WORLD’S LEADING INFECTIOUS KILLER: AIDS
December 13, 2011
AIDS symbolizes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
A person is identified as having AIDS whenever his disease fighting capability is very poor so that he can fight off infections referred to as “opportunistic infections”, along with other health problems which benefit from a damaged immune system.
AIDS is really a condition belonging to the human disease fighting capability, a result of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This specific susceptibility becomes even more serious as the disease proceeds.
Whenever a person is inflammed with HIV, the virus penetrates the body and then resides as well as multiplies predominantly in the white blood cells. These are typically defense cells which generally defend us all from health problems. When the virus grows up, it destroys or even eliminates all these and also other cells, worsening the disease fighting capability hence making the individual susceptible to numerous opportunistic infections along with other ailments which range from pneumonia to cancer malignancy.
HIV is usually transmitted in lots of ways, for instance anal, vaginal or evenoral sex, blood transfusion, infected hypodermic needles, transaction in between mother and baby at the time of pregnant state, childbirth, as well as nursing your baby.
The virus and disease are frequently described collectively as HIV/AIDS. The ailment is a significant health condition in a great many regions of the entire world, and is also regarded as a pandemic, an ailment outbreak which is not just existing, spanning a massive region yet is definitely dispersing. Considering that AIDS was initially diagnosed during the earlier 1980s, an unprecedented number of individuals have been suffering from the global AIDS epidemic .
Right now, you will find approximately 34 million individuals existing with HIV along with AIDS world-wide.
Despite the fact that therapies regarding HIV/AIDS can certainly slow the actual span of the ailment, there is absolutely no recognized treatment or even HIV vaccine. Antiretroviral treatment method minimizes both the deaths as well as new infections from HIV/AIDS, however all these prescription drugs are costly and also the medicine are usually not accessible in almost all countries. Because of the complexity with curing HIV infection, protecting against contamination is really a key objective in preventing the AIDS pandemic, along with health organizations encouraging secure sex as well as needle-exchange courses in efforts to slower the propagation of the virus.
Regardless of continuing serious study, specialists believe that it will probably be no less than 10 years just before we’ve got a secure, successful, as well as cost-effective AIDS vaccine. And perhaps after a vaccine is introduced, it will require a long time before the thousands of people vulnerable to HIV infection throughout the world can be immunized. Till then, various other HIV prevention techniques, including practicing more secure intercourse as well as choosing clean and sterile syringes, will remain fundamental.

Boondock Saints and All Saints’ Day
October 8, 2011
News Worldwide — All Saints Day is more of a religious custom than just a national day. All Catholic and Orthodox Catholics believe that saints of God are as alive as we are and that they are mediating on our behalf constantly. There were saints whom we knew and there were many more of them we didn’t get to know of. All Saints Day instituted by Church is solemnity celebrated on November 1st to commemorate all saints, known and unknown. According to Pope Urban IV it is to make sure that all deficiencies are supplied with in a celebration of the saint’s feast during each year by those who have been initiated in Catholic Christian rites, the faithful. The eve of All Saints Day, October 31st, is popularly known as All Hallows Eve.
Where did the Concept of All Saints Day come from?
The concept of All Saints Day comes from a Catholic belief conceptualized in what is known as “Communion of Saints”. The Catholic belief is that all of God’s people whether in heaven, earth, or in a purgatory (as known in the west) are implicated in a communion which simply means that they are alive. St. Cyril of Jerusalem (350 AD) testifies that our common communion with Jesus Christ joins us with the heavenly community of saints in our prayers.
I think I’ve heard of a movie with that name!
The entertainment business has also seemed to take the religious event into consideration. A movie with the name of The Boondock Saints came in 1999 written and directed by Troy Duffy (under genre of Action-Crime-Drama-Thriller). The cast includes Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman, Willem Dafoe, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, Bob Marley, David Ferry, Brian Mahoney, Carlo Rota, Ron Jeremy, and Gerard Parkes.
