By Khalid Azam

1. There are nearly 52 Muslim countries. Show one Muslim country, which provides Haj subsidy.

Saudi Arabia itself subsidizes millions of dollars for Hajj every year to all Muslims of the world. Moreover, India's Hajj subsidy is not given to either the Hajis or to Saudi Arabia, but to India's government owned airline Air India. By citing "Hajj Subsidy", Air India then extracts a number of concessions from the Saudi Airport authorities that are not available to other commercial airlines. Furthermore, while the Haj subsidy is about Rs. 110-148 crores [Rs 1.1 to 1.48 Billion] , the government spends Rs. 450 crores [Rs 4.5 Billion] on the Hindu festival of Kumbh Mela. The Haj subsidy will dwarf if all the government subsidies to various Hindu rituals and festivals were taken into account. It is also a shame that the BJP (a non-secular, Hindutva party), while in power, failed to remove the Haj subsidy despite the lack of opposition to it from the Muslim community. Will the VHPsupport the removal of the Kumbh Mela subsidy?

2. Show one Muslim country where Hindus are extended the special rights that Muslims are accorded in India?

Malaysia. Hindus in Malaysia have far more "special" rights than Muslims in India.

3. Show one Muslim country, which has a Non-Muslim as its President or Prime Minister.

Senegal: It had a Christian President for 30 years while 95% of its population is Muslim. Nigeria: It has a Christian President while the majority of population is Muslim. Sierra Leone: It had a Christian Prime Minister while the majority of population is Muslim. Lebanon: With over 70% Muslim population, has elected several Christian presidents.

4. Show one country where the 85% majority craves for the indulgence of the 15% minority.

If the majority craves for the indulgence of the minority, then it is the prerogative of the majority. VHP, in claiming to represent the majority, should ask the question to itself rather than to a 'secularist'.

Moreover, predominantly Muslim Turkey's "indulgence" of its 1% Jewish population and predominantly Christian America's indulgence of its 1% Hindu population are far more praiseworthy than predominantly Hindu India's indulgence of its 15% Minorities which are subjected to regular riots and genocides every now and then.

5. Show one Mullah or Maulvi who has declared a 'fatwa' against terrorists.

Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar University in Egypt - Al Azhar is considered to be the highest institution of Sunni Muslim learning. Also among the thousands of Islamic scholars who condemned terrorism, some of the prominent ones are Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, Tahir Jabir Alalwani, Jamal Badawi, Muzammil Siddiqui, Zaid Shakir, Hamza Yusuf, etc. For a comprehensive list of statements against terrorism visithttp://www.muhajabah.com/otherscondemn.php

6. Hindu-majority Maharashtra, Bihar, Kerala, Pondicherry, etc. have in the past elected Muslims as CMs; Can you ever imagine a Hindu becoming the CM of Muslim - majority J&K?

Why not? Wasn't the King of Muslim majority Kashmir during Independence struggle a Hindu? Or is the VHP conceding that the rule of Kashmir's Hindu King was illegitimate and against the wishes of its people.

7. Today Hindus are 85%. If Hindus are intolerant, how come Masjids and Madrassas are thriving? How come Muslims are offering Namaz on the road? How come Muslims are proclaiming 5 times a day on loudspeakers that there is no God except Allah?

The same argument can be extended to the rule of Aurangzeb. By this reasoning, if Aurangzeb was intolerant, how come there are thousands of temples from his time still surviving in present day India? How come Hindus were allowed to freely go to any of their temples?

8. When Hindus gave to Muslims 30% of Bharat for a song, why should Hindus now beg for their sacred places at Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi?

This rhetorical question can also be rephrased as "When Muslims gave 90% of India to Hindus for a song (remember 90% of India was ruled by Muslims at one point), why should the Hindutva Brigade be demanding and destroying the handful of Muslims mosques left standing?

9. Why temple funds are spent for the welfare of Muslims and Christians, when they are free to spend their money in any way they like?

