The Valley of Seven Lakes

Girgan, the valley of seven lakes is the most attractive, beautiful and natural scenic spot of Peer Panchal region. This valley falls in Poonch district OF JAMMU & KASHMIR , INDIA. It is about 60 km, east of Poonch City and situated about 10,000 to 15000' above the see level. The valley starts from the top of Bharamgala (Chai) mountain and goes up to Raviwali Dhok which is touching the last corner of Budhal Tehsil. This valley remains under Snow Cover for about five months during winter season. This valley is about 42 km long and 17 km in breadth. There are about 27 lakes in this valley but sever are renowned lakes known as Nandansar, Chandansar, Sukhsar, Baghsar, Akaldakshni, Neelsar and Gumsar.This scenic spot is located at 11500 feet above the sea level.Forest belt is far below from the meadow. The view of sunrise and sunset cannot be expressed in words. The valley of seven lakes can easily be developed for adventurous tourism, because a number of passes and paths leading towards Kashmir, valley falls in this track which can attract trackers. While the hilltops like Kaajalana and Nandansar top are suitable for climbers

Who is Mr Right?

One who likes, loves, cares, trusts and does not believe in violence. A combination of Mr Right and Miss Perfect entails mutual respect and the ability and strength to together take reverses in stride. It is a question of striking correct rapport and having right credentials. This is a traditional viewpoint. The new philosophy includes this and at least one more aspect. A team of Harvard University researchers has found that being married to a smoker can significantly raise risk of a stroke. It goes beyond previous studies that have indicated the dangers of stroke to smokers alone. The conclusion now is that tying the knot to a smoker increases the chance of suffering a heart stroke by up to 72 per cent. It is based on an analysis of records of more than 16000 people in the United States aged over 50 and their spouses over a period of nine years. On the positive side is the observation: "The health benefits of quitting smoking likely extend beyond individual smokers to affect their spouses potentially multiplying the benefits of smoking." One tends to believe that aspirants for happy and healthy wedded life will draw proper lessons from this finding. It is better not to puff. Smoking is a disaster for married life.

GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Ninety-six percent of salt water is pure water. There is 3 percent common salt in it. The remaining one percent is made up of more than 80 elements, including sulphate, magnesium, bromide, calcium, potassium, strontium, boron, fluoride and gold. Some seas have more salt than others.
The Pacific Ocean is three times bigger than Asia, the biggest continent on Earth. It covers nearly one-third of the Earth’s surface. Its widest part is about 1,770 km or 11,000 miles. That distance would take you halfway around the world.

Just one part oil per million parts water will make drinking water smell and taste funny. One gallon of petrol can contaminate 750,000 gallons of water.

If you could weigh all the water that falls on a single acre of land during one inch of rainfall, it would weigh 113 tons — that is 226,000 pounds. The amount of water on earth has remained the same since the planet was created some 4,500 million years ago.

Without clouds and other constituents of the earth’s atmosphere, the surface of our planet would reach a temperature of 176 degree centigrade at the equator by day and minus 220 degree centigrade by night!

Battling against cholesterol

Heart diseases are one of the leading causes of death and some are more liable to suffer from it because of their genetic make-up. In addition to the genetic predisposition, acquired factors like our eating habits add fuel to the fire. But it is never too early or too late to protect our heart. Scientific evidence is indisputable that lowering your cholesterol reduces your risk of contracting a heart disease and of dying from a heart attack. The cholesterol-lowering plan is as tasty as it is effective. Here is a list of cholesterol-lowering foods that will satisfy our stomach and keep us healthy.
Flax seeds: These are the seeds of flax plant. They contain several essential nutrients like calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorus and vitamin E. They are a rich source of omega-3 fats that are good for heart.
Ways to include flax seeds in home cooking are mentioned below:
* Sprinkle ground seeds on cereal and salads.
* Substitute a flax seed mix for eggs in home baking.
* Substitute flax seed oil for other oils.

Enchanting waterfalls of Courtallam

An interesting holiday spot in South India, Courtallam is famous for its Courtallam Falls in the Western Ghats. Though the falls are located in Tamil Nadu, it also shares the boundary of Kollam district of Kerala State. Also known as Kuttralam Falls, it has gained an extreme popularity, since the water here is believed to have great curative properties for a number of skin problems and even nerve disorders, as they run through a forest of herbs.
The nine waterfalls at Courtallam are - Main Falls (Peraruvi), Small Falls (Chittaruvi), Chembakadevi (Shenbaga) Falls, Honey Falls (Thenaruvi), Five Falls (Aintharuvi), Tiger Falls (Puliaruvi), Old Courtallam Falls (Pazhaya Courtallam), New Falls (Puthu Aruvi), Fruit Garden Falls or Orchard Falls (Pazhathotta Arvui). Besides the water falls, the town is famous for its two temples, Thirukuttralanathar dedicated to Lord Shiva and another one dedicated to Lord Muruga.

Try liquid meal for that rejuvenated feeling

Most of us experience digestion problems during summer months. Many can’t take food for the entire season owing to gastric problems. Skip a meal or two of solid food and introduce a liquid diet once in a while. It not just makes you feel rejuvenated but also detoxifies and recharges your whole system.
So far we’ve been managing on grandma’s good old nuskhas of chhach (butter milk) or nimbu pani or aam panna. But this too gets boring beyond a point and though does cool off the system, doesn’t carry great nutritional values. These days some restaurants too offer a great combination of nutrition and taste without feeding us too many empty calories. So be it a take off from the heat or a detox regime, liquid diet is the way to go for at least five-six days once in a while this season.

Try this
Never skip your breakfast. Breakfast is the first chance the body has to refuel its glucose levels, also known as blood sugar, after eight to 12 hours without a meal or snack.
Morning meal: Fruit juice 1 cup; hot cereal 1/2 cup; eggnog 8 oz; whole milk 8 oz; hot tea with sugar and lemon.
Lunch and dinner: Strained creamed soup 3/4 cup; juice 1 cup; ice cream 1/2 cup; pudding or custard 1/2 cup; whole milk 8 oz; hot tea with sugar and lemon

We have full rights to fight against Politicians...

