The Story of India (Documentary) very informative

2009-05-20T16:26:00.003-04:00

India has been at the centre of world history. But how did India come to be? What is India? These are the big questions behind this intrepid journey around the contemporary subcontinent. In this landmark series, historian and acclaimed writer Michael Wood embarks on a dazzling and exciting expedition through today's India, looking to the present for clues to her past, and to the past for clues to her future. The journey takes the viewer through majestic landscapes and reveals some of the greatest monuments and artistic treasures on Earth. From Buddhism to Bollywood, from mathematics to outsourcing, Michael Wood discovers India's impact on history.

Part1:Beginnings (looks at identity and the roots of India's famous "unity in diversity")

Part2:The Power of Ideas (Indian history last centuries BCE)

Part3:Spice Routes & Silk Roads (India became a great player in the first global economy)

Part4:Ages of Gold (India in the Middle Ages)

Final Solution - - Hindu Terrorists in India

2009-05-02T22:04:00.001-04:00

Extremist Hindus strive for a pure India for only Hindus. In India, Hindus kill Muslims on a daily basis. Once they are done they want to start killing Christians and other religions. Their main method of achieving this is to burn muslim children, women and men alive or to slaughter them with swords.

8th Nizam of Hyderabad

2008-07-12T12:21:00.003-04:00

Prince Mukarram Jah was crowned the 8th Nizam of Hyderabad in 1967 following the death of Osman Ali Khan. He soon found himself the target of literally hundreds of lawsuits as descendants of the 7th Nizam (who had fathered at least 200 illegitimate children, by over 80 mistresses!) vied for a share of Osman Ali Khan's enormous fortune. The 8th Nizam's life was constantly in danger from assassins. In the 1970's when the Indian Government abolished princely titles, privileges and privy purses, the 8th Nizam took the momentous decision to settle in Australia, to carve out the life of a "gentleman farmer".

Born 6 October 1933 in Nice, in France, Prince Mukarram Jah was the heir to possibly the world's biggest private fortune. The scion of two great dynasties, his maternal grandfather was the last Ottoman Caliph ('Abdu'l-Mijid II) and his paternal grandfather the 7th Nizam of Hyderabad (Osman Ali Khan), widely considered the richest man in the world during his lifetime, amassing a fortune worth a staggering US$210 billion in today's money (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealthy_historical_figures_2008).

Rare video of 8th Nizam of Hyderabad in 1967.

Hyderabad had been India's largest princely kingdom prior to Indian Independence. The Nizam was its ruler and in the mid 20th century, the world's richest man (Hyderabad had the largest diamond deposits in the world).

My City Hyderabad

2008-07-10T10:18:00.002-04:00

Introdction
Hyderabad is known for its rich history, culture and architecture representing its unique characteristic of a meeting point for North and South India, and its multi-lingual culture, both geographically and culturally.It is also known as city of Pearls. Hyderabad has been a place where people of all religions have co-existed peacefully for centuries.

Hyderabad is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, the city has an estimated population of 6.1 million people making it the 6th populous metropolitan in India.

Hyderabad is also one of the most developed cities in the country It is an emerging Information Technology (IT) and BioTechnology hub of India.

History
Sultan Quli Qutb Mulk was the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, The dynasty, previously a feudatory of Bahmani sultanate, declared independence in 1512. Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the 5th ruler of the dynasty, founded the city of Hyderabad on the banks of the Musi River in 1591; He also ordered the construction of the Charminar, the iconic monument of the city, in 1591, reportedly in gratitude to the almighty for arresting the plague epidemic before it did irreversible damage to his new city.As Qutb Shahi power and fortune rose during the 16th and early 17th centuries, Hyderabad became a center of a vibrant diamond trade. They contributed to the growth and development of Indo-Persian and Indo-Islamic literature and culture in Hyderabad. In the 16th century the city grew to accommodate the surplus population of Golconda and eventually became the capital of the Qutb Shahi rulers. Hyderabad became known for its gardens (called baghs) and its comfortable climate.
Mughal emperor Aurangzeb captured Hyderabad in 1687. During the short Mughal rule, the fortune of Hyderabad declined. Soon, the Mughal-appointed governors of the city gained more autonomy. In 1724, Asaf Jah I, who was granted the title Nizam-ul-Mulk ("governor of the country") by the Mughal emperor, defeated a rival official to establish control over Hyderabad. Thus began the Asaf Jahi dynasty that would rule Hyderabad until a year after India's independence from Britain. Asaf Jah's successors ruled as Nizams of Hyderabad. The rule of the seven Nizams saw the growth of Hyderabad both culturally and economically.
Hyderabad, under the Nizam's, was the largest princely state in India. Area wise it was as big as England and Scotland put together. The State had its own currency, mint, railways, and postal system. There was no income tax.
Soon after India gained independence, Hyderabad State merged with the Union of India. On November 1, 1956 the map of India was redrawn into linguistic states, and Hyderabad became the capital of Andhra Pradesh.

Origin of Name
Theories explaining the origins behind Hyderabad's name differ. A popular theory suggests that after founding the city, Muhammad Quli fell in love with and married a local Banjara girl known as Bhagamathi. He named this city after her as Bhagyanagaram. Upon her conversion to Islam, Bhagamathi changed her name to Hyder Mahal — and the new city's name was correspondingly changed to match it, resulting in the name "Hyderabad(literally, "the city of Hyder").