Some temple funds are collected by government and spent in the general welfare of all people, not just Muslims and Christians. The government does this because the government owns the endowments to which these temples belong. Likewise, the government also owns numerous endowments to which Muslim and Christian places of worship are attached. It just so happens that the places of worship ofMuslims and Christians are not moneymaking centers - so the government does not have any incentive in raiding them.

10. When uniform is made compulsory for school children, why there is no Uniform Civil Code for citizens?

Currently, Hindus themselves have different Hindu Personal Laws in every state of India. Why doesn't the Hindutva Brigade first come up with a unified Hindu Personal Law that is uniform for all Hindus in every state across the country? Why doesn't VHP work on the Uniform Hindu Personal Law first before dispensing advice to other communities? Is it afraid of something?

11. In what way, J&K is different from Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu or Uttar Pradesh, to have article 370?

Read the history of India.

12. Why Gandhiji supported Khilafat Movement (nothing to do with our freedom movement) and what in turn he got?

The Khilafat movement was integrally tied to the freedom struggle of the nations occupied by Britain. Abolition of Khilafat was a colonial act just as the occupation of India was a colonial act. Gandhiji supported the Khilafat movement as a strategic initiative to defeat and undermine the British.

In contrast, one can legitimately ask why the so-called "Veer" Savarkar supported Hitler's Nazi Germany and its genocide of the Jews? What relevance did Hitler's massacres of the Jews have on the Indian freedom struggle? What in turn did he get by supporting Hitler? Here's a quote from Savarkar: "Who are we to dictate to Germany, Japan or Russia or Italy to choose a particular form of policy of Government simply because we woo it out of academical attraction? Surely Hitler knows better than Pandit Nehru does what suits Germany best. The very fact that Germany or Italy has so wonderfully recovered and grown so powerful as never before at the touch of Nazi or Fascist magical wand is enough to prove that those political "isms" were the most congenial tonics their health demanded.

"India may choose or reject particular form of Government, in accordance with her political requirements. But Pandit went out of his way when he took sides in the name of all Indians against Germany or Italy. Pandit Nehru might claim to express the Congress Section in India at the most. But it should be made clear to the German, Italian, or Japanese public that crores of Hindu Sanghatanists in India whom neither Pandit Nehru or nor the Congress represents, cherish no ill-will towards Germany or Italy or Japan or any other Country in the World simply because they had chosen a form of Government or constitutional policy which they though (sic) suited best and contributed most to their National solidarity and strength"

SOURCE: Published on 30 November 1938 by a famous German daily, the "Volkischer Beobachter". Obtained from "NEHRU MEMORIAL MUSEUM AND LIBRARY, Savarkar papers, microfilm, r.n.1, part 2, March 1937-May

1938."

13. Why Gandhiji objected to the decision of the cabinet and insisted that Somnath Temple should be reconstructed out of public fund, not government funds. When in January 1948 he pressurized Nehru and Patel to carry on renovation of the mosques of Delhi at government expenses?

The Somnath Temple was raided by several Hindu kings for its wealth before it was plundered by Mahmud Ghazni for the same reason. All of this happened several hundred years ago. So, it does not make any sense as to why Somnath should be singled out and reconstructed with government funds! There were over 10,000 mosques that were destroyed in India by the British - should they all have been reconstructed from government funds? In contrast, the damage to the mosques at Delhi, referred in the question, happened from the masses which were led by Nehru and Gandhi, so they were (as national leaders) morally responsible for the repair of those buildings.

14. If Muslims & Christians are minorities in Maharashtra, UP, Bihar etc., are Hindus not minorities in J&K, Mizoram, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya etc? Why are Hindus denied minority rights in these states?

This is because Muslims and Christians are designated as minorities at a national level, not at the state level. In other words, neither are Muslims and Christians minorities in Maharashtra, UP, Bihar etc nor are Hindus minorities in J&K, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya etc.

15. Do you admit that Hindus do have problems that need to be recognized? Or do you think that those who call themselves Hindus are themselves the problem?

