gk today current affairs apk Published this article : July 17th 2006 - For the first time since German reunification Germany is truly a world player again. With one of the largest militaries in Europe with about 76200 air force personnel 221000 armed forces personnel 230600 army personnel 26700 navy personnel 2300 tanks and some of the most advanced aircraft in the world in the modern German Luftwaffe Germany is truly loaded for bear. Chancellor Angela Merkel likened hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler in April of 2006 saying the world must act now to stop him before his country developed a nuclear bomb. We want we must prevent Iran from developing its nuclear program further Merkel told top policymakers from around the world in a speech to the annual Munich security conference. Referring to the rise of Hitler in the 1930s Merkel added Now we see that there were times when we could have acted differently. For that reason Germany is obliged ... to make clear (to Iran) what is permissible and what isnt. Iran has blatantly crossed the red line Merkel said. I say it as German chancellor. A president that questions Israels right to exist a president that denies the Holocaust cannot expect to receive any tolerance from Germany. In addition to the nuclear dilemma Iran is considered to be one of the biggest state sponsors of terrorism. And now with the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah Iran along with Syria are being called the puppet masters pulling the strings of Hezbollah and is accused of supplying rockets and arms to the terrorist organization. Unfortunately Germany seems to also realize that Irans missile capability may also threaten the German homeland its self in addition to Israel. It is accepted belief that Iran currently has the capability to not only reach Israel but major sections of Europe including Germany. With rapid development of the Shahab-3 MRBM with a range of 1300 km its almost a shoe in that Iran could indeed reach Germany soon if in fact they could not already. Even more disturbing is The Rumsfeld Commission further reported that Iran has the technical capability to test an ICBM-range missile capable of hitting the United States A 10000 km-range Iranian missile could hold the U.S. at risk in an arc extending northeast of a line from Philadelphia Pennsylvania to St. Paul Minnesota. The United States Britain Germany and France have made it clear in June they want an answer from Iran by the July 15-17 summit of the Group of Eight (G8) nations in St. Petersburg Russia. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran would give its answer by August 22 prompting President Bush to complain that Iran was dragging its feet. This makes me wonder what Iran has up its sleeve when you add 2 and 2 together it comes up to trouble. First Iran ramps up its rhetoric then Iran puts on a demonstration of military weapons then Iran tries to stall the deadline on ceasing its uranium enrichment program until August and now during the G8 summit which was stated as the deadline Hezbollah starts a war with Israel. In a speech carried on state television July 16th supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei branded Zionists as an evil and cancerous being and an infected tumor. The Zionists wanted Lebanon to be the meat between their teeth. The powerful limbs of Hezbollah have prevented the Zionists dream of trouble from being realized Khamenei said. His comments on the fifth day of an Israeli onslaught against its northern neighbor following Hezbollahs capture of two soldiers prompted chants of Hezbollah will win Israel will be destroyed. Khamenei replied Yes that is what we say. With rhetoric like that how can you not consider Iran as a key planner in the conflict? Obviously the Iranian president and the Ayatollahs that pull his strings are being taken as madmen and Im sure that this is the case however I dont believe that they are stupid. They must know that sooner or later someone is going to take action be it Israel the United States or Germany so what are the Iranians planning? Now take into account the recent missile tests in North Korea as a thumb in the eye to the western world and Japan and the widely held belief that Sadam Huseins weapons of mass destruction were funneled into Syria before the Iraq war and I think we have a recipe for disaster. German chancellor stated during a joint press conference with United States President Bush in Stralsund Germany on July 13th that the responsibility for dealing with such countries as Iran ought to be shouldered by more and more countries -- that goes for Russia that goes for China. So what if Russia and China do nothing or even worse and block efforts to sanction or hold Iran accountable? Do we then look at yet another unilateral military action with only a handful of countries such as Germany the United States Brittain and Israel? And what if Iran North Korea and Syria plan on creating another world war as a new Axis power? This is why I believe that Germany will not allow this to go that far I would not be surprised if we saw German Tornado fighter bombers flying sorties over Iran in the next few weeks. Hitler and Nazi Germany is still very much a raw nerve in Germany today and I would not only be surprised but disappointed if Germany did not take the lead in neutralizing the Iranian threat soon. Not only should Germany take the lead in removing the current Iranian regime it must. Iran is a huge country with waves of fanatical Basij fighters that are basically units of human wave suicide bombers. During the Iran-Iraq war Iran created and mobilized the Basij units against the Iraqi lines which basically amounted to human waves of lightly armed (if armed at all) fanatics to rush the Iraqis until they ran out of munitions. This is the very tactic that kept Iraq from winning the war. With the United States bogged down in Iraq and the necessity to keep troops deployed in South Korea the Germans will almost certainly need to take a pivotal lead role in any action against Iran. How about this for irony Germany and Israel leading a war against a fascist regime that wants to exterminate the Jews? gk today current affairs apk

