		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>How many times have you thought to yourself &#8220;when is it MY time?&#8221; I&#8217;m a good person but things aren&#8217;t really going my way. I follow all the accepted &#8220;rules&#8221; and still I&#8217;m left standing all alone.</p>
<p><span id="more-1302"></span></p>
<p>Will I ever be able to change what life has in store for me? The answer is YES. You and you alone can control how your life can change. Will it be easy? Maybe not but what is the alternative? Doing the same old thing and getting the same old results.</p>
<p>Things can change if you want them to. It&#8217;s not necessarily going to be easy or fast. But you have to make a decision. Do I continue to do what I&#8217;m doing and hope that the &#8220;results&#8221; will be different than every other day? OR do I decide to take control and move forward to make the changes that I need for myself, my family, and my future.</p>
<p>Doing the same thing as you did yesterday and expecting different results will only lead to frustration. You need to make a change. You need to get serious. You need to believe in yourself. You CAN do this. It really doesn&#8217;t matter what you choose to do. Just take charge of your own future and vow to DO it.</p>
<p>Here is what you need to do:</p>
<p>Decide that you ARE ready for a change<br />
<br />Believe that you CAN change your future<br />
<br />Have faith in yourself that you WILL succeed<br />
<br />Don&#8217;t let the naysayers bring you DOWN<br />
<br />Decide to move FORWARD and don&#8217;t look back.<br />
<br />What happened yesterday is in the past.<br />
<br />Make TOMORROW count!!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>Teenage is a tough time. Many teenagers are prone to depression during this phase of life. Teenage depression can very easily be confused with mood swings and melancholic nature. This not just makes it almost impossible to diagnose and treat it. But, also raises the possibility of it creating serious problems in later life. Teenage depression is far more prevalent than it is thought to be.</p>
<p><span id="more-1301"></span></p>
<p>There are several symptoms by which depression in teenagers can be diagnosed -</p>
<p>	Prolonged feelings of hopelessness, sadness, tearfulness, guilt, worthlessness, thoughts of death and suicide.<br />
<br />	Loss of interest in any activity especially the ones in which they were interested as a child.<br />
<br />	Difficulty in focussing on anything.<br />
<br />	Significant changes in dietary and sleep patterns.<br />
<br />	Impatience, moodiness, agitation and undue anger.<br />
<br />	Lack of motivation.<br />
<br />	High sensitivity to criticism.<br />
<br />	Unexplained bodily dysfunctions like digestive ailments, nausea and aches and pains.</p>
<p>However, there are several steps that can be taken to control teenage depression.</p>
<p>	Develop understanding for teenage depression. It is the first and foremost step in controlling it. Depression is a serious ailment and should not be confused with just bouts of bad moods. So, educate yourself if you have a depressed teenager on your hands.<br />
<br />	Develop good communication channels with your teenager. It is imperative to be gentle, supportive, and accepting in your attitude. Encouraging them to talk. It helps them form a trustworthy bond with you.<br />
<br />	Teenage depression needs treatment just like any other ailment. So consult a good doctor who can inculcate trust in your adolescent. You doctor can advise suitably if your adolescent needs psychological or psychiatric care and can also recommend someone qualified for the job.<br />
<br />	Explore the treatment possibilities with your doctor. It is also necessary to take depressed teenagers into confidence. This is a tricky thing to do. If your adolescents trust that whatever you are doing is for their benefit, chances are that they shall go ahead with your advice.<br />
<br />	Sometimes there is some traumatic experience that causes depression in youngsters. It could be a sexual incident. It is necessary for the parents to brace themselves for the knowledge of the worst and still remain tolerant in attitude. Feeling sorry for your adolescent is also not helpful. So, just remain calm and supportive.</p>
<p>Coping with adolescent depression is easier said than done. It is equally traumatic for the parents. However, they need to do it. So remain strong in the knowledge that if all the right things are done depression in youngsters is completely curable.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>My mother drilled into me the importance of saying &#8220;please&#8221; and &#8220;thank you.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, when I would eat or sleep over at friends&#8217; houses and utter these magical words their moms would poke them by saying: &#8220;Do you hear how polite Gary is?&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-1300"></span></p>
<p>It was a little embarrassing, but there was some proof in their responses that my mom&#8217;s indoctrination had positive effects.</p>
<p>I still try to say please and thanks, and I like to think it&#8217;s less of a reflex and more voluntary than it was way back when. In any case, it is a good habit to cultivate.</p>