Bisexuality: The Desire Of the Other

Of course, another reason why bisexuality makes people feel uncomfortable is that it calls into question their own sexual orientation - more than homosexuality presents a challenge to heterosexuals, and vice-versa. This is because it confronts people with the idea that sexuality does not consist of polar opposites but is more of a continuum, and moreover one which people can move along at different stages in their life, or from one relationship to the next. This means that their own straight or gay orientation might not be as stable or unambiguous as they would like to think.
Attraction can take place at many different levels, including those of consciousness and the unconscious. Equally, while not all attraction is sexual - in the sense of seeking some form of physical sexual release - it always involves some element of desire.

The disconnect between desire and the physical sexual urge or need (bound up with reproduction) has been well explored by psychoanalysts. And this disconnect can involve a separation and re-combination of the psychological and physical ‘objects’ of desire.Other-sex and same-sex attraction possibly always expresses the paradox that the other is fantasised as the embodiment of ‘my other’: the other part of myself that is beyond my conscious self-image as a man or woman, as gay or straight - my other half; the one I desire because I do not yet fully possess him or her. Do we perhaps always in this way love in the other an Other self?

We never recapture this unity of the self and the other in this life; our desire is never satisfied; attraction can always surprise us and draw us out.

The Technology Innovation of the Year

Technology leaders at the Brainstorm Tech conference, organized by the Fortune magazine, were asked about the most exciting technology innovation they had seen in the past 12 months. The following article summarizes the answers, and contains this statement. "An astonishing number - about half - said the iPhone was the most exciting thing they'd seen." I find that sad. Rebecca McKinnon, who mentions this statistic on her blog, uses the expression "amazingly and somewhat disappointingly." It is not difficult to understand why: the iPhone is, ultimately, a fashion object that fulfills no greater purpose in society. You could be forgiven for thinking that technology leaders, invited to a high-visibility summit, would cite innovations that contribute to the greater good. Some do (the other half of the respondents), and list the following: cloud computing/Web services, one laptop per child, and even "the use of algae to create oil", which at least suggests an awareness of the great engineering challenges ahead of us, and of current efforts to address them.

My own vote for this survey would be cast for the Metropolitan Opera's high-definition, live broadcasts of performances during the season and, in a related vein, the use of Internet2 connections to bring live classical concerts to university campuses. This allows people to discover the power of opera and music in a way that simply is not possible through, say, a car radio, while spending very little (if anything) for the concert. Of course, if the iPhone fulfills no greater purpose in society, one can ask what opera adds to the grand scheme of things. I am not going to enter that debate - some people out there will always be convinced art is superfluous. But focus on the technology rather than its current application for a second: live broadcasting technologies make it possible to reach - educate - clusters of people throughout the country. If it works for opera, why not for presidential debates? State of the Union addresses? It is common knowledge in psychology that experiences in bright colors, on large screens and at loud volumes are remembered more vividly - the most widely used technique in post-traumatic stress disorders is to picture the difficult memory in one's head and change its modalities: darken the image, make it smaller, decrease the sounds, etc. The appeal of the Met's high-definition, live broadcasts in particular is that they give patrons an "in your face" experience, with better views than if they had attended the actual opera at Lincoln Center. The immediacy of it is what draws in the crowds. Maybe it is time we treated political events as we treat opera performances. I am not sure if McCain would be a people magnet, but I could see Obama fans crowding every single movie theater in the country. Now let's just hope their man doesn't turn into an opera diva.

How Men Really Think About Sex Discover 3 key insights into the mystery of male sexuality

1. Sexual Identity
The best metaphor to describe a man's psyche is that of a seamless fabric. Men see themselves as a whole entity. If they feel good about their sex life then that sense of adequacy spills over into other important parts of their experience. And conversely, if their sex life is floundering, then the rest cannot be too far behind, they reason. Men have much less ability to confine their sexual experience into one small part of the whole.

While a woman might say she's happy in her marriage even if the sex isn't all that great and hasn't been for a long time, her husband would tend to say their marriage is in jeopardy. There is much more resting on the sexual connection—for most men, anyway—because sex says more to a man about himself.

2. Sexual Affirmation

I have wondered, along with many women I'm sure, why sex seems to mean so much to a man. How does a tryst so basic, so fundamentally simple, cut through all the underbrush of a man's life and touch something at the core of him? George Gilder, in his wonderful book, Men and Marriage, puts words to this mystery. Gilder calls women the "sexually superior" gender. Only one sexual act—intercourse—reflects to a man that indeed, he is a man. And in that act, performance is vital. A woman can relate to a man sexually whether she is into the experience or not. If a man cannot perform sexually, it's a "show-stopper," as they say. Gilder writes:
Men must perform. … The man is less secure sexually than the woman because his sexuality is dependent on action, and he can act sexually only through a precarious process difficult to control. For men the desire for sex is not simply a quest for pleasure.

3. Sexual Angst
When a man chooses a woman to marry, he knows he is limiting his sexual options to her alone. In the arms of this one woman, he rests the most emotionally vulnerable aspect of his being.

In talking to couples, a woman's pain in a relationship comes out clearly, and usually rather quickly. She longs (and rightly so) for a man who will truly hear her and understand what she's up against. "I bare my soul to my husband and he just stares at me blankly and slowly starts to edge out of the room," a woman may complain. You can sense the pain in the betrayal and disappointment she feels. A major breakthrough in a couple's life happens when they let their personal pain guide them to the heart of the other person. The awful way I feel when my husband backs out of an important conversation is a window into the way he feels when his sexual life goes begging. The pain we feel, then, can tutor and motivate us to reach out and touch the other person in the manner for which they long. And wounds long festering can start to heal, bit by tiny bit.

Women think of shopping as much as men think about sex

Three out of four young women think about shopping nearly as often as men think about sex, it is claimed.
Thoughts of buying that new dress or a much sought-after pair of shoes pop into their heads every 60 seconds, according to a survey by the self- styled 'on-line fashion bible' cosmopolitan.co.uk.
Assuming eight hours of sleep a night, that means shopping trips consume their thoughts an astonishing 960 times a day and 6,720 times a week.
Other studies have previously claimed to uphold the commonly-held belief that young men have only one thing on their minds - sex.
They are said to think about it every 52 seconds, while the subject crosses some women's minds only once a day.
On average, those surveyed spent at least 30 per cent of their annual income on clothes.
Perhaps most worryingly for men, half of those surveyed said they preferred shopping to spending time with their partner, and nearly as many confessed to keeping their shopping escapades secret from their partner to hide their level of spending.
Discussing the cosmopolitan survey, psychologist Dr Jane Prince, of the University of Glamorgan, said: 'People think about things which bring them pleasurable feelings. The pleasure is usually in the anticipating and planning.
'But so many women displaying this level of preoccupation, thinking about something once a minute, would indicate widespread addictive behaviour with regard to shopping which really does not seem to be evidenced in any academic literature I have ever seen.'