Both questions can be answered in the positive. Take for example the issue of Dalits and Caste System in Hinduism. Dalits, who have been labeled as Hindus, have grim problems that need to be recognized. But since it is the (upper caste) Hindus who themselves are the biggest obstacle to the Dalit caste problem, in a way the Hindus are themselves part of the problem.

16. Why post-Godhra is blown out of proportion, when no one talks of the ethnic cleansing of 4 lakh Hindus from Kashmir?

Because the Gujarat massacres were carried out by the state/government while the violence in Kashmir (in which more Muslims have been killed than Hindus) was carried out by non-government actors. Is there any difference between a government and a terrorist in the eyes of VHP? Or does the VHP consider that government should play the role of a terrorist killing and plundering minorities?

17. In 1947, when India was partitioned, the Hindu population in pakistan was about 24%. Today it is not even 1%. In 1947, the Hindu population in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was 30%. Today it is about 7%. What happened to the missing Hindus? Do Hindus have human rights?

See the answer to the question below:

18. In contrast, in India, Muslim population has gone up from 10.4% in 1951 to about 14% today; whereas Hindu population has come down from 87.2% in 1951 to 85% in 1991. Do you still think that Hindus are fundamentalists?

The question clearly hides another important statistic relevant to the declining population of Hindus - the statistics of the rising female feticide, a practice overwhelmingly associated with Hindu community. According to population survey reports, the sex ratio which was 972 females per 1000 males in 1901 was 933 females to 1000 males in 2001. New technology is now used to diagnose the gender of the child and female children are eliminated with precision. Rather than lamenting the decline of Hindus, the Sanghis should rather show some mercy toward their daughters and stop killing them - and recognize that women are the ones who are responsible for bringing in the next generation.

19. Do you consider that - Sanskrit is communal and Urdu is secular, Mandir is Communal and Masjid is Secular, Sadhu is Communal and Imam is Secular, BJP is communal and Muslim league is Secular, Dr. Praveen Bhai Togadia is ANTI-NATIONAL and Bhukari is Secular, Vande Matharam is communal and Allah-O-Akbar is secular, Shriman is communal and Mian is secular, Hinduism is Communal and Islam is Secular, Hindutva is communal and Jihadism is secular, and at last, Bharat is communal and Italy is Secular?

In order to understand what you are asking, you need to first answer the following question: Since when have the Hindutva warriors [proverbially] stopped beating their wives? Try to answer this question and you will understand the futility of the question above.

20. When Christian and Muslim schools can teach Bible and Quran, Why Hindus cannot teach Gita or Ramayan?

Who is stopping Hindus from teaching Gita and Ramayana? Ramayana is in fact taught in government sponsored state syllabus in many states in India while no government sponsored state syllabus actually mandates the teaching of Bible or the Quran? Will the VHP campaign for the incorporation of Bible and the Quran in state syllabus along the lines of Ramayana? It should also be noted that the serial Ramayana has been broadcasting on the government owned and subsidized TV channel for several years now while no serial on Bible or the Quran has enjoyed any such broadcasting coverage.

21. Abdul Rehman Antuley was made a trustee of the famous Siddhi Vinayak Temple in Prabhadevi, Mumbai Can a Hindu - say Mulayam or Laloo - ever become a trustee of a Masjid or Madrassa?

The Mecca Masjid as well as the famous Public Gardens Masjid of Hyderabad, for example, are both under the AP State Waqf board which is headed by a Hindu. Moreover, unlike the Hindutva Brigade, Muslims don't make a big deal of their famous monuments being run by Hindus. It should be noted that most of present day surviving monuments of Muslim legacy are under the care and supervision of trusts/institutions headed by Hindus.

22. Dr. Praveenbhai Togadia has been arrested many times on flimsy grounds. has the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid, Delhi, Ahmed Bhukari been arrested for claiming to be an ISI agent and advocating partition of Bharat?

