Infectious Conjunctivitis - Awareness

 

Sharing a mail from my Company Care Desk for the benefit of Bloggers :)

 

Infectious Conjunctivitis - Awareness Various parts of the country are experiencing an outbreak of infectious conjunctivitis and there are reports that some of those infected are suffering some "corneal involvement". This minor damage to the outer layer of the eye can occur with the more serious types of conjunctivitis, but the condition usually heals over a few days, especially with antibiotic treatment. Medical treatment may be required. The three main causes of epidemic conjunctivitis are adenovirus, coxsackievirus, and enterovirus, although some local doctors are speculating that, because of the severity, a new strain of virus may be responsible for this outbreak. The Condition "Common" conjunctivitis, or "pink eye", is inflammation of the conjunctiva (the lining of the eyelids). The condition can be caused by infection with viruses or bacteria. Other, non-infectious causes include irritants or allergies. Viral conjunctivitis occurs frequently and is self-limiting - which means it disappears on its own without treatment. Symptoms are usually mild. Eyes become red or pink, itchy and watery. There may be a discharge and vision may be blurry. Some infected people become more sensitive to light. Conjunctivitis is sometimes associated with a cold or sore throat. The virus is spread from person to person. You can get the virus directly from another person, or by touching an object that has been contaminated by the virus (including your hands) to your eyes. The disease can also spread through contaminated water, such as in swimming pools. No particular treatment is required. Symptoms disappear in about four days to a week. Cold compresses to the eyes can be used to relieve discomfort. To prevent the disease from spreading, practice good hygiene habits: ·                               Avoid close contact with anyone who is infected. ·                               Wash your hands thoroughly and frequently. ·                               Refrain from touching or rubbing your eyes. ·                               Don’t share personal hygiene / grooming items such as wash cloths or eye make-up.  ·                               Children who are infected should be kept out of school or day care until they have recovered.   ·                                Seek medical attention if symptoms are more than mild, or are persistent. Corneal Involvement symptoms are as follows. Seek Medical help if you have them: ·                               Your eyes are very red and/or swollen   ·                                You have a feeling of "sand" in your eyes   ·                                You cannot tolerate light.

 

Why Global Warming is a hoax?

Global Warming -

the word made rags to rich;
the word that dumped wealth for many people;
the word ditched 6L people by taking off their job;
and yeah! the word that recognized Al Gore as a Nobel Laurrette.

I'm not going to say what is Global Warming and why it is on the news for all these days. You can read a lot of article on that by Googling. I'm here to say, why Global Warming is a Hoax.

There are several reasons for the so called Scietists to claim on GW and one of the important factor is the "human activities". Since they can't prove that other man made stuffs (which are still hazardous to human health in many ways) are causing problem for GW, they landed to something is theoritical and generic in nature.

Why do we say Humans are not responsible for the cause of GW? Check out this website which tabulates all the reasons for GW to be a Hoax. Some of them here for your convinience.

If the Earth was laboring under an accelerated greenhouse effect caused by human produced CO2, the troposphere (the layer of the earth's atmosphere roughly 10-15km above us) should heat up faster than the surface of the planet, but data collected from satellites and weather balloons doesn't support this fundamental presumption.

The human contribution to carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is minimal in comparison to other natural means, including volcanic emmission and CO2 produced by animals, bacteria, decaying vegetation and the ocean. The human "carbon footprint" is vastly outweighed by all of these factors.

It is a pure cheap play of politicians and business tycoons across the globe to back this "Nothing Worth" movement. A desire on the part of climate science researchers to attract financial support. A desire on the part of conservative political leaders including Margaret Thatcher,[19][21] and Helmut Kohl [22] to promote nuclear power while attracting the political support of Green groups.

These would infact lit up fire for more Nuclear Deals (which when something goes wrong will put several lifes in stake) than improving the environmental conditions of the Planet.

Check out the following link on The Great Global Warming Swindle, which will give much more clear picture on this topic.

This is just another fear created by Americans like the Y2K, which is ultimately nothing. Finally 2000 busted the Dot Com companies leading to huge financial crisis around the world. Similar way they are boosting Global Warming, which is a useless analysis that would cause huge loss to the mankind that it is expected by the GW itself.

By Y2K - India got a new avenue for growth, but by GW they are thrashing the growth of African countries which are still under developed (and could be a potential threat to US Industrialization). Americans never do things which are not beneficial for them. And GW is one which would save their *** and help them to build their wealth by suppressing other countries growth. Today it is AFRICA; Tomorrow it might be ASIA?

P.S.: I'm not against Environmental Protection. But I can't go around for something is fake & hoax. If each individual is disciplined by the way he lives, there is no need to panic on anything in this world. GW is a fear created by a group of people for their benefit- better don't fall the trap.

