Indian Markets hits record close in Diwali trade

Sunday, November 7, 2010

The Indian stock market ended at an all time high on the Diwali 60-minute Special trading session on Friday. Diwali trading is arranged every year on the festival of Diwali to pay obeisance to Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity; it is also seen as welcoming the New Year of the Samvat calendar. The Samvat calendar is 56.7 years ahead (in count) of the solar Gregorian calendar.

The benchmark 30-share Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitivity Index, Sensex, rose 0.53% or 111.39 points to a record close of 21,004.96. Sensex closes above 21k pts for the first-time in its 135 years history.

Indian markets have attracted about USD 26.74 billion this year of investment from foreign institutional investors. The sale of a 10% stake in Kolkata-based Coal India last month was the biggest share sale in Indian history and banked the government 3.4 billion dollars. Coal India has risen 43 percent since listing at the stock exchanges this week.

According to Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala “This will continue for long periods of time. If you look at India we are 3% to 4% of world GDP, we are not even 0.5% of USD 30 to USD 35 trillion in the investment of institutions worldwide in equities. Our share is USD 250 billion, USD 200 billion may be and it could go up to USD 1 trillion. So I see no reason why money will not come. Don’t forget one thing that India is an open country. Indian companies have return on equity. Among the emerging markets we have the best corporate governance. We are well regulated; we have got good trading systems. Why will the money not come you tell me?” Mr.Rakesh Jhunjhunwala is tagged by the media as “India’s Warren Buffett”.

MediaCorp Radio in Singapore has been fined 15,000 Singaporean dollars (US$9,800) over an on-air stunt in March in which female guests on a radio show were asked to remove their brassieres, and pose for video that was to be posted on the station’s website and on YouTube.

The Media Development Authority said the radio show’s hosts made improper and sexually suggestive remarks about “how fast the bras were removed, as well as the color, design and cup size of the bras, and the size of the girls’ breasts.”

Researchers at University of Malaya say they have developed an erectile dysfunction cure from walnut extract.

“It takes about an hour for the effects to set in and it will last for about four hours,” said Professor Dr. Kim Kah Hwi of the Faculty of Medicine Physiology.

So far, 40 volunteers have tried the Viagra alternative, called “N-Hanz”, with positive results, Kim said. To make one pill, it takes about 3.3 kilograms (about 7 pounds) of walnuts.

An 8-year-old Indonesian boy died after being attacked on Saturday by a Komodo Dragon at Komodo National Park on Komodo.

The boy was attacked while making a toilet stop in a bush, a park official said. “The dragon bit his waist, tossed him and dragged him. His right leg was badly scratched,” park spokesman Heru Rudiharto said. The boy then bled to death.

Attacks by Dragons on humans are rare, though the reptiles, which can grow to a length of 3 meters (9 feet), regularly kill such prey as pigs and small deer. Komodo Dragons are an endangered and protected species, and about 2,000 of them live in the wild, mainly on Komodo and nearby Rinca island.

Should I Call My Exboyfriend If He Hasn’t Called Me?}

Filed under: Real Estate — @ 1:47 am, .

Submitted by: Anthony Malibu

Getting your ex boyfriend back can be scary and frustrating. You might not know how he feels about you, and may question whether or not he even wants to date you again. In an effort to win him over, you’ll worry about when and how you should be making contact, as well as what you should say when you talk to your ex again. If your ex hasn’t called yet, here’s what you should know.

Breakups are always different, but the reconciliation process always starts the same way: re-establishing contact with your ex boyfriend. Should you contact your ex? How long should you wait? And are there ways of getting him to dial you up first? Many women are faced with the same problem after a breakup: My ex boyfriend hasn’t called me. This is invariably followed up with the same question: Should I call him?

Before worrying about whether or not you should get in touch with your ex, you’ll first need to establish a situation in which your boyfriend misses you. When he actually wants to hear from you again, the results of your exboyfriend contact will be much more favorable. There are two things you need to do before even considering making such a phone call, and they’re listed below:

Create The Illusion That You’re Totally Over The Relationship

Chasing after your boyfriend? He’s never going to want you back. It’s human nature to want the things we can’t have, so the minute your ex thinks you’re walking away from the relationship… this is also the exact moment he considers being with you again. Sound strange? In a way it is. But when you’re always hounding your ex and trying to get him to change his mind about breaking up with you, he knows that he can have you back at any time. While he knows this, he’s going to keep you on the back burner… while he enjoys single life.