Togadia was caught distributing weapons and inciting masses to use them to killMuslims and Christians. Is the BJP sponsored Shahi imam distributing swords and asking Muslims to use them to kill Hindus?

23. When Haj pilgrims are given subsidy, why Hindu pilgrims to Amarnath, Sabarimalai & Kailash Mansarovar are taxed?

As indicated above, the government spends more money subsidizing arrangements for various Hindu festivals than it does subsidizing Air India in the name of Hajj Subsidy. Will the VHP lobby to remove government expenditure on these Hindu pilgrimages?

24. A Muslim President, A Hindu Prime Minister and a Christian Defence Minister running the affairs of the nation with a unity of purpose. Can this happen anywhere, except in a HINDU NATION - BHARAT?

Sure. Saddam Hussein's regime also incorporated similar diversity with Tariq Aziz, a Christian as its Vice President. But you are not implying India is like Saddam Hussein's regime, are you?

Top 10 Expensive Cities to buy home

http://ping.fm/lwMaI

Why choose products with natural plant ingredients

http://ping.fm/N17hc…nt-ingredients/

Top 10 Expensive Cities to buy home

1. Monte Carlo

Who would have guessed that Monte Carlo ranks as the most expensive city in the world for the second year running… yes, right we did. With average prices of $47,578 per sq.m. it is no wonder.

Long known as the playground for party-friendly billionaires, starlets and everything in between, Monte Carlo does offer something for everyone. Let’s see, there is the casino, the stunning scenery, the Formula 1 Grand Prix and plenty of sunshine all year round.

If that is not reason enough to buy a home there what else would be. And we did mention that just around the corner is Monaco with one of the best yacht harbours in the world.

2. Moscow

Seeing Moscow rank so high is actually a surprise for us. Especially since it outranked London, known to be expensive. Moscow clocked in with $20,853 per sq.m.

Given the fact that it is in Russia, maybe all that new wealth Russian money did affect the market, skyrocketing property prices like crazy.

3. London

As already mentioned, London is only a fraction behind Moscow with $20,756 per sq.m. But given the choice we would buy in London any day before going to Russia (no offense intended). It’s just that we love London’s vibrancy and what the city can offer residents. There is never a dull moment and besides the weather – here we go again – we really love London to bits. It’s the city that never sleeps for sure.

4. Tokyo

Ranked as the 4th most expensive city in the world, Tokyo real estate costs $17,998 per sq.m. Now if you are the type who loves eternal supplies of sushi, sashimi and Kirin beer, then you should seriously consider moving to this city of glitz and neon advertisements.

Plus, you’ve got to love crowds too. And did we mentioned the Shinkansen?

5. Hong Kong

Victoria peak, harbour junks, quick access to mainland China and a sophisticated mix of ethnic races share Hong Kong, a former British colony as their home. We admit, this city kicks butt and offers a ton of exciting experiences to visitors from all around the world.

If you decide to fork out your hard earned money for your own home, then you can take advantage from hidden markets, nearby islands and lovely local beaches. If you are keen you can always visit Disney too. All of this would come at a price of $16,125 per sq.m.

6. New York

The Big Apple as New York is lovingly known is the only city in the US included in the list. Costs of $14,898 per sq.m. offer you a home in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. From Central Park to Manhattan’s skyscraper jungle you can find just about anything you want in this city.

Good food, great shopping outlets and not to forget plenty of water are all draw-cards for potential buyers.

7. Paris

The city of romance and love or so they say. Quite frankly we are not that keen about Paris. We think it is dirty and sometimes even rude. Whoever said it was a place to go for loving?

But jokes aside, it has its niceties. Take the Eiffel Tower for example, great views from the top. Or a boat trip on the river Seine should not be looked over for a weekend trip. Buying a home there though requires some decent funding with $12,122 per sq.m. not cheap but certainly more affordable than Monte Carlo.

8. Singapore

If you like clean and order, then Singapore is your city. With strict laws about littering and plenty of green in and around the city, this cosmopolite in Asia is a favourite for many. It will set you back some $9,701 per sq.m. but think how close you would be to the rest of Asia.

