S.T.R .</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance)</span><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.)</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this...</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;">STROKE IDENTIFICATION:</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.</span><span style="font-family: verdana;">The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions :</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">S * Ask the individual to SMILE ..</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today').</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS .</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke</span><br /></div>Raghavendra K Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00556039404631577217noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351740795716049467.post-63032245438902510682009-10-25T05:20:00.000-07:002009-10-25T05:36:39.154-07:00Water requirement for the human body<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">How much water do we need for the body ?</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Well the answer for this depends entirely on the weight of your body.<br />I am trying to collate some useful information which I have found across...</span><br /></div><table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 680px; text-align: left; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; height: 561px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"><td colspan="9" rowspan="5" class="xl63" style="height: 90pt; width: 483pt;" width="643" height="120"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Water is an important structural component of skin cartilage, tissues and organs. For human beings, every part of the body is dependent on water. Our body comprises about 75% water: the brain has 85%, blood is 90%, muscles are 75%, kidney is 82% and bones are 22% water. The functions of our glands and organs will eventually deteriorate if they are not nourished with good, clean water</span>.<br /></div><br /><table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 679px; height: 433px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 48pt;" width="64"> <col style="width: 59pt;" width="78"> <col style="width: 88pt;" width="117"> <col style="width: 48pt;" width="64" span="6"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> <td colspan="9" rowspan="7" class="xl65" style="height: 154.5pt; width: 483pt;" width="643" height="206"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The average adult loses about 2.5 litres water daily through perspiration, breathing and elimination. Symptoms of the body's deterioration begins to appear when the body loses 5% of its total water volume. In a healthy adult, this is seen as fatigue and general discomfort, whereas for an infant, it can be dehydrating. In an elderly person, a 5% water loss causes the body chemistry to become abnormal, especially if the percentage of electrolytes is overbalanced with sodium.One can usually see symptoms of aging, such as wrinkles, lethargy and even disorientation. Continuous water loss over time will speed up aging as well as increase risks of diseases.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 672px; height: 147px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 48pt;" width="64"> <col style="width: 59pt;" width="78"> <col style="width: 88pt;" width="117"> <col style="width: 48pt;" width="64" span="6"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt; font-family: verdana;" height="17"> <td colspan="9" rowspan="6" class="xl65" style="height: 113.25pt; width: 483pt; text-align: justify;" width="643" height="151">If your body is not sufficiently hydrated, the cells will draw water from your bloodstream, which will make your heart work harder. At the same time, the kidneys cannot purify blood effectively. When this happens, some of the kidney's workload is passed on to the liver and other organs, which may cause them to be severely stressed. Additionally, you may develop a number of minor health conditions such as constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nosebleeds, urinary tract infection, coughs, sneezing, sinus pressure, and headaches.</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> </tr> <tr style="height: 12.75pt;" height="17"> </tr> <tr style="height: 49.5pt;" height="66"> </tr> </tbody></table> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 673px; height: 68px;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 48pt;" width="64"> <col style="width: 59pt;" width="78"> <col style="width: 88pt;" width="117"> <col style="width: 48pt;" width="64" span="6"> <tbody><tr style="height: 12.75pt; font-family: verdana;" height="17"> <td colspan="9" rowspan="3" class="xl65" style="height: 51pt; width: 483pt; text-align: justify;" width="643" height="68">So, how much water is enough for you?

A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.<br /><br />Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.<br /><br />But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEHHsoCk3nCCV5lNyKZ0J2KdDFAn7pt89L4ehxooRXL97CKeBi7opNKCUk8hp5LUnkN4rNbEDKPInwnGU76vemmSYyIKiExkdbZnyFOSiONJkfVlYkNMP7jhhq-bRTinOezyQzd0zepis/s1600-h/image007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEHHsoCk3nCCV5lNyKZ0J2KdDFAn7pt89L4ehxooRXL97CKeBi7opNKCUk8hp5LUnkN4rNbEDKPInwnGU76vemmSYyIKiExkdbZnyFOSiONJkfVlYkNMP7jhhq-bRTinOezyQzd0zepis/s400/image007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342020236627293938" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Depression:</span> According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PMS:</span> Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anemia:</span> High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blood Pressure:</span> This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Brain Power:</span> 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Constipation:</span> High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hangovers:</span> One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Heartburn:</span> Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPI1okzogSODDjt74_VH_U26MD7ynS54DTETnnmotUNlTiYflotAjbXTdemjBellQK77cGh0qckYT_HLkTDJ_7iXhzJ1OOKTzztSoTo6dczXa6zXE8FQ7PjltACfCY-xQWssgFpjKLFzY/s1600-h/image005.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPI1okzogSODDjt74_VH_U26MD7ynS54DTETnnmotUNlTiYflotAjbXTdemjBellQK77cGh0qckYT_HLkTDJ_7iXhzJ1OOKTzztSoTo6dczXa6zXE8FQ7PjltACfCY-xQWssgFpjKLFzY/s400/image005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342020235806974786" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Morning Sickness:</span> Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mosquito bites:</span> Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Nerves:</span> Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ulcers:</span> The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Temperature control:</span> Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.<br /><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Yo614X4HP-rtV2jKHeqQnW13X_HoBZ3I6Fo7d6ylgMbcMA_Mt9cNriRt2JX2GG7aQnqZ3iWdkrriw5Ng63yG2DvfPUyiMu43oYm4t6nF36Y7FjOB-on1Ksuov-ohFL-8DdtMTnh-qbU/s1600-h/image004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 208px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Yo614X4HP-rtV2jKHeqQnW13X_HoBZ3I6Fo7d6ylgMbcMA_Mt9cNriRt2JX2GG7aQnqZ3iWdkrriw5Ng63yG2DvfPUyiMu43oYm4t6nF36Y7FjOB-on1Ksuov-ohFL-8DdtMTnh-qbU/s400/image004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342020231088651922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):</span> Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Smoking &Tobacco Use:</span> Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking.. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Stress:</span> Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels.. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack..<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Strokes:</span> According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Warts:</span> Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, <span style="font-weight: bold;">"A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"</span></span>Raghavendra K Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00556039404631577217noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351740795716049467.post-46715357516100453612009-03-01T00:47:00.000-08:002009-03-01T01:21:46.480-08:00Fantastic Natural Phenomena<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />The classical natural wonders are huge and hard to miss - vast canyons, giant mountains and the like. Many of the most fantastic natural phenomena, however, are also least easy to spot. Some are incredibly rare while others are located in hard-to-reach parts of the planet.

