Cell phone radiation

Cell phone radiation protection is a huge concern among doctors and scientists worldwide with 208 million cell phone users in the United States alone and the fear of a health crisis epidemic is very real. Experts predict 500,000 new cases of brain and eye cancer each year by 2010 as an effect of cell phone use which is staggering in comparison with the less than half figure of years past. If these figures are true then the financial and healthcare strain would be immense.
Cell phones are linked to headaches, high blood pressure, brain tumors, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and much, much more. Although these diseases can take years to develop into life threatening and ending conditions. It is currently believed that future studies will confirm these estimates so pre-measures can protect you from being a future statistic.
Here are some easy to follow cell phone radiation protection measures to keep you safe and radiation free from cell phones.



Limit your cell phone use to only necessary calls and keeping calls concise will eliminate extended exposure to radiation. Children should only use cell phones in emergencies since developing skulls are more affected by radiation. A wire headset will minimize exposure to a fraction of what is usually taken in. Remember that men who keep their cell phone turned on in their front pocket can reduce their sperm count by thirty percent. If using a phone without a headset keep the phone away from your ear until the call is connected. Do not use your cell phone in a metal enclosure because it focuses radiation on your body. Purchase a low radiation cell phone. Take nutritional supplements that help raise the bodies’ immunity to radiation.
This list is nit complete and there are many other options and information out there so stay informed and abreast of new developments in this area. These steps will prove effective in keeping radiation away from your body but only you can take these measures. Keep proactive and your cell phone radiation will stay low. This is a guide to help keep your family safe using cell phone radiation protection.

Reebok i-Run Review

The Reebok i-Run is a highly popular treadmill introduced to the market by Reebok, who are commonly known for their athletic apparel and footwear (as a subsidiary of Adidas) as opposed to fitness equipment. Part of the Reebok i-series range, the treadmill was dubbed 'smart and easy' by Reebok itself. Having tried and tested the i-Run, we were left with no choice but to agree with Reebok.

Smart this treadmill most certainly is. With a sleek design than is targeted to blend into the contemporary home, the i-Run looks great to the eye. It is also extremely compact, which again makes it ideal for the modern user. The Reebok i-Run really does have a clean look. It is also available in five different colors, including, white, black, orange, blue, and pink.

If you want evidence why 'easy' is a good adjective, then just try assembling this product. Most of the hard work is done already for you, and all you just have to do is screw the feet of the treadmill on! The i-Run is a folding treadmill which provides even more convenience. It is easy to use and operate. Nothing complicated, just as simple as most of us want it to be.



Although the Reebok i-Run is targeting the lower-end of the market in terms of pricing, this should not be a sign that it performs like other similarly priced treadmills. Quite the opposite. The i-Run has many features that your standard expensive treadmill will include. It is by all standards a powerful performer for the average user which it is targeting. A solid 1.75 HP motor will do more than an adequate job. It also has a max speed of 14km/h (8.7mph) which will cater for novices as well as experienced fitness enthusiasts. With two incline levels and 6 pre-set programmes, the i-Run is well equipped to deliver. There is a large LCD screen which will display all the vital statistics, including, distance covered, time and calories burned. You will find that although the i-Run is very well priced, Reebok have not compromised on quality.

And not compromising is what the Reebok i-Run does extremely well. Here you have a machine which is available at a bargain price, but does not compromise on performance, ease of use or design. Reebok really have struck the balance well. This is simply a fantastic value for money treadmill, and is highly recommended.

Sony Vaio X, A New Notebook Series



Its chassis is crafted out of carbon fiber and is designed to not only be incredibly light but also sturdy enough to withstand 150kg of force.

Like other Sony notebooks, the keyboard on the VAIO X is island-style, but at 88 percent of full size, it’s a bit smaller than most netbooks with 10- to 12-inch screens. Measuring 9.5 x 3.5 inches, the keyboard is about half an inch smaller in both directions than the Toshiba mini NB205, even though the VAIO X has a larger keyboard deck. This is because there’s about half an inch of space on either side of the keyboard.