9. Rome

All roads lead to Rome, right? They certainly do. And if you find yourself lost on an European road trip in search of a new home, then Rome will set you back some $9,166 per sq.m.

But as a reward you might get to see the pope or visit the Spanish steps. One thing the Italians certainly know is how to live life and yes we forgot, how to cook. Living in a city like Rome will most certainly pile on the extra kilos.

10. Mumbai

India, or Mumbai clocks in in 10th position. Quite astounding when we think back how not to long ago we saw India as a 3rd world country.These guys have certainly busted their behinds in the race of world domination and consequently built and grown some impressive cities.

If you want to buy real estate in Mumbai, you are looking at around $9,163 per sq.m.

All of these data has been based on the average price of a 120 sq.m. apartment within the city centre and in good condition. In total, more than 110 cities around the world were surveyed for this purpose and data was collected during 2008.

So tell us, where will you buy your home?

Blood sugar tests: Understanding your results

http://ping.fm/63yEQ

Blood sugar tests: Understanding your results

Introduction

Blood sugar tests measure how well your body processes sugar (glucose). Some blood sugar tests are used to diagnose prediabetes or diabetes. Others determine how well you're managing your diabetes.

Click on the tabs to the left to learn more about various blood sugar tests and what the results mean.

Fasting blood sugar test

What is a fasting blood sugar test?
A fasting blood sugar test measures the amount of sugar in your blood after you fast for at least eight hours or overnight.

What's normal?
A normal fasting blood sugar result is lower than 100 milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood (mg/dL).

What level suggests prediabetes?
If your fasting blood sugar level is 100 mg/dL to 125 mg/dL, you have impaired fasting glucose — commonly known as prediabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood sugar test several days to a week later.

What level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
A fasting blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL or higher is consistent with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes when accompanied by classic signs and symptoms of diabetes — increased thirst or hunger, frequent urination, weight loss or blurred vision.

To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood sugar test on another day. If your test results are 126 mg/dL or higher twice in a row after at least eight hours of fasting, you may have diabetes.

If your blood sugar level is higher than 200 mg/dL and you have signs or symptoms of diabetes, you may be diagnosed with diabetes without a second test for confirmation.

Random blood sugar test

What is a random blood sugar test?
A random blood sugar test measures your blood sugar at any point in time, not necessarily a certain amount of time after a meal, snack or beverage.

What's normal?
A normal random blood sugar result is lower than 100 mg/dL.

What level suggests prediabetes?
If your random blood sugar level is higher than 100 mg/dL but lower than 199 mg/dL, you may have prediabetes.

What level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
A random blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL or higher suggests either type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Remember, your blood sugar level alone isn't enough to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Your doctor may do other tests to determine which type of diabetes you have.

Oral glucose tolerance test

What is an oral glucose tolerance test?
An oral glucose tolerance test measures your body's response to sugar. First your fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then you drink a sugary solution. Your blood sugar level is measured after one hour and again after two hours. If your blood sugar level rises more than normal, you may have diabetes.

For this test to be accurate, it's important to eat normally and be in good health. Even a cold can affect the results. So can inactivity or certain medications. A modified version of the oral glucose tolerance test, known as a glucose challenge test, is often used to screen pregnant women for gestational diabetes.

What's normal?
A normal blood sugar level after an oral glucose tolerance test is lower than 140 mg/dL.

What level suggests prediabetes?
If your blood sugar level is 140 mg/dL to 199 mg/dL after an oral glucose tolerance test, you may have prediabetes.

What level suggests type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
A blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL or higher two hours after you drink the sugary solution may indicate diabetes. Your doctor may repeat this or other tests to confirm the diagnosis.

Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test

What is an A1C test?
An A1C test, also known as a glycated hemoglobin test, isn't used for diagnosing prediabetes or diabetes. Instead, it gauges how well you're managing your diabetes.