As a result of this rotation, other pieces of ice and flotsam wear relatively evenly at the edges of the ice until it slowly forms into an essentially ideal circle. Ice circles have been seen with diameters of over 500 feet and can also at times be found in clusters and groups at different sizes as shown above</span>.<br /></div><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;">4.

While some of these can be relatively harmless, others can be harbingers of deadly toxins that cause the deaths of fish, birds and marine mammals. In some cases, even humans have been harmed by red tides though no human exposure are known to have been fatal. While they can be fatal, the constituent phytoplankton in ride tides are not harmful in small numbers.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5.

They can be hundreds of feet deep and while divers are able to explore some of them they are largely devoid of oxygen that would support sea life due to poor water circulation - leaving them eerily empty. Some blue holes, however, contain ancient fossil remains that have been discovered, preserved in their depths.</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6.

One of the most famous such examples is the Giant's Causeway on the coast of Ireland (shown above) though the largest and most widely recognized would be Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Basalt also forms different but equally fascinating ways when eruptions are exposed to air or water.</span><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; font-weight: bold;"><br />7.

Rocks weighing up to hundreds of pounds have been known to move up to hundreds of yards at a time. Some scientists have proposed that a combination of strong winds and surface ice account for these movements. However, this theory does not explain evidence of different rocks starting side by side and moving at different rates and in disparate directions. Moreover, the physics calculations do not fully support this theory as wind speeds of hundreds of miles per hour would be needed to move some of the stones.</span><br /></div>Raghavendra K

centuries.<br /><br />The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed "Stingy Jack." According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn't want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.<br /><br />Jack eventually freed the Devil, under the condition that he would not bother Jack for one year and that, should Jack die, he would not claim his soul. The next year, Jack again tricked the Devil into climbing into a tree to pick a piece of fruit. While he was up in the tree, Jack carved a sign of the cross into the tree's bark so that the Devil could not come down until the Devil promised Jack not to bother him for ten more years.<br /><br />Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as "Jack of the Lantern," and then, simply "Jack O'Lantern."<br /><br />People not wanting to be visited by these ghosts would set food and treats out to appease the roaming spirits and began to make their own versions of Jack's lanterns by carving scary faces into turnips or potatoes and placing them into windows or near doors to frighten away Stingy Jack and other wandering evil spirits.<br /><br />In England, large beets are used. Immigrants from these countries brought the jack-o'-lantern tradition with them when they came to the United States. They soon found that pumpkins, a fruit native to America, make perfect jack-o'-lanterns. They were softer and easier to carve than the turnips and potatoes of their homeland.<br /></span></span>Raghavendra K Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00556039404631577217noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351740795716049467.post-79040903769402136952008-12-11T01:09:00.000-08:002008-12-11T01:16:12.897-08:00A new inspirational movie from simple thruths<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Creating a flash movie could be a simple task but to add creative thinking to the work that is being done is not everyones cup of tea.

He died just 1.5km from the spot where his brother was killed. “This is simply a historic coincidence. Although the road is a busy one, accidents don’t occur every day,” police officer Marja-Leena Huhtala told Reuters. “It made my hair stand on end when I heard the two were brothers, and identical twins at that.

While she was telling me this dream I sat with my back to the closed window. Suddenly I heard a noise behind me, like a gentle tapping. I turned round and saw a flying insect knocking against the windowpane from outside. I opened the window and caught the creature in the air as it flew in. It was the nearest analogy to the golden scarab that one finds in our latitudes, a scarabaeid beetle, the common rose-chafer (Cetonia aurata) which contrary to its usual habits had evidently felt an urge to get into a dark room at this particular moment.

