how do you think women divorce

how do you think women divorce
how do you think women divorce
- I'm talking about any women not just a divorceee.
There does seem to be a lot of changes in the recent past- I do know of a friend who didn't want to marry and her parents supported her and she is doing very well - she is well educated, in a hi-fly job. Imagine the same girl without support from parents then her life would be a little difficult. whether educated or not so educated, the minute the society knows a woman is alone, her life is always under speculation.
Also, as a human, we are social animals and we can't live alone - we do need someone to share ourselves with. one has to be toooooooooooooooooo content not to expect or share herself. If one is good within with good thoughts and deeds I'm sure she'll find someone worth to share her life with. divorce isn't the end of the world but it's indeed a new beginning for many

- I guess divorce after kids is something ladies can cope up with .....Just imaginge divorce even before having kids ..
One of my friend got married and had lot of issues with her hubby within few months of her marriage ...now she is living alone and also she doesnt have any sibling ...only father ...who also lives in a town.
We are all worried of her plight after her father ....and she is strong in her decision of not getting married again....she has lost her trust in the marriage relationship...
I dont know how many other women are like her ....

As a heaven of food, Beijing has so many kinds of snacks which have attracted a lot of people from home and abroad. The most popular food are the following.
 
Clay Oven Roll (Shaobing)
Shaobing or Huoshao are baked layered flatbread with sesame on top. They are usually made in two flavors: savoury or sweet. According to Mandarin cuisine, Shaobing are served with hot pot in winter.
 
Fried Bread Stick (Youtiao)
Youtiao sometimes called fried bread stick, is a long, golden-brown, deep fried strip of dough in Chinese cuisine and is usually eaten for breakfast. It is also known as (Guozi) in northern China. It is also a popular breakfast food in Myanmar (Burma), where it is called e kya kway.
 
Steamed Bun (Mantou)
Mantou sometimes known as Chinese steamed bun, is a kind of steamed bun originating from China. It is typically served in Chinese cuisine. Made with milled wheat flour, water and leavening agents, they are similar in nutrition and eating qualities to the white bread of the West.
 
Soybean milk
Soybean milk is a healthy alternative to cow's milk. Soybeans are composed of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, and a powerful array of phytonutrients, and have been known to help reduce blood cholesterol, thereby promoting cardiovascular wellness.
 
Eight Treasures Rice (Ba Bao Fan)
Ba Bao Fan is a traditional Chinese dessert with more than a thousand years of history. This dessert is made in all regions of China with their own local ingredients and recipes; however, all recipes are based upon the ingredients of sticky rice and eight different dried fruits. The most famous Ba Bao Fan recipe is from “Jiang Nan”, a southern area of China.
 
Boiled Dumpling
Jiaozi are believed to bring fortune and good luck to their eaters, perhaps because of their appearance as shoe-shaped gold or silver ingots. There is no doubt that Jiaozi will appear on most tables during any given Spring Festival. Generally, people prepare them before midnight on the last day of the previous year, before eating them after the New Year's bell is sounded
 
New-year’s Hard Rice Cake
This staple food is made of glutinous rice flour and comes in thumb sized nuggets. Its popularity during Spring Festival has come about since it has a homonym, which translates as "getting higher and higher year after year." This preserved food is therefore a must-eat in many parts of China, especially its southern provinces.
 
Full-moon Dumpling (Yuanxiao)
Yuanxiao is a special dumpling in China for the Lantern Festival (the 15th night of the 1st lunar month). It is a "ball" made of glutinous rice flour. As the 15th night of the New Year was later called "Shangyuan" and the "Yuanxiao" festival, so the dumplings came to be known by the name of the festival

the best food of Vietnam

the best food of Vietnam

My favorite memory of Vietnam: Pho. It was offered at breakfast at every hotel I stayed at in Hanoi, Hoi An, Da Nang, Hue and Saigon, so I enjoyed it every morning. Because I’m not a bacon, eggs or cereal type, it hit the spot.

The further south I went, the stronger the flavor got, even though the basic ingredients — noodles, bean sprouts, herbs and beef or chicken — were pretty much the same. It was the broth that got richer. I’m looking to duplicate what I found here in the Bay Area, so if you have suggestions, please let me know. The best I’ve found so far is at My Father’s Kitchen on Divisidero.
While lots of interesting foods can be found on the streets and in restaurants, here are my favorite dishes, beginning with the fish curry at Cha Ca La Vong in Hanoi (above). The restaurant has been in business more than 110 years. I went there 10 years ago when I was in Vietnam and it hasn’t changed a bit, although the city has considerably. You still walk up the impossibly steep, rickety stairs to get to the dining room. There’s only one dish offered, and that’s the whitefish,
 yellow from turmeric that’s sauteed tableside with scallions and dill tops, and served with a pile of cold rice noodles, peanuts, chiles, herbs, shrimp paste and fish sauce. There are many copycats in Hanoi — one day I tried the version at Cha Ca Thang Long, which was filled with locals, but I found the original was still the best.

