Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed will deliver the invocation from ancient Sanskrit scriptures before the House. After Sanskrit delivery, he then will read the English interpretation of the prayer. Sanskrit is considered a sacred language in Hinduism and root language of Indo-European languages.

 

Zed, who is the President of Universal Society of Hinduism, will recite from Rig-Veda, the oldest scripture of the world still in common use; besides lines from Upanishads and Bhagavad-Gita (Song of the Lord), both ancient Hindu scriptures. He plans to start and end the prayer with “Om”, the mystical syllable containing the universe, which in Hinduism is used to introduce and conclude religious work.

 

Reciting from Brahadaranyakopanishad, Rajan Zed plans to say “Asato ma sad gamaya, Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya, Mrtyor mamrtam gamaya”, which he will then interpret as “Lead us from the unreal to the real, Lead us from darkness to light, and Lead us from death to immortality.” Reading from Bhagavad-Gita, he proposes to urge Representatives to keep the welfare of others always in mind.

 

Zed is a global Hindu and interfaith leader. Bestowed with World Interfaith Leader Award; Zed is Senior Fellow and Religious Advisor to Foundation for Religious Diplomacy, Spiritual Advisor to National Association of Interchurch & Interfaith Families, on the Advisory Board of The Interfaith Peace Project, etc. He has been panelist for “On Faith”, a prestigious interactive conversation on religion produced by The Washington Post; and leads a weekly interfaith panel “Faith Forum” in a Gannett publication for over seven years.

Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about 1.1 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.

M Hotel Downtown by Millennium Dubai endorses RateTiger for online distribution F

NewsPatrolling.com :  M Hotel Downtown by Millenium has improved their online sales through eRevMax’s seamless connectivity with leading OTAs. The 4-star property has been using RTConnect to update rate and inventory across online sales channels and receive reservations into their property management system (PMS).

Middle East is the fastest-growing region for travel with UAE being the dominant market. With over 15 million overnight visitors, Dubai has seen double digit growth in mid-market travel segment. The city, being the business and shopping hub in the region with the highest smartphone penetration, has seen major shift in the entire travel value chain due to digitization – from travel research to booking to guest engagement. 

Prior to RateTiger, M Hotel tried various channel managers to update rates and allotments on different OTAs but there was still a lot of manual task involved. Being a popular choice of guests, not having the ability to immediately update its rooms and rates was a potential handicap for its revenue stream and constant hindrance on staff. The extreme competition in Dubai hospitality sector fuelled by additional supply of rooms in the city has made managing online sales channels even more complex.

“The biggest challenge that we faced with our earlier distribution solutions was the time delay in sending ARI update to all channels. Proper distribution of rates and availability is very vital in eliminating parity issues which is an ongoing challenge with most of the hotels and one of the top most measurement factor which affects your search ranking in OTAs. RateTiger has really changed that considerably given the amount of data which is pushed to the channel manager,” said Unni Krishnan, Revenue Manager, M Hotel Downtown by Millenium.

RTConnect’s pool inventory model allows Unni and his team to continuously distribute its live rates and inventory to multiple booking channels and deliver updates back into its property management system (PMS) in real-time, without worrying about overbooking. eRevMax’s stable 2-way XML connection with all leading online sales channels have allowed them to easily connect with better performing OTAs.

“RateTiger seems to be following the most important rule of the technology world ‘Keeping it simple but powerful’!” summarized Unni Krishnan.

eRevMax is known for its stable solutions with 99% product uptime. While other companies struggle to offer continuous connectivity, eRevMax has invested in building a robust infrastructure to provide hoteliers with uninterrupted service over the last 17 years. The company offers excellent connectivity with over 350 online channels and provides 24x7 support.

Reliance and Sun Pharma showed some encouraging signs

NewsPatrolling.com: “Our markets had a quiet opening with a mildly positive bias taking cues from the other major Asian peers. However, the index lost its lead immediately in the first half an hour of the trade to slide below previous day’s low. Once again, few index heavyweights came for a rescue and managed to lift the index higher to close almost at the day’s high.

