Proof of God ..

Only a couple of hours ago, thought it would be nice to search the network this video ... My idea was materialized without special efforts..

We still do not understand much about the world, so almost every accidental discovery attribute to God. And God is in every human mind and reveals an understanding of the world in any series, to the extent of understanding of our world.

Enlightenment comes in many; the strongest desire as necessarily translated into reality for those people who want it very much and has sufficient strength to emerge.

Open another and this page - Kazan site - here you will find many interesting and useful information.

Not for nothing says: not given to everyone. Lazy people can be physically, but if it is laziness of mind - spiritual laziness - many are simply not given. These individuals are all lazy - lazy to think, too lazy to do that either, too lazy to make good, they just live as "more convenient".

It is easier to drift without troubling themselves somehow to sail, hoping to chance or to something else. Perhaps in God - conveniently?

So these individuals live, leaving no trace in this world without using donated to him by nature mental and physical abilities, sometimes not even felt the special gift.

Most often, the fact that they are lazy, they shorten their own lives themselves - their brain atrophy premature physical body grows old very quickly.

Even if they are not alcoholics, not drunkards, not smokers, and even - not drug addicts, inadequate rowdy, horrible, rude, etc. negative "personality" with a dysfunctional psyche.

Christmas

P razdnik Christ came to Ruc along with Christianity and became one of the two major Christian holidays. He said on December 25 (January 7, New Style). The date of Christ's birth is defined on 25 December, Catholics and Protestants and Orthodox on Jan. 7. 

Different numbers due to the fact that in 1582 Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar, called the "Gregorian", instead of Julian. 
The Gregorian calendar taught him the definition of a new style, and Julian - as the old. Orthodoxy has not adopted the new calendar (new style) and to this day enjoys the Julian (old style). 
The difference between the new and old style of every one hundred years increases by 1 day and in the XX century. is 13 days. Christmas is celebrated annually in the same numbers. Like all religious holidays, it is accompanied by only his peculiar traditions, rites, including cooking. 
In the Orthodox Church of the Nativity is the second holiday after Easter. Days of Christmas in every nation bear its name. In Britain - Carol in Germany - the holy night, in the Ukraine and Belarus - Christmas in Russia - Yuletide. 

Ended Christmas night, to begin the main celebration of Christmas - a holiday of peace, serenity, relaxation. This is one of their most cherished Christian holidays, which the whole Christian world celebrated with special reverence. Divine baby was born in Bethlehem, where the Virgin Mary and her husband, Joseph went from Nazareth to the census announced by the Roman emperor Augustus. The houses, inns and hotels in Bethlehem were filled with people who appeared on the census, and Mary and Joseph found shelter in a cave, only to cave, where the shepherds in bad weather zagonyadi herd. There, and was born the Savior of the world, and swaddled, was laid in the manger for straw. 

With regard to the culinary side, to the celebration was preparing a large quantity of meat products: goose, sausage, various rolls, flood dishes. Catholics traditional dish was Bigos - cabbage (it was prepared in advance). On the table put the vodka, liqueurs, cordials, wine. In those days went to the guests and invite you.

Three climactic winter holidays (Christmas, New Year's, Epiphany) coincide with the winter solstice and contains many ancient, pure folk traditions associated with the glorification of the power of the sun and its influence on the blessed land. At first glance it may seem that to prepare for Christmas is not under force. Of course, if you do everything in recent days, it is so. But for the feast prepared in advance, in many activities involved the whole family (cleaning the apartment, the decoration of Christmas trees, harvesting food, etc.). 
In the financial side, too, has its own specifics. Some dishes were prepared only once a year and only for Christmas (kutya, gingerbread, Medovikov, products with poppy seeds, honey). Nuts, raisins, candied fruit purchased in advance. Gifts prepared gradually. So everything is relative, and the joy of the holiday was not commensurate with the financial costs. 13 dishes for kuti at first glance seem a lot. But look, please, to the list of them and see for yourself that everything is available. Fed herring, fish, salad, red borscht, mushroom or fish soup, ears or patty with mushrooms, juicy, kutya or other dish with poppy seeds (for example, lazanki), roll with poppy seeds or poppy seed cake, gingerbread, Honey cake, cranberry jelly, fruit compote of dried fruits, apples, nuts, bread.

