Fascinating World Events

Posted by Henry on May 24th, 2010

I have always been fascinated about news in magazines, newspapers, television and just recently, news online. I have always wanted to update myself with the many things that happen around the world. One day, when I was surfing the internet, I came across this website which was very unique. World Current Events to the perspective of Biblical Prophecy - and there I thought, something new.

There was one topic there about the U.S. debt. It concerns me a lot because as a citizen of this country, I needed an in-depth analysis of this situation. The news provided me a summary of the wide picture of what was actually happening. After reading the news, I began to draft my financial plan seriously since nobody knows what will really happen in the future. This financial mess that we are into as country was a disappointment at time because we thought an Obama presidency will help improve but Obama cannot do it alone and as a citizen, I should go beyond that.

The world is looking at America as a strong nation, sometimes, the strongest nation at that. But America’s vulnerability has been open to the world these past few years after September 11 terrorist attacks. We couldn’t help but wonder as a nation when are we going to move up from this financial dilemma. That is why I always make myself informed - I want to be updated and ready.

Homeschooling Is Better Than Day Schools

Posted by Henry on February 18th, 2009

Homeschooling is at times considered better than the traditional day schools. The reason is pretty obvious- day schools tire out children easily. When kids learn at home, they tend to learn faster and get a practical experience of all the stuff that they learn. There are times when kids are afraid or shy to question their teachers. Home schools could do miracles in such cases. Homeschooling doesn’t need any dress code. Your child can feel homely and learn with all comfort. Kid’s clothes doesn’t matter in homeschooling.

Often, young minds are attacked by big bullies at day schools. It becomes impossible for teachers to look after the kids individually in such cases. This is another reason why you should consider home schooling. While getting all the care, you child learns and not only touches the realities of the lessons but becomes smarter by day. A good option would be to start up a school at your own place! This could be a great way for you to interact with parents who have children of your kid’s age and for your kid to socialize.

A marriage counseling alternative that would really work for you

Posted by Henry on October 21st, 2008

When one of the partners becomes cold and indifferent to the other, it is evident that the marriage is at a crucial juncture and probably running the risk of an untimely death. One of you who is more interested in saving the relationship will obviously run to find out some remedial measures like the marriage counseling.

But what if the marriage counseling does not work even after months together of efforts put in by the counselor and you? Does it mean that you have exhausted all the avenues of saving your marriage from the possible disaster?

The answer is “no”. There is a way out and that way out could be much better than the traditional form of marriage counseling. In fact a marriage counseling alternative could really work for you.

Alternative method that works for restoring your relationship will bring you closer to each other. Your partner who was till now rigid and not opening up to the marriage counseling will now start opening up to you much quicker.

The reason is that in traditional marriage counseling you will be discussing the past. While in the alternative method you will shelve it and look forward to the future where you can be better off and how you could possibly get back a decent relationship and environment at home. The trade off is between past and future, and negative and positive.

Christmas round the world - Traditional celebrations

Posted by Henry on March 10th, 2008

If there is a birthday that the whole world celebrates probably this is it – the birthday of Jesus Christ. It is truly wonderful that every one in the world enjoys celebrating Christmas irrespective of color caste and creed. Let us see some of the unique celebrations in places around the world.

In Africa, one of the unique features of their Christmas worship service is the love offering, a birthday gift for Jesus. Each of the worshippers walks to the pulpit and gives their birthday gift and not one of them goes back without gifting something. The offering is used to help the poor and needy. On the eve of Christmas, children walk the streets singing Christmas Carols and proclaiming that Jesus Christ is coming. On Christmas evening, people flock to churches decorated with Christmas trees or palm trees and carols are sun and nativity plays are presented.

In Alaska the traditions are almost the same with Christmas carols and Santa visiting on Christmas Eve. Carolers are invited to homes and provided with maple-frosted doughnuts, cookies, candy or fish pie, and even smoked salmon. The most familiar songs include Aleut words Gristuusaaq suu’uq, or Christ is born and the family joins with the choir saying Mnogaya leta, or May God give you a long life.

In Bethlehem the town the birthplace of Jesus is the site of the Church of the Nativity, decorated with flags and lights every Christmas. Bethlehem is a crowded place during Christmas and the wonderful annual Christmas procession is a treat to the eyes. Horsemen and policemen lead the parade followed by individual horseman carrying a cross, then come the priests and government officials. The procession walks the streets of Bethlehem, and then enters the church to place an ancient effigy of the Christ child. Once you walk through winding stairs you reach the place where Jesus was born.

A popular Mexican celebration is called La Posada, which is a procession that shows how Mary and Joseph were searching for a place where Jesus would be born. The celebrants go from house to house with images of Mary and Joseph looking for shelter. Santa is not very prominent here but their Christmas flower is very special it is the poinsettia. The common belief is that a boy wanted to gift Jesus and so he took some braches and placed them near the manger and found bright red flowers blooming what were just plain branches. Other common traditions are breaking the piñata for children to get their Christmas gift and also children who are really good get a gift from the three wise men.

In Lebanon and the Middle East people plant seeds which could be chickpeas, wheat grains, lentils in cotton wool. These seeds are watered and by Christmas they have plants about 6 inches in height that they use to surround the manger in nativity scenes.

Christmas is celebrated all over the world with fervor and enjoyment. But do not let all these festivities make your forget the Christ of Christmas…his life, his example, his love and may we live life anew.

Prime Non-Vegetarian Indian food - Mutton Biriyani

Posted by Henry on November 22nd, 2007

One of the most favored food articles in a non-vegetarian Indian Cuisine is mutton biriyani. Biriyani is a preparation that blends mughlai and south Indian food culture together. Ordinarily it is prepared with Basmati rice, meat, curd, onions, spices, and lemon, saffron, and coriander leaves. The prepared dish is one for parties and celebrative occasions.

There are two types of biriyanis in Indian Recipes. One is Kachchi biriyani that means raw biriyani and the other is Pakki biriyani which refers to well prepared biriyani. It goes without saying that the later is more favored and flavored item of the two. Kachchi biriyani is prepared with raw meat later marinated in curd and cooked with rice by sealing the pot with a layer of dough. The cooking is done on dum – the steaming over coal. But you have to calculate the time and degree of heat very carefully or else the end product may suffer from undercooking or overcooking.

Pakki biriyani, one of the favored India Recipes and is prepared using cooked meat and then cooking again putting the meat between arranged layers of rice in a dough sealed vessel. Sometimes the biriyani is pre-cooked and gravy is introduced later.

Since the south Indians and some others do not favor mutton biriyani, a vegetarian version called Pullao has been included in the South Indian Recipes by innovative cooks. The way of preparation is identical to biriyani but no non-vegetarian component is used here.
