The premium car Jaguar XF, which is powered by a
3.0 litre V6 cylinder, will be sold in the country as a completely built
unit (CBU). Jaguar's six-speed ZF 6HP28 automatic transmission can
accelerate the Diesel-S from 0-100 kmph in just 6.4 seconds.
“The launch comes after we received a
huge response to our XF's petrol version. We have received a pre-launch
booking of 60 cars,' said Rohit Suri, head - premier car division,
Jaguar and Land Rover, India. 'The new Diesel XF introduced in India has
been customized by Jaguar engineers for the Indian market and adapted
for Indian conditions,' said the company statement.
Jaguar is also in the process of
developing 10 more dealerships in major cities of India. Jaguar Land
Rover will also begin assembling Land Rover models
in India from the middle of next year, said Suri. The company had
already begun setting up the plant, he said without elaborating on the
stage of construction, cost, or its location. In the last fiscal, Jaguar
and Land Rover cumulatively sold 242 units in India
"We are in the process of establishing
our network, so we are not disclosing any target at this point of
time... We hope to do very well,” said Tata Motors Head (Premier Car Division) Rohit Suri.
KARNATAKA: State-run nuclear power utility, Nuclear Power
Corporation of India, plans to add two more units of 700 megawatts (mw)
each at the Kaiga Atomic Power Station in Karnataka, company officials
said on Saturday after the commissioning of the fourth unit at the
plant.
With the commissioning of
the indigenously-developed 220 MW Unit-4, India’s nuclear power capacity
has risen to 4,780 mw. The fourth unit achieved criticality, or ability
to sustain stable reactions and steady power supply, at 8.07.22 am on
Saturday and would start commercial generation in two months.
The Unit – 4 at Kaiga was constructed a few years back but
could not be commissioned due to lack of supply of Uranium fuel. The
unit tied up Uranium supply from domestic sources earlier this year.
Currently, the first three units at the Kaiga plant are running at 70%
capacity due to shortage of fuel.
“We would like to raise the capacity of the first three units to 100%
and add two more units at Kaiga,” Jain said. The fifth and the sixth
pressurized heavy water reactors at the plant may be of 700 mw each.
“Our site selection committee has evaluated the option of setting up two
more reactors at Kaiga and has concluded it’s suitable. We await
government approval,” said Chairman and Managing Director Shreyans Kumar
Jain.
Nuclear Power Corp is
currently setting up four pressurized heavy water reactors of 700 mw
each. Two of these are at Kakrapar in Gujarat, while the other two are
at Rawatbhata in Rajasthan. “We are currently working on four units, by
March we hope to start work on four more,” Jain said.

Each of the religions
of the world has its own culture, with many customs, traditions and refined
qualities. The Hindu culture is a culture of love, respect, honoring others and
humbling one's own ego so that the inner nature, which is naturally pure and modest,
will shine forth. Here we have described some of the important faith and
behaviors of Hindu community.
RESPECT AND REVERENCE
1. RESPECT FOR
ELDERS: Respect for elders is a keystone of Hindu culture. This genuine
acknowledgment of seniority is demonstrated through endearing customs, such as
sitting to the left of elders, bringing gifts on special occasions, not sitting
while they are standing, not speaking excessively, not yawning or stretching,
not putting one's opinions forward strongly, not contradicting or arguing,
seeking their advice and blessings, giving them first choice in all matters,
even serving their food first.
2. NAME PROTOCOL:
Younger never uses the proper name of their elders. In the Tamil tradition, a
younger brother, for example, refers to his brother as annan, or periannan
(older brother), not by name. The elder, however, may use the name of the
younger. Children are trained to refer to all adults as auntie or uncle. Only
people of the same age will address each other by first name. A Hindu wife
never speaks the name of her husband. When referring to him she uses terms such
as "my husband," "him" or, for example, "Athan, Mama,
etc.,".
3. TOUCHING FEET IN
RESPECT: One touches the feet of holy men and women in recognition of their great
humility and inner attainment. A dancer or a musician touches the feet of his
or her teacher before and after each lesson. Children prostrate and touch the
feet of their mother and father at festivals and at special times, such as
birthdays and before departing on a journey.
