hi, I am a US citizen who just married my
Pakistani husband early this year, due to certain problems, he
can't come to the US. I am thinking to apply for residency in
Pakistan, do I qualify? do I have to live there on a daily
basis, since i might want to keep my job (cyclical) here.
what about our children here, can he apply citizenship of
Pakistan?
Thanks,
Sarah. USA
You can get visa for coming to Pakistan
easily, simply give a call to Pakistan embassy or check with
your travel agent. When you are in Pakistan you would get
Identity card and then nationality on the basis of your
marriage accepted legally. Your children can also apply for
citizenship when then arrive in Pakistan like you. Then you
can go back to USA and retain job.
For further details ring me 9221-4927381 at your US times
preferably on weekdays when your phone charges would be
minimal.

BABIES TEETHING
What Are Symptoms of
Teething?
Symptoms include:
• Increased irritability
• Placing objects or fingers in the mouth and biting down on
them
• Increased saliva or drooling
• Loss of appetite or becoming choosy about foods
• Tender and swollen gums
• Rash on cheeks or redness in the area of the cheeks near the
affected gums
• Restlessness
• Ear pulling, which may be a sign of teething or possibly an
ear infection (make an appointment to have your child seen by
your doctor or pediatrician)
Teething does not result in fever, vomiting, or diarrhea. If
your child experiences these problems, contact your physician.
What Can I Do to Ease
Teething Pain?
Some suggestions include:
• Massaging your child's gums with a clean finger or the back
of a small cold spoon
• Allowing your child to bite down on a chilled (but never
frozen) teething ring. A frozen teething ring can damage the
gums.
• Using an over-the-counter teething ointment to numb the
gums. Ask your dentist or doctor for some product
recommendations.
• Allowing your child to suck on a cold, wet cloth
• Teething biscuits or cookies and frozen bananas are not
recommended. These objects promote tooth decay and may cause
your child to choke.

USING CREDIT CARD
ONLINE |
Background check
Shop only at reputable stores. If you don't know how
to spot a legitimate site, read techTV article,
Shopping Sites and Product Reviews You Can Trust.
If you've never heard of the company before, ask
around before sending in your credit card. The
National Fraud Information Center keeps an eye out
for shady Internet dealings and offers consumer tips
on its website. Always look on a company's website for
a phone number and call it to make sure there's a
person on the other end.
Secure servers
Most legitimate merchants offer secure transactions.
One way to check whether you are in a secure zone is
to look for the s after the http in the
URL. If it looks like https, you're secure. Or
you can look for the key or padlock icon in the lower
left-hand corner of your browser window. If it's
broken, you're not in a secure location.
You should also make sure you install the most recent
updates for your browser. A website can do everything
to protect you, but a browser security flaw can still
puts your computer and personal information at risk.
Charge it
Use a credit card rather than a check or your ATM card
when you shop online. By law, you are liable for no
more than $50 for unauthorized charges, in the
unlikely event that someone does steal your account
information. Designate one credit card for online
purchases so it's easier to track the activity. Make
sure your card has a low limit and carefully track
your account activity. Never give your bank account
number to an online merchant.
Healthy skepticism
Trash email from unknown addresses promising wealth
and glory. Also, it's easy to fake an email address,
so pay more attention to the message contents rather
than to the domain it supposedly came from. Ignore
sites promoting the latest and greatest way to make
thousands of dollars a week.
Secure your hard copies
You'll want to keep a copy of all your transactions.
Great. But when it comes time to get rid of your
records, don't just throw them away. Shred anything
that contains your personal information so that
someone going through your trash can't use your
information.