The display itself again split opinion, though. It has a notable red bias, which affects skin tones, and its horizontal and vertical viewing angles are a little limited. You could also argue that its 1,366 x 768 resolution is too high for an 11.1in screen, although if you’re finding it a struggle to read system text you can enlarge it easily via Windows 7. In terms of features, the X-Series includes pretty much everything you could ask for. There’s Bluetooth, 802.11bgn WLAN, an integrated 3G modem that supports up to 7.2Mbits/sec, and a 0.3-megapixel camera.

With a single core Atom processor
, the Vaio X Series was never going to be a great performer. Even though the 2GHz Z550 chip supports hyper-threading, this is no substitute for the performance of the dual core processors used in most other laptops, and the Vaio felt a little sluggish at times. Our review unit was rated at just 2.5 under the Windows Experience Index built into Windows, but this score was held back by the low performance of the Intel GMA 500 graphics function in the chipset, while the memory and disk scores were quite respectable. However, like netbooks (which also use Atom processors) the Vaio has ample performance for productivity tasks such as word processing, email and delivering presentations.


Performance was also possibly affected by the presence of various pre-installed applications, such as 60-day trial versions of Norton Online Backup and McAfee Security Center, which run every time the computer starts regardless of whether you accept the 60-day trial conditions or not.

The netbook’s 128GB Samsung SSD booted to Windows 7 Home Premium in 50 seconds (while the average is 55 seconds), and was able to copy a 4.97GB folder of mixed media files at a rate of 27.2 MBps—close to twice the netbook average of 15.2 MBps. When converting a 114MB MPEG-4 to AVI using HandBrake, the VAIO X took 26 minutes and 45 seconds; that’s just under 3 minutes faster than the netbook average, but the average ultraportable laptop takes 14:06. The Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T, for example, took 11:24.

Despite its low weight, the X Series still provides a decent range of connectivity options, consisting of 802.11b/g/Draft n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a built-in Everywair HSDPA modem for wireless broadband, enabling buyers to stay connected virtually anywhere. It also has two USB ports, VGA output, Ethernet connector, headphone jack socket and two slots along its front edge for SD Card and Sony’s own Memory Stick Pro Duo Flash storage cards. As a measure of just how thin the Vaio X series is, a hinged cover forms one half of the Ethernet connector, because the laptop’s chassis is too thin to accommodate a standard size Ethernet jack.

The laptop’s 11.1 inch screen and 6.5 hours of battery life is also respectable. Snap on an optional larger battery and your battery life jumps to 14 hours. This is of course also thanks to the Windows 7 OS and solid state hard disk under the hood which is optimized to greatly improve battery life compared to past laptops.

Sony’s Vaio X Series is incredibly thin and light and, with a better battery life than we expected, seems an ideal machine for those who need to carry a laptop around with them. However, this model is pricey even by Sony Vaio standards, and buyers would be advised to treat it with care as we have doubts about the system’s robustness.

The Best Anti Aging Skin Treatment Revealed

What if I told you its actually possible to turn back the clock for your skin and make it healthy, young and beautiful again? This is possible by using the right anti aging skin treatment at the right time. Let’s find out how.

To keep your skin youthful and firm, you do not have to opt for harmful anti aging skin treatments like Botox or Collagen injections.

Botox involves injecting this toxin into your facial muscles. This effectively paralyzes them for some time and gives your face a relaxed appearance. The wrinkles seem to be a bit diminished as a result.

The problem is – the effects of the injection begin to wear out after a few months. You then have to undergo the treatment again and again indefinitely. Not only does this become real expensive real quick, but also causes side effects like muscle weakness and bruising.



