SOME HEALTH FACTS ONION AND TEA GUD FOR HEART

ONION GUD 4 UR HEART

London, Oct 7 (IANS) Red onion, commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine, could help prevent heart disease. Scientists have discovered that it helps remove bad cholesterol - which can cause heart attacks and strokes - from the body.

At the same time, red onions retain the body's good cholesterol, which helps protect against heart disease.

BLACK TEA GUD 4 UR HEART

London, Oct 9 (ANI): Just three cups of tea in a day are enough to protect you against heart attacks and stroke, claim researchers.

A new review has demonstrated that regular drinking of either black or green tea can reduce the risk of heart problems by 11 per cent.

It cuts the build-up of plaque in the arteries - a combination of dangerous fat and cholesterol.

In terms of the delivery of antioxidants, two cups of tea is equivalent to five portions of vegetables or two apples

The review by researchers at the University of Western Australia revealed that the benefits of tea are largely due to the flavonoid content, antioxidant ingredients that counteract cardiovascular disease.

One cup of tea provides 150-200mg of flavonoids.

As far as the delivery of antioxidants is concerned, two cups of tea is equivalent to five portions of vegetables or two apples.

The review also found that the flavonoid content of black tea is equal to that of green tea. Almost 80 per cent of Britons are tea drinkers.

HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF

You need to sell yourself, but you don't want to sound like a salesperson. Instead of detailing what's so great about you, tell a story that covers the following:

1. Situation. Explain the problem or situation that you, your unit, or your company faced.

2. Tasks. Outline what your responsibility was in solving the problem.

3.Achievements. Make clear what you did to meet your responsibility.

4. Results. What happened as a result of your achievements? Did revenues increase? Did customer satisfaction improve? Use specific examples to pique your audience's interest."

Medication During Hajj

NOTE FROM COMPILER:

      THE INTENTION OF THIS POST IS TO SHARE INFORMATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL PEOPLE.PLEASE SHARE IT WITH YOUR RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.MAYBE IT WILL HELP SOMEBODY.ITS "SADAQA JAARIYAH" TO SPREAD KNOWLEDGE THAT HELPS OTHERS.IT IS NEVER MEANT FOR SHOW OFF WHICH IS A BIG SIN..

How to do tamattu  haj

PRIMARY AIM OF HAJJ :

To remain at all times focused on the primary aim of his Hajj: to plead to
The Almighty to forgive his sins and to bless him with The Straight Path for
the remainder of his life. it is the starting point of one's commitment to
cast away one's bad ways and to begin afresh a new Allah-centred life.

A. Some useful information (Advisory) for hajj:

1. Medicines: Take medical prescription alongwith you. Most pilgrims will
suffer from one or more of the following: sore throat, coughing, frequent
sneezing, runny nose , fever, leg cramp , foot sore. Bring enough supplies of over the counter medicine on advice of your personal doctor with his rubber stamped prescription containing his registration number
. This will reduce the need to make frequent trips to the makkah medina indian
pharmacy and also lower your out of pocket expenses.
2. Take multivitamins daily as you may not be eating a balanced diet
there. You may want to consider a diet of bottled water, jamjam water, dates and fruits as this will reduce the need to go to the toilet frequently. This diet may also help to keep you more alert and not make you feel 'sleepy'. You will thus
have more time to worship.
3. The Hajj pilgrimage involves a lot of walking. If you don't go for daily
walks at home, begin it well before your journey to The Holy Land. This will
reduce the likelihood of getting muscle pulls and cramps. The tawaf, sa'ee,
and the frequent daily walks to The Mosque will help to improve your health.
Do not stop this habit of walking when you return home. You must to be in
the best of health to concentrate fully on your worship wherever you are.
4. You are never more than a foot from another pilgrim when you are in
Mecca during the peak period of the pilgrimage. Cover your nose and mouth
with a mask when you leave your hotel/apartment to reduce the likelihood of
infection. You can get a good quality washable mask at the pharmacies
there.
5. If you wear glasses, bring along an extra pair, preferably one with a
plastic frame. The likelihood of your glasses falling down and being stepped
on by sudden movements of the crowd are high. As an additional cover, bring
along your glass prescriptions as well. There are optical shops near The
Mosque. It is common for those wearing glasses to remove it and place it in 
front before starting their prayer. Never do this in both mosques. The
likelihood of your glasses being stepped on by others is 99%.
6. Flatulence (passing of wind) is an important cause of the loss of wudu. In
the crowd packed Holy Mosques, this can be a big problem. Avoid or reduce
the intake of food that contribute to this problem. If this is a serious
problem for you, consult your doctor. Both herbal and other medications
[antacid antiflatulent] are now available to reduce the occurrence of
flatulence.
7. It is very important that the pilgrim wears his identification tag at all
times he/she is out of his place of accommodation
B. Location map of Kaba and medina in the brain
If I am standing facing the door of the Kaba, On my left its Hazre Aswad ,
than on my right its Hateem and on my back its makame ibraheem and
further behind its zam zam.
Tawaf starts from the black stone hazre aswad. During the peak Haj period, DO NOT attempt to kiss The Black Stone hazre aswad.
We used to sit in mataaf facing the kaaba door till all our companions gather at the same place. Similarly we used to gather near the iron gate near jannatul baqi in medina till all our companions gather. Only after that we used to go to our home together. 

