Realization of the Mosque Building Ideas 'Ground Zero' increasingly Organized

NEW YORK - It was, a year passed controversial development at the former Islamic Center building twin towers, WTC, New York. Sarcasm and invective is no longer heard aloud. However, the effort to realize the mosque construction project continued even starting to organize.
As reported by the New York Times, Tuesday (2 / 8), the committee developing the Islamic Center of New York project slowly but steadily in recent months has been finalizing the team will be responsible for the realization of the idea. Mentioned, pantia project developer has appointed a staff to raise funds and hold regular themed events and Islamic culture that took place near Ground Zero.

Although intensive, the New York Times wrote what the committee sought pemgembang projects tend to slow down. However, it is unclear whether the delay was intentional or what it is. New York Times Analysts said it is not easy to determine what type of facilities required Muslims and non-Muslim visitors. Not to mention the matter of funding and public support in the building.

While analysts predict, the realization of the construction took five years. Therefore, the plan will change the total pole building construction Burlington Coat Factory stores. According to them, with the position of the old building such a strategic, you can bet the value of land to be purchased will be looming.

According to observers, the organizers of the Islamic Center project developers need at least $ 100 million fund. With such a large fund, automatically building mosques intangible ordinary mosque but the "mega mosque". When the U.S. got the impression the luxury of building a mosque be built, the reaction was so incredible.

Relatives of victims of 9 / 11, is the most sensitive about that development. Not to mention, conservative view of U.S. society, which in turn is represented by Pastor Terry Jones with the idea of ​​"Day of Burning Qur'an". Condition becoming worse, when the attacks are so powerful publication through the Internet.

Those who brought the idea of ​​not giving up. They knew I'd pressed the various parties. The condition is precisely increasingly strengthened the belief in the perceived benefits of U.S. society where the idea of ​​building the mosque really teralisasi. Furthermore, by them, it will be named Masjid Mosque Victory or Cordova House.

Sharif El-Gamal, chairman of the Project Development Committee, a figure that is so hard working. His efforts led him to fight with Imam Faisal Abdul Rauf. He then decided to part with the priest who sparked the idea of ​​an Islamic Center in New York.

He also traveled the U.S. to withdraw funds, relations with the U.S. Muslim community and Muslim organizations throughout the country and recruit families of the victims of September 11 2001 as adviser. "Everything went backwards," said El-Gamal, 37, said in an interview session. "We'll come back from the beginning."

Not Changed

El-Gamal said the idea of ​​the Islamic Center will not change, similar to the idea of ​​the Jewish Community Center. According to him, by providing facilities for various religions, would be in line with U.S. efforts to attract a multicultural society to come and find out about Islam. "Obviously we will make a special Muslim place of worship in the form of a large mosque," he said.

He said the final form, by Gamal version called Park51, depending on the citizens of New York. If New Yorkers want three or four floors will be built in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of New York. For that, repeatedly, Gamal, an exhibition of art and culture involving Muslims and citizens of New York. "If people only want four or five floors, it will be four or five floors," said Mr. El-Gamal.

However, he said, there is one thing that should be no question of U.S. citizens, primarily New York, which is about the construction of the mosque. According to him, legally, the construction of places of worship do not require zoning approval, despite the need to get volunteer support from local residents.

Moreover, the Mayor of New York has been blessed. However, El-Gamal realize there are still groups in U.S. society that does not require the construction of mosques.

Pamela Geller, a blogger is one of those who shout loudly about the plan. The same is also done other bloggers such as Robert Spencer. Both agreed, the construction of the mosque is tantamount to giving opportunity to the U.S. Muslim community to change the face of the U.S..

Fruit of the attacks carried out two publications which delivers Behring Anders Breivik, to kill some people in Norway on July 22 because of concerns about the takeover of Norway by Muslims. "What do you feel when in the midst of society, but you were the creator of anxiety and sadness to the people around you, obviously it is not something we expected," said El-Gamal.

Katerina Lucas, head of the committee staff said the Islamic Center project developer any development, the development must be done in an honorable way.