Collagen injections are slightly better than Botox. This treatment involves injecting the Collagen directly into the skin. The Collagen injected is a synthetic version of the natural protein our body produces. The two do not integrate completely, and so the effects of the injection are short lived. It can also cause side effects like hyper tension and allergic reactions.

A very simple yet highly effective alternative to these harmful treatments is to use natural anti aging skin creams that encourage your body to produce more of Collagen and Elastin internally.

Natural substances like Manuka Honey can do this effectively. This honey stimulates the Collagen and Elastin production in the body significantly. Increased quantities of these proteins help in making the skin firm, elastic and wrinkle free. The best part is – since the proteins are produced inside the body itself, there are no chances of any kind of allergic reaction or any other side effect.

Cynergy TK™ is a natural extract derived from the wool of New Zealand sheep. It also enhances the production of Collagen and Elastin in the body and helps in making the skin youthful again. It also acts as a wonderful moisturizer and keeps the skin soft and supple.

CoQ10 or Nanobelle CoenzymeQ10 is a powerful anti oxidant. It prevents the skin from the damage caused by free radicals and is a strong anti aging ingredient.

So there you have it. The best anti aging skin treatment that not only is safe from side effects, but is also easy on the pocket. Go ahead and visit my website to find out about a natural skin care line that can give you back a fresh, youthful skin.

This may lead to other health problems during and after treatment or even during recovery from cancer. Cancer is an aggressive disease and treatment as aggressive. Radiation and chemotherapy are physically debilitating and seriously affect the mental condition of the patient.

If the treatment is carried out without taking into account the emotional impact, or even physical consequences, the suffering of patients would unduly expand and their determination and motivation to follow the treatment will also be affected. Sometimes, the focus seems only to remove tumors, but now reports from leading medical institutions suggest that cancer therapy should be introduced with the new guidelines for cancer care.

New standards proposed plan to achieve three objectives: to identify if a patient is distressed and otherwise unhealthy, helping patients to treat these secondary issues, and periodically evaluate the patient standard care and be flexible enough to accommodate new changes. This may lead to the best way of administering a sympathetic treatment of cancer, not only with the specific intent to kill cancer cells only turn a blind eye to everything else.


It is recognized that existing methods of cancer treatment for some very severe side effects. And if the adverse effects of therapy itself will weaken the benefits of treatment, the patient finally ending the suffering, not only through illness, but also during treatment and during the recovery phase, even after treatment stops. Although some of the resources that already exist to help patients through painful and exhausting phase of treatment, cancer care providers can not provide sufficient attention to identifying the individual needs of patients and helping them use these resources.

Some of the common needs of patients include access to information about cancer and treatment for depression and other mental health conditions that are natural, but the side effects of going through such a devastating experience, such as cancer.

During treatment, the patient may also need help performing daily activities. They must also be provided with easy access to transportation, medicines and other items that they either can not afford or do not have access.

This is not only cancer but other serious debilitating disease also causes a huge strain on all aspects of human life. New standards of treatment of patients needed to address this particular area, to improve the quality of services provided to patients.

Top 10 tips for Wireless Home Security

A wireless home network brings many benefits - all the family can access the Internet simultaneously, you can use your laptop anywhere within the radius of a wireless network, freeing you from physical limitations, you do not have to string Cat-5 cable throughout your house (without holes in the wall, either!) - but also Wi-Fi network also brings its own set of security problems. The following recommendations provide a list of actions to be taken to improve your Wi-Fi network security.

1. Place the access point to the center position

Wi-Fi signals radiate from the router or access point, so that the access device positioned as centrally as possible to reach two goals. First, it provides Wi-Fi signal would reach all the areas in your home, and secondly, it will minimize the amount of signal leakage for their property. This is important to minimize the chance of drive-access to your system. If your signal can be accessed by anyone on the street, it can be detected and exploited by unscrupulous people, but if your network security is inadequate, they may even be able to gain access to confidential information.