Sex is everything Not only is sex important – it is the most important

The lack of sex didn’t cause the fights. The fights happened because the sex wasn’t good enough.

Even if everything is going well, all is running smoothly, and everyone aggress on how the kids should be raised, if the sex isn’t working, an insurmountable lack of satisfaction will lead to cheating and the end of the relationship. There are always problems, but what decides the fate of the relationship is how things are in bed. Relationships may not be all about sex, but they definitely can’t exist without it. The body has the last word on the compatibility level and the quality of communication. If the sex is working, no matter what went on during the day, everything passes, becomes smaller, sillier and solvable. People always say that sex isn’t everything, and that it passes anyway, and that there are more important things, like trust, communication, and love. But I’m saying, what’s trust if not the knowledge that you can be exposed, unconscious, completely wanton to his mercy, and know, theoretically, that if you were to go into a clinical coma, nothing bad would happen to you? What’s communication if not his knowledge of what you want every second of the day? And if those two things put together aren’t love, then I don’t know what is!

Saree Below Navel

Saree below sexy navel: Not some godforsaken ugly navel, mind you, a sexy one. Better be specific than sorry for searching for navel pics and stumbling upon mediocre navels.

Saree below navel in bra: “Transferred epithet”, I believe, is what this figure of speech is called as I could hardly imagine a navel adorned in a lacy bra. We must assume that the said bra is worn by the owner of the said navel. But on the other hand, who are we to judge one’s preference of navels and their accoutrements.

Saree below naval: I take comfort in believing that I live in a world of typos rather than a world full of people with some kinky fantasies involving armed forces and Indian garments.

SHARON STONE in saree below navel: It might seem absurd that one would look for her pictures with saree below navel when one could get pictures of her with skirt below ankles. But let’s not underestimate the power of fetish.

The launch of the open source Firefox 3 web browser has set the new Guinness World Record for the largest number of software downloads in 24 hours. Mozilla's mirrors served 8,002,530 complete, individual downloads during the download day event following the official RELEASE OF FIREFOX 3 last month.

The download day grassroots marketing campaign was orchestrated by Mozilla's global marketing team. When the idea was first ANNOUNCEDto the public in May, Mozilla encouraged enthusiasts to pledge in advance. Over 1.7 million users from all over the world visited the SpreadFirefox web site to affirm their support prior to the day of the launch, and many Firefox enthusiasts planned special parties and download-fests for the day of the release.

No person can complete you

It is time to remind myself about something I told my friend some months ago. Sometimes we make ourselves believe that we need more to feel complete or to feel happy. People, objects, emotions- it could be anything. But that’s not so. The reality of my life or anyone’s is that what ever you need, life has already given it to you. If you feel something is not there or cannot sense something, probably you have no need for it. Really, there is nothing lacking in you for someone to come and complete. Just consider this, if you truly don’t have love , then how can you even offer it to others? If you crave love, does it mean you are empty of love? Do you expect someone to come fill your heart with love, so that you can give that same love in return? No, you love because you already have that emotion in you. And so when someone doesn’t reciprocate your love with love, let it not lead you to a sense of incompleteness or despair. Instead know that before wanting someone’s attention, you need to first love yourself and be at peace with yourself. Only when there is love in your life, a completeness with yourself, can you understand and see love. Else when it comes you won’t even be able to recognize it.

Skin treatments over the counter

Are you wanting to treat wrinkles at home instead of going to a “spa” or dermatologist? Many products that are “over-the-counter” can be purchased and used to treat wrinkles in the comfort of your own home. Dermatologists recommended that products contain vitamins C & E as well as have anti-oxidants in them. Products that also contain Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA) help to remove the dead layers of skin to produce a younger appearance in the skin. Retinol and Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA) are found in many night creams for the face. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A, and can be used to reduce acne as well as increasing the cell turnover rate of your skin. The faster your cells regenerate... the more youthful you will appear. Your fine lines and wrinkles on your face will be diminished. Use a natural skin lightener for those dark under-eye circles. Kojic Acid is also a good ingredient, because it’s a natural lightener and works wonders on dark under-eye circles. You have many options for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. You don’t have to spend a fortune, either!

Trouble in paradise?

Marriage counsellors often advise troubled couples with many issues. Here are a few oft-encountered ones.

Financial Issues:
Money is among the top reasons couples argue. Different salaries, spending habits, and attitudes about money make it a controversial topic. Often one person is a saver and the other is a free spender. This can lead to a great deal of stress in any marriage when the couple is already fairly tight on finances, or when one spouse is far more frugal than the other.

Infidelity:
Infidelity happens when feelings of depression, stress, or just being overwhelmed with the pressures of life can cause some people to neglect their physical appearance and hygiene. Another reason for looking outside of marriage is when couples become demanding of one another. A wife or husband may not realise that nagging and complaining is demanding. It puts a lot of pressure on a spouse to be a certain way for the other. And what if they do not, or cannot perform in the way you think they should. They tend to look for some peace outside their marriage and this may turn into infidelity.

Recipe for happy marriage:
Communication is the key ingredient to any successful marriage. That means talking through situations rather than bottling up or accusing each other.Address the issue calmly and resolve your arguments with logic and reason.
Empathy is important in marriage. Empathy isn’t the same as sympathy. It means being able to put yourself in another’s position, to feel what they feel and see what they see, And it means you do all that even though you may disagree with a partner’s perception, opinions, or feelings.

Settle down fights and bitterness:
‘I am sorry’ – It is that magic word which will surely work wonders. Never hesitate to say sorry if you are wrong and see the difference that it makes. It is advisable not to bring the past as it will only exacerbate the sourness. Be calm and above all forget and forgive.There will be lots of times when you and your spouse won’t have the same opinion at all in some aspects. Don’t make your point sound like a criticism to your partner. It doesn’t matter who is in the wrong or right. Always bear in mind that an argument doesn’t need a winner or a loser.

Hackers all the way control the internet traffic

Internet security researchers on Thursday warned that hackers have caught on to a "critical" flaw that lets them control traffic on the Internet. An elite squad of computer industry engineers that laboured in secret to solve the problem released a software "patch" two weeks ago and sought to keep details of the vulnerability hidden at least a month to give people time to protect computers from attacks.

