financial management training YMCA Achiever Kirk Villaloboz finance training for non financial managers
financial management training Kirk Villaloboz U.S. Bank In his childhood, Kirk remembers with a smile that he thought he’d grow up to be a famous football player…or the next Michael Jackson.

news hot picture Puss In Boots Australian Premiere: Sydney\'s Entertainment Quarter Puss Mania, by Eva Rinaldi The Puss In Boots Australian premiere took place at Moore Park, Fox Studios today, and it was quite the cat\'s meow (and hot alongside the yellow carpet). It was just about the purr fect time, with the holiday season coming up down under in Australia. Lots of teen girls attended this this one, with many bringing along their mums. Sydney media were glued to the yellow carpet and and no kitty litter was required, but bottles of water were popular with the crowd. Promotional blurb reads \"A story about the events leading up to the sword fighting cat\'s meeting with Shrek and his friends\", but that\'s making it sound too simple. Vet\'s and the like will advise you that cats don’t like being sprayed in the face with water. It may go without saying, but most users of a litter box also don’t care to be smacked in the head with a guitar. Fortunately, we have cartoons like “Puss in Boots†to swing the point home. Some people know him as Frisky Two Times, some as the Chupacabra. But, most refer to him as Puss in Boots (voice of Antonio Banderas), a feline unlike any other, both because of his famous footwear and his well known cat fighting skills. After appearing as a sidekick in three “Shrek†movies and numerous holiday specials, it’s great to see an expanded presentation of Banderas’ most beloved role, with Puss bearing more of a resemblance to the famous Zorro. His wicked sense of humour is loved by millions. DreamWorks Animation and Paramount Pictures have done Puss justice with this production, and we hope the numbers are good for their beancounting friends. The good news is that it\'s not a dog of a film. The puss personality lends itself to fast-paced or is that fast footed adventure and hilarity, to put you and your cat in stitches. Puss in Boots is a well known entity, but this cat flick also comes across as fresh and very cool for cats. Australia will not be changing the flicks name to \'Cat In Boots\' as the United Arab Emirates has done. Us Aussies remain very high on the original \'Puss\'. Round up the kids of all ages and lick up the action at Puss In Boots. It\'s truly the cat\'s meow. 4 out of 5 paws.

la video Free Alto Arizona concert buy bathing suits
la video ​Manu Chao Stands in Solidarity with Sheriff Joe Arpaio Protesters It was a familiar sight in front of Sheriff Joe Arpaio\'s downtown office yesterday afternoon. Another assembly of a dozen protesters or so had gathered and members of the media were waiting in tow. Word eventually reached Joe that some multilingual, slightly-famous international recording artist was on his way to play some music or something. \"Is he gonna sing my favorite song \'My Way,\'\" Arpaio asks. Not quite Joe. This \"singer-guy\" happens to be Manu Chao and um, he\'s kind of a big deal. Ahead of tonight\'s free Alto Arizona concert across the street from El Portal Restaurant at West Grant and S. 2nd Avenue, Manu stopped by the Wells Fargo building Arpaio has called home since 1998, to stand in solidarity with the protesters who have gathered tirelessly in an effort to oust the sheriff. \"A lot of people here are trying to fight against these new laws and I think it\'s important to come and see what\'s happening with my own eyes and do my part to better the world,\" Manu says. \"My message [to Arpaio] would be, that it makes no sense to make more people suffer for something that is naturally coming. You cannot make war against a flow that is natural.\" Other countries, such as Manu\'s native France and Spain, are dealing with immigration issues such as Arizona\'s. He says that around the world, the negative sentiment toward illegal immigration is also shrouded in hypocrisy. \"We\'re here because we also know of this problem,\" he says in Spanish. He compares the treatment of illegals in Arizona to that of those in Europe, calling it a \"terrible injustice.\" \"That [kind of treatment] doesn\'t lead to a good future in any society,\" he says. Manu_AZ.jpg ​It didn\'t take long for word of Arizona\'s own bigoted laws to travel across the ocean. The news, he explains, is that the situation regarding immigrants, illegals in particular, has reached a critical mass. They\'ve also heard of the paranoia and fear immigrants feel when they go to buy bread, and face the possibility that they may not return home. He hopes that this visit will offer Arizona immigrants some kind of support. A mantra he repeated throughout the afternoon was that, \"the youth is in the south; the west is old.\" A reference to the young legs immigrants are starting to stretch, compared to the old dogmatic rhetoric Arpaio and his ilk have spewed for years. \"That\'s not poetry, that\'s a reality. Any kind of society needs youth.\" Manu did in fact sing a song for Sheriff Joe, but it wasn\'t anything popularized by old blue eyes. He sang \"Clandestino,\" ending his verse with, \"Mano Negra, clandestino, Mexicano, clandestino, Boliviano, clandestino, Joe Arpaio, illegal.\" Arpaio may not have caught the serenade but he couldn\'t have been happy with Manu Chao\'s appearance. Upon Chao\'s arrival, the crowd of protesters and media shifted almost all of their attention to him. Arpaio waited patiently to engage this \"singer\" in dialogue but eventually threw in the towel and made his way back up to his lair. \"You can tell your singer has no guts to talk to the sheriff, I\'m leaving.\" FULL LINK WITH SOUND AND VIDEO: blogs.phoenixnewtimes/uponsun/2011/09/manu_chao_stands_in_solidarity.php\" blogs.phoenixnewtimes/uponsun/2011/09/manu_chao_stand...

headline tamil actress Indian Counsel General Prabhu Dayal insulted by FIA President Deepak Patel, Mayor Bloomberg & Shilpa Shetty at India Day Parade: STILL ATTENDED THE EVENING GALA PARTY RATHER THEN BOYCOTTING IT news pakistani actress
headline tamil actress Indian Counsel General Prabhu Dayal insulted by FIA President Deepak Patel, Mayor Bloomberg & Shilpa Shetty at India Day Parade: STILL ATTENDED THE EVENING GALA PARTY RATHER THEN BOYCOTTING IT news pakistani actress
headline tamil actress Indian Consul General in New York Prabhu Dayal barely visible behind Mayor Bloomberg and FIA President. Dayal and Ambassador Hardeep Puri did not come to review stand and walked out of the parade half way through. TheSouthAsianTimes August 29-September 4, 2009 Grow up FIA, for India’s sake By Prakaash M. Swami Consulting Editor, The South Asian Times Though it is said that Indians move as villagers, it looks as if the US-based Indians move along with their fraternal associations originating in India. We have Tamil Sangams, Gujarati Samajs, Kannada Kootas and Mahrashtra Mandals that help them connect with their roots and provide the much-needed cultural connection. Such associations offer invaluable support in retaining heritage and culture besides providing a forum for their (Indian-Americans’) children to art forms like Bharatanatyam and vocal music. Though the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) and the Association of American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) are the two largest bodies of their kind, they are more of professional organizations catering to people who follow a particular trade or practice. But the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA), which comprises all cultural and linguistic associations, is truly a grass-roots organization. Though Indian associations grouped, regrouped, get split and re-formed like the National Federation of Indian Associations (NFIA), Association of Indians in America (AIA) -- FIA itself has split into several groups in the East and West Coast, yet it continues to be the premier body. The annual FIA parade that rolls down the streets of Manhattan to commemorate India’s Independence Day was something every Indian in the Tristate area looked forward to attend. Did I say was? Such celebrities as Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, A R Rahman, Dilip Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar have walked along with governors, mayors, Indian ambassadors and US lawmakers, greeting the crowds waving the Tricolor proudly. Not even the