2. The inclusion of the encryption scheme of the network

All Wi-Fi equipment supports some form, which makes the encryption of messages sent over the wireless network is less likely to be read by an external body. Available schemes vary with WEP encryption is weak (and old) and WPA - WPA2, and now - being stronger and better. You can not mix and match, although, as with all Wi-Fi devices on your network must use the same encryption scheme. WEP may not be as good as WPA settings, but remember that it is much better than no encryption at all.



3. Choose a new default user and administrator password

Access Points, or the router is the heart of your home Wi-Fi network. This comes from the factory with a default administrator usernames and passwords. Manufacturers set both the account username and password at the factory. Administrator account allows the user to enter the network addresses and information. Username often simply the word admin or administrator. Password is usually empty or consists of the word “administrator”, “public” or “password”. Hackers are well aware of such default, and if you do not change them, it represents a serious risk of the network is accessible on the baddie. Once you set up your access point or router to change the administrator username and password, and it’s a good idea to change them on a regular basis, say every 30 to 60 days.

4. Change the default SSID name

Manufacturers of Wi-Fi access points and routers, typically ship their products by default network name (SSID on). SSID stands for Service Set Identifier, which is a 32-character sequence that uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. In other words, the SSID name of your wireless network. To ensure that the mobile device to connect to a wireless network, he must know the SSID of the wireless network in question. If you connect your wireless router or access point, and leave the default SSID, it will not take long for the attacker to determine what is the SSID. Once you set up your access point or router, change the SSID to a unique name that will be difficult to guess.

5. Disabling SSID broadcasting

SSID broadcast of your access point or router is happening every few seconds, and is designed to allow users to locate, identify and connect to Wi-Fi networks. If you have a wireless device, this feature allows you to discover the network, which is in the range, and that their names. This is the first step in connecting to Wi-Fi network. This feature is not necessary in the home network, however, and this is undesirable because it allows outside organizations to detect your network’s SSID. It is strongly recommended that the home network users to disable this feature in order to improve the security of your Wi-Fi network.

6. Enable MAC-address filtering

The functionality of the known media access control (MAC) address filtering uses the physical computer hardware. Each computer has its own unique MAC-address. MAC-address filtering allows the network administrator to enter a list of MAC-addresses that can communicate on the network. It also allows the network administrator to deny access to any MAC-address is not allowed on the network. This method is very reliable, but if you buy a new computer or if visitors want to use your home network, you need to add a new machine MAC-address to the list of approved addresses.

7. Assigning a static IP-address of the device

Static IP-destination address (sometimes also called a fixed address) is an alternative to dynamic solutions (called DHCP) for Internet protocol networks. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an Internet protocol for automatic configuration of computers using TCP / IP. DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP-addresses of devices connected to your Wi-Fi network .. Dynamic addressing is convenient. It also allows the use of mobile computers to more easily move between different networks. Unfortunately, this can work for hackers who can get the real IP-address from the network DHCP-pool. To avoid this possibility, disable DHCP on your access point or router and assign a fixed IP-address for each device in the network.

8. Including hardware and software firewalls in the network

Most routers these days contain a built-in hardware firewall capabilities, but it is also recommended that each computer (PC or laptop) connected to a Wi-Fi network must have a personal firewall installed. Software firewall protects your computer against penetration by scanning incoming messages and block suspicious traffic from entering the system. This will also prevent unauthorized outgoing messages that may prevent your system from Trojans send valuable information to the hacker.

9. ????????? ?????????????? ??????????? ? ???????? Wi-Fi ?????

If Wi-Fi allows the device detects an open (ie, unsecured) Wi-Fi networks, such as free wireless point, or even neighbors unsecured network, it can connect automatically without notice to you. For example, on Windows XP computers with Wi-Fi connections is controlled by the operating system is called the “Automatically connect to non preferred networks.” Once connected, you can expose your system safe. Turn off all automatic connections, or at least allow the connection once you have been informed and approved the communication.