Unlike a fasting blood glucose test or a daily finger stick, both of which measure your blood sugar level at a given time, the A1C test reflects your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Test results show what percentage of your hemoglobin — a protein found in red blood cells — is sugar coated (glycated).

What's normal?
The normal range for people without diabetes is 4 percent to 6 percent. An A1C level lower than 7 percent is a common target for people with diabetes — although your doctor may recommend a level lower than 6 percent if you're pregnant or have other health concerns. An A1C level higher than 7 percent may indicate the need for a change in your diabetes treatment plan.

The normal range for A1C results may vary somewhat among labs. If you consult a new doctor or use a different lab, it's important to consider this possible variation when interpreting your test results.

Heel Pain, Heel Spurs

Written by Will Munro

Heel pain, the most common foot complaint, affects millions of people around the world and often occurs as a result of daily activities and exercise. Plantar Fasciitis is the ailment that is often associated with the symptoms of Heel Pain and Heel Spurs. Other causes which can result in a heel pain can be a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst. Due to the fact that a heel pain can be caused due to any of the above-mentioned causes, it is vital to have heel pain properly diagnosed.

This article will concentrate on the causes of heel pain, the symptoms, as well as the most effective treatment methods available nowadays.

Plantar Fasciitis and its development:

As mentioned earlier, Plantar Fasciitis is an ailment that is often associated with the symptoms of Heel Pain and Heel Spurs. The Plantar Fascia is a flat band of fibrous ligaments located under the foot that connects the heel bone to the toes. This dense strip of tissues acts like a bow-string that spans the arch of the foot to give it support.

The Plantar Fascia generally takes the full load of the body when the foot is placed on the ground. Due the force exerted, the Plantar Fascia stretch out, flatten the foot and evenly distribute the weight of the body. Usually the Plantar Fascia is very tough and flexible to withstand forces transmitted during walking or running. However the normal function can be affected by excessive abuse of the feet, over-pronation, old age or being over-weight, because of which the Plantar Fascia exhibits micro tearing, leading to irritation, inflammation, and pain at the junction of the Plantar Fascia and calcaneus or heel bone.

The Heel Spur is a bony growth on the heel, a result of the continuous pulling of the Fascia. This growth triggers pain in the surrounding tissues that get inflamed.

Symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis

The symptoms of Plantar Fasciitis are:

Ø Pain on the bottom of the heel

Ø Pain that is usually worse upon arising

Ø Pain that increases over a period of months

The Plantar Fascia contracts and becomes tight while in rest periods such as sleeping or sitting. However during initial movement or when one suddenly gets up, the Fascia must quickly expand to the rapid application of the weight, thereby resulting in micro-tearing the ligaments and the pain for a few minutes.

Causes of Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar Fasciitis can result due to various factors. Some of the most common ones are:

Ø Faulty structure of the foot. This factor covers both individuals with overly flat feet or high-arched feet.

Ø Wearing non-supportive or ill-fitting footwear can also lead to this ailment.

Ø Strenuous, repetitive, and arduous exercises like jumping and running can be another cause for Plantar Fasciitis.

Ø Another major reason for Plantar Fasciitis can be obesity or pregnancy.

Ø Achilles tendons and tight calf muscles can also lead to Plantar Fasciitis.

Other causes for Plantar Fasciitis can be:

Ø Bruises on the bone.

Ø Excessive pronation (tendency of the foot to roll inward)

Ø Stress Fractures.

Diagnosis and treatment of Plantar Fasciitis

The diagnosis of Plantar Fasciitis is not easy and may involve a history of symptoms, physical examination, and other tests. With no real cure for Plantar Fasciitis, steps can be taken to prevent the pain. The Plantar Fasciitis can be treated through numerous traditional or non-surgical remedies such as:

Ice Packs - This should be applied to the inflamed area.

Night Splint - The mild stretching caused by night splints help in tensioning the calf muscles and Plantar Fascia.

Shock wave therapy - Shock wave pulses applied through a special machine helps in relieving the soreness.