People at particular risk of
acquiring hepatitis C |
1.
Recipients of blood transfusions prior to 1990. Before 1990,
most new cases of HCV in the U.S. developed after blood
transfusions. In 1990, a screening test for HCV was
developed, significantly reducing the chances of acquiring
the virus through transfusions.
2. IV drug users. Risk of infection due to IV drug use
still remains high. Fifty to 80 percent of new IV drug users
become infected within six to 12 months of starting to use
IV drugs.
3. Intranasal cocaine users. People who share
instruments for intranasal use of cocaine ("snorting") seem
to be at higher risk of acquiring hepatitis C. The reason is
unknown.
4. Health care workers. Physicians, nurses and
laboratory personnel have a higher prevalence of hepatitis C
than the general population. Exposure to blood products from
poor safety precautions or from accidental needle sticks
seems to increase their risk of acquiring the disease. The
exact risk of acquiring hepatitis C from an infected needle
is not known.
5. Dialysis patients. Hepatitis C can be transmitted
through dialysis equipment that is not properly disposed of
or disinfected.
6. Recipients of body piercing or tattoos. The equipment
and supplies used for piercing or tattooing can be infected
with HCV, but the risk of acquiring hepatitis C through this
means in the U.S. is unconfirmed.
7. Children born to women with hepatitis C. Although
transmission from mother to newborn child has occurred, the
degree of risk is controversial. Estimates range from 0 to
18 percent. Co-infection with HIV increases the overall
risk.

Truly
Shine
Do something difficult, something that will stretch you,
something that will take your past what you already knew you
could do. Choose a challenge that requires time, effort,
dedication and commitment, and then see it through to
completion.
The most valuable experiences are not those that come easy.
The things that mean the most are the things into which you
put the most of yourself.
If life seems too empty, invest more of yourself in it.
Nothing brings fulfillment until you put yourself into it.
That requires effort. And the more rigorous the effort, the
more fulfillment it makes possible.
Imagine how absolutely invigorating it will be to look back
with satisfaction on a difficult and challenging job well
done. Imagine the extraordinary level of confidence with which
you'll then be able to look to the future. What a blessing it
is that life can be such a challenge. For it is in working
through those challenges that we truly shine. Engr Iqbal Ahmed
Khan Ras Tanura, KSA |

THE MAGIC OF THE MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS OF PAKISTAN
Ali Asif Rasheed
The majestic mountains of Pakistan have attracted people from
all over the globe for centuries. They have won the fancy of
adventurers, emperors, saints and scientists, traders and
travelers alike.
The northern region of Pakistan is the meeting point of three
of the world’s greatest and highest mountain ranges – The
Karakorams, The Himalayas, and the Hindu Kush. These ranges
put out hundreds of peak ranging from 6,000 to 8,611 meters
above sea-level, including the forbidding and fabulous K-2,
the world’s second highest mountain, regarded as one of the
most dangerous peaks by mountaineers every where and the
mysterious and lethal, Himalayan peak, Nanga Parbat, known as
the “Killer Mountain”, to climber world wide.
The local believe that a fine gossamer line is threaded
through the incredible mountain peaks to keep them in place!
Certainly, the hand of the Master Craftsman-the Supreme Power
– is much in evidence here.
There are altogether 14 peaks above 8,000 meters in the world,
out of which 5 are in Pakistan.
These are:
1-
The Majestic
K-2, (2nd highest at 8,611 meters)
2-
The Nanga
Parbat, (9th highest at 8,125 meters)
3-
The Hidden
Peak, (11th highest at 8,068 meters)
4-
Broad Peak,
(12th highest, at 8,047 meters)
5-
Gasherbrum
II, (13th highest at 8,035 meters)
Of the 9 peaks outside of Pakistan, eight are in Nepal and
one, the Shisha Pangma at 8,013 meters is in China. Besides
these five over 8,000 meters peaks, there are also other
breath taking landmarks to look for in this spectacular
region- the over 7,000 meters peaks of Dasteghill Sar (7,885
meters). The Trivor (7,720 meters), the Kunyang Chich, (7,852
meters), the Kunjut Sar (7,760 meters), the Muztagh Tower
(7,284 meters), the Masherbrum (7,821 meters), the Ultras I &
II at 7,284 meters, the Orge, the Spantik, the Gondoro, the
Chogolisa, the famous Tirich Mir (at 7,30 meters), the highest
peak of the Hindu Kash range) in Chitral and many, many
more.The awesome Concordia. (called the seat of the throne of
the mountain gods) the great white plateau of the snow lake,
the three largest glaciers outside the Polar regions-the
Baltore, Biafo and Hisper- the magical, ice blue lake Saiful
Muluk are only some of the riveting sights that will remain
etched in your personal treasure chest of life experiences.