The story of Job Interview at Google Singapore and Australia

One of the internet giant from the United States (U.S.), Google, plans to open offices in Indonesia. Though doomed to fail because of regulatory issues stumble, it did not dampen Google's move to expand its market in the country.
In contrast with its headquarters in the U.S., Google's office in Indonesia is more focused on the importance of marketing, saw most of Google's advertising revenue came from small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which is mushrooming in the country. Although 'only' marketing office, it still makes the opportunities for citizens in Indonesia to start working class company Google.

As foreign companies in general, Google in merekut candidates certainly not arbitrary. Need special qualifications with strict admission. Especially considering the number of jobs needed is not directly proportional to prospective workers.

Andryo is one of the young people of Indonesia who try their luck to get into Google. Although applying for the regional South East Asia, it took a long interview stage and sometimes unique. Listen to interviews with male graduates Legal Kingston University, UK, majoring in the MA in Digital Media.

From which Mas Andryo find a job at Google is? You are applying for what position?

From Google's job site. The position of Digital Media Consultant for Indonesia market but based in Singapore. Actually, I previously worked and lived in Australia, precisely in Sydney, in one of the world's largest advertising company. I work as a Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Account Manager.

Not clear why that night I casually open the job site on Google, and see vacancies in the Google Singapore, to the position of Digital Media Consultant. I immediately wrote the cover letter, and send my CV.

So far, I have to apply job at Google as much as 4 times and never get a good response. 2 times I applied for Google UK in London, 1 time for YouTube UK team in London, and a time for Google's Asia Pacific in Singapore.

Can tell the stages through which you try their luck in a Google employee?

*) The first interview
After sending my CV, a month later I received an email from Google recruiter Singapore. Recruiter is a Frenchman, he is very friendly. He asked a few things in his email, which include:

1. Are you currently in employment?
2. What is your notice period / availability to start?
3. What are your salary expectations (very approximate range)?
4. What were the resource persons your overall grades in your degrees, respectively?
5. What Were the Reasons for leaving your three most recent roles on your CV?
6. Your top achievement in your career to date - can you please send a bullet on that?
7. Would you require Google to sponsor a visa on your behalf?
8. Why are you interested by this position?

I had asked about the recruitment process, how long the process, and is there any on-site interviews where I have to go to the Google Singapore office? He said generally the process will take one month more, because roughly to my position will be held 4 to 5 interviews. And two interviews to be done on-site, where I had come to Google Australia in Sydney to do video conferencing with Google Singapore. Too expensive to buy a ticket Sydney-Singapore round trip for two interviews. After that, the hiring committee in America that Google will eventually give approval. The process is very complicated, I think.

*) The second interview
For this second stage, the Google recruiter conducting interviews via telephon connection.

This interview was conducted with one Account Manager in South-East Asian market, again a French origin. I take the time to open a Linkedin profile and his Twitter. He has worked at Google for 4 years, 1 year in Europe, 3 years in Singapore. He was a very friendly, and highly structured from the way he spoke.

He asked quite a lot of things. Beginning with general questions such as career goals, work experience in London and Sydney, the constraints now facing, accomplishments I've achieved at work, school, and extra curricular activities. Then about the Internet in Indonesia, and the strategies that I will take to promote Google. Some technical questions about Adwords and Analytics also asked. In general, he said, satisfied with my answers.

*) The third interview
This interview was conducted in two languages, English and Indonesian. Frankly I was a little scared too, because my last job interview in the Indonesian language, or speaking in the Indonesian language for formal affairs, was about 4 years ago.

He asks a lot of things about strategy and marketing, a question that does not have the right answer. All depends on creativity and knowledge. For technical matters, I have learned in-depth about the market in Indonesia, any competitor of Google, also about Adwords, PPC, Display, Adsense, Doubleclick, Quality Score, and remarketing.

The next day, the French recruiter phoned me again. He said my interview went very well, the team leader that I liked and felt satisfied with my knowledge of online marketing going. Directly he asked me to leave as soon as possible to come to Australia in the Sydney office of Google, and conduct two on-site interviews at the same time, via video conference with Google's Asia Pacific in Singapore.

He sent an email to prepare me for a second interview. He said, pe-first interview is not a member of the same team. He of the regional team. This person will ask questions that are more "abstract" again.

*) Interview fourth & fifth
I have a few days studying like crazy. The body feels tired, sore eyes and shaggy, sleepy total. Which makes it difficult is I do all this while working. My work was really busy-busy. I manage the four client accounts with offices spread across Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland (New Zealand).

