Organizations in Canada
According to its Web site, the Qadiani Ahmadiyya organization has a total of 14 branches in Canada, including its headquarters located in Maple, Ontario (Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Canada n.d.). The Secretary of Mission House at the Maple, Ontario office provided the following information in correspondence with the Research Directorate dated 17 November 2006:
The [Qadiani] Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, which came into existence on March 23, 1889, has been registered as Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam Canada; when its founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, a resident of Qadian (a town in India), claimed to be that particular subordinate Prophet and Reformer as foretold by the Holy Prophet Muhammad ... through numerous prophecies.
The members of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam take the oath of Allegiance at the hands of the current head of the community and take it upon themselves to propagate through peaceful means the tenets of Islam and prophecies of the Holy Prophet ....
The people who did not put faith in Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian gave insultive nickname as 'Qadiani Ahmadiyya Organization'. You would appreciate that no religion has ever been named after any city of that country.
The requirements [for] membership [in the] Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam are listed below:
i) Firm belief in the existence of one and only one God and the Holy Prophet Muhammed ... is His messenger.
ii) Mirza Ghulam Ahmed of Qadian is his subordinate prophet and reformer of the present time.
iii) Full faith in all the principles of Islam and Holy Quran as the divine book for guidance of the whole mankind.
Every member of the Community who comes to Canada is registered in Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam Canada. Exhaustive procedures of verification to judge the authenticity of the member are carried out through interviews at various levels of the organization of the community. In case [of] any doubts, the matter is referred to our headquarters in Rabwah, Pakistan.
The community is a religious organization and has no political ambitions in any country. Thus, any individual without status in Canada can become a member of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam Canada.
The President of Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam Canada, Naseem Mahdi, or his Vice-president, Abdul Aziz Khalifa signs the certificate. A specimen of the certificate is attached for information.
The headquarters office of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community exists in Qadian, India, and its branch has been established in Pakistan at Chanab Nagar (formerly known as 'Rabwah') in district Jhang. The branches of the community are also functioning in approximately 180 countries in the world.
A copy of the above mentioned certificate used to confirm membership is attached to this Response to Information Request.
The following information was provided during a telephone conversation of 22 November 2006 with the Missionary in charge of Eastern Canada (hereinafter referred to as the Missionary) from the Qadiani Ahmadiyya Ottawa branch. The Missionary stated that there are a total of 60 Qadiani branches located in Canada and that they do not use the term "Qadiani" as it is a derogatory word. According to the Missionary, membership codes are issued from the Toronto branch, which serves as the headquarters in Canada. When an Ahmadi wants to join their organization, he or she must fill out an application form. A copy of the application form, provided by the Missionary in correspondence dated 23 November 2006, is attached to this Response to Information Request. If the organization is satisfied that the applicant is an Ahmadi, a membership code is issued by the Toronto office using the organization's computerized system. This code is then given to the regional office and then provided to the new member. If the organization is not satisfied that the applicant is an Ahmadi, the Missionary indicated that they would forward the application form to the head office in the country of origin of the applicant via the international headquarters in London, UK, where they would verify whether or not the applicant is an Ahmadi. The country of origin office would then send its findings to the international headquarters in London, which would then be sent to the Toronto headquarters and, finally, forwarded to the regional office.
The Missionary also indicated that their organization provides letters to confirm that a person is in fact a member of their organization for Ahmadis who claim refugee status on the basis of their religious affiliation. The Missionary explained that he is responsible for issuing such letters for Eastern Canada and that he sends such letters to claimants' lawyers and directly to the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB).
Organizations in the United States
According to the International Web site of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, there are a total of 39 branches listed in 20 US states (n.d.a). The Web site also provides the following information regarding the organization:
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a religious organization, international in its scope, with branches in over 178 countries in Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Australasia and Europe. This is the most dynamic denomination of Islam in modern history, with worldwide membership exceeding tens of millions.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Islam was created under divine guidance with the objective to rejuvenate Islamic moral and spiritual values. It encourages interfaith dialogue, and diligently defends Islam and tries to correct misunderstandings about Islam in the West. It advocates peace, tolerance, love and understanding among followers of different faiths. (n.d.b)
Additional information on Qadiani Ahmadiyya organizations located in the United States could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim for refugee protection.