10. Shut down your network if you do not use

If Wi-Fi network is not enabled, hackers can not get to it. This is perhaps the best way to avoid security problems. Of course, if it is off, you can not use it as … However, consider disabling the wireless system in the rejection of the application, such as vacation, if you’re away from home on business, or any other times when you know you will not use it.

Restaurant City Tips and Tricks


We all love food. We appreciate food and we crave for food.

Before, I want to have my own restaurant. However, I don’t have the resources to pursue that dream but thanks to Restaurant City, I can at least pretend that I can. Restaurant City is a new game on facebook developed by Playfish.

In Restaurant City, you get to create and run your very own restaurant! Design it, decorate it, hire your friends to work in it, and collect new ingredients and menu items!

I’ve been playing Restaurant City for a week now and I’m loving it.

So now, let me share some few tips and pointers for Restaurant City.



How do you get ingredients?

* Daily Freebie
This is automatic and will greet you as soon as you log on each day.
* Daily Quiz
Each day, you receive a quiz question in your inbox. If you answer the food quiz correctly, you get a free ingredient.
* Visiting a Friend’s restaurant for the first time (Get clicking!)

How can I gain GP (Gourmet points) faster?
Simple. Keep your browser on! Just leave your restaurant city on, even if you’re not playing. This way, you’ll be sure to gain those extra points which you cannot get while you’re offline. This is also useful if you want to gain level faster.

Keep your employees happy!
Feed them or let them rest. If only they have natural appetite suppressant, so it can suppress their appetite, burn fat and increase their energy output. Remember: Higher happiness = More productivity.

Ways to gain more coins
Get quick coins by picking up trash and shaking trees. While you’re in restaurant view, scroll around your lot. Click all the trees you see because they sometimes drop coins. You aren’t guaranteed a coin every time you do it but it is still an easy way to gain some coins.

Focus on one recipe
Restrain yourself from leveling up lots of recipes art once. Your restaurant can only serve one dish from each category (appetizer, main course & dessert) at a time. So, choose one recipe, click to make sure it’s the recipe being served, and level that up. The higher the level, the more reputation you gain per customer. Make use of the trading feature in Restaurant city!

Meal level to thumbs up conversion
Level 1 = +1.0
Level 2 = +1.2
Level 3 = +1.4
Level 4 = +1.6
Level 5 = +1.8
Level 6 = +2.0
Level 7 = +2.2
Level 8 = +2.4
Level 9 = +2.6
Level10 = +2.8

Make your layout more efficient
As much as possible, avoid too much space between the waiters and the tables. Fix your table layout so that your waiter doesn’t have to walk far to serve your tables.

For the table ratio, I go for 3:1. It means 3 tables per 1 cook. Then 1-2 waiters per 3 cooks.

Prioritize more cooks over waiters.

Play in lower quality
There’s a button on the top left corner of the game which allows you to adjust the game quality. Changing your quality to low makes the game run much faster, hence each customer visit goes faster = more cash.

Create waiting chairs
Waiting chair is a feature which allows you to increase the time in which a customer waits before leaving. This is useful as every customer who leaves disgruntled results in a decrease of your restaurant’s reputation. To make waiting chairs, read the following tips for higher success rate.

* Don’t place the waiting chairs next to the door
* Don’t place too many chairs.
* Place one or two arcade machines to keep your customers entertained for a bit longer.

Make a maze
If your waiters are struggling to clear the dishes in time for new customers then make a maze. This increases the time the customer takes to reach the table and the table should have already been cleared by the time the customer reaches it.

Close your Restaurant
If you can’t login for a long time, you may close your restaurant by blocking the door with something like a chair, table or your mailbox. Or you can just remove the door itself.