4. Darshan
(darshana): "Vision, sight." Seeing the Divine. Beholding, with inner
or outer vision, a temple image, Deity, holy person or place, with the desire
to inwardly contact and receive the grace and blessings of the venerated being
or beings.
5. DAKSHINA: It is
tradition to provide dakshina, a monetary fee or gift to a priest given at the
completion of any rite. Dakshina is also given to gurus as a token of respect
for their spiritual blessings.
Purity
Purity and its opposite,
pollution, are vitally important in Hindu culture. Purity is of three forms --
purity in mind, speech and body, or thought, word and deed. Purity is the
pristine and natural state of the soul. Impurity, or pollution, is the
obscuring of this state by adulterating experience and beclouding conceptions.
In daily life, the
Hindu strives to protect this innate purity by wise living, following the codes
of dharma. This includes harnessing the sexual energies, associating with other
virtuous Hindu devotees, never using harsh, angered or indecent language, and
keeping a clean and healthy physical body. Here are several ways purity is
preserved in Hindu culture.
1.PURITY AND FOOD:
Purity is central to food and nutrition, as the nature of one's nourishment deeply
affects the entire physical, mental and emotional nature. One cooking food for
others would never taste of the dish from a spoon and then put the spoon back
in the pot. If food is to be tasted while cooking, a small portion is placed in
the right hand. Similarly, one would not touch the lips to a water vessel that
is also used by others. Nor would one offer something to another from which one
has taken a bite or a sip.
2. FLOWER OFFERINGS:
One does not sniff flowers picked for offering to the Deities; even the smell
is for the Gods, not for us. Flowers that fall to the ground should not be
offered.
3. OFFERINGS:
Offerings, such as an archana basket, flowers or garlands, are carried with
both hands on the right side of the body, so as to not be breathed on. All
items are washed in preparation and, if carried more than a short distance,
wrapped or covered.
4. THE LEFT HAND: In
Hindu culture the left hand is considered impure because it is used (with
water) in the place of toilet paper for personal hygiene after answering the
call of nature. Handing another person anything with the left hand may be
considered a subtle insult.
5. SHOES: Shoes are
considered impure. The cultured Hindu never wears shoes or sandals inside a
temple or shrine, nor in his home or the homes of other Hindus. Carrying shoes
in the hands from one part of the premises to another is also avoided. An
ultimate insult is to be struck with a shoe.
6. CAUTION WITH
FOOTWEAR: It is very important to apologize immediately if one touches someone
with his or her shoe or sandal. This is done by touching the right hand to
where the foot touched the other person and then touching one's right hand
lightly to his own left eye and then the right. This same remedy applies to
inadvertently hitting someone with the hand or foot or bumping into him or her.
EXCHANGE OF PRANA
1. GIVING AND
RECEIVING WITH BOTH HANDS: Giving and accepting things from one to another,
presenting offerings to the Deity, etc., is most properly done with both hands.
The reason for this is that with the gift, prana is also given through both
hands, thus endowing more energy to the object. The recipient of the gift
receives it with both hands along with the prana from the gracious giver. It is
known that this exchange of energies is vital for friendship, harmony and the
total release of the gift to the recipient. Hindus never accept gifts from
strangers or unknown persons.
2. Hugging and
Embracing: Hugging and embracing is found in Hindu culture; but it is
restricted to close relatives, Guru/disciples and associates that too in a
private place. In Mahabharatha and Ramayana we find this very often. Hugging
and Embracing improves pranic energy and this practice is not allowed with
strangers.
3. NOT POINTING THE
FINGER: Pointing with the forefinger of the right hand or shaking the
forefinger in emphasis while talking is never done. This is because the right
hand possesses a powerful, aggressive pranic force, and an energy that moves
the forces of the world. Pointing the index finger channels that force into a
single stream. The harshness of this energy would be severely felt in the nerve
system of the recipient. More properly, rather than pointing or shaking the
index finger to give direction or emphasize a verbal statement, the entire hand
is used as a pointer, with the palm up and the thumb held alongside the
forefinger.
4. SHAKING HANDS: The
traditional way that Hindu men greet one another is with the anjali mudra,
then, with palms still held together, extending their hands to one another, in
a two-handed handshake, in a deliberate transfer of prana. The hands of one
man, usually the less senior, are gently clasped between the other's. Each
looks smilingly into the other's face while bowing slightly in humility. This
handshake is not firm, but relaxed and gentle.