jl - Unregistered August 17, 2012 3:41 AM I think every rider at this level, when they sign on a team should expect a bike that will perform on a certain level(especially a factory bike). To see all the riders that have ridden that bike and got the same results as VR and NH speaks to Ducati's inability to produce a well rounded GP bike. 2 agree 1 disagree
JB - Unregistered August 17, 2012 3:50 AM Stoner is the most qualified person amongst them to make statements about how to ride the Ducati...Love him or hate him, you cannot deny his ability. Motogp will be missing one of the best in 2013. 3 agree 3 disagree
Mike Hollows - Unregistered August 17, 2012 4:20 AM Stoner has the name but VR fans have the fame when it comes to moaning and spouting ****e. Your goat made a complete ass of himself by barely being able to place on that Duke. Well said Casey. To the dayglo panty brigade out ther, keep drinking the Kool-Aid. 2 agree 4 disagree
Demi God - Unregistered August 17, 2012 4:29 AM Just found a pair of Stoner tinted glasses and am putting them on now.Argh! I am a god!Get out of my way mortal, you are a mere fly beneath my shoe of greatness!No mathematician! You are wrong, 1+1 does not equal two, I am number one and two of me equals awesome! I have the power!!!And now I take them off.... oh, I am just a poor boy from a poor family 4 agree 0 disagree
Adriana - Unregistered August 17, 2012 4:53 AM Even the Greatest Rider of All Time, Giacomo Asgostini said that Stoner was a Better Rider than Mr Rossi - says heaps about Stoner's talent. Mr RossI's fans must deep down inside beaware of this,THATS what makes then HATE Stoner so much, his success overshadows Mr Rossi achievements. Since 2007 when they both competed on Factory bikes,Stoner has the best result to date.Now tell me,what will Mr Rossi's excuse be if in 2013 the wins don't come his way? 6 agree 3 disagree
Rahul - Unregistered August 17, 2012 5:17 AM @wylie coyote u must understand that every rider has worked hard to come here,not only stoner.Well if u think coming at 14 years is really great,then what do u call Rossi who is racing for 16 years now and still want to win. Many are saying that stoner is better rider than Rossi and agostini said that,doohan said that.ok he is faster than rossi.u all have to remember that being a better rider doesnt make a person a legend.on ehas to have that will to race,ability to race for long long time.Nobody becomes a legend by racing 6 years,not in any kind of sport.Longetivity and hunger for victory are key.Rossi surely has it at 33 years of age wanting to fight with young guns.Stoner on other hand who has a chance of becoming legend wants to retire at 27 years.For rossi racing is life.For stoner racing is just a profession.Go Valentino,Go Sachin Tendulkar.Fighters 4 agree 1 disagree
me - Unregistered August 17, 2012 5:21 AM what a bunch of pathectic losers on here he was asked a ? on ducati and answered it now a bunch are saying stfu on ducati and the others are saying he bitter and angry lol you losers need to grow a set and realise we have been lucky to see some of the best riders ever racing putting there life on the line when they go balls out to win races . Look at lorenzo he would give anything to have casey on a bike next year even though without him it will be a lot easier for him to win thats all about balls and racing and they are 2 of the very best we have been lucky to watch 2 agree 2 disagree
BigG - Unregistered August 17, 2012 5:36 AM Last Edited 925 days ago This is getting boring. No Casey you are not the only rider who can ride the Ducati fast. The current bike isn't the same as the one you won a WC on. And the competition has developed whereas the bike you supposedly developed turned into bag of nails before you left. Ducati's downfall somewhat also lays at Stoners door, because you cannot develop a bike. 1 agree 2 disagree
billywiz - Unregistered August 17, 2012 5:51 AM Stoner really has some physco problems. If he is that good why quit? He's not fit to wipe Rossi's @rse. He's done nothing compared to Rossi and yet he talks like he's done it all. I think he has an impression of himself that is not in touch with reality. Fancy trying to pour sh1t on JB what a clown. As an aussie I find the bloke and embarassment making comments like that about one of the best riders ever, it make Stoner look like a silly littel boy. Grow a pair you nitwit and stop acting like a girl. 9 agree 3 disagree
fads - Unregistered August 17, 2012 6:05 AM Last Edited 925 days ago Not only did he insult rossi and niky but anyone else who has been on the bike, he could of simply just said the bike need to be used a certain way, but he even insulted riders that talk about riding styles. and seems like stoner fans are just happy to see him isnult rossi and miss the point. btw to ppl who keep saying stoner handed a championship wining bike to rossi, why did he only win 1 year and why did he do worse and worse every year, i even remember him falling of during the warm up lap i mean he was going dead slow. and he did complain ow wait hes still complains now but he has the cheek to say another rider does nothing but complain 4 agree 1 disagree

L.A. accountant Megan Greene has a successful job, a handsome cardiologist fiancé, and a doting father. Surely they make up for her estranged sister and hypochondriac mother... and a niggling sense that something, somewhere, got lost along the way. But then Megan's life falls spectacularly apart. Faced with the knowledge that neither her father nor her fiancé are the men she thought they were, she is loath to trust Travis - the high school boyfriend who never quite left her heart. But his reappearance stirs dreams she once reluctantly packed away, and forces her to confront her relationship with her sister - a bond that has been strained to the limit but has never quite broken. And amid the turmoil lies the promise of a future Megan never expected - one that may turn out to contain everything she really needs....

"Cute Listen"
Sometimes with Susan Mallery it is a hit or miss. Sunset Bay is a hit. The characters are well written and I really liked the family interaction (very disfunctional.) The only part I thought was strange was the father's reaction to his daughter and their broken relationship that didn't seem to mend. I don't want to say too much or I'll spoil the book. Over all a great book and Renee Raudman did a good job with narration. Worth a credit.
avid reader
This is Susan Mallery how I remember her from her Buchanan series. Good character development with flawed, believable characters. Not every hero in life is a secret (or open) millionaire. Travis was just a normal guy, and he only had the depth of his feelings for Megan to recommend him. There were several secondary characters that you either loved or loved to hate. There were even a few that were totally transformed from your original opinion, which isn't easy to do and still be believable. Overall, this was a great story, and it was all topped off by a talented narrator. Not at all a waste of a credit!
"Great book!"
I've listened to most of Susan Mallery's books, and this is one of my fav's. I usually like books in a series, so I have listened to all of Mallery's series books. Sunset Bay definitely ranks up there with the Buchanan series. Characters are believable, love talk is not too cheesy, and there is an engaging, unexpected storyline.
I have heard the narrator in other books, and really like her. She's no Therese Plummer, but better than a lot of others!
Definitely worth the credit!
"Just OK"
The "at odd sisters who come together as adults" part was good but the demented narcissistic mother and "dad- who-became- not- my-dad" characters were cardboard and really stupid, right to the bitter end. Read it if you have nothing else better, but definitely not my favorite... I have read much better by Susan Mallery
"Always A Pleasure"
I have listened to several Susan Malllery's books. Never regret buying one of her books Another enjoyable listen.

