A MOTHER’S LOVE




TRUE STORY THAT HAPPENED IN CANADA

A baby boy David was born to a certain family.
The mum was so excited that she hardly put him down.
One day she left him sleeping and went to the garden.
When she was there, the house caught fire and
she ran back home as fast as possible to save her only son.
People tried to stop her but they didn’t succeed.
She went in and found the baby untouched.
Unfortunately, her hair caught fire as she was going out and she started burning.
It was very bad for the rest of her life because she had to live with a scar.
The boy grew up and became very rich and shifted to town.
But in the real sense, he was ashamed of his mother’s scars.
When people asked him, he would say,
“l don’t have someone so ugly in our family as my mother”.

One day his mum overheard how his son was telling people and she was very disappointed.
She decided to travel to town to explain to his only son what had happened and the reason behind her ugliness.
But unfortunately, the bus she was travelling with, got an accident and the mum died instantly.
The boy heard the news and felt very happy.
He then rushed to the village and found people sad.
He just passed them and went directly to her mother’s room to search for important documents.
He was shocked to find her MUM’s oldest DIARY BOOK written,
DATE: 5th Sept 1980.I was announced the WINNER OF MISS
TORONTO BEAUTY CONTEST.
DATE: 14th Jan 1982.My husband Tonny Gateson passed away in a road accident and left me six months pregnant.
DATE: 2nd July 1983.I saved my only son David from a fire and I ended up losing my hair while scars left on my face.
David felt too bad and started crying, but it was TOO LATE!TOO LATE!

ATTENTION TO ALL PASSPORT HOLDER…!!!!


PLS DO SHARE TO ALERT THE OTHER PASSPORT HOLDERS..

ALERT: Passport
Awareness at the Airport PASSPORT
AWARENESS AT THE AIRPORT Please be
Careful at the Airports, This is a well
organized conspiracy by Immigration,
Police, Customs and Airline staff with networking at all International Airports.
Be careful when ever you give your
passport to Immigration/Customs/ Airline
staff. The pass port can be easily
tampered and can create trouble to you.
They have found an easy way of making money. This is the way it works:At the
time of the passenger’s departure, if the
passenger is not looking at the officer
while he is stamping the exit, the officer
very cleverly tears away one of the page
from the passport. When the passenger leaves the immigration counter, the case
is reported on his computer terminal
with full details. Now all over the
country they have got full details of the
passenger with Red Flag flashing on the
Passport number entered by the departure immigration officer. They have
made their money by doing above. On
arrival next time, he is interrogated.
Subject to the passenger’s period of stay
abroad, his income and standing etc., the
price to get rid of the problem is settled by the Police and Immigration people. If
someone argues, his future is spoiled
because there are always some innocent
fellows who think the honesty is the
basis of getting justice. Please advise
every passenger to be careful at the airports. Whenever they hand over the
passport to the counters of Airlines or
immigration or the customs, they must
be vigilant, should not remove eyes from
the passport even if the officer in front
tries to divert their attention. Also, please pass this information to all friends, media
men and important politicians. Every
month 20-30 cases are
happening all over the world to rob the
passenger the minute he lands.
A similar case happened with Aramco‘s Arifuddin in Pakistan . He was travelling
with his family.
They had six passports. They got the visa
of America and decided to go via Jeddah.
When they reached the States, the page
of the American visa on his wife’s passport was missing. At the time
of departure from Pakistan it was there,
the whole family had to return
helplessly. On arrival at Pakistan , they
were caught by the police and now it is
over 2 months, they are running after the Police, Immigration officers and the
Courts. On going in to details with him,
he found out the following: One cannot
imagine, neither can believe, that the
Immigration department can play such a nasty
game to harass the innocent passengers. All the airline passengers
must be aware of this conspiracy. Every
month 15 to 20 cases are taking place, at
each mentioned airport, of holding the
passengers in the crime of tearing away
the passport pages. On interviewing some of them, none of them was aware
of what had happened. They don’t know
why, when and who tore away the page
from the middle of the passport. One can
imagine
the sufferings of such people at the hands of the immigration, police and the
court procedures after that. The number
of cases has increased in the last 2-3
years. People who are arriving at the
immigration, they are questioned and
their passports are being held and they have to go in for detailed interrogation.
Obviously, the conspiracy started about 2
to 3 years ago, now the results are
coming. Some of the Airline counter staff
too is involved in this conspiracy. SO
MAKE SURE NOT TO LET THE PASSPORT GO OFF YOUR SIGHT EVEN FOR A SECOND. THE
IMMIGRATION COUNTERS ARE HIGH AND
TIRED AND SHORT PASSENGERS REALLY
HAVE TO WORK HARD TO KEEP THE
PASSPORT IN SIGHT, SPEACIALLY AFTER
THE EXHAUSTING JOURNEY, EVERYONE WANTS TO GET OVER WITH THE AIRPORT
FORMALITIES AND GO HOME. SO BEING
VIGILANT FOR AN EXTRA MINUTE WILL
SAVE YOU A LIFE TIME OF MISERY. BEST OF
LUCK IN YOUR TRAVELS. KINDLY SEND THIS
TO AS MANY OF YOUR INTENDING TRAVELLERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE
WORLD REQUEST THEM TO CHECK THE
PASSPORT AT THE CHECK-IN COUNTERS
AND BEFORE LEAVING THE AIRPORT. I think
at least have a full photo copy of
Passport and Keep scan of your passport in your Hard drive or flash memory and I advise same for ticket also —
This information
will save lives of passengers. Spread the
word and share! Act Now!
This is a re-blogged from a concerned citizen!

