What should you know about the "WESTERN MEDIA"

What is "WESTERN MEDIA" ?
           

So, first of all lets start with the definition of "western media".

"The  Western media refers to the news media of the Western world.It evolved during the second world war to counter the media of Soviet Union".
For example, the leading NEWS channels in USA are CNN, FOX NEWS, etc.And the popular NEWS papers are Washington post, The News, etc.

                                         What we think that the main goal of this media is freedom of speech, to inform people whats going on around the world and get to the truth.But what people don't know is how politicized this media is and what they really want to achieve.

                                        What you should know and what i am going to discuss here are the goals of western media behind the scene. I will discuss mostly about American media but let me point out that i am not generalizing the whole American media/media, there are journalists, who perform there responsibility honestly and have no secret mission.Following is the brief info about the behind the scene goals;

Political Goals :

                                       Media is the main source to achieve the political goals of politicians or war lords. Political goals can be positive but i am here to discuss the negative scene, which the media make it look good for you. Those goals are to hide the truth from the people, to justify their wrong decisions and to get the support of the local people by feeding them lies or keep the busy in another story.

                                      The points that i am going to discuss below are mostly political too and all these tactics are used to mislead the people. 

Brain washing :

                                     This is one of the main goals.The major problem here is that the people don't even know that they are being brain washed.Now a question will arise in your mind that "how they are brain washing you".Well its not such a hard question to answer,lets define brain washing, brainwashing refers to the involuntary reeducation of basic beliefs and values" The term has been applied to any tactic, psychological or otherwise, which can be seen as subverting an individual's sense of control over their own thinking, behavior, emotions or decision making.For example if  you don't know anything about a country, religion or any other story etc then the media is the only way through which you get to know a little bit and so it all depends on them that what they want you to know because many people don't have tome or guts to research about that story to get to know the real truth.Media really effects the way you think about anyone any group because they will give you only one sided view or the negative view of the story.

Biased media :

                              Biased means " unfairly prejudiced for or against someone or something "
Western media is highly biased in the selection of events and stories that are reported and how they are covered. We all know how biased North Korea media is there are many western journalist and news producers give only one sided view and are unable to give a neutral point of view. 

Double standard :

                             Its a major problem with western media, their double standard on a specific country or a religion especially Islam.For example the word terrorist is used as a synonym for Muslims and if a Muslim commit any hate crime, you will see breaking news all over the media that a "terrorist Muslim"  has done this and there will be talk shows on that but when a non-Muslim commit the same crime they will just call him a criminal and that story will not get much coverage.

Even a 5-minute run can help prevent heart disease

Good news for runners: A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests running, even for a few minutes a day, can reduce your risk of dying from heart disease – whether you plod along or go at race speed.

Researchers studied more than 55,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 100 over a 15-year period, looking at their overall health, whether they ran and how long they lived.

Compared to nonrunners, those who ran had a 30% lower risk of death from all causes and a 45% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease, investigators found. In fact, runners on average lived three years longer than those who did not hit the pavement. When data was broken down by age, sex, body mass index, and smoking and alcohol use, the benefits were still the same.

“That’s important to note,” said Dr. Warren Levy, a cardiologist and chief medical officer of Virginia Heart in northern Virginia. “Even with all the negative factors, such as obesity, smoking and diabetes, those who were, let’s say, obese and ran had a less likely chance of dying from heart problems than those obese people who didn’t run. Same with smokers, diabetics, etc. ”

The speed and frequency of a person's running routine did not make a huge difference either. The data showed novice runners who ran less than 51 minutes, fewer than 6 miles, slower than 6 miles per hour, or only one or two times per week still had a lower risk of dying than those who did not put on running shoes.

D.C. Lee, lead author of the study and an assistant professor at Iowa State University's kinesiology department in Ames, Iowa, said the researchers found runners who ran less than an hour per week have the “same mortality benefits compared to runners who ran more than three hours per week.” So more may not be better.

“Its been shown that after a certain amount of running over a certain period of time, the benefits seem to wane,” said Levy. “We aren’t quite sure why.”

However, researchers did discover that consistency was key. They found participants who ran consistently over a period of six years or more gained the most benefits, with a 29% lower risk of death for any reason and 50% lower risk of death from heart disease or stroke.

There have been many studies that have shown the benefits of exercise on the heart. But this study is one of the largest to pinpoint the positive effects of running, especially for nonmarathoners or nontriathletes.

"Since time is one of the strongest barriers to participate in physical activity, the study may motivate more people to start running and continue to run as an attainable health goal for mortality benefits," Lee said.

Activities like running can lower your blood pressure and decrease the production of glucose, which cuts your risk of developing diabetes, according to the American Heart Association. Running also seems to protect the innermost lining of the arteries, keeping the walls and cells intact, which cuts the risk of blockages or clots that can cause strokes or heart attacks.