"We are in a lot of trouble," said IOActive security specialist Dan Kaminsky, who stumbled upon the Domain Name System (DNS) vulnerability about six months ago and reached out to industry giants to collaborate on a solution. DNS is used by every computer that links to the Internet and works similar to a telephone system routing calls to proper numbers, in this case the online numerical addresses of websites.

The vulnerability allows "cache poisoning" attacks that tinker with data stored in computer memory caches that relay Internet traffic to its destination.The threat is greatest for business computers handling online traffic or hosting websites, according to security researchers. The flaw is a boon for "phishing" cons that involve leading people to imitation web pages of businesses such as bank or credit card companies to trick them into disclosing account numbers, passwords and other information. US Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), a joint government-private sector security partnership, is among the chorus urging people to quickly protect computers linked to the Internet

Meditation slows AIDS progression

Meditation may slow the worsening of AIDS in just a few weeks, perhaps by affecting the immune system, US researchers reported.
They tested a stress-lowering program called mindfulness meditation, defined as practicing an open and receptive awareness of the present moment, avoiding thinking of the past or worrying about the future. The more often the volunteers meditated, the higher their CD4 T-cell counts - a standard measure of how well the immune system is fighting the AIDS virus. The CD4 counts were measured before and after the two-month programme. "This study provides the first indication that mindfulness meditation stress-management training can have a direct impact on slowing HIV disease progression," said David Creswell, who led the study.

His team tested 67 HIV-positive adults from the Los Angeles area, 48 of whom did some or all of the meditation. Most were likely to have highly stressful lives, Creswell said.

"The average participant in the study was male, African American, homosexual, unemployed and not on ARV (antiretroviral) medication," they wrote in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity."The mindfulness program is a group-based and low-cost treatment, and if this initial finding is replicated in larger samples, it’s possible that such training can be used as a powerful complementary treatment for HIV disease, alongside medications," he added.

He said it was unclear how the stress-reducing effects of meditation work. It may directly boost CD4 T-cell levels, or suppress the virus, he said.

Hyperactive immune resistance brings blindness in old age

Age-dependent macular degeneration (AMD) is the commonest cause of blindness in the western industrialised nations. Hereditary changes in the regulation of the immune system influence the risk of contracting AMD. Opthalmologists at the University Clinic in Bonn, working in co-operation with researchers from Göttingen, Regensburg and Great Britain, have now, for the first time, demonstrated that in cases of senile blindness the patient´s immune resistance is hyperactive throughout his entire body, says eurekalert press release.

An Anglo-German research team embracing immunologists from Göttingen University has added a further important aspect to our current knowledge of the processes leading to senile blindness. For the first time, they have been able to show that in the case of patients with AMD their entire immune system is hyperactive. It had not previously been known whether such an immune reaction affecting the entire body played any role in this eye disease.

The investigation was conducted by scientists from Bonn, Göttingen, Regensburg and Oxford under the leadership of Privatdozent Dr. Hendrik Scholl of Bonn University´s Eye Clinic. The results achieved by this research team have now been published in the current edition of the PLoS ONE:

Overcoming examination stress

Some of the symptoms of stress are Stomach disorders

Headaches, Mild Fever ,Loss of Appetite ,Insomnia, Depression ,Sweating, Breathing difficulty, Panic attacks and Memory losses

Being too anxious, concerned or worried is not conducive to exams and undue anxiety is counter productive.

A well planned schedule and a steady routine aided by a calm mind, provide the best backdrop for effective preparation for exams.

In most cases, combined studies end up as chat sessions. However there is no harm in seeking clarifications from friends or teachers when the need arises.

Take a 10 minute break every couple of hours and go for a walk to clear your mind for the next session.

A very important part of examination preparation is your diet. Food high in fibre content, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and lot of milk keep you alert and energised. Chocolates and chips and other high sugar, high fat food tend to make you feel sluggish.

Indulge in hobbies or a certain amount of television or games. When you do something that makes you happy, you will do that thing well.

We need to have the determination to succeed against all odds and a desire to perform well. There is no shortcut to success but hard work.

World’s first bird discovered

A group of scientists, including one of Indian ethnic origin, have discovered the ‘world’s first bird’ that lived 235 million years ago.

In the landmark study, published by the Paleontological Association, experts unveiled an extraordinary prehistoric lizard-like ‘flying’ reptile which lived 235 million years ago.

The scientific community believes that birds descended from reptiles 50 million years later making the kuehneosaurs the world’s first ‘bird’, The Mail online said.

The long-extinct species, which inhabited the warm late Triassic period from 235 to 200 million years ago, was first discovered in the UK inside an ancient cave system near Bristol, the report said. According to experts, the kuehneosaurs, which grew up to 2 feet long, used extensions of their ribs to form large gliding surfaces on the sides of their body.

Earlier this year, experts from Bristol University built life-size models of the two types of kuehneosaurs found in the UK — kuehneosuchus and kuehneosaurus.
kuehneosuchus was aerodynamically very stable. Jumping from a tree, it could easily have crossed 9m (29ft) before landing on the ground,” said German palaeobiologist Koen Stein,who now works in the German Institute of Palaeontology at Bonn, conducted the research with Colin Palmer, Pamela Gill and Michael Benton from Bristol University’s Department of Earth Sciences

Towards A One World Religion

In order to ever realize the creation of a one world government, it only makes sense that there would need to be a one world religion. It will be much easier to control us if we are all the same, therefore there is a push for the globalization of religion. Many believe that peace can only be achieved by uniting the world under one umbrella. Those who have called for a new world order include the late Pope John Paul II and the current Pope Benedict XVI. Throughout his papacy, John Paul II preached a message of peace, hope, and the bringing together of all religions. The United Nations and the European Union have also participated and sponsored interfaith meetings, very much paralleling this same theme. My intentions are in no way to bash or single out any religion, but rather to point to the fact that there is a movement, and an agenda by some to create a new religious order. Christian scholars point to a time in the Bible where the world will unite under a false religious and political system.


In the year 2000, the United Nations held its first ever Millennium World Peace Summit. It brought together thousands of the world's preeminent religious and spiritual leaders, thus marking a major step towards the creation of a global religious body. This was the first time such an event had taken place through the UN. A new declaration of peace created the beginning of an era of collaboration between religions, with the UN as its surrogate. All in attendance also pledged their support for the UN and then Secretary General Kofi Anan.