Other Items You should Take Along:
1. A 20 Inch suitcase with name, address, passport no, cover no written outside.
2. A small carry bag
3. A warm bed sheet
4. A small bag for Stones to be collected at muzdalifa to throw stone at satan at mina
5. Small Torch
6. Two sets of Ihram ( one towel set and one Cotton set)

9. Watch
10. Cotton Shirts and pant
11. A sweater
12. A waist Belt
13. Tissue papers
14. Medicines with prescription
15. Mobile phone
16. tayammum earth

Medication during Hajj

Gastrointestinal and respiratory infections are very common during Hajj . Carry certain medicines with you for use later.

PREVENTIVE ANTIBIOTICS: Ask your doctor to prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic to be taken prophylactically (i.e., as a preventive measure) throughout your stay in Saudi Arabia. This writer's (saleem) doctor prescribed 250 mg of the antibiotic CIPLOX250 to be taken daily once. I never contracted any disease during my stay there but all my team members suffered this and that.
Some people were prescribed AMOXICILLIN in place of CIPLOX250 by doctors and pharmacists with good results. 
  1. Take Medicines with prescription

1.Ibuprofen (for pain)
2. TYLENOL PM (as a sleep-aid)
3. BENGAY, ASPERCREME (for muscular pain)

11.BAND-AIDS, Cotton, Dettol

b. Take multivitamins daily as you may not be eating a balanced diet

c. You may want to consider a diet of  jum jum water, dates and fruits as this
will reduce the need to go to the toilet frequently. This diet may also
help to keep you more alert and not make you feel 'sleepy'. You will thus
have more time to worship.

Tawaf (Arabic: طواف) is one of the principal rites of the pilgrimage and refers to circumambulating or walking in circles around the Kaaba in an anti-clockwise motion. Seven complete circuits, with each one starting and ending at the hazre aswad the black stone, constitute one Tawaf.
Sa'ee is an Arabic word which means ritual walking or formal procedure defined in Pilgrimage. It is the back and forth movement between the hills of Safa and Marwah in Makkah. It is an integral part of the Hajj and Umrah in Islam.Thus the walk begins at Safa and ends at MarwahStarting from Safa one should walk to Marwah and this constitutes one walk, from Marwah back to Safa the second and so on up to seven walks finally ending at Marwah.
YOU WILL BE IN IHRAM DURING STAY AT MINA, ARAFAT, MUDALIFAH. Learn dos and donts when in Ihraam.There is no problem in taking insulin injection during ihram by diabetic patients as it is not among the forbidden things in ihram.
For detailed description of hajj pls read this article https://islamqa.info/en/31822

7th zil hajj ;
Take a bath(ghusl) , WEAR IHRAM, pray two rakats sunnat and make niyyat for hajj tamattu. Say Talbiyah (" labbaik....)
Go to kaaba , do TAWAF & SAYEE. If you do sayee now,no need to do sayee in tawaf e ziyarat ( FARZ TAWAAF on 10th zul hajj ) .

8 th zul hajj : Spend the day & night at Mina. Pray five salaats.
we were sent to arafah from mina on the nite itself .

9 th zul hajj: Day of Arafah : From dhuhr to asr, "STAND UP" for prayers & pleadings at Arafah maidan ( inside tent ). "Arafah is Hajj". Keep this in mind.

After sun set at arafat ,we went to mujdalifah and stayed the night there under open sky ( no tent ) . its too cold at night but we cant wear anything as we are in ihraam  , we collected 70 pebbles at mujdalifah. 

10th zul hajj: day of Qurbaani :

on the morning of 10 th zilhaj , we offer fazr prayer at mujdalifah and immidiately move to mina with the stones in hand to stone the big satan.

Five things are to be done serially one after another on the 10th day. You cant break the series atall. or you will have to offer a dum ( a sheep ).

the series is as follows :

1. Stone the big satan ( only the big satan, not the other two) with seven pebbles . you can throw pebbles on behalf of other persons also who cant throw themselves.
2. Do the qurbani ( if you personally want to do the jawah of the sheep than u will have to go to makkah to do so, since we gave the duty of doing the qurbani to a saudi govt. bank , we did not went to makkah, instead we rested at our tent in mina and waited for the qurbaani time to be over )
3.  Shave off hair ( After the qurbaani time is over )
4. Took off Ihraam ( After shaving )
5. immidietly went to makkah to do tawaf e ziyarat ( FARZ TAWAAF ) . In tawaf e ziyarat , we have not done Ramal, Izteba, and sayee.
6. After farz tawaf ,we came back to mina to stay the night at mina tents.

