FIVE WORDS OF WISDOM

╬ 1- Do what you believe is right Remember, you are just as likely to fail if you do things someone else’s way. The difference is, you shall have that nagging feeling you know all along it was not the right way to go.
 ╬ 2-A good time to laugh is anytime you can We are not suggesting laughing at other people’s miseries, but you can certainly laugh at your own. If you can not, you have to find other ways to survive, and they all sound a lot harder than laughing.
 ╬ 3-The best things in life are not things You talk about health, love, friendship and most important, family. If you do not juggle family and career skillfully, the balance in your life is going to tilt toward your work. In the short term this may seem okay, but it’s not in end. You can always get another job, but you may not get another chance with your family.
 ╬ 4-If you want to stay young, do not mellow The happiest older people are the ones who are still feisty, still active. Even reading the newspaper every day can do the trick by making you angry at what humans will do to one another. It is the notion of fighting that’s important here, of not accepting what you can change. As the saying goes, “old age is no place for sissies.
 ╬ 5-Always set a place for the unexpected guest You cannot plan everything that is going to happen to you, but you should be prepared for it, because if you do not, you are going to be hurt badly in this world. My sister was amazed when she went for a checkup three months after my daughter was born and her doctor said, “of course, you are pregnant again, you know, “her son was not in plans, but he was a wonderful surprise guest. You have to set a place for unexpected guests even if they are not so great,
 like getting fired or having your husband leave you, both of which have happened to me. The “unwelcome” ones are not to accept, and some, such as cancer, you shall never greet with arms, but if you teach yourself to expect the unexpected. You are way ahead of the game.

GENTLEMAN! LIVE LIKE PRIMITIVE PEOPLE

What did people in ancient times eat? My new diet plan started with that question. And the answer was rather obvious, at least in a negative sense. I knew right off what they didn’t eat, almost no refined sugar, for example. While early humans ate a lot of fruit, there were no sugar mills in a primitive village. So the first step was me to cut way back on the sugar I ate. No candy at all, almost no sugared desserts, coffee and tea taken in sweetened.
Soon, my weight was down to 185. That was not low enough though, so I thought more about how our modern diet differs from that of primitive people. I began to learn about why a primitive-type diet is more healthful. My no sugar diet strategy had been based mainly on the idea that sugar was a new food that is out of phase with our very old physical heritage.

What about fat, I thought? There were no dairy cows to yield large amounts of high-fat milk 50,000 years ago. Butter and rich cheese were just not available. Was there lard or fatty beef? Not at all! Most people ate meat of wild animals until fairly recently in our history.
So the next step in my diet plan was to cut out some of the most obvious fatty foods. Skim milk took the place of regular milk. No cream, very little butter. The visible fat around steaks and other meat was cut off and left on my plate. Again, I kept eating enough to feel fully satisfied at every meal. But I just ate much less fat.
Primitive people walked wherever they went, and ran to chase game. What started as a diet idea broadened into an “inner historical program?” More than the choice of food links us to a way of living in tune with our distant past. Sure, we can develop and use our minds in any modern way we want.
So I started to walk more and then to run and to ride a bicycle. It was fun. All that action made me feel good and settled my nerves. But it also made my weight go down even more. The diet of early people was absolutely full of fiber. These people ate a high fiber diet of cactus, nuts, green, berries and other fruit. Occasionally they had meat as well.
The fiber trend was not just another health fashion that happened to be based in the most recent set of nutritional discoveries. I saw it as clearly an important building block of a practical concept of healthful living that had already been tested in my own life, and proved to be enormous use.
That knowledge, that picture of my lifestyle as having clear roots in human history, has made my way of eating and living a lifelong program. People often talk about hard it is to stay on a diet or to keep off weight lost. That is never been hard for me. I decided years ago not to go on a diet, but to change food selections permanently. Doing that has made the program much easier to follow.

ART OF ARCHERY

Archery is an art, practice and skill of throwing arrows using bows. Archery was historically used during hunting and fighting. However, these days, its main use is of recreational. A person who practices archery is known as an archer.

Archery as a game and sport started many years back. The archers make use of ordinary arrow and bow. These days the bow and arrows that are used by archers are modern. Accessories for archery and its equipments are usually made from lightweight materials. These accessories and equipments were made fine in order to ensure good accuracy plus maximum performance at the time of competition.

For a person who wants to learn archery and wants to be good at it, it is very necessary for him to have a good knowledge about these equipments. For example an arrow that is made of aluminum will be perfect when compared to accessories made from heavy materials because aluminum is light in weight and it will be faster than other materials.

Selection of the bow is also very important. Mainly there are three types of bows. And hunting bows are of various kinds as compared to the bows used in competitions for archery. Long bows are most preferable. Other kinds include the re-curve bow and self bow.