Product Description
Specifically designed to deliver optimal performance when used with standard 100 grain propellant charges, AeroLites are a great choice for long-range shots. The AeroLite large hollow point cavity maximizes expansion capability while eliminating weight from the core, allowing the bullet to be substantially longer than standard projectiles of similar weight. A longer bullet length produces more stability in flight and greater accuracy. The super-hard polycarbonate AeroTip fills the void of the oversized hollow point and serves to both optimize aerodynamics in flight and control expansion on impact. 15 bullets per pack. |

I took this sabot to the range the first time this week. I took 4 shots at 100 yards they grouped within 1 inch of each other at 200 yards i was within 2 inches with 4 shots. I'm using a CVA Optima with a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x40 and 110gr charge. Great accuracy for the money

On Sunday a lone activist broke into one of the fields here at Rothamsted Research labs in Hertfordshire and started attacking a number of genetically modified wheat plants that we are growing as part of an experiment to see if we can create a new strain resistant to attack from aphids. Thankfully the police acted quickly, before any serious damage was done, and the experiment can continue, but next Sunday a protest group called Take the Flour Back plans to "decontaminate" the experiment.
The protesters claim that the GM crop is somehow dangerous and therefore must be removed from the ground. A spokeswoman has said "I hope we won't be forced into removing [the plants] ourselves, but this may be the only course of action."
We have already written an open letter to the protesters calling on them to engage with us and not to destroy our experiment. So far they have refused to budge, and it appears that Take the Flour Back's call for those who are anti-GM to take action on a freelance basis has already taken effect. But there is still time for them to see sense, and realise that vandalism is not the way forward.
GM technology has moved on a lot in the past two decades. Once, the impression given was of a sinister new technology that would make chemical firms rich and farmers poor. Our experiment is not about making money: it is an attempt to create new strains that will have a lower environmental impact than traditional varieties.
Our approach has been to use an odour, or "alarm pheromone", which aphids produce to alert one another to danger. This odour is also produced by some plants as a natural defence mechanism, not only repelling aphids but attracting their natural enemies, such as ladybirds. The ultimate goal is to explore new ways to help promote environmentally friendly agriculture, by seeing if we can get crops to defend themselves, so they do not have to be sprayed with pesticides.
The work is the product of years of studying how insects interact with one another and with the plants that surround them in the ecosystem, through their natural chemistry. We chose to use genetic modification as a tool after trying other approaches, such as synthetic dispensers and essential oils.
But this experiment is just that – an experiment. While we know the modification works well in a laboratory, we do not know if it works out in the real world. It is unfortunate that the protest group think we are growing some kind of commercial crop. We are not. Rothamsted Research is an independent charitable company that has being doing agricultural science for nearly 170 years – it is the oldest of its kind in the world. The ideas from this experiment will not be patented and the results will be available to the public.
The team and I therefore do not comprehend why people would want to destroy it. Surely they want to know the answer too? How can we possibly debate the pros and cons without the information and knowledge to help us?
Take the Flour Back claims that the GM wheat can cross-pollinate with other non-GM plants outside the experimental site. Well, wheat is 99 per cent self-pollinating: it is a real challenge to make wheat-to-wheat hybrids, let alone cross it with something else. The only wild plant theoretically capable of crossing to wheat in the UK is couch grass, and although there have been some lab experiments that have made hybrids between wheat and couch grass, this needs human intervention and has never been seen in the wild. This is because wheat pollen grains are relatively heavy, not normally dispersed by wind, and only live for a few hours.
To be doubly sure, we have put in place strict safeguards to minimise the spread of seeds or pollen, for example by surrounding the GM plots with other wheat and barley crops as a barrier that will all be harvested and destroyed at the end of the trial.
So is cross-pollination possible? Yes, as scientists we work on the principle that anything is possible. Is it likely? No. What's more, even if it did happen, the actual chances of this GM wheat successfully establishing itself in the wild are extremely low, since wheat is uncompetitive with other plants.
Another area the protesters have concerns about is the formation of "superweeds". These are weeds that become resistant to herbicide treatment. The issue of resistance is a natural phenomenon and any pest management system, whether it uses GM or not, will eventually experience a level of resistance to pests and disease.
Currently, the main types of GM crops grown commercially are ones that make toxins to kill insect pests, or ones that are herbicide-resistant. These plants are not much different from conventional pesticide- or herbicide-based approaches to crop protection, and so it is not surprising that there have been problems associated with resistance.
But our wheat is something different. It has been engineered to produce a smelly chemical – well, smelly to aphids – that already occurs widely and is known in over 400 plant species. This method has behavioural rather than toxic effects on insects, by making the aphid fly away in disgust. Also, unlike current pesticides (which can kill all insects, friend or foe), our technique may actually attract beneficial insects to the crop. This technique cannot create superweeds.
Another argument put forward by the protest group is that there is no market for this type of GM wheat. While we are not producing a commercial crop in this experiment, if it does work, and if anyone did choose to commercialise this kind of approach, it would probably take another 10 years before a product could come to market. Research takes a long time – and rightly so, in order that we can test everything methodically, accurately and responsibly.
Finally, we have been accused of producing a product with a cow gene in our experimental wheat. We used synthetic genes, which is a standard procedure for modern molecular biology experiments. The synthetic form of the gene we used encodes a protein that happens to be most similar to that found in cows, but is not significantly different to the versions found in nearly all other organisms. It is not a "cow gene". We are also doing the experiment with another line that contains a synthetic gene most similar to a peppermint gene.
The world population is increasing by an average of more than 160,000 people a day and has topped seven billion. By mid-century, this will rise to nine billion at least. Coupled with rising global temperatures, an enormous stress will be placed on our ability to provide nutritious food and to safeguard our environment.
Even now, in the second decade of the 21st century, nearly one billion people are undernourished. Food production must be increased hugely, while ensuring farmers reduce their impact, and this experiment is part of a wider scientific strategy for Rothamsted Research to meet the challenge of increasing food and energy production in a more environmentally friendly way.
It is a shame that the wider debate around global commercialisation of GM is getting caught up in this trial. I think it is worth putting this into perspective. This is a small-scale ecological experiment to test the concept of whether we can grow plants in the future that require less pesticide, using GM as a tool.
And that is all transgenic technology is: a tool. It is not a political ideology. If Take the Flour Back destroys our experiment, they will deny us knowledge that we will give freely to the public, to help us all make informed decisions in the future.
I am not sure what gives these protesters the right to do this. They talk about "a food democracy" on their website. Is denying access to knowledge and ripping crops out of the soil democratic?