Hey Doc, your handwriting is killing us.

One of the most fascinating things to me is prescription. You know that piece of paper with scribbles all over it that your doctor gives to you after your visit? Well, it’s not just scribbles because it actually contains vital information with regards to your health. While I swear that I cannot read or understand it, I find it very amusing that pharmacists and other medical practitioners can read it easily. You go to any drugstore, hand your prescription and they will read it as if it’s clearly written. Soon enough, they’ll give you medicines that are suppose to make you well or healthy.

But are you sure that they read it right? What if they are dead wrong? Chances are, you will be dead too.

According to a July 2006 report from the National Academies of Science’s Institute of Medicine (IOM), doctors’ sloppy handwriting kills more than 7,000 people annually. Preventable medication mistakes also injure more than 1.5 million Americans annually. And:

Many such errors result from unclear abbreviations and dosage indications and illegible writing on some of the 3.2 billion prescriptions written in the U.S. every year.

Certainly, there is nothing fascinating or amusing about that fact. It is disturbing to know that your prescription can actually harm you more than your disease. Instead of treatment, some of these prescriptions, no thanks to our doc’s handwriting, can cause us injury or even death.

Six Secret Rules for air hostesses

Rule 1: Air hostesses should remember that they are, first and foremost, sales persons. They are responsible for selling stale trail mix, cheap headphones and overpriced blankets and pillows. Unfortunately, airlines do not as yet sell water, so air hostesses should refrain from handing out water unless specifically requested by passengers. Even then, they should provide water only in tiny water cups.

Rule 2: All air hostesses should wear high heels that are at least 6 inches high. Heels of five inches may be permitted in special cases, with prior approval. They should sashay through the aisle, rolling carts on high heels, and also use these heels to curb passengers who demand too much attention, like extra cups of water.

Rule 3: Air hostesses should have long fingernails that are at least an inch long. Long fingernails are an important accessory that can be used to dip into cups and discourage use of complimentary drinks by passengers. They can also be used to poke passengers while handing out cups of water and juice.

Rule 4: Make up is very important. Nail polish and lip stick should always be bright red in color. Also, make-up should be applied heavily, so the face looks pale, contrasting with the bright red lipstick. Eyes should be heavily made up. This appearance, when combined with a glare, may scare some of the more timid passengers.

Rule 5: Hair color should be brown on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On all other days, it should be black. Red and orange highlights are recommended.

Rule 6: Air hostesses should give the appearance of smiling at passengers. But genuine smiles are not recommended, in case the passengers get too friendly and request additional cups of water, newspapers or other services currently free

Readers, can you suggest more rules for air hostesses that you have come across?

Divine & faith… What do you do when you do?

Psychologists say that a person living in western countries never sleeps for more than 14 minutes at a stretch - more often it is less. After 14 minutes he comes back to the dream state or wakeful consciousness or just floats in the dream level.
Again he goes back to sleep for a maximum of 14 minutes. Then he comes back to the dream level. Again he goes back to sleep.
They call this the rapid eye movement or REM sleep pattern.
You never sleep totally even when you sleep. There are levels of mind in which you will never have dreams.
You never need to have any dreams. You can directly enter into deep sleep, if you know how to live in the now, the present moment.
If you know how to live in now, you will know the art of eating, the art of sleeping, and the art of doing everything. That is the art of living.
Can you try to remember one incident from your day in complete detail?
You are more dead than alive even when you are awake. You almost live like a man in half sleep. You do things without fully knowing what you do. You do recall brushing your teeth; but do you remember the sensation of cold water in your mouth? Do you remember the feel of the taste of the toothpaste in your mouth or the pressure of your toothbrush upon your gums? And how did you feel after brushing? Or how was the water being poured on your body in the shower?
How did the whole thing happen? What is happening after you have eaten your food? Look at your life; look at your face; you are all almost bored. Somehow you are pulling along.
Life is just a drag. Why? Because, all you do, all that you know to do for everything is how to postpone. Your mind never sits with your being. Your mind never lives in the same moment that you are in. You are always in the space of tomorrow or in the space of yesterday. It is never in the space of today, now, the present.

Secularism returns to Bollywood: Mahesh Bhatt

Retired director Mahesh Bhatt has some reflections on secularism in Bollywood cinema on Sabrang. He lauds the 'golden years' of Hindi cinema -- the 1950s and 60s. This was when poet-lyricists like Sahir Ludhianvi and Kaifi Azmi wrote some of the most memorable classic popular songs in Indian history -- in rich, flowering Urdu.

Bhatt also believes that Bollywood went through a 'dark' phase in the 1990s, with a trend towards anti-Muslim cinema. The main example he gives is Gadar, though one can can easily think of some others: Sarfarosh, Fiza, Mission Kashmir.

Bhatt feels that moment may be over, and he cites the popularity of colorized version of the classic Dilip Kumar film Mughal e-Azam as proof. I might also add Main Hoon Na, which tried to make Nehruvian secularism seem hip again.

Let's hope he's right.

iPaper and the end of pdf as we know it

Scribd Platform allows developers to integrate documents into their websites, with a simple and clean flash interface.

I have loved Scribd from the moment they came on the scene and have covered them a number of times. But this time I think they have exceeded my expectations. The iPaper is an advanced version of Adobe’s Flash Paper, and is specially created for the web. So its a lot faster and efficient, and I believe has the power to replace pdf files from the internet.

Since now you don’t need to have pdf installed on your machine to view these files, I am sure iPaper is going to make a real killing on the internet.

But the best part about it, is that Scribd managed to see something even mighty Adobe could not. ‘Flash Paper’ was originally created by Macromedia, which was later acquired by Adobe because they felt the competition. Now, when Adobe got Macromedia, apparently they just didn’t think that ‘Flash Paper’ was that cool, and it just lay in the dust for over four years.

That was the story until Scribd came along. Scribd initially started out by using ‘Flash Paper’ to serve the documents. And once it was proven that it was a successful idea ,they started writing their own interface for it, which just got released as iPaper. Adobe could have done it too, but alas they were too busy making AIR.

The mission for Scribd, is not that they can be as viral as YouTube, but if they can completely replace pdf in the long term.