"Khala Ghor" Conference -2009

All Are Picture "Jol Chobi Khala Ghor" Enayet Bazar, Chittagong

The empirical formula of the medicine of poverty

Little big man: Professor Muhammad Yunus


"Welcome to Bangladesh, mam!" -
"Our country is beautiful, please!" - He continued proudly. I read something that is poor. Professor Muhammad Yunus, known as the man to defeat poverty, economists, bankers, and national hero in Bangladesh. He is famous for the fact that he was the first in the world have successfully used a system of microcredit, giving small long-term loans. Such loans are granted to entrepreneurs who have insufficient funds for their own traditional bank loans. Yunus is also the founder of the bank Grameen. In 2006, Yunus and his bank awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It starts, I think. Insufficient pomuchili me
In Bangladesh, Yunus - has long been known personality. After awarding the Nobel Peace Prize last year, he has become a national hero, and the entire world finally began to reckon with him, to his activities.

In 70 years, returning to their homeland from the United States, where he defended doktorstvo on the economy, Muhammad Yunus has been a professor at the University of Chittagong, a poor province in southern Bangladesh. He loved his job, but it has not helped the country. Reasonable theory, and exact statistics are not found confirmation in the surrounding reality. Outside the university campus - a real life of Bangladesh. Millions of people in terrible poverty: homeless, jobless, the children die at the hands of their mothers, not even handfuls of rice. Men are not men, but roaming skeletons, shadows. Prospects for these young people - the so-called Yunus - no, especially in the villages. It was believed that a small increase, fearful leanness, sunken eyes and hollow cheeks are not just a consequence of hunger, but also a sign of mental retardation.

They were in awe, care moneylenders. The poor agree to a loan and fatally podsazhivalsya to hook generous lender. Interest is very high, the duty to return the money could not be accounted for to give labor.

For example, the beggar was taken on loan for the purchase of penny for the production of bamboo baskets. It is penny, we are talking about money, which sometimes hesitate to raise from the ground. It is time to repay the loan, but need to go to town on the market - to sell manufactured products to their own money and there. No time. Usurer does not forgive the delay, selects the finished basket, and is engaged in sale of goods with excess. Poor flows into slavery.

University of Chittagong is situated outside the city. On the way to work every day Yunus, a young American traveling Dzhobru diploma - the typical village of Little People of Bangladesh. "When I got back from the States in 1972 - says Yunus - Bangladesh only became an independent country. In 1971, he seceded from Pakistan. In 1974, the country began hunger. I was a young teacher. People are dying in my eyes, and I do did not do to help. I thought: maybe I can do something for them. To do this, go to the people, be with him, talk to him, find out what you need. This has been quite simple. Every day after school I went on Dzhobre, communicate with people. I saw how they were exhausted cruelty moneylenders, and asked one of his students compile a list of villagers who took the money. The list turned out 42 of a total loan was only 27 dollars, I was shocked. Are there so many people suffer because of so little money. I realized that the problem is serious, but her decision obvious. We need to give these 42 borrowers with 27 dollars, that they returned to their uncle. It did, and worked. People were just happy, thankful. I became thinking, why not try to do more. Again made. I went to the bank at the university campus and offered to give poor credit. I was sure that for such a small amount of the bank would have no objection. But the bank did not agree. lend money to poor - is nonsense . bickered months, I have to credit - the bank against it. In the end, I suggested itself as the guardian of: himself will sign all the papers, get the money and distribute them to poor.
Poverty varies

Nobel Peace Prize for Yunus received the world last year. Thirty years ago he established a unique bank with the only type of activity: lending to the rural poor of Bangladesh. Yunus therefore referred to as a banker and the poor, and Grameen Bank in translation means «Village Bank».

