New Terrorism doctrine by Indian PM threatens Pakistan

May 31, 2011

According to Indian Prime Minister, Terrorism cannot be fought selectively but has to be fought on all fronts.
This statement was made by Manmohan Singh on Tuesday. In a news conference Indian Pm further added that terrorism is a serious challenge to the world. Manmohan Singh stated that he and the German chancellor conferred the state in the Middle East and North Africa, including the Libyan unrest and its impactions on global peace and security.

In recent times, it can be seen that despite world powers working hard and long on the issue of Terrorism, the menace is further increasing every next day. When US invaded Afghanistan in post 9-11 events, the world was still talking about a definition on Terrorism. Today, after more than a decade, we have not seen any reduction but rather huge increase.

Pakistan being the worst hit is still fighting to convince the world in general and US in particular that its efforts to get rid of terrorism are genuine. With this recent statement made by Indian PM that terrorism needs to be fought on all fronts and not on any selective areas, poses a serious threat to Pakistan.

After some serious attacks in Pakistan on Pakistani military installments and offices the credibility of army is questioned. Many are asking
and talking about how secure are Pakistan’s nuclear assets. What if they fall in the hands of terrorists? How secure is the world with Pakistan holding the nuclear power status.

It will not be a surprise for me if today or in upcoming days we hear a ban on Pakistan until Pakistan gives access to US, UN or any other agency to take control of Pakistan nuclear assets.

The recent doctrine or statement presented by Indian PM can be the connecting link in the regard.

Facebook users will vote Tehrik-e-Insaf in next elections!

May 31, 2011

Facebook users will vote Tehrik-e-Insaf in next elections! According to a recent poll conducted on facebook, Tehrik-e-Insaf is the party that has received maximum votes. Though, it is an established fact that people from rural areas do not have access to technology and therefore have not been part of this vote, yet it shows that those that are aware of politics and have some kind of education, have favored TI over other political parties. This poll was conducted on International Relations Department University of Peshawar Page.

The poll asked, “Which political party will you vote in the next election?”

Options are: Tehrik-e-Insaf, All Pakistan Muslim league, PPP, PML –N, PML, MQM, ANP.

Maximum votes were given to TI, while All Pakistan Muslim League was on second number.

This poll has revealed a number of things such as; People of Pakistan do not want to see the old faces anymore and are looking for a change. The poll results state that people are tired of the promises made by other parties.

Asad Iqbal commented “Imran Khan` s party is best – But Imran should come up with complete record of his party other leaders. So that people may know actual record and detail”.

Musharraf party also received some votes despite his dual status and cases in Pakistan. This illustrates that people in Pakistan are opting for complete new options and will favor either a sports man or an army man.

Though, this poll is not what the entire Pakistan would speak of but it shows that educated class like Department of International relations – which is a department that has Masters, MPhil and PhD students, understand what can rescue Pakistan. If not the entire Pakistan, atleast educated class has understood that promises cannot save Pakistan. We have to go for options that have been denied or told to be unfruitful this time.

I urge the educated class of the Pakistan to makes sure that they vote this time. This time they have the options they wanted since long. If they want so much from the government, they must take one small step of voting to play their part in saving Pakistan. Pakistan cannot be saved with revolutions. It is just a distraction and propaganda to further destabilize Pakistan. Our power is our vote. Our revolution will come only using it.

Environmental bearing by tornado

May 31, 2011

News Worldwide
Not in reality. Tornado showcases the raw power of nature, but in the grand scheme of the environmental threats – global warming, for example, or agricultural run-off and algal blooms – they barely register.