Questions and answers about meditation, yoga, the spiritual life, and more
Questions and Answers
December 31
Luv Agrawal
Where to find a yogi guru?
Has anyone in Ananda Sangha attained nirvkalpa samadhi or sahaj samadhi state? can you show me the way?
Why did Swami Kriyananda did not achieve mahasamadhi like Paramhans Yogananda, inspite of being his direct disciple? Why did he leave the spiritual path and opt for a married life?
Dear Luv,
Paramhansa Yogananda was already a fully realized master when he came into being. He had attained high states of consciousness and more. Whether Swami Kriyananda attained samadhi or not, we don't really know. Yogananda told Swamiji that he would, but not until the end of his life. Many of us feel that he was freed. And many feel that he was free already because of the high state of his consciousness, his energy and accomplishments, and his compassion and love for all. Just any human being could not have done all that he has done unless they were deeply connected with God.
Swamiji did marry but he never left the spiritual path. Marriage doesn't mean you cannot be searching for the Divine. He later divorced and became a Swami again. He always kept his discipleship with Yogananda a living presence in his life ever since he met Master and took vows from him.
If you want to find these states of samadhi, you too need to make the choice of always keeping your guru (especially if he is Self-realized) in your consciousness and to follow his guidance which you can receive in meditation.
Ananda continues to give teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda to all who ask. Through them you can find liberation. But it is up to you and your intensity and your energies that will make it all happen. Keep the focus of your attention on finding libration for yourself and give everything to God.

I enjoy reading about the lives of saints. But I have noticed how incredibly difficult their lives were. Let's see, beheaded, stoned, imprisoned, burnt at the stake,shunned, scorned, crucified . . . and gee, I want to be just like them when I grown up (spiritually)! I don't understand how a person who is on the verge of sainthood could still have such terrible karma. I'm not looking forward to this! Is this the final hazing before we get to join the fraternity of saints?
Dear Friend,
The sacrifices we see the saints make, they accept willingly, not in a spirit of mere resignation, but as the will of God. They are certainly working out karma, but in some cases helping out the karma of others.
Don't be concerned for the future. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." The spiritual path makes us strong. What would destroy the spirit of most is handled with courage and faith by one who feels God's presence and accepts "that which comes of itself."
Honor the saints and follow their example in the challenges of your own daily life and you will have nothing to fear!

I am searching to learn more about God, to be more in relationship with the world around me. I'm not really sure where to start, I have faith that when I am ready I will find my teacher but I would like to learn more about meditation and finding a spiritual path. Is anyone able to recommend any reading or anything that would be helpful to someone starting out please?
Dear Laura,
I would suggest several possibilities. There are a number of excellent books that you can read for free online on the Ananda Sangha Worldwide website: These include The Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramhansa Yogananda and The New Path by Swami Kriyananda.
To learn more about meditation here is a link to a meditation webpage with many resources. You might also want to explore Ananda's free Introduction to Meditation online class.
Another online resource is the Ananda Virtual Community. You'll find a variety of activities that may be helpful to you.
Let us know if you have any further questions.
In divine friendship,
Nayaswami Pranaba

My small town has an Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) meditation group that I meditate with periodically. I have noticed that their invocation of the lineage includes both "Mahavatar Krishna" and Babaji separately. Their photos on the altar always include Krishna. I noticed this also in the Yogananda movie. Why does Ananda combine Babaji and Krishna? If this change was made by Swami Kriyananda, why? In most ways, SRF's satsang is just like Ananda's, but this difference stands out.
Dear Lynn,
Actually, it was Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) that made the change sometime in the late 1960's; at that time they decided to separate Krishna and Babaji. It was at that time they added the photo of Krishna to the altar and changed the invocation. Ananda has felt to retain both the altar and the invocation as was given by Paramhansa Yogananda himself. If you look back to photos of the time when Yogananda was still in his body, you'll notice that Krishna was not included on the altar.