gktoday current affairs archive Published this article : In October 2005 Parliamentary Assembly of Europe members tabled a draft resolution castigating the human rights situation in the province of Vojvodina. As EU accession looms larger for Serbia and Montenegro such resolutions are bound to proliferate. Vojvodina is widely regarded as a test case and the touchstone of Serbias post-Milosevic reforms. Milosevic is still a hate figure in Vojvodina. Until he abolished it in 1989 the northern region bordering on Hungary enjoyed an autonomy granted by Titos successive constitutions. Vojislav Kostunica the current prime minister of erstwhile rump Yugoslavia and a one time winner of the first round of elections for the presidency of Serbia has replaced the deposed autocrat as chief villain. His opponent the reform-minded Miroljub Labus won convincingly only in Vojvodina and southwestern Serbia in the self-same elections. Exactly four years ago the provincial assembly of Vojvodina sacked the regions deputy prime minister a Kostunica crony and upgraded the status of Novi Sad to capital city. The assemblys speaker stormed into the building of Novi Sads TV and radio to protest a Belgrade appointment. Serb radicals demanded full self-government the large Hungarian minority - one eighth of Vojvodinas two million strong populace - petitioned for self-rule in locales with a Magyar majority moderates urged Belgrade to start negotiating soon. Hungary under the previous prime minister Viktor Orban agitated aggressively on behalf of its ethnic kin. It looked as though Vojvodina is about to join the ranks of independence-prone Kosovo and Montenegro. Many Vojvodina Serbs still regard it as central European having been part of the Habsburg empire until 1918. Vojvodinas denizens - pro-Western highly educated intellectuals members of the free professions and globe-trotting businessmen - were horrified by the barbarity of Yugoslavias tortured demise. They now act as the self-appointed conscience of Serbia and Montenegro. In June 2002 Nenad Canak the head of the provincial parliament demanded the prosecution of journalists who contributed to warmongering during Milosevics reign. As reported by Radio B92 the organizers in Novi Sad in August 2002 of Blood and Honey an exhibition of photo-journalists Ron Havivs work in the Balkan in the 1990s wrote in a letter addressed to Kostunica among others Why do you keep silent regarding nationalistic and chauvinistic behavior? Why is this problem being ignored? This is obviously not an isolated incident but an organized planned and financed action. Does this mean that you are turning a blind eye to the truth? The [truth] is simple - wars happened and crimes were committed in them crimes that we will have to face sooner or later. Even their dismay at NATOs surgical demolition during the 1999 Kosovo campaign of their three economically-critical bridges over the Danube and their only oil refinery did not turn them into anti-Western xenophobes. Finally in January-February 2001 and again in January-February 2002 the Serbian parliament restored some of the territorys previous powers and privileges - over its finances agriculture health care justice education tourism sports the media and social services. Mile Icakov a triumphant parliamentarian from the late Djindjics DOS umbrella grouping of reformist parties quoted by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty uttered this veiled admonition Thats something we had and thats something that belonged to us and nobody has to grant it to us but to return back what was taken away against the law and against the constitution... Everyone in Serbia has already agreed on the largest-possible autonomy for Kosovo. Nothing will change if they do the same for Vojvodina. It would be fair to give Vojvodina the [same rights]. Its not fair that the bad kid gets everything he asks for and the good kid gets nothing. Yet the omission to tackle Vojvodinas grievances - or even to consult it - in the March 14 2002 EU-sponsored Agreement on Restructuring Relations between Serbia and Montenegro irritated the disgruntled province. Vojvodina is not only Yugoslavias bread basket it also harbors its nascent oil industry and many of its blue-chips. As a result it is a net contributor to the federal budget and subsidizes the other parts of the rump Yugoslavia. It produces two firth of Serbia and Montenegros dwindling GDP and attracts two thirds of its foreign direct investment - with only one fifth of its population. In January 2002 the French multinational Lafarge bought a majority stake in the Beocin cement factory near Novi Sad. It paid $51 million of which Vojvodina is likely to see very little. Five loss making