<p>Management guru Peter F. Drucker said so many things that I&#8217;m starting to get Drucker fatigue. I should probably desist in quoting him for a month, though this is hard to do inasmuch as he left his mark on me as the most frequent professor in my MBA program.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;Good manners aren&#8217;t about content. They are lubricating oil, making social relations smoother.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, adolescents and others that chafe at the idea of being pleasant when they don&#8217;t feel like it are missing the point. &#8220;Manners aren&#8217;t about sincerity,&#8221; Drucker went on to say on numerous occasions.</p>
<p>Expressing gratitude is crucial in life, and being grateful may even be better. According to literature that I have been researching, being grateful can stave off depression, help us to handle disappointments, and even lessen sensations of physical pain wrought by ailments of various kinds.</p>
<p>Being happy with what we have, with whom we know, with our jobs, families, and even with the passing scent of flowers in the breeze, can heighten our enjoyment of life.</p>
<p>Perhaps the niftiest application of gratitude is finding a way to be thankful in the midst of our most trying times, when we have lost jobs, are fighting addictions, and are wallowing in worry and stress.</p>
<p>Throughout my adult life I&#8217;ve sought secrets into motivation, so I could stay positive while encouraging others to do the same and to perform at peak levels. Never have I found anything quite as practical as counting one&#8217;s blessings, and saying thanks for them.</p>
<p>At the same time, when I&#8217;ve descended into the deepest emotional craters, now I can look back and see that I stopped being grateful. Indeed, I lost sight of the good. Instead of seeing it, and praising it, I saw holes, empty spaces, voids, and dissatisfactions and complained about them, if only to myself.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t remember why I forgot to be grateful or how it was exactly that I became ungrateful. But I know it happened. And I don&#8217;t want it to happen, again.</p>
<p>Want a better life? Say thank you, over and over. And even if nothing seems different on the outside, miraculous changes could take place, within.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>The regimes of resistance training classically used to produce strength, power, muscular endurance or muscle hypertrophy may be summarised in the form of of recommendations based on research and experience (Note that this table refers to dynamic and not isometric training regimes).</p>
<p><span id="more-1299"></span></p>
<p>This scheme, however, does not take into account the complexity of the phenomenon of strength or the other strength-related qualities of neuromuscular performance, such as strength-speed, explosive strength, flexibility-strength and strength-endurance.</p>
<p>It is the major objective of this book to investigate the scope of sport specific strength training in far greater depth than implied by the generalised scheme of Table 1.1 and thereby enable the exercise professional to apply this information in practice.</p>
<p>Later in this text, it will be shown that the effective and safe prescription of resistance training should begin with an understanding of force-time and related curves concerning the patterns of force production in sport and resistance training. On this basis we can identify several major objectives of strength training, namely:</p>
<p>• To increase maximal or absolute strength <br />
• To increase explosive strength (large force in minimal time)<br />
• To increase the Rate of Force Production<br />
• To enable the muscles to generate large forces for a given period<br />
• To enable the muscles to sustain small forces for a prolonged period<br />
• To increase muscle and connective tissue hypertrophy</p>
<p>The summary of training approaches may be adequate for the average personal trainer or coach dealing with the average client or lower level athlete, but it needs to be expanded upon to take into account the objectives stated above. In particular, it needs to distinguish between methods concentrating on neural adaptation versus the different types of hypertrophy and muscle endurance. This is done at length in later chapters. </p>
<p>Methods involving a large training volume (many repetitions) are referred to as extensive methods and any phase which relies on a high volume of low resistance training is referred to as an extensification or accumulation phase. Conversely, high intensity, low volume methods are known as intensive methods and a phase comprising this type of training is referred to as an intensification phase. The early stages of training usually begin with an extensive phase to lay the foundation for the greater demands imposed by the subsequent intensive phase with heavy resistance and few repetitions In fact, the long-term training system known as periodisation is based on cyclically alternating extensive and intensive phases of exercise chosen to timeously enhance given components of fitness such as strength, strength-speed and strength-endurance.</p>
<p>The traditional approaches to strength conditioning usually regard the following variables as the most important in a weight training programme:</p>