The plot: It so happens that two Irish brothers, after attending a mass in a church, somehow manage to have a brawl with some mafia thugs in a bar and kill them accidently in self-defense. To clear their name they then turn themselves over to the police and get released as heroes. After the incident they see it as a calling by God and start wiping mafia gang members off one by one. They get full public support for their deeds. But law enforcement agencies wouldn’t let such thing to continue. So an FBI Agent is assigned the duty of investigating the ongoing slaughter. The findings in the agent’s investigation force him to think to whether to arrest the brothers or join them to rid Boston of evil. Watch the movie to find the rest of the story.
An unrated version of the movie was released in May 22, 2006. In 2003 documentary film followed the story of Troy Duffy in “Overnight”. In May 2010 a comic book story was released which was written by Troy Duffy, produced by Innfusion Inc. and released through 12 Gauge Comics.
An Objection to the celebration of all Saints Day!
Many non-Catholics say that commemoration of saints at such a wider scale tends to give an impression that All Saints Day is an Idolatry event. According to Catholics worship is only for God and veneration is for his holy men and women who spent their entire life following teachings of Jesus Christ and died in grace. They believe that the highest form of veneration is due to blessings of Virgin Mary. Copyright © 2011

Judaism — The blazing furnace
October 6, 2011
Judaism – King Nebuchadnezzar had a huge gold statue made, and erected on a plain in Babylon. He ordered everyone in his empire to bow down and worship the statue; and that anyone who did not do so, should be thrown into a blazing furnace.
Daniel’s three friends refused to worship the statue; and their enemies, who hated all Jews, reported this to the king.
The king summoned them, and asked if the report were true. They answered: You majesty, we shall not try to defend our
selves. The God whom we serve, has the power to save us from the blazing furnace; and he may choose to use his power. But even if he refrains from saving us, your majesty may be certain that we shall not worship your god; we shall
not bow down before your statue.’
Nebuchadnezzar turned red with anger. He ordered his servants to make the furnace seven times hotter than usual. Then he commanded the strongest men in his army to tie the three men up, and throw them into it. Nebuchadnezzar stared
at the furnace in astonishment. He asked his officials: ‘Did we not tie three men up, and throw them in?’ ‘Yes, we did, your majesty,’ they replied. He said: ‘Why do I see four men walking about in the fire? They are not tied up, and they show no injuries – and the fourth one looks like an angel.’
So he released them, and appointed them to even higher positions. Nebuchadnezzar’s second dream
Judaism — Nebuchadnezzar related a second dream
‘I saw a huge tree in the middle of the earth. It grew taller and taller, until it touched the sky, and everyone on earth could see it. Its leaves were beautiful, and its fruit was abundant – enough for every living creature in the world. Animals rested in its shade, and birds built nests in its branches; they all ate its fruit.
`While I was contemplating this tree, I saw a holy angel come down from heaven. The angel proclaimed in a loud voice: “Cut down the tree, and chop off its branches; strip off its leaves, and scatter its fruit. Drive away the animals and the
birds. But leave the stump on the ground, and bind it with iron and bronze; let the grass grow round it.”
`Then the angel turned to me, and said: “Let the dew drench this man, and let him live with the animals and birds. For seven years he will not have a human mind, but he will have the mind of an animal. This is the decision of all the angels, the verdict of all God’s messengers. Thus all people on earth will know that the supreme God has power over human kingdoms, and that he can give them to anyone he wishes; he may even choose as king the lowliest of men.”

Judaism — Nebuchadnezzar’s first dream
October 3, 2011
Judaism – Nebuchadnezzar had an unpleasant dream; it worried him so greatly that he could not sleep. He summoned his magicians, wizards, sorcerers and astrologers, and asked them to interpret his dream. They replied: `May your majesty live for ever! Relate to us your dream, and we shall explain it.’ The king said: ‘I insist that you first relate to me my dream, and then tell me what it means. If you fail, I shall have you torn limb from limb.’ They replied: `Your majesty, if you relate your dream to us, we shall explain it.’ The king exclaimed: `You are merely trying to gain time. Tell me what the dream was, and then I shall know that you can tell me what it means.’ They said: ‘No one on the face of the earth could do what you are asking.’ At that the king flew into a rage, and ordered the execution of all the royal advisers in Babylon including Daniel and his companions.