Mull over the size. The average tornado is only 200 feet to 500 feet in diameter, and is ongoing in about 1,500 feet. The biggest storms can trace a journey of a mile wide and more than 30 miles on the ground. (Rarely visible damage over a mile outside the direct path of a tornado.) Comparison of the hurricanes, which average 300 miles in diameter, with a total area of 70,000 square kilometers directly affected a time. the largest forest fires in the United States burned more than 4,000 square kilometers of land. The tsunami flooded 2011 181 square miles in Japan. The earthquakes have damaged buildings around 50,000 square kilometers.
Tornadoes also poor relationship. A tornado usually begins around 10,000 kilowatt hours of energy – the equivalent of nine tons of TNT. A hurricane is approximately 10 billion kilowatt-hours. A magnitude 9 earthquake releases over 550 million kilowatt-hours of energy – the equivalent of 475 million tons of TNT or 25,000 nuclear bombs.

Although tornadoes relatively little to the total energy, energy is concentrated in a small area. Therefore, if a tornado struck a particularly sensitive region, which could cause serious damage to the environment. Fortunately, Tornado Alley in the U.S., where a quarter of the nation’s largest strike tornadoes, not exactly a coral reef. Includes parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. Of course, there are 16 endangered species living in those states – rabbit as robust adorable name – but the area is considered a priority by environmentalists.
Without a doubt, Conservation International has identified only one of the “biodiversity hotspots” across the United States, the California floristic province along the west coast. Only two moderately strong tornadoes have occurred in California since 1950, when a zero deaths. (Distribution Tornado is not set in stone: 2008 study found that global climate change might increase the frequency of tornado-friendly conditions in some parts of the world, including the United States in south-east).

Hurricanes represent a far greater threat to biodiversity than twisters. Much of the Caribbean has been declared an environmentally sensitive area, 50 percent of its plants and 46 percent of its mammals are found nowhere else on Earth. Hurricanes can threaten entire ecosystems by temporarily raising the water level, erosion of the coastal strip fragile and delicate contaminating saltwater marshes
Tornado ‘biggest threats to the environment because of their impact on human activities. Twister can damage storage facilities or processing of waste, polluting the surrounding areas. Or it can break the chemical factory, releasing poisonous stuff into groundwater.

What made Jim Tressel to leave his post?

May 31, 2011

News Worldwide
Jim Tressel departure as coach of Ohio State football at Memorial Day was sad for all the children concerned, but more sad for all adults.

The school is now looking for a coach and trainer for a new course entitled hernia crisis.
Could be taught next year by Gene Smith, who remains the athletic director, and Gordon Gee, if it remains president.
Tressel, Gee, Smith – Buckeyeteers Three – they’re all in this together.
You expect young people to ruin. That’s what they carry out They make mistakes, and often compound.
Adults are supposed to know right from wrong – especially teacher educators who use vests and bow to the presidents of fantasy.
On television, Ward and June Cleaver offers life lessons in Beaver and Wally.

Like a million other scandals involving money and power, cover up at Ohio State was worse than the crime, and it covers the coach, who covered was even worse.
If only to make this ugly Script Ohio, Tressel did not dot the “i” in the lie.
Tressel can survive if he had just told the truth when he knew it. It was a suggestion in April 2010 that some of his players, including star quarterback Pryor Terre, probably violated NCAA rules with the adoption of an additional benefit corridor tattoo belonging to Columbus.
Tressel could not communicate the following players are suspended for the first five games last season, the NCAA probably would have accepted.
It would have cost Ohio State a big bowl bid last season, but what cost today?
The first thing they tell you to do when you’re in a hole is stop digging.
Tressel up, grabbed the biggest shovel.
Hubris is a part of the plague of being one of the most powerful of the city, was Tressel in Columbus. control freaks think they can control things. power control freaks think they can control everything.
Tressel’s 106 wins 10 years in the 2002 championship and 9-1 record against Michigan made him an almost flawless.
He must have made him believe that he did not disclose NCAA violations even when he signed a certificate of compliance form in September certifies that he knew of no violations in his program.
It was just there for reasons of his dismissal.

Tressel to keep your lips zipped in December, when the abuse became public. He stood before his players took a five-game items in 2011.
His lie was the worst case – admitted that when it was discovered by prospecting e-mails.
Tressel not only knowledge of the violations, after being overthrown by Chris Columbus lawyer Cicero, transmitted information to one of the mentors of the player.
One might think that adults can not spoil more than that, but they did.
He was in “Fiasco II” conference March 8 news.