<p>• magnitude of the load<br />
• number of repetitions<br />
• number of sets</p>
<p>Training programmes based entirely on these variables, however, are seriously incomplete and limited in their long-term effectiveness, especially as a form of supplementary training for other sports. Factors such as the following must also be taken into consideration:</p>
<p>• the type of strength fitness required<br />
• the type of muscle contraction involved (isometric, concentric, eccentric)<br />
• the speed of movement over different phases of movement<br />
• the acceleration at critical points in the movement<br />
• the rest intervals between repetitions, sets and workouts<br />
• active versus passive rest/recuperation intervals<br />
• the sequence of exercises<br />
• the relative strength of agonists and antagonists, stabilisers and movers<br />
• the development of optimal static and dynamic range of movement<br />
• the strength deficit of given muscle groups<br />
• the training history of the individual<br />
• the injury history of the individual<br />
• the level of sports proficiency of the individual.</p>
<p>The last-mentioned factor is of exceptional importance, because the advanced athlete responds to a given training regime very differently from a novice. For instance, the exact sequencing of strength, strength-speed and hypertrophy means in a workout or microcycle is of little consequence during the first weeks or months of a beginner&#8217;s training, but is very important to a more experienced athlete. Moreover, loads as small as 40% of 1RM can significantly enhance the strength of a beginner, but have no strengthening effect on an elite athlete.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>The regimes of resistance training classically used to produce strength, power, muscular endurance or muscle hypertrophy may be summarised in the form of of recommendations based on research and experience (Note that this table refers to dynamic and not isometric training regimes).</p>
<p><span id="more-1299"></span></p>
<p>This scheme, however, does not take into account the complexity of the phenomenon of strength or the other strength-related qualities of neuromuscular performance, such as strength-speed, explosive strength, flexibility-strength and strength-endurance.</p>
<p>It is the major objective of this book to investigate the scope of sport specific strength training in far greater depth than implied by the generalised scheme of Table 1.1 and thereby enable the exercise professional to apply this information in practice.</p>
<p>Later in this text, it will be shown that the effective and safe prescription of resistance training should begin with an understanding of force-time and related curves concerning the patterns of force production in sport and resistance training. On this basis we can identify several major objectives of strength training, namely:</p>
<p>• To increase maximal or absolute strength <br />
• To increase explosive strength (large force in minimal time)<br />
• To increase the Rate of Force Production<br />
• To enable the muscles to generate large forces for a given period<br />
• To enable the muscles to sustain small forces for a prolonged period<br />
• To increase muscle and connective tissue hypertrophy</p>
<p>The summary of training approaches may be adequate for the average personal trainer or coach dealing with the average client or lower level athlete, but it needs to be expanded upon to take into account the objectives stated above. In particular, it needs to distinguish between methods concentrating on neural adaptation versus the different types of hypertrophy and muscle endurance. This is done at length in later chapters. </p>
<p>Methods involving a large training volume (many repetitions) are referred to as extensive methods and any phase which relies on a high volume of low resistance training is referred to as an extensification or accumulation phase. Conversely, high intensity, low volume methods are known as intensive methods and a phase comprising this type of training is referred to as an intensification phase. The early stages of training usually begin with an extensive phase to lay the foundation for the greater demands imposed by the subsequent intensive phase with heavy resistance and few repetitions In fact, the long-term training system known as periodisation is based on cyclically alternating extensive and intensive phases of exercise chosen to timeously enhance given components of fitness such as strength, strength-speed and strength-endurance.</p>
<p>The traditional approaches to strength conditioning usually regard the following variables as the most important in a weight training programme:</p>
<p>• magnitude of the load<br />
• number of repetitions<br />
• number of sets</p>
<p>Training programmes based entirely on these variables, however, are seriously incomplete and limited in their long-term effectiveness, especially as a form of supplementary training for other sports. Factors such as the following must also be taken into consideration:</p>
<p>• the type of strength fitness required<br />
• the type of muscle contraction involved (isometric, concentric, eccentric)<br />
• the speed of movement over different phases of movement<br />
