BBC - Religion & Ethics - Ramadan: Health advice Advice on diet During years where Ramadan falls in the winter, and the long hot days of the summer a mere distant memory, most of the health problems are likely to arise from inappropriate diet, over-eating and insufficient sleep. Firstly, there is no need to consume excess food at Iftar (the food eaten immediately after sunset to break the fast), dinner or Sahur (the light meal generally eaten about half an hour to one hour before dawn). The reasons for this are two-fold. Firstly and most importantly such a lifestyle contradicts the principal aims and spirit of Ramadan. A learned scholar once said that "There is no receptacle more odious to God, than a belly stuffed full of food after a fast" and therefore "of what use is the Fast as a means of conquering God's enemy and abating appetite, if at the time of breaking it one not only makes up for all one has missed during the daytime, but perhaps also indulges in a v...

The melody of the song was inspired by a local Beijing ballad called "Shui Niu", which are snails that come out on rainy days. Children in Beijing like to sing songs to attract these little creatures to come out of their shells.

Only female athlete from Iraq. She is a real hero, who come from war torn country. Olympic "superlatives" to be remembered_English_Xinhua Dana Abdulrazak - most heroic runner Photo taken on Aug. 21, 2008 shows Iraqi athlete Dana Hussein Abdulrazak hold a Chinese knot in Beijing, China. Iraqi women runner Dana Abdul-Razzaq has received as loud applause as champions.

When her coach consoled her by saying that she could take part in the 2012 Olympics, she broke into tears, "who knows if I could live that long!"

Mr. Boris is impressed very much with Beijing Olympics so I'm. This olympics will be remember for many years to come. AFP: London 'blown away' by Beijing Olympics: Boris Speaking in Beijing, where the Olympic flag will be formally passed to him at Sunday's closing ceremony, Johnson said the huge spectacle of this year's event was an inspiration to London organisers. "I think I speak for millions of people in the UK, when I say we have been dazzled, we have impressed, we have been blown away by these Beijing Games but we have not been intimidated," he told reporters. "And in our own sweet way, without wasting taxpayers money, I am absolutely convinced that we can do just as well in 2012." Johnson said Britain's medal successes over the past three weeks -- their best performance for 100 years -- had provided the London Games with a real boost. "The Games are changing the public perception of the Olympics ... Olympo-sceptics are being rapi...

many times I feel alienated by friends. I'm the person who stick to his values, I give more important to being right than being winner. I cannot focus on multiple things at a time. They like me, but they never make feel that I'm part their group/team. They never involve me in their things like party or study session. I feel this more during my collage days. Perhaps today's world in not for good people. I feel that this what all other people feel, who want to live with their religious values. Some says you are to good to be considered as good. Make me feel my existence.

It said in all religions that man and women should not get close(intimate or have affairs) before marriage. If there is any rule has been made specially in religion, there must be some very strong reasons abt that .Let me tell you why having affair is wrong, most of us believes that first love is true love, if u fall in love with your marriage partner after marriage, than u already got ur true love. Love is most precious thing save it. Don't vest it here and there. Most of people's heart is broken in love. Their life get derailed, they become hopeless, some go the wrong and some even end their life. After marriage this chance is very low. If you already know ur marriage partner before marriage than there is very little surprises left abt each other after marriage. people in affairs thinks that their partner will accept as you are now, but a lot things changed after marriage, you have to change ur self, this is where the problem starts. People vest a lot of time in dating- goin...

This is a really important mile stone for mono project. After a few years in the oven, we are ready to announce the first release of MonoDevelop. Lluis has put together a set of in-depth release notes that covers the major features available in MonoDevelop and links to various tutorials and screencasts as well as extensive screenshots of what is available in MonoDevelop 1.0. MonoDevelop 1.0 is designed mostly for Linux developers creating Gnome and ASP.NET applications but MonoDevelop is also available for MacOS users that download our Mono installer and will still be useful if they are building Mono-based applications on OSX. The IDE has many of the features that you would expect from a modern IDE for Mono: support for programming in multiple languages, an extensible design, editors and designers for ASP.NET and Gnome applications, integration with Unix toolchains and Visual Studio Solutions , support for source code control and following standard...

Danish newspapers again published again cartoon of Prophet Mohammad (peace upon him). They call it "freedom of speech". I don't understand there definition freedom. As much as I know freedom means to do any thing without hurting anybody. Cartoon is an art to entertain the people. It is very creative thing. But they used it do the destructive thing. How bad their mentality is.

I used to do some Qt/C++ development few years back. Qt4 has grown very much since than. It think it is very difficult to integrate Qt designer in Monodevelop which is Gtk based. I never seen an GTk application which host Qt/Kde controls and vice - versa. Now Trolltech is part of now part of Nokia. Nokia is very much interested in Mono. They have ported mono to their mobile platform. I think we should Nokia/Trolltech guys for either start a project similar to QtJambi (Qt for java) or something like that. Both mono and Qt are crucial for Nokia. I expect they will come up some thing soon. One thing I am worrying that how much priority they will give to desktop. Lets see.

I'm have started to moving my asp.net development to Mono from MS asp.net last week. After working for a week I found few few missing pieces First and most important is the asp.net designer Some things breaks when u change mono version (My application build using 1.2.5 is not working on 1.2.6) intellisence for asp.net mark up code , because most of the people (specially ) rely on intellisence (It become more important because of absence of asp.net designer). I'll try keep u updated abt my experience with mono, depends on availability of time. Powered by ScribeFire .