 

As we had pointed out in the previous article, the index seems a bit tired and does not have the similar sort of strength we saw in last couple of weeks. This is quite evident as it has entered a strong resistance zone of 10400 – 10500. For the coming session, 10350 would now be seen as a key support for the Nifty. A sustainable slide below this would apply brakes on the recent relief rally. However, having said that if we look at today’s recovery to close near day’s high, it’s an indication of index extending this move towards the recent swing high of 10478. Hence, first half an hour would be quite crucial and traders are advised to keep a close watch on this development. 

 

Today, although the recovery was mainly led by the IT conglomerates, there were two other heavyweights who had an interesting close. First one being the ‘Reliance Industries’, which is poised for a good trading move and other was Pharmaceutical marquee name ‘Sun Pharmaceutical’, gearing up for a strong momentum.”

 

How Milk Reduces Risk of Type 2 Diabetes

Niryas.com (full cream organic milk manufacturer) : Milk and dairy products are among the food items that are consumed globally and we have been doing so since many generations. However, in recent times, milk and milk products have come under attack from certain sources. There are claims that milk may not be as healthy as it is made out to be. So, what should you do as a consumer? Should you stop having your glass of milk or stop consuming dairy products? Well, probably not! It's because there's enough evidence to support the benefits of milk and milk products. One of those benefits is that milk and milk products can help reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

One of the major problems affecting humanity today is obesity, which in itself is problematic and it also increases the risk of other diseases such as Type 2 diabetes. The obesity epidemic is a global phenomenon, which is why it's necessary to identify what's causing it. Some reports claim that milk is linked to obesity and consequently the development of Type 2 diabetes. However, such claims are not true since research studies reveal a different picture. In a recent study, it has been revealed that children with highest intake of dairy products faced 38 percent less risk of being overweight or obese, as compared to children with lowest diary intake. The study also revealed that adding one more serving of dairy per day reduced the risk of being overweight or obese by 13 percent.

The above study clearly reveals that milk and milk products do not lead to weight gain or obesity. There have also been studies that have tried to find out any direct link between dairy consumption and diabetes. The results of these studies have either shown no clear evidence or have confirmed the benefits of consuming milk and milk products. The findings of these studies have been consistent with a Mendelian randomization study that utilized genetic polymorphisms for the lactase gene. It was observed that lactose tolerance did not lead to an increased risk of obesity or type 2 diabetes.

Milk and milk products actually help prevent obesity and Type 2 diabetes since they are rich in high-quality protein. These superior proteins have a satiating effect on hunger, which naturally prevents over-consumption of food. Milk and milk products also aid in muscle protein synthesis, which is very useful for weight loss and weight maintenance after weight loss.These findings are based on various cohort studies involving thousands of study subjects. As such, you can rest assured about the benefits of milk and consume it every day for improved health and energy.

Moreover, there are other factors such as stress, anxiety, depression, etc. that can lead to weight gain.

Ayurvedic treatment for weight loss involves a comprehensive approach that includes massage therapies, certain Ayurvedic medications and lifestyle changes. The aim is to work on eliminating the root cause of the ailment, so that effective and long-lasting benefits can be provided. Reducing stress is the key to weight loss, which is achievedthrough the Ayurvedic treatment of Panchakarma. This includes various therapies such as Shirodhara, Nasyakarma, Kativasti, Januvasti, and Ayurveda massage. An Ayurveda doctor will create a personalized Ayurvedic treatment plan for your weight loss, based on your medical examination and health profile.

Ayurvedic treatment can not only help you get rid of the stubborn belly fat, but it will also enrich your personal and professional life in ways that you never thought was possible.

Nearly one billion people in Africa to be protected against Yellow fever by 2026

NewsPatrolling.com : NewsPatrolling.com :  Nearly one billion people will be vaccinated against yellow fever in 27 high-risk African countries by 2026 with support from WHO, Gavi – the Vaccine Alliance, UNICEF and more than 50 health partners.