In Hue, the fixed price menu at Y Thao Garden includes many elaborate presentations such as tiny crisp spring rolls stuck into pineapples and whole shrimp hanging artistically off the edge of a stemmed glass. Pate is wrapped in tofu skin and studded with green beans and other vegetables.

When it came to Bahn mi, I found Bahn Mi Phuong, a little cart set up opposite the market in Hoi An. The sandwich included gooey pate, fatty pork belly, herbs and what looked like an onion-studded sauce, all stuffed into a baguette with a crisp exterior and a tender interior. It cost the equivalent of about $1.
In Saigon, my friend Bobby Chinn took me to one of his favorite restaurants, Hoang Yen, where I had excellent sweet and sour seafood soup, claypot pork and chives with clams, but my favorite was the shrimp with pumpkin blossoms. The shrimp were fresh and sweet, but the pumpkin blossoms made the dish. They had the texture of wilted spinach and a flavor reminscent of okra, without the slime.

I could go on and list 10 more, but I’m adhering to advice from a good friend, who says five pictures of any vacation are more than enough. However, I will cheat a bit: Tomorrow I’ll share a few of my favorite food scene photos from the streets, rivers and markets of Vietnam.

Junk food delicious Are there Really Any Junk Food

Junk food delicious Are there Really Any Junk Food ‘Value Meals’

If you want to eat a delicious organic Fuji apply you might have to spend around 75 cents. However, commonly value meals are provided at the cost of merely 99-cents. The cost of the food itself might be only 24-cent if general expenses are considered. If a big delicious Fuji apple cost 75 cent how is it possible to provide a whole meal at the cost of only $99 cents.
How is it possible to sell a meal for less than a dollar knowing that providing the meal carries various expenses like; ingredient, table & chairs, wages for cooks and servers, refrigeration equipment, restaurant rent, advertising and utility bills?


The real question is, how is it possible to sell wholesome food at 99 cents while equally generating a profit?
In America nearly 70 percent of the population is overweight. Other developed countries are also slowly adjusting to the trend. There are hundreds of junk food dealers like Pizza Hut, Mars, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola and Kraft, which are selling foods to attract customers. Humans are genetically programmed to consume delicious food and junk food has captured this unique feature of having a nice flavouring taste.
Humans are genetically programmed to store fat. In the past, our predecessors lived under periods where they were exposed to famine. Those people who had the best ability to store fat were those who survived. This is why our genes have this inherited ability to save food when there is a surplus of food available. This is why junk food is a problem to society. It is cheap and available in quantities. Moreover, carbohydrates of junk food are easily changed and stored as fat. This is why an increasing number of people are obese and children are now suffering from Type II Diabetes.
In other words, those commercial deals entitled value meal are causing damage to our body. They are also triggering premature death, not directly from the food but from pathologies that develop with time after consuming junk food.
Additionally, food dealers have found that people are effortlessly addicted to sugars as well as simple carbohydrates. So marketers find simple but tasty food solutions for customer. They are not necessarily healthy but rather tasty. This is why there is an increasing volume of junk food on the market.
In fact, the “value Meal’s” that is being sold by various food dealers do, in reality, poison our body. Companies claim that they are providing great affordable products; however, what’s really in the food is another question

Apartment price drop in Dubai slows

Apartment price drop in Dubai slows

Last Updated: Dec 23, 2010

Apartment prices in Dubai continue to drop, a new report says.
From October to last month, sale prices for apartments of more than 100 square meters slid about 2.3 per cent, according to data tracked by REIDIN.com.
Apartments from 101 sq metres to 150 sq metres were selling for 6.3 per cent less than in November last year, while apartments larger than 151 sq metres were priced 7.9 per cent lower, the research firm said.
Prices for apartments of less than 50 sq metres were down 17.5 per cent from a year earlier but declined only 0.10 per cent from October to last month, according to REIDIN, which uses transaction data from the Real Estate Regulatory Agency. Prices for apartments of 51 sq metres to 100 sq metres increased 0.11 per cent.
"Prices are more or less settled," said Ahmet Kayhan, the chief executive of REIDIN.com.
Apartment prices overall dropped 7 per cent from the second quarter to the third quarter, according to data from the property brokerage Colliers International, one of several companies tracking apartment prices in Dubai.
"When you look at apartments, you need to look at areas and quality of the stock," said Catherine Clarke, the director of residential valuations for Colliers International's UAE office.
"In areas where the banks are lending, there seems to be a certain amount of stabilisation."
Jonathan Fothergill, the director of UAE valuations for Cluttons Middle East, said that while prices were continuing to decline, the slippage was "at a much slower rate