HARDWARE N NETWORKING

In the recent decades, there has been a rapid spread of computers and information technology. This has created an enormous opportunities for young professionals in IT sector. One of the major area is the good old hardware and networking sector. This is the actual backbone of all IT related organizations. Infact, even the Non IT organizations are totally dependent on their hardware personnel to keep their work afloat as most of the work is done through computers these days. The networking people are typically responsible for analysis, installation and configuration of company networks. They have to monitor network performance constantly and troubleshoot problems as and when they arise. Maintaining network security is another interesting job profile. Other activities include assisting customers with operating systems and network adapters, configuring routers, switches, and firewalls, and evaluating third-party tools.
Generally, computer hardware courses focus on assembling computers and teaching about various components such as processors, motherboards, random access memory, etc. And Networking courses, focus on connecting two or more computers with a view to sharing information and data i.e. setting up of LAN, WAN etc.
The basic skills include a typical degree in computer science plus a professional course in area of expertise. A person should have been certified via a networking-based certifications like Microsoft MCSE and Cisco CCNA.

HYDROGEN THE FUTURE FUEL

On a summer day in Paris in 1783, Jaques Charles did somthing as tonishing. He roared 3,000 feet above ground in a balloon of rubb er-coated silk bagfilled with lighter-than-air hydrogen gas. Though this event had no significance for the next two centuries,yet Charles had launched a quest to harness the power of hydrogen for transportation.
Burned or used in fuel cells,hydrogen is an appealing option for powering future automobiles. This nontoxic gas could serve as a pollution-free energy carrier for machines of many kinds. When it burns, it releases no carbon .dioxide, a potent greenhouse gas.
And if hydrogen is fed into a fuel-cell stack—a batterylike device that generates electricity from hydrogen and oxygen— it can propel an electric car or truck with only heat and water as by products. Fuel-cell powered vehicles could offer more than twice the efficiency of today’s automobiles. Hydrogen could, therefore, help ease environmental problems, including air pollution and its hazards.
Weight for weight,hydrogen contains three times the energy of gasolene (petrol) but it is impossible to store hydrogen gas as compactly as the conventional liquid fuel. One of the most challenging technical issues is how to efficiently and safely store enough hydrogen onboard to provide the driving range and performance the motorists demand.

WATCH OUT CALORIES

Everybody is watching his calories intake in diet. Even in the standard restaurants, information of calorie is printed right on the menu against each dish. Besides, most of the food companies display nutrient knowledge on the dietary edibles. The food we eat is burned up like fuel when it is broken down in the body by combining with oxygen. Now, the way we measure the work a fuel does, by means of calories. Each type of food as eaten up furnishes a certain amount of calories. For example, one gram of fat yields nine calories, while as one gram of protein and carbohydrates furnishes around four calories only.The requirement of calories which our body needs depends on the work body is doing. For instance, an adult who is in the State of absolute rest needs less calories intake a day, than a person doing very heavy work. It may range from around 1600-3000 k.cals or more a day. Children need more calories than adults. During summer we need less calories than in winter. The normal fuels are carbohydrates, starch and sugar. The body can store away about 1/3 of the amounts it needs each day. The rest becomes fat! High calories diet becomes necessary during fever, infections,underweight, wrestling, sports,etc. Similarly, to control over weight, obesity, CVD, some Liver and Kidney, ailments, wt. associated B.P; gout, diabetes, thyroid, sedentary habits, etc. Low calorie diet management is advisable.

SIKH HISTORY

A progressive religion well ahead of its time when it was founded over 500 years ago...The founder of Sikhism was Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji, (1469-1538) who was born in the Punjab area of what is now Pakistan. At Sultanpur, he received a vision to preach the way to enlightenment and God. He is responsible for the saying "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim" which has since become one of the pillars of Sikhism. He taught a strict monotheism, the brotherhood of humanity. He rejected idol worship, and the Hindu concept of caste. Guru Nanak and Panth (his followers) later built the first Sikh temple at Katarpur.

A succession of nine Gurus (regarded as reincarnations of Guru Nanak) led the movement during the period from Guru Nanak's death until 1708. At that time, the functions of the Guru passed to the Panth and to the holy text, considered the 11th Guru.

MUGHAL emperors ruled a large area of South Asia from the 16th century until the end of the 18th century. They attempted to convert the Sikhs to Islam, but were unsuccessful. It has been said of one of the Sikh Gurus (considered by many Sikhs to have been the last guru) that "Had there been no Guru Gobind Singh, the entire country would have gotten circumcised" i.e. been converted to Islam.

In 1801, the Sikh state of Punjab was founded in Northern India by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. According to a historian Vincent Smith, "The Punjab State was neither a traditional Indian territorial State and monarchy, nor merely a dictatorship of one community over another. There was an element of partnership with other communities."

An invasion by Great Britain triggered the Sikh Wars (1845-1849). The British successfully gained control over all of India. After independence in 1947, occupied India was partitioned on religious grounds into a mostly Muslim Pakistan and mostly Hindu India. A mass migration of Sikhs and Hindus from Pakistan to India and a reverse migration of Muslims resulted, with immense loss of life. Some Sikhs have been seeking an independent homeland since the late 1940's.

WiMax For A Wire Free World

WI-Max is defined as standards based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to generally used cable and DSL.

WiMAX, the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access ,is a wireless digital communications system, also known as IEEE 802.16, that is intended for wireless "metropolitan area networks". WiMAX can provide broadband wireless access (BWA) up to 30 miles (50 km) for fixed stations, and 3 - 10 miles (5 - 15 km) for mobile stations. In contrast, the WiFi/802.11 wireless local area network standard is limited in most cases to only 100 - 300 feet (30 - 100m).

With WiMAX, WiFi-like data rates are easily supported, but the issue of interference is lessened. WiMAX operates on both licensed and non-licensed frequencies, providing a regulated environment and viable economic model for wireless carriers.

WiMAX can be used for wireless networking in much the same way as the more common WiFi protocol. WiMAX is a second-generation protocol that allows for more efficient bandwidth use, interference avoidance, and is intended to allow higher data rates over longer distances.

The IEEE 802.16 standard defines the technical features of the communications protocol. The WiMAX Forum offers a means of testing manufacturer's equipment for compatibility, as well as an industry group dedicated to fostering the development and commercialization of the technology.

WiMax.com provides a focal point for consumers, service providers, manufacturers, analysts, and researchers who are interested in WiMAX technology, services, and products. Soon, WiMAX will be a very well recognized term to describe wireless Internet access throughout the world.

