I condemn internet censorship by Islamic Ministry in Maldives

2009-03-16T08:51:00.002+05:30

I condemn the blocking of certain websites by Islamic Ministry , This is insane
They are out of their foking minds.
Don't they have better things to do then blocking internet.lol..

Is this the freedom of expression , and free speech our President is advocating, if this is so we have a very dark future ahead.
Its time we start opposing this. Say no to internet internet censorship.

Easy Homes Pvt Ltd Scam

2008-11-20T08:24:00.003+05:30

Two room apartment for Rf 243 .(for two years)

Its more like a lottery ,rather than a lucky draw..

You have to buy a key tag to enter the lucky draw..

They are aiming at 3000 customer withing 5 months.

I did a small calculation

Imagine if they got 3000 people to buy this key tag thin ,they can generate

3000*243 =729000 (Seven hundred twenty nine thousand rufiya)

729000/24 months . = 30375 (Thirty thousand three hundred and seventy five rufiyaa)

So they are actually giving this apartment for Rf 30375 per month.

For the person who win this lottery it may be for Rf 243 but Easy Homes people are actually making a lot more than the current market value of a two room apartment .

Think twice before you buy this key tag thing.

Stop wasting public funds on celebrating a win, which should have been won ages before.

This win is just not enough compared to the money wasted over the years in the name of football development in Maldives.
Don't try to mislead the public making this larger than life.

Condemning Violence

2006-02-09T22:04:00.000+05:30

this is an e-mail message i got from a friend

To all Muslims:

This world is for us and them – neither merely for us, nor merely for them.

I am utterly confused and baffled by the escalating violence by Muslims all over the world over the cartoons satirizing Prophet Muhammad.

I condemn in the strongest possible terms the violent reactions by all Muslims at the cartoons.

I call upon everybody who has a stake in this issue to face the problem with intelligence and with a sense of civilized people. I also call upon Muslim religious scholars and institutions all over the world to issue fatwas to bring these violent acts - which are being carried out in the name of Islam and Prophet Muhammad - to a halt.

Muslim violent reaction is neither justified in Islamic teaching nor in any acceptable norms of human behavior, and, above all, nor are they reacting in the sprit of Islam – peace and tolerance – nor in the foot steps of the Prophet.

Have Muslims forgotten their Prophet's tolerance and intelligence when he was humiliated and attacked by the Meccans?

Have Muslims forgotten that their own brothers and sisters commit far greater sins day in and day out, but that Muslims do nothing much to stop them? Have Muslims forgotten that their corrupt leaders oppress their people, but that Muslims do nothing about it? Have Muslims forgotten that their own people in the name of Allah kill innocent people often by blowing themselves up, and that Muslims do not protest against their barbarism?

If Muslims love the Prophet the greatest good they can do to him is to abide by Allah's Message. If violent rampage is love, that love is like that of a mad person – which is not real love but some kind of psychological sickness.

Muslim violent reactions are characterized by their guilt owing to the fact that they have absolutely failed to exalt true Islamic Message and abide by Allah's teachings. The damage by their reactions can have far-reaching consequences that may make peaceful con-existence difficult if not impossible.

After all, Muslims should not expect non-Muslims to accept their traditions, and thus apply their rulings on them. If so, Muslims must be on a rampage maiming them simply because they do not believe in Allah. And what greater sin can there be than not believing in the one true God? Who should Muslims love more than Allah? That Muslims do not react violently does not mean Muslims do not love Allah, but shows that violent reactions at such acts though contrary to their religion, is not justified.

To the cartoon publishers:

I believe freedom of expression is a sacred good, so is understanding and respecting the sensitivities of other people.

9 February 2006

P.S. Please pass this message to as many Muslims as possible.

What is this Saccharine???

2005-10-23T02:49:00.000+05:30

I come across the name saccharin in the ingerdients of many food products, specially in the famous Supari(betel nut-with added flavors)
Mentioned as an artificial sweetner.
Well i thought to find out some information about this saccharine and here is what i got after a little googling.

Saccharin was discovered a century ago and has been used as a non-caloric sweetener in foods and beverages for more than 100 years. American consumers and the doctors, dentists and dietitians who counsel them have overwhelmingly supported its benefits.

Benefits

Saccharin has been used to sweeten foods and beverages without calories or carbohydrates for over a century. Its use was considerable during the sugar shortages of the two world wars, particularly in Europe.