Dotbusters issue that rocked the Tristate area in late 1980s or terrorist attacks of 9/11 could dampen this spirit. So, what went wrong? The spirit of service among FIA officeholders is slowly giving way to publicity craze. Gone are the days when FIA leaders and officeholders worked tirelessly to push the umbrella body to greater heights without craving the media attention. Seeking publicity is no sin and in fact it acts as a morale-booster. But it seems that the FIA has decimated India Day parade as a mere photo-op at the expense of sponsors who still believe in keeping India’s flag flying high in a foreign land. Pushing and jostling to be next to the grand marshal goes on unabashedly in front of thousands of those who wait for hours to get a glimpse of their favorite star pass by. Depending on his or her popularity graph, the star takes home $30,000 to $60,000 to attend the parade and the following day’s banquet. Plus he or she is given 5-6 first class airline tickets (usually by the grand sponsor Air India) to bring along parents, pets, nannies, and friends. To chronicle the antics of these visiting stars and how FIA officials bend over backwards to accommodate them calls for a separate book. There have been only a few celebrities who never made a fuss and simply accepted to be grand marshals. Among them was Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman, who charged the organizers not even a penny. So, do we really need the high-maintenance stars? Things have come to such a sorry pass that spots to be next to the star are now being “auctioned†and the highest bidder in the FIA gets to walk in tandem with the celebrity waving out to the waiting crowds and pose for photographs. Like in the past years, the front line at the start of the parade formed with Consul General, New York, who represents the Government of India, the Indian ambassador to the UN, heads of Air India and the State Bank of India (SBI) -- the last two pick up hefty sponsorship amounts -- and other prominent non-film invitees from India were quickly relegated to the third or fourth row with the arrival of the grand marshal and mayor. No wonder, despite repeated pleas by FIA top echelons, governors, mayors, Indian envoys, US lawmakers declined to attend the parade. Once bitten, twice shy? The FIA president, serving a one year term, always tries to do the balancing actâ€"to be good to the grand sponsors who open their checkbooks to be in the front row and VIPs like the consul general and UN envoy whose support he needs to get sponsorships from Air India, SBI and India Inc. But what happened this year was unprecedented even by FIA standards. It seems as if the entire FIA leadership â€" past and present -- wanted to be seen next to Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty, causing unexplainable embarrassment to other guests. What a shame? Each of these so-called community leaders had their own embedded shutterbugs with fake press badges to click non-stop as soon as their “clients†came close to the star. Unable to tolerate the humiliation, Consul General Prabhu Dayal and Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri â€"their first Independence Day in New York - did not come to the review stand and walked out of the parade half way through. Their predecessors had done the same in the past. It was their first experience with FIA. Top FIA leaders had to troop down to the consulate later to ask for forgiveness from the consul general for their shameful act of pushing consul general to the back rows. The consulate places the historic ballroom at the disposal of the FIA each year to announce and kick off the parade. Last year, the then consul general Neelam Deo was insulted when the FIA leaders lit the inaugural lamp without waiting for her to come to the podium as chief guest. She walked out of the ballroom in sheer disgust. Worse, the organizers disrespected the national anthem of both the US and India by abruptly stopping and re-playing alternately thrice, something that made major headlines in India. New York Governor George Pataki who came to the parade several years ago realized his misjudgment and stayed away the following years. Ditto with present Governor David Paterson who came as a Lt. Governor but was not respected. Another Governor, Mario Cuomo, said in a radio program that the India Day parade was the worst he ever attended in his lifetime. Mayor Mike Bloomberg who did not attend except a few times during his eight years in office, showed up because this is the election year. Accredited journalists and photographers of the local Indian media, assigned to cover the parade, were prevented from going near the star to take photos and got pushed around by security personnel while several American photographers shot the star and the mayor to their hearts’ content. All pleas by Indian media fell on deaf ears of FIA leaders. Discrimination of Indians by Indians? Sad but true. FIA needs publicity but not the Indian media. The press release issued by the FIA had 12 photos, of which eight were that of only the two FIA leaders with Shilpa Shetty. Unabashed misuse of power! FIA also committed a grave blunder by taking sides in the political system by openly canvassing for Mayor Bloomberg at the parade in the full glare of his opponent New York City Comptroller William Thompson. FIA leaders freely distributed “Indians for Mike Bloomberg†placards and told people to wave out when Bloomberg passed by to please him and may be as a return favor for showing up at the parade. “These leaders have no idea of the potential damage their actions could cause to FIA. The federation could lose its non-profit status for taking such active part in local politics,†lamented a former FIA president. The news media were not treated fairly even at the press conference with Shilpa Shetty at the Radisson Hotel in Manhattan. The hall was filled with digital camera-toting children and women all from FIA folks’ families. Media persons waiting in the front row for better view for over an hour were asked to go to the back rows to accommodate the family of FIA president, past presidents and other officeholders. “Is this a news conference or a family conference in disguise,†asked a reporter who was shouted down. Finally the press conference began but with a very unusual “appeal†by the media coordinator â€" no personal question, no film question, no embarrassing question and if possible no question at all. After some “soft†questions, one reporter asked Shetty for her reaction to the “detention†of Shah Rukh Khan and she was getting ready to answer - a kind of sound bite for the half a dozen TV channels eager to develop the King Khan story that created a wave of protests in India. Just then, the media coordinator rushed in to announce that Shetty would not answer such questions much to the embarrassment of the actress herself. What a travesty in the country that had adopted First Amendment in the Constitution? At the Royal Albert’s Palace reception in New Jersey on August 17 too the media were treated as if they had come there merely to eat and drink. “We do not need you,†screamed an FIA official with the hapless president not knowing where to hide. This when journalists were invited to the reception repeatedly during the press conference and the kickoff party at the consulate. Several FIA past presidents and stalwarts decided to return home fed up with the total mess created at the registration desk and being made to wait for hours for banquet tickets. Senior journalists including this writer who has been covering the parade and reception for over a decade, decided to walk out rather than take the heap of insults. Last year, guests had to go hungry as there was not enough food for everyone though the FIA had pocketed $50,000 for the reception as donation from Dr. Vijay Mallya who was the chief guest along with grand marshal Deepika Padukone. We journalists certainly have nothing against the FIA and want it to grow into a professional organization and learn a lesson or two from the organizers of the Colombia Day parade, the Puerto Rico Day parade or even the Pakistan Day parade that is growing into a big attraction. The FIA is after all a public charitable organization (a 501 © 3 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Code) whose income and expenses are open to public scrutiny. It’s advisable for those at the helm of affairs not to lose the non-profit status by their reckless acts and tarnish the image of India in the US.