As IT industry and countries are recognizing the potential of Wi-Max, the technology has promising future both in terms of cost effectiveness and benefits to consumers. There are few issues still to be resolved like spectrum allocation (as signals have no country boundary so every country has to work on some range of signal, like every state has boundary, every Wi-Max country needs a defined boundary for Wi-Max also). Wi-Max also needs to be combined with technologies like Wi-Fi, bluetooth and others. Let us hope it gives the best to us.

10 Biggest Online Time Wasters, and 6 Strategies for Beating Them

Before we get into the list of time-wasters, let’s take a look at 6 strategies to beat time-wasters and keep yourself on task.
1. Track time. You might not know exactly how bad your addiction is, because the time you spend on some of these sites just flies by. Try tracking your time, at least for a little while, to see where your problem areas are.PAGE ADDICT is one of a number of good utilities for this, and once you see your worst time-wasters, you can also use it for the next strategy.

2. Block them. Once you’ve identified your worst time wasters, it’s possible to block them with one of several utilities. STEALTH KIWI and LEECH BLOCK are two of my favorites.

3. Unplug. Another strategy that actually works really well is to unplug from the Internet when you really need to get work done. When you finish you task, connect and have fun, then unplug again for some more serious work.

4. Go on a diet. This is a more drastic strategy, but sometimes it’s necessary if your addiction has gotten really bad. Disconnect yourself from the Internet for at least a day, if not 2-3 days or even a week. The worse YOUR ADDICTION, the longer your diet should be. After the period of complete disconnection, follow Strategy 6 below by going on an extremely limited information diet.

5. Just let go. This strategy is for those of us who feel that if we DON’T ANSWER OUR E-MAILS, or read all of our feeds, or check our blog stats, or see what’s happening on our favorite social sites, then somehow the world will fall apart. Of course, we never put it that way in our head, but the urge is still there. But what happens if you just let go, and allow your email to pile up for a day, or don’t check your stats or your favorite forum? The world will go on. This might seem obvious, but again, I think many of us have a subconscious idea that something bad will happen if we don’t stay up to date. Try letting go for a day, and see what happens.

6. Limit time. This is actually the most sensible strategy, but of course it’s not easy if you have an addiction. Therefore, I recommend you use it in conjunction with one of the above strategies. For this strategy, you decide how many minutes and how many times you are going to allow yourself to go on your worst time-wasting sites. If email is your addiction, for example, you might decide to check email only twice a day for 30 minutes a session. Decide on what time limit would work best for you, put it on a schedule (10 a.m. and 4 p.m., for example), and stick to it. If you have trouble sticking to it, try one of the other strategies.

OK, we’ve identified some strategies for dealing with these time-wasters, so let’s take a look at them. Please note: if you haven’t already visited one of these time-wasters, I’d advise that you don’t do so now, especially if you have work to do.

1.CHAT
AIM. Or any chat client (IRC, Googletalk, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, Skype, what have you). If you’ve always got your chat client open, even if you put your status as “away” or “busy” or something like that, you will be constantly interrupted by new messages, new people coming online, new people trying to get your attention. Make your time yours by closing your chat client, and only opening it when you really need to chat.

2. FACEBOOK

Today I have been sent five drinks, a glitterball and a kitten. I discovered that my friend Amit has been shopping and bought seven tops, Rajiv is frustrated with Delhi’s buses and Rajneet has become a blood donor.& I know that Avneet’s joined a book club.

On top of all this, I’ve helped market Bryan adams new album, added my thoughts to the “kick out illegal immigrants n between I’ve poked a few mates, despatched a couple of superlatives and been involved in a food fight. Oh, and I’ve asked over a million people on the London network: Should bosses ban Facebook?

Frankly, it’s been an exhausting five hours. What must it be like for the majority of Facebook junkies with an average of 100 “friends” each who apparently spend hours every day surfing the UK’s fastest-growing social utility network?

3.ORKUT

The king of useless sites. Orkut is becoming the most popular and dangerous site in the world. People are becoming addicts to Orkut. The main reason why Orkut is the most popular dating site (though the creators don’t like it to be called a dating site, it IS, OF COURSE a dating site) is that it is kept FREE till date. Unlike other dating sites, there is no premium membership. Lots and lots of complaints are being made against Orkut. Particularly from India. The creators have to do something to stop Orkut being misused.

4. YOUTUBE

Addiction at its peak. It is like drug. Can find anything in video format there in Youtube. Again, one can spend hours and hours in youtube. I was seeing Mr Bean clips for 6 hours non stop! Piracy is freely supported in Youtube. They dont seem to worry about this growing problem. 70% of the videos uploaded here are pirated. They simply dont want to stop it. Can anyone deny it?

5. FLICKER

This is a photo supermarket. Millions of photos. Wide variety of cultures. People from all over the world have photos uploaded there. From all continents. Great photographs. The human nature of getting interested in what happens in next door makes this site one of the most visited.

6. YAHOO GAMES

If you are the one that likes to get challenged by human players, this is the place for you. Interactive games at its best. Pool game is so addictive. So realistic. I have played it all night, many nights

7. MINICLIPS

Diabetes is Preventable

Diabetes is not curable in the conventional sense, it is amenable to be kept under fairly good control through lifestyle modifications and the requisite medication. But, more important than that is to educate the unaffected people with a history of Diabetes in the family about the importance of prevention of Diabetes so that it does not occur in the first place.
More than ever before, today there is a greater need to spread the message that Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, the world’s fastest growing chronic disorder, for which there is no radical cure …… is preventable! Worldwide over 300 million people including children and adolescents have “Pre-Diabetes” which can be prevented from developing into Diabetes.
Key to prevention
The key to prevention of Diabetes is early detection of a recently termed condition called “Pre-diabetes” ….. a stage when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. As mentioned above, there are already over 300 million people with Pre-diabetes today and this number is expected to rise to 472 million by 2025. During the pre-diabetes stage, resistance to Insulin develops with the result that Blood Sugar levels begin to fluctuate.
Pre-diabetes is known to affect one in six adults and is also prevalent in children or adolescents. It is a part of the Insulin Resistance Syndrome comprising obesity, abnormal blood sugar levels, high blood pressure, disturbed lipid/cholesterol levels and thrombogenesis. Thus pre-diabetes is considered a marker of increased risk of Type 2 Diabetes and future heart attacks.
There are no warning signs or obvious symptoms of ensuing Diabetes. However, if one is overweight or obese, has a family history of Diabetes or leads a sedentary lifestyle, then one is a likely candidate for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Tips to Remember
Any rise or fluctuation in Blood Sugar levels must be taken seriously because it may indicate Pre-diabetes and also indicate progression from Pre-diabetes to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus which can be prevented. At this stage, lifestyle changes will work. Healthy eating and physical activity as also Yoga and meditation are twice as effective as medication and not nearly as costly. On the other hand, pre-diabetes, if left untreated, may develop into diabetes within 5 to 10 years with subsequent risk of heart attack, brain stroke, kidney failure, leg amputation and blindness.
Further, with 80% to 90% of people diagnosed as Type 2 Diabetics being overweight or obese, it is time to act before pre-diabetes progresses to full-fledged diabetes. Remember, Diabetes is preventable!