That day I leave. I purposely woke up late in the morning, big breakfast, read a little-read. I came quickly to the city, sushi lunch, then to the Pyrmont area (location Google Australia) to find a cafe near the Google offices. I learned again for 1-2 hours in there.

I came a bit too fast and had a little chat with the receptionist and the HR. I sign in and sign an NDA agreement / Non-Disclosure Agreement not to divulge any information, on a touch screen.

After the interview began. Pe-first interview from Australia (judging from his accent), and pe-second interview was Irish. Quite hard questions asked.

Most of the question is not about the things that can be learned, but rather wanted to see how creative I am. Luckily I came armed with a lot of preparation. I think I answered pretty well.


To be continued .....

Mystery Ka'bah stir NASA

Neil Armstrong has proven that Mecca is the center of the planet Earth. This fact has been examined through a scientific study.



When Neil Armstrong for the first time to travel into space and take pictures of the planet Earth, he said, "Planet Earth was hanging in a very dark area, who hung it?."



The astronauts have discovered that the planet Earth is a kind of radiation release, they announce it officially on the Internet, but unfortunately it 21 days later the website is that there seems to be missing a hidden reason behind the removal of the website.



After doing more research, it turns out the radiation is centered in the city of Mecca, precisely derived from the Kaaba. What is surprising is that radiation is infinite (endless), this is proven when they take pictures of Mars, the radiation is still continued. Muslim Researchers believe that this radiation has the characteristics and linking between the Kaaba on the planet Earth with the Kaaba in the afterlife.


In the middle between the north pole and south pole, there is an area called 'Zero Magnetism Area', the meaning is when we issue a compass in the area, then the compass needle will not move at all because of an equally large attraction between the two poles .


That's why if someone lived in Mecca, then he will live longer, healthier, and not much influenced by many forces of gravity. Therefore it was when we round the Kaaba, it seemed to us in re-charged by a mysterious energy and this is a fact that has been scientifically proven.


Another study revealed that the Black Stone is a stone's oldest stone in the world and can also float in water. In a museum in England, there are three pieces of stone (from the Ka'ba) and the museum also said that the boulder-stones are not from our solar system.

In one of his saying, the Prophet SAW said:

"Black Stone was sent down from heaven, the color is whiter than milk, and the sins of the children and grandchildren that make Adamlah black"

Volga-Ural, touch tip of Islam in the Russian Regions

Volga-Ural -
Located in the Russian federation, the Volga-Ural is the region furthest from the touch of coverage of Islam in the past. This area is quite historic because it covers the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, Republic of Bashkortostan, Chuvashia Republic, the Republic of Mari El, Udmurtia Republic, the Republic of Moldavia, and other areas located in the Volga and Ural.
As quoted from Arabnews, Monday (01/08/2011), Volga-Ural region is geographically located in the vicinity of the Ural Mountains, between East European and West Siberian plains. It extends roughly from north to south, from the Arctic Ocean to the Ural River bend near the city of Orsk. Boundary between Europe and Asia are along the east side of the Ural Mountains.

A number of important city of culture and Islamic education such as Kazan, Astrakhan, Ufa, Orenburg and Trotsky in the region. A special feature of this area is the historical experience of multicultural societies in the extension of various religions and ethnic origins.

Bolgar town is a historic place where Islam became the state religion in 922. This is the first place where Islam is received in the region. His site is being excavated and restored, including an ancient mosque that was destroyed during the Soviet era. A museum is also being built to house the newly discovered artifacts Islam and other Islamic manuscripts.

Bolgar is one of the main centers of Islamic civilization in the Volga-Ural region in the past. Local residents also consider the place as holy ground. Tatarstan government wants to restore the glory of the ancient city had neglected and abandoned for the new city of Kazan. Reconstruction work, which is being implemented around the ancient city of Bolgar, estimated completion in 2012.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, Muslims can now enjoy a period of prosperity. Efforts to revitalize the Islamic culture in his country, the government of Saudi Arabia in 2007 gave a gift. Since local governments began to rebuild the mosque that had been destroyed, the number of mosques increased from 32 in the period up to 1,200 mosques Perestroika.