In the United States, its daily use by several generations of Americans has made saccharin an integral part of the American lifestyle. It is particularly important to those whose diets require a restriction of caloric or carbohydrate intake, such as persons with diabetes. Most health practitioners favor the use of a non-caloric sweetener like saccharin in weight reduction and for people with diabetes.

According to opinion research, people use saccharin to stay in better overall health, control weight or maintain an attractive physical appearance. Research also has shown that health professionals believe saccharin is especially beneficial to persons with diabetes and the obese, and helps reduce dental cavities.

Throughout the 1970s, saccharin was the only low-calorie sweetener available in the United States. Saccharin continues to be important for a wide range of low-calorie and sugar-free food and beverage applications. It is used in the U.S. in such products as soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, baked goods, jams, chewing gum, canned fruit, candy, dessert toppings and salad dressings. One of its most popular uses is in Sweet 'N Low®, a tabletop sweetener. Saccharin also is used in cosmetic products, vitamins and pharmaceuticals.

The current availability of saccharin and three other low-calorie sweeteners, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and sucralose, allows manufacturers to utilize a "multiple sweetener approach" -- using the most appropriate sweetener, or combination of sweeteners, for a given product.

No low-calorie sweetener is perfect for all uses. However, a variety of sweeteners enables the development of a much wider range of new, good-tasting, low-calorie products to meet consumer demand. Also, a variety of low-calorie sweeteners provides products with increased stability, improved taste, lower production costs and more choices for the consumer.

Safety

Saccharin has been the subject of extensive scientific research. It is one of the most studied ingredients in the food supply. Although the totality of the available research indicates sacccharin is safe for human consumption, there has been controversy over its safety. The basis for the controversy rests primarily on findings of bladder tumors in some male rats fed high doses of sodium saccharin.

Considerable saccharin research, however, indicates safety at human levels of consumption. The average user of saccharin ingests less than one ounce of the sweetener each year.

The scientific data supporting saccharin's safety include the following:
Extensive research on human populations has established no association between saccharin and cancer. More than 30 human studies have been completed and indicate saccharin's safety at human levels of consumption.

In 14 single-generation animal studies involving several species of animals, saccharin was not shown to induce cancer in any organ, even at exceptionally high dose levels.

Saccharin is not metabolized (it passes through the body unchanged) and does not react with DNA (nucleic acid present in all living cells), meaning that saccharin lacks two of the major characteristics of a classical carcinogen.

Saccharin is approved in more than 100 countries around the world and has been reviewed and determined safe by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) of the World Health Organization and the Scientific Committee for Food of the European Union. Based on current research, JECFA recently doubled the ADI (acceptable daily intake) for saccharin. JECFA noted that the animal data which earlier raised questions about saccharin are not considered relevant to humans.

Controversial Rat Experiments

In summary, the case against saccharin still rests primarily on controversial high-dose rat studies in which a sensitive strain was fed the human equivalent of the sodium saccharin in hundreds of cans of diet soft drink a day for a lifetime. Even then, the tests produced bladder tumors only in some of the male rats at the highest doses. A panel of international scientists, which met at Duke University to review saccharin research, reported that "saccharin administered to the rat at high doses produces profound biochemical and physiological changes which do not occur in humans under normal patterns of use." The panel concluded that "the appearance of tumors in rats seems to be a species- and organ-specific phenomenon for which there is at present no explanation."

An extensive dose-response rat study, sponsored by the Calorie Control Council and conducted at the International Research and Development Corporation (IRDC), has further elucidated saccharin's safety at human levels of use by placing the rat data and its relevance to human health in proper perspective. The Duke panel noted: "The results of the IRDC study, by defining more sharply the dose-response relationship for bladder tumor risk in the rat, support the view that the present level of exposure of humans to saccharin, through its use as a food additive, presents an insignificant cancer risk."

Recent research further demonstrates saccharin is unlikely to cause cancer in humans. Saccharin's effects on the rat bladder relate to the salt form (sodium saccharin), diet, urine pH and sodium levels, protein concentrations and types of proteins, and the sex, age and strain of the rats fed sodium saccharin.

Other research indicates that the bladder tumors developed by male rats fed high doses of sodium saccharin are related to very high doses of the sodium salt and not saccharin per se. Sodium ascorbate (vitamin C) and sodium citrate, found in many foods and beverages, demonstrate similar effects.