If you want your boyfriend back, you can’t show it. Don’t write him love notes or leave cards on his windshield… don’t even let him know you’re sweating him. By walking cleanly away from the romance, you’re giving the impression that you have better things to do. Many women are worried that not showing an interest in your ex boyfriend will cause him to not show any future interest in you, but in actuality the opposite effect takes place. The more you ignore someone? The more they need to know

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX5G5AmGmh0[/youtube]

why

. The more you don’t seem like you need them, the more they need you.

Instead of sitting around wondering why my ex boyfriend hasn’t called me, you should be creating an atmosphere in which

he needs to call you

. By staying strong after the break up is a critical part of getting your ex back. Let him know you’ve accepted the breakup. Hell, make it known that you’ve even

embraced

it. Allow him to hear about how thrilled you are to be single again – through friends or family or co-workers… however you have to do it. Because once he gets that impression, you’ll become a hell of a lot more attractive to him again.

Surround Your New Life in Mystery by Breaking All Contact

Establishing that you’ve moved on is made all the more effective when you’ve completely stopped talking to your ex. Instead of asking yourself when should I call him, you should be wondering when is my ex boyfriend going to call me! The no contact rule means just that – no communication with your ex in any way, shape, or form. Don’t email your exboyfriend thinking it’s okay. Don’t send him even one little text-message, not even to wish him happy birthday. When you first break up, staying completely silent is the only way to get your ex interested in what you’re doing again. Because while you’re still around in plain view? You’re actually prolonging the break up.

When you’ve stopped communicating with your ex boyfriend, guess what happens? Your ex will start to miss you. He’ll start thinking that you’ve moved on to bigger and better things, and chances are good that his situation has stood still. This will cause him to question the breakup, and maybe even want to call it off. His decision to end things doesn’t look so good when he realizes you’re not chasing after him or trying to get him back, but that in fact you’ve moved on to the point where you’re not even talking to him anymore.

Getting Your Exboyfriend To Call You After The Breakup

After getting dumped, it’s not uncommon to struggle with the question of initiating contact. Should I call him? How long should I wait before calling or texting him? Making the mistake of chasing your boyfriend down can actually scare him away for good. Guys feel strange and awkward after breaking up with you, which is why they want to be left alone for a little while. Unfortunately, this is when many girls feel the pressing need to try the hardest, thinking they can somehow change their exboyfriend’s mind.

If you’re sitting by the phone wondering why my ex boyfriend hasn’t called me yet, it’s because he needs some space. Wondering if you should call him yourself is not a good idea. That being said, eventually you’ll have to somehow get back in touch… just not right now. In order to get back together with your ex, you’ll need to reconnect – and you’ll want to make sure you do it at the right time.

The best type of reconnection? One in which you get your ex boyfriend to call you. There are several methods you can use to accomplish this, and there are some really great techniques for making him curious about you again. Your goal is to put yourself back in your ex’s head, but to do it indirectly so you don’t seem like you’re trying too hard. Also, by making him genuinely need to know what you’re up to, you can get him to initiate contact by phone, email, text-message, or whatever.

Haunted attractions in Texas prepare for 2013 Halloween season

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:36 am, .

Thursday, September 12, 2013

With Halloween approaching, numerous haunted attractions all over Texas are preparing for the big “haunt” season. Directors and staff of such attractions must invest significant time preparing their buildings; such efforts gear up significantly during September. Wikinews caught up with some owners of these attractions to learn more about the hard work it takes to prepare for opening night.

Terror Nights, an attraction in Tyler, opens for the season on September 27. Ryan Laepple, owner and director of the haunt, states he’s currently involved in “a blur of safety inspections, auditions, actor training, and last but not least event advertising.” Laepple went on to say he stays “pretty busy until the show opens on the 27th and then things calm down some. As long as not too many things in the haunt break at once.” Dean Jarnig, the director of Zombie Manor in Arlington, said he and staff have recently been spraying flame-retardant chemicals and installing new lights. Jarnig also stated he and staff are working on a promotional video for their attraction, which opens on Friday September 13.

Hangman’s House of Horrors in Fort Worth is celebrating both its twenty fifth anniversary and final operational year. Some individuals who act in these attractions refer to their fellow actors as extended family. This year, some sources have even encouraged holiday job seekers to consider working at a haunted attraction to earn money. One whimsically listed the job’s benefits as “[…] free uniforms, a complimentary hair and makeup consultation and make-over, inspirational background music, plenty of on-the-job exercise opportunities and more.” Long a staple in American culture, “Haunted Houses”, as they’re commonly called, range in size from small garage-sized projects, up to multi floor buildings outfitted with the most elaborate of lighting and special effects.