Levy, a runner himself, said people considering taking up running programs should talk to their doctors first, especially if they have chronic conditions.

“A lot of weekend warriors just go out without preparing for their run. It’s the runner who takes it gradually and trains correctly, even for a run around the block, who's the one who avoids injuries and other complications."

'BBC silent on Israeli crimes against Palestinians'

The BBC, that paragon of broadcasting, repeatedly fails to give the necessary context when reporting events in occupied Palestine. The rest of the mainstream media are equally guilty but we still tend to look to the BBC as the standard setter, a lofty position from which it has slid a long way recently.


In its many reports about the three teenage Israeli squatters allegedly kidnapped and murdered by Hamas, I have never heard the BBC explain that the Fourth Geneva Convention, article 49, forbids an occupying power to transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies and that doing so constitutes a war crime.

So when it comes to pinning the blame for the triple killing the finger must surely point to Israel’s prime minister Netanyahu and his delinquent government. By wilfully expanding their illegal settlement policy even when so-called peace talks were going on, and knowing full well that reprisals might follow, they deliberately put these youngsters in harm’s way.

We know that at least one of them lived in a settlement built on stolen land. Information on the others is hazy but WAFA, the Palestinian news agency, refers to all three as settlers. If that’s the case, they were trespassers in the West Bank. And like all squatter-settlers their very presence on Palestinian territory, let alone their arrogant behaviour, would have been provocative in the extreme and an affront to the rightful Palestinian residents. The risks to the boys’ safety were painfully obvious.

Many suspect, with good reason, that the abduction and murder was a false flag operation, in which case the finger of suspicion stays pointed at Netanyahu. Of course, Netanyahu is determined to pin the blame on Hamas one way or another. There are many in the British parliament too who are eager to give Hamas a good kicking and seem to have made up their minds already. For example,

Robert Halfon (Harlow) (Con): “The world has seen the tragic and brutal murders of three Israeli youngsters, most probably by Hamas. Will my right hon. Friend give the Israeli Government every possible support at this time? Does he agree that, far from showing restraint, Israel must do everything possible to take out Hamas networks, and will he give the Israeli Government support in that?”

The Prime Minister (David Cameron): “What I say to my hon. Friend, who I know is passionate about these issues, and to everyone in the House, is that this was an absolutely appalling and inexcusable act of terror, and one can only imagine the effect on the families and friends of those poor teenagers, and what happened to them. It is very important that Britain will stand with Israel as it seeks to bring to justice those who are responsible...”

But Israel still hasn’t produced evidence that Hamas was responsible, as when Netanyahu’s spin doctor was challenged repeatedly by a lone BBC reporter in this video clip.

The British government, questioned in the House of Commons, says it has seen and heard no evidence that Hamas was involved.

On 1 July Hugh Robertson, Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office told MPs: “As for who is responsible, it is too early to say. The British Government have no firm evidence…The Israeli Government are very clear about the fact that Hamas was responsible… but we have no hard evidence in London to back that up.”

Richard Burden (Birmingham, Northfield) (Lab) asked: “Will he [Robertson] say to the House, in the appalling situation we are in at the moment, what he thinks are the responsibilities under international law of the Palestinian Authority and what are the responsibilities of the Israeli Government as an occupying power in the West Bank, and will he confirm that collective punishment of the Palestinian people is a crime under international law?” But Robertson simply sidestepped the point about Israel’s responsibilities and the collective punishment inflicted on the Palestinians. It wouldn’t do to upset those nice racist friends of Mr Cameron in Tel Aviv.

Squatter-settlers are often armed, behave abominably and are protected by the Israeli military. Many are religious nutters. What would the citizens of Witney in Oxfordshire or Kansas City USA make of gun-toting, foreign intruders swaggering down their high street causing mayhem, burning olive groves, driving residents from their homes, harassing shoppers, terrifying children on their way to school and even driving their cars at them?

The death of any youngster is a tragedy. And it is obscene to claim, as some do, that one young person is more precious than another. So here’s another piece of context you won’t hear from the BBC or any other mainstream medium. Since the second intifada (September 2000) 1,656 Palestinian women and children have been killed in the occupied territories by Israeli security forces and civilians. In the same period just 256 Israeli women and children were killed in Israel by Palestinians. The arithmetic puts the tragedy of the three Israeli teenagers in a more sobering light. The figures are supplied by B’Tselem, an Israeli information and human rights organisation.

As of yesterday, at least 640 Palestinians had been arrested since the start of the Israeli military crackdown following the alleged disappearance of the three teen settlers, who were later found killed. These included 59 released prisoners in the exchange deal of 2011, including 11 pre-Oslo prisoners bringing up the number of pre-Oslo prisoners in Israeli jails to 41, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement.