Culture
Hyderabad has been the meeting place of many different cultures and traditions. Historically, Hyderabad has been the city where distinct cultural and linguistic traditions of North India and South India meet. It is thus considered as the gateway to the South or gateway to the North. One can also perceive the strong fusion of the Muslim culture of Hyderabad with south Indian traditions of the region.
Hyderabad is a unique cosmopolitan city and home to people practicing Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism. Hyderabadis have developed their own distinctive culture, which is a mixture of ancient Hindu traditions of Telugu people and the centuries old Islamic Culture.
Telugu, Hindi , Urdu and English are the principal languages spoken in Hyderabad. Both Urdu and Telugu have linguistically impacted on each other in this region. The Urdu spoken here is also unique, with influences of Marathi and Telugu, giving rise to a dialect sometimes called Hyderabadi Urdu or Deccani. Hyderabad has always had one of the largest Urdu speaking populations in India.
The most famous dish of Hyderabad is Hyderabadi Biryani. Other culinary delights include Khubani ka Mitha, Pheni (a sweet vermicelli delicacy eaten during the festival of Diwali), Paya and Haleem (a meat dish traditionally eaten by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan).Also widely found on the corners of every street are the cafes which offer 'Irani chai' and 'Osmania biscuit' where one can see people sitting leisurely over a cup of 'chai' and talking for hours. The waiters do not write down the order but have a remarkable memory of making the exact bill even after hours.

Local Attractions
Charminar - the major landmark in Hyderabad with four graceful minarets.
Makkah Masjid - a stone-built mosque, immediately southwest of Charminar. Remarkable for its architecture, size and its royal splendor. This is one of the most beautiful masjid's in Hyderabad.
Laad Bazaar - directly to the west of Charminar, and known for its bangles & pearls.
Ramoji Film City (RFC) is the world’s largest integrated film studio complex, at nearly 2,000 acres. It is also one of Asia’s most popular tourism and recreation centres. Opened in 1996, it is located about 25 km from Hyderabad.

Conclusion
Hyderabad is the city of Love and Joy ! It has lot of Charm, and the people who live here have an Intrinsic Goodness in them that touches one and all. Hyderabad is renowned for Hospitality, Hyderabadi Biryani, Irani Chai and Pearls. Hyderabad is a city that reveres both its high-tech economy and ancient cultures.I hugely recommend anyone visiting India, to visit Hyderabad will not regret it for sure.

First Sufi Saint's Shrine in the USA

2008-07-09T11:08:00.005-04:00

Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Quadri (Rahmatulalaye)

Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Quadri (RA), a Sufi mystic, can best be remembered for his efforts to bring unity through understanding to the faithful of all religions.

Little is known of his early personal history. Records of his life began in the early 1900's when religious pilgrims traveling through the jungles of Sri Lanka first caught glimpse of a holy man. They were overwhelmed by the depth of divine knowledge that he imparted. Sometime later a pilgrim invited him to a nearby village, and with that began his public life as a teacher of wisdom.

Throughout Sri Lanka, people from all religious and ethnic traditions would listen to his public discourses. Many consulted him on how to conduct life's affairs, including public figures, politicians, the poor, and the learned.

In 1971 Bawa Muhaiyaddeen accepted an invitation to visit the United States. Here, once again, people from all religious, social and ethnic backgrounds would join to hear him speak. Across the United States, Canada and England, he won recognition from religious scholars, journalists, educators and world leaders. The United Nation's Assistant Secretary General, Robert Muller, asked for Bawa Muhaiyaddeen's guidance on behalf of all mankind. Time Magazine turned to him for clarification during the hostage crisis in 1980. Thousands more were touched by his wise words when interviewed in Psychology Today, the Harvard Divinity Bulletin, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Pittsburgh Press. Wherever he went, he tirelessly answered the many personal and mystical questions that people brought to him until his death on December 8th, 1986.

For fifteen years, M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen authored over twenty books and the Fellowship he founded recorded thousands of hours of audio and video discourses. The Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Fellowship now serves as a thriving community dedicated to studying and disseminating the vast treasury of his teachings. You are warmly invited to attend meetings at the central branch in Philadelphia on Sundays at 10 a. m. , or call 215-879-6300 for details on branch meetings nearest you.

The name Muhaiyaddeen literally means 'the giver of life to the true belief.' And indeed Bawa Muhaiyaddeen did spend his life awakening and strengthening faith in God within people's hearts. Though he was an unlettered man, he was able to guide and inspire people from all walks of life.
Many scholars and leaders from the Islamic, Judaic, Christian, and Hindu communities considered him to be a true saint.

My City Hyderabad

2007-06-13T05:06:00.000-04:00

Introdction
Hyderabad is known for its rich history, culture and architecture representing its unique characteristic of a meeting point for North and South India, and its multi-lingual culture, both geographically and culturally.It is also known as city of Pearls. Hyderabad has been a place where people of all religions have co-existed peacefully for centuries.

Hyderabad is the capital city of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, the city has an estimated population of 6.1 million people making it the 6th populous metropolitan in India.

Hyderabad is also one of the most developed cities in the country It is an emerging Information Technology (IT) and BioTechnology hub of India.

History
Sultan Quli Qutb Mulk was the founder of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, The dynasty, previously a feudatory of Bahmani sultanate, declared independence in 1512. Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the 5th ruler of the dynasty, founded the city of Hyderabad on the banks of the Musi River in 1591; He also ordered the construction of the Charminar, the iconic monument of the city, in 1591, reportedly in gratitude to the almighty for arresting the plague epidemic before it did irreversible damage to his new city.As Qutb Shahi power and fortune rose during the 16th and early 17th centuries, Hyderabad became a center of a vibrant diamond trade. They contributed to the growth and development of Indo-Persian and Indo-Islamic literature and culture in Hyderabad. In the 16th century the city grew to accommodate the surplus population of Golconda and eventually became the capital of the Qutb Shahi rulers. Hyderabad became known for its gardens (called baghs) and its comfortable climate.
Mughal emperor Aurangzeb captured Hyderabad in 1687. During the short Mughal rule, the fortune of Hyderabad declined. Soon, the Mughal-appointed governors of the city gained more autonomy. In 1724, Asaf Jah I, who was granted the title Nizam-ul-Mulk ("governor of the country") by the Mughal emperor, defeated a rival official to establish control over Hyderabad. Thus began the Asaf Jahi dynasty that would rule Hyderabad until a year after India's independence from Britain. Asaf Jah's successors ruled as Nizams of Hyderabad. The rule of the seven Nizams saw the growth of Hyderabad both culturally and economically.
Hyderabad, under the Nizam's, was the largest princely state in India. Area wise it was as big as England and Scotland put together. The State had its own currency, mint, railways, and postal system. There was no income tax.
Soon after India gained independence, Hyderabad State merged with the Union of India. On November 1, 1956 the map of India was redrawn into linguistic states, and Hyderabad became the capital of Andhra Pradesh.

Origin of Name
Theories explaining the origins behind Hyderabad's name differ. A popular theory suggests that after founding the city, Muhammad Quli fell in love with and married a local Banjara girl known as Bhagamathi. He named this city after her as Bhagyanagaram. Upon her conversion to Islam, Bhagamathi changed her name to Hyder Mahal — and the new city's name was correspondingly changed to match it, resulting in the name "Hyderabad(literally, "the city of Hyder").

Culture
Hyderabad has been the meeting place of many different cultures and traditions. Historically, Hyderabad has been the city where distinct cultural and linguistic traditions of North India and South India meet. It is thus considered as the gateway to the South or gateway to the North. One can also perceive the strong fusion of the Muslim culture of Hyderabad with south Indian traditions of the region.
Hyderabad is a unique cosmopolitan city and home to people practicing Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, and Zoroastrianism. Hyderabadis have developed their own distinctive culture, which is a mixture of ancient Hindu traditions of Telugu people and the centuries old Islamic Culture.
Telugu, Hindi , Urdu and English are the principal languages spoken in Hyderabad. Both Urdu and Telugu have linguistically impacted on each other in this region. The Urdu spoken here is also unique, with influences of Marathi and Telugu, giving rise to a dialect sometimes called Hyderabadi Urdu or Deccani. Hyderabad has always had one of the largest Urdu speaking populations in India. PAUSE
The most famous dish of Hyderabad is Hyderabadi Biryani. Other culinary delights include Khubani ka Mitha, Pheni (a sweet vermicelli delicacy eaten during the festival of Diwali), Paya and Haleem (a meat dish traditionally eaten by Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan).Also widely found on the corners of every street are the cafes which offer 'Irani chai' and 'Osmania biscuit' where one can see people sitting leisurely over a cup of 'chai' and talking for hours. The waiters do not write down the order but have a remarkable memory of making the exact bill even after hours.

Local Attractions
Charminar - the major landmark in Hyderabad with four graceful minarets.
Makkah Masjid - a stone-built mosque, immediately southwest of Charminar. Remarkable for its architecture, size and its royal splendor. This is one of the most beautiful masjid's in Hyderabad.
Laad Bazaar - directly to the west of Charminar, and known for its bangles & pearls.
Ramoji Film City (RFC) is the world’s largest integrated film studio complex, at nearly 2,000 acres. It is also one of Asia’s most popular tourism and recreation centres. Opened in 1996, it is located about 25 km from Hyderabad.

Conclusion
Hyderabad is the city of Love and Joy ! It has lot of Charm, and the people who live here have an Intrinsic Goodness in them that touches one and all. Hyderabad is renowned for Hospitality, Hyderabadi Biryani, Irani Chai and Pearls. Hyderabad is a city that reveres both its high-tech economy and ancient cultures.I hugely recommend anyone visiting India, to visit Hyderabad will not regret it for sure.

WikiPedia

Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based, free content encyclopedia project. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers; its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Web site. The name is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a type of collaborative website) and encyclopedia. Its primary servers are in Tampa, Florida, with additional servers in Amsterdam and Seoul.

Wikipedia was launched as the English Wikipedia on January 15, 2001, as a complement to Nupedia, an expert-written and now defunct encyclopedia. The project is now operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization created by Jimmy Wales, and has over six million articles in 250 languages, including 1.6 million in the English edition. Wikipedia has steadily risen in popularity since its inception and currently ranks among the twelve most-visited websites worldwide.

Wikipedia uses wiki software to allow multiple authors to edit the encyclopedia simultaneously and to archive their changes in a database. Relevant articles may be found by following hyperlinks from one article to another, in the same way as cross-references in traditional works. Wikipedia also has its own topical organization; articles are grouped into a searchable category system analogous to the Outline of Knowledge found in the Propædia of the Encyclopædia Britannica, except that it is not strictly hierarchical. Wikipedia also has portals intended to provide readers with an overview of a topic.

Mind Tools & SWOT Analysis

2007-03-05T05:32:00.000-05:00

Mind Tools is one of the excellent website with very good informative & useful stuff to boost our career and develop ourself with very good techniques like Time Management, Stress Management, Information Skills, Problem Solving, Memory Improvement, Leadership Skills, Decision Making & Practical Creativity.

So why wait please visit Mind Blowing Mind tools and get engerized.

SWOT Analysis

SWOT Analysis (also known as TOWS analysis) is a powerful technique for understanding your Strengths and Weaknesses, and for looking at the Opportunities and Threats you face.SWOT Analysis is just one of 100 essential career skills that you can learn on the Mind Tools site.
To carry out a SWOT Analysis, print off free worksheet, and write down answers to the following questions:

Strengths:

What advantages does your company have?

What do you do better than anyone else?

What unique or lowest-cost resources do you have access to?

What do people in your market see as your strengths?

Consider this from an internal perspective, and from the point of view of your customers and people in your market. And be realistic: It's far too easy to fall prey to "not invented here syndrome". Also, if you are having any difficulty with this, try writing down a list of your characteristics. Some of these will hopefully be strengths!

In looking at your strengths, think about them in relation to your competitors - for example, if all your competitors provide high quality products, then a high quality production process is not a strength in the market, it is a necessity.

Weaknesses:

What could you improve?

What should you avoid?

What are people in your market likely to see as weaknesses?

Again, consider this from an internal and external basis: Do other people seem to perceive weaknesses that you do not see? Are your competitors doing any better than you? It is best to be realistic now, and face any unpleasant truths as soon as possible.

Opportunities:

Where are the good opportunities facing you?

What are the interesting trends you are aware of?

Useful opportunities can come from such things as:

Changes in technology and markets on both a broad and narrow scale

Changes in government policy related to your field

Changes in social patterns, population profiles, lifestyle changes, etc.

Local Events

A useful approach to looking at opportunities is to look at your strengths and ask yourself whether these open up any opportunities.

Alternatively, look at your weaknesses and ask yourself whether you could open up opportunities by eliminating them.

Threats:

What obstacles do you face?

What is your competition doing?

Are the required specifications for your job, products or services changing?

Is changing technology threatening your position?

Do you have bad debt or cash-flow problems?

Could any of your weaknesses seriously threaten your business?

Carrying out this analysis will often be illuminating - both in terms of pointing out what needs to be done, and in putting problems into perspective.

Strengths and weaknesses are often internal to your organization. Opportunities and threats often relate to external factors. For this reason the SWOT Analysis is sometimes called Internal-External Analysis and the SWOT Matrix is sometimes called an IE Matrix Analysis Tool.

You can also apply SWOT Analysis to your competitors. As you do this, you'll start to see how and where you should compete against them.

SWOT Analysis Example

A start-up small consultancy business might draw up the following SWOT or TOWS matrix:
Strengths:

We are able to respond very quickly as we have no red tape, no need for higher management approval, etc.

We are able to give really good customer care, as the current small amount of work means we have plenty of time to devote to customers

Our lead consultant has strong reputation within the market

We can change direction quickly if we find that our marketing is not working

We have little overhead, so can offer good value to customers

Weaknesses:

Our company has no market presence or reputation

We have a small staff with a shallow skills base in many areas

We are vulnerable to vital staff being sick, leaving, etc.

Our cash flow will be unreliable in the early stages

Opportunities:

Our business sector is expanding, with many future opportunities for success

Our local council wants to encourage local businesses with work where possible
Our competitors may be slow to adopt new technologies

Threats:

Will developments in technology change this market beyond our ability to adapt?
A small change in focus of a large competitor might wipe out any market position we achieve

The consultancy may therefore decide to specialize in rapid response, good value services to local businesses. Marketing would be in selected local publications, to get the greatest possible market presence for a set advertising budget. The consultancy should keep up-to-date with changes in technology where possible.

Key points:

SWOT Analysis is a simple but powerful framework for analyzing your company's Strengths and Weaknesses, and the Opportunities and Threats you face. This helps you to focus on your strengths, minimize threats, and take the greatest possible advantage of opportunities available to you.

How To Design Programs: An Introduction To Programming and Computing
This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail that are important for everyone, not just future computer programmers.

How to be a Programmer: A Short, Comprehensive, and Personal Summary
Having read this essay, I can't help but to wish that I had read it when I first started my career as a professional programmer. The author has done a great job of summarizing so many things we need to know as a programmer, from a programmer perspective. Started from the basic technical skills every programmer must acquire, to managerial skill one must have to manage a team of programmers (some of us don't wish to stay as a programmer for the rest of our career).

A Beginners C++
A Beginners C++ is primarily intended for introductory Computer Science courses that use C++ as an implementation language. However, the book should be equally suited to an individual who wants to learn how to program their own personal computer.

Concrete Abstractions - An Introduction to Computer Science Using Scheme

How To Think Like A Computer Scientist, Java Version
The single most important skill for a computer scientist is problem-solving. That is, the ability to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and express a solution clearly and accurately. As it turns out, the process of learning to program is an excellent opportunity to practice problem-solving skills.

List of Diseases That Can Be Cured By Water Therapy

Therapy Procedure

Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing your teeth) drink 1.5 liters of water i.e., 5 to 6 glasses. Let us all know that ancient Indians termed this therapy as "Usha Paana Chikitsa" . You may wash your face thereafter.

Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after drinking these 1.5 liters of water.

It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks should be taken the previous night.

If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose.
It is difficult to drink 1.5 liters of water at one time, but you will get used to it gradually.

Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and to balance two glasses after a gap of two minutes.

You may find the necessity to urinate 2 to 3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time.

By Research and Experience

Constipation - 1 day

Acidity - 2 days

Diabetes - 7 days

Cancer - 4 weeks

Pulmonary TB - 3 months

BP & Hypertension - 4 weeks

Note:
It is advised that persons suffering from Arthritis or Rheumatism should practice this therapy thrice a day, i.e. morning, midday and night, 1 hour before meals for one week; and twice a day subsequently until the disease disappears.

How Does Pure Water Act?

Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as " Haematopaises ". That the mucous folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that the mucous fold produces new fresh blood.

If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucous folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.

New Work permit Rules in Ireland

2007-01-26T08:58:00.000-05:00

Hi All,

I hope most of you all are aware of latest changes to the employment permits in Ireland, please find more details in the links below.

All the best all!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Minister For Enterprise, Trade & Employment Micheál Martin has announced new work permit arrangements for migrants from outside Europe which come into force on February 1.

There will be four new categories of work permits. The first is a Green Card system, mainly for professionals earning more than €60,000 a year. They will be allowed to bring their spouses with them.

The second scheme is a work permit system covering non-Green Card occupations and involving workers earning between €30,000 and €60,000. The employer must prove that the migrant is needed by advertising the job and only in exceptional circumstances will permits be granted for workers earning below €30,000 a year.

The third scheme, covering intra-company transfers, will allow multi-nationals based outside Europe to transfer staff to work in Ireland. The scheme covers workers earning over €40,000 a year who have been employed by the company for at least a year.

The fourth scheme covers spouses and dependants of migrants holding work permits who will themselves be allowed to apply for work permits. There will also be more flexible arrangements for foreign students graduating from Irish collages wishing to seek work here. No work permit will be issued for any job paying below the minimum wage.

The Minister also outlined elements of the new employment rights system designed to protect workers in Ireland. He warned that employers breaching these rules regarding work permits could face fines of up to €50,000 or a prison sentence of up to five years.

Chambers Ireland said the employment act will enable Ireland to compete more effectively for skilled labour and brings the Irish system in line with international best practice.

Wash your hands before taking your meals. It is keeping with the rules of cleanliness and neatness that your mind should be satisfied about the cleanliness of your hands before starting the meal.

Say
Bismilla hirrahhama nirrahim
' in the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent ; the Most Merciful ',
while starting the meal. Should you forget this, then say

As soon as you realise the oversight during the meal. Remember, the meal which is not consecrated by the Name of Allah is made lawful by the devil for himself.

Do not lean against anything when sitting down for a meal. Sit in a humble position with your knees raised or legs crossed or with one knee prostrate and the other one raised. The Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h ) used to sit for meals. in this posture.

Always eat with your right hand. However, the left hand may be used simultaneously with the right hand, if needed.

Use three fingers while eating. If required, use four fingers except the little finger. Do not put your fingers in the food up to their roots.

Do not take a big morsel, nor a small one. Put the second morsel into your mouth only after swallowing the first one.

Do not wipe your fingers with bread. This is a filthy habit.

Avoid brushing off the loaves and refrain from knocking them about also.

Eat out of the plate from the edge which is nearest to you. Do not put your hand in the middle of the plate nor extend your hand to eat from that edge of the plate which is nearer to other diners.

If the morsel drops from your hands pick it up and eat it after cleaning or washing it.

Eat in company. Dining in company promotes cordiality and love and is a source of blessing.

Do not find fault with the food. Leave it if you don't like it.

Do not eat while the food is piping hot or simmering.

Avoid breaking into guffaws or indulging in too much conversation during dinner.

Be a Muslim for life-Not just 30 days

2006-09-30T19:09:00.000-04:00

Be a Muslim for life-Not just 30 days
By Alveena Salim

Once again it’s that special time of year again. The month of mercy and forgiveness. The month in which your dua’s get accepted and sins get forgiven. The month in which there’s a buzz in the air and everyone feels good. The month in which the religious people who lived before spent six whole months anticipating.

The month in which the dust comes of your copy of the Qur’an and the Mosques start to get packed out. The month in which tasty samosa’s and pakora’s are served daily at Iftar time, and the month in which millions of people all over the world strengthen and revive their relationship with Allah. Yep you guessed it- Ramadan’s Back!!!

But what does Ramadan mean to YOU?
Does the thought of mum dragging you out of bed in the middle of the night bug you? Do you get irritated over the fact that you’ll have to lock off from your girl/boyfriend for a month? Are you dreading the thought of growing a beard/wearing a Hijaab for a month? Do you groan at the thought of reading Tarawih every night in your stuffy local Mosque?

Are you annoyed over the fact that you’ll have to put up with people’s smelly breath? Are you worrying over the fact that stuffing yourself silly at Iftari time will make you put on weight? Are you stressing over the fact that your stomach will rumble in class and you’ll have no strength or time to do your homework or assignments in the evening?

Are you getting annoyed over the fact that mum will make you visit at least 20 annoying aunties houses with food- minutes before its time to open your fast? Are you getting angry over the fact that there’ll be a ban on TV/films and rude songs? Are you getting agitated over the fact that you’ll have to put up with your cravings for a fag/joint? Are you dreading the tempers that will rise at Iftari time over that last samosa?

Is Ramadan a month of blessings for you or a headache?

What Do YOU Get Out Of Ramadan?
If you overlook these minor irritations, trust me you’ll realise that Ramadan really is the month of great benefits. So what do you get out of Ramadan?

