Eid al-Adha in the Gregorian calendar

While Eid al-Adha is always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the date on the Gregorian calendar varies from year to year since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. The lunar calendar is approximately eleven days shorter than the solar calendar. Each year, Eid al-Adha (like other Islamic holidays) falls on one of two different Gregorian dates in different parts of the world, due to the fact that the boundary of crescent visibility is different from the International date line.




The following list shows the official dates of Eid al-Adha for Saudi Arabia as announced by the Supreme Judicial Council. Future dates are calculated according to the Umm al-Qura calendar of Saudi Arabia.[6] The three days after the listed date are also part of the festival. The time before the listed date the pilgrims visit the Mount Arafat and descend from it after sunrise of the listed day. Future dates of Eid al-Adha might face correction 10 days before the festivity, in case of deviant lunar sighting in Saudi Arabia for the start of the month Dhul Hijja.

Apart from the moral support there are many factors responsible for the success; one of these factors is good nourished diet.


Diet Rich In Nutrition, Also Plays a Significant Role To Success

When we talk about nutritional diet, we consider fully nourished diet which is essential for one’s growth, mentally as well as physically. It is very important to consume healthy diet as it provides energy to work and to think for longer hours, also to strengthen the grasping power and help to keep the brain cool in extreme circumstances.

Parents should take the extreme steps if required regarding their nutrition diet. Most of the children in the school have hard time to go, as they have to perform various activities. And ingestion of nutritional food becomes a major task regarding growth and development.

Special Nutrition Care Must Be Taken Of Small One’s And Teenagers

Kids & adult are small enough to look after their food nutrition. Therefore special care must be given to them as it is their primary stage of development.
The diet follows the following routine:

The morning diet includes breakfast, which provides energy to the body early morning. As the last food intake was the before night dinner, and the body has been without any food since fortnight. The breakfast will supply required energy to the body till lunch and will help to gain the power to forward the work ahead.
Usually in the morning one feel empty stomach, and needs to stimulate the body by consuming nutritious breakfast.

A child practices various activities, right from the time he or she is awake. One’s breakfast can contain a dough nut with a glass of milk which will stimulate the child’s brain to attend the morning arithmetic or mental studies lecture in the school. Therefore it becomes extreme important to be energized by consuming nutritional diet.

Following Aspects Help In Making The Food More Nutritious:

Always see to it that the offered luxurious food is well versed, rich in nutrition and offer options to the breakfast. As eating habits often depend on one’s mood, it is important to offer choice. Make maximum use of nutritious drinks, like shakes prepared from all types of fruit’s, avoid using essence and artificial food colors. Fruits like orange, pineapple, banana, etc. may provide good source of nutrition. Bread with butter imparts good stimulus for the body. Even breakfast including sandwiches containing fresh green vegetables, and slices of cheese provide a healthy source of fuel to the body. Try mixed fresh fruit custard to take after breakfast or even after lunch. Include mostly the colorful and enjoyable but nutritious food for the kids.

Meal

After a tiring time in the school children rush home and are ready to take anything which is available in the refrigerator. According to the studies this mentality of the children is found mostly in those children who’ s both the parents are to the job, and have no other option left to quit their hunger. In such cases, parents should fulfill their responsibility by preparing good, nutritious and healthy food, which their children may enjoy as well.

After meal it is important to take nutritious drinks like fruit juices to ease digestion. Healthy food containing egg, fish (rich in vitamins), meat, can provide a good source of nutrition. Avoid canned food which may be harm the body weight, as it may decrease the nutrition value of the food.
One can use some liter foodstuffs for who took heavy breakfast and has little hunger left. For that purpose one can provide some eatables like popcorns, smooth salty biscuits, yogurt, even milk products, fruit cocktail, coconut chips, banana chips etc.

Paste list on the refrigerator giving information about the food, snacks etc. Let the child help himself or herself to search for the food it want. Prepare the sandwiches or cookery product of attractive shapes, to fascinate the children, so that they may enjoy the food.
It is certain that when a child has entered the routine diet, there is possibility that it becomes accustomed with the regular diet.