5. NOT THROWING
THINGS: Throwing any object on another person is considered extremely improper,
even if the persons know each other very well. Cultured Hindus consider this
crude and even mildly violent, even if done in efficiency or jest.
6. CARE IN SITTING:
It is improper to sit with one's legs outstretched toward a temple, shrine or
altar, or even toward another person. This is a grave insult. Crossing one leg
over the knee when sitting in a chair should be avoided, though crossing at the
ankles is permitted. One must always try to follow the example of traditional
elders. Worshiping, meditating or sitting in the kneeling pose is not
acceptable among Hindus.
7. DOORWAYS:
Conversations are not held inside or through doorways. This is considered
inauspicious. Similarly, to exchange or give or lend an object, one-steps
inside the room first, or the recipient steps out of the room so that both
parties are in the same room.
MODESTY
1.MODESTY:
Interaction in public between men and women is much more restrained in Hindu
culture than in Western culture. In Hindu culture, for the most part, men
socialize with men, and women with women. Men never touch women in public
unless the lady is very elderly or infirm.
2.DISPLAYING
AFFECTION: Married Hindu couples do not hug, hold hands or kiss in public. Even
embracing at airports and train stations is considered not wise. Men, however,
frequently walk hand in hand.
THE ROLE OF WOMEN
In traditional Hindu
culture, women are held in the highest regard -- far more respected, in truth,
than in the West. But this does not imply the kind of equality or participation
in public interactions that are common in the West. The qualities traditionally
most admired in a Hindu woman are modesty of manner, shyness and
self-effacement. Self-assertive or bold tendencies are regarded with
circumspection. Feminine refinements are expressed and protected in many
customs, including the following:
1. WOMANLY RESERVE:
In mixed company especially in the presence of strangers, a Hindu woman will
keep modestly in the background and not participate freely in conversation.
This, of course, does not apply to situations among family and close
associates.
2. WALKING BEHIND
ONE'S HUSBAND: The wife walks a step or two behind her husband, or if walking
by his side, a step or two back, always giving him the lead. In the West, the
reverse of this is often true.3. SERVING AT MEALS: At meals women follow the
custom of serving the men first before enjoying their own meal.
4. CHAPERONING: It is
customary for a woman to always be accompanied when she leaves the home. Living
alone, too, is unusual.
5. WOMEN IN PUBLIC:
Generally it is improper for women to speak with strangers on the street and
especially to strike up a casual conversation. Similarly, drinking alcohol or
smoking in public, no matter how innocent, are interpreted as a sign of moral
laxity and are not acceptable.
GUESTS IN THE HOME
1. HOME VISITS: Close
friends can visit one another anytime without being announced or making
arrangements first. When they drop in, at least a refreshing drink is always
served.
2. HOSTING GUESTS:
Children generally leave the room, with a smile, when guests enter. The mother
remains close by to serve as needs arise. The father, if present, will speak
with the guest. If he is not present, the mother and a mature son will fulfill
this role; and if no son is present, the mother may act as hostess, but only
with the accompaniment of someone close to the family.
3. WIFE HOME ALONE:
If the lady of the house is in home alone and a male visitor comes to see her
husband, it is not proper for her to invite him in, nor for him to expect to
enter. Rather, he will leave a message and depart.
4. GIVING GIFTS:
Gifts are always given when one visits a home or stays overnight as a guest.
The value of the gift varies greatly, depending upon circumstances. It is
proper to give a separate gift for the wife and the husband. The wife is given
the nicest item.
BODY LANGUAGE
All Hindus know that
"Life is meant to be lived joyously!" All is God, and God is
everywhere and in all things. This understanding and appreciation is
exemplified in every aspect of Hindu deportment.
1. KINDLY WORDS AND
COUNTENANCE: Hindus strive to keep a pleasant expression on their face, a
gentle smile and a kind word for everyone they meet through the day. They know
in their heart of hearts that God is everywhere and that all in the universe is
perfect at every point in time. This knowledge gives them strength and courage
to face their daily karmas positively and graciously.