The commitment is part of the Eliminate Yellow fever Epidemics (EYE) in Africa strategy, which was launched by Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, Professor Isaac Folorunso Adewole, Nigeria’s Minister of Health and partners at a regional meeting in Abuja, Nigeria on Tuesday (10 April).

"The world is facing an increased risk of Yellow fever outbreaks and Africa is particularly vulnerable," said Dr Tedros. "With one injection we can protect a person for life against this dangerous pathogen. This unprecedented commitment by countries will ensure that by 2026 Africa is free of Yellow fever epidemics."

During the three-day EYE strategy regional launch meeting representatives from key African countries, WHO, UNICEF, Gavi, and other partners are developing a roadmap on how to roll-out the EYE strategy at national level. This implementation effort follows the endorsement of the strategy by African Ministers of Health at the 67th WHO regional committee in September 2017.

"This comprehensive, global strategy offers an unprecedented opportunity to end the devastating Yellow fever epidemics that periodically impact Africa," said Dr Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. "Ensuring that the most vulnerable communities have access to the vaccine through routine systems plays a central role in making this happen. Vaccine manufacturers and Gavi partners have worked hard to improve the global vaccine supply situation in recent years to make sure there is enough vaccine to respond to outbreaks, allow preventive campaigns and that routine immunization functions at full capacity."

The three objectives of the strategy include protecting at-risk populations through preventive mass vaccination campaigns and routine immunization programmes, preventing international spread, and containing outbreaks rapidly. Developing strong surveillance with robust laboratory networks is key to these efforts.

UNICEF will make vaccines available, advocate for greater political commitment and provide support in vaccinating children through routine immunization as well as during outbreaks of the disease.

"Today, the threat of yellow fever looms larger than ever before, especially for thousands of children across Africa," said Stefan Peterson, UNICEF’s Chief of Health. "Given that almost half of the people to be vaccinated are children under 15 years of age, this campaign is critical to saving children’s lives, and would go a long way toward stamping out this disease."

After outbreaks of Yellow fever in densely populated cities in Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo caused 400 deaths in 2016, the acute viral haemorrhagic disease re-emerged as a serious global public health threat. Brazil is currently battling its worst outbreak of Yellow fever in decades with more than 1,000 confirmed cases. The ease and speed of population movements, rapid urbanization and a resurgence of mosquitoes due to global warming have significantly increased the risk of urban outbreaks with international spread.

Experience in West Africa demonstrates that the EYE strategy can work. When Yellow fever re-emerged as a public health issue in the early 2000s, countries in the region controlled the epidemics through preventive mass campaigns combined with routine immunization. No yellow fever epidemics have been recorded since in countries which successfully implemented this approach.

Hard Rock Casino in Dominican Republic apologizes & removes “Hindu Pizza” after Hindu protest

NewsPatrolling.com (Media partnered with http://Newzopedia.com , webeesocial.com , ayushmaanbhavah.com niryas.com ) : Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), which  had a “Hindu Pizza” on its menu containing “chicken tikka masala with yogurt, cilantro and mint”, has removed the pizza and apologized to the protesting Hindus.

Anmarí Pérez, Customer Care Manager of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana, in an email to distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who spearheaded the protest, wrote: “We sincerely apologize and addressed the issue immediately.” “Hindu Pizza” has now reportedly been removed from both restaurant and online menus and all other materials.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada today, thanked Orlando (Florida) headquartered Hard Rock International ((HRI), whose tagline is “Love All, Serve All”, for understanding the concerns of Hindu community which thought it was highly insensitive.

Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, had termed it as a trivialization of the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.1 billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought.

Zed had pointed out that Hindus were mostly vegetarian and selling a meat topped pizza in their name was highly inappropriate. No faith, larger or smaller, should be taken frivolously and mishandled for mercantile greed, Zed added.

Rajan Zed suggests that HRI and other companies should send their senior executives for training in religious and cultural sensitivity so that they have an understanding of the feelings of customers and communities when introducing new products or launching advertising campaigns.

“Hindu Pizza” was available at the Pizzeto restaurant (in HRI’s largest property located in Punta Cana) which opens daily from 12pm to next day 7am and has a “Dress Code”.

