[5/15]Middle East To Be A Knowledge Hub

Dubai's ruler has recently made an announcement of donating $10bn for a newly formed education body. The idea behind this charity is to raise the standards of education and create more jobs for the Arab people. The foundation, called after the ruler's name, the Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum Foundation, is expected to work on human development in the Middle East. As per Sheikh's own words, Arabs needed to develop a "knowledge-based society" to meet with the challenges of a new millennium. There is a growing fear across the Arab world that a lacking education and scientific research might adversely affect their economic growth.

Despite having attained a fair deal of economic growth in the last few decades, the Arab world is still adamant in accepting the outside world's influences, which includes modern education and scientific knowhow. They may cooperate with the outside world for economic reasons, but wouldn't allow that association to grow any further. The prevalence of orthodox Islam makes it only difficult for them to have any significant exchanges with the outside world. As a result many look at modern education with a shade of suspicion. There is a growing sense among the more aware people however, that this attitude might be taking them towards a disaster.

One can easily understand the reason of this growing concern by looking at the education scenario in the Arab world. While the rate of illiteracy among the Arab women is more than 40%, the quality of education for those who are literate is not very encouraging either. The number of books being published across the whole of Arab world is less than what Turkey does it alone. The knowledge gap of the Middle East from that of the developed Asia and West is mind boggling. There is no room for any complacency left anymore, and one required undertaking serious reforms in the area of modern education. As per Dubai's Sheikh himself, they could no longer ignore the significance of modern education, since much of the outside world was already leaps ahead in that sphere.

The proposed foundation is expected to develop not only education, but also create more jobs. Most of the Arab world is experiencing a rapid population growth and requires generating 15 million jobs immediately. This deficit of jobs might rise up to 80 million by the year 2035. There was an urgent need for creating more awareness among the entrepreneurs therefore, and allow them to have better training. Growing infrastructure was already made the top priority by most Arab nations; however it might not help in the longer run, unless they had a strong workforce of ethnic Arabs ready to assume charge.

Sheikh Mohammed, who is also known for his keen interest of racehorses, announced his latest charity plan at the World Economic Forum, organized recently in Jordan. It is being touted as one of the largest donations of its kind in the man’s history. One will have to wait to know now, how much this might help in developing the knowledge-base of the Middle East.

[5/14]Fifteen Minutes to Higher Grades

Adult students return to college with well defined goals, significant life experience, and maturity. In those areas they are generally ahead of their younger counterparts.

However, many adult students must overcome some challenges their younger counterparts never face.

Ask any adult student and he or she will tell you that it can be difficult to balance the demands of family, career, and education. Even online degree programs, which enable students to work anywhere they wish and set their own work schedules, require timely completion of assignments. And, students who find themselves continually behind are seldom successful.

The ability to manage time efficiently and the self-discipline to work as hard as necessary are essential to the success of students of all ages. They are especially essential to adult students who must balance the demands of family, career, and the pursuit of a degree.

Even people who manage their time well and are high-achievers may be unaware of a simple but highly effective tactic which can lead to higher grades.

Unfortunately, there is no way to add days or hours to your week, but you can find extra hours, without much trouble, to work on your studies. All you have to do is think about fifteen minute "dead" periods during your week. If you can identify two fifteen minute periods a day during which you can study, you will have added three and a half hours a week to your study time.

What can you accomplish in fifteen minutes? You can read and/or revise a few pages of notes, reread a passage that is important or difficult, put together a study schedule for the week, begin or continue an outline for a paper, email a member of your study group, email a question to one of your professors, or do some research online.

Fifteen minutes can be a significant amount of time; enough time to get something accomplished. And, for most people, it is not too difficult to find at least two fifteen minute blocks of time daily. How about getting up just fifteen minutes earlier every day and spending that time doing schoolwork? What about spending fifteen minutes at your office before going home at the end of your workday? Perhaps you could read while eating breakfast or lunch.

A perennial Dean's List student I know, who is in the Honor's Program at a major university, sits down to between fifteen and thirty minutes of study whenever she returns to her apartment. No matter where she has been or for how long, she never makes an exception. And, nobody remembers the last time (if ever) she earned a final grade below an "A".

It doesn't matter how busy someone is, they can find two additional fifteen minute blocks of time to devote to their pursuit of higher education. And, that half hour a day can make anyone a far more successful student.

[5/13]Safer sex and its impact over one’s life

Safer sex deals with a significant risk reduction against serious sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Virtually safer sex doesn’t deal with the complete risk elimination for every possible condition. For instance virii for cold sores and warts can be easily transmitted by unbarred contact with any infected area.

Safer sex during the intercourse

The most popular and effective thing you may use during the intercourse is the latex condom. Not all condoms are made alike. And namely this is the reason why men should try different condoms until they will find the type of condom they enjoy the most. Lots of men prefer Kimono Microthins, as these condoms are of a high-quality and taste fine for fellatio.
When the man puts on a condom, he should pinch its tip as he unrolls it. Thus air bubbles do not form in the reservoir tip. Men are highly recommended to use water-based lubricants in order to keep the condom from tearing during sex. Certain men like to put a drop or two of this lube inside the tip of the condom. It provides comfort, pleasure and incredible sensations.

If a condom fails during the intercourse (vaginal or anal), the receptive partner have not to douche. If any Nonoxynol-9 contraceptive foam is on hand, she/he should insert it inside the vagina or anus and leave it in for 15 minutes. It will help to immediately remove the condom from the opening.

Besides these recommendations it should be obviously required to follow some bold safety rules when it comes to condoms during the intercourse:

Use a new condom for each new partner!
Don’t reuse condoms!
Put on a new condom if you want to switch from anal sex to vaginal one. Otherwise you may be contaminated with different infections.

Safer sex during oral sex

If speaking about oral sex, people have different opinions regarding its safer-sex barriers. Everybody knows that herpes can be easily transmitted from mouth to genitals and vice-versa during the unprotected oral sex. Also the likelihood to pick up a bacterial infection of the mouth or throat increases if going down on someone who suffers from a bacterial STD, such as Gonorrhea, Syphilis or Chlamydia.
Researchers found out that the risk of transmitting HIV is much lower when it comes to unprotected oral sex than for vaginal or anal sex. To their minds the risk of contamination is lower for those individuals on whom oral sex is performed. Those who perform oral sex on their partners are more likely to be contaminated with an infection. The risks of transmission could be lower if individuals’ lips, throat, mouth are healthy; if women do not let their partners come into mouth and if men do not perform cunnilingus on a woman during menstruation.

Certain sex educators advise individuals not brushing their teeth for an hour before performing unprotected oral sex. Partners should be attentive to notice any sign of a contagious STD before oral sex.

Some men like to come into their partners’ mouth. Many women do not prefer this unprotected fellatio, as it can lead to undesirable consequences.
Pre-cum can also contain HIV and this is the reason why sex educators recommend women to abstain from taking the head of partner’s penis in the mouth. Also women are recommended to use barriers for oral sex.

These are some recommendations regarding safer sex during the intercourses and oral sex. Individuals should resort to them as safe sex has a great impact over an individual’s life. Safety is tightly related to a man’s health and daily life. Safe sex carries the responsibility of a one’s inner feelings, harmony, love, pleasure and his/her physical state as well. It affects the whole organism of an individual and influences considerably his/her future. This is the reason why people should pay attention to safer sex and lead a healthy sexual life.