headline tamil actress Indian Consul General in New York Prabhu Dayal barely visible behind Mayor Bloomberg and FIA President. Dayal and Ambassador Hardeep Puri did not come to review stand and walked out of the parade half way through. TheSouthAsianTimes August 29-September 4, 2009 Grow up FIA, for India’s sake By Prakaash M. Swami Consulting Editor, The South Asian Times Though it is said that Indians move as villagers, it looks as if the US-based Indians move along with their fraternal associations originating in India. We have Tamil Sangams, Gujarati Samajs, Kannada Kootas and Mahrashtra Mandals that help them connect with their roots and provide the much-needed cultural connection. Such associations offer invaluable support in retaining heritage and culture besides providing a forum for their (Indian-Americans’) children to art forms like Bharatanatyam and vocal music. Though the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) and the Association of American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) are the two largest bodies of their kind, they are more of professional organizations catering to people who follow a particular trade or practice. But the Federation of Indian Associations (FIA), which comprises all cultural and linguistic associations, is truly a grass-roots organization. Though Indian associations grouped, regrouped, get split and re-formed like the National Federation of Indian Associations (NFIA), Association of Indians in America (AIA) -- FIA itself has split into several groups in the East and West Coast, yet it continues to be the premier body. The annual FIA parade that rolls down the streets of Manhattan to commemorate India’s Independence Day was something every Indian in the Tristate area looked forward to attend. Did I say was? Such celebrities as Amitabh Bachchan, Raj Kapoor, A R Rahman, Dilip Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar have walked along with governors, mayors, Indian ambassadors and US lawmakers, greeting the crowds waving the Tricolor proudly. Not even the Dotbusters issue that rocked the Tristate area in late 1980s or terrorist attacks of 9/11 could dampen this spirit. So, what went wrong? The spirit of service among FIA officeholders is slowly giving way to publicity craze. Gone are the days when FIA leaders and officeholders worked tirelessly to push the umbrella body to greater heights without craving the media attention. Seeking publicity is no sin and in fact it acts as a morale-booster. But it seems that the FIA has decimated India Day parade as a mere photo-op at the expense of sponsors who still believe in keeping India’s flag flying high in a foreign land. Pushing and jostling to be next to the grand marshal goes on unabashedly in front of thousands of those who wait for hours to get a glimpse of their favorite star pass by. Depending on his or her popularity graph, the star takes home $30,000 to $60,000 to attend the parade and the following day’s banquet. Plus he or she is given 5-6 first class airline tickets (usually by the grand sponsor Air India) to bring along parents, pets, nannies, and friends. To chronicle the antics of these visiting stars and how FIA officials bend over backwards to accommodate them calls for a separate book. There have been only a few celebrities who never made a fuss and simply accepted to be grand marshals. Among them was Oscar-winning composer A R Rahman, who charged the organizers not even a penny. So, do we really need the high-maintenance stars? Things have come to such a sorry pass that spots to be next to the star are now being “auctioned†and the highest bidder in the FIA gets to walk in tandem with the celebrity waving out to the waiting crowds and pose for photographs. Like in the past years, the front line at the start of the parade formed with Consul General, New York, who represents the Government of India, the Indian ambassador to the UN, heads of Air India and the State Bank of India (SBI) -- the last two pick up hefty sponsorship amounts -- and other prominent non-film invitees from India were quickly relegated to the third or fourth row with the arrival of the grand marshal and mayor. No wonder, despite repeated pleas by FIA top echelons, governors, mayors, Indian envoys, US lawmakers declined to attend the parade. Once bitten, twice shy? The FIA president, serving a one year term, always tries to do the balancing actâ€"to be good to the grand sponsors who open their checkbooks to be in the front row and VIPs like the consul general and UN envoy whose support he needs to get sponsorships from Air India, SBI and India Inc. But what happened this year was unprecedented even by FIA standards. It seems as if the entire FIA leadership â€" past and present -- wanted to be seen next to Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty, causing unexplainable embarrassment to other guests. What a shame? Each of these so-called community leaders had their own embedded shutterbugs with fake press badges to click non-stop as soon as their “clients†came close to the star. Unable to tolerate the humiliation, Consul General Prabhu Dayal and Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri â€"their first Independence Day in New York - did not come to the review stand and walked out of the parade half way through. Their predecessors had done the same in the past. It was their first experience with FIA.

Botanically close to Curcuma australasica, wild turmeric has been widely used as a cosmetic herbal in South Asia and nearby regions. Nomenclature Comon name in English: wild turmeric, aromatic turmeric Hindi: जंगली हलà¥à¤¦à¥€ jangli haldi Manipuri: লম যাঈঙাঙ lam yaingang Gujarati: zedoari Tamil: கஸà¯à®¤à¯‚தி மஞà¯à®œà®³à¯ kasturimanjal Malayalam: à´•à´¸àµà´¤àµ‚à´°à´¿ മഞàµà´žàµ¾ / കാടàµà´Ÿàµà´®à´žàµà´žàµ¾ kasthoori manjnjaL / kaaTTu manjnjaL Telugu: kasthuri pasupa Kannada: kasthuri arishina Wild turmeric has rhizomes with a peculiar fragrance and attractive deep yellow color. The rhizomes are often used in cosmetic herbal medicines and as a culinary ingredient in limited quantities as a food flavor. Leaves are broad and very decorative, elliptic with a leaf stem running as long to the tip of the blade. A fresh stalk with flowers and leaves, cut to proper size and shape, can be used as a floral indoor decoration in vase for up to 10 days. Wild turmeric is recognised as a medical herb with strong antibiotic properties. It is believed to play a role in preventing and curing cancer in Chinese medicine. In an effort to remove cell accumulations such as a tumors, Curcuma aromatica is often used. There are two species commonly used in cancer therapy that, like ginger, have a spicy taste.It contains aromatic volatile oils that help to remove excessive lipids from the blood, reduce aggregation of platelets (sticking of the blood cells to form masses), and reduce inflammation. Habitat This species is found in the south Asian region, predominantly in eastern Himalayas and in the warm forests of the Western Ghats (India). Life cycle The wild ginger is one among the 80 members of Zingiberaceae family of plants. The perennial foliage dies down in late autumn and the rhizomes remain dormant in winter. The inflorescence appears in early spring from the base of the rhizomes. During summer monsoon season and the immediately following weeks, the plant grows fast and vigorously. The stalk grows to about 20â€"30 centimetres (7.9â€"11.8 in) tall, and is crowned with enlarged coloured bracts with pink tips. Leaves often appear even after the flowers. When in full growth the plants can reach a height of about 40 cm (16 in) tall. **** .imperialextracts/curcuma-aromatica-oil.htm\" .imperialextracts/curcuma-aromatica-oil.htm **** .bitterrootrestoration/perennials-plants/curcuma-aromatica.html\" .bitterrootrestoration/perennials-plants/curcuma-a... **** .flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Wild\" .flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Wild Turmeric.html **** .efloras/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=200028365\" .efloras/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=2... **** .paradisemoon/herbal/Siam-Natural_wan_nang_kham_herbal_treatment.htm\" .paradisemoon/herbal/Siam-Natural_wan_nang_kham_he... Wan Nang Kham (Curcuma aromatica belonging to the genus Zingiberaceae) produces yellow zeodary stout underground rhizomes containing anti-cancer and powerful antibiotic properties that have been associated with the components of various natural products including green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, capsaicin, taxol, berberine and curcumin. Wan Nang Kham is used for various types of health afflictions traditionally to invigorate and promote blood circulation and relieve muscle and joint pain in holistic massage therapy in Asia using the burred tuber in compound substances as an therapuetic traditional medicine. Wan Nang Kham is antiseptic, aromatic, uplifting, relaxing, refreshing, and a soothing skin conditioner. This native herb has a long history as a remedy dating back to ancient times. In holistic & Ayurvedic medicine, Wan Nang Kham has been prescribed for poor vision, rheumatic complaints, and to increase breast milk production. Because it aids in the digestion of proteins and the absorption of nutrients, as well as stimulating the flow of bile, Wan Nang Kham with it\'s high content of curcumin is used as a treatment for certain stomach ailments, diarrhea, and flatulence. Due to its antiseptic qualities, it has been used to treat bronchial asthma and coughs. It’s also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It can lower cholesterol levels and protect against certain cancers and heart disease. Through studies, it has been found to protect against Alzheimer’s. As a beauty aid, eating this colorful herb has been said to give your skin a natural glow Numerous sequiterpines have been reported from Curcuma aromatica and the inhibition of angiogenesis (a physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels) has been shown to be the most common anti-cancer mechanism conjoint by many cancer therapies. Wan Nang Kham is a wild plant of the forests of western Nepal, China, Bhutan, India, Burmma (Myanmar), and Sri Lanka and has long been used in traditional holistic medicine as an antibiotic, and anti cancer agent. Oil extracted from Curcuma aromatica has been shown to exert anti-tumor activity on various cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Anti-cancer molecule A- elemene has been isolated from volatile oil of Curcuma. aromatica. **** .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21287405\" .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21287405 Abstract Curcuma species (Zingiberaceae) are used as both food and medicine in Asia. Ten sesquiterpenes (1-10) and two curcuminoids (11 and 12) were isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. and identified. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP). Among them, the sesquiterpene (4S,5S)-(+)-germacrone-4,5-epoxide (7) inhibited certain subtypes of CYP more potently than or at levels comparable to the curcuminoids curcumin (11) and demethoxycurcumin (12); 7 (IC(50) = 1.0 ± 0.2 μM) > 12 (IC(50) = 7.0 ± 1.7 μM) > 11 (IC(50) = 14.9 ± 1.4 μM) for CYP3A4 inhibition; 12 (IC(50) = 1.4 ± 0.2 μM) > 11 (IC(50) = 6.0 ± 1.4 μM) > 7 (IC(50) = 7.6 ± 2.5 μM) for CYP2C9 inhibition; and 7 (IC(50) = 33.2 ± 3.6 μM) = 12 (IC(50) = 34.0 ± 14.2 μM) > 11 (IC(50) > 100 μM) for CYP1A2 inhibition. These results suggest the possibility that Curcuma aromatica Salisb. may cause food-drug interactions via cytochrome P450 inhibition by sesquiterpene 7 and curcuminoids 11 and 12.