HRI, whose history goes back to 1971; owns-operates restaurants, hotels, live performance venues and casinos globally and sells collectible fashion and music-related merchandise. It claims: “no one does hospitality like us” and it recently launched “Rock Om”; “an in-room yoga experience, energizing the body and soul through the power of music.” It delivers “Rock Om yoga kit” to each hotel room free of charge. Select HRI hotels also reportedly offer live, on-site yoga classes.

Hindus push for Diwali holiday in Texas’ Frisco School District

NewsPatrolling.com (Media partnered with Newzopedia.com , webeesocial.com , ayushmaanbhavah.com niryas.com) Hindus are urging Frisco Independent School District (FISD), 30 miles north of Dallas with 23.84% students Asian, to proclaim official holiday on Diwali, most popular of Hindu festivals.

 

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, said that Diwali holiday in FISD would be a step in the positive direction in view of presence of a substantial number of Hindu students in the District; as it was important to meet the religious and spiritual needs of these pupils.

 

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that FISD should seriously and speedily work towards declaring Diwali (which falls on November seven in 2018) as a holiday, thus recognizing the intersection of spirituality and education. Zed noted that awareness about other religions thus created by such holidays like Diwali would make FISD students well-nurtured, well-balanced, and enlightened citizens of tomorrow.

 

Diwali fell on October 19 in 2017 and six New York school districts declared holiday for students on October 19, which included: East Meadow School District, East Williston Union Free School District, Half Hollow Hills Central School District, Herricks Union Free School District, Hicksville Union Free School District and Syosset Central School District. Mineola Union Free School District announced that no home work or examinations would be given on Diwali, reports suggest.

 

For 2017 in New Jersey; Glen Rock Public Schools announced closure of schools and offices on Diwali; in West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District, schools were closed on October 19; and in Piscataway Township Schools, there was “No School for Students” on Diwali. And recently Millburn Township Public Schools announced Diwali day off for students for the next three years and Edison Township Public Schools proclaimed “no school for students” for Diwali in 2018, reports add.

 

In 2017 Unionville-Chadds Ford School District headquartered in Kennett Square in Pennsylvania approved closure of schools on Diwali; while Harvard Public Schools in Massachusetts declared October 19 as “early release day”. Recently, Council Rock School District in Newtown (Pennsylvania), approved Diwali as an official school holiday in its 2018-2019 calendar, reports note.

 

Rajan Zed further said that it was important for Hindu families to celebrate Diwali day together at home with their children. Closing schools on Diwali would ensure that and would also display how respectful and accommodating FISD was to their faith.

 

Zed indicates that Hinduism is rich in festivals and religious festivals are very dear and sacred to Hindus. Diwali, the festival of lights, aims at dispelling the darkness and lighting up the lives and symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

 

Hinduism is oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.1 billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. There are about three million Hindus in USA.

 

Awards-winning FISD, headquartered in Frisco (Texas) and whose history goes back to 1850, has reportedly 58,461 students in 68 schools (with four more opening in 2018). One of the fastest growing public school districts in USA, it covers 75 square miles in Collin and Denton counties; including most of the City of Frisco and portions of neighboring Plano, McKinney and Little Elm. FISD’s mission is “to know every student by name and need”. Dr. Mike Waldrip and John Classe are Superintendent and Trustees President respectively.

Global worries resulted into a liquidation of recent positions: Angel Broking

Newspatrolling.com : “Today, our benchmarks opened marginally higher and then consolidated within a small range throughout the first half. However, we witnessed a complete nosedive in the late afternoon after some fresh worries arising on the global trade war. Eventually, a sustained selling resulted into a sharp cut of more than a percent from its previous close.

 

At one point in the morning, the Nifty was trading well above the higher boundary (10250) of ‘Falling Channel’. Obviously, the daily close was essential to fulfill requirements; but, looking at the intraday momentum, a possibility of this relief rally getting extended was quite high. But, as always market surprises, once again some negative developments on the global front spooked traders to liquidate their recent positions. For the coming session, the immediate hurdle is placed in the zone of 10187 – 10230; whereas, on the downside, last Wednesday’s low of 10096would be seen as a crucial support. Any sustainable move below this would reinforce selling pressure to test 10049 – 10000 levels.