How do I repent for my sins? I have committed same mistakes again and again consciously. I have broken the Brahmacharya vrat in in depression many times. How do I come out of this guilt complex?
Dear Siddharth,
Paramhansa Yogananda said, "Life is a battle all along the way. May I win the battle on the very spot in which I stand."
It sounds like you are aware of your mistakes and you want to overcome them. Here is a question that you might want to look at:
Are you working with yourself as you are, or are you trying to become someone that you are not, forcing yourself to act in ways that are not suited to your nature?
Guilt is a waste of time. It keeps you stuck, constantly blaming yourself without doing anything to improve the situation. You need to use your will power to resist the guilt urge, and when it comes up anyway, to affirm the opposite.
Here are a few suggestions that might help you:
- Daily meditation practice, by yourself and with a support group. If you don't have one, please check Ananda's meditation section.
- Choose battles that you can win. Start with a small battle that you have a chance winning, and gradually take on bigger battles. Remember: You can't fight all the battles at once. Maybe at this time in your life, Brahmacharya is not right for you. Maybe being in a relationship will actually help you grow and expand your consciousness.
- Choose to be in a positive supportive environment that will help you overcome negative tendencies.
- Use your will power consciously and direct your energy in positive directions. Our will power is one of the greatest tools that God gave us to become successful and to overcome negative habits. You need to use it wisely.
I also recommend that you read Paramhansa Yogananda's book How to Be a Success, available at Crystal Clarity Publishers or, in India, at Ananda Sangha Publications. I think you will find it helpful.
Best wishes to you,
Nayaswami Diksha

How can I reduce my sleep quota? I am asking this question because I cannot wake up at Bram Muhurt for chanting.
Dear Siddharth,
Many factors affect how much sleep you need, so it's impossible to say exactly what might best help you reduce your need for sleep. In fact, some people, due to their personal constitution and/or their life circumstances, should not try to reduce that need.
In any case, I suggest that you begin by exploring how to improve the quality of your sleep. The first places you might look are your diet and your daily schedule. I recommend Vegetarian Cooking for Starters for an excellent treatment of yogic diet. As for your daily schedule, the more consistent your bedtime and rising time, the better will be the quality of your sleep, and hence the greater will be your potential for sleeping less. Here is a post on my personal website on my personal website where you'll find a number of simple tips for better sleep.
At the same time, strive to meditate regularly and ever deeper. When meditation is deep enough, it will reduce your need for sleep. Here is an excellent meditation technique that Paramhansa Yogananda taught.
December 19
I have read a lot cases this past year over stories of school shootings / rapes / pedophilia, and it saddens me because these are preventable things — but these ppl are afraid to admit their issues for fear of being judged. Society today just labels them 'monsters' and doesn't have any sympathy to them. But unless we are open to hearing them, they will fester hidden in society. What can we do on a personal/social level to help? How can we get over the 'gut' urge to reject and scorn them?
Dear Rush,
Thank you for your letter and your compassion on behalf of erring humanity. Since you have an urge not only to help individuals who are within your sphere of influence, but also society in general, you may want to examine what would be the best use of your time and energy.
Here are a few suggestions:
- When you hear a disturbing news item, pray for those involved. Pray for them NOW. Ask that the victims be comforted, but also that the perpetrator be healed of the dark tendencies that led to the act. Let your compassion flow both ways.
- Paramhansa Yogananda said we can do more good if we ourselves are transformed. Embrace your divinity on a more profound level so that you are able to send out deeper prayers for those areas that concern you.
- Find ways to help society in positive ways that bring upliftment to others.
- Meditate and love God. Then help others to meditate and love God.
- Pray for individuals, and pray for the upliftment of the planet.
- Pray that saintly souls be born to our nation, and to other regions of the world.
- Consider that you may be watching too much of the news and you are getting whipped around by it. Meditate deeply and then send rays of peace and blessing to all receptive souls. If you find that the news is disturbing your peace, then meditate more and watch the news less.
Also, in your compassion and non-judgement for those who have committed the crimes, be careful to not judge those who scorn said crimes. For they have their reasons, too. Perhaps they are afraid for what might happen to those they love. If you want to "listen" to the one, then you need to listen to the other, too. In the healing prayer ministry we have received many letters from families devastated by the crimes you mention.
The universe is Infinite. We are blessed that many children with good qualities are being born to this planet. Some people refer to these spiritually gifted ones as "indigo children." But the very crimes that you mention tell us that this planet is also drawing some very troubled souls who have fundamental lessons to learn in the Do unto others as you would have them do unto you department.
You are right that we should not scorn them, and that we should try to help them before they act — if they should choose to seek help.
But these dark tendencies are something that people hide, not so much from fear of judgment of others, but for fear of having to face themselves and change. People tend to justify their tendencies until life itself makes it clear they need to change their ways. That is why there are sometimes spiritual conversions in prisons.
Furthermore, Christ said on the cross, Father, forgive them for they know not what they do. He didn't say that they know darn well what they are doing, but they don't have anyone who understands them to talk to about it. They were blind to the karma they were creating by putting Him to death.
Over the year we have received many letters from prisoners who have committed very serious crimes. Some of them have since turned their lives to prayer and meditation. We help them in every way we can, often with free books, correspondence, and other spiritual aid. Some of our Ananda ministers have gone into the prisons to offer spiritual counsel.
One prisoner wrote me a letter saying, "I did not commit this crime, and yet I know I am guilty. In my heart of hearts I realize that I got away with a very similar crime in a previous life, and that is why I accept my prison sentence now. There is no escaping karma. Please pray for me, and allow me to pray for others..."
Another prisoner had committed one of the crimes you mentioned above, pedophilia. He knew he had broken a great taboo in society, but it was only after three years in prison that he finally realized he had hurt the other person, the victim. He realized it was not simply a taboo that he had broken, but it was truly an emotional and psychological injury to the younger person.
Help already exists for those who grasp that they indeed have a problem that needs to be healed. When a person merely grasps that something is wrong because it breaks a societal taboo, then hidden in the mind is the thought that society needs to loosen up. The underlying feeling is "I am fine — but society should change."
But once a soul had changed for the better they may seek to help others with the same issues, now or in a future life. They know what it is to suffer from the particular delusion that led to their crimes. Indeed, helping other souls in that way would serve to expiate some of their karma.
We are all on an upward journey, except that sometimes the soul gets sidetracked or even trapped in a ditch of error.
Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now. - Swami Sri Yukteswar
I hope these ideas are helpful to you.
God bless you,