Olympic Games

Evolution of Olympic Games

The Olympic Games are considered to be the world’s foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart. The are the leading international sporting event featuring summer and winter sports competitions in which thousands of athletes across the planet participate in a variety of competitions.

Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.

Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority.

The Summer Olympic Games or the Games of the Olympiad, first held in 1896, are an international multi-sport event, occurring every four years, organized by the International Olympic Committee. Medals are awarded in each event, with gold medals for first place, silver for second and bronze for third, a tradition that started in 1904. The Winter Olympic Games were also created due to the success of the Summer Olympics.

Five countries – Greece, Australia, France, Great Britain and Switzerland – have been represented at all Summer Olympic Games.

The Olympic symbol, better known as the Olympic rings, consists of five intertwined rings and represents the unity of the five inhabited continents (Africa, America, Asia, Oceania, Europe). The colored version of the rings—blue, yellow, black, green, and red—over a white field forms the Olympic flag. These colors were chosen because every nation had at least one of them on its national flag.

The Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius, a Latin expression meaning “Faster, Higher, and Stronger” was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin in 1894 and has been official since 1924.

The Olympic Games program consists of 35 sports, 30 disciplines and nearly 400 events. Olympic sports are governed by international sports federations (IFs) recognized by the IOC as the global supervisors of those sports. There are 35 federations represented at the IOC.

The Games have grown so much that nearly every nation is now represented. This growth has created numerous challenges, including boycotts, doping, bribery, and acts of terrorism. Every two years the Olympics and its media exposure provide unknown athletes with the chance to attain national and sometimes international fame. The Games also constitute an opportunity for the host city and country to showcase themselves to the world.

European Union (EU)

European Union
European Union

The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 28 member states that are primarily located in Europe. The EU operates through a system of supranational independent institutions and intergovernmental negotiated decisions by the member states.  Institutions of the EU include the European Commission, the Council of the European Union, the European Council, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Central Bank, the Court of Auditors, and the European Parliament.

The EU traces its origins from the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Economic Community (EEC), formed by the Inner Six countries. The Maastricht Treaty established the European Union under its current name in 1993. The latest major amendment to the constitutional basis of the EU, the Treaty of Lisbon, came into force in 2009.

The EU has developed a single market through a standardized system of laws that apply in all member states. Within the Schengen Area, passport controls have been abolished. EU policies aim to ensure the free movement of people, goods, services, and capital, enact legislation in justice and home affairs, and maintain common policies on trade, agriculture, fisheries, and regional development.

The monetary union was established in 1999 and came into full force in 2002. It is currently composed of 18 member states that use the euro as their legal tender. The union maintains permanent diplomatic missions throughout the world and represents itself at the United Nations, the WTO, the G8, and the G-20.

The six countries signed the Treaty of Rome, which extended the earlier co-operation within the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and created the European Economic Community (EEC), establishing a customs union. They also signed another treaty on the same day creating the European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) for co-operation in developing nuclear energy.

Four countries forming the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have partly committed to the EU’s economy and regulations: Iceland (a candidate country for EU membership), Liechtenstein and Norway, which are a part of the single market through the European Economic Area, and Switzerland, which has similar ties through bilateral treaties.

The European Union has seven institutions: the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, the European Commission, the European Council, the European Central Bank, the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Auditors.

The EU has five key points in its energy policy: increase competition in the internal market, encourage investment and boost interconnections between electricity grids; diversify energy resources with better systems to respond to a crisis; establish a new treaty framework for energy co-operation with Russia while improving relations with energy-rich states in Central Asia and North Africa; use existing energy supplies more efficiently while increasing renewable energy commercialization; and finally increase funding for new energy technologies.