While in the Tatar region, Islam started to go into this area in the 10th century with no violence. The local government has decided to mark May 21 as a special day to celebrate Islam in the region.

The next town is Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. According to some manuscripts, preachers

Muslims came to town in the early days of Islam, making Ufa became the northernmost town in which the spread of Islam managed to achieve it.

There is a revival of Islamic values ​​and traditions of Bashkortostan in particular and

Russian Federation in general, especially among young people. The condition of Muslims today in terms of religious practice has increased significantly in recent years. Alhamdulillah.

Tea Party movement

The Tea Party movement (TPM) is an American populist political movement that is generally recognized as conservative and libertarian, and has sponsored protests and supported political candidates since 2009. It endorses reduced government spending, opposition to taxation in varying degrees, reduction of the national debt and federal budget deficit, and adherence to an originalist interpretation of the United States Constitution.
The name "Tea Party" is a reference to the Boston Tea Party, a protest by colonists who objected to a British tax on tea in 1773 and demonstrated by dumping British tea taken from docked ships into the harbor. Some commentators have referred to the Tea in "Tea Party" as the backronym "Taxed Enough Already".

The Tea Party movement has caucuses in the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States. The Tea Party movement has no central leadership but is composed of a loose affiliation of national and local groups that determine their own platforms and agendas. The Tea Party movement has been cited as an example of grassroots political activity, although it has also been cited as an example of astroturfing.

The Tea Party's most noted national figures include Republican politicians such as Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Dick Armey, and Ron Paul, with Paul described as the "intellectual grandfather" of the movement. Though the Tea Party movement is not, as of 2011, a national political party, polls show that most Tea Partiers consider themselves to be Republicans and it has tended to endorse Republican candidates. Commentators including Gallup editor-in-chief Frank Newport have suggested that the movement is not a new political group but simply a rebranding of traditional Republican candidates and policies. An October 2010 Washington Post canvass of local Tea Party organizers found 87% saying "dissatisfaction with mainstream Republican Party leaders" was "an important factor in the support the group has received so far".

Amid New Talks, Some Optimism on Debt Crisis

WASHINGTON — New budget talks between top Congressional Republicans and President Obama made progress late Saturday, suddenly stirring optimism that a last-minute deal could be reached to avert a potential federal default that threatened significant economic and political consequences.
After a tense day of Congressional floor fights and angry exchanges, Senator Harry Reid, the majority leader, called off a planned showdown vote set for after midnight, but said he would convene the Senate at noon on Sunday for a vote an hour later. He said he wanted to give the new negotiations a chance to produce a plan to raise the federal debt limit in exchange for spending cuts and the creation of a new Congressional committee that would try to assemble a long-range deficit-cutting proposal.

“There are many elements to be finalized and there is still a distance to go before an arrangement can be completed,” said Mr. Reid, who just a few hours earlier had played down talk of any agreement. “But I believe we should give everyone as much room as possible to do their work.”

Mr. Reid’s announcement set off an almost audible sigh of relief on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers and their aides had been bracing for an overnight clash over the debt following a day that had seen a heated House vote and lawmakers trudging from office to office in search of an answer to the impasse.

The first indication of a softening of the hard lines that have marked weeks of partisan wrangling over the debt limit came in the afternoon when the two leading Congressional Republicans announced that they had reopened fiscal talks with the White House and expected their last-ditch drive to produce a compromise.

Following the House’s sharp rejection of a proposal by Mr. Reid to raise the debt limit and cut spending, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader and a linchpin in efforts to reach a deal, said he and Speaker John A. Boehner were “now fully engaged” in efforts with the White House to find a resolution that would tie an increase in the debt limit to spending cuts and other conditions.

“I’m confident and optimistic that we’re going to get an agreement in the very near future and resolve this crisis in the best interests of the American people,” said Mr. McConnell, who noted he was personally talking to both Mr. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., a favorite partner in past negotiations.

Mr. Boehner, who would have to steer a compromise through the House, said he based his confidence on the prospect of an agreement on the sense that “we’re dealing with reasonable, responsible people who want this crisis to end as quickly as possible.”

A Democratic official with knowledge of the talks said that Mr. McConnell called Mr. Biden early Saturday afternoon, the first conversation between the two men since Wednesday. The official said they talked at least four more times on Saturday as they tried to work out an agreement.