P.S.: This post is NOT against anyone. But against the GW. Its to support the Conspiracy Theory on Global Warming. I'm laying only the facts on this post. Let the readers be the judge. Don't be a cheer leader for something that doesn't exist.

Happy Dussehra

Wishing you all a Happy Dussehra!!

Which side of the Brain are you using?

Almost in every blog this pretty gal appeared. It won't look good if I neglect this little gal in my post :) Experts says she test the way you think. If you are Right Brain oriented she revolves clockwise, else vice-versa.

Now, I always see her rotating clockwise no matter how hard I try to focus on her legs and make her go the other way.

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of
the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

• uses logic


• detail oriented


• facts rule


• words and language


• present and past


• math and science


• can comprehend


• knowing


• acknowledges


• order/pattern perception


• knows object name


• reality based


• forms strategies


• practical


• safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

• uses feeling


• "big picture" oriented


• imagination rules


• symbols and images


• present and future


• philosophy & religion


• can "get it" (i.e. meaning)


• believes


• appreciates


• spatial perception


• knows object function


• fantasy based


• presents possibilities


• impetuous


• risk taking

So which side of the Brain are you using today??

Book Worm

A couple of weeks back, I went to Landmark in Forum Mall to buy a book to present to my niece. I was searching for some good story books that would suit her age (7). Looking at the huge store with thousands of books, I went nostalgic about my childhood book reading.

When I was studying in my 4 std, I was introduced to "Chacha Choudry" comic, that was the first book, I've read apart from my school books. My mom used to lend it from her office collegues, which heavily helped me to while out my times during holidays.

Later we subscribed to Ambulimama which also went long for a year. Gokulum, which we started subcribing at the age of 11 changed my life from Comical to something realistic. Articles & How-to-do stuff in Gokulum where my favourites. During my 10th Summer holidays, I got registered myself to the local library, which upgraded my reading habit from Children Books to Thrillers & Novels. Those where times I used to LIVE at Libraries. I start from my home at 9:30 after my mom leaves to office and will be back at 1pm for lunch and again start at 3 pm and will be there till 7pm. Novels of N C Mohandas, Rajesh Kumar, Pattukottai Prabhakar , Sujatha etc where my life in those periods.

During my 11 std holidays I started buying books from Chennai Book Fair. The Book fair showed the Dangerous man in me. I bought books for Rs.5000 and completed all (nearly 30) books within 3 months of time. Book fair introduced me to various other authors and poets. Only to Desi :)

During my college days, I had little access to books apart from study related. To improve my English Knowledge, one of my friend suggested to read English Novels of Sheldon. Somehow, I never liked the way SS wrote his books. May due to the fact that I need to carry Oxford Dictionary throughout the completion of novel :D

My favourite in English Authors was James Hadley Chase. Again thrillers and nothing more than that. After joining my first Job, I had liberty to spend on books again, which poped up the terror of buying books for Rs.3K at Book fair.

During my Higher Studies, I used to read all kind of books in my College Library. I had a reputation of borrowing all the books at least once from my library and the effective user of the same :) Though I never claimed to read everything.

Now back to start, finally I chose to buy a TinTin Comic book, which was priced almost 10 % of my monthly salary :) Books are getting costly now-a-days !

Public Sunts at its Heights !!!

Today had a chance to see one of the ugliest Public Stunts showcased by a TV channel & Actor. You guessed it right, I'm talking about Jodi No.1 Season 2 telecasted in Vijay TV on which Simbhu is one of the Jury.

Earlier a couple of episode ago there were some ruff & tuff telecasted about the performance of Krithika's Mother on the Judgement. Just because to add some spicy to their show they started telecasting these non-sense. Bloddy this is just a TV Show & Game. You don't have to show anything that happens behind the screens. In case you need, still have a space called Bloopers. Why do you play with the emotions of people out there? The same thing was already taken note from PK's blog post on Airtel Super Singer Junior.

This time it is with someone , who is known to the industry well about his performance and acting. I'm talking about Babloo. Damn, if you don't like the way he danced you can comment on that. But why you are bothered if he is angry on you or not?

Its good to know that you appreciate when people do things well. But who gave you the permission to disgrace when someone did it wrong? Well, if you think that with a few drops from your eyes would settle things well then I'm sorry dude. Its not this way.

I seriously don't understand why the co-participants haven't tried stopping Babloo when he walked out of the stage, while they ran behind Simbhu? Is it because he is a Actor at Silver Screen?? Why this partiality is there?

There are many unanswered questions revolving around. Ultimately its the TV's TRP ratings which would have gone at its peak, due to the promos it had floated around during the past week.