Hi, I was wondering if there were any prayers by Guruji or Swamiji, that I could use in the following 3 cases..
1. I'm terrified of driving after a road accident a few years ago.., is there a prayer I can say before starting the engine to help protect us on the road?
2. A Bedtime prayer that can be used with Children? Not too short or banal.
3. And also a Morning Prayer that can be used with Children.
Thank You Very Much!
Dear Kris,
First, I am sorry to hear that you had a car accident a few years ago. I assume it was serious because it has had this lasting effect on you. Many of us here at Ananda Village say a prayer before starting the car, and especially before driving off of the Ananda land. Many of us also have a small picture of Paramhansa Yogananda in our cars.
There is no prescribed prayer for this, but before you drive, see yourself and your car surrounded in a halo of light. Pray to our line of Gurus, and ask that your trip be guided, protected and blessed. Also, it is good to do other things to strength your aura. Do you have an astrological bangle? They offer a protective power. You can read about them in Chapter 16 of Autobiography of Yogi. Prayer and devotion also strength the aura, but the bangle helps us even when we have momentarily forgotten God.
You also asked about children's prayers. You will find these free resources to be helpful. Choose whichever prayers seem suitable for your child.
- Prayer Demands for Children
- Life's Little Secrets
- Healing Prayers with Children
- Finding God in Your Family
You will also enjoy this section on Family Life Resources: A Treasure Chest of Books and More. It offer free books and articles that will help you at any stage of parenting.
God bless you,

Subacute thyroiditis is an acute inflammatory disease of the thyroid probably caused by a virus. Symptoms include fever and thyroid tenderness. Initial hyperthyroidism is common, sometimes followed by a transient period of hypothyroidism. Diagnosis is clinical and with thyroid function tests. Treatment is with high doses of NSAIDs or with corticosteroids. The disease usually resolves spontaneously within months.
History of an antecedent viral URI is common. Histologic studies show less lymphocytic infiltration of the thyroid than in Hashimoto's thyroiditis or silent thyroiditis, but there is characteristic giant cell infiltration, PMNs, and follicular disruption.
There is pain in the anterior neck and fever of 37.8° to 38.3° C. Neck pain characteristically shifts from side to side and may settle in one area, frequently radiating to the jaw and ears. It is often confused with dental pain, pharyngitis, or otitis and is aggravated by swallowing or turning of the head. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are common early in the disease because of hormone release from the disrupted follicles. There is more lassitude and prostration than in other thyroid disorders. On physical examination, the thyroid is asymmetrically enlarged, firm, and tender.
Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on finding an enlarged, tender thyroid in patients with the appropriate clinical history. Thyroid testing with TSH and at least a free T4 measurement is usually also done. Radioactive iodine uptake should be measured to confirm the diagnosis. When the diagnosis is uncertain, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is useful. Thyroid ultrasonography with color Doppler shows reduced blood flow in contrast with the increased flow of Graves' disease. Laboratory findings early in the disease include an increase in free T4 and triiodothyronine (T3), a marked decrease in TSH and thyroid radioactive iodine uptake (often 0), and a high ESR. After several weeks, the thyroid is depleted of T4 and T3 stores, and transient hypothyroidism develops accompanied by a decrease in free T4 and T3, a rise in TSH, and recovery of thyroid radioactive iodine uptake. Weakly positive thyroid antibodies may be present. Measurement of free T4, T3, and TSH at 2- to 4-wk intervals identifies the stages of the disease.
Subacute thyroiditis is self-limited, generally subsiding in a few months; occasionally, it recurs and may result in permanent hypothyroidism when follicular destruction is extensive.
Discomfort is treated with high doses of aspirin Some Brand Names No US brand name Click for Drug Monograph or NSAIDs. In severe and protracted cases, corticosteroids (eg, prednisone Some Brand Names RAYOS Click for Drug Monograph 30 to 40 mg po once/day, gradually decreasing the dose over 3 to 4 wk) eradicate all symptoms within 48 h.
Bothersome hyperthyroid symptoms may be treated with a short course of a β -blocker. If hypothyroidism is pronounced or persists, thyroid hormone replacement therapy may be required, rarely permanently.