Botanically close to Curcuma australasica, wild turmeric has been widely used as a cosmetic herbal in South Asia and nearby regions. Nomenclature Comon name in English: wild turmeric, aromatic turmeric Hindi: जंगली हलà¥à¤¦à¥€ jangli haldi Manipuri: লম যাঈঙাঙ lam yaingang Gujarati: zedoari Tamil: கஸà¯à®¤à¯‚தி மஞà¯à®œà®³à¯ kasturimanjal Malayalam: à´•à´¸àµà´¤àµ‚à´°à´¿ മഞàµà´žàµ¾ / കാടàµà´Ÿàµà´®à´žàµà´žàµ¾ kasthoori manjnjaL / kaaTTu manjnjaL Telugu: kasthuri pasupa Kannada: kasthuri arishina Wild turmeric has rhizomes with a peculiar fragrance and attractive deep yellow color. The rhizomes are often used in cosmetic herbal medicines and as a culinary ingredient in limited quantities as a food flavor. Leaves are broad and very decorative, elliptic with a leaf stem running as long to the tip of the blade. A fresh stalk with flowers and leaves, cut to proper size and shape, can be used as a floral indoor decoration in vase for up to 10 days. Wild turmeric is recognised as a medical herb with strong antibiotic properties. It is believed to play a role in preventing and curing cancer in Chinese medicine. In an effort to remove cell accumulations such as a tumors, Curcuma aromatica is often used. There are two species commonly used in cancer therapy that, like ginger, have a spicy taste.It contains aromatic volatile oils that help to remove excessive lipids from the blood, reduce aggregation of platelets (sticking of the blood cells to form masses), and reduce inflammation. Habitat This species is found in the south Asian region, predominantly in eastern Himalayas and in the warm forests of the Western Ghats (India). Life cycle The wild ginger is one among the 80 members of Zingiberaceae family of plants. The perennial foliage dies down in late autumn and the rhizomes remain dormant in winter. The inflorescence appears in early spring from the base of the rhizomes. During summer monsoon season and the immediately following weeks, the plant grows fast and vigorously. The stalk grows to about 20â€"30 centimetres (7.9â€"11.8 in) tall, and is crowned with enlarged coloured bracts with pink tips. Leaves often appear even after the flowers. When in full growth the plants can reach a height of about 40 cm (16 in) tall. **** .imperialextracts/curcuma-aromatica-oil.htm\" .imperialextracts/curcuma-aromatica-oil.htm **** .bitterrootrestoration/perennials-plants/curcuma-aromatica.html\" .bitterrootrestoration/perennials-plants/curcuma-a... **** .flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Wild\" .flowersofindia.in/catalog/slides/Wild Turmeric.html **** .efloras/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=200028365\" .efloras/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=3&taxon_id=2... **** .paradisemoon/herbal/Siam-Natural_wan_nang_kham_herbal_treatment.htm\" .paradisemoon/herbal/Siam-Natural_wan_nang_kham_he... Wan Nang Kham (Curcuma aromatica belonging to the genus Zingiberaceae) produces yellow zeodary stout underground rhizomes containing anti-cancer and powerful antibiotic properties that have been associated with the components of various natural products including green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, capsaicin, taxol, berberine and curcumin. Wan Nang Kham is used for various types of health afflictions traditionally to invigorate and promote blood circulation and relieve muscle and joint pain in holistic massage therapy in Asia using the burred tuber in compound substances as an therapuetic traditional medicine. Wan Nang Kham is antiseptic, aromatic, uplifting, relaxing, refreshing, and a soothing skin conditioner. This native herb has a long history as a remedy dating back to ancient times. In holistic & Ayurvedic medicine, Wan Nang Kham has been prescribed for poor vision, rheumatic complaints, and to increase breast milk production. Because it aids in the digestion of proteins and the absorption of nutrients, as well as stimulating the flow of bile, Wan Nang Kham with it\'s high content of curcumin is used as a treatment for certain stomach ailments, diarrhea, and flatulence. Due to its antiseptic qualities, it has been used to treat bronchial asthma and coughs. It’s also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It can lower cholesterol levels and protect against certain cancers and heart disease. Through studies, it has been found to protect against Alzheimer’s. As a beauty aid, eating this colorful herb has been said to give your skin a natural glow Numerous sequiterpines have been reported from Curcuma aromatica and the inhibition of angiogenesis (a physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels) has been shown to be the most common anti-cancer mechanism conjoint by many cancer therapies. Wan Nang Kham is a wild plant of the forests of western Nepal, China, Bhutan, India, Burmma (Myanmar), and Sri Lanka and has long been used in traditional holistic medicine as an antibiotic, and anti cancer agent. Oil extracted from Curcuma aromatica has been shown to exert anti-tumor activity on various cancer cells in vitro and in vivo. Anti-cancer molecule A- elemene has been isolated from volatile oil of Curcuma. aromatica. **** .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21287405\" .ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21287405 Abstract Curcuma species (Zingiberaceae) are used as both food and medicine in Asia. Ten sesquiterpenes (1-10) and two curcuminoids (11 and 12) were isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aromatica Salisb. and identified. The compounds were evaluated for their ability to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP). Among them, the sesquiterpene (4S,5S)-(+)-germacrone-4,5-epoxide (7) inhibited certain subtypes of CYP more potently than or at levels comparable to the curcuminoids curcumin (11) and demethoxycurcumin (12); 7 (IC(50) = 1.0 ± 0.2 μM) > 12 (IC(50) = 7.0 ± 1.7 μM) > 11 (IC(50) = 14.9 ± 1.4 μM) for CYP3A4 inhibition; 12 (IC(50) = 1.4 ± 0.2 μM) > 11 (IC(50) = 6.0 ± 1.4 μM) > 7 (IC(50) = 7.6 ± 2.5 μM) for CYP2C9 inhibition; and 7 (IC(50) = 33.2 ± 3.6 μM) = 12 (IC(50) = 34.0 ± 14.2 μM) > 11 (IC(50) > 100 μM) for CYP1A2 inhibition. These results suggest the possibility that Curcuma aromatica Salisb. may cause food-drug interactions via cytochrome P450 inhibition by sesquiterpene 7 and curcuminoids 11 and 12.