Avoid Enjoying Junk Food:


As junk food is the high source of fats and has a minimum quantity of nutritional values, one should keep away from it. Though it taste pleasant but the ultimate result is; increase in fatness; low nutritional intake causes dullness, inactiveness.

But today’s first choice for younger generation is this so called fast food, which is increasing fast in youth. As per the majority demand, even the restaurants are motivating towards these foodstuffs. The canteens are loosing the demands of nutritious food. It is very pathetic, to know that the future generation, is becoming more prone to these junk foodstuffs rather than the nutritious one.

5 Tips On Public Speaking

If you have a speech to deliver and need to overcome a bad case of stage fright, here are some tips from professional speakers.

1. Nothing will ever replace rehearsal. The underlying cause of most speech anxiety is a lack of confidence, either in the material's reception or your own delivery. The best cure for this anxiety is practice, practice, practice. When an actor has his lines memorized to the point he can recite them in his sleep, the real performance begins. The same holds true with your presentation. Once you get past the words, which only rehearsal can do, then you can move on to the meaning behind those words. When you have a high level of confidence in your material and your delivery, then your anxiety level should come way down.

2. Don't visualize the audience in their underwear, or anything else for that matter. This old nugget of advice tried to convince nervous speakers to spread their anxieties by imagining the audience in a similarly awkward state. Current thinking shies away from such visualizations, because they do nothing to help the speaker relate to the audience in a mature fashion. Instead, you should visualize the most receptive audience in the world, waiting eagerly to hear your inspired speech. Picture a room full of the best teachers you ever had, beaming with pride. Whatever you visualize, keep it positive and dignified.

3. Too much nervous energy is too much. If your anxiety level is still too high after all your rehearsal and preparation, then you need to find an outlet for that energy. Many professional actors and public speakers find that doing light calisthenic exercises in their dressing rooms or a private area can relieve the excess energy. Try running in place, or shaking your arms and legs. Go out for a quick run somewhere, or punch a boxing bag. The trick is to release enough nervous energy to calm your anxieties, but not leave you so stress-free that your speech suffers.
Some nervousness is a good thing, because it shows you really care about the speech and the audience. The best speeches are delivered by nervous people.

4. If at all possible, stand on the exact area where you will be giving your speech later. Notice what you can see and what you can't see from that perspective. What sort of podium will you be standing behind? How well do the microphones work, and how are the acoustics? Immersing yourself in these details may help keep your mind off your stage fright. Become comfortable with the feel and atmosphere of the stage you're on. Some speakers are surprised to learn how limited their view of the audience really is when all the stage lights are turned on. What you might fear as a group of faces staring at you in judgement may just turn out to be an anonymous group of shadows.

5. If you do find yourself becoming overcome with anxiety during a speech, all is not lost. Take a brief moment to collect your thoughts. Drink a sip of water. You might even 'admit' your case of nerves to the audience, in an off-handed and humorous way. Most of the audience members have the same fears of speaking that you do, and may empathize with a polite round of applause or words of encouragement. Above all, try not to abandone your well-rehearsed plans. Find a logical re-starting point in your speech and start from there. Having an audience fully behind you and your words of wisdom can be the best cure of all for anxiety and stage fright.

10 Tips for Public Speaking


Feeling some nervousness before giving a speech is natural and even beneficial, but too much nervousness can be detrimental.

Here are some proven tips on how to control your butterflies and give better presentations:

  1. Know your material. Pick a topic you are interested in. Know more about it than you include in your speech. Use humor, personal stories and conversational language – that way you won’t easily forget what to say.
  2. Practice. Practice. Practice! Rehearse out loud with all equipment you plan on using. Revise as necessary. Work to control filler words; Practice, pause and breathe. Practice with a timer and allow time for the unexpected.
  3. Know the audience. Greet some of the audience members as they arrive. It’s easier to speak to a group of friends than to strangers.
  4. Know the room. Arrive early, walk around the speaking area and practice using the microphone and any visual aids.
  5. Relax. Begin by addressing the audience. It buys you time and calms your nerves. Pause, smile and count to three before saying anything. ("One one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand. Pause. Begin.) Transform nervous energy into enthusiasm.
  6. Visualize yourself giving your speech. Imagine yourself speaking, your voice loud, clear and confident. Visualize the audience clapping – it will boost your confidence.
  7. Realize that people want you to succeed. Audiences want you to be interesting, stimulating, informative and entertaining. They’re rooting for you.
  8. Don’t apologize for any nervousness or problem – the audience probably never noticed it.
  9. Concentrate on the message – not the medium. Focus your attention away from your own anxieties and concentrate on your message and your audience.
  10. Gain experience. Mainly, your speech should represent you — as an authority and as a person. Experience builds confidence, which is the key to effective speaking. A Toastmasters club can provide the experience you need in a safe and friendly environment.

Healthy Homemade Cake Recipe Tips

When baking with butter:
Room-temperature butter in the cake batter is one of the biggest cake baking mistakes. In fact, butter must be below 68°F to trap air molecules and build structure. Otherwise, the fat will liquefy and the cake will be flat. To get “cool” butter: Cut the chilled butter into chunks and let it sit in a bowl for 5 minutes before beating.

When mixing cake batter:
You cannot overbeat the eggs, sugar and butter, but you can overbeat the flour. If you do, gluten will form and you will be making a quick bread instead of a layer cake. Beat the flour just until there are no visible signs of dry flour, but not until the batter is completely smooth.

Cake flour:
Cake flour is milled from soft wheat that has a lower gluten content and higher starch content than all-purpose flour. It helps to ensure a fluffy texture in cakes and pastries. A substitute for cake flour is to use all-purpose flour, but reduce the amount by 2 tablespoons per cup.

Tips

Baking Tips for Fabulous Gluten-Free Bread

  • Have all the dry ingredients at room temperature.
  • Water should be 110 to 115 degrees F (too cool and the yeast won't rise; too hot and the yeast will die).
  • Yeast should be fresh- check the expiration date.
  • After a minute or two of mixing, open the machine and scrape down the sides of the pan with a soft spatula to help incorporate the bits of flour on the edges; I had to do this twice.
  • Immediately after the mixing/kneading cycle was finished I reached in and removed the paddle; then smoothed and pressed the dough and with wet fingers to even out the shape. It's not necessary to do this; I just prefer removing the paddle from the loaf ahead of time.
  • When the dough was resting I sprinkled a generous tablespoon of sesame seeds all over the top.
  • When the machine beeped "done". I immediately removed the pan from the hot machine, and within a minute released the bread from the pan (if you don't do this, it steams and gets a bit soggy) and placed it on a wire rack to do the thump test. It should sound hollow when tapped. And the loaf should feel firm (not squishy).
  • I thought the sides were a tad soft so I placed the naked loaf directly into the oven- on the center rack- and turned on the temp to 350 degrees. I baked it for another 12 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on it. When I tapped the bread it sounded hollow. The crust was crusty. Done.
  • Cool the loaf on a wire rack. Slice when cooled with a sharp serrated knife. (If you don't wait for the loaf to cool the bread will not slice evenly.)
  • I am thinking this bread would make fabulous burger buns and pizza crust.
  • A note regarding altitude. At high altitude- you may only need one egg's worth of egg replacer. Experiment.
  • Readers sometimes ask if they can lessen either the oil or the sweetener in a recipe- in this case, I'd suggest, no. What really makes this bread tender and not crumbly is the give it gets from the honey and oil. When you don't use eggs or butter, you need to boost the stickiness factor- and flavor. That's why I use good tasting olive oil and honey (agave would work).
  • Yes, you could use real eggs in this recipe- I don't see why not. Beat two large happy organic free-range eggs.
  • If you find the center sinking, the dough may be too wet. Use less liquid- start with a tablespoon or two less liquid. If you use milk or non-dairy milk instead of water this could produce a denser loaf as well.
  • If the bread is gummy in the center use less honey or agave; both are humectant. If you use flax seed gel as an egg replacer, this can also create a gummy dough.