Need for Saccharin Supported

The extensive research on saccharin has been reviewed by many in the scientific community and by health groups interested in low-calorie sweeteners. These reviews have led to significant statements in support of saccharin. These comments include:

"Because recent epidemiologic [human use] studies provide no evidence of increased risk of bladder cancer among users of artificial sweeteners, including saccharin, and because there is no ideal alternative sweetener, saccharin should continue to be available as a food additive." American Medical Association.
"Nonnutritive sweeteners [saccharin, aspartame and acesulfame potassium] approved by the FDA are safe to consume by all people with diabetes." American Diabetes Association.
"Several years ago, experiments on rats suggested that saccharin might cause cancer. Since then, however, sudies of primates and humans have shown no increased risk of cancer from either saccharin or aspartame." American Cancer Society, 1996 Dietary Guidelines.
"The totality of evidence gathered from the numerous animal and human studies of saccharin does not suggest that there is any risk to the human population from the normal use of saccharin. ACSH believes that saccharin should be regarded as a safe food additive." American Council on Science and Health.
"With currently available data, the Society still believes the benefits of saccharin use far outweigh its alleged risks." American Society of Bariatric Physicians.
"Artificially sweetened beverages and desserts have offered an acceptable alternative to the life of restrictions forced on a diabetic child . . . Parents of diabetics are concerned that in a world without an artificial sweetener for medicines, for cooking and baking the all important birthday cakes and holiday treats, for sodas and snacks, our children will now have an even more difficult medical, social and emotional adjustment." Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.
"For people who are interested in weight control, and others who must watch what they eat for health reasons, saccharin makes life easier." The Diet Workshop.

Public Policy

The saccharin controversy initiated a long overdue review of U.S. food safety laws. It resulted in a food policy report from the National Academy of Sciences that recommends thorough revision of the U.S. food regulatory system, which the report describes as "complicated, inflexible and inconsistent in application." Congressional consideration is being given to changes in food safety law.

In 1977, Congress passed a moratorium preventing an FDA-proposed saccharin ban. The moratorium has been extended seven times based on the scientific evidence, the counsel of qualified professionals, and the support of consumers. At a 1985 Senate hearing, then-FDA Commissioner Frank Young supported an extension of the moratorium, noting that FDA has less concern about saccharin than in 1977. The Commissioner added that "the actual risk, if any, of saccharin to humans still appears to be slight."

In 1991, the FDA formally withdrew its 1977 proposal to ban the use of saccharin. And, on December 21, 2000, President Clinton signed a bill that will remove the warning label that had been required on saccharin-sweetened products since 1977. Government, scientists and industry are now all in agreement on saccharin's safety.

The continued availability of saccharin will allow it to remain a valued ingredient in many low-calorie foods and beverages, as it has been for over a century.

Wherever you will go -The Calling

2005-10-20T20:04:00.000+05:30

So lately, I've been wonderin
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone, you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
And between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

And maybe, I'll find out
The way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave should fall
It would fall upon us all
Well I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Runaway with my heart
Runaway with my hope
Runaway with my love

I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart and your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go

Ramadan Mubarak!!

2005-10-03T17:32:00.000+05:30

Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah Ta'ala accept your fast and your
salawat.

Ramdan is a great blessing of Allah Ta'ala for the muslim Unmaah.
Let all of us try to get the best out of this blessed month of Ramadan.

Sleeping...

2005-09-30T13:10:00.000+05:30

A man can go two weeks without eating
But if he doesn't rest at all,
he can only survive for one week.

Sleeping provides us the time to rest our internal
organs, eyes and brains. Poor sleep quality can cause
internal damage to our internal organs and brains.

Therefore, sleeping is very important to us. If you
wish to have a long life and stay healthy, please
take note of the advice below.

5 DON'TS when you are sleeping:

1. DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity.
Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a
long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

2. DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA / UNDERWARE
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear
bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of
getting breast cancer. Well the same goes down
there for guys..... imagine having a prostectic part.
So go to bed without it

3. DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you
is not encouraged. Though some of us will use phones
as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as
possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items
including mobile phone and television sets emit

magnetic waves when used. These waves can cause
disruptions to our nervous system. Therefore if you
need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off
first

4. DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP.
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems
in the long run. Sleeping with make up will cause the
skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in
perspiring. You will also need a much longer time
to go into deep sleep.

5. DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE OR HUSBAND
You may never wake up again.

Some Health Guidelines for Ramadhan

2005-09-20T22:58:00.000+05:30

Some Health Guidelines for Ramadhan

How fortunate we are to be the Ummat of Rasulullah, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallum. One of the miracles handed down to us is the month of Ramadhan. Our Allah Subahanahu Watha'ala, who created us, has granted us a way in which we can cleanse ourselves, physically as well as spiritually. This extra ordinary month will only be of benefit to those of us who take advantage of it. Allah Subahanahu Watha'ala has promised us rewards during this month beyond our expectations, only limited by his generosity and mercy. And we know that Allah Subahanahu Watha'ala is most generous and most merciful.
Here is some useful advice on how to avoid common problems that occur during Ramadhan. If followed, it would enable one to fast comfortably and enjoy fully the spiritual benefits of Ramadhan. Ramadhan is a time of Ibadat. Hunger and thirst can cause us to lose the purpose of Ramadhan.

Detox yourself

If you are in the habit of drinking many cups of tea or coffee or caffeine –containing drinks during the day, please start reducing over a period of 1-2 weeks before Ramadhan. Tea and coffee contain caffeine, an addictive substance that causes severe headaches on withdrawal.
If you are a smoker, please start reducing 1-2 weeks before Ramadhan. Ramadhan is an ideal month to stop smoking completely.

The foods we eat

During Ramadhan, our diet should not differ very much from our normal diet and should be as simple as possible. The diet should be such that we maintain our normal weight, neither losing nor gaining. However, if one is over-weight, Ramadhan is an ideal time to normalize one's weight.
In view of the long hours of fasting, we should consume slow digesting foods including fibre foods rather than fast-digesting foods. Slow digesting foods last between 8-12 hours, while fast digesting foods last for only 2-4 hours.
Slow-digesting foods are foods that contain grains and seeds like barley, wheat, oats, millet, semolina, beans, lentils, etc; whole meal flour; whole meal pasta; unpolished rice; etc (called complex carbohydrates).
Fast-digesting foods are foods that contain sugar, white flour, white rice, white pasta, etc. (called refined carbohydrates).
Fibre-containing foods are bran-containing foods, like cereals; whole wheat or whole meal flour; grains and seeds, like beans and lentils; vegetables like green beans, peas, sem (papry), marrow, mealies, spinach, methie, leaves of beetroot (iron rich), etc.; fruit with skin, dried fruit especially dried apricots, figs, prunes, etc.; and nuts like almonds; etc.

The foods should be well-balanced, containing foods from each food group, i.e., fruits, vegetables, meat/chicken/fish, bread/cereals and dairy products. Foods from each food group should be eaten daily.
Fried foods are unhealthy and should be limited. They cause indigestion, heart burn, weight problems and blocking of arteries especially in the heart and brain.

AVOID
fried and fatty foods.
Spicy foods and sauces.
Foods containing too much sugar and refined carbohydrates.
Over-eating at Sehrie (Suhur) and Iftaar.
Caffiene-containing drinks like tea, coffee, colas, etc. Tea makes you pass more urine taking with it valuable mineral salts that your body would need during the long day of fasting.
Smoking.

EAT
Complex Carbohydrates at Sehri (Suhur) so that the food lasts longer making you less hungry. (Muesli, bran-containing cereals, whole meal or brown bread, beans, lentils,etc.)
Haleem, a soup made from barley and wheat is an excellent source of slow-burning food and protein.
Dates are an excellent source of sugar, fibre, carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium.
Almonds are rich in protein and fibre with less fat. Ground almonds and milk make a healthy drink.
Bananas are a good source of carbohydrates, potassium and magnesium.
Eat oven-grilled samoosas rather than fried samoosas.

DRINK
Drink as much water, sports drinks, containing potassium or fruit juices as possible between Iftaar and bedtime so that your body may adjust fluid levels for the next day.

Some Problems

Constipation
Constipation can cause piles (haemorrhoids), fissures (painful cracks in anal canal) and indigestion with a bloated feeling.

Causes:    Too much refined carbohydrates, too little water and not enough fibre in
        the diet.
Remedy:    Increase fibre intake and complex carbohydrates, increase water intake, use bran for baking, use brown flour when making bread (roti).