First of all, the fast in the month of Ramadan is an act of worship which brings reward from Allah. It is mentioned in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah multiplies the rewards of His servants by ten times up to 700 times except for the reward of fasting. In other words, there is no limit for the reward of fasting….and I’m sure we could all really benefit from the extra bonus points!

Secondly, fasting is a means of self-purification. The month of Ramadan is the month to purify yourself and better our ways. Have you noticed that in Ramadan a person does not have the desire (or strength) to commit bad deeds?

A person does not fight, talk, or argue etc as much as usual. This is because the devils are locked up and is not tempting us to commit sins. The Prophet said:

'When the first night of Ramadan comes, the devils and the rebellious jinns are chained, the gates of Hell are locked and the gates of Paradise are opened (Tirmidhi).
So this is the month in which it is easier to break bad habits. Have you been trying to give up smoking/listening to rude songs and swearing for some time now? Now is the time to do it! Have you been trying to get regular with your prayers?

Now is the time to get into practice! Have you been trying to cut of from your bad mates for some time? Now is the time to cut them off! Have you been meaning to grow a beard/start wearing a Hijaab? Now is the time to take that plunge! Have you been meaning to lock off for good from your girl/boyfriend? Now is the time to dump them!

Ramadan is the time to break bad habits, that is providing we WANT to change for the better. The devil is locked up and there’s an increase in the mercy of Allah-Who can think of a better time to sort themselves out?

The third benefit of Ramadan is that during this month a person can achieve self control. You see all sins that we commit is cos of our desires, and the fuel of which is food. When you eat less your desires will be weakened.

This is why it’s easier to avoid lying, back biting, swearing, doing fraud and chatting up members of the opposite sex when you’re fasting. But it’s important not to pig out at Iftari time and make up for all that you missed during the day. Trust me, if you do that you’ll just feel knackered and will be in no mood to read your Tarawih’s.

The fourth benefit of Ramadan is that this is the month of forgiveness and mercy. So if you have a dodgy shameful past and want to erase history and start again with a clean slate and if you want Allah to forgive all your sins and make it easy for you to live your life as a good Muslim- now is the time to beg for Allah’s forgiveness!

The Prophet said “Every night Allah descends to the lowest heaven, when only one third of the night remains. He says “Is there any servant of mine who invokes me for anything so that I may answer his request? Is there anyone who begs Me for pardon and forgiveness, so that I may to forgive him?” (Bukhari and Muslim)

This is the month in which many people decide to take that plunge and change their life around. So take advantage of every special moment, especially the blessed night called Laila tul Qadr which falls in the last 10 days of Ramadan which is considered better then a thousand months- ask for whatever you want!…..No, don’t ask God to hook you up the fittest guy/gal in town or to sort you out with a lifetime supply of weed or to win the lottery!

One of the main benefits of Ramadan is to gain Taqwa, which is awareness and the fear of Allah. So how does fasting help us to gain Taqwa? When we refuse tasty halal food and drink from dawn to dusk for the sake of Allah, it becomes so much easier for us to avoid doing those things that are forbidden for us.

Think about it, if we can say ‘No’ to food and drink when we are fasting for the sake of Allah, we will find it easier to say ‘No’ to the next fit guy/girl who asks for our number.

We will find it easier to say ‘No’ to all the dodgy things that our mates want us to do. We will find it easier to say ‘No’ to the next person who offers us a fag/joint or asks us to meet them up in some dodgy place. That’s what Taqwa’s all about.

So how can you get the most out of Ramadan?

1.Become regular with your prayers and don’t miss your Sehri.

2.Read the Qur’an daily (with the english translation)...even if its a few lines.

3.Increase your knowledge about Islam. Grab a book and start listening/watching lectures of good Islamic scholars. Now is the time to make friends with the Imaam and ask him questions about Islam.

4.Give up swearing, cussing, backchattin' and control your temper.

5.Give up all your dodgy undercover activities i.e. quit smoking fags/weed, fraud, dump your girl/boyfriend, quit listening to rude songs, quit watching dodgy programmes on TV etc etc.

If you can make these changes during Ramadan you can most definitely carry on these good practices for the rest of the year. So take advantage of this month properly, re-energize your batteries and reap its benefits for the rest of the year and maybe even for the rest of your life!

If you're just gonna stop eating and drinking whilst fasting yet still do dodgy stuff, don't follow and behave according to Islam, don't try to become a better Muslim then you will get didley skwot out of fasting. The Prophet said:

'If a person does not avoid false talk and false conduct during fast, Allah does not care if he abstains from his/her food and drink.' (Bukhari)
So people, appreciate, welcome and respect this year's Ramadan with good actions and have the intention to change ourselves for the better. Be a Muslim for life-Not just 30 days.

UK Visit Visa Process

2006-08-27T09:24:00.000-04:00

One can apply online for visit visa with very simple steps to follow, pay the fees by credit and get email confirmation to track visa application status.

Please find some of the frequently asked questions & answers for it.

What is a visa?
A visa is a certificate that is put into your passport or travel document by an Entry Clearance Officer at a British mission overseas. The visa gives you permission to enter the UK.
If you have a valid UK visa we will not normally refuse you entry to the UK unless your circumstances have changed, or you gave false information or did not tell us important facts when you applied for your visa.
When you arrive in the UK, an Immigration Officer may ask you questions, so take all relevant documents in your hand luggage.