 11 th zul hajj . you stone the three satans , each of them with seven stones after dhuhr prayer ( not before noon ). stay at mina.

 12 th zul hajj . you stone the three satans , each of them with seven stones after dhuhr prayer ( not before noon ). And now, you must leave mina boundary line before maghrib to makkah. if you are in Mina after sunset  , you will have to stay one another day at mina (13 th zul hajj also) and stone the three satans...he he he....and nobody wants to live in mina for another night.

You have now completed Hajj Tamattu Minus Tawaf Al Wada  ( Farewell Tawaf )

BEFORE U LEAVE FOR INDIA :

Before coming back to Home (India) , you do Tawaf al wada, no sayee .

With this last act, by the grace of almighty Allah your tamattu haj is complete.

MY OWN HAJ EXPERIENCE IN 2008

( 03.11.2008) we boarded a  plane at Guwahati Airport (The first direct flight from Guwahati to Jeddah Non Stop) noon time and reached jeddah at maghrib. And travelled by bus to makkah and at isha time we offered our FIRST prayer in life DIRECTLY infront of Kaaba. 
I just cant describe the feeling here. Seeing is only believing. Go for it man when you are young and energetic.




Here is one of my haj experience that you may find interesting and informative 

...
at makkah u find barbers to shave off your hairs easily. so many of them are there....shouting at you...kom here kom here...

But on the 10th zulhijjah, at mina, you will not find barbers easily. and you cant shave yourself or your male relative cant shave you if he has not shaved his hair .We want to take off Ihraam fast , so, i searched and searched frantically but could not find any.

nobody there take chances with unknown people . But I asked one boy whether he will shave me, he said yah yah, why not. and now listen how he shaved me. i gave him my razor. he opened the razor set and took out the blade. holding the blade by hand he shaved me in 10 minutes flat. and my head was red here and there with cuts.

my mom was not worried about the cuts , she was worried about the unknown boy and probable infection. i Told mom that I carried the blade from Delhi. (MY OWN BLADE)

After that , i shaved my father and took almost one hour to shave him, isko dekh kar shamim bhai dar gaye and he took a round of the tents at mina aur shamim bhai ko kisi ne kar diyaa ganja,

Summery of the story : Take your own blade with u when u go there. and dont take unnecessary risks.












I think the book "HOJOLOI OLAOK " in assamese compiled by syed sayeedur rahman is the most easy to follow and step by step haj guide book I have ever found. email: sayeedbinjamal@gmail.com



How to Uninstall windows 7 in a dual boot system

If you have installed Windows 7 or Windows Vista on top of current existing Windows XP to make the PC a dual boot system, but now decided to ditch or dump the Windows 7 or Windows Vista partition to revert to the old good classic Windows XP follow the guide below to uninstall and remove Windows 7 or Windows Vista to leave only Windows XP without having to reinstall the OS, and without affecting saved files and data.

Important: Do not use this tutorial if your dualboot system is Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

Boot up and log on to Windows XP desktop.

Insert the Windows Vista or Windows 7 DVD installation disc into CD-ROM or DVD-ROM optical drive.

Alternatively, mount the Windows 7 or Windows Vista DVD ISO image on any virtual drive.

Run Command Prompt, or click directly to Start menu -> Run command.

In the command prompt or the Run text box, issue the following command and hit Enter:

[DVD Drive Letter]:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

For example,

If the DVD drive path is F:, then enter the following:

F:\boot\bootsect.exe /nt52 ALL /force

The step will remove the boot menu to select operating system to start.

Remove the DVD disc and restart the computer.

The computer will boot up with Windows XP installation partition.

Manually remove files and folders of Windows Vista or Windows 7, including Windows, Program Files and Users folder. If you're installing to separate partition, just format the partition to clean it instantly (with FDisk, Disk Manager of Computer Management or third party partition management software such as Partition Magic or EASEUS Partition Manager).

On the root system folder of Windows XP, delete Boot.BAK and BootSect.BAK. The two files are remnant backup leftover files of previously installed Windows Vista or Windows 7 bootloader, but no longer useful for Windows XP only system.

Tip: NT52 is the MBR (Master Boot Record) used by Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, while Windows Vista uses NT6. So if you're uninstall Windows 7 in Vista/7 dual boot system, change the NT52 in the command to NT60.

Fast Shortcut: It's also possible to format the Windows Vista or Windows 7 partition straight away, and then start the computer with Windows XP Setup CD to repair the system partition, or run the "bootsect /nt52 c:" command above from the \boot\ folder of leftover OS immediately to repair the boot partition.

Tip: When startup repair the boot record after removing an installed operating system from dual-boot or multi-boot system, always use the highest version of Windows installation DVD/CD to perform the repair. For example, in a tri-boot PC with Windows XP, Vista and 7, after uninstalling Windows 7, use Windows Vista to repair the system. If the PC is restored and reverted back to Windows XP, then use the Windows XP setup CD.