In order to better understand the perfection of God\'s creation, look at only a few of the millions of other examples of His art. As it says in Qur\'an, all creatures are under His complete control: . There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. (Qur\'an, 11: 56) A countless number of organisms are living on this planet; and millions of different insect species alone.Of all the different types of eye, the human eye is the most superior overall, although the eyes of some species boast of features that are superior to those of humans. There are as many different types of eye as there are species, and we have already shown how impossible it is for such a variety to evolve through mutations and natural selection. God has given every organism an eye that suits their lifestyle and feeding habits. In this section, we\'ll examine the eye structures of many different species. Insect Eyes Insects view the world through thousands of tiny eyes. Compared to human eyes, the eyes of insects are considerably different. Their structures come in one of two types, simple or complex. Simple-structured eyes are round and small, capable only of separating light and dark. Compound eyes, on the other hand, are larger and more complex, made up of hundreds of small pieces. Each \"piece\" is actually a small eye because it contains light sensitivecells, a lens, and connections to the brain. As mentioned before, a human eye\'s lens can change shape, letting us focus on objects at various distances. The lens in an insect\'s eye cannot change shape, however, and so insects cannot focus. The compound eye works by each of the eye\'s six-sided compartments (called ommatidia) detecting a tiny portion of the visual field. The information from each ommatidium is then combined, like pieces of a mosaic, to form a single image of the outside world. The higher the number of ommatidia, the keener the vision becomes, with each unit contributing a different part of the complete picture. 35 The head of the common housefly is dominated by a pair of large compound eyes containing approximately 4,000 ommatidia. In wingless insects such as female fireflies there are 300 ommatidia, 5,100 in mayflies, 9,000 in yellow-winged coleopterans and between 10,000 and 28,000 in dragonflies and damselflies. The wide visual perspective of a fly\'s eyes. A Visual Range of 360 Degrees The housefly\'s eye contains 4,000 small, simple ommatidia which can be moved at will. Since each ommatidium faces a different direction, the fly is able to see to the front, back, left, right, top and bottom, giving it a 360 degree perspective of the world. Each ommatidium is sensitive to light shining in its direction, and uses its own lens and eight sensitive cells to process it. House flies have a combined total of 48,000 light-sensitive cells, allowing them to see 100 images per second. In this regard, their vision is ten times superior to the human eye. Two-thirds of the fly\'s brain is devoted purely to sight. The total number of light-sensitive cells means that 48,000 signals are sent here every tenth of a second. Most people think of the fly as one of the most basic forms of life, but its visual system is in fact one of the most complicated we know. Thanks to the flawless design of its eyes, the housefly can look 360 degrees around. At left, a detailed diagram of an ommatidium, of which the fly\'s eye contains some 4,000. A tiny fly did not evolve or mutate its 4,000 eyes over a period a time. Clearly. This is a special creation. Of course, the fly is not composed of merely its visual system-it also has special digestive, reproductive and flight systems. Only with all its systems intact can the fly thrive. It is not possible for a fly to exist, for example, without a digestive or respiratory system. Nor are there any blind insects flying around! This is solid evidence that the fly was created by God in its current state, as mentioned in the Qur\'an: Mankind! An example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides God are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! (Qur\'an, 22: 73) An Insect with 56,000 Eyes Among all known species, dragonflies have the greatest number of ommatidia. Each eye contains 30,000 of them,36 which can clearly see objects up to 20 feet away.37 To recap this phenomenon, a single tiny insect has a total of 56,000 eyes, each of which has a lens, retina, and thousands of nerves connecting it to the central nervous system. As a result of this, the dragonfly can see its prey and understand what it is seeing. The presence of just a single eye with a single neuron and the ability to evaluate a single signal is a miracle on its own. But there are thousands of these eyes, all working in complete harmony. This is just another of God\'s countless phenomenon. God is the One Who has no equal in creation. Ultraviolet Vision Butterflies and bees both possess a special sense of sight, allowing them to reach sources of food with ease. In some flowers, the pigments form distinct patterns that are invisible to us, but visible to bees and butterflies, who can see ultraviolet light. Called nectar guides, these patterns are like the landing strips of an airport, directing the insects to the nectar within the flower. It is as if their food sources were lit up and signposted especially for them. To our eyes, the coneflower appears to be a uniformly yellowish orange, but to a bee or butterfly, it appears as a corona of yellow with a glowing ultraviolet bull\'s eye in its center. This pattern guides the bee to where it can collect the nectar or pollen. Bees feed on the pollen produced by plants. The plants, on the other hand, needs the bee to spread their pollen among other flowers of the same species in order to reproduce. Therefore, the flower uses its petals to attract the bee and sticks pollen onto the bee\'s legs as it feeds. Both partners possess the necessary features to enable this collaboration. Imagine a situation wherein flowers continued to reflect in the ultraviolet range, but bees were unable to see that portion of the spectrum. Both species would swiftly go extinct, because the bee would not be able to feed, nor the flower to reproduce. This is proof that these co-dependent organisms were created by the same Creator. Birds For a flying creature, the most important sense is sight, because the miracle of flight would become a very dangerous affair without the ability to see. Birds, therefore, have been blessed by God with a superior sense of sight, in addition to the ability to fly. A bird\'s sense of sight has a wider perspective and can operate much more quickly than a human\'s can. An object or view that we humans have to regard at length, a bird can see as a whole, in one quick glance. Eyes are crucial for the predator owl, which can see ten times more powerfully than humans at night.38 Unlike a human, a bird cannot move its eyes in their sockets. But birds can quickly move their heads and necks around to expand their perspective. Without moving its head, an owl has an 80-degree field of vision. But some species of owl can rotate their heads to up to 360 degrees-a full circle! The visual field of one human eye is 150 degrees laterally, and only 180 degrees binocularly, or a half circle.39 As mentioned already, predators such as the owl have very keen night vision, often six times greater than that of humans. This allows them to perform precisely accurate hunting maneuvers. Larger eyes contain more visual cells, providing better vision. A predator bird can have more than a million visual cells in each of its eyes. At night, owls and similar nocturnal birds can see much better than other species. Looking for food, these predator birds search for small animals on the ground, and their eyes can pick up the slightest movements, thanks to a high number of light-sensitive rods in their retinas. As we explained, the more rod cells, the keener night vision becomes. But for this vision, predator birds do pay a price: They sacrifice the sense of color. They see the world in black and white but, owing to their lifestyle, they do not need to see color. So cone cells are quite fewer in the eyes of nocturnal birds. During the past minute, as you read this book, you blinked 22 times. That\'s how your eyes maintained their moisture and cleanliness. But for that split-second that you blinked, your eyes stopped doing their job. For the relatively sedate lifestyle of a human, this may not be a problem. But for a bird in flight, that split-second may be critical. This is why birds have a third eyelid-a transparent layer that blinks and cleans-without their having to close their outer eyelids. This lid sweeps sideways across the eyeball, starting from the side nearest the beak. For birds that dive underwater, it also acts as goggles, protecting the eye from harm. In a sense, birds have been equipped with goggles and aviator glasses from birth. Although nocturnal birds cannot see color, some smaller birds feed on seeds and insects, and therefore do need to discern colors. The eyes of these smaller birds are placed on either side of the head, which lets them see a wide area with minimal movement of the head and neck. The umbrella birds, also known as black herons, encounter a number of difficulties when they hunt in water. As is well-known, most light reflects off the water-which has a negative effect on the bird\'s ability to see objects under the water\'s surface. The black heron solves this problem by spreading its wings. This cuts the sunlight and any reflections, allowing it to see more clearly and hunt for fish underwater. If the black heron didn\'t use its wings this way, it would be unable to see its food and therefore starve. But seabirds are somehow born knowing the laws of optics, and take the needed precautions accordingly. Could it be that all the seabirds came together to find a practical solution to their problem? Or did they take a mass physics lesson and arrive at a solution by experimenting? Hunting Eyes Eagles fly at an altitude of thousands of meters, in a manner similar to modern war planes, yet are able to comb the landscape below in staggering detail. The eagle can detect even the slightest of movements or color changes while in flight. It owes this ability to a very special eye structure. In humans, the portion of the retina with the most acute vision is the fovea centralis, which has the highest concentration of cone