INDIA AIMS FOR $10 LAPTOP

It sounds too good to be true, but the Human Resources Development ministry in India is trying to get engineers to devise a $10 laptop.

So far, the ministry is looking at two different designs: one from an engineering student at the Vellore Institute of Technology and another from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, according to the newspaper times of india . (The Institute of Science, by the way, is not the colleges that are part of the Indian Institute of Technology. The Institute of Science is a grad school. Out of over 100,000 annual applications, it takes about 350.)

So far, one of the laptops, even after factoring in labor charges, costs about $47.

The cost is encouraging and we are hopeful it would come down to $10. We would also look into the possibility of some Indian company manufacturing the parts,? an official said.

Even though labor is cheap in India, getting a laptop to this level will be tough. A laptop is made from components, after all, which have to be made in factories. The $100 laptop from Nicholas Negroponte has ballooned up to $175. These laptops will be made on a single board. And most likely, it will be made with old, discarded component. You and I may not want them, but a lot of old components are pretty good. A 1GHz processor is considered out-of-date these days.

SIKH

Sikh is the title and name given to an adherent of Sikhism. Many male Sikhs can easily be recognized by their well worn turbans, beards, or steel made bracelets on their right wrists. Steel bracelets are also worn by Sikh women.

The evolution of Sikhs began with the emergence of GURUNANAK as a religious leader and a social reformer during the 15TH CENTURY in place called PUNJAB. Their identity was formalised and weilded into uniform practise by 10TH GURU ,GURU GOBIND SINGH on MARCH 10, 1699. The latter baptised five persons from different social backgrounds to form the social brotherhood of the KHALSA . The first five, PURE ONES , then baptised Gobind Singh into the Khalsa fold.

The Sikhs established a NATION , under RANJIT SINGH , in the 19TH CENTURY in which they were preeminent. They were known for their MILITARY prowess, administrative capabilties, economic productivity and their adaptability to modern western technology and administration.

The Sikhs comprise about two percent of INDIA’S BILLION POPULATION . The greater PUNJAB REGION is the historic homeland of Sikhism. Most Sikhs come from the PUNJAB region of India , although significant communities exist around the world.

ATTEMPTS OF ONE WORLD RELIGION

- There have been many attempts of One World Religion, others than the founders of the great Religions: Abraham, Jesus, Muhammad, Lao, Buddha...

- "Freemasonry", tried it with the principles of the "fatherhood of God" and the "brotherhood of men", and it failed!

- "Baha'ism" tried it with the principle "the earth is but one country and mankind its citizens", advocating a One World Religion, a universal language, a world confederacy of nations, the establishment of world peace... but it failed!

- The "Unification Church" of Moony tried "to unite all Christendom and all people under God", and it failed!

- The Unitarian-Universalist Church and the Unity Church also failed, as the Sikh tried their best but failed to unite Muslims and Hindus.

- Now a days the "New Age Umbrella" and the "New World Order" are fostering a One World Religion, one monetary system, with no boundary of nations... without any good results as yet.

The Messiah: Some of the Great Religions are still waiting for a "Messiah" to establish peace and love on earth, with One World Religion:
- The Jews, for the Messiah.
- The Christians, for the Second Coming of the Messiah (the Christ in Greek).
- The Muslims by the Iman Mahdi.
- The Hindus by the reincarnation of Krishna.
- The Buddhists by the Lord Maitreya.
- Benjamin Creme, in England, attracted much attention announcing the coming of the Messiah, "Lord Maitreya" by 1982; when Maitreya failed to appear, Creme's popularity quickly died.

EVERY PERSON IN THIS WORLD MUST COME TO MY SITE AND GIVE A THOUGHT TAT Y THEY FAILED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SUPPORTED BY US ONLY...SO TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE WE MUST THINK OF ONE WORLD RELIGION & ONE GOD

Only one God created this entire Universe!!!

Hindus say that Brahman is the creator, Muslims say
That Allah is creator, Christians say that the creator is
Jehovah, etc....
If Hindus say that Brahman created India, and if
Muslims say that Allah created Arabian countries and
If Christians say that Jehovah created the western countries,
The problem is solved, there can be three Gods together,
Who have created the three parts of the earth separately.

But this is not so, each religion says that their God only
Created the entire world, unfortunately there is one world!
One world only! Come on, all of you sit together here
and tell me WEN A CHILD IS BORN CAN ANYONE TELL WHETHER
CHILD BELONGS TO WHICH RELIGION.
Religions are rigid conservatisms! (to maintain the existing or traditional order.)
Even a small boy is putting this question to all of you.

Stop all your discourses and first answer this question.
If you want to say that God created the entire world,
You have to accept that there is one God only always
And that His names are all the above three names.
SO WHICH PROVES THERE MUST BE ONE WORLD RELIGION

ONE WORLD RELIGION

When you look at the chaos in the world around you I believe most of you wonder, "Where are we going? What is this world heading towards?" Today I think that even the free, democratic world has come to an end. We can see the division in the communistic world as well. There is trouble ahead for it. These problems of the world seem beyond our power to solve, in the free world or in the world that is enslaved. No one man can say he has the solution for the problems we are facing. How happy we would be then, if in these circumstances, we had an Almighty God with us to resolve the chaos. If God exists and He is Almighty, He could be our guide out of these complexities. However, I do not think that many people understand or experience the existence of God. It is ignorance of God's existence and of His nature that leads many nations to follow the path to corruption and eventual destruction. So the most important thing is to understand that existence, to view His nature as reflected in creation and as further revealed at this critical time in history. We are seeking ONE WORLD RELIGION with the hope of solving man kind's problems. If there is a God, He will use man as a partner to solve those problems. Man is important to God's existence.