Indigestion and "Wind"
Causes:    Over-eating. Too much fried and fatty foods, spicy foods and foods that produce wind, e.g., eggs, cabbage, lentils, beans, carbonated drinks, etc.
Remedy:    Do not over-eat, drink adequate amounts of water and fruit juices. Avoid fried and fatty foods. Add tymol or celery seeds (ajmor) to lentils and beans to lessen wind production.

Lethargy ("Low blood pressure")
Weakness, tiredness, lack of energy, dizziness especially on getting up from a lying
or sitting position, pale appearance and feeling faint, are symptoms associated with low
blood pressure. This tends to occur at the end of the day when Ibadah is so important.
Causes:    Too little fluid intake, decreased salt intake, not eating enough at Sehri and Iftaar.
Remedy:    Increase fluid and salt intake. Eat enough to sustain you through the next day. Drink at least 1 litre of sports drinks between Iftaar and bedtime.
Caution:    Low blood pressure should be confirmed by taking a reading when symptoms are present. Persons with high blood pressure may need their medication adjusted for the month of Ramadhan. Diuretics should be avoided.

Headaches
Causes:    Caffiene and tobacco withdrawal, doing too much during the day, lack of sleep, hunger (usually occurs at the end of the day), stress, etc.
Remedy:    Cut down or stop caffeine containing drinks 1-2 weeks before Ramadhan. Herbal teas and caffeine-free coffee may be substituted.   Re-organise your schedule so as to have adequate time to do the necessary things and to have adequate rest and sleep
.
Low Blood Sugar
Weakness, dizziness, tiredness, poor concentration, feeling shaky (tremor), unable to
do physical activities, headache, palpitations are symptoms of low blood sugar.
Causes:    Consuming too much sugar-containing foods, i.e., refined carbohydrates especially at sehri (suhur).
Remedy:    Limit sugar-containing foods and drinks at sehri (suhur). Eat more complex carbohydrates.
This applies to non-diabetics. Diabetics will need to adjust their medications during Ramadhan. Please consult your doctor.

Muscle Cramps
Causes:    Inadequate intake of calcium or magnesium-containing foods.
Remedy:    Eat foods rich in above minerals, e.g., fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meat dried fruit and dates.

Caution:    Those on high blood pressure medication or those prone to kidney stones should consult their doctor.

Heartburn, Gastritis, Hiatus Hernia and "Peptic Ulcers"
Causes:    Increased acid levels in an empty stomach during Ramadhan can aggravate the above conditions. It presents as a burning pain in the stomach area and under the ribs radiating up the chest to the throat.
    Spicy foods, especially sauces, coffee and Cola drinks, fatty and fried foods.
Remedy:    Avoid all the above foods. Do not over-eat. Have small meals rather than one big meal, e.g., small Iftaar and a snack after Taraweeh salaah.
    Medications are available (PPIs) to control acid levels in the stomach. These should be taken daily for the whole month of Ramadhan
.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones may not present themselves for months to years after they are formed.
Causes:    Some people have a tendency to produce stones in the kidney. Other causes include not drinking enough liquids to flush out the kidneys.
Remedy:    Drink excessive amounts of liquid between Iftaar and bedtime. Those prone to kidney stones must also decrease their calcium intake, e.g., dairy products.

Joint Pains
Causes:    During Ramadhan, when extra salaah are performed, the pressure on the knee joints increases. In the elderly, and those with arthritis, this may result in pain, stiffness, swelling and discomfort.
Remedy:    Lose weight so that the knees do not have to carry extra loads. Exercise the lower limbs before Ramadhan (walking 30-45 minutes 3 times a week) so that they can be prepared for the additional strain. Being physically fit allows greater fulfillment of physical obligations thereby enabling one to be able to perform salaah with ease.

This is a nice movie.
It kept me in my chair till the end. It was simply amazing.
As if i was inside a comic book.
The movie is in black and white, though there is a bit red n yellow colour.
The film is rated R in most regions.If you don't like violence, nudity
and sexual content this one is not for you.
I like to watch this sort of movies from time to time.
This is sort of like the movie Natural Born Killers in respect to the blood sheding.
In fact the director of NBK Quentin Tarantino
was a guest director for this movie

A pic I created.. Magic of Photoshop..hehehe