The deal they were discussing, this person said, resembled the bill that Mr. Boehner won approval for in the House on Friday more than it did the one that Mr. Reid had proposed.

It would immediately raise the debt ceiling by about $1 trillion, accompanied by a similar range of spending cuts, and set up a new bipartisan committee that would work to find deeper cuts in exchange for a second debt limit increase that would extend through the 2012 election.

A failure of the new committee to win enactment of its proposal could then set off automatic spending cuts across the board, including to entitlement programs. Other ideas were swirling around the Capitol as lawmakers searched for a way to avoid default. One of Mr. Reid’s top lieutenants said he saw at least a glimmer of hope.

“We are a long way from any sort of negotiated agreement,” said Senator Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the No. 2 Senate Democrat, “but there is certainly a more positive feeling about reaching an agreement than I’ve felt in a long time.”

The flurry of activity came as anxiety built up in many corners, including among Wall Street investors worried about the effects on the markets and active-duty soldiers worried about their paychecks.

After Mr. McConnell sounded a hopeful note, Mr. Reid called members of the Senate to the floor to hear him dispute the claims by his Republican counterpart and accuse Republicans of failing to enter into serious negotiations even as the Treasury risked running out of money to pay all its bills after Tuesday.

Rightward Tilt Leaves Obama With Party Rift

WASHINGTON — However the debt limit showdown ends, one thing is clear: under pressure from Congressional Republicans, President Obama has moved rightward on budget policy, deepening a rift within his party heading into the next election
Entering a campaign that is shaping up as an epic clash over the parties’ divergent views on the size and role of the federal government, Republicans have changed the terms of the national debate. Mr. Obama, seeking to appeal to the broad swath of independent voters, has adopted the Republicans’ language and in some cases their policies, while signaling a willingness to break with liberals on some issues.

That has some progressive members of Congress and liberal groups arguing that by not fighting for more stimulus spending, Mr. Obama could be left with an economy still producing so few jobs by Election Day that his re-election could be threatened. Besides turning off independents, Mr. Obama risks alienating Democratic voters already disappointed by his escalation of the war in Afghanistan and his failure to close the Guantánamo Bay prison, end the Bush-era tax cuts and enact a government-run health insurance system.

“The activist liberal base will support Obama because they’re terrified of the right wing,” said Robert L. Borosage, co-director of the liberal group Campaign for America’s Future.

But he said, “I believe that the voting base of the Democratic Party — young people, single women, African-Americans, Latinos — are going to be so discouraged by this economy and so dismayed unless the president starts to champion a jobs program and take on the Republican Congress that the ability of labor to turn out its vote, the ability of activists to mobilize that vote, is going to be dramatically reduced.”

While Mr. Obama and Republicans have been unable to agree on a debt reduction plan for spending cuts and revenue increases to cut $4 trillion in the first decade, on Saturday they were negotiating a deal with fewer spending cuts that would ensure the government’s debt ceiling would be increased into 2013 to avoid another deadlock in the heat of campaign season.

No matter how the immediate issue is resolved, Mr. Obama, in his failed effort for greater deficit reduction, has put on the table far more in reductions for future years’ spending, including Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, than he did in new revenue from the wealthy and corporations. He proposed fewer cuts in military spending and more in health care than a bipartisan Senate group that includes one of the chamber’s most conservative Republicans.

To win approval of the essential increase in the nation’s $14.3 trillion borrowing ceiling, Mr. Obama sought more in deficit reduction than Republicans did, and with fewer changes to the entitlement programs, because he was willing to raise additional revenue starting in 2013 and they were not. And despite unemployment lingering at its highest level in decades, Mr. Obama has not fought this year for a big jobs program with billions of dollars for public-works projects, which liberals in his party have clamored for. Instead, he wants to extend a temporary payroll tax cut for everyone, since Republicans will support tax cuts, despite studies showing that spending programs are generally the more effective stimulus.

Even before last November’s election gave the Republicans control of the House, Mr. Obama had said he would pivot to deficit reduction after two years of stimulus measures intended first to rescue the economy and then to spur a recovery from the near collapse of the financial system. With Republicans’ gains in the midterm elections, that pivot became a lurch. Yet Congressional Republicans say Mr. Obama seeks a debt limit increase as “a blank check” to keep spending.