Two large earthquakes rattle Japan, Russia

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:35 am, .

Thursday, July 24, 2008

Two large earthquakes have shaken areas of Japan and Russia within 11 hours.

Before dawn on Thursday, at 0:26 local time, a strong earthquake jolted eastern Japan. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that its moment magnitude was at 6.8 and that its epicenter was 30 km (20 miles) east-northeast of Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, 485 km (300 miles) north-northeast of Tokyo, also where its tremor was observed.

Japan’s Fire and Disaster Management Agency announced that as of Friday noon, 158 were confirmed injured, no one dead or missing, and 63 houses were confirmed partly destroyed. Government officials are en route to the area to assess further damage. According to Japan Meteorological Agency, this quake arose 108 km (65 miles) under the ground in the Pacific side of Iwate Prefecture. The focus must be inside the Pacific Plate which subducts the land plate. There was no fear of tsunami, and no major aftershock was observed by Thursday noon.

In Russia’s Kuril Islands, which also felt the Japan’s quake, there occurred another large earthquake on Thursday afternoon, at 14:43 local time. The USGS estimated its moment magnitude was at 6.4 and its epicenter was 240 km (150 miles) south-southwest of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy.

ITAR-TASS reported that there were no casualties or destruction or tsunami threat by Thursday evening.

Canadian government settles lawsuit over children ‘scooped’ out of indigenous communities

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:25 am, .

Saturday, October 7, 2017

The Canadian federal government of Justin Trudeau yesterday responded to a group of lawsuits by agreeing to pay C$750 million to the survivors of the “Sixties Scoop” program, in which 20,000 First Nations children were removed from their parents’ households and placed with non-indigenous foster or adoptive parents. The plaintiffs claimed that this caused them mental and emotional problems, in addition to the loss of their ancestral culture. Carolyn Bennett, Canada’s Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister, announced the agreement.

“I have great hope that because we’ve reached this plateau, this will never, ever happen in Canada again,” Marcia Brown Martel, now Chief of the Beaverhouse First Nation, said of the decision. Martel was removed from her home as many as ten times before 1972. She and her sister were among the original plaintiffs. From the 1960s to 1980s, some of the children were sent out of the country to the United States, Europe or New Zealand. Some of the plaintiffs say they were abused by their foster families and others do not. A separate settlement has been offered to the 150,000 children who were instead sent to institutions, such as boarding schools.

“There is also no dispute about the fact that great harm was done,” wrote Ontario Supreme Court Justice Edward P. Belobaba in a preliminary decision in February. “The ‘scooped’ children lost contact with their families. They lost their aboriginal language, culture and identity. Neither the children nor their foster or adoptive parents were given information about the children’s aboriginal heritage or about the various educational and other benefits that they were entitled to receive. The removed children vanished ‘with scarcely a trace.’?” He did concede that the founders of the program meant well, but major sources agree it was subject to considerable culture clash, with social workers removing children from situations that were later found not to be abusive or neglectful.

According to a lawyer for some of the plaintiffs, Jeffrey Wilson, this is the first time anyone has argued that the loss of a cultural identity in a lawsuit in a Western country: “No First Nations case yet to this day has asked the question as to whether or not the loss of identity is an actionable wrong. Aboriginal title to property has been litigated, aboriginal title to identity has not,” he told the The Guardian.

The First Nations people make up approximately four percent of Canada’s population, at about 1.4 million people, and they suffer disproportionately from poverty, violence, addiction and crime.

Canada is not the only country where native children were taken away from their families. From 1910 to 1970, the Australian government collected Aboriginal children, who came to be called the Stolen Generations, and relocated them to schools and other institutions far from their communities. In 1978, the United States passed the Indian Child Welfare Act to curtail similar actions toward Native American children.

Manitoba was the first of Canada’s provinces to apologize for the scoop program, in 2015. The federal government has also announced plans to make a public apology.

New industrial area to be created in Arad county, Romania

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:14 am, .

Wednesday, April 13, 2005The local government of Arad County in western Romania today launched a project calling for the creation of a new industrial area in the commune of Zimandul Nou. They have already allocated 0.3 km² for this project, with more land being expected to be allocated for the industrial precinct.