cells. Eagles have two foveae, giving them an incredibly sharp sense of sight. Humans have only one fovea in each eye-for binocular, or forward vision. When we look at an object, both our eyes are directed toward the object. This allows our brain to merge both the images to create a sense of depth. The eagle contains a binocular fovea like ours, but also has a fovea for monocular vision that allows each eye to look sideways and see a separate image. So eagles can see both forward and to the side at the same time.40 The eagle has a visual perspective of some 300 degrees, as well as an extra focusing power. Humans change the shape of their lenses to focus. But an eagle can change the shape of both lens and cornea. This gives it extra focusing power.41 It can also scan a 30,000 hectare (116 square miles) field from an altitude of 4,500 meters (14,700 feet), or spot a camouflaged rabbit from 90 meters (300 feet) with ease.42 To attain this super-sharp vision, an eagle\'s retinal cells are tinted with special colored oil droplets, increasing the contrast for objects seen against the blue sky or green forest. Thanks to this, the eagle can spot minute changes in contrast from thousands of meters above and swoop down to hunt. The fact that a mere drop of oil makes this possible is doubtlessly one of God\'s countless blessings. Flying is a miracle in itself. If one aspect of the present structure or position of a bird\'s wing were changed, it would be unable to fly. Therefore, it isn\'t possible for wings to have evolved over time. As mentioned before, something else that couldn\'t possibly have evolved is the visual system. This is reinforced by the flawless nature of an eagle\'s eye. An eye with two foveae cannot form over time, as a result of coincidences. That second fovea was deliberately created to answer the bird\'s needs. For an eagle, that droplet of oil in its retina cells is of staggering importance... But who made this fine optical adjustment? Did the eagle add the oil himself, or on other animals\' recommendation? Of course not. The eagles have enjoyed this feature from birth, for thousands of years. So why are our eyes not as sharp as an eagle\'s? If human eyes contained the same features, they\'d each be the size of a grapefruit. Moreover, humans don\'t need to spot a camouflaged rabbit from a kilometer away. This is why God gave humans their present eyes in a most aesthetic form. Jumping Spiders Compared to ordinary spiders, the jumping spider leads a very unusual life. Rather than make a web and wait for a catch, these spiders hunt their prey instead. This is why-unlike ordinary spiders, which are almost blind-they have exceptionally acute vision. A jumping spider hunts by securing itself to the branch of a tree with the thread it secretes. Then it throws itself toward an insect flying nearby, catching it in midair. In order to snare its catch, the spider needs to see its prey, and determine the direction and speed at which the target is traveling. Also, of course, it must determine its own speed and the duration of the leap. In order to do all this, the spider needs not only an advanced visual system, but an information processing center to make all the necessary calculations. Jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, for a total of eight. The front two are the most impressive, perhaps the best eyes one can find in any arthropod. The retina inside the eye can move in three dimensions, enabling the spider to look in all directions and focus on its subject. The other six eyes are positioned around the head, affording 360-degree vision.43 The jumping spider\'s visual acuity is actually very similar to our own, such that they even perceive images on a television screen. When most animals look at a television, they see only a series of moving dots. But research has indicated that jumping spiders respond to televised pictures of other spiders and insects. The jumping spider\'s visual system is highly complex and, in some respects, surpasses even a human\'s. A tiny spider can look in different directions, detect motions, and estimate speed and distance. Of course, the spider never asked for these abilities, nor did it develop them on its own, over time. Everything the spider possesses was given to him by God. The Protection of Animal Eyes As the body\'s most sensitive organs, the eyes must therefore be well protected. This is why animal skulls have been constructed in such a way as to provide their eyes with maximum protection. In animals like cats and dogs, the majority of the eye lies inside the skull, with only a small portion protruding outside. The bones surrounding the eye effectively act as a shield against impacts, and the eyelids help protect against direct injury. The eyes of a camel-a mammal that lives under incredibly harsh conditions-are provided with the protection they need. The bone structure around its eye not only protects it from impacts, but also from harsh sunrays. Not even violent sandstorms can harm a camel\'s eyes, thanks to its eyelashes, which are long and intertwined, preventing any dust from entering. Eyes in the Sea There are considerable differences between land and underwater creatures, because under the surface is effectively another world, whose inhabitants have been modeled to best suit their environment. But just because they spend their lives underwater doesn\'t mean that their basic requirements are any different from ours. To stay alive, they still need to breathe, feed and avoid being hunted. They have to be able to see the world around them, so that they can distinguish between prey and foe-and require special eyes that let them see clearly underwater. Fish view their world through a transparent layer that covers their eyes, similar in principle to the goggles worn by human divers. But be it a whale or a herring, an underwater creature\'s field of vision is restricted. Deeper than 30 meters (99 feet) below the surface, distant vision becomes unnecessary. Most of the time, in fact, fish need to see only those objects directly in front of them, and their eyes are created to meet this need. Their rigid, globular lens is particularly adapted for seeing close objects. But when they do need to see at a distance, a set of special muscles pulls the entire lens back toward the retina.44 The spherical lens in a fish\'s eye works well underwater. Because of the higher degree of refraction (the bending of light) in water than in air, a fish\'s lens has to be much more curved than a human\'s. To produce a clear image, the lens bends the light a lot more than does a flatter one-such as those in humans and other land animals.45 Water creatures are always in danger of becoming food for larger creatures. But they do have a special defense mechanism not seen in mammals: Fish can perceive more than one image at the same time. A fish\'s eyes are placed on either side of its head. The image seen by each eye is recorded in the opposite half of its brain. But since the image is viewed by one eye only, it is two-dimensional, which prevents the fish from judging distances. This is why, when it spots some potential threat, both eyes focus in the same direction to judge the distance. Straight ahead, the visual arcs of the two eyes overlap to provide a narrow band, where the fish enjoys binocular vision. With the exception of a few species, fish cannot see in color. They have no need to, because only a few meters underwater, most colors are absorbed and disappear. A fish\'s entire world is mostly shades of blue and green. Fish are more sensitive than land animals to dim light, because their retinas contain a higher number of cells sensitive to low intensities, letting them make use of every amount of light possible. Sea turtles generally feed on fish. In the process, they also consume a large quantity of sea salt, which could be unhealthy if they digested it. Rather then simply eject salt from the body, the turtle transfers it to special sacs located on to the side of its eyes. Here, the salt is cleverly recycled and used to produce tears.46 Octopus Eyes Of all the invertebrates, the octopus has one of the most complex eye structures. As in vertebrates, each of the octopus\'s two large, complex eyes is like a camera, in structure, and the creature\'s vision is acute. The octopus eye and the vertebrate eye are extraordinarily similar. Each includes a cornea, an iris, an accommodating lens, a fluid-filled vitreous humor, and a retina. However, there are major differences. For instance, octopi change their range of focus by moving the entire lens closer or farther away from the retina, whereas we change the shape of our cellular lens in order to bring objects into focus. As mentioned earlier, one of the biggest struggles for evolutionists was in forming some explanation of how octopus eyes originated. According to evolutionary theory, octopi (which are invertebrates) and men (vertebrates) developed completely independently of each other, over time. And yet both man and octopus have equally well-developed visual systems, with similar structures performing similar functions. But if the two species developed separately, why are their eyes so similar? It seems that the impossible has taken place not just once, but at several times and in several places. If the human eye is the product of coincidences and not creation, then shouldn\'t it be considerably different than the octopus\'s eye? The theory of evolution simply cannot answer thousands of basic questions like this. The Archer Fish Archer fish hunt by firing mouthfuls of water at nearby insects. Their superior sense of sight allows them to make acute geometric calculations from underwater so as to estimate the correct location of the prey in the outside air. They never miss their targets. This intelligent behavior surely is not the work of the fish itself. It is God Who inspires the Archer fish and all other creatures how to act. This fish is famous for being a living water pistol-filling its mouth with water and squirting it at insects resting on branches or twigs above the water. The element of surprise causes the insect to lose its grip and plunge into the water, where it becomes an easy catch. What\'s remarkable about the process is that even as the archer fish prepares itself, it doesn\'t raise its head out of the water. While still submerged, it can accurately determine the insect\'s location. But the apparent