Yunus was teaching economics at the university of his native city of Chittagong. Every day on the way to work he passed Dzhobra village. Circle of poverty, illiteracy, powerlessness. In this small village Younus, one might say, and has been the practice. He put the books on the economy on the shelf and began to study the problem of poverty as it is. In search of an answer to the question who is the really poor, Yunus realized it before do not have guessed the best sociologists, economists and politicians around the world: it is divided into categories of poor and was the classification of poverty. In his view, it was necessary to deal with each category separately, otherwise the less poor will inevitably displace poorer. Another common problem was that all the focus is usually on the male population, bearing in mind that among the poor have more children and women.

Dzhobra became Yunus Laboratory, where he revealed the empirical formula of the medicine of poverty. This formula has been simple as all genius: to watch how the other banks, and to do the opposite.

Conventional banks do not lend to poor people, find them insolvent, require guarantees and contracts do not provide loans to women who are waiting for customers in their offices in the cities.

«Grameen Bank», according to Yunus conviction, must reach the poor directly in each of its doors to offer direct help here and now. Mikropomosch in the form of micro credit. «Grameen» does not require legal safeguards for their clients, working on confidence and mainly with women in spite of the laws of Shariah.

Bangladeshi Independence day today 1971

The War for Bangladeshi Independence, 1971

On March 25, the Pakistan Army launched a terror campaign calculated to intimidate the Bengalis into submission. Within hours a wholesale slaughter had commenced in Dhaka, with the heaviest attacks concentrated on the University of Dhaka and the Hindu area of the old town. Bangladeshis remember the date as a day of infamy and liberation. The Pakistan Army came with hit lists and systematically killed several hundred Bengalis. Mujib was captured and flown to West Pakistan for incarceration.

To conceal what they were doing, the Pakistan Army corralled the corps of foreign journalists at the International Hotel in Dhaka, seized their notes, and expelled them the next day. One reporter who escaped the censor net estimated that three battalions of troops--one armored, one artillery, and one infantry--had attacked the virtually defenseless city. Various informants, including missionaries and foreign journalists who clandestinely returned to East Pakistan during the war, estimated that by March 28 the loss of life reached 15,000. By the end of summer as many as 300,000 people were thought to have lost their lives. Anthony Mascarenhas in Bangladesh: A Legacy of Blood estimates that during the entire nine-month liberation struggle more than 1 million Bengalis may have died at the hands of the Pakistan Army.

The West Pakistani press waged a vigorous but ultimately futile campaign to counteract newspaper and radio accounts of wholesale atrocities. One paper, the Morning News, even editorialized that the armed forces were saving East Pakistanis from eventual Hindu enslavement. The civil war was played down by the government-controlled press as a minor insurrection quickly being brought under control.

After the tragic events of March, India became vocal in its condemnation of Pakistan. An immense flood of East Pakistani refugees, between 8 and 10 million according to various estimates, fled across the border into the Indian state of West Bengal. In April an Indian parliamentary resolution demanded that Prime Minister Indira Gandhi supply aid to the rebels in East Pakistan. She complied but declined to recognize the provisional government of independent Bangladesh.

A propaganda war between Pakistan and India ensued in which Yahya threatened war against India if that country made an attempt to seize any part of Pakistan. Yahya also asserted that Pakistan could count on its American and Chinese friends. At the same time, Pakistan tried to ease the situation in the East Wing. Belatedly, it replaced Tikka, whose military tactics had caused such havoc and human loss of life, with the more restrained Lieutenant General A.A.K. Niazi. A moderate Bengali, Abdul Malik, was installed as the civilian governor of East Pakistan. These belated gestures of appeasement did not yield results or change world opinion.

On December 4, 1971, the Indian Army, far superior in numbers and equipment to that of Pakistan, executed a 3-pronged pincer movement on Dhaka launched from the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, and Tripura, taking only 12 days to defeat the 90,000 Pakistani defenders. The Pakistan Army was weakened by having to operate so far away from its source of supply. The Indian Army, on the other hand, was aided by East Pakistan's Mukti Bahini (Liberation Force), the freedom fighters who managed to keep the Pakistan Army at bay in many areas