Warning: Restaurant City is very addicting. LOL …

All costs of war in Iraq for USA

So far, the war in Iraq costs America more than 2 trillion. dollars and this amount continues to grow every day. A separate debate is needed to understand how much that amount. In this article we will try to break down these costs by their nature and origin:

Human costs.
The reason for starting the costs fairly straight forward. Human irretrievable loss, and they never can be monetized. To date the article was written, the war in Iraq has claimed the lives of 4,323 U.S. military personnel. The number of wounded in action or wounded in combat zones of the accident reached 31,368.



Given the frequency of the battles that U.S. forces are currently exposed to this number, obviously, is not final. In addition, the fee data were compiled from official statistics submitted to the Pentagon, which was widely criticized by the public to an underestimation of the real victims. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs - Department of the autonomous government of the Pentagon - the number of wounded has exceeded 50000.
Combat operations costs.
To date, $ 686 billion dollars were allocated for the war in Iraq since its inception in March 2003 to cover daily cash costs of combat operations, food, housing, transportation and supply of U.S. troops, the cost for the renovation, repair and replacement parts and training Iraqi forces. The amount of $ 200,000,000 is growing! every day, so that by the time you finish reading this article, it will grow by about half a million dollars! This trend will not be affected by major changes, at least until the end of 2009 in general expenses were approved in 2009 budget. Given that Obama has already announced the reduction and eventual withdrawal of troops from Iraq, it is possible to estimate roughly 130 billion rubles. still to come, provided that all soldiers will be withdrawn in 1,5-2 years. This gives a total of 816 billion rubles. U.S. direct expenditures, the costs of the war in Iraq. It also includes payment of $ 500,000 in death benefit payments, and life insurance to the families of those killed in Iraq.

Medical expenses.
These include all costs for treatment of medical problems in personnel, such as the explosion wounded arms and legs from improvised explosive devices, the historically high instances of traumatic brain damage, post-traumatic stress disorder. The group said doctors had predicted that the health of Iraq veterans could top $ 650 billion. We can also rely on data for veterans disability payments. For example, a veteran without a spouse or family that are 100 per cent of people with disabilities receive about $ 2400 a month by the Government. For 50 years, which could total more than 1.4 million dollars. Multiplying that number of disabled veterans will be added fully 10-15 billion dollars more. In addition, an increasing number of soldiers are not seeking care, they need that affects their ability to retain jobs, and that ultimately leads to higher costs invisible.

Military expenditure replenishment.
War in Iraq stretched the U.S. military dangerously thin. High levels of losses, more than half a decade has undermined the "human capital" of armed forces. Using the current difficulties in the recruitment of America will have to invest significant resources in troops to restore their pre-war level of strength, fitness and readiness. In addition, it may take more than a decade to fully recharge, and repair of military equipment and technology which have been significantly depleted by the war. Estimates show that over fifteen years of the military would need $ -375 $ 250 billion for the reconstruction of the entire armed forces.

The economic costs.
There are many economic costs surrounding the war in Iraq. First, there is the cost of deployment in Iraq, 40% of National Guard and reserve forces. Quantitative economic costs, it is the difference between civilian salary and that they would receive in their regular work and lower wages, they are usually paid in the reserves. Another economic costs of war victims. It is the individual income and their contribution to the economy in advance due to their death. Here also is the economic cost of these serious injuries, which includes the additional medical expenses, which the parties hold themselves apart from the fact that the government pays and the loss of economic services. Taking Stiglitz estimates made in 2006, and extrapolating its figures until today, we will receive approximately 200 billion dollars in economic costs that the U.S. incurred in connection with the war in Iraq.

Unrecorded expenses.
Now let's try to list the expenses that are obvious, but not quantifiable. Consider security. The war in Iraq, and, incidentally, the general instability in the Middle East has exacerbated the hatred toward the U.S. throughout the world. This, in turn, exacerbated the domestic threat of terror and made Americans less safe clearly and confidently. Of course, there are many negative consequences of this war they can not comprehend. Below is just a brief list of costs included higher ratings:
* All costs borne by other countries, including Iraq.
* The cost of planning the war.
* Prices for oil price volatility.
* The effects of loss of confidence
* Reduced demand due to anti-American sentiments (eg, loss of tourists)

Why Pakistan was ignored ?... India and China invited by President.Obama to attend the Annual G-8 Summit 2009 at Italy?