position of objects outside the water is distorted by the retraction of light. For example, if you wanted to shoot an arrow from beneath a swimming pool at a point in the air outside, you\'d have to know at what angle light retracts upon the water and adjust your aim accordingly. But this fish seems to overcome this problem and shoots on target every time. It is able to hit a tiny insect with no difficulty.47 All archer fish possess this ability, but not through lessons and physical calculations. It is God Who inspires this creature. The Crab\'s Periscope A crab has two eyes on the ends of stalks. These act like little periscopes, allowing the crab to see what\'s going on above, even if it is hiding beneath the sand. At any sign of danger, the stalks can be lowered for protection into sockets on the carapace. REPTILE EYES Most reptiles can see a large array of colors, allowing them to pick out even the most effectively camouflaged insects. This gives them a major hunting advantage. Chameleons feed on insects, and their hunting tactics are most unusual because their eyes play a greater role than usual. Chameleons can move each eye independently of the other, allowing them scout the surroundings and watch their insect prey at the same time, as they edge closer to their objective.48 When it is close enough, a chameleon turns both eyes upon its prey, determines its position, and then shoots out its long sticky tongue to catch the meal. Double Vision On most species of snakes, the eyes are placed on either side of the head, which produces two different images in the snake\'s brain. However, this location of the eyes doesn\'t stop the snake from seeing forward. In fact, this positioning gives the snake a wide visual perspective, allowing it to look forwards, backwards and upwards with ease. Infrared Vision As you\'ve seen, the human eye can perceive only a specific range of wavelengths of light. Some species of snake are capable of seeing greater wavelengths than humans, including infrared light, which humans can sense only as heat. Snakes have small pit organs that can visually register infrared radiation. These organs are a hundred thousand times more sensitive to infrared than human skin and can detect even the slightest change in a body\'s temperature. For example, the rattlesnake can locate a warm-blooded animal or human even in pitch darkness, because such creatures radiate off heat waves that the snake can detect-an incredible advantage for any creature hunting at night. The principle of detecting objects and soldiers by the heat they emit is also used in recent optical military equipment. It took years of research to develop the technology behind this kind of equipment, but snakes enjoy the same ability from the moment they hatch from their eggs. It took decades for humans to develop heat-sensing equipment, but snakes have always had it. Eyelids There are vast differences between a reptile\'s eyelids and the eyelids of other creatures. It may appear as if snakes do not have eyelids, for example, but their eyes are in fact covered by an immobile, transparent layer of scales. Lizards, on the other hand, have movable eyelids. But in the desert lizard especially, the eyelids are upturned. This keeps out the sand, preventing it from harming the eye when the lizard buries itself in the sand. The Sensitive Eyes of a Frog Recent research has revealed some of the frog\'s eye\'s interesting abilities. One kind of retinal cell responds strongly to small, dark, round moving objects and is most active when those objects moved irregularly. It is as if the neurons of the frog eyes were designed especially to detect flies. Some scientists call their eyes \"bug detectors.\"49 Cats\' Eyes The eye of a cat contains a layer called the tapetum lucidum, not found in humans. Positioned immediately behind the retina, it reflects incoming light, doubling the amount of light the eye can use and allowing cats to see in much dimmer light than we can. This layer is also the reason why cat eyes seem to glow when a flashlight beam is shined directly at them. Cat eyelids are prized wide open at night, allowing as much light as possible to enter. Another reason why cats can see so well in the dark is because their retinas contain more rod cells than cone cells. Thanks to this system created by God, wild cats can comfortably hunt at night.

In order to better understand the perfection of God\'s creation, look at only a few of the millions of other examples of His art. As it says in Qur\'an, all creatures are under His complete control: . There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock. (Qur\'an, 11: 56) A countless number of organisms are living on this planet; and millions of different insect species alone.Of all the different types of eye, the human eye is the most superior overall, although the eyes of some species boast of features that are superior to those of humans. There are as many different types of eye as there are species, and we have already shown how impossible it is for such a variety to evolve through mutations and natural selection. God has given every organism an eye that suits their lifestyle and feeding habits. In this section, we\'ll examine the eye structures of many different species. Insect Eyes Insects view the world through thousands of tiny eyes. Compared to human eyes, the eyes of insects are considerably different. Their structures come in one of two types, simple or complex. Simple-structured eyes are round and small, capable only of separating light and dark. Compound eyes, on the other hand, are larger and more complex, made up of hundreds of small pieces. Each \"piece\" is actually a small eye because it contains light sensitivecells, a lens, and connections to the brain. As mentioned before, a human eye\'s lens can change shape, letting us focus on objects at various distances. The lens in an insect\'s eye cannot change shape, however, and so insects cannot focus. The compound eye works by each of the eye\'s six-sided compartments (called ommatidia) detecting a tiny portion of the visual field. The information from each ommatidium is then combined, like pieces of a mosaic, to form a single image of the outside world. The higher the number of ommatidia, the keener the vision becomes, with each unit contributing a different part of the complete picture. 35 The head of the common housefly is dominated by a pair of large compound eyes containing approximately 4,000 ommatidia. In wingless insects such as female fireflies there are 300 ommatidia, 5,100 in mayflies, 9,000 in yellow-winged coleopterans and between 10,000 and 28,000 in dragonflies and damselflies. The wide visual perspective of a fly\'s eyes. A Visual Range of 360 Degrees The housefly\'s eye contains 4,000 small, simple ommatidia which can be moved at will. Since each ommatidium faces a different direction, the fly is able to see to the front, back, left, right, top and bottom, giving it a 360 degree perspective of the world. Each ommatidium is sensitive to light shining in its direction, and uses its own lens and eight sensitive cells to process it. House flies have a combined total of 48,000 light-sensitive cells, allowing them to see 100 images per second. In this regard, their vision is ten times superior to the human eye. Two-thirds of the fly\'s brain is devoted purely to sight. The total number of light-sensitive cells means that 48,000 signals are sent here every tenth of a second. Most people think of the fly as one of the most basic forms of life, but its visual system is in fact one of the most complicated we know. Thanks to the flawless design of its eyes, the housefly can look 360 degrees around. At left, a detailed diagram of an ommatidium, of which the fly\'s eye contains some 4,000. A tiny fly did not evolve or mutate its 4,000 eyes over a period a time. Clearly. This is a special creation. Of course, the fly is not composed of merely its visual system-it also has special digestive, reproductive and flight systems. Only with all its systems intact can the fly thrive. It is not possible for a fly to exist, for example, without a digestive or respiratory system. Nor are there any blind insects flying around! This is solid evidence that the fly was created by God in its current state, as mentioned in the Qur\'an: Mankind! An example has been made, so listen to it carefully. Those whom you call upon besides God are not even able to create a single fly, even if they were to join together to do it. And if a fly steals something from them, they cannot get it back. How feeble are both the seeker and the sought! (Qur\'an, 22: 73) An Insect with 56,000 Eyes Among all known species, dragonflies have the greatest number of ommatidia. Each eye contains 30,000 of them,36 which can clearly see objects up to 20 feet away.37 To recap this phenomenon, a single tiny insect has a total of 56,000 eyes, each of which has a lens, retina, and thousands of nerves connecting it to the central nervous system. As a result of this, the dragonfly can see its prey and understand what it is seeing. The presence of just a single eye with a single neuron and the ability to evaluate a single signal is a miracle on its own. But there are thousands of these eyes, all working in complete harmony. This is just another of God\'s countless phenomenon. God is the One Who has no equal in creation. Ultraviolet Vision Butterflies and bees both possess a special sense of sight, allowing them to reach sources of food with ease. In some flowers, the pigments form distinct patterns that are invisible to us, but visible to bees and butterflies, who can see ultraviolet light. Called nectar guides, these patterns are like the landing strips of an airport, directing the insects to the nectar within the flower. It is as if their food sources were lit up and signposted especially for them. To our eyes, the coneflower appears to be a uniformly yellowish orange, but to a bee or butterfly, it appears as a corona of yellow with a glowing ultraviolet bull\'s eye in its center. This pattern guides the bee to where it can collect the nectar or pollen. Bees feed on the pollen produced by plants. The plants, on the other hand, needs the bee to spread their pollen among other flowers of the same species in order to reproduce. Therefore, the flower uses its petals to attract the bee and sticks pollen onto the bee\'s legs as it feeds. Both partners possess the necessary features