• the acceleration at critical points in the movement<br />
• the rest intervals between repetitions, sets and workouts<br />
• active versus passive rest/recuperation intervals<br />
• the sequence of exercises<br />
• the relative strength of agonists and antagonists, stabilisers and movers<br />
• the development of optimal static and dynamic range of movement<br />
• the strength deficit of given muscle groups<br />
• the training history of the individual<br />
• the injury history of the individual<br />
• the level of sports proficiency of the individual.</p>
<p>The last-mentioned factor is of exceptional importance, because the advanced athlete responds to a given training regime very differently from a novice. For instance, the exact sequencing of strength, strength-speed and hypertrophy means in a workout or microcycle is of little consequence during the first weeks or months of a beginner&#8217;s training, but is very important to a more experienced athlete. Moreover, loads as small as 40% of 1RM can significantly enhance the strength of a beginner, but have no strengthening effect on an elite athlete.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>History of Tarot Cards:</p>
<p>The birth of Tarot Cards is a matter of some debate. No one knows for sure when the first decks of tarot cards were invented. Many scholars believe tarot cards first emerged in the 15th century, others believe the origins of tarot goes back as far as the early 1300&#8217;s. Everyone agrees tarot cards originated in Italy as &#8216;tarocchi&#8217; cards and were used as playing cards with no direct connection to divination or meditation. During the 18th century, tarot cards became immensely popular in France, and the french pronunciation of &#8216;taro&#8217; with a silent &#8216;t&#8217; has been adopted universally.</p>
<p><span id="more-1298"></span></p>
<p>During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a catholic priest named Eliphas Levi incorporated tarot cards into his occult writings of magic. Levi was a well-versed student of multiple languages (Hebrew, Hindu, Polish, Masonic, and Cabalism) as well as many scientific studies (Astronomy, Astrology, and Metaphysics). Levi created his own deck of tarot cards as a teaching tool to help his students with their studies of spiritual matters and self-awareness. He was the first to incorporate the four elements of nature, astrological symbols, and biblical references into a deck of tarot cards. His use of these symbols have certainly stood the test of time, many modern authors still use the symbols he developed.</p>
<p>Tarot Cards:</p>
<p>The single most popular deck of tarot cards in use today is the Rider-Waite deck which was first published in England, circa 1910. The name Rider-Waite is a combination of the publisher&#8217;s name (Rider Company of London) and the author&#8217;s name (Arthur Edward Waite). In the late 19th century, an English occult group known as the &#8216;Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn&#8217; was deeply engaged in the study of tarot. One of it&#8217;s members, and American-born and English-educated author, Arthur Edward Waite, conceived a deck of tarot cards which could be used to predict possible future events. The Rider-Waite deck was revolutionary because every card depicted a picture which told a story. The cards were magnificently illustrated by fellow Golden Dawn artist, Pamela Coleman Smith. Her work has served to inspire many tarot artists that have followed.</p>
<p>Tarot Deck Essentials:</p>
<p>A complete deck of tarot cards consists of 78 cards. 56 of the cards comprise the &#8216;Minor Arcana&#8217; and the remaining 22 cards make up the &#8216;Major Arcana&#8217;. Arcana means &#8217;secrets, mysteries&#8217;.</p>
<p>The 56 Minor Arcana cards deal with issues of every day significance and importance. They can be further classified as 14 cards (Ace through 10, plus four Court cards) in each of four suits. Each suit is related to one of the four elements of nature: Fire, Water, Earth, &#038; Air. Each suit possesses its own unique characteristics:</p>
<p>- The masculine element of Fire is represented by the tarot suit of &#8216;Wands&#8217; and symbolizes: action, will, drive, creativity, and spirit.</p>
<p>- The feminine element of Water is represented by the tarot suit of &#8216;Cups&#8217; and symbolizes: emotion, feelings, psychic ability, and spiritual belief.</p>
<p>- The masculine element of Air is represented by the tarot suit of &#8216;Swords&#8217; and symbolizes: clarity of thought, intellect, invention, and ideas.</p>
<p>- The feminine element of Earth is represented by the tarot suit of &#8216;Pentacles&#8217; and symbolizes: all things of an earthly nature, the body, health, and career.</p>
<p>Within each suit, there are fourteen cards which have their own symbolic meaning:</p>
<p>Tarot Cards:<br />
- Ace: New Opportunities, Beginnings<br />
- Two: Balance, Partnership<br />
- Three: Magic, Trinity<br />
- Four: Completion, Foundation<br />
- Five: Chaos, Unrest<br />
- Six: Beauty &#038; Perfection<br />
- Seven: Spiritual Quest, Study<br />
- Eight: Stability, Infinity<br />
- Nine: A Magic Number<br />
- Ten: Fulfillment, Harvest<br />
- Pages: Exploration, Learning<br />
- Knights: Action, Movement<br />
- Queen: Depth, Maturity<br />