Those who want to master the art of archery, to learn how to shoot the arrows properly is an act that is not very easy to master. A couple of minute details ought to be taken care of before beginning to shoot arrows, because a small amount of risk is involved in the shooting of arrows. Before beginning practice, make sure that you are practicing in a secure environment. If your arrows goes off the target or the aim is faltered, it is important that none else is harmed by your arrows, because at the beginning of practice, a few arrows are bound to go wayward. Here are some archery tips that may be useful for learners.

Choosing a bow is very important. Don’t think that you will be able to use any type of bow. While buying the bows you are going to find a large variety of bows constructed of various length and weight. Hold a heavy bow, and you will notice that your arm may not be able to remain steady that means that it’s important that you chose a bow of appropriate weight.

You must also learn how to hold an arrow, and the loose string as well. Then you must stretch it in a manner that the position of your arrow does not change, and it is pulled easily with the front end of your elbow.

Thus archery, despite as it is commonly known, is as physical as another sport, and similarly it requires discipline and training. These days, like other sports, tournaments take place in which archers compete and try to win the tournament by shooting at the targets from set distances. The International Archery Federation (FITA) is the governing body of the sport of archery.

WHAT IS NORMAL, WHAT IS NOT

Here is a rundown of the most common symptom your pet may show, what they might mean, and what action you should take.

Weight loss

If your pet is eating her usual amount of food but is loosing weight, that is a signal that something may be wrong. She may have a gastrointestinal or metabolic disorder such as hyperthyroidism, a condition common in older cats. Since it can be difficult to judge an animal’s weight visually, it is good idea to weight your pet once a month and keep records. A loss one pound in a cat or small dog, or 2 or 3 pounds in a larger dog, is reason to consult your veterinarian.

Loss of appetite

Appetite loss, or anorexia, occurs in a wide variety of diseases. If your pet does not eat for more than a day, call your veterinarian.

Pain

This can be one earlier signs of disease. Animals in pain may become listless, move constantly or be reluctant to move, shiver, groan, and whimper. Neck and back pain often cause animals to avoid moving, and if forced to move, they often cry out. Abdominal pain may cause them to assume a “praying position” with hind legs upright while lying down with the front legs. Any type of severe pain should be checked immediately by your veterinarian. Mild pain that does not go away in day should be checked.

Vomiting

Viral diseases, intestinal obstruction, kidney and liver disease can all cause vomiting. So can something as simple as an abrupt change in diet. As vomiting can be debilitating and quickly lead to fluid imbalances, call your veterinarian if your pet vomits more than once.

Diarrhea

The most common cause of diarrhea is a sudden change in diet, as when table scraps are fed or when you pet gets into the garbage. This type of diarrhea is unusually short lived and is not serious. Intestinal parasites also cause diarrhea, especially in puppies and kitten. Other common causes of diarrhea are infectious diseases, allergies, digestive disorders, kidney and liver disease, and intestinal cancer. Whenever diarrhea lasts for more than one day see your veterinarian.

Coughing

In dogs, coughing is often caused by infectious tracheobronchitis, or “kennel cough” cats often in an attempt to expel a hair ball. Other more serious of coughing are pneumonia, abnormalities of the windpipe, heart disease, allergies, parasites and cancer. Coughing should be checked by your veterinarian as soon as possible, especially when accompanied by labored breathing.

Sneezing

Infectious upper respiratory diseases are the most common cause of sneezing. A couple of sneezes a day may be normal, but persistent sneezing or sneezing accompanied by nasal discharge is not. See your veterinarian.

Excessive fluid intake

On a average day, your dog or cat should not be drinking more than one ounce of fluid per pound of body weight. If you are feeding him dry food now or switch from canned to dry or semi moist food, your pet will drink more water to fulfill his need. That is normal. Any other change in drinking habit that last for more than 2 or 3 days should be checked by your veterinarian.

10 Ways to Add Spice

* Make it hot. Tex-Mex and Cajun cooking adapt well to low-fat, low-salt methods because the strong spicy flavors need no help.
* Add wine, port or sherry to soups, stews and sauces. Cook for half an hour after adding to evaporate the alcohol but keep the flavor. When making refried beans or bean soups, skip the lard and add beer for flavor, texture and moisture.
* Brush mustard on broiled fish or chicken. Add a little paprika, red pepper or parsley.
* Add pineapple, mandarin oranges or other fruits to chicken dishes. Brush orange-juice concentrate on broiled fish or chicken. Instead of pilling on the mayo, add mango, papaya, a few pine nuts and a little honey to chicken salad. A fruit salad dressing of pureed bananas, yogurt, poppy seed and orange juice contains only 30 calories a tablespoon.
* Use pureed potatoes, carrots, beans or French bread to thicken soups.
* In cakes, puddings and pies, add extracts (coconut, almond, vanilla, rum or even butter) to boost flavor while you cut back on salt, fat and sugar.
* Instead of butter and milk, use cinnamon and fruit butters or Butter Buds on hot cereals.
* Add texture and taste to foods with sesame seeds, sunflower seeds or water chestnuts.
* When using yogurt in a heated sauce, first whisk two teaspoons of flour into each cup of yogurt to keep it from separating.
* Start a windowsill garden of your favorite herbs. Then experiment with gourmet delights like pungent baked rosemary chicken, parsley-walnut pesto or poached salmon with dill and yogurt sauce.

5 ways to cut the fat

* Always use a nonstick pan or spray. It’s true that food taste flat without the flavor of butter or margarine. So sprinkle Butter Buds on scrambled eggs, vegetables and rice. If you want to sauté vegetables, try using a little water or low-sodium broth instead of oil.
* Trim and discard any visible fat on meats before and after the meat is cooked. Remove chicken skin before cooking.
* Serve smaller portions of meat. Make meat part of a large dish like a stir-fry, stew or bean-packed chill. Cut the meat sukiyaki-style in thin strips on a diagonal for the illusion of a larger serving.
* Before making stew or soup, chill the broth. The excess fat will rise to the top and harden, so you can easily skim it off.
* Always buy lower-fat version of meals, cheeses, milk and other foods when available. And remember that, in enough quantity, even low-fat foods can pile on the pounds.

GOOD BYE! WE ARE GOiNG FOR CAMPING

Camping tastes very from the rugged, which includes mountaineering, back-packing, and canoeing; to the plush, which includes the comforts of a modern home in a fully equipped camping trailer. Trailer camping is the easier, and it has undeniable advantages. Before leaving home you may hang your clothes in the closet, stock your cupboards with groceries, and make the beds. When you arrive at your camp site you have only to unhitch, hook up the electricity and sewer, and you have every convenience.
Travel-trailer camping is especially good for older people who do not feel up to the exertion of pitching and striking a tent and other aspects of wilderness living. Of course trailer campers are limited to campsite accessible by road. At the opposite pole is wilderness camping. Leaving civilization far behind, you may trek into the wilds with equipment on your back. In many places you may penetrate the wilderness with pack and saddle.
Your wilderness shelter may be only a poncho, tarpaulin, or lightweight tent. For back-packing a three and a half pound tent of nylon, plastic, or balloon silk is best, unless you prefer to use your poncho as shelter to save weight. A good way to sample back-packing is to pick an area that has cabins or other overnight shelters. These are usually equipped for comfort with all necessary items except your bedrolls and food. Investigate these possibilities early; for such facilities are popular, usually you must make reservations well in advance if you plan to use them in July or August.
The great bulk of camping families falls into the middle ground of tent dwellers and trailer tent pullers. The favorite tent for travel campers is still the umbrella tent. It is quick and easy to pitch. Wall tents take longer to pitch, but they have more headroom. Many campers prefer a wall tent if they spend the vacation in one spot instead of setting up camp in a new place each night.
The size tent you need depends primarily on how many people will be sleeping in it. Tent trailers may be equipped with kitchens, but most people prefer to cook outdoors. They are lighter to pull than a regular coach, have a lower pulling profile, and still satisfy the urge for sleeping under canvas. Tent trailers offer large screened windows. For people with pioneer yearnings, there is even a modern travel trailer tent shaped like a covered wagon.

The best way to determine which kind of camper you are is by camping. If you have no camping equipment, rent some for your first expedition. It may save you years of wishing you had waited before purchasing until you knew what you wanted. Perhaps the best way to begin camping is with a rented tent trailer. You may make the beds with bedding you use at home, and postpone buying air mattresses and sleeping bags until you have seen what other people are using that you like.
Whatever kind of camper you turn out to be, you will come home relaxed, refreshed, healthier in mind and body than you.