Muammar Gaddafi and Zuma meeting led to no agreement

May 31, 2011

News Worldwide
The discussion between President Jacob Zuma of South Africa and Colonel Muammar al Gaddafi has closed on Monday, no sign of a turning point in the Libyan authorities had said that he hoped.

The results seemed to exclude the government of Tripoli and its rebel foes mired in stalemate, which has settled on conflict and the possibility of NATO air strikes will continue to campaign in his attempt to overthrow the leader of Libya.
Zuma, at the end of a six-hour mission in Tripoli, Colonel Qaddafi conditions listed for Peace, which includes a ceasefire, followed by talks with the rebels. There was no sign that the Libyan leader had made concessions on the issue at the center of the impasse in the conflict, his rejection of requests to leave and flee to Libya.
The demand by Colonel Gaddafi to stop smoking was established by the rebel leaders in eastern Libya and with the support of NATO leads the campaign to 10 weeks of age of air strikes against Gaddafi’s government and was joined Russia last week, long considered an ally of Gadhafi. But the leader of Libya, despite a series of heavy bombing in Tripoli command complex last month, has remained steadfast in its promise to cling to power.

The failure of negotiations on Monday, the first major diplomatic mission in Tripoli, as a Zuma-led previous visit in early April, was highlighted by the Gaddafi government’s silence in the hours after Mr. Zuma gone.
The South African president, however, spoke to journalists from the state radio and television networks in South Africa and Libya, before boarding a plane for South African military flight back.
He said that Colonel Gaddafi had insisted that all Libyans will have the opportunity to talk among themselves for the future of the country, a sentence, the government has repeatedly used to deny the possibility of Colonel Gaddafi into exile.
Zuma said Colonel Qaddafi was willing to accept the roadmap as called for peace in Africa, a leading edge in Zuma’s first trip here. The plan calls for a ceasefire, including the cessation of NATO bombing, the international supervision of the truce and negotiations between Tripoli and the rebels in a political settlement.
Colonel Qaddafi has accepted the plan in April, but he ignored and quickly resumes its offensive against the rebels. Rebel leaders criticized, as they did on Monday.

There are only some of the things that Gaddafi would like to stay in power, the rebel foreign minister, Fathi Baja, said the rebel stronghold and Benghazi.
Zuma visit was widely publicized in advance by officials in Tripoli, who came to see the African Union as the last bastion of diplomatic support.

Potato Salad made easy: Things to try this Memorial Day while making Potato salad

May 31, 2011

Potato Salad can be made in various combinations and I am sure many of you have had been trying it all the time. On an occasion like Memorial Day when your family, kids and almost everyone is there you must be trying out something special in Potato salad. So how about trying out potato salad in some eastern and Chinese flavor.

Before beginning or collecting the ingredients, I want to share some quick tips that will help you get the best taste and the perfect presentation.

You must know that every potato is not the right Potato to make an easy potato salad.

There are many kinds and sizes of Potatoes that effect the taste ad presentation. For instance; if you have bought very big Potatoes and they are salty, you still may not get the look of a good potato Salad. The reason is that very big Potatoes take a different time to turn soft yet hard enough to give you the look and taste, in comparison of average size Potatoes.

Second, medium size potatoes should be checked for their colour. If they are very white and not reddish, there are chances that they will turn soft fast. Third, small potatoes may turn softer even more in a short span of time.

So, while making anything from potatoes, you must keep in mind that all potatoes are bought from one place and are of same kind as it may ruin the entire thing in the last moment.

Eastern type “Potato Salad”: You can experiment with the cuts. From slices to small cubes, from squares to half size potatoes, try all.
Use of mayonnaise and salt can give you a new taste without any ingredients.

Potato salad is usually thought to be a vegetable salad but you can make different kinds of very delicious Potato fruit salad, potato dry fruit salad, chicken potato salad, egg salad and potato mix salads. All these salads have the ingredient of potato in them yet can be presented in differently. So it is completely on you, how you want it.