The president of Arad Couty Council, Iosif Matula, says that the labour force in the area is qualified in industrial occupations, especially in the fields of textiles, furniture, electronics and tools industries. The site also already has all the necessary infrastructure, such as gas, access to sewage and a water purifying facility.

The industrial area will be located on the outskirts of the Zimandul Nou commune, which is a fairly small, rural town. The proposed Zimandul Nou industrial area is one of the latest development projects by the Arad County Council, which has, since a few years ago, embarked on a fairly wide-ranging project of attracting foreign investment and developing further industry in rural areas.

The county capital, Arad, with a population of nearly 190,000, is one of Romania’s largest industrial centres and is a major centre for foreign investment, but the county council would like to see more industry heading to the rural areas. The Zimandul Nou precinct will be the eighth industrial zone in a formerly-rural area in the county. The other seven areas have already attracted combined foreign investments of over 120 million euro.

Andrea Muizelaar on fashion, anorexia, and life after ‘Top Model’

Filed under: Uncategorized — @ 1:03 am, .

Monday, November 26, 2007

In the 18 months since Andrea Muizelaar was crowned winner of the reality TV series Canada’s Next Top Model, her life has been a complete whirlwind. From working in a dollar store in her hometown of Whitby, Ontario, to modeling haute couture in Toronto, she had reached her dream of becoming a true Top Model.

But at what cost? Unknown to casual television viewers, Muizelaar had been enveloped in the eating disorder anorexia nervosa, which inevitably became too much for her to bear. She gave up modeling and moved back to Whitby, where she sought treatment for her disorder, re-entered college, and now works at a bank. Where is she now? Happy and healthy, she says.

Recently Andrea Muizelaar sat down with Wikinews reporter Mike Halterman in a candid interview that stretched to nearly two hours, as she told all about her hopes and aspirations, her battle with anorexia, and just what really happened on Canada’s Next Top Model.

Post Nasal Drip What Works For Me

Filed under: Skin Care — @ 3:18 pm, May 6, 2018.

By Walter Ballenberger

Postnasal drip is an unscientific term that refers to the sensation of thick phlegm in the throat which can become infected. So says Dr. Murray Grossan in his book The Sinus Cure, 7 Simple Steps. He goes on to explain that this is caused when our cilia-mucous system is not functioning properly and how pulsating nasal irrigation can help correct this situation.

It has been several years since Ive felt the pain and discomfort of a severe sore throat caused by post nasal drip. I have been using the pulsating nasal irrigation system since then and have been free of the process that led me into colds and sinus infections. Looking back, even into my childhood, the sequence went like this:

– A little tickle in the throat appears lasting a day or two.

– A more serious sore throat caused by post nasal drip begins.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t25IaYM7fU8[/youtube]

– Onset of a cold with lots of congestion and blockage, runny nose and eyes.

– Onset of a sinus infection and the associated deep headaches and pain in my upper nasal cavities and around the eyes.

– A course of antibiotics for 10 days to two weeks.

Even now there are occasions when I start to feel the familiar old tickle that begins the process. This is a dangerous warning sign, and I will do several things including additional nasal irrigation (at least twice or even three times per day), and I will also take 5 mg. of prednisone. Sometimes in order to fight off the coming attack, Ill need to take the prednisone for two or three days. This is in addition to taking flonase before going to bed, and possibly zyrtec, which is an antihistamine. Prednisone is a steroid and can have serious side effects if too much is taken. However, it does open up sinus cavities so they can drain properly, and the above amounts are not too much to cause problems, according to my ENT specialist.

In almost every case over the past 5 years or so, the above procedure has prevented the old sequence of events that led to a sinus infection. When I was very young I used to say, when I get a cold, its a doozy. Little did I know that I was experiencing sinus infections. A normal cold only lasts 5 days to a week or so, but my colds would last 10 days or sometimes two weeks, and they were difficult to deal with. My nose and eyes would run so much I could only lie in bed with my eyes closed for days.

If the above scenario sounds familiar, I highly suggest using the pulsating nasal irrigation process on a daily basis, and to follow the above procedure if you start to feel the ominous tickle in your throat.

It is normal for mucus to run down the back of ones throat as part of the normal cilia-mucous system functionality. Generally this is not even noticed. But when it becomes thick, sticky, and starts to cause pain, it is obvious that post nasal drip has made itself evident. It should be noted as well that the thick phlegm is often infected since it is just sitting there and pooling up in your nose and throat. This obviously exacerbates the post nasal drip problem, so clearing this out with nasal irrigation is even more important.