to enable this collaboration. Imagine a situation wherein flowers continued to reflect in the ultraviolet range, but bees were unable to see that portion of the spectrum. Both species would swiftly go extinct, because the bee would not be able to feed, nor the flower to reproduce. This is proof that these co-dependent organisms were created by the same Creator. Birds For a flying creature, the most important sense is sight, because the miracle of flight would become a very dangerous affair without the ability to see. Birds, therefore, have been blessed by God with a superior sense of sight, in addition to the ability to fly. A bird\'s sense of sight has a wider perspective and can operate much more quickly than a human\'s can. An object or view that we humans have to regard at length, a bird can see as a whole, in one quick glance. Eyes are crucial for the predator owl, which can see ten times more powerfully than humans at night.38 Unlike a human, a bird cannot move its eyes in their sockets. But birds can quickly move their heads and necks around to expand their perspective. Without moving its head, an owl has an 80-degree field of vision. But some species of owl can rotate their heads to up to 360 degrees-a full circle! The visual field of one human eye is 150 degrees laterally, and only 180 degrees binocularly, or a half circle.39 As mentioned already, predators such as the owl have very keen night vision, often six times greater than that of humans. This allows them to perform precisely accurate hunting maneuvers. Larger eyes contain more visual cells, providing better vision. A predator bird can have more than a million visual cells in each of its eyes. At night, owls and similar nocturnal birds can see much better than other species. Looking for food, these predator birds search for small animals on the ground, and their eyes can pick up the slightest movements, thanks to a high number of light-sensitive rods in their retinas. As we explained, the more rod cells, the keener night vision becomes. But for this vision, predator birds do pay a price: They sacrifice the sense of color. They see the world in black and white but, owing to their lifestyle, they do not need to see color. So cone cells are quite fewer in the eyes of nocturnal birds. During the past minute, as you read this book, you blinked 22 times. That\'s how your eyes maintained their moisture and cleanliness. But for that split-second that you blinked, your eyes stopped doing their job. For the relatively sedate lifestyle of a human, this may not be a problem. But for a bird in flight, that split-second may be critical. This is why birds have a third eyelid-a transparent layer that blinks and cleans-without their having to close their outer eyelids. This lid sweeps sideways across the eyeball, starting from the side nearest the beak. For birds that dive underwater, it also acts as goggles, protecting the eye from harm. In a sense, birds have been equipped with goggles and aviator glasses from birth. Although nocturnal birds cannot see color, some smaller birds feed on seeds and insects, and therefore do need to discern colors. The eyes of these smaller birds are placed on either side of the head, which lets them see a wide area with minimal movement of the head and neck. The umbrella birds, also known as black herons, encounter a number of difficulties when they hunt in water. As is well-known, most light reflects off the water-which has a negative effect on the bird\'s ability to see objects under the water\'s surface. The black heron solves this problem by spreading its wings. This cuts the sunlight and any reflections, allowing it to see more clearly and hunt for fish underwater. If the black heron didn\'t use its wings this way, it would be unable to see its food and therefore starve. But seabirds are somehow born knowing the laws of optics, and take the needed precautions accordingly. Could it be that all the seabirds came together to find a practical solution to their problem? Or did they take a mass physics lesson and arrive at a solution by experimenting? Hunting Eyes Eagles fly at an altitude of thousands of meters, in a manner similar to modern war planes, yet are able to comb the landscape below in staggering detail. The eagle can detect even the slightest of movements or color changes while in flight. It owes this ability to a very special eye structure. In humans, the portion of the retina with the most acute vision is the fovea centralis, which has the highest concentration of cone cells. Eagles have two foveae, giving them an incredibly sharp sense of sight. Humans have only one fovea in each eye-for binocular, or forward vision. When we look at an object, both our eyes are directed toward the object. This allows our brain to merge both the images to create a sense of depth. The eagle contains a binocular fovea like ours, but also has a fovea for monocular vision that allows each eye to look sideways and see a separate image. So eagles can see both forward and to the side at the same time.40 The eagle has a visual perspective of some 300 degrees, as well as an extra focusing power. Humans change the shape of their lenses to focus. But an eagle can change the shape of both lens and cornea. This gives it extra focusing power.41 It can also scan a 30,000 hectare (116 square miles) field from an altitude of 4,500 meters (14,700 feet), or spot a camouflaged rabbit from 90 meters (300 feet) with ease.42 To attain this super-sharp vision, an eagle\'s retinal cells are tinted with special colored oil droplets, increasing the contrast for objects seen against the blue sky or green forest. Thanks to this, the eagle can spot minute changes in contrast from thousands of meters above and swoop down to hunt. The fact that a mere drop of oil makes this possible is doubtlessly one of God\'s countless blessings. Flying is a miracle in itself. If one aspect of the present structure or position of a bird\'s wing were changed, it would be unable to fly. Therefore, it isn\'t possible for wings to have evolved over time. As mentioned before, something else that couldn\'t possibly have evolved is the visual system. This is reinforced by the flawless nature of an eagle\'s eye. An eye with two foveae cannot form over time, as a result of coincidences. That second fovea was deliberately created to answer the bird\'s needs. For an eagle, that droplet of oil in its retina cells is of staggering importance... But who made this fine optical adjustment? Did the eagle add the oil himself, or on other animals\' recommendation? Of course not. The eagles have enjoyed this feature from birth, for thousands of years. So why are our eyes not as sharp as an eagle\'s? If human eyes contained the same features, they\'d each be the size of a grapefruit. Moreover, humans don\'t need to spot a camouflaged rabbit from a kilometer away. This is why God gave humans their present eyes in a most aesthetic form. Jumping Spiders Compared to ordinary spiders, the jumping spider leads a very unusual life. Rather than make a web and wait for a catch, these spiders hunt their prey instead. This is why-unlike ordinary spiders, which are almost blind-they have exceptionally acute vision. A jumping spider hunts by securing itself to the branch of a tree with the thread it secretes. Then it throws itself toward an insect flying nearby, catching it in midair. In order to snare its catch, the spider needs to see its prey, and determine the direction and speed at which the target is traveling. Also, of course, it must determine its own speed and the duration of the leap. In order to do all this, the spider needs not only an advanced visual system, but an information processing center to make all the necessary calculations. Jumping spiders have four pairs of eyes, for a total of eight. The front two are the most impressive, perhaps the best eyes one can find in any arthropod. The retina inside the eye can move in three dimensions, enabling the spider to look in all directions and focus on its subject. The other six eyes are positioned around the head, affording 360-degree vision.43 The jumping spider\'s visual acuity is actually very similar to our own, such that they even perceive images on a television screen. When most animals look at a television, they see only a series of moving dots. But research has indicated that jumping spiders respond to televised pictures of other spiders and insects. The jumping spider\'s visual system is highly complex and, in some respects, surpasses even a human\'s. A tiny spider can look in different directions, detect motions, and estimate speed and distance. Of course, the spider never asked for these abilities, nor did it develop them on its own, over time. Everything the spider possesses was given to him by God. The Protection of Animal Eyes As the body\'s most sensitive organs, the eyes must therefore be well protected. This is why animal skulls have been constructed in such a way as to provide their eyes with maximum protection. In animals like cats and dogs, the majority of the eye lies inside the skull, with only a small portion protruding outside. The bones surrounding the eye effectively act as a shield against impacts, and the eyelids help protect against direct injury. The eyes of a camel-a mammal that lives under incredibly harsh conditions-are provided with the protection they need. The bone structure around its eye not only protects it from impacts, but also from harsh sunrays. Not even violent sandstorms can harm a camel\'s eyes, thanks to its eyelashes, which are long and intertwined, preventing any dust from entering.

Sea turtles generally feed on fish. In the process, they also consume a large quantity of sea salt, which could be unhealthy if they digested it. Rather then simply eject salt from the body, the turtle transfers it to special sacs located on to the side of its eyes. Here, the salt is cleverly recycled and used to produce tears.46 Octopus Eyes Of all the invertebrates, the octopus has one of the most complex eye structures.

This layer is also the reason why cat eyes seem to glow when a flashlight beam is shined directly at them. Cat eyelids are prized wide open at night, allowing as much light as possible to enter. Another reason why cats can see so well in the dark is because their retinas contain more rod cells than cone cells. Thanks to this system created by God, wild cats can comfortably hunt at night.