sugar factories were next in line. Serbias privatization minister pledged to plough back one quarter of all future privatization receipts into the local economy. Then Serbian Minister of Agriculture Forestry and Water Management Dragan Veselinov offered to subsidize sugar beet soybean and sunflower crops and to buy 280000 tons of wheat in 2003. But these belated pre-election bribes did not soothe jangled nerves. During the 1990s Vojvodina was reluctantly flooded with Serb refugees from Bosnia Croatia and Kosovo. The invasion altered its character. The erstwhile bastion of tolerant Austro-Hungarian culture has been Balkanized and rendered discernibly more nationalistic corruption-ridden and fractious. Neo-fascist anti-Semitic revisionist racist pro-Greater Serbia and skinhead organizations proliferate. The two pillars of the movement for self-governance are therefore nostalgia and money. gktoday current affairs archive

banking services chronicle may 2020 Published this article page no Ahhh jumping the broom. Its not for everyone but its manageable if you have the right information. I was completely caught off guard by some of the situations Ive encountered in nearly eleven years of holy matrimony and if youre not prepared youll be running full speed ahead back to the single life. Fortunately my husband and I loved each other enough to pull our family together and live happily ever after. You say you want happily ever after also? Well I submit to you a list of valuable lessons Ive learned throughout the years. Of course I cant really promise you eternal love but a few of these tips will save you from unnecessary suffering guaranteed. *Be crowned the king/queen of two-timing BEFORE you commit In other words its so much easier to play the field while youre single instead of getting married and deciding you want to see a whole lot of other people. Seems like this would be easy to figure out right? Well apparently its not. Some people dont realize the big mess theyve created until its way too late and theyre unable to come back from it. Can you say Alimony monthly child-support payments and a second job to support yourself? Not to mention various sexually transmitted diseases some fatal. *Marry someone you are also friends with. Declare to spend the rest of your life with someone who really likes you as a person not just as a sexual partner. Sometimes sex will be nonexistent for short periods of time (pregnancy illness). If you and your better half like each other as well as love each other the foundation that was built on friendship will be more than enough to get you through those rough patches. Besides being best friends with your spouse makes marriage so much more fun! *Dont put your spouse on a pedestal Everyone makes mistakes so leave room for plenty of them. If youre looking for the perfect spouse and marriage youre probably living in a fantasy world. Simple rules apply in our vows but we all act a little human sometimes and vows become the hardest thing in the world to stick to. This is to be expected so try not to come down too hard on your other half for not being a saint at all times and the two of you will be just fine. *Leave the past in the past Geez are you still nagging about all those awful things that happened three years ago. Get over it. No one wants to hear the remix of how much of a jackass they used to be especially when you all agreed to work it out and things are going great. If you just cant stop bringing it up every five minutes maybe its time to seek counseling. Otherwise concentrate on the good things and push forward. *Put your spouse and children first Nothing is going to send you to divorce court faster than in-law drama. I know you want everyone to get along but understand that you are not responsible for your mother father or siblings happiness. Your main responsibility is to keep your house in order. If your parents and siblings cant get with the program be prepared to take a hiatus from them until they have learned to respect you and your mate. If something in them forbids them to do so stay true to the one who really matters and that should be you. If you truly want a successful marriage sometimes you have to learn to love from a distance. *Never disrespect your home You already know your family hates your husband/wife so stop going to them and talking behind his or her back whenever you two have an argument. One it just makes your family loathe your spouse even more and two your marriage is on the wrong track if youre pouring salt on your significant other. Also keep your house a home by not having the wrong people coming and going. This is bad for any relationship married or not. Keep the drama queen/king out of your house theyre only looking to start trouble. *Keep marital advice from someone who isnt married to a minimum Realistically you probably shouldnt take marital advice from someone who has never been married just like you probably shouldnt take childrearing advice from someone who doesnt have kids. I know it sounds a little harsh but it makes sense. Would you take flight instruction from someone who has never even had flight training? I wouldnt. In my experience my unmarried friends have never said anything that could help my marriage. (Sorry guys I know you tried but...) Personally I like to seek advice from older experienced couples. There is no better way to prepare for marital warfare than to get guidance from someone who has already been in combat