 

However, if we take a close look of top 6 – 7 heavyweight constituents, it does not indicate immediate correction from current levels. Hence, in case, if this correction extends, this would probably once again be a weak attempt of fall. Considering all these uncertainties, traders are advised to stay light and ideally should continue to follow stock specific approach.”

Hard Rock” apologizes & removes “Hindu Pizza” after Hindu protest

NewsPatrolling.com (Media partnered with newzopedia.com , niryas.com , webeesocial.com, ayushmaanbhavah.com):Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), which  had a “Hindu Pizza” on its menu containing “chicken tikka masala with yogurt, cilantro and mint”, has removed the pizza and apologized to the protesting Hindus.

Anmarí Pérez, Customer Care Manager of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana, in an email to distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, who spearheaded the protest, wrote: “We sincerely apologize and addressed the issue immediately.” “Hindu Pizza” has now reportedly been removed from both restaurant and online menus and all other materials.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, in a statement in Nevada today, thanked Orlando (Florida) headquartered Hard Rock International ((HRI), whose tagline is “Love All, Serve All”, for understanding the concerns of Hindu community which thought it was highly insensitive.

Rajan Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, had termed it as a trivialization of the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about 1.1 billion adherents and a rich philosophical thought.

Zed had pointed out that Hindus were mostly vegetarian and selling a meat topped pizza in their name was highly inappropriate. No faith, larger or smaller, should be taken frivolously and mishandled for mercantile greed, Zed added.

Rajan Zed suggests that HRI and other companies should send their senior executives for training in religious and cultural sensitivity so that they have an understanding of the feelings of customers and communities when introducing new products or launching advertising campaigns.

“Hindu Pizza” was available at the Pizzeto restaurant (in HRI’s largest property located in Punta Cana) which opens daily from 12pm to next day 7am and has a “Dress Code”.

HRI, whose history goes back to 1971; owns-operates restaurants, hotels, live performance venues and casinos globally and sells collectible fashion and music-related merchandise. It claims: “no one does hospitality like us” and it recently launched “Rock Om”; “an in-room yoga experience, energizing the body and soul through the power of music.” It delivers “Rock Om yoga kit” to each hotel room free of charge. Select HRI hotels also reportedly offer live, on-site yoga classes.

Reactions from SUFI and Global Ocean Group on E-Way Bill

Quote from Mr. Nikunj Turakhia, President of Steel Users Federation of India (SUFI)

“SUFI welcomes implementation of e way bill for inter-state transactions from 1st April 2018. After failing to implement inter-state e way bill on 1st feb 2018 due to software glitches, this time government has made sure that the server does not crash and runs seamlessly.

The introduction of e way bill is expected to plug any leakages in GST revenue and will further strengthen compliance as well as bring more of unorganized players to organised .However multi destination and multi state transactions still remain cumbersome and needs to be simplified further. We are sure as we move forward GST regime will become  more simpler and in the words of honorable Prime Minister will be truly GOOD and SIMPLE TAX. Let us hope for the best.”

Quote from Mr. Brijesh Lohia, Managing Director of Global Ocean Group

“With the relaunch of inter-state e-way bill from April 1, we hope that this time the process is smooth and quick. The February 1 launch turned out to be a fiasco as the system which was expected to handle a daily load of 6 lakh inter-state e-way bills per day crashed within the first hour. This time the government has assured that now the GSTN portal can handle 75 lakh inter-state bills a day. While we welcome this move but we want to see how disruptive this proves to be for the logistics companies.

Logistics industry has always been heavily dependent on the unorganised sector, and the e-way Bill is expected to transition this to organised sector.  The transition might take time as the final form of the e-way bill is yet to take shape. The bill is also expected to improve logistics efficiency but many fear that in fact it will make the whole process cumbersome and costly.

However, the real test lies in the proper implementation of the Bill, otherwise it will create more issues for us.