Assalam-o-alikum,
Dear children, hope all of you are fine. The end of another
solar year is here. Time passes so quickly. Do not let time
use you…rather you shall use the time. Allah has sent us into
this world for a short time. We will return to Him after our
death. We shall indulge ourselves into such deeds and actions
that bring us Allah’s agreement and not His wrath.
Allah demands from us to respect our parents. In Holy Qur’an,
goodness to parents is mentioned at eleven places.
According to saying of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h) Allah’s
agreement is in father’s agreement and Allah is displeased
when father is displeased with his child. Even if, God forbid,
the parents are non-believer, still Islam does not permit the
children to be disrespectful to them or to shout at them. If
parents strive to convert their children to non-Islamic
beliefs or they require something against Allah’s commandment,
then Allah’s says don't follow them, but still be good to
them. In surat Ban-e-Israil, Allah commands “…Whether one or
both of them (parents) attain old age in your life, do not say
to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them
in terms of honor…” meaning that if parents reach their old
age in front of children, and children feel irritated by any
of their action or saying, still they shall not speak with
them in harsh tone or scold them. Rather deal with them in
most respectful manner and be good to them and pray to Allah:
O Allah! Have mercy on them both, as they did care for me
when I was young."
Prophet’s companion, hazrat Abu-Hurera, relates that once a
man asked Prophet (p. b. u. h.) that who deserves most of my
good behavior. Prophet replied “your mother”. He repeated his
question three times and prophet replied “your mother” three
times. Then he again asked for the fourth time and Prophet
replied “your father”.
According to another saying of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) “Good
conduct towards father and mother is one of the deeds that win
the highest favor of Allah”. The Prophet of Allah said:
“Let that man be disgraced and disgraced again and let him be
disgraced even more.” The people inquired: “O Prophet of
Allah! Who is that man?” The Prophet stated “I refer to the
man who finds his parents old in age – both of them or one of
them – and yet did not earn entitlement to
Paradise by good service to them.” (Muslim)
Parental love is purely unselfish. Parents sacrifice their
ease to bring comfort to their children. Children should to be
respectful to their parents. Respecting parents mean
acknowledging that they are senior to us, have more exposure
to world and have lots more experience. This gives them an
edge over the reasoning of a child who may be a toddler or a
grown up youth. Even if a child disagrees with his/her parent,
it must be done such that parent’s dignity is maintained. When
disagreeing the child aught to note the tone of his/her voice
and gestures. It's not only what you do for your
parents that count only, but also how you do it. It is
the manner as well as the substance.
So let’s strive to give our parents the respect and honor that
they so much deserve for their tireless efforts for us. Our
smiles, good manners, good academic results, as well as hugs
and kisses bring them a world of happiness. And always
remember parents in your prayers: “O Allah! Grant forgiveness
to me and my parents and pardon all the faithful on the Day of
Judgment.”

There is perhaps no more spectacular
sight in space than the death of a star. This scene is called
NGC 2440, and it is known as a planetary nebula. The term has
nothing to do with planets -- the objects when first seen
through modest telescopes looked like the fuzzy disks
presented by planets.
NGC 2440, seen in this Hubble Space Telescope image, is one of
the more chaotic structures known. The central star is in this
case one of the hottest known, with a surface temperature near
360,000 Fahrenheit (200,000 degrees Celsius).
The complex structure suggests to some astronomers that there
have been periodic outflows of material form the star, heading
in different directions with each episode. The nebula is rich
in clouds of dust, some of which form long, dark streaks
pointing away from the central star.
NGC 2440 lies about 4,000 light-years from Earth in the
direction of the constellation Puppis. The image was released
in 1999. |