How do I qualify to travel to the UK as a visitor?
You must be able to show that:
you want to visit the UK for no more than six months
you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit, and
you have enough money to support yourself and live in the UK without working or needing any help from public funds.

How long will my visa be valid for?
With a visit visa you can usually enter and leave the UK any number of times while the visa is still valid. The Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) may occasionally limit a visa so that it is valid for only one or two entries. You cannot stay for longer than six months on each visit. Visit visas can be valid for six months, one year, two years, five years or ten years. You can apply for a visa valid for any of these periods. The ECO may decide to make your visa valid for a shorter time than you have asked for, for example if you are not a regular traveller or have never visited the UK before.

What do I need to make my application?
You will need the following.
Application form VAF1 - non-settlement
which you have filled in correctly.
Your passport or travel document.
A recent passport-sized (45mm x 35mm), colour photograph of yourself. This should be:
taken against a light coloured background
clear and of good quality, and not framed or backed
printed on normal photographic paper, and
full face and without sunglasses, hat or other head covering unless you wear this for cultural or religious reasons.
The visa fee. This cannot be refunded, and you must normally pay it in the local currency of the country where you are applying.
Any supporting documents relevant to your application.

What supporting documents should I include with my application?
You should include all the documents you can to show that you qualify for entry to the UK as a visitor. If you do not, we may refuse your application.

As a guide, you should include:

bank statements, payslips, or some other evidence to show that you can pay for the trip and that you have enough money to support yourself and any dependants without working or getting any help from public funds, and
evidence that you intend to leave the UK at the end of your visit (for example, a letter from your employer).

If you are visiting family or friends you will need:

a letter from your sponsor (the person you are visiting) explaining your relationship with them and the purpose of your visit.

If your sponsor will be supporting you during your visit, or paying for the cost of the visit, you will need:

payslips, bank statements, or some other evidence to show that they have enough money to support you.

What will happen when I make my application?
The Entry Clearance Officer will try to make a decision using your application form and the supporting documents you have provided. If this is not possible, they will need to interview you.

Please check your visa when you get it. You should make sure that:

your personal details are correct
it correctly states the purpose for which you want to come to the UK, and
it is valid for the date on which you want to travel. (You can ask for it to be post-dated for up to three months if you do not plan to travel immediately.)

If you think there is anything wrong with your visa, contact the visa section immediately.

Can I appeal if you refuse my visit visa?
If we refuse you a visa to visit a close relative, you can appeal against our decision.

The Entry Clearance Officer will tell you if you can appeal.

For more information about appeals, see Appeals (INF 20)guidance.

PROUD TO BE INDIAN

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan
officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on
business for
two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that
the
bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man
hands
over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the
bank. He
produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees
to
accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its
officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000
Ferrari
as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then
drives the
Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there. Two
weeks
later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which
comes
to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had
your
business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a
little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that
you
are a multi-millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to
borrow
$5,000'". The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park
my car
for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"

Healing From Many diseases like Indigestion,Bladder Infections,Toothache,Hair Loss,Cholesterol,Colds,Influenza,Infertility,Upset Stomach,Gas,Heart Diseases,Immune System,Old Age,Pimples,Skin Infections,Weight Loss,Cancer,Fatigue & Bad Breath

Warning! Honey should never be given to a child under the age of 12
months.
"And your Lord inspired the bee, saying: 'Take you habitations in the
mountains and in the trees and in what they erect. Then, eat of all
fruits,
and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you).' There comes
forth
from their bellies, a drink of varying color wherein is healing for
men.
Verily, in this indeed a sign for people who think." (An-Nahl 16:68-69)

Allah's Messenger (SAW) said:

"Healing is in three things: cupping, a gulp of honey or cauterization,
(branding with fire) but I forbid my followers to use cauterization
(branding with fire)." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

A man came to the Prophet (SAW) and said, "My brother has some
abdominal
trouble." The Prophet (SAW) said to him: "Let him drink honey." The
man
came for the second time and the Prophet said to him, 'Let him drink
honey."
He came for the third time and the Prophet said, "Let him drink honey."
He
returned again and said, "I have done that ' The Prophet then said,
"Allah
has said the truth, but your brother's abdomen has told a lie. Let him
drink
honey." So he made him drink honey and he was cured. (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is found that mixture of Honey and Cinnamon cures many diseases.

Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world.

Ayurvedic as well as Yunani medicine have been using honey as a vital
medicine for centuries. Scientists of today also accept honey as a Ram
Ban
(very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used
without any side effects for any kind of diseases.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the
right
dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients also.

A famous magazine named Weekly World News published in Canada dated 17
January, 95 has given a list of diseases that can be cured by Honey and
Cinnamon as researched by western scientists.

Arthritis
Take one part honey to two parts of luke warm water and add a small
teaspoon
of cinnamon powder, make a paste and massage it on the itching part of
the
body slowly. It is noticed that the pain recedes within a minute or
two.

Or arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot
water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon
powder.

If drunk regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent
research
done at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors
treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon. Honey and half
teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a
week out
of the 200 people so treated practically 73 patients were totally
relieved
of pain and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk
or
move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.

Hair Loss
Those suffering from hair loss or baldness, may apply a paste of hot
olive
oil, one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder before
bath
and keep it for approx. 15 min and then wash the hair. Also found very
effective if kept for only 5 minutes.

Bladder Infections
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a
glass
of luke warm water and drink it. It destroys the germs of the bladder.

Toothache
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of
honey
and apply on the aching tooth. This may be done 3 times a day daily
till
such time that the tooth has stopped aching.