11 Members of Parliament had also been arrested, bringing up the number of imprisoned parliamentarians to 22. The number of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails now stands at over 5,800.

Yesterday, in a Commons debate ‘Protecting Children in Conflict’, Grahame Morris (Easington) (Lab) said: “There is a danger that the current climate of vengeance and retribution will worsen the situation. Uri Ariel, the Israeli housing Minister, has called for a “proper Zionist response”, meaning an acceleration of Israel’s illegal expansion of settlements in the west bank and East Jerusalem and a programme of punitive house demolitions. The Israeli Deputy Minister of Defence, Danny Danon, said that Israel should make the entire Palestinian leadership pay a heavy price for the killing of the three Israeli teenagers, and Mr Lieberman, the Israeli Foreign Minister, advocated a full-scale invasion of Gaza as a legitimate response. In the name of security, rights, justice and peace, the demands of these politicians must be rebutted, resisted and challenged by the international community.”

He might have added, the international media. But the BBC and the rest still treat those animals with utmost reverence.

How to grow Taller?

Height is an essential factor which determines the overall personality of an individual. Though being short does not in any way undermine an individual’s capabilities, it’s a fact that tall people often become the centre of attention. Short statured people not only suffer from lack of confidence, but also face certain difficulties in some aspects of their lives.

Factors Affecting Height:

Being tall isn’t in our control, is it? Only partly true!

Genetic and non-genetic factors have a major role in determining our height. Our body height is regulated by the hormone called “Human Growth Hormone [HGH)”. HGH is secreted in our body by the pituitary gland and is required for the growth of long bones and cartilages.

a. Genetic Factors:

Height is influenced by various genes in our body. As our height is determined by several genes, it is polygenic. If both our parents are short, it does not mean we won’t be tall. Tall parents can have short children and vice versa. However, if most of the members of our family from both sides are of short stature, then the next generations are most likely to have a short height. Genetic factors are entirely beyond our control.

To calculate your projected height, follow these steps:

• First add both your parents’ heights together, either counting in inches or centimetres
• If you are male, add 5 inches, that is, 13 cm to this. However, if you are a girl, take away 5 inches from the total of your parent’s height
• Now divide this number by 2
• What you get is your projected height. This can be plus or minus 4 inches. This is an approximate way to predict what your height will be.

b. Non Genetic Factors:

There are several non-genetic factors that influence our height to an extent. Being tall is associated with growth and therefore, a short height can be attributed to inadequate nutrition for proper growth, lack of physical activity, incorrect posture, etc.

Certain other non-genetic factors which may affect height include:

• Maternal smoking during pregnancy,
• Prenatal and Post natal care
• Ill health during childhood and adolescence
• Birth weight
• Mental conditions during childhood and adolescence
• Non-genetic factors can be controlled to an extent by following an overall healthy lifestyle from childhood.

How to Increase your Height Naturally?

About 20% or more of our body height depends upon our environment, activities and diet. Thus, we can increase our height in a natural way by following certain basic rules in our daily lives.

1. Proper Sleep:

It’s a well-known fact that our body grows and regenerates tissues while we rest. Proper sleep and rest are absolutely essential in a growing body. It’s believed that the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) is produced naturally in our bodies during sound, deep and slow wave sleep. Growing children and teenagers should have at least 8 to 11 hours of proper sleep every night in order to reach their maximum height. It is extremely important to ensure that you have a proper sleeping environment. It should be serene, minus disturbing noises or strong lights. Here are some tips to ensure sound sleep:

• Taking a warm water bath before going to bed can greatly enhance the quality of sleep.
• You can drink one cup of chamomile tea before hitting the bed. This is really useful to induce sleep.

Proper sleeping habit is definitely the top answer when it comes to growing one’s height naturally.

2. Regular Exercise and Sports:

• One of the best ways to increase your height naturally is by being physically fit and active as a child. Regular exercise and sports activity enhances one’s height. When you are physically active, your body demands more healthy nutrients and consequently, an increase in nutrient intake results in proper growth.

• Indulging in sports activities like swimming, aerobics, tennis, cricket, football, basketball or a number of stretching exercises are a good way to keep our body growing. Our muscles improve our growth prospects besides cleansing and detoxifying our body through sweating. Regular exercise or sports should definitely form a part of our daily activities.

• Swimming is one of the best ways to increase your height. If one starts this at an early age, surely his/her height will be adequate. 2 hours of daily swimming for 4-5 days a week can be highly effective in increasing your height. The breast stroke is specially recommended for those who wish to increase their height. Swimming is a full body, intense form of exercise which will help to lengthen your muscles and build muscle strength.

• Some of the stretches you can try out with to begin are the car stretch, super stretch, cobra stretch, the bridge, bow down, twists, the table and basic leg stretches. It is recommended to do simple stretching exercises on a regular basis, for a minimum of 15 minutes for these to be effective for you. Stretches serves a great warm up before a workout.