Daniel heard of the king’s order, and told his friends to pray to the God of heaven for help. The friends asked God to reveal the king’s dream to Daniel, so they would not be killed along with the other advisors. That same night their prayer
was answered. Daniel praised God in heaven: `You are wise and powerful. You reveal that which is deep and hidden; you know what lies in darkness, and you yourself are surrounded by light. You have given me wisdom and strength, revealing to me what we asked.’ In the morning Daniel asked the guard to take him to the king.
Judaism –A wicked law
During the time of the Roman Empire the Senate planned to pass a law that would have prohibited both the observance of the Sabbath and the rite of circumcision.
Rabbi Reuben disguised himself as a Roman, and came before the Senate. He spoke perfect Latin, with a Roman accent. ‘Do you hate the Jews?’ he asked. A leading senator replied: `Yes, because they refuse to worship the Roman emperor as a god.’ ‘Do you wish, therefore, to destroy the Jewish religion?’ The senator replied that they did.
Rabbi Reuben said:`If you prohibit the observance of the Sabbath, the Jews will work seven days a week, instead of six. Thus they will become even more rich and powerful.’ So the Senate set aside the first prohibition. Then the rabbi said: ‘If you prohibit circumcision, they will produce even more children – since circumcision reduces fertility.’ So the Senate set aside the second prohibition.

Judaism — The valley of dry bones
October 2, 2011
Judaism – The hand of the Lord was upon me, and his Spirit took me to a valley, where the ground was covered with bones. He led me all round the valley, and I saw a vast number of bones, all of which were very dry.
He said to me: `Mortal man, can these bones come back to life?’ I replied: ‘Sovereign Lord, you alone can answer that.’ He said: ‘Prophesy to these bones; command them to listen to the word of the Lord. Tell them that I, the sovereign Lord, shall put breath into them, and bring them back to life. I will attach sinews and muscles to them, and cover them with skin. I shall put breath into them, and bring them back to life. Then they will know that I am the Lord.’
So I prophesied as the Lord had ordered me. While I was speaking, I heard a rattling sound, and the bones began to join together. As I watched, I saw sinews and muscles attaching themselves to the bones, and then skin covering them. But there was no breath in the bodies.
Then God said to me: ‘Mortal man, prophesy to the wind. Tell the wind that the sovereign Lord commands it to come from every direction, and enter these bodies, so they may come back to life.’ So I prophesied as the Lord had ordered me. Breath entered the bodies; and they came back to life, and stood up. They were like a huge army.
Judaism – Promise of new life
God said to me: `Mortal man, the people of Israel are like the bones in the valley. They say that their bones are dried up -
that all hope is gone, and that their hearts are in despair. So prophesy to the people of Israel. Tell them that I, the sovereign Lord, am going to open their graves, and raise them up; I shall bring them back to their land. When I open their graves, raise them up, and bring them back to their land, they will know that I am the Lord. I shall put breath in them, bring them back to life, and let them live in their own land.
Then they will know that I am the Lord. I have promised that I should do this – and I shall. I, the Lord, have spoken.’
Judaism – Daniel’s training
When King Nebuchadnezzar captured Jerusalem, he took some of his prisoners back to his temple in Babylon. He ordered Ashpenaz, his chief official, to select from among them some young men of royal and noble blood. They had to be andsome, intelligent, well-educated, quick to learn, and free from any physical defect; thus they would be fit to serve in the royal court. Ashpenaz was to teach them the language and literature of Babylon, and to give them food and wine from the king’s table. After three years of training they were to enter the king’s service. Among those chosen were Daniel, from the tribe of Judah, and three friends from the same tribe.
Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and sought the chief official’s permission. The chief official refused permission. So Daniel said to the man guarding them: `Test us for seven days, giving us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with the young men who are eating food from the royal table.’ The guard agreed; and at the end of ten days Daniel and his companions looked healthier and stronger than
those who had been eating the royal food. So the guard allowed them to continue eating vegetables.
God gave the four young men knowledge and skill in literature and philosophy. In addition he gave Daniel skill in interpreting visions and dreams. At the end of three years they entered the king’s service.

Judaism — Ezekiel’s calling
September 29, 2011
Judaism – I heard the voice of God saying: `Mortal man, stand up. I wish to speak to you.’ As the voice spoke, the Spirit of the Lord entered me, and raised me to my feet; and I could hear clearly.