Anti-inflammatory drugs - Ibuprofen drugs help in the relief of heel pain.

Cortisone injections - The steroid treatment is locally administered in the heel area.

Orthotic / Orthotic Insole Device - Orthotics realigns the foot and ankle-bones to their natural position and restores the normal foot function that alleviates not only foot problems but also ailments in other parts of the body.

However it is advisable to undergo long-term treatment, which have been found to be quite effective as the Plantar Fascia excessively stretches due to over-pronation (fallen arches) and tightening of the calf muscle and ligaments and the above-mentioned remedial measures assist in relieving heel pain for a short-term only.

Surgery as a means of cure should be the very last resort for the treatment of heel pain and should only be considered when all other conservative treatment has failed. In the surgical intervention the Plantar Fascia is partially released from the bone and any spur removed if found to be present. The pressure on the small nerves that traverse under the Plantar Fascia is released after proper identification of the cause.

Prevention

The state of Plantar Fasciitis is such that no matter what kind of treatment is undertaken, the primary causes that led to it may remain. Overweight being a major contributor of Plantar Fascia, steps should be taken to reach and maintain an ideal weight. Also wearing supportive shoes and using custom orthotic devices go a long way in giving relief from Plantar Fasciitis.

The fact that heel pain affects a large number of people, most people respond to conservative, non-surgical therapy and heal within 6 to 8 weeks and only a minuscule percentage of the affected population go under the knife. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) conducted a two-year national study on treatments of heel pain. The study clearly demonstrated that the best course of cost-effective treatment is a strict regime of using "off the shelf" orthotics (arch supports) and a specific stretching program. The treatment resulted in 90 percent of patients experiencing substantial relief from heel pain symptoms

The difference between modern and classic furniture

Written by Paul Arconto

The difference between modern and classic furniture is not hard to tell. The first difference is the size. Classic furniture was not made for compact houses or apartments. They were made to fit into big rooms. A classic chair can easily seat two people in relative comfort. However, if two people will try to sit on a modern chair, it would probably break.

Classic furniture is big, heavy and is made from solid wood. The wood used in classic furniture is dark. The cushions, seats and mattresses in past used to be stuffed with horsehair or cotton. Silk and cotton were the fabrics that were used in classic furniture.

Modern furniture is light and made from a variety of materials. Wrought iron has become very popular in making modern home furniture. Light colored woods like Pine are also used extensively in making modern furniture. Most modern home furniture use light colored wood.

Then laminated wood, chipboard is also used in modern furniture. These materials are used extensively in making modern office furniture, kitchen cabinets, and wardrobes.

A totally different material that is used extensively in modern furniture is strengthened plastic and glass. You can have a glass-topped table resting on strengthened glass globes or ceramic vases or with a steel or iron base. Plastic chairs are common at lounges and waiting areas in airports. The use of plastic and glass has become quite extensive in making modern furniture. Some plastic furniture is given a light wood colour to make it appear like wood.

A number of new fabrics are now used in making modern furniture. Polyesters and other man made fabrics are used extensively. The use of cotton, silk and other heavy drape material has become obsolete and out dated. Another noticeable change in modern furniture is the colours. Wrought iron is dull grey, blue or black. The monotony may be broken by steel, chrome or brass. Wood is light and the colours of the fabric may be bright. Old classic furniture had off white or cream as the base colour. Modern furniture fabric colours range from white to black with bright colours gaily mixed in. Purple, bright blue, fire engine red are used with gay abandon. In addition, the designs in the fabric have changed immensely. From sedate motifs of flowers, or birds, or fruits, the designs have gone to zebra stripes.

Modern furniture is brighter, airy and lighter than classic furniture. Maintaining modern furniture is also quite easy as is assembling and disassembling it. There are cleaners, polishers, and stain removers that keep modern furniture looking sparklingly new.

Modern furniture is more ergonomically designed. The chairs are not straight backed, and the cushions are more comfortable. The biggest difference is that modern furniture is not formal and stiff.

Modern furniture is more convenient and fit in easily in smaller houses. Some pieces of modern furniture are amazing in their design. They are a piece of art. Some of the geometrical patterns used in modern furniture are quite overwhelming. It is easy to tell the difference between classic and modern furniture by just looking at it.

How To Use Acupuncture To Reduce Stress

Written by Gagan Singh

Due to contemporary lifestyle and hectic schedule, you may experience stressful events that are both physically and emotionally tiresome. As a result you are hounded by feelings of bad temper and annoyance, which can disturb your inner peace. Bad dreams, restless sleep, anxiety and unbalanced meals make your stress unbearable. While acupuncture cannot eliminate stress completely, it can surely aid in reducing the symptoms and relaxing the body. The problem arises when feeling begins to build up inside the human body. Slowly emotional imbalances start to increase and thus overpower the normal energy circulation. Each emotion can produce different kinds of symptom. Frustration can lead to slowing down of various parts of body.

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for reducing stress levels. It does not involve the use of any sort of medication and is non-toxic as well. It is an efficient substitute for various other solutions against stress such as alcohol or drugs. Acupuncture was originally used as Chinese people about 2000 years ago for providing relaxation to body. Chinese have developed various kinds of methods to combat stress, of which acupuncture is one of them. The practice of employing acupuncture for managing stress in both professional and personal life is growing rapidly.

Before starting any formal treatment, an acupuncturist usually inquires about your previous health records for correctly assessing the health of your body. As stress-related problems vary individual to individual, this is a crucial step of your entire treatment. By understanding the general state of your health, an acupuncturist can identify the specific underlying problem, and perform the most effective form of therapy.

According to theory of Acupuncture an ailment in the human body occurs due to an inequality in the energy flowing through your body. The acupuncturists firstly identify potential energy lines along your body, known as meridians. Then needles are inserted at specific points on these meridians to stimulate the energy flow. Chemicals are released into the blood as a result of body subjected to stress. This is accompanied by various kinds of physical changes such as blood pressure, a faster heart rate and breathing rate.

By regulating the energy flow in the body, acupuncture produces reassuring and soothing effects amongst individuals. It is perfect for dealing with physical symptoms such as gastric disorders, headaches and sleeping problems. You should always go to a licensed practitioner to avoid the improper use of needles and to ensure the needles are always inserted correctly

Acupuncture for dealing with stress should not be used in isolation. The exact reason for your stress should be identified and then approach practitioner if needed. Furthermore balanced diet and regular exercise is important for maintaining good health.

Bangalore: At number nine, Savitri Jindal, Non-Executive Chairperson of steel and power conglomerate O P Jindal group, is the first and only Indian to feature among world's 20 richest women enlisted by Forbes. Indu Jain of Times of India fell from the ranks after making the cut in previous years.

When Savitri's late husband O P Jindal died in a 2005 helicopter crash, the subsequent transfer of wealth made her India's richest woman. Her net worth today is $6 billion. The group has nearly 50 plants in India and abroad, including South American countries like Chile, Bolivia and Peru.

The combined net worth of the twenty women featured in the list is a mammoth $160 billion. They represent industries like manufacturing, finance, real estate and commodities. The two top spots belong to Wal-Mart heiresses Christy Walton and Alice Walton with a net worth of $20 billion and $19.5 billion respectively. Forbes credited Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer for powering through the global recession. It recorded $400 billion in annual sales last year alone.

Last year's number one Liiane Bettencourt who is worth $15 billion is placed at number three this year. Daughter of Eugene Schueller, the founder of L'Oreal, has had a controlling stake of 27 percent in L'Oreal for the last four decades. Last year she was worth $20 billion.

Also in the list are, Susanne Klatten, Birgit Rausing, Jacqueline Mars, Anne Cox Chambers, Abigail Johnson and Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken. Some high profile female billionaires who didn't make it to the list include Oprah Winfrey, J K Rowling and former eBay Chief, Margaret Whitman.