Fleshy bones thrown in the direction of India in the United States. In the recent events and developments in the relations between them, clearly confirms that the U.S. is appeasing India.


Generous and the extreme importance of United States extends to India, and over its strongest ally of Pakistan in the war against terror. For example, the civilian nuclear agreement, the invitation to India and China to participate in the exclusive G-8 Summit 2009 (ignoring Pakistan) held this month in Italy, the United States distancing from the Kashmir issue, describing it as a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan, not least the planned upcoming visit of Mrs. Hillary Clinton, U.S. Secretary of State in order to strengthen bilateral relations, describing India as a major developing countries in the world.


However, the fact that I do not understand this policy of inviting China together with India, President. Obama, while ignoring Pakistan. In addition, it makes me whether the war on terror is not a priority at G-8 members?. He has not been listed on the agenda of the 2009 Summit of the G-!

I have attached below a letter to the editor published in the daily newspaper Dawn in Pakistan, the provincial Minister of Culture and Tourism of Sindh, to express its concern at the fact that I told above about the G-8 Summit 2009.

/ / G-8 summit ignores Pakistan

Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | 02:07 AM PST
Each year, three-day summit of the Group of Eight leading industrialized countries was held recently in the area devastated by an earthquake less than 100 days ago. President Barrack Obama has invited colleagues from China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Mexico and other countries to it.

G-8 Summit is a great challenge to world leaders to address economic issues, the fight against hunger in the world and solve the problem of climate change, after last year's global financial crisis.

G-8 talks traditionally unite eight major countries: Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia and the United States. At the same time, the recent summit was expanded to include emerging powers such as China and India. In the talks also focused on the emerging political crisis in China's Xinjiang region, Iran and Honduras.

We know that the G-8 countries have suffered severe economic decline following the credit crisis in the United States, which quickly dragged world in its worst recession since the early 1930-ies. While I agree that climate change is an important issue as well and had to decide what can be said about the endless war on terror and war, as the situation that our country faces in the various fields. As a result of the turbulent situation, Pakistan is facing serious economic problems, but he was not even invited to the summit to discuss these.

Recently I read an article co-authored with Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, and Luix Inla da Silva, President of Brazil, published in The New York Times. In this article, they talked about various global problems, but there is no mention of "terrorism", which allows you to wonder how they forgot to mention it as it is the most serious threats and challenges.

Then I came to learn about the G-8 on the agenda of the Summit, and I was very disappointed to learn that there is no mention of Pakistan in any place. I think, and I am sure that other people will agree with me that "terror" should have been at the summit agenda.

Many believe that the response of the U.S. administration against terrorism was a general in line with the concept of its own national interests, national prestige and power, and international positions.

Today, the Pakistani people to ask about their security and national interests. We do not want them to think that they are used as tissue paper, and nobody cares about the dignity, welfare and safety.

Our people believe that nothing can justify the continued drone attacks. But if the G-8 countries have no justification, then Pakistan should be included in the agenda of the summit.

There is a growing feeling among the defenders, who, despite the current global challenges and threats created by terrorists, human rights for all people, especially the poor and the weak must be protected.

Needless to say that terrorism as a tool of destabilization, both within and between nations, has become the biggest threat that must be properly as soon as possible.

I would like to stress that the G-8 and other First World countries should understand that Pakistan has lost a lot in this "war on terror." Our people, especially leaders like Benazir Bhutto, have made so many victims in this fight. I firmly believe that Pakistan should be a priority when planning for such international summits in the future.

