Toothache Cure-Relief Tip
So if you are
suffering with toothache hope one of these will help. Pain in
your teeth is an indication that something is wrong. None of
these tips are by anyway an excuse for you not to visit your
dentist as soon as possible.
To ease toothache or other mouth pain, make a tea by boiling
5g of fresh peppermint in 1 Cup of water and adding a little
salt.
Peppermint is an
antiseptic and contains menthol, which relieves pain when
applied to skin surfaces
There are a few things you can try.
Personally I use oil of cloves. You can get it from most drug
stores, chemists, you put a little of the oil on to some
cotton wool and dab it onto the area affected. It will numb
the pain.
You can also try the following take two whole cloves, the
kind you stick into oranges around holiday time, place them
between the offending tooth and your cheek. You might want to
chew them a little to release their juices. This is a
centuries-old trick that really works
It has been pointed out that prolonged use of Cloves and Oil
of Cloves can damage the nerve of a tooth.
Another remedy is soak raspberry or comfrey leaves in hot
water for a few minutes and apply directly to the affected
area.
Another herbal tip is to drink an infusion of chick weed.
Another toothache remedy is to add a few drops of vanilla
flavoring (pure or artificial) to a Q-tip, or cotton ball, and
apply to the tooth and surrounding gum area for a few minutes.
Works great!!!

CP
Ladies Seminar Series kickoffs from Riyadh
(Riyadh, 10th Oct.2002) -ContactPakistan.com, a
global virtual community center that offers number of virtual
services to it almost quarter of a million registered members
from 61 countries steps into physical community events. It is
not the first time for CP’s global operations but it is the
first time in KSA that ContactPakistan.com Saudi team arranged
a physical event for their community. It was an all female
event arranged at Cocopalm restaurant. The course was offered
using multimedia projection system with live demos. The course
was designed to teach Pakistani ladies the positive use of the
internet. The course was blended with basic knowledge of
internet due to the fact that number of participants were
expecting to start using internet after this course. It was a
well-organized event. All female members present in the class
showed enthusiasm and willingness to learn this new technology
which would help them to understand that there is nothing
wrong with the Internet and there are
millions of positive use
of this medium, Their discipline in the class was exemplarity.
The opening speech was delivered by Co-Founder of
ContactPakistan.com, Bushra J. Butt, commonly known in
Internet world as B.J. In her speech she said, that CP has
embarked into the reality world with a mission. We are not an
entertainment club neither a community that supports classes.
On ContactPakistan.com platform everyone is equal and there is
no class, gender or caste. We are simply Pakistani, she added.
She explained what benefit one gets by becoming member of one
of world’s largest virtual community centers. Answering a
question later about the fee to join CP, she answered that all
professional services are offered absolutely free to our
community. She added that our worldwide operations are based
on community welfare and unity. CP has no commercial motive
and from 1998 it is offering its services free to each and
every Pakistani who joins in.
She also thanked on behalf of CP global team to event
sponsors. She added that without the generous help of Zajil
Internet services this event was not possible. She said this
event is part of a series whereby same courses will be offered
to Pakistani females across the Kingdom. She said that our
next destination is Al-Khobar where same event will be offered
on 31st of October inshaAllah.
As per the schedule announced, program started with the
recitation of Holy Qur’an recited by Bushra Bashir. She later
delivered the meaning of the verses read.
Mrs. Yasmeen Aslam whose professional services were rendered
by CP and sponsored by Zajil took over the stage and the
journey into the virtual world of Internet began. In her
lecture she emphasized on the importance of Internet in
everyday life of a Pakistani female. "No invention is bad, how
we use and misuse it makes it good or bad. Mothers were asked
not to take away the privileges from the children or bar
children from the usage of Internet. She explained about the
utilities that are freely available on net and can be easily
installed on a personal PC to make sure that children are not
dragged into the negative side of this medium. She requested
her students to be a part of it, by being positive in
thinking, friendly, trusting and firm when dealing and guiding
the children.
As the course was designed to make use of multimedia
projection system so a live demo of various useful sites made
the event very interesting for those who were in attendance.
She virtually toured various sites including cooking, search
engines and surely the largest community center for Pakistanis
in the Middle East ContactPakistan.com. Class highly praised
B.j when her site
www.CookingWithBj.com was visited and various useful tools
were demonstrated which were very targeted towards Pakistani
women and famiilies. The live demo also trained participants
on how to open up a email account and how to use messenger
services to talk to loved ones back home. They were also
demonstrated on to use Search engines and other sites.
