Iran’s president slams ‘foreign presence’ in Gulf


Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
TEHRAN: Iran’s president has slammed ”foreign presence” in the Persian Gulf, claiming it’s the source of insecurity in the region.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran has ”always guarded peace and security” in the Gulf and the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key waterway through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil supply passes.
Ahmadinejad says that “foreign presence has been main reason of insecurity in the region” — an apparent reference to Western nations and the US 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain.
Iran sees the large American-led naval presence as foreign military meddling in the Mideast. Ahmadinejad’s remarks — typical rhetoric from the president — came ahead of a military parade in Tehran on Thursday as Iran marks National Army Day.

North Korea outlines exacting terms for talks with U.S., South Korea


North Korea outlines exacting terms for talks with U.S., South Korea

North Korea on Thursday set out demanding conditions for any talks with Washington and Seoul, calling for the withdrawal of U.N. sanctions against it and a permanent end to joint U.S.-South Korean military exercises.
The United States and South Korea “should immediately stop all their provocative acts against the DPRK and apologize for all of them,” the North’s National Defense Commission said in a statement carried by state-run media, using the shortened version of North Korea’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The commission listed a number of “practical measures” it said the United States and South Korea should take if they want to avoid “sledge-hammer retaliatory blows of the army and people” of North Korea and if “they truly stand for dialogue and negotiations.”
But the nature of the demands, such as the lifting of the U.N. sanctions imposed after the North’s latest nuclear test, appeared to offer almost no chance of negotiations between the two sides amid heightened tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
“It is hard to understand North Korea’s claims,” Cho Tai-young, a spokesman for the South Korean foreign ministry, said at a news briefing. “They are preposterous.”

Hyeonseo Lee: My escape from North Korea
A torrent of unnerving threats from Pyongyang in recent weeks has strained already fragile relations in the region. The North’s rhetoric intensified when the U.N. Security Council voted last month to slap the tougher sanctions on the regime and amid the U.S.-South Korean military drills under way in South Korea at the moment.
The United States said this month that for it to enter talks, North Korea would have to show a serious commitment to moving away from its nuclear program, something the regime of Kim Jong Un insists it won’t do.
On Thursday, the North suggested that the United States would have to make the first move on the nuclear issue.
“They should bear in mind that the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can begin with the pullout of the nuclear war means introduced by the U.S. and this may lead to the global denuclearization,” the defense commission said.
North Korea has repeatedly described the annual military exercises taking place in South Korea as threats of nuclear war, singling out aspects of the drills like the practice mission flown by U.S. stealth bombers as evidence. The stealth bombers can carry conventional or nuclear weapons, but they used inert munitions in their training flight.
The United States says such displays of military strength during the drills were aimed at reassuring it allies in the region, not antagonizing the regime in Pyongyang.
President Barack Obama warned Kim Jong Un this week that the North’s threats against the United States and South Korea had only served to isolate the regime further.
“This is the same kind of pattern that we saw his father engage in and his grandfather before that,” Obama said in an interview with NBC News broadcast Tuesday, referring to the two previous North Korean leaders Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung.
“Since I came into office, the one thing I was clear about was, we’re not going to reward this kind of provocative behavior. You don’t get to bang your spoon on the table and somehow you get your way,” he said.

ایک تازہ ترین طبی تحقیق کے مطابق اگر آپ اپنا وزن کم رکھنا چاہتے ہیں تو بھاری بھر کم ناشتہ کریں۔ طبی ماہرین اور سائنسدانوں کے مطابق روزانہ بھاری ناشتہ جسم میں چکنائی کو کم کرتا ہے۔ ایسے افراد جو ناشتے میں اپنی دن بھر کی نصف خوراک کھاجاتے ہیں ان کا وزن معمولی ناشتہ کرنے والوں کے مقابلے میں زیادہ تیزی سے کم ہوتا ہے۔ تحقیق کے مطابق ناشتے کا بڑا حصہ آپ کے جسم میں چربی نہیں بناتا‘ تاہم کوشش یہ ہونی چاہیے کہ آپ کا ناشتہ پروٹین اور کاربوہائیڈریٹ پر مشتمل ہو۔ اس سے باقی دن آپ کو میٹھی اور نشاستہ دار غذا کی طلب نہیں ہوتی بلکہ توانائی تمام دن کیلئے برقرار رہتی ہے۔ مذکورہ تحقیق 100 سے زائد افراد کی ناشتے کی عادت کے مطالعے کا نتیجہ ہے۔ تحقیق کے پہلے چار ماہ کے عرصے میں کم کاربوہائیڈریٹ والی خوراک کھانے والوں نے تیزی سے وزن کم کیا جبکہ آٹھ ماہ کے عرصے کے بعد بھرپور ناشتہ کرنے والوںکے وزن میں دوبارہ اضافے کی رفتار کم کاربوہائیڈریٹ لینے والوں کے مقابلے میں کم رہی۔
بعض لوگوں سے صبح سویرے اٹھتے ہی ناشتہ نہیں کیا جاتا‘ ایسے لوگ زیادہ سے زیادہ چائے کا ایک کپ پی کر اپنی تکان اتار لیتے ہیں۔ لوگوں کی اکثریت اس بات سے ناواقف ہے کہ صبح سویرے ناشتہ صحت کیلئے کس قدر مفید اور چائے کتنی نقصان دہ ہے۔ صبح خالی پیٹ چائے کے استعمال سے معدے میں تیزابیت کے خطرات دُگنے ہوتے ہیں اور سارا دن طبیعت بوجھل رہتی ہے۔ اسی وجہ سے صبح کے وقت بغیر کچھ کھائے پیے چائے کے استعمال سے پرہیز ضروری ہے۔ خالی پیٹ اپنے دن کا آغاز کرنا بہت بڑی غلطی ہے اس لیے صبح کے ناشتے پر خصوصی اہتمام کیا جانا چاہیے