- King: Power, Strength</p>
<p>The 22 Major Arcana cards speak to matters of deep significance and higher purpose. Major Arcana cards often relate stories of the journey of one&#8217;s soul and spiritual awareness. Life experiences transcend boundaries of space and time, this realization is reflected in the Major Arcana cards. Major Arcana cards are considered trump cards.</p>
<p>Usefulness of Tarot Cards:</p>
<p>Tarot cards should be viewed as a tool to examine one&#8217;s own life, and to gain positive perspective going forward. The cards do not possess mysterious powers, nor do they present any risk of harm to you or others when used properly. Tarot cards should be used to gain positive insights which can be helpful with everyday situations and struggles. Tarot may reveal a higher level of self-awareness, a new point of view, and a better understanding of your place in the world. Many tarot readers have reported gaining insights which have helped them understand past events with more clarity, and ultimately this understanding has helped them avoid repeating mistakes. Some tarot readers turn to the cards to predict possible future events. Often times, if your mind is open to new possibilities, that alone is enough to spark a positive change in your life&#8217;s path.</p>
<p>Care for Your Tarot Deck:</p>
<p>You can find all kinds of different advice on the internet for how to care for your cards. Essentially, it is recommended to cleanse your new deck of cards before their first use, this can be easily done by leaving your deck on a window sill for 24 hours to allow both the Sun and the Moon to cleanse your cards. Next, your cards should be seasoned by sleeping with them under your pillow for a few nights. Between uses, your tarot cards should be wrapped in a velvet cloth and stored in a tarot bag (pouch).</p>

<p> </p>
<p>This is the first article of the series: &#8220;Who is cursed in Bible versus Quran&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-1296"></span></p>
<p>In the Bible the Lord God says that the earth and the serpent are cursed.</p>
<p>The Earth is Cursed because of Adam; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for Adam to eat; the serpent is cursed because of Eve and it will eat dust.</p>
<p>In the Quran, Allah has cursed Iblis (Satan or the Devil).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who is cursed in the Bible? (1)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following verses, Genesis 3: 1, 11-18, which talks about Adam and Eve, reveals some interesting facts; they are:</p>
<p>1-     God has cursed the Earth and the serpent                   </p>
<p>2-     The serpent is the craftiest animal and is the cause of Eve&#8217;s fall</p>
<p>3-     Eve is the cause of Adam&#8217;s fall</p>
<p>4-     Man rules over woman</p>
<p>5-     The serpent eats dust</p>
<p>6-     Adam was essentially vegetarian.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The verses Genesis 3: 1, 11-18 say:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The serpent is deceitful and skillful in evil schemes; it is craftier than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. The serpent said to Eve, &#8220;Did God actually say, &#8216;You shall not eat of any tree in the garden&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto Adam, &#8220;Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I have commanded you not to eat from?&#8221;</p>
<p>Adam said unto the Lord God, &#8220;The woman (Eve) whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Lord God said to Eve, &#8220;What is this you have done?&#8221; Eve said, &#8220;The serpent deceived and beguiled me, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto the serpent, &#8220;Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.&#8221;</p>
<p>God said unto Eve, &#8220;I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Lord God said unto Adam, &#8220;Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, &#8216;You must not eat of it,&#8217; &#8220;Cursed is the ground (the Earth) because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it (the Earth) all the days of your life; thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.&#8221;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who is cursed in the Quran? (1)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The following verses, 15:26-44, which talks about Adam&#8217;s creation, reveals some interesting facts; they are:</p>
<p>1-     Allah created the jinn before the creation of Adam</p>
<p>2-     Allah created Adam of black mud that stinks; this indicates that the Bacteria (stinks) were mixed with the clay-Adam. These bacteria would form later on the normal body flora in the living-Adam.  This normal body flora comprises 60-70% of the immunity of any human being including Adam.</p>
<p>3-     Allah celebrated the creation of Adam by commanding the Angels to prostrate once the clay-Adam turns out to be the living Adam when Allah places the spirit into him. This prostration is the Angel&#8217;s greeting for Adam and it is a great honor for mankind.</p>
<p>4-     The Angels prostrated save the too proud Iblis (Satan) who was standing among the angels, watching Adam&#8217;s creation.</p>