and survived. *Support your husband or wifes endeavors Why do you shoot down every idea your sweetie comes up with? Will it really kill you to be supportive for once? No one will exist on a single thought for the rest of their lives. Realize that people grow and with growth comes change. Its understandable your spouse has aspirations outside of going to work and paying bills. Is your opposing attitude holding him back from starting that small business? Are you laughing her away from her dream of becoming an actress? Be supportive of your life companions dreams because if it works out for them it will really work out for you. *Keep passion alive! She used to wear sexy boy shorts while the two of you were dating but since youve been married and had two children all shes worn to bed are her gigantic granny bloomers. He used to say something flattering to you everyday but now he barely notices you. These are common complaints and it can wreak havoc in a marriage. Life is busy and we all get weary from our day-to-day affairs but just remember to take a little time out to spoil your spouse every once in a while. Let them know that you havent forgotten about them and you appreciate all of their efforts. Show them that you are still the person they fell in love with even though life can get in the way. Your partner will surely return the favor. *Communicate often Talk to your spouse everyday about something other than the kids the house and the bills. Even if you dont spend a lot of time in the house together a cell phone will solve that problem. Be sure to get some time to yourselves go out on a date every once in a while or just snuggle on the couch and talk about constructive things. In my opinion communication is the key to a successful marriage. Who wants to spend the rest of their life with someone who wont even talk? Who wants to have a disagreement but not be able to discuss it intelligently? Im a huge fan of heated discussions. At least were communicating not going in a room slamming the door and stewing for hours. Lets hash it out get it over with and make up. And who doesnt like making up? Wink. Dont forget to *Pray! Pray everyday for your marriage your home and children. Prayer can bring reassurance and ease your mind when things go haywire. Do you know what would be even better? Pray together. You already know the saying “the family that prays together stays together!

banking services chronicle pdf Published this article page no In a world where men and women often spend more time with their BlackBerrys and iPhones than they do with other each other the longing for shared experiences and face-to-face interaction has become palpable. According to Mary Vallone President of Highlife Adventures (www.highlifeadventures.com) an upscale social club for singles in Chicago and Indianapolis this is especially true when it comes to dating. “Men and women are stepping out from the anonymity of the online dating world and reclaiming their lives Vallone says. “Todays singles not only want to meet people who share their interests but they also want to share real-life experiences with like-minded potential mates. For many singles this trend toward group activities based on common interests breaks new ground in the dating arena. “In a sense were going back to the future says Vallone. “Its as though the ice cream social of the early 20th century has been kicked up several notches. Indeed Highlife Adventures 3000 Chicagoland members would be hard-pressed to find an ice cream social among the over 65 activities planned each month. Those who crave adventure can go parasailing caving or experience being a fighter pilot for a day. Music aficionados can revel in a hot night of cool jazz or attend a rock star fantasy camp while those with cultural interests can attend a performance of the Chicago Symphony or a Frank Lloyd Wright tour. Members who enjoy the club scene can participate in a trolley pub-crawl a moonlight party cruise or events like “Martinis and Manicures or “Pots n Shots Pottery Class. Vallone explains that Highlife Adventures approach serves to bring people together in a pressure-free setting. “When you attend an event youre meeting people you already have something in common with and who are all there to meet you she says. “And when youre having fun you let your guard down and are more likely to meet the right person. This new dating trend is in stark contrast to the bar scene of the 1980s the one-on-one matching services of the 1990s and the speed dating phenomena that peaked a few years ago. “Not all singles like to hang out in bars many dont care for the pressure of sequential one-on-one dates and most people find that speed dating is too superficial says Vallone. And while online dating may appeal to the college crowd many of the 25- to 45-year-olds in Highlife Adventures membership have “been there done that. According to Vallone “Meeting people online can be fun but also fraught with pitfalls. Singles fare better when they put down the mouse get out of the house and meet people face-to-face. Highlife Adventures helps ensure their members experiences are positive by prescreening potential members in person and having a company representative at each event. Ultimately Vallone concludes “We dont match anyone. Instead we provide unique fun events where groups of singles can meet one another and find what they seek – whether its a friend a date or a soulmate. banking services chronicle pdf