Cholesterol
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed
in 16
ounces of tea water, if given to a cholesterol patient, it reduces the
level
of cholesterol in the blood by 10% within 2 hours.

As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken 3 times a day any chronic
cholesterol is cured.

As per the information received in the said journal, pure honey taken
with
food daily relieves complains of cholesterol.

Colds
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon
luke
warm honey with 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days.

This process will cure most chronic cough, cold and clear the sinuses.

Influenza
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural
ingredient
which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.

Infertility
Yunani and Ayurvedic have been using honey for years in medicine to
strengthen the semen of men. If impotent men regularly take two
tablespoon
of honey before sleeping, their problem will be solved. In China, Japan
and
Far-East countries, women who do not conceive and to strengthen the
uterus
have been taking cinnamon powder for centuries.

Women who cannot conceive may take a pinch of cinnamon powder in half
teaspoon of honey and apply it on the gums frequently throughout the
day, so
that it slowly mixes with the saliva and enters the body.

A couple in Maryland, America had no children for 14 years and had left
hope
of having a child of their own. When told about this process husband
and
wife started taking honey and cinnamon as stated above, the wife
conceived
after a few months and had twins at full term.

Indigestion
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before
food,
relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.

Subhana-Allah this REALLY works. - Sister Asma@TheMuslimWoman.com

Upset Stomach
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomachache and also clears
stomach
ulcers from the root.

Gas
According to the studies done in India & Japan, it is revealed that if
honey
is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

Heart Diseases
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread instead of
jelly
and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast.

It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from
heart
attack. Also those who have already had an attack, if they do this
process
daily, are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the
above
process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In
America
and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully
and
have found that due to the increasing age the arteries and veins which
lose
their flexibility and get clogged are revitalized.

Immune System
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system
and
protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have
found
that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use
of
honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacteria and
viral
diseases.

Old Age
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly arrests
the
ravages of old age. Take 4 spoons of honey, 1 spoon of cinnamon powder
and 3
cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 times a
day.

this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with
warm
water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.

honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts.

Weight Loss

at
night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one
cup
water. If taken regularly it reduces the weight of even the most obese
person. Also drinking of this mixture regularly does not allow the fat
to
accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie
diet.

Cancer
Recent research in Japan and Australia has reveled that advanced cancer
of
the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering
from
these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with
one
teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month 3 times a day.

Fatigue
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more
helpful
than detrimental to the body strength. Senior citizens who take honey
and
cinnamon power in equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr.Milton
who has
done research says that half tablespoon honey taken in one glass of
water
and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in
the
afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts
decreasing, increases the vitality of the body within a week.

Bad Breath
People of South America, first thing in the morning gargle with one
teaspoon
of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water. So their breath stays
fresh
throughout the day.

Why pork is forbidden in Islam?

2006-06-25T18:54:00.000-04:00

The significance of halal and the reason why pork is forbidden in Islam?

This is very nice conversation between Bob & Younus, which will answer the above questions.

Bob:Tell me why is it that a Muslim is very particular about the words Halaal and Haraam; what do they mean?

Yunus: That which is permissible is termed Halaal and that which I not permissible is termed Haraam and it is the Quran which draws the distinction between the two.

Bob:Can you give me an example?

Yunus: Yes, Islam has prohibited ! blood of any type. You will agree that a chemical analysis of blood shows that it contains an abundance of uric acid, a chemical substance which can be injurious to human health.

Bob: You're right about the toxic nature of uric acid, in the human being it is excreted as a waste product and in fact we are told that 98% of the body's uric acid is extracted from the blood by the kidneys and removed through urination.

Yunus: Now I think that you'll appreciate the special prescribed method of animal slaughter in Islam.

Bob: What do you mean?

Yunus: You see, the wielder of the knife, whilst taking the name of the 'Almighty', makes an incision through the jugular veins, leaving all other veins and organs intact.

Bob: I see, this causes the death of the animal by a total loss of blood from the! body, rather than an injury to any vital organ.

Yunus: Yes, were the organs, example the heart, the liver, or the brain crippled or damaged, the animal could die immediately and its blood would congeal in its veins and would eventually permeate the flesh. This implies that the animal flesh would be permeated and contaminated with uric acid and therefore very poisonous; only today did our dietitians realize such a thing.

Bob: Again, while on the topic of food; Why do Muslims condemn the eating of pork or ham or any foods related to pigs or swine.

Yunus: Actually, apart from the Quran prohibiting the consumption of pork,bacon (pig flesh); in fact the Bible too in Leviticus chapter 11, verse 8, regarding swine it says, "of their flesh (of the swine another name for pig)shall you not eat, and of their carcass you shall not touch; they are " unclean to you." Further, did you know that a pig cannot be slaughtered at the neck for it does not have a neck; that is according to its natural anatomy. A Muslim reasons that if the pig was to be slaughtered and fit for human consumption the Creator would have provided it with a neck. " Nonetheless, all that aside, I am sure you are well informed about the harmful effects of the consumption of pork, in any form, be it pork chops, ham, bacon.

Bob: The medical science finds that there is a risk for various diseases as the pig is found to be a host for many parasites and potential diseases.

Yunus: Yes, even apart from that, as we talked about uric acid content in the blood, it is important to note that the pig's biochemistry excretes only 2% of its total uric acid content, the remaining 98% remains as an integral part of the body.

Please forward to others.......it may answer some of their questions especially when the children ask