2. REFINED GESTURES:
Hindus know that every movement of the body, the face, hands, eyes, mouth,
head, etc., has a meaning. Youth are taught to be sensitive to the thoughts and
feelings of others in their body language.
3. EYES: Eyes are
also a primary means of communicating, and the meanings are fairly
straightforward. They usually indicate degrees of interest in what the speaker
is saying. Smiling with your eyes as well as your mouth conveys sincerity.
There are three levels of smiling (and infinite shades and degrees in between).
Having the eyes open only slightly indicates mild interest. Eyes more open and
a bigger smile indicates more interest and enthusiasm. Having the eyes open
wide with a big smile or nod, possibly accompanied by some verbal expression,
indicates greater interest or great happiness.

After weight-loss surgery, your long-term success will be
determined by your commitment to exercise and healthy eating.
While your diet will incorporate a wide variety of foods, nearly
all of your exercise – regardless of your health – will begin
with one simple activity: walking. Though walking is often taken
for granted, a deeper understanding of the activity can yield
remarkable weight-loss results.
Here are several ways you can
turn a seemingly simple activity into an effective
calorie-burning workout.
Talk to your doctor
Before you begin a regular regimen of walking or any other form
of exercise, you should consult your physician. Your doctor will
be able to tell you what types of activities are best for your
health and help you structure a healthy walking schedule that
fits your needs.
Use a pedometer
A pedometer is one of the best tools you can use to both
encourage and organize your walking habits. This incredibly
affordable device will keep track of your steps throughout the
day, allowing you to see how your daily habits affect your
movement. After your competitive impulses kick in, you will want
to top your number of steps each day. After remaining committed
over time, you will also notice your walking totals increasing
hand-in-hand with your weight loss numbers.
Keep a journal
The easiest way to keep track of your steps and compare your
daily results is the creation of a journal. Beyond a catalog of
your walks and the steps counted on your pedometer, you can use
your journal to document your exercise, meals and weight-loss
results. As weight-loss surgeons often recommend keeping a
journal after surgery to encourage healthy eating habits, adding
your walking and exercise results in one convenient book will
help you simplify your entire routine. http://hallosushant.blogspot.com/
Dress the part
When getting ready to walk or exercise, it can be very helpful
to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. By wearing garments
that promote healthy movement, you will be more inspired to push
on during your walks. More importantly, you should always wear
supportive athletic shoes when exercising or walking. Failing to
wear the right shoes could not only end your walk early, it
could lead to injury and potentially the end of your healthy
routine. And don't forget to include sunscreen as part of your
walking attire!
Work on your posture
Much as the right pair of shoes will help you avoid injury,
practicing good posture while walking can allow you to extend
your workouts and limit your downtime. To avoid back pain and
make the most of your walking, focus on standing up straight
without arching your back or leaning forward. Next, keep your
chin up and try to suck in your stomach and behind. Lastly,
relax your shoulders by shrugging and letting your arms fall to
your sides naturally.
Move your arms
While you are walking, swinging your arms will help you
maintain your good posture and burn a few extra calories along
the way. You might also notice that using your arms while
walking can propel you forward, helping you maximize your
workout and hit your weight-loss targets.
Get warmed up
Before setting out on a walk or beginning an exercise routine,
you should always warm up to prolong your energy and prevent
injury. Prior to walking, you should perform some simple
movements that allow you to stretch your arms and legs. As you
merely want to prepare your muscles for walking, your warm up
does not need to be strenuous.
Cool yourself down
After you have finished walking, you should stretch again to
ward off the pains and cramps that often follow exercise. More
importantly, a healthy stretching regimen – both before and
after walking – will allow you to maintain your exercise
schedule for the long term. Obviously, if pain or injuries
prevent you from walking or exercising, you will burn fewer
calories and find it far more difficult to meet your weight-loss
goals.
When thinking about the exercise required to meet weight-loss
goals, it is important to remember that your activities don't
need to be complicated or difficult to perform. In fact, the
tips outlined here will allow you to build an entire exercise
regimen out of nothing but walking. When the time comes to try
new sports and activities, you can then use all of the skills
you developed while walking to take both your weight loss and
healthy lifestyle to the next level.

About The Author: Carole S. Guinane, a Chief Clinical Officer

[http://www.newhopet oday.com].
Because a fitness professional, I ' m always agitated ( and
puzzled ) with the conflict people seem to have eclipse losing
weight, yet they refuse to control eating junk food. An
interesting device I have noticed because my multitudinous years
helping people to lose weight is that nearly every single person
that has told me that they are " attempting " to lose weight,
partly always has their house filled stifle plenary sorts of
junk food instead of whole unprocessed natural food.
It is not uncommon for people to tell me that they are
herculean really hard to lose weight, but I leave still notice
boxes of nature jacks and fruity pebbles on their counters,
cakes, candies, and long green fame their cupboard, and sodas or
syrupy juices in their refrigerator.
So the issue that always stumps me is that if all of these
people honestly imperative to lose weight so bad, why character
the world do most people pacific retain their houses filled with
junk foods instead of healthy food?
Interestingly, the answer usually is that they do not want to
shell out upping their favorite foods since they image that
eating this junk food allows them to " live a infinitesimal "...
if you ask me, it sounds more cognate dying a little disguise
each subsistence!
My take on it is that eating junk foods has nothing at unitary
to do with enjoying your lifeblood... In reality, when you
donate up junk foods you actually enjoy sparkle more considering
you feel better and are more energetic every day. In supplement,
getting into fitter habitus by not eating junk food can
obviously help look up the way your body looks ( and therefrom
increases your confidence ), thereby making you enjoy growth
matching more.
One thing that many people fail to realize is that eating
healthy does not retain to mean eating bland and boring food.
Instead, when you learn to enjoy natural unprocessed food and
start exploring all of the varieties of natural food that this
planet has to offer us, you learn that you can take to the
natural flavors of real foods more than overly processed
aggressive tastes that are so usual hold back excessively sweet
and salty junk food.
An exemplar of this is that the other day I required an
unsweetened icebox tea while out on the reaching, but uncut that
the store had available was these bottles of heavily honeyed
iced tea. Well, I have not bought a fully toothsome arctic
carousing in probably at least a few dotage now... I have
actually gotten used to drinking unsweetened raw tea and have
scholarly to appreciate the natural taste of reception without
needing sugar or mismated sweeteners.
When I drank this bottled sweet jig, I almost gagged because it
was so like sugar luscious, it was positively revolting.
A uniform example... I used to need a lot of sugar in coffee,
but after a slowly reducing the amount of sugar I would use in
coffe, I can immediately actually drink black coffee and enjoy
the natural flavor of it off-course needing sweeteners (
although I seldom drink coffee ).
These are just a couple examples of how once you start
appreciating the natural flavors of real food, you find that you
no longer need the best - aggressive salty, sugary, or
artificial flavors that have been ingrained juice us by the food
companies and exhaustive of the junk food they push on us.
My mind is that everyone should actually dig what they eat, and
can do it without eating overly processed junk food... Actually,
people are much surprised to recognize that a fit-out of the
foods that they think are junk food, I keep healthy alternatives
that they never thought of.
A few examples:
Junk food: a chocolate candy bar, a chocolate donut, or a piece
of chocolate cake
Healthier alternative:
A couple pieces of extra - shaded
chocolate (greater than 70 - 75 % cocoa sparkling one shot)...
this is higher in fiber and much less salutation than milk
chocolate or even dark chocolates that are less than 70% cocoa
content
Junk food: Deep fried and breaded chicken fingers and fries on
the side ( loads of revolting trans fats )
Healthier alternative:
Grilled chicken breast strips protect
peanut dipping relish and vegetables on the side
Junk food: a cheap rapidly - food burger on a refined refined
white bun
Healthier option:
A grass - fed burger ( also in CLA and omega
- 3 fats ) tuck away unfinished grass - fed cheese on a sprouted
habit gold
How about that for eating healthier hereafter civil very tasty
foods!
I hope that what you get out of this fiction is that
acknowledged is more to life than eating junk food, and eating
junk does not necessarily rapacious that you ' re " living a
little " as so many people say. Instead, I feel the opposite is
true.
Eat healthier and sense the natural flavors of real foods ( not
processed ) and you ' ll soon come across that you no longer
need junk food. Enjoy!