Students were shown how to search for sites of their interest
using search engines and how easy it is to bookmark your
favorites. It was very encouraging for the trainer because the
whole class' was attentive, alert
and
eager to learn. The proof of their willingness to learn was
that when quiz based on what they learnt in the class started.
It was very encouraging for the trainer and CP team that 97%
questions were answered correct. Winners of the quiz who won
various prizes were Seema Khalid, Zahida Bano, Razia Naheed,
Umara Shahid, Saima Salman, Juvairiya Hashmi, Afshan Shahid,
Ishrat Nabeel, Sheeren Shahid Aga and Shagufta Siraj.
There was some thing for everyone. Thanks to our
sponsors all attendees
were provided with stationary, free Internet access cards and
a beautiful apron for each.
Complying with the worldwide policy of ContactPakistan.com,
certificates were presented to all by various CP members. CP
never believes that such community events require a VIP or
so-called chief guests unless they offer significant
assistance to any of the welfare organizations working for
Pakistanis. After the distribution of the certificates all
attendees enjoyed chutpatay snacks offered by one of the
finest Pakistani restaurant, CocoPalm. The event started at
3pm as planned and ended at 7pm as scheduled.
Pak
School Holds Co-Curricular Activities Week
(CP, Riyadh)- The Pakistan International School, Riyadh held
co-curricular activities week from 5 to 9 October 2002.
Students took part in qir’at and quiz contests, debates,
sports events, cultural show and other programs studded with
fun and frolic. The school Principal Prof. Majid Hussain said,
these activities are aimed to foster socio-cultural activities
among students and strengthen the existing teacher-student
relationship and harmony through interaction at various phases
of character-building process. BoD member Dr. Mohammad Ashraf
Chaudhry, who chaired an English debate, Tuesday, praised the
high standard of argumentation of students and their debating
skill. Stage fear is replaced by high spirit of oratory and
the students should continue to harness this habit, he noted.
Head Master Nadir Alam greeted the chief guest and praised his
scholarly achievements. Teacher Nasir Gilani conducted the
proceedings with competence. The topic of debate was
"Imagination is stronger than knowledge," and the majority of
students rejected the proposition. They contended that
knowledge in reality is the basis of progress and
socio-economic uplift. Adeel Ilyas, a seven-year old boy, who
got the first prize, spoke in perfect and fluent English for
five minutes, and at the end of his speech, he convinced the
audience that knowledge and not imagination is a pre-requisite
for development and a vital source of exaltation of culture
and civilization of humanity.
He expressed his views with confidence and fluency and said
the revelation of the Holy Qur’an began with the words "iqra"
(read) which shows that knowledge played a dominant role from
the beginning in shaping the human history. Another young
student Moiz Ahmed, who got the second prize, said the poets
and philosophers carved out the destiny of nation through
their imaginative power and creativity. His presentation was
also impressive. He said the creation of Pakistan itself was
the result of imagination of eminent poet Dr. Mohammad Iqbal
and other political thinkers. The third prize was jointly
shared by Waliullah and Nabeel Khalid. They also performed
excellently in discussing the subject on both sides.
Earlier this week, a quiz competition in both boys and girls
wings, held in all four wings, generated a lively atmosphere.
Ahmed Bilal of senior boys school was declared the best quiz
master of the year 2002-3 and got the first prize and cash
award for his presence of mind and speedy delivery of answers
to various ticklish questions. Other prize winners were:
Suhail Shah, Ahmed Humayun, Ammar, Salman Naeem, Salman Saeed,
Hassan Hayat, and Usman Iftikhar. The questions focused on
Islamic studies, science and technology and current affairs.

(Ali Asif Rashid, Riyadh)- A new group of expatriates,
Pakistan National Forum, was launched here Friday on the eve
of October 10 parliamentary election in Pakistan to monitor
results and apprise the community members of their
repercussions on the socio-economic development of the
country. The forum is chaired by Eng. Raza ur Rahman and its
general secretary is Asif Saleem. Shamshad Ali Siddiqui who
conducted the proceedings of the panel discussion, said:
"The
general masses have not shown any extraordinary enthusiasm and
fervor in the forthcoming elections of parliament and
provincial assemblies, which will probably result in the
formation of hung governments at federal and assembly levels."
Forum’s chairman, Raza ur Rahman said, after two weeks another
panel discussion will be held to assess the formation of the
governments and their future role in solving the country’s
serious problems like poverty, illiteracy, disease,
unemployment and law and order situation in the country. He
said the forum would also focus on creating greater awareness
on supporting the nation by remitting foreign exchange and
building up savings for bigger investments in Pakistan.