SASSUI PALIJO
Minister of Culture and Tourism
The Government of Sindh Karachi / /

The issue of Pakistan, ignoring rising not only because the agenda didn't include in the war on terror, but also that Pakistan is as important country in South Asia, probably longer because front-line ally in the war against terror, but also a nuclear state, such as two other new invitees.It is a known fact that Pakistan and India have traditionally been, and not on good relations, and keeping the hosts inview should be realized that by offering one another can not send a message or not Vibes on one ignored.The confidence deficit could be even damaged.Thus in fairness, if India was invited to it, Pakistan should have!

BACK AND FORTH IN IRAN

Persia was the name of Iran in ancient times.

Today it is known as the Islamic Republic of Iran led by its leader clergy.

In a country with its capital, Tehran is situated between the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf, and consists of a central plateau surrounded by mountains.

The Islamic Republic was born 30 years ago on 1 April 1979.

In a country in ancient times, and culture is one of the largest oil-producing regions, the Middle East.

It seems that Iran owns 7.5 percent of total world oil reserves and 15 percent of world gas reserves.

India and Pakistan are interested to receive gas from Iran through a pipeline.

I do not know what happened to the big pipe project is lying.

After the fall and the dissolution of Iraq, neighboring countries, Iran is in the news because of his tough President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's dictatorial government.

Ahmadinejad is a staunch supporter of his own ideas and deadly against the Americans.

Iran's nuclear policy would be not very good for the American government and its allies.


Even if the Bush administration has not been so well and with Obama.

At the last election, Ahmadinejad stated that he had received more than 60 percent of the votes and won the election.

But the majority of world supports Iran Hossein Mousavi, the opposition candidates, which is relatively soft, not for recognition of the election verdict.

They believe that Ahmadinejad was a fraud.

There is a big fight after the election takes place between the two groups.

Moussaoui appealed the election results.

Moussaoui Supporters Protest in Tehran say that it is a 'stolen election. "

Ignoring election, according to Moussaoui, Ahmadinejad said his country will continue to play an important international role in the coming days.

During the first press conference held after his re-election, he noted that the election of a football match played by two teams, and the loser should just let it go.

Logically, he is right, but why the confusion after the election?

If the elections were free and fair, it makes no sense to criticize the validity of the election.

This is unfair elections in Iran?

If so, that is the point of protest by the Iranians.

I could see a huge crowd in television assembly in Tehran to protest against the electoral victory of Ahmadinejad.

The integrity of the election being questioned in connection with the deliberate closure of SMS services throughout Iran, and an incredibly low voices of reformist leader Musawi, in his hometown of Tabriz.

If the question Moussaoui and his supporters will be successful?

If yes, how?

Or there should be a revolution to overthrow the elected government of Ahmadinejad.

There is an element of external support from the United States and Britain in the Moussaoui.

Americans and Britons do not want to see Ahmadinejad once again in power, because its confrontationist attitude and insist on making Iran a nuclear power.

The international influence on Iran to overthrow Ahmadinejad, obviously, expected.

Only time will tell us the future of Iran.

In street battles shook Tehran.

Seven people lost their lives in the fire.

In addition, the government organized a huge rally in central Tehran.

Witnessed the two sides fighting in the streets, Aytollah Ali Khamenei, for the Supervisory Board to declare June 16, 2009 that it was ready to move forward on the recount of disputed ballot boxes.

But the news was wrong.

What else can they do?

Jun 19, 2009 Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamnei strongly endorsed the results of disputed presidential election and warned the protesters to keep out of the street.

His reasoning that the margin of victory in favor of Ahmadinejad suggests that counterfeiting is not possible.

But Mir Hossein Mousavi MahmoudAhmadinejad accused of lying about the economy of Iran said, "We are against the person who said black is white, and four times four equals five. He looks into the camera and is self-confidence."

Ahmadinejad, at the same time said that Moussaoui and other competitors should be in jail for their comments. He added: "Nobody has the right to insult the president"

This is the fate of Iran at the present time.

Let's wait for a better future for Iran.