`Mortal man,’ the voice of God continued,`I am sending you to the people of Israel. They have rebelled against me, turning their backs on me; and they are still rebelling, just as their ancestors did. They are stubborn and hardhearted. So you will tell them what I, the sovereign Lord, am saying to them. Whether they listen or refuse to listen, they will know that a prophet has been among them. `You, mortal man, must not be afraid of them, or of anything they say.
They will defy and despise you. You will feel as though you are walking through briars and thorns; you will feel as though you are living among scorpions. But do not be afraid of these rebels, or of anything they say. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen. Remember that they are rebels. Mortal man, listen to everything I say; do not be a rebel yourself.’
Judaism – Bad shepherds and the good shepherd
The Lord spoke through me to the rulers of Israel, the shepherds of his people: You take care of yourselves, but you never tend the sheep. You drink their milk, you wear clothes made from their wool, and you kill those who antagonize you.
You show no love or compassion for them. You do not protect those who are weak; you do not heal those who are sick; you do not bandage those who are hurt; you do not search for those who have wandered from my way; and you do not guide those who are lost. Instead, you treat them cruelly. And for this reason they have been scattered from their land, and predators have attacked them. They have dispersed across the face of the earth, and no one is seeking them.
‘So I myself, the sovereign Lord, will find my sheep, and tend them. As a shepherd gathers his sheep together, so I shall
gather together my people from the places where they have gone. I shall guide those who are lost, bring back those who
have wandered from my way, bandage those who are hurt, and heal those who are sick. But those who are fat and sleek,
I shall destroy. I am a shepherd who always acts justly.’

What can prevent which disease or disorder in day to day life!!!
September 27, 2011
News Worldwide – You would have come across many articles online that state, “recently a research has shown that …. may prevent ……..:. Every time these blanks are filled with different things and diseases names. Just a while back, I read news on BBC that said that “coffee may reduce depression”. So, I decided to make a list of all those ingredients that have been published as helping in preventing some disease. Here they are:
Chocolate: Chocolate is one of the most researched elements and each time we hear and read a news thing about chocolate which goes like this:
• Chocolate may help in preventing stroke. This research was based on the fact that those people who have been eating chocolate were 22 per cent less expected to have a stroke than those that did not.
• Dark Chocolate helps in maintain a healthy skin: This post was a bit shocking for many as it talks about something no one ever believed. According to prior believe many assumed that dark chocolate was reason for acne but this latest research said that it would keep your skin healthy and youthful. This research based its supporting argument on chocolate ingredients which are Cocoa Beans. These beans are the best source of antioxidants and cocoa butter is also extracted from the cocoa bean which is very healthy and advantageous for the skin. It works as a good and natural skin moisturizer.
• Eating chocolate during pregnancy may help prevent pre-eclampsia in infants: This research has based its argument on the fact that women that ate chocolate at least five times a week were 40 percent less probable to advance the condition than those that ate it less than once a week.
• Chocolate May help prevent headaches: The writer of this post based its argument on the fact that sometimes chocolate eating turns into an addiction and if you have this addiction, you will find that chocolate does help in preventing headaches.
• Chocolate may help prevent cancer: Another interesting article said that chocolate may even hep in preventing cancer. And this was not it; the writer even added that chocolate may even help in preventing depression and heart diseases. The argument used in this post was based on the chocolate ingredient that has antioxidants.
• Chocolate may help in preventing dental decay: This was a very interesting article which again goes against our common believes. The fact on which this research study was based was “polyphenols in chocolate turns off an enzyme responsible for converting sugar into polysaccharoses in the mouth. Polysaccharose is the binding agent that causes dental plaque to attach to the teeth.” So next time your kids will have all the reason to eat another chocolate.
Constipation: The second thing that I found on internet talking about preventing a disease though research study was
constipation. Following were things that may prevent constipation said research studies.
Water, exercise, proper meals, certain fruits like apple, folic acid, Aloe Vera juice, ginger tea, Yerba mate in tea and regular washroom routine.