Why not enter some details and get an accurate price?
If your heart is set on some lounging around the Lizard (the peninsula at Cornwall's most southerly point), hightail it down to Silver Sands Holiday Park, where you can expect a warm-blooded welcome and natural attractions on an epic scale.
Whether you plan on simply basking in the sun, or scampering about and getting your claws into Cornwall, this site would make a great base.
It's just a one-kilometre skip down a pretty wooded path through the Lizard Nature Reserve to glorious Kennack Sands, a wonderful family beach which allows dogs at its eastern end, and the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty surrounding the park is peppered with hidden smugglers' coves, scenic coastal villages and glorious beaches.
Silver Sands Holiday Park is a small and peaceful site with a relaxed family feel; there are static caravans and lovely pitches for tourers, campervans and tents, set in well-established parkland with plenty of open space, some screened with hedging for extra privacy. Canine visitors are welcome, provided they are properly supervised.
Site type
Languages spoken
✓ English
Aside from the beach within walking distance at Kennack Sands, Silver Sands Holiday Park is also close to one of the most stunning beach locations in Cornwall: Kynance Cove, whose turquoise waters could have been lifted from a postcard from the Med.
Water babies can make the most of the milder sea temperatures (thanks to the Gulf Stream) and try diving, surfing or windsurfing at any one of the tuition centres along the local coast. Porthkerris Beach has a family-run dive centre that is particularly renowned for its shore dives, and boat dives to local wrecks or to swim with basking sharks; it also offers a comprehensive range of PADI scuba instruction.
Walking enthusiasts can fill their boots with rambles along the stunning coastline to the Lizard point and beyond, or head inland, where a favourite expedition is along the banks of the Helford river, followed by a short hop on the ferry to the eponymous Ferry Boat Inn, for some well-earned refreshment overlooking the water...
There's all kind of fishy business nearby for those angling for a bit of action: freshwater fishing at Garras, beach fishing or sea-fishing trips from one of the local ports.
Check out the iconic St Michael's Mount or one of the other National Trust properties in the vicinity; garden groupies are spoilt for choice too, with many glorious green spots in the area including Glendurgan, Trevarno and Trebah Gardens, particularly spectacular in the earlier part of the year, when wild bluebells and primroses spring into bloom and there are breathtaking displays of camellias and azaleas.
The area around Silver Sands Holiday Park is stuffed with fab family attractions for all ages too, from the doe-eyed beauties at the National Seal Sanctuary in Gweek to the swashbuckling fun of Falmouth's National Maritime Museum, the Paradise Park Wildlife Sanctuary or the engineered thrills of the Flambards Experience theme park. Visitors can explore Cornwall's mining heritage at the Poldark Mine as well as trying their hand at panning for gold or candle-making.
The bewitching fishing villages tucked along the local coastline - Mullion, Porthleven and Cadgwith - deliver both a visual and a gastronomic feast, with esteemed eateries serving up menus of many flavours, and the star turn being the local fresh fish and seafood. And don't miss a trip to one of the local farms or garden centres for the kind of Cornish cream tea that fantasies are made of...
Finally, for a special evening, you could book in advance for a concert or play in the uniquely atmospheric setting of the clifftop Minack Theatre.