• Hanging exercises can be useful to grow one’s height through exercise. Though these may seem a bit tough to try out in the beginning, you would get the hang of it slowly. All you need is a bar for this. Hang from it with your arms and spine stretched for 10 seconds. Repeat 12 sets one after the other or continue to do this for 2 minutes every day.

3. Yoga:

Yoga is a great and comparatively less strenuous way to increase your height naturally. Yoga brings about overall fitness which is useful to give a boost to your height. Certain yoga poses facilitate the release of growth-inducing hormones in the body. The stretching and balancing exercises involved in yoga strengthen the muscles and improve the posture of the body as well. Try yoga poses such as triangle pose (trikonasana), cobra pose (bhujangaasana), mountain pose (tadasana), pleasant pose (sukhasana), tree pose (Vriksasana). You can addSuryanamaskar to your fitness regime too.

4. Maintaining the Correct Posture:

Due attention should be given towards maintaining a correct posture from childhood. Simple things like sitting straight on a chair, keeping your shoulders straight, chin high, and hips over your feet while walking or standing can actually have favourable effects on your height. Do not slouch while walking.

A straight spine and a strong back are very vital in increasing your height. Align your neck and head without bending or slouching. Having a good pillow and a body-friendly mattress are equally important in keeping your spine comfortable.
It should be noted that your shoulders should not stoop while walking or standing. Hunching should be avoided by all means. A good posture makes you look tall, smart and confident.

5. Balanced Diet:

A balanced diet is absolutely essential to get proper nutrition. Stay away from junk food at any cost. Avoid saturated fats, carbonated drinks and excessive sugar-loaded foods as these can cause a negative impact on your height. It should be ensured that you get all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs, to grow to your full height.

• Vitamin D and proteins help in triggering the growth hormones, and are required for proper growth of teeth and bones. Hence, the foods which are rich in these nutrients such as cheese, legumes, tofu, lean meat, egg white should be included in your diet.

• Intake of zinc is also very important as its deficiency can lead to stunted growth in children. Foods such as asparagus, chocolate, eggs, oysters and peanuts are rich in zinc.

• Calcium found in dairy products and green vegetables is required for the growth and development of bones.

• Apart from this, other nutrients like minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, carbohydrates and vitamins should not be ignored as they also contribute towards proper growth of the body. The nutritional requirements can also be fulfilled by taking supplements in limited quantities.
• It is important to have a good metabolism. Hence, you can have six balanced meals throughout the day. Smaller but well-spanned portions can be helpful to boost your metabolic rate. This will lead to lesser fat storage in your body, thus allowing you to grow to the proper height.

6. Avoid Growth Stunting factors:

You can ensure that your height doesn’t get affected by external or internal factors. Hence, keep in mind a few things.

Taking drugs and alcohol at a young age can be extremely harmful. Consuming these can lead to stunted growth and malnutrition, thus preventing you from reaching your full height. The intake of caffeine should be restricted, particularly among children as it keeps you from sleeping soundly and regularly. As kids and adolescents require a good eight to eleven hours of sound sleep, caffeine can restrict that to a great extent, thus indirectly contributing to a short stature.

Apart from this, steroids have also been found to inhibit bone growth in young children, adversely affecting their height. Research has shown that asthma-affected children and teenagers who use inhalers tend to grow up to about ½an inch shorter than others. This is because these inhalers dispense relatively small amounts of the steroid called budesonide.

7. Strong Immune System:

Certain childhood illnesses can also cause stunted growth. These can be avoided by regular immunization and taking plenty of Vitamin C which is found in citrus fruits like orange, grapefruit and lemon. The immune system can be kept strong by eating whole and fresh foods, and avoiding processed and hydrogenated foods such as the very popular margarine.

A healthy diet will lead to a healthy immune system. Incorporate lots of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in your diet to maintain a healthy immune system.

8. Ask For Medical Aid:

If you have reached your mid-teens and hail from a family where all members are tall, but find that your height isn’t developing, it is judicious to visit a doctor. Certain medical conditions can be detected at an early stage. Hence, if you are doing all in your means but still not growing, asking for medical aid is advised.

9. Build Your Confidence:

If a person is tall but lacks confidence, it’s no use. Hence, it is very important to build confidence from childhood and cultivate it as you grow older. You can take part in school activities, join a club and spend time pursuing your interests and hobbies. All of this acts towards boosting your mood and sense of well-being, thus affecting your confidence levels. If you have a positive mindset and are brimming with confidence, even a shorter stature won’t seem to be a hindrance for you. Hence, cultivate your confidence!

Don’t wait any longer; start right away to keep your body growing!
Leave me a suggestion if you have one to help me add a couple of inches more to my height!