Ginger: according to several research studies, ginger may help in preventing sea sickness or treating headaches, stomach disorders and coughs. Ginger is also said to help in preventing certain forms of cancer.
Preventing Aging: There are a number of reports and research papers available online that share how aging can be prevented or what may help in preventing aging? Some of them are ad follow:
• Antioxidants defend the body from the damaging implications of by-products thus help in preventing or slowing down the process of aging.
• Calorie Restriction, Intermittent Fasting, and Resveratrol are next that help in reducing ageing pace.
• Another article says Avocado is very high in vitamin E that is important for glowing skin and shining hair. It also keeps wrinkles off the face. While the same article has a list of other things that may also help in preventing aging such as berries that very rich in vitamin C and thus useful to the body. Green vegetables, ginger, nuts, yogurt, whole wheat pasta and brown, melons and last but not the least lots of water will help in preventing ageing.
So this is for now. I hope you would enjoyed the latest research studies that talk so much about thing we eat and use in our daily lives and that can help us prevent many complications and diseases. Copyright © 2011

Judaism — The four creatures
September 26, 2011
Judaism – I, Ezekiel, a priest, was living with the Jewish exiles in Babylon. The sky opened, and I saw a vision of God. I heard the Lord speak to me, and his hand was upon me.
I looked up, and saw a storm coming from the north. Lightning was flashing from a huge cloud, and the sky around the cloud was glowing. At the centre of the storm I saw four living creatures in human form. Each creature had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight; and they had feet in the shape of calves’ hooves, which shone like polished bronze. They each had four human arms, one under each wing. Two wings of each creature were spread out; and the creatures formed a square, with their wings touching.
They moved as a group, without turning their bodies. They each had a human face at the front, a lion’s face at the right, a bull’s face at the left, and an eagle’s face at the back. In the midst of the creatures was a light, which looked like a burning coal or a blazing torch. It sometimes became exceedingly bright, and then faded. It moved back and forth among the creatures.
As I was looking at the four creatures, I saw a wheel on the ground beside each creature. The wheels shone like precious stones; and each wheel had another wheel intersecting it, so the wheels could move in all directions. The creatures controlled the wheels; so the creatures could go wherever they wished.
Judaism –The likeness of the Lord
Above the heads of the living creatures there was a dome, which sparkled like ice. The creatures stood under the dome, reach with two wings stretched out, and two wings covering its body. When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings; it was like the roar of the sea, or like the noise of an army marching – or like the voice of almighty God.
When they stopped flying, they folded their wings. Then I heard a voice from the dome above their heads. And I saw a throne made of sapphire. Sitting on the throne was a figure like that of a man. From the waist up he shone like molten metal, as if a fire was burning within him; and from his waist downwards there were flames. A brilliant light surrounded him, which had all the colours of the rainbow. I knew that I was seeing the likeness and the glory of the Lord. I fell face downwards.

Judaism — Promise of restoration
September 25, 2011
Judaism – The Lord says:`People of Israel, I shall make you well again; I shall heal your wounds. I shall restore you to your land, and cherish every family. Jerusalem and its palace will be rebuilt.
You will sing my praises, and shout for joy. I shall add to your numbers, and they will never be decreased; I shall bring you honour, and you will never be disgraced. You and your descendants will live as your ancestors did in days of old; your community will be as secure and solid as it was in ancient times. Your ruler will come from among you; he will be a prince of your own blood. I shall draw him close to me, and he will devote himself to doing my will. You will be my people, and I shall be your God.
`People of Israel, I have always loved you, and I continue to love you. Once again I shall show my love. Once again you
will take up your tambourines, and dance with joy. Once again you will plant vineyards on the hills, and drink the fruit
of your labour.’
Judaism — The new covenant
The Lord says: The time is coming when I shall fill the land of Israel with people and their livestock. I took care to uproot, pull down, overthrow, destroy and demolish; now I shall take equal care to plant and build up.
`The time is coming when I shall make a new covenant with my people. It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors, when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they broke that covenant. This is the covenant that I shall make with my people: I shall put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts. I shall be their God, and they will be my people. They will not have to teach one another to know me, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I shall forgive their sins, and forget their wickedness.
I, the Lord, have spoken.’