Updated on 11 October 2008. |
Christine Ijeoma Ohuruogu, MBE (born 17 May 1984) is a British athlete, who specialises in the 400 metres; the event for which she is the current World and former Olympic and Commonwealth Champion.
She is a double World Champion, having also won the 400 m at the 2007 World Championships, and was a silver medalist at the Olympics in London. She has also won three World championship bronze medals in the women's 4 x 400m relay as part of the Great Britain and Northern Ireland team.
Ohuruogu's personal best time of 49.41s, set at the 2013 World Championships, beat the UK record set by Kathy Cook in 1984 by 0.02 seconds, simultaneously making her the first British female to win two World Championship titles, and the first British female to win three global titles.[2][3] She is coached by Lloyd Cowan.
Born to Igbo Nigerian parents[4][5] in Newham, east London,[6] she was raised less than one mile from the 2012 Summer Olympics stadium in Stratford.[7] She competed for Newham in the London Youth Games at both netball and athletics.[8] She was inducted into the London Youth Games Hall of Fame in 2009. Ohuruogu studied at University College London, where she graduated in Linguistics in 2005.[9] She also played netball during her undergraduate studies. She has eight siblings, one of whom is Victoria Ohuruogu, a sprints competitor. She attended St. Edward's Church of England School, Romford and Trinity Catholic High School, Woodford Green.
Ohuruogu is a member of Newham and Essex Beagles Athletics Club.
She was appointed MBE in the 2009 New Year Honours,[10][11] and conferred with an Honorary Doctorate by the University of East London.[12]
She is the author of the "Camp Gold" series of children's books about an elite training school for budding athletes.[13]
In 2003 Ohuruogu was a bronze medallist at 400 m at the European Junior Championships. She became the AAA champion in the 400 m in 2004, was a semi-finalist in the 400 m at the Athens Olympics of 2004, also taking part in the 4 x 400 m relay team that finished 4th. In the 2005 European Under 23 Championships she took the silver medal, losing individual gold by a hundredth of a second. She also won silver in the 4 x 400 m relay.
After reaching the semi-final at the 400 m at the 2005 World Championships in Athletics she won a bronze medal in the women's 4 x 400 m relay together with Lee McConnell, Donna Fraser and Nicola Sanders.
Ohuruogu won a gold medal for England in the 400 m at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in a personal best time of 50.28 seconds, beating favourite Tonique Williams-Darling in both the semi-final and the final.[14]
She was banned for a year for missing three out-of-competition drug tests; one in October 2005 and then a further two in June 2006.[15]
Within 24 days of the end of her year-long competition suspension she returned to win the gold medal at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. Fellow British athlete, Nicola Sanders won silver with Novlene Williams of Jamaica third. Ohuruogu won all three of her individual races at the world championships – her heat, her semi-final and the final.
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games, Ohuruogu missed out on a gold medal due to a mix-up caused by other members of her team. She ran the final leg in the 4 x 400 m relay for England, where the team finished over a second ahead of Australia, with Ohuruogu pulling away at the end. However after the race the Australians were awarded the gold medal, after they protested that the English team had breached IAAF Rule 170 earlier in the race, when Danvers-Smith changed position with Tamsyn Lewis. Australian winner Jana Pittman offered the England team her gold medal, stating "They set the fastest time of the day and England are the winners of the race".[16][17]
Christine Ohuruogu was suspended from competing in the 2006 European Athletics Championships because she had committed a doping violation.[18] She missed three out-of-competition drug tests, known as the "whereabouts" system, of the World Anti-Doping Code; one in October 2005 and then a further two in June 2006.[15] Under IAAF and British Olympic Association rules, she received a one-year ban for missing these tests, which expired on 5 August 2007.[19] The final test missed occurred when Ohuruogu failed to inform the testers of a last-minute change of training venue after a double-booking. Due to the circumstances, the Independent Committee stated "There is no suggestion, nor any grounds for suspicion, that the offence may have been deliberate in order to prevent testing," and that a fair ban would have been 3 months. Ohuruogu passed tests 9 days before and 3 days after her final violation.[20]
The British Olympic Association also imposed a lifetime ban on competing at future Olympic Games for Great Britain.[21] She appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, but the original decision was upheld, even though CAS emphasised that there was no suspicion of doping. Ohuruogu submitted a further appeal, citing the precedent of triathlete Tim Don.[20] Ohuruogu suggested that she would probably leave Britain and compete in the Olympics for another country if it was unsuccessful, but confessed "I haven't really given it any serious thought.".[22][23] Her Olympic ban was over-ruled on 27 November 2007.[24]
A day after her ban was finished, Ohuruogu was selected for the British team at the 2007 Athletics World Championships.[19] She had only run five competitive races before the final since her suspension; however, she won the individual 400m, taking the only gold medal for Great Britain at the Championships. Nicola Sanders won silver. Ohuruogu was also part of the bronze medal winning team in the 400 m relay. Although she became the World Champion, she was ranked No. 2 in the world behind Sanya Richards.
In Beijing, Ohuruogu won her heat against Yulia Guschina who finished 0.18 seconds behind. She won the semi-final over Shericka Williams by 0.14 seconds. In the final she became the first ever British female 400m champion, by beating the pre-race favourite Sanya Richards (bronze) and Shericka Williams (silver), with a time of 49.62s,[25] the fastest time of 2008. She was once again ranked No. 2 in the world over 400m behind Sanya Richards. [26]
In preparation for the European Indoor Championships in Turin, Ohuruogu set personal bests in the 60 metres and 200 m at the Birmingham Grand Prix.[27] She competed at the 2009 Manchester City Games, finishing second in the 150 metres final in 17.10 seconds.[28] She ran a personal best 22.85 seconds to take second place in the 200 m at the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games.[29] While she won the 400 m national title at the UKA Championships in Birmingham that July, her times and finishes over the distance at IAAF Golden League meets were unimpressive.[30] She had failed to break 51 seconds in the 2009 season; some distance behind world-leader Richards' best of 49.23 seconds.[31] A hamstring problem caused her to withdraw from the London Grand Prix, raising doubts that she would be able to defend her World title.[30] Ohuruogo's form improved in time for the 2009 World Championships, and she set a season's best time in her semi-final heat.She ran another season's best of 50.21s in the final, well behind Sanya Richards, who won in a time of 49.00s
Ohuruogu was selected for the British team at the 2011 World Championships. She was disqualified from the individual 400 m after a false start.
Ohuruogu won the silver medal at 400m in the 2012 London Olympics. In a close race Sanya Richards Ross held on to take the gold while Ohuruogu produced a fast finish to beat DeeDee Trotter and Amantle Montsho by just a few hundredths of a second to take the Silver. Trotter took Bronze and Montsho, the World Champion finished fourth. Richards-Ross won in 49.55s, Ohuruogu ran a season's best time of 49.70, which is only the third time she has run under 50 seconds. Ohuruogu said she was "heartbroken" to not be able to defend her title.
Ohuruogu claimed a second World Title on 12 August 2013, becoming the first British woman to do so, by winning the 400m final in Moscow. A late surge helped her pip Amantle Montsho in a photo finish, and beat Kathy Cook's long-standing British record in the process, with a time of 49.41s, beating Montsho by 0.004 seconds.[32]

- Conference date: 17-31 June 2002
- Location: Pisa (Italy)
After about 40 years of solar wind and heliospheric space research questions about the structure and the origin of the solar wind still await an answer. We still don't understand how the corona is heated and how the solar wind is accelerated, what are the sources for the fast and slow wind. Recent findings seem to indicate that the magnetic patterns below the sun's surface and the coronal structure are intimately connected, but quantitative connections are difficult to make. Modeling shows that the strength of the solar wind and coronal mass ejections controls the spatial and temporal response of the heliospheric boundary, while the physical state of the surrounding interstellar medium sets the boundary conditions. With a fleet of solar and heliospheric spacecraft throughout the heliosphere we have a unique situation that enables us to make substantial progress, and "Living with a Star" will add a comprehensive 3D view of the inner heliosphere. However, the fundamental questions cannot be solved without in‐situ sampling to within a few solar radii, and the heliospheric boundary will not be fully understood without crossing it.