But can everyone afford to buy it from blood banks when it is required on a regular basis ?<br /><br />Well I believe its not possible. As a human being we believe in helping others with the best possible way we can. Donating blood is one such social activity if we can afford to do it. Any social cause which is meant for the welfare of the society we live in should be wholeheartedly supported. I came across this website which contains the database of interested donors who volunteer to donate blood <a href="http://www.friendstosupport.org/">http://www.friendstosupport.org/</a><br /><br />This database contains the list of people who have volunteered to donate blood anytime and can be contacted directly on their phone with a simple search in this website.<br /><br />Lets find it out with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh Susarla</span> the chief Advisor and <a href="http://www.friendstosupport.org/inner/peoplebehind/founders.aspx">founder</a> of this website regarding what motivated him and what it take to maintain this database which is meant for all our needs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. What inspired you to start this social cause</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh</span>:Five students of Narsaraopet Engineering College began this website when they got number of calls from people for blood donation frequently. They used to maintain a list of their friends physically to provide information about voluntary donors. Later they thought they could build a website on which they were getting trained. I joined them three months later and my motivation was the suffering we had to undergo for arranging A - ve blood for my aunt at Hyderabad NIMS<br /><br />She was down with lukemia and at the end she needed almost one unit every three days. I am myself A -ve and donated thrice to her. I used to send pager messages and ask people to contact me at my residence No. and then take them to the blood bank in NIMS during 1998-99.That give me a realistic picture of how grave the situation was. So I also decided to do some social work in this regard by spending some of my salary savings in this form.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Do you take any sponsorship ?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh:</span> we do not take any advertisement or sponsorship from people for this activity<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Does your group conduct any blood donation camps ?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh: </span>We do not organise blood donation camps. We are against mega blood donation camps as they lead to wastage of a lot of blood.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. How does the friendstosupport database work out for the needy?<br />Ramesh: </span>Ours is only a blood donors information service or you can call it as a registry of Blood Donors all over India with every district and Assembly constituency wise. All the 17 blood groups including sub-groups are divided for the sake of voluntary donors contact information like normal address, e-mail address, contact phone Nos. age sex etc. Our database works as a catalyst between the needy and the search for a donor becomes very easy for the needy and we have created a platform for both of them to come together.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. How do you spread the information about this database to the common man ?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh:</span> we do not have any ground level organisation. But only volunteers like you who wish to spread the concept and help people get helped in case of need. we only organise awareness camps and programmes to help poeple know that such a facility is available and that they could register themselves as Voluntary donors to help others.<br /><br />Recently we organised essay competition online and elocution competition for college students of Acharya Nagarjuna University and on December 1st 2008 we are organising one for all Pharmacy students.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">6. How long has this journey been since you started this cause ?<br />Ramesh: </span>We completed 3 years on November 14, 2008. We are also supporting six meritorious poor students in their studies with our own funds.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />7.How do you raise funds for maintaining this database ?<br />Ramesh: </span>We pool up money from among the core group of seven members from our own salary savings. we do not take up any fund-raising exercise - that is our first principle.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">8. Who maintains website and organizes events ?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh: </span>Web hosting, designing is done by our own members who are good at it and designing the events and organizing them is done by me. I also keep writing pamphlets or other literature for spreading awareness. We also got National Award "Manthan Award' for best Website using digital information for development of society from Department of Information Technology Government of India and UNDP During November 2007.<br /><br />We have volunteer groups in Pune, Bangalore, Dlehi and Chennai who also keep organizing some program or other even at Hyderabad.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">9. Do you guys work full time for this or its time dedicated after the individual professions ?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ramesh: </span>Yes, it is done during our spare time. None of us work full time for this nor do we have any employee for this. We believe in taking all people along with us and they also should get a feeling that it is theirs (F2S) and we do not monopolize on it, but just keep a track of goings on so that it does not wayward or gets misused. Open-end and free information on Blood Donors for entire India is our dream and we desire to end the monopoly of some blood banks or hospital on information of blood donors.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10.What is the average number of people/requests you get through this website for blood ?<br />Ramesh: </span>We have a database of 60,000 voluntary donors on website and we do not get requests as the needy contacts the donor directly - we are only facilitators and none contacts us in any manner except those who know us personally for a personal favour and we do not take up the service of arranging blood donors for needy it is upto them to contact the donors.<br /><br />We run a toll-free Telephonic helpline at Guntur 0863-2351725 which is toll-free in AP and at Regular charges from elsewhere in the country<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">.</span><br /><br />11. Dont you feel that only maintaining website puts restriction in spreading this info of database as the percentage of people who have access to internet is less ?<br />Ramesh: </span>This is for those who do not have access to internet at remote places<br />but all do not need acceess to internet if the hospitals and any relative of the needy or the nursing homes or blood banks where the needy approach as the first choice. If these people have access or can just log into it from a public net cafe, which are available even at a remote village,they can help them like his family circle, immediate bosