The Golden Jubilee Fireworks in Kuwait

 Awesome Golden Jubilee Fireworks in Kuwait for your viewing pleasure.

Celebrating a golden jubilee Kuwait style: Gulf state spends £10million to put on the biggest firework display of all time By Phil Vinter PUBLISHED: 02:12 GMT, 11 November 2012 | UPDATED: 02:12 GMT, 11 November 2012 For the paltry sum of just £10million Kuwait earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records last night as it celebrated the golden jubilee anniversary of its constitution in style by laying on  the biggest fireworks display of all time. A dazzling array of colours illuminated the skies above the country's capital of Kuwait City as a staggering 77,282 fireworks were launched over the period of an hour. A representative of Guinness World Records announced the achievement on Kuwait television at the end of the display which had been watched by tens of thousands of Kuwaitis and expatriates on the Arabian Gulf Road by the sea. The visual presentation marked 50 years to the day since the late emir Sheikh Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah announced that Kuwait had become the first Arab state in the Gulf to issue a constitution and have a parliament. Before the festivities Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah pledged the government's continuing commitment to democracy and made a plea for national unity as the wealthy Gulf state struggles with a political crisis. Exploding fireworks illuminate the sky over Kuwait City, Kuwait, last night, during celebrations on the occasion of the 50th Constitution Day jubilee The firework show which lasted for an hour was the largest of its kinds in the world and cost a reported £10million A dazzling array of colours illuminated the skies above the country's capital of Kuwait City as a staggering 77,282 fireworks were launched over the period of an hour A representative of Guinness World Records announced that the display was the biggest of all time on Kuwait television at the end of the display which had been watched by tens of thousands of Kuwaitis and expatriates on the Arabian Gulf Road by the sea In the past 50 years parliament has been dissolved on nine occasions, while some articles of the constitution itself were frozen twice to suspend parliament for a total of 11 years in the 1970s and 1980s. Last night's celebration came as the government and opposition are locked in one of the worst standoffs in the country's history, with the opposition accusing the government of staging a coup against the constitution.   More than 150 people and 24 policemen suffered minor injuries during three massive demonstrations held by the opposition to protest against the amendment of the electoral law ordered by the emir last month. The opposition claims the amendment is in breach of the constitution and allows the government to influence the outcome of parliamentary polls due on December 1. It insists that the emir must repeal the amendment. The opposition is marking the constitution anniversary with a huge rally in Kuwait City on Sunday. The visual presentation marked 50 years to the day since the late emir Sheikh Abdullah al-Salem al-Sabah announced that Kuwait had become the first Arab state in the Gulf to issue a constitution Thousands of people gather to watch fireworks and dramatic laser display which lights the sky near the Kuwait Towers Revelers wave Kuwaiti flags in the foreground as the fireworks burst above the Persian Gulf Locals flocked to the beach to witness the incredible display, many recording it on their mobile phones A youngsters climbs on a broad pair of shoulders to get a better view of the spectacular display Last night's celebration came as the government and opposition are locked in one of the worst standoffs in the country's history, with the opposition accusing the government of staging a coup against the constitution This dramatic image captures the moment some of the thousands of fireworks gave the night sky an orange hue Before the festivities Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah pledged the government's continuing commitment to democracy Bright white fireworks light up the high rise buildings in the capital of the oil-rich state Purple and red fireworks light up the skyline above Kuwait

 Dr Jayaprakash Narayan was the chief guest for the 1st session of the 1st day of the 3-day long National Youth Day, Swami Vivekananda's birthday, celebrations in Ramakrishna Math Hyderabad on 10 Jan 2012.

Dear all¸

 

I am very happy today that so many youth are here with discipline showing believing that they are not inferior to anybody in the world.My belief is that swamijis dream about modern india will come true in this generation.Why is swamiji so special?what makes people revere him ahead even of the man who inspired hm –sri Ramakrishna.He was not the first spirtual leader but he was that first to bring a new meaning to the long existing spirituality. spirituality was not about god far off but the man next to us.He said that an ant would imagine god as a huge ant.simila rly man envisioned god as aman.Hungry man needs not speeches about god but he needs food was his warnng to us.He gave self respect back to a demoralised nation.He went to America alone without any references not knowng when the next meal would come from.he believed in himself and asked all of us to do the same.he said your past is great your future is bright .if problems are there in your present you can rectify them.lNdia and china are the oldest civilisations.but in china there is only one stream the han dynasty.but i n lndia there are many streams.lts been 2600 yrs since jews have come here.they have lived peacefully.christians have been here since long.they have lived peacefully.712 A.D was when slam arrved n nda and they have lved peacefully.no other race has absorbed so many races and retained i ts own identity.That was what swamiji said.As far as building a nation as concerned we have done extraordinary things.23 yrs of rigorous work in ltaly and 9yrs of blood shed ln germany was needed to bring about uni on.512 domnions were united in 15 days wiith almost no blood shed to unite lndia.unqiue in world history that nation was built with so li ttle bloodshed.we have a great nation . Yes We have problems. Dont shed tears about your problems but face them bravely .thi s was what swmaji said.22 dfferent languages are peacefully uni ted in india and are communicatng freely. (Cf sri lanka pakistan belgium Canada yugoslvia) that s the glory of our nation.l Asked a swamiji where are u from..He said that once we are in thi s ashram there no barriers of place and language.that is the greatness of our naton.

 

Country cannot be built by cowards.building a nation needs physic cal& mental strength.lt requires clevern ess.Swamiji didnot talk much about god.He talked about man.he talked about strength of man.personally i do not know whether god exisists.but i know there is sin.there are two big sins.one is unfulfilled potential.Nature has endowed each and every man wth a lot of potential.lt is a sin on the part of nation to not allow the potential to manifest.thousands of u are now sittng here.but there are lakhs of students wth potential who are denied the right for growth because of their birth¸ caste and economy.swamiji always said that hungry should be fed first.yo u have no right to preach about god if u ignore a poor mans suffering.He reiterated that service to man is service to god.

 

These lakhs of people desrve their chance to grow.they have the right to feel equal in all aspects with everybody else.if we fail to do that we are not true followers of swamiji.second one is avoidable suffering.everybody in this world from guru maharaj& swamiji to us will pass away.for the oldest tree also the life span is 4800 years.for everybody ageing is a must.there are some diseases whch have no cure .but barring these rest are preventable.till 10yrs ago everyday 1000 children were struck with polio.there is no point offering sympathy to a polio patent .it is preventable likewise many children suffer blind ness from preventable causes.every year in our state 20000 and 2 lakhs children in our country suffer from neonatal diseases whch are preventable.there is no greater sin than this .that is why swamiji did unique experiment of establishng this mission.he jelled spirtuality wth service.ln ths context if we have to assimilate swamijis message we have to put aside all the differences of caste creed and even country.pakistani¸ Nigerian or other country men is not our enemy.out of many milky ways our s is one.of many planets earth is one.of that india is one small country.than why this arrogance about caste creed and religion.

 

70000 years ago after volcano tobo erupted only 3000 people survived.we are all descendants of these 3000.we are creating unnecessary differnces in the name of caste¸ creed ¸religion.in colleges i find students divided unnecessarly on these grounds.without overcoming this we wll not be able to build our nation and we will not pay true homage to swamiji.

 

Self confidence is necessary.we have technology & resources which was not imaginable in swamijis time.we have problems to be faced wth self confidence and not with tears shed out of pity.for this bookish knowledge is not enough.einstein was never asked about his rank.swamijis sittng here or myself don't have our degrees.what is n.eeded is whether we can fnd solution usng the knowledge we have to solving dffcult problems.2000 yrs ago archimedes said that give me a place to stand and a long enough lever and wll lift the earth. A man wth emotion and no ntellgence will bang himself aganst a rock and not move it.A small girl wth intellgence will just put pebbles and a small lever and move the rock.

 

lN the long history of our country there may have been philosophers who may have had more knowledge than swamij.but what makes swamj unique and what makes his message so important and what makes him so remembered is he used his knowledge to building the nation and using it to solve countrys problems.he used it as a lever to solve the problems.he put these thoughts in our mnds.his deas still stay with us even 110 years after his death.lf we cannot mould knowledge to buld a nation it is useless knowledge and will not be useful for the nation

Today we are afraid of corruption .not to worry we can overcomei t.many years bribeswere needed to get or shift a phone line.but today most of you have cell phones without bribes.why is everbody a mahatma.no.corruption exsists not because lndians are bad people they are neither cowards nor thieves.. but because we have failed to do certain basic things and stop a small set of corrupt people.when tests were done placing money bags wth addresses in all countries of the world 85% of lndans mostly labourers ¸ students and lower mddle class people honestly returned these bags showing that lndans are not bad people.so with confidence and right attitude corrupton can be overconme. ln name of fightng corruption do not become weak

Lastly integrating indivdual wth community is important.einstien said 20th century is characterised by perfection of means and confusion of ends.we have attained perfection in sadhana.but we forgot the goal.we do not know what to do with our education¸ promotions in jobs or as elected representatives of people.A herbew saint said if i am not for myself than who is.who will fight for you other than yourself.so fight and fight bravely.but if am only for myself than what am l .lndividual and society cannot be seen independently.lf not know when. That s what swamiji repeatedly questioned.this does not need great sacrifices.l n fact we do not need to go upto swamiji.we are in domalguda (doma means mosquito in telugu.not in speech.just added it so that people we will understand.Rk math hyderabad is in an area called domal guda).mosquitoes are socialists. they will not differentiate between swamijis here or DGP or some body else.they bite and transmit disease.lf we do not control mosquitoes than everybody irrespective of status will suffer.so we have to integrate individual and society

l Believe tha t our race wll be glorious. A race wth hstory of 5000 years will not become extinct easily.what will happen by our inaction is one or two generations may suffer.same thing happened in Moscow 20 years ago.people were standing in freezng cold in a line for food.one young man got angry and stated that he will go to kremlin and kill general seceratary.He left and came back.when others asked if he had killed him he said there was a bigger line of people there watng to kill him.yes change happened i n soviet union but with result it was split into may parts.one culture was lost.ths country will not go anywhere.we can avoid unnecessary suffering.we can bri ng great change by working with dedication¸ common sense and using the knowledge we have.if you do that changes will come in the next ten years and your generation will be famous.hoping for that change and paying homage to swamiji l conclude my speech.

Fwd: [JNTUECKHyderabad] Married For 87 Years

To have and to hold ... for 87 years! World's longest married couple share their secrets to living happily ever after Karam, 107, and Katari, 100, have been married for 87 years They have 8 children and 28 grandchildren together The marriage is almost 5 years longer than current Guinness record holders Couple say that laughter and looking after each other is key to marriage By Bianca London PUBLISHED: 12:08 GMT, 1 November 2012 | UPDATED: 12:08 GMT,  1 In an age where few marriages endure the test of time, 107-year-old Karam and his wife Katari Chand, 100, are proof that happy ever after does exist. The couple, who have eight children and twenty eight grandchildren together, have lived in wedded bliss for 87 years making them the world's longest married couple. The pair say that the key to success is looking after each other in every way possible: ‘My trick is to make Katari laugh. I like to tell jokes and make her smile. Being funny is my way of being romantic.' says Karam. Karam and Katari Chand have been married for 87 years and are in the process of being confirmed as Guinness World Record holders for the world's longest marriage ‘I have been told laughing makes you live longer... my wife is still alive so it must have worked! I love her so much and I want to spend another 80 years by her side,’ said Karam. From romantic meals to sharing jokes, the couple, who hail from Punjab, India and now live in Bradford ensure that they do little things for each other to keep the romance alive.   Katari told romantic networking site Zoosk.co.uk: â€˜When I was young I used to make him a nice fresh meal every night. We are vegetarian so I brought lots of fresh vegetables and made sure he was eating healthy food. ‘Health is very important and I wanted to look after him so we could grow old together. Some would say it has worked! The couple, who are both over 100, have eight children and twenty eight grandchildren together ‘Oh and how can I forget, I always save a bit of my chapatti for him. Just a little gesture that he appreciated a lot and it kept me a bit slimmer.’ Karam, who likes to do a word search every day to keep his mind alive, believes that spending plenty of time together has helped their marriage last. ‘We have not spent any long span apart in over 50 years. We go everywhere together â€" up until a few years ago we went to India every year with the family and for all family weddings we make sure we get to stay together,’ he said. They maintain that the key to standing the test of time in marriage is looking after each other in every way possible Their marriage has lasted nearly five years longer than that of the current Guinness World Record holders and the couple are in the process of getting confirmation from the company that they will be named as the new record holders. Many modern day romances fail to stand the test of time but longevity and experience makes Karam the best man to go to for relationship advice. ‘In the past people used to listen. Now I don’t think people take the time to listen to each other properly. People seem too busy today with work, TV and other stuff going on around them. ‘Relationships are about understanding one another and listening to concerns and problems, so my advice to men and women is to listen to their partners, show interest in what they are saying and help them overcome any worries or problems they are going through,’ he said. The couple love to make each other laugh and will have a joint birthday celebration in November And their son Satpaul, who is extremely proud of his parent’s relationship, added his own words of wisdom. He said: ‘One piece of advice that I can’t stress enough is to keep your parents very close. We live with them in Bradford and look after them because we want to help them live as long as they can together. ‘I don’t want to see their love story end. I truly believe that by helping them over the last few years we have enabled them to enjoy their time together with no stress and being looked after.  'Also, you have to value them while they are here because you never know how long they are going to be around for.’ The still loved-up couple, who met through an arranged marriage, are having a big party in November to celebrate Karam’s 107th and Katari’s 100th birthday. The Mayor of Bradford as well as lots of community members will be joining in the festivities. THEIR TOP FIVE TIPS TO KEEPING THE ROMANCE ALIVE Always be faithful: always be faithful to one another. When you get married you commit to devoting your life to that person and even when the times are tough, don’t believe that the grass is greener...because it isn’t. Look after each other as best you can: if you want to grow old with your partner you have to make sure you always look after each other in every shape and form. Whether it is making a meal, holding your partners hand when crossing the road or being a shoulder to cry on when something goes wrong. Be tolerant of each other: everyone has bad habits or annoying traits. Whether it is leaving a towel on the floor or listening to the radio too loudly, you have to tolerate each other and realise that no one is perfect. Of course we irritate each other occasionally, but if you want to last nearly 90 years, learn to love bad habits or it won’t work. Listen to each other: the most important thing in a relationship is to listen. People don’t listen anymore because they are too busy with work and TV. Listen to your loved ones’ problems and concerns every day, because then you can help them overcome them and be happier. Also, it brings you closer together because you are the first port of call for each other when there is an issue in your life. Follow social and religious values: always make sure you follow social or religious values. Respect, care, cherish, love and value your partner â€" always treat them how you would want to be treated yourself.

An awesome story ever read .......... The Goat And The Horse!! Must Read!!!

There was a farmer who had a horse and a       

goat…..


One day, the horse became ill
 


so he called the veterinarian, who said:      
                                             
"Well, your horse has a virus.       
He must take this medicine for three days.  I'll come back on the 3rd day and if he's not  
better, we're going to have to put him down.          
                                             
Nearby, the goat listened closely to their conversation.                                  
                                             
The next day, they gave the horse the medicine and left.                        
                                             
The goat approached the horse and said:        
"Be strong, my friend. Get up or else they're going to put you to sleep!                                        
                                             
On the second day, they again gave the horse the medicine and left.          
                                             
The goat came back and said:                  
"Come on buddy, get up or  else you're going to die!                      
Come on, I'll help you get up. Let's go! One, two, and three..."                  
                                             
On the third day, they came to give the horse the medicine and the vet said:      
                                             
"Unfortunately, we're going to have to put him down tomorrow.                        
Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses".                  
                                             
After they left, the goat approached the horse and said:                            
"Listen pal, it's now or never!                
Get up, come on! Have courage!                
Come on! Get up! Get up!                      
That's it, slowly! Great!                      
Come on, one, two, and three... Good, good.        
Now faster, come on...... Fantastic! Run, run more!                                          
Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, you're a champion...!"        

              
All of a sudden, the owner came back,    saw the horse running in the                  
field and began shouting:                      
                                             
It's a miracle! My horse is cured.  We must have a grand party. Let's kill the goat!!!!
 


                                             
The Lesson:                                    
Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or who's actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen.                        
                                             
Remember:                                      

LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL   !!!                                      
                                             
If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember:                  
                                             
Amateurs built the Ark [which saved all the species]                                                              
and                                                                                        

Professionals built the Titanic [all died tragically]

 

Don't blow it away, another Planet Earth would be hard to find!!

Fwd: [JNTUECKHyderabad] CHOLESTEROL - Informative Mail [1 Attachment]

    Blog: www.nuve.info

What is Cholesterol and how you can control it ?

Cholesterol, from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid) followed by the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, is an organic chemical substance classified as a waxy steroid of fat. It is an essential structural component of mammalian cell membranes and is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity.

 

In addition to its importance within cells, cholesterol also serves as a precursor for the biosynthesis of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D.  Cholesterol is the principal sterol synthesized by animals; in vertebrates it is formed predominantly in the liver. Small quantities are synthesized in other cellular organisms (eukaryotes) such as plants and fungi. It is almost completely absent among prokaryotes (i.e., bacteria).

 

Although cholesterol is important and necessary for human health, high levels of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to damage to 

arteries and cardiovascular disease.