<p>      5- Then, there was a dialogue between Allah and Satan.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The verses 15:26-44 say:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah created the jinn before the creation of Adam of smokeless fire, of permeative fire that can escape through openings.</p>
<p>Allah created Adam of black mud that stinks.</p>
<p>Allah said to the angels, &#8220;Indeed I am going to create a mortal out of clay of black stinking mud&#8221;. &#8220;So, when I have proportioned him, when I created his hands, legs, eyes and the rest of him and I have breathed into him of My Spirit, so that he becomes a living thing, fall down in prostration before him!&#8217;</p>
<p>And so, the angels fell prostrate to Adam, all of them together. Except Iblis (Satan or the Devil), he was [standing] among the angels: he felt too proud and refused to be among those prostrating to Adam.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, there was a dialogue between Allah and Satan (Iblis):</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: O Iblis! Why you are not among those prostrating? Why do you not prostrate to Adam?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: Why should I prostrate myself before a mortal whom you have created out of clay of black stinking mud; it is not becoming of me to prostrate to black stinking mud.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: ‘Then be gone from hence, that is, from standing among the angels — but it is also said, from the heavens — for you are indeed accursed, outcast, and banished from My mercy.  And indeed My curse and the curse of the angels and all created beings shall be upon you until the Day of Judgment, the Day of Requital.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: My Lord! Reprieve me until the day when they, mankind, shall be resurrected and are raised from the grave; the accursed did not wish to taste death.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: you are reprieved, you will be given respite. Till an appointed time, the time of the first blast of the Trumpet.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Satan said: ‘My Lord, because You have lead me astray I shall adorn for them all the evil acts in the earth and I shall lead all of them astray. Except those servants of Yours who are protected from me, who are sincerely devoted to You.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Allah said: The straight path leading to Me is the right and honored course.  Lo! As for My servants, the devoted believers, you shall have nether warrant nor power over them; except those who follow you from among the wicked, the disbelievers. And truly Hell shall be their destination; all those who follow and obey you shall be with you in Hell.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>===================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Bible: Genesis 3: 1, 11-18 (English Standard Version)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, &#8220;Did God actually say, &#8216;You shall not eat of any tree in the garden&#8217;?&#8221;</p>
<p>11He said, &#8220;Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?&#8221; 12The man said, &#8220;The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.&#8221; 13Then the LORD God said to the woman, &#8220;What is this that you have done?&#8221; The woman said, &#8220;The serpent deceived me, and I ate.&#8221;</p>
<p>14The LORD God said to the serpent, &#8220;Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.</p>
<p>15I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.&#8221;</p>
<p>16To the woman he said, &#8220;I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.&#8221;</p>
<p>17And to Adam he said, &#8220;Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, &#8216;You shall not eat of it,&#8217; cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;</p>
<p>18thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>==================================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Quran: Verses 15:26-44 (Pickthal translation)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>﴿26﴾ verily we created man of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered,</p>
<p>﴿27﴾and the jinn did we create aforetime of essential fire.</p>
<p>﴿28﴾ and (remember) when thy lord said unto the angels: lo! I am creating a mortal out of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered,</p>
<p>﴿29﴾ so, when I have made him and have breathed into him of my spirit, do ye fall down, prostrating yourselves unto him.</p>
<p>﴿30﴾ so the angels fell prostrate, all of them together</p>
<p>﴿31﴾ save Iblis. He refused to be among the prostrate.</p>
<p>﴿32﴾ he said: o Iblis! What aileth thee that thou art not among the prostrate?</p>
<p>﴿33﴾ he said: I am not one to prostrate myself unto a mortal whom thou hast created out of potter&#8217;s clay of black mud altered!</p>
<p>﴿34﴾ he (Allah)  said: then go thou forth from hence, for lo! Thou art outcast.</p>
<p>﴿35﴾ and lo! The curse shall be upon thee till the Day of Judgment.</p>
<p>﴿36﴾ he said: my lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.</p>
<p>﴿37﴾ he said: then lo! Thou art of those reprieved</p>
<p>﴿38﴾ till the day of appointed time.</p>
<p>﴿39﴾ he said: my lord! Because thou hast sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one,</p>
<p> ﴿40﴾﴾ save such of them as are thy perfectly devoted slaves.</p>
<p>﴿41﴾ he said: this is a right course incumbent upon me:</p>
<p>﴿42﴾ lo! As for my slaves, thou hast no power over any of them save such of the froward as follow thee,</p>
<p>﴿43﴾ and lo! For all such, hell will be the promised place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>========================</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The wisdom of Adam&#8217; story in the Quran:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1) Before Allah has given Adam the spirit to live, the clay-Adam was stinking; and after the spirit leaves the man when he dies, he will stink again.</p>
<p>2) So, the man&#8217;s beginning was stinking and the man&#8217;s end is eventually stinking too.  The spirit provided by Allah is between the two man&#8217; stink.</p>
<p>3) Our body is material + spirit.  We almost always give our material part its proper nourishment.  Also, our spirit part needs sustenance too by being connected to its Creator.  Unfortunately, most of us do not give their spirit part its proper nourishment; and that is why most us are not happy and will never ever be satisfied. Hence, the secret of happiness is in our spirit part.</p>
<p>4) It is Satan, not the serpent, who is our essential enemy.</p>
<p>5) In other verses of the Quran, both Adam and Eve ate from the tree at the same time; so Eve was not the cause of Adam&#8217;s fall.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:</p>
<p>Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?</p>

I am going to teach you how in a matter of days, or even just a few weeks, you can have a really deep voice, just like I do now.</p>
<p><span id="more-1295"></span></p>
<p>First off, I want to stress on the fact that it is known that men with deeper voices, have more opportunities. By opportunities I mean, the women come to you more. It is so true, men with deeper voices are like magnets to women. When I had a squeaky mouse like voice, I was the &#8220;best friend&#8221; or the girls, never the cute guy they all wanted to date. But now that I have learned how to get a deep voice, the chicks seem to be much more attracted to me. Some have even commented on how I have a really deep voice, and not in a negative way.</p>
<p>Now, one of the main things I had to do to get a deeper voice was have a little bit of confidence. At first I was a bit skeptical thinking what if my voice is deep but sounds all raspy and disgusting. Well, luckily it&#8217;s not even like that. But, you have to have confidence in your new voice after you learn how to get a deep voice. The second thing is, when you are training to learn how to get a deep voice, you really need to be focused on your pitch. Reason for this is because you don&#8217;t want to have a manly voice only sometimes. You want to make sure it is evened out and consistent.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>Covert Hypnosis also known as conversational hypnosis is the process in which one gains control over the other&#8217;s mind without their knowledge just by making conversations by the listener&#8217;s subconscious mind. The ultimate aim here is to change the opinion of the person in question by manipulating their thoughts and making them do things your way. In this process the hypnotizer changes the thought pattern of the people, their behavior, emotions and perception of life on a subconscious level. Unlike with conventional hypnotherapy sessions covert hypnosis does not involve closing of the eyes or any kind of moving pendulum or weird hand gestures.</p>
<p><span id="more-1294"></span></p>
<p>The commands or suggestions given by the person hypnotizing to the person being hypnotized are more of a metaphor and presented in an indirect fashion, although in certain cases they are also given directly. Stories are one of the tools of covert hypnosis which can be effectively used to convey your actual message across and help remember it with much more probability. The initial step in covert hypnosis though is to build a rapport with the listener. It is easy to do it with friends and family but also not that difficult to do it with strangers. All you have to do is use some compliment on them or laugh at their jokes to build a comfort level with your unknown listener. It is not necessary that you go too deep into building a connection with your listener.</p>
<p>The next step after building a rapport with the person to be hypnotized you have to try and switch off the listener&#8217;s critical mind. It is nothing but diverting the listener&#8217;s mind from its normal thinking state to an imaginary thinking state. You can always start by using some scenarios and asking them questions like &#8220;What if&#8230;&#8221; or &#8220;Imagine this&#8230;&#8221;. This immediately shuts off their critical mind and lets their imagination dominate their thought process. After successfully taking the listener off his/her critical mindset you may now make your irresistible commands and describe the things you want him/her to do. The effectiveness of this method depends on a lot of things that you put in to it. It depends on the way you transform their mind from critical thinking to imagination and the kind of statements you make to convince them well enough to perform the task you give them.</p>
<p>This technique can be well practiced by salesmen, businessmen, therapists and so on. It is essentially used to bring about positive outcomes out of the listener but may at times be misused by some evil-doers who have mastered this art. It is an interesting activity which can be learnt to help others as well. So why not use this powerful technique to enrich your relationships and business affairs and also help others to attain the same power.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!--INFOLINKS_ON--><p>During recent years we have heard a lot about the Law of attraction and even though you might think that you haven&#8217;t ever practiced this law, you use the Law of Attraction on your every day life even if you haven&#8217;t heard about it before. Either conscious or unconsciously you are attracting the experiences you are having in your life. This being the case, let&#8217;s strive to make this law impact our lives positively by attracting All we Want to Have and Be, instead of attracting more of what we don&#8217;t want in our lives. How does it sound to you? Are you willing to give it a try?</p>
<p><span id="more-1293"></span></p>
<p>The following steps will allow you to unleash the unlimited power of the Law of Attraction.</p>
<p>The first step is to express gratitude for all what you have in your life including both blessings and challenges. Since we want to attract wonderful things in our lives, list all the positive things in your life. Are you amazed yet? We are blessed with the miracle of Life. I Am Alive! I Live! I Feel! I See! I Love!</p>
<p>Now, it&#8217;s time to start your own list.</p>
<p>I am Grateful for&#8230;</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>______________________</p>
<p>I assure you that the list will go on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>You might be wondering now how being grateful relates to the Law of Attraction? When we focus our attention in something either positive or negative we attract more of that in our lives. If you start expressing your gratitude for what you are expecting in your life like if it were already here, you are inviting that to manifest in your life.</p>
<p>So, let&#8217;s try that. Let&#8217;s make a list of everything we want to accomplish. Pretend it&#8217;s already here. Close your eyes and visualize yourself reaching that ideal weight, meeting your soul mate or improving your relationship with your significant other, finding your life&#8217;s purpose, the job you have always wanted, success, prosperity, etc. Then, add it to the prior &#8220;I am GRATEFUL for&#8221; list.</p>
<p>You can practice this exercise and review your list as often as you want.. Keep adding to your list. Remember, &#8220;you are entitled&#8221; to the blessings of the Universe.</p>
<p>This last statement takes me to the next step:</p>
<p>Recognizing your Worthiness.</p>
<p>Yes, we ALL are entitled to the blessings of the Universe. We tend to underestimate our worth, to think there are many things we must do or be to earn the right to access the unlimited source. What do you really need to do to receive it in your life? Recognize your worthiness. Recognize &#8220;Who you Are&#8221; instead of &#8220;What you Do&#8221; or &#8220;What you Have.&#8221;</p>
<p>You are a Loving Child of God and as a Child of God you are entitled to the Unconditional Love, Health, Abundance, Success, Wisdom and all you can think of.</p>
<p>Now stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself:</p>
<p>I am a Child of God and as a Child of God I am entitled to the Unconditional Love, Health, Abundance, Success, Wisdom&#8230;&#8221; (Add to your list according to what you expect in your life and that until now you had felt you were unworthy to receive.) Then open your arms and say: I welcome in my life the blessings of the Universe that I am entitled to as a Precious Child of God. I welcome the Health, Love, Abundance, Success, etc&#8221;. Don&#8217;t be surprised if you find resistance. You will get to the position where you will feel comfortable talking positively to yourself.</p>
<p>Third, even after you master the law of attraction you might experience negative issues in your life since they are part of the growth process. How can you deal with that and still have the Law of Attraction working with you instead of working against you? Dr. Wayne Dyer says: &#8220;Change the way you look at things and the things that you look at will change&#8221;. This is a wise statement. Even though, it might sound absurd, we have chosen the experiences we needed to go through in this life to help us grow and find the way back to our source and perfect nature. So, see how those experiences shape up your character and strengthen you. Learn the lesson, practice gratitude and finally &#8220;you will change the way you look at those things and those things you look at will change&#8221;.</p>
<p>And last, allow.</p>
<p>Trust the Universe, your Worthiness, the Law of Attraction, and &#8220;Be Still and Know that I am God.&#8221;</p>
<p>You will see your life unfolding the way you want it to. You will have perfect plans to accomplish your goals. The information and/or the persons you need to walk with you along the path will show up at the perfect time to successfully and easily reach every goal in your life.</p>
