salt in a bowl. Add the chicken, spoon the mixture over it
and leave to marinate atroom
temperature for 4 -5 hours.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the stuffing. Put the rice in a
sieve and wash under a running cold tap until the water runs
clear. Drain and put in a heavy sauce pan. Level the rice
with a spatula and add just enough water to cover the riceby about 2.5cm. Cover with a tight fitting lid,
reduce the heat and cook for about 15-20 minutes
until the rice is tender and all the moisture has completelyevaporated. 3. Mix the cooked rice, eggs peas,
onion, ginger, almonds and coriander leaves together. Remove
the chicken from the marinade. Reserve the marinade for
lateruse. Stuff the chicken with
the rice mixture. Truss the chicken and keep aside. 4. Now prepare the sauce or masala.
In a blender or food processor blend thechopped onion, ginger and garlic to a paste. 5. Heat the ghee, add the ground
onion mixture, and stirring frequently, fry for 5 -10
minutes to a rich golden color.
Add the next 5 ingredients and stirring frequently to
prevent the mixture form sticking to the bottom, fry to a
rich golden color. At this stage ghee should start to
separate from the mixture. 6.Add the salt, ground coriander,
chilli powder, turmeric and the poppy seeds.Stirring continuously, fry until the ghee separates
again. Add the blanched almonds and green raisins. 7. Combine the plain yogurt with
the reserved yogurt marinade and stirring continuously, adda little at a time to onion and spice mixture (Slow
addition will prevent the yogurt from curdling). Once all
the yogurt has been added, keep on stirring for another few
minutes until the ghee separates once again. Remove from
the heat and keep aside. 8. Put the stuffed chicken in a

heated serving dish, pour the sauce over it and serve at
once. Sprinkle with coriander.

Cut down on meat to lose weight
Eating less meat may be the key to keeping a healthy weight,
say researchers.
A European study of almost 400,000 adults found that
eating meat was linked with weight gain, even in people
taking in the same number of calories.
The strongest association was found with processed meat,
such as sausages and ham, the Imperial College London team
reported.
It suggests that high-protein diets may not help slimmers in
the long run.
The findings, published in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, also support public health messages advocating
cutting down on the amount of meat we eat, the researchers
said.
The study looked at data from adults taking part in a large
project looking at the link between diet and cancer.
Participants from 10 European countries, including the UK,
were weighed and measured at the start and then asked to
report their weight five years later.
They also filled in a detailed food questionnaire.
Weight gain
Overall, the researchers found that meat consumption was
associated with weight gain in both men and women.
More detailed analyses showed that the link was still
significant after taking into account overall calorie
intake, physical activity and other factors which may have
skewed the results.
The team calculated that in people who ate the same number
of calories, an extra 250g of meat a day - equal to a small
steak - led to an additional weight gain of 2kg (5lbs) over
five years.

A portion of meat should be about the size of a deck of
cards”
Sian PorterDietician
It counters the theory that diets with high amounts of
protein and low amounts of carbohydrate promote weight loss.
Although it is not clear why meat would lead to weight gain
in people eating the same number of calories, one theory is
that energy-dense foods like meat alter how the body
regulates appetite control.
But there could also be another lifestyle or dietary
explanation for the link that was not accounted for by the
study.
Study leader Dr Anne-Claire Vergnaud said: "I would
recommend to people to control their consumption of meat to
maintain a healthy weight and good health in general during
life."
But she added: "Decreasing the amount of meat alone would
not be an adequate weight loss strategy."
Sian Porter, a dietician and spokeswoman for the British
Dietetic Association, said there were caveats in the study,
including the fact that at the end-weight was self-reported.
But she said it was an interesting finding.
"We eat more meat than we need.
"What I say to my patients is to think about variety - so
have an egg for breakfast instead of bacon, cheese for lunch
instead of ham and fish for the evening meal.
She advised people to eat lots of lentils and pulse,
wholegrains, fruit and veg and oily fish as well as meat.
"Portion size is the other thing - a portion of meat should
be about the size of a deck of cards."