“The Republicans won, and they don’t know how to accept victory,” said Robert D. Reischauer, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office.

In his budget proposal in January, Mr. Obama declined to suggest a plan along the lines proposed by a majority of his bipartisan fiscal commission, which in December recommended $4 trillion in savings over 10 years through cuts in military and domestic programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, and a tax code overhaul to lower rates while also raising more revenue.

Even though Mr. Obama was widely criticized, administration officials said at the time that to have embraced that approach then would have put him too far to the right — where he ultimately wanted to end up in any compromise with Republicans, not where he wanted to start.

But by this month, in ultimately unsuccessful talks with Speaker John A. Boehner, Mr. Obama tentatively agreed to a plan that was farther to the right than that of the majority of the fiscal commission and a bipartisan group of senators, the so-called Gang of Six. It also included a slow rise in the Medicare eligibility age to 67 from 65, and, after 2015, a change in the formula for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments long sought by economists.

“He’s accommodated himself to the new reality in Washington,” said Tom Davis, a former House Republican leader from Virginia. “That’s what leaders do.”

But Congressional Democrats and liberal groups objected.

“The president’s proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare has the potential to sap the energy of the Democratic base — among older voters because of Medicare and Medicaid and younger voters because of the lack of jobs,” said Damon A. Silvers, policy director of the A.F.L.-C.I.O. “And second, all these fiscal austerity proposals on the table will make the economy worse.”

Mr. Obama’s situation has parallels with the mid-1990s, when President Bill Clinton shifted to the center after Republicans took Congress and battled them on deficit reduction and a welfare overhaul. Many Democrats were angered by his concessions, by a sense of being left out of negotiations and by a fear of alienating Democratic voters. Mr. Clinton was re-elected in 1996.

But Mr. Obama is likely to face the voters with a weaker economy and higher unemployment than during Mr. Clinton’s era. Still, his advisers express confidence that voters will reward Mr. Obama either for winning a bipartisan deal, if that were to happen, or for at least having a more balanced approach that does not remake Medicare and Medicaid and asks for more revenue from the wealthy. And they suggest another potential parallel with the Clinton years of divided government: that Republicans risk a voter backlash with their uncompromising stands.

“Democrats created Social Security and Medicare, and we have fought for decades against Republican attempts to end these programs,” said Dan Pfeiffer, Mr. Obama’s communications director. “And President Obama believes that now is the time for Democrats to be the ones to step up and save Social Security and Medicare.”

Mark Mellman, a Democratic pollster, said polling data showed that at this point in his term, Mr. Obama, compared with past Democratic presidents, was doing as well or better with Democratic voters. “Whatever qualms or questions they may have about this policy or that policy, at the end of the day the one thing they’re absolutely certain of — they’re going to hate these Republican candidates,” Mr. Mellman said. “So I’m not honestly all that worried about a solid or enthusiastic base.”

A New Way of Life by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber's

When David Servan-Schreiber, a dedicated scientist and doctor, was diagnosed with brain cancer, his life changed. Confronting what medicine knows about the illness and the little-known workings of his body's natural cancer ­fighting capacities, and marshaling his own will to live, Servan-Schreiber found himself on a fifteen-­year journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration and, finally, to health.
Combining memoir, concise explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them, and drawing on both conventional and alternative ways to slow and prevent cancer, Anticancer is revolutionary. It is a moving story of a doctor's inner and outer search for balance; radical in its discussion of the environment, lifestyle, and trauma; and compelling and cautionary in its proposal that cancer cells lie dormant in all of us and that we all must care for the "terrain" in which they exist.

Advocating a sea change in the way we understand and confront cancer, Anticancer is a radical synthesis of science and personal experience, an inspiring personal journey, and certainly a guide to "a new way of life." Anticancer tells us:

◊ Why the traditional Western diet creates the conditions for disease and how to develop a science-based anticancer diet
◊ How and why sugar and stress feed cancer and ways to achieve life balance and good nutrition to combat it
◊ Why the effects of helplessness and unhealed wounds affect our ability to restore health
◊ How to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation
◊ How to minimize environmental toxins
◊ How to find the right blend of traditional and alternative health care