Other speakers included Qadeer Mirza, Khalid Raja, Aijaz Ahmed
Taher Awan, Gul Mohammad Bhutta, Aqeel Ahmed, Rasheed ul
Hassan, Tariq Nadeem Sheikh and F. A. Naqvi. They pledged to
work for the unity and strength of Pakistan and address the
community problems with concerted efforts. Tariq Nadeem said a
large Pakistani community in Saudi Arabia is concerned about
the development and political changes in their country. He
said the Forum would also support the needy and talented
Pakistani students here.

SIALKOT
|
Sialkot is a city situated
in Punjab province of Pakistan. It is located near
Indo-Pak border, about 125 k.m. from Lahore, the
capital of Punjab. This city is centuries old.
According to tradition, it was constructed by Raja Sul.
Famous Fort of Sialkot is still there but it is in the
shape of a small hill now.
Sports goods, surgical instruments, musical instruments
and leather garments are manufactured here and exported
all over the world. These products are considered the
best in quality throughout the world.
The
city of Sialkot is believed to have been founded by one
Raja Sul or Sálá, the uncle of Pandhavas, whose heroic
deeds are recorded in the epic Mahábhárta. After his
death some 5000 years ago, there is a tradition that the
dynasty continued for some 1500 years and then the
country was flooded and remained one vast uninhabited
region for about 1000 years. The popular belief is that
it was re-founded in the reign of Vikramaditya of Ujjain
by Raja Sáliváhan or Sálbán, who built the fort and city
and gave the place its present name. He was of Sia
caste, and it is believed that the word "Sialkot" means
'the fort of Sia'.
Legend also says
the Salivahan had two sons; one Puran by name , was
killed by the instrumentality of a wicked step-mother,
and thrown inot a well, still the resort of pilgrims
near Sialkot , called "Puran ka Kunwna", the well of
Puran. (A Mohalla in the city is also named "Puran Nagar")
Other son of Salivahan , Rasalu, became involved in wars
with Raja Hudi, popularly stated to have been a Gakkhar
chieftain. Being worsted in battle, Rasalu, as the price
for piece, was forced to give his daughter in marriage
to his conqueror, who gave the territory he had
conquered to Rasalu's adopted son. According to another
legend narrated to Mr. Prinsep:"After the death of Raja
Rasalu, the country is said to have fallen under
the curse of Puran, for 300 years
lying totally devastated from famine
and incessant
plunder."
Sialkot is also the birth place of Dr. Muhammad
Iqbal, commonly known as Allama Iqbal. He was one
of the greatest thinker, philosopher and poet of the
age. He gave the ideology of Pakistan. His house is
now a national monument. |

Anger in Teenagers
Mrs. Irum Bilal Toor
(Jeddah) |
|
What is Anger ?
Anger is
a frightening emotion. It is a feeling rather than a
behavior. Anger takes many forms from indignation and
resentment to rage and becoming furious that in turn is
the behavior that we observe or experience ourselves.
Anger can be both physical and verbal which can result in
destroying relationships, harming others, addictions,
crime, mental illness & many more.
Why anger is more common among teenagers
?
Teenagers
face a lot of emotional issues during this period of
development. Relationships between parents & them are also
changing as they are becoming more & more independent.
This can lead to frustration & confusion that leads to
anger, resulting in reactive behavior for both parents &
teens. At this time the teenagers are faced with a
question of identity, relationship and purpose. Parents
should be more flexible in order to cope with their child.
We need to respond rather than react to one another & to
situations. The intention is not to deny the anger but to
control that emotion & express it in a proactive way.
Look within ourselves
In order
to have a healthy relationship during this time such
questions can be asked to bring about self awareness in
both parents & teens.
-
Where
does this anger come from?
-
What
type of situations results in anger?
-
Do I
use absolutes thoughts like ‘must’ ‘should’ ‘never’?
-
To whom
or what is my anger directed?
-
Am I
focusing on what have been done to me rather than what I
can do?
-
How am
I accountable for what am I feeling?
Coping with teens anger
-
To
avoid aggressiveness few things should be kept in mind.
-
Listen
carefully to the child & try to resolve his problem.
-
Try to understand the
situation from child’s perspective
-
Avoid using frequent ‘do’ & ‘don’t’ with
your child.
-
Don’t
blame or accuse which results in more complexility of a
situation & ends all communication.
-
Work
towards a solution where everyone wins.
-
Tell how you feel, stick to facts and
deal with the present moment.
-
Showing
love & care means your teen opportunities to be
responsible and empowering them to make their own
decisions.
