important to recognize that teachers have a really hard job. They generally respect parents who are aiding them by helping their child learn. The fact that James and I would take the time to write notes to the teacher and sit with our son and do homework was time well spent, from the teacher’s point of view. That’s an investment, and teachers respect parental investments in their child’s learning.
Teachers also want to feel support from parents for what happens in the classroom. I’ve seen parents immediately take their child’s side and not take the time to get the full picture from the school staff or teachers. I believe it’s important to see the full picture. You may not like it when you get it, but at least you’ve taken the time to get the other side of the story.
James used to say, “Sometimes it’s easier to fight with the school than fight with your kid.” After all, you can walk away from the school and go home. It’s a lot harder to hold your child accountable and sit and do the work with him—especially if he is defiant or has other behavioral issues. But in the long run, holding him responsible is the best thing for his future.

Tip #6: Recognize that your child’s teacher has a difficult job. Get the full picture when there is a situation at school—don’t simply rely on your child’s retelling of the story, because he will only see things from his point of view.
It’s often really intimidating to get that initial call from your child’s school. Sometimes it brings up feelings you had when you were a kid. Maybe you acted out a bit or had some struggles with learning yourself; perhaps you didn’t feel smart enough or good enough. Often, a parent’s first response, given their own experience, is to fight the system. And believe me, I had some of those feelings. Thank goodness for James. He was able to turn my thinking around and really take it off me and focus it on our son. It was a turning point for me as a parent and in the way I viewed myself as a social worker.
I believe that one of the keys to helping your child succeed in school is really a lot more parental involvement in general. They may never realize how helpful some of the school folks have been. They may never appreciate the fact that you’ve sat there every night and helped them do their homework. But if you can see their success, you know you’ve done the right thing.

Who Won the Super Bowl 2011 and How

2011-03-31T07:27:00.001+05:00

It is a no brainer now to name who won the Super Bowl XLV and ruled the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Green Bay Packers General Manager was evidently upbeat about the performance of his team. For Aaron Rodgers, it was a pleasure and a dream come true to hold and admire the coveted Vince Lombardi trophy. It was a dream he had nurtured for long in his heart, watching stalwarts play when he was a kid. Aaron Rodgers, for that matter was playing up and down all night with over 300 yards passing and no interceptions. Although he eventually played well enough to see the Packers home and emerge as winners of super bowl 2011. The win is special for the Packers as in spite of a flurry of injuries crippling the team, they beat the odds and came out to be in the list of Super Bowl winners once again.

Another extremely crucial reason as to why the Packers turned out to be the Super Bowl 2011 winner was the fact that the offensive flank of the Packers was pretty much at its best. On the other side, three turnovers was what spelled doom for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Actually, thanks to Big Ben and Rashard Mendenhall, the Steelers were never alarmingly way behind the Packers. A bit more of ball control and the result could have been different. The turning point of the game was perhaps when Greg Jennings caught his second touchdown pass from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers got a 28-17 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers. This was when just less than 12 minutes were left in the Super Bowl. Eventually Packers too built on their score and team became the NFL Super Bowl 2011 winner. The Super Bowl 2011 results indicated it clearly!

All in all Packers lived up to their tradition of being in the list of most Super Bowl wins. It was heart breaking for Pittsburgh Steelers, as they put up a tough fight after Christina Aguilera's performance. This is what looks like, the mettle of super bowl winners, one feels after seeing the Packers perform with all their heart, as a team and this is what a Super Bowl 2011 winner is all about!