RAMADAN AND ITS IMPORTANCE

The month of Ramadan is utterly blissful for entire Muslim community. In this sacred month, most Muslims are busy in recitation of Holy Quran, special religious gatherings that commence after iftari to discuss various religious issues and importance of Ramadan. Commercial businesses also shorten their work timings so that the employees can reach home to end their fasting. The iftaris usually contains tasty pakoras dahi phulikis, mushroobat,   dates and many more that have become a trend in ending their fast in the month of holy Ramadan. Special prayers are also offered during this month, special Ramadan programs that includes Naats, Hamds  and discussions of Holy Quran which is indeed very soul awakening for Muslims.
It enlightens the religious spirit of Muslims. Such religious programs that include interpretation of quranic versus are very important in the understanding of meanings of Quran. Quran is a graceful religious book and its meaning is very important. Such programs raise religious awareness among Muslims and non Muslims. Thus the month of Ramadan is very delightful for all Muslims of the world. Whether they are sunni or shia, they join their hearts together to get blessed by this gracious month. Children are also very excited to fast at this time; they display their love for Allah by participating with their families in maintaining the purity of Ramadan. Women and men both are busy in offering their prayers day and night to gain God’s blessings.
The Quran which is the holy book of Muslims is specially read and its meaning is also interpreted by renown religious scholars. During Ramadan Muslims are busy in fasting, which means that they sacrifice their needs of food and water during the day. Fasting has many advantages, just not religiously but also science has proved that fasting has health benefits, also by fasting Muslims learn the lessons of patience, importance of food, to stay away from doing bad deeds. To restrain from illegal activities and significantly contribute in developing moral as well as ethical values among Muslims. The occasion of Ramadan brings eternal happiness as it is a powerful source to kindle our souls, the material life does not provide us with satisfaction which is an indication that we can attain the spiritual enlightenment only through our prayers and through following religious activities that we perform.
During Ramadan the prices of home commodities rise excessively from fruits to sugar, it is not possible to purchase all kinds of utilities for even the middle class families. The market prices have devastating affects upon poor families, who are unable to busy minimum monthly supplies due to price inclination. Such situations are very common in creating food rises among such people. However many charity organizations come forward in arranging adequate supplies during the month of fasting. Where month of Ramadan is a blessing for rich population of our societies, they can enjoy the rich flavors of Ramadan. At the same time it is unfortunate for those suffering from poverty that still depends upon other charitable resources in fulfilling their supplies needs

Internet - the history of the global network

Internet has realized what in the 1970's a visionary of the communications Marshall McLuhan referred to as the "Global Village". The Internet is simply described as the worldwide intersection of separate networks maneuvered by government, business, academic circles, and private parties. In the beginning the Internet was introduced to interrelate laboratories and offices occupied in government and military research. Since 1994 it has been expanded to serve millions of users and a multitude of purposes in all parts of the world.

In a few years, the Internet has merged itself as a very influential stage that has altered the way we commercialize, and associate with others. The Internet, has given an intercontinental or a "Globalized" aspect to the world. It has developed into a worldwide source of knowledge for innumerable people, at home, at school, and at work.

Originally, the ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) was created by the US in 1958 as an aftermath to the launching of USSR’s Sputnik. ARPA made way for the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) whose purpose was to interconnect the US military computers at the Pentagon, and other government offices.                

In 1965 the IPTO, started a project to create a network that gave the idea of packet switching. This technique paved the way for Resource Sharing Computer Networks which was officialized and accepted in June 1968 and laid the basis for the instigation of the working ARPANET the following year. There were by the end of 1971, fifteen sites linked to the premature ARPANET. The ARPANET used the Network Control Program (NCP), employing host-to-host junction and exchanging levels of the protocol stack. To answer the network's swift advancement, as more and more locations connected, TCP protocols were introduced during 1973.

The term "Internet" to define a single global TCP/IP network was invented in December 1974. The earliest TCP/IP-based wide-area network was operational by 1 January 1983, when all systems on the ARPANET were transferred from the previous NCP protocols. The flexibility of TCP/IP to adjust to current communication networks permitted for fast development.


The accessibility of the requirements and reference code allowed business industry to create interoperable network modules, such as routers, making original and consistent network equipment accessible from many corporations. This helped in the instant increase of the Internet and the propagation of local-area networking. It propagated the extensive administration and meticulous adaptation of TCP/IP on UNIX and virtually every other common operating system.


The essential resources and principles that made the Internet feasible were assembled for about two decades. The network later put on a public face in the 1990s. In 1989, an initially prominent web browser was ViolaWWW, created using the X Window System. It was later on substituted by the Mosaic web browser. By late 1994 there appeared to be an increased public awareness in the earlier academic, technical Internet. By 1996 the Internet had become widespread, and as a result, so had its use as an expression in reference to the World Wide Web.


Through the decade, the Internet effectively welcomed most of earlier individual computer networks. By the end of 1990s, it was calculated that traffic on the public Internet increased by 100 percent annually, and the average yearly increase in the quantity of Internet consumers was anticipated to be around 20% and 50%. This growth is mainly credited to no central authority, which permits organic growth of the network, along the non-proprietary open quality of the Internet protocols, which supports vendor interoperability and stops any one group from applying surplus power over the network. As of end of March this year, the calculated quantity of Internet consumers was about 2.095 billion (30.2% of world population).