When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run
while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the
other with rinse water.
#3
Some refrigerators, air conditioners and ice-makers are
cooled with wasted flows of water. Consider upgrading
with air-cooled appliances for significant water
savings.
#4
Adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not
the house, sidewalk, or street.
#5
Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they
are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
#6
Choose shrubs and groundcovers instead of turf for
hard-to-water areas such as steep slopes and isolated
strips.
#7
Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks
around your pumps.
#8
Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost vegetable
food waste instead and save gallons every time.
#9
Plant in the fall when conditions are cooler and
rainfall is more plentiful.
For cold drinks keep a pitcher of water in the
refrigerator instead of running the tap. This way, every
drop goes down you and not the drain.
#11
Monitor your water bill for unusually high use. Your
bill and water meter are tools that can help you
discover leaks.
#12
Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening
when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.
#13
Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water
instead of running water from the tap.
#14
Spreading a layer of organic mulch around plants retains
moisture and saves water, time and money.
#15
Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and
sidewalk and save water every time.
#16
If your shower fills a one-gallon bucket in less than 20
seconds, replace the showerhead with a water-efficient
model.
#17
Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and
vegetables, then reuse it to water houseplants.
#18
If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering
time into shorter periods to allow for better
absorption.
#19
We're more likely to notice leaks indoors, but don't
forget to check outdoor faucets, sprinklers and hoses
for leaks.
#20
If you have an automatic refilling device, check your
pool periodically for leaks.
#21
Check the root zone of your lawn or garden for moisture
before watering using a spade or trowel. If it's still
moist two inches under the soil surface, you still have
enough water.
#22
When buying new appliances, consider those that offer
cycle and load size adjustments. They're more water and
energy efficient.
#23
Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you'll save
up to 150 gallons per month.
#24
Upgrade older toilets with water efficient models.
#25
Adjust your lawn mower to a higher setting. A taller
lawn shades roots and holds soil moisture better than if
it is closely clipped.
#26
When cleaning out fish tanks, give the nutrient-rich
water to your plants.
#27
Use sprinklers for large areas of grass. Water small
patches by hand to avoid waste.
Put food coloring in your toilet tank. If it seeps into
the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak.
Fixing it can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.
#29
When running a bath, plug the tub before turning the
water on, then adjust the temperature as the tub fills
up.
#30
Walkways and patios provide space that doesn't ever need
to be watered. These useful "rooms" can also add value
to your property.
Every day I bring to life
Written by: Aymen Zaheer
Information Technology & Computing Student
Every day I bring to life and think;
O’ Soul set foot in, why you are astonishing
God added further fresh day,
Of strive for my own entity.
Suddenly, silence surrounds all around;
Wind whispers in my ear,
Asking to ride on,
Over land and touch the sky.
I felt in,
The beauty of the existing world,
Smiling and singing a rhythm of happiness.
One more sea breath blows by way of my feet;
Sunrise spread on the skyline,
Touches my curly hair as I Stand,
To catch colors in my hand together.
Birds flying and nosing all over,
In searching of food and feeding their child’s;
Is it wondering to see the artistry shade on the universe?
I am ready to undertake,
All in all, it calms my body and soul,
Conceding me take pleasure in this entire day.
I admire that,
Life is not what we enrolled,
It has completely changed on next daylight;
Even so, we have plenty of things,
To grasp from each day,
Be blessed, blissful and joyous moment of life.

Divide
and Conquer
Assalam-O-Alaikum!
Friends, hope you all are hale and hearty, and gearing up
for the upcoming holy month.
Looking at the topic, you might have thought it is going to
be on the British philosophy that they used to rule Indo-Pak
subcontinent. But no friends, this is not about it. This
issue, is going to be interestingly technical. Oh don’t
worry. Not the boring technical details but we will see how
interestingly these techniques are applicable in our lives
too. During our training for software development, we were
taught the breakdown approach in which we learnt how to
break the bigger problem into smaller parts. Then resolve
each to eventually reach to a solution for the bigger issue.
Same stands true for the matters in life. On a glance, the
issues that arise in life appear monstrously huge and
frightening, as if no solution exist. But when analyzed with
a cool mind, they often can be broken down to solvable
portions.
One of the types of algorithm is known as divide and conquer
algorithm. It repeatedly reduces an instance of a problem to
smaller instances of the same problem until the cases are
small enough to solve easily. Same ways, when confronted
with an issue, break it into sub-problems. Concentrate on
one at a time and eventually by solving each you will have
the bigger issue resolved.
Generally thought, problems are considered as obstacles to a
goal. However, there can be another approach to it. Think
differently and consider problem as a challenge. And turn
this challenge into an opportunity. If you pick up few of
the successful people around you, you will realize how many
problems they had to face. But each problem helped them
evolve into a more capable person.
Remember only those bunch of people do not have problems who
are resting in peace at graveyards!
Think… ‘Divide and conquer’ your problems.
Till next time,
Wa-alikum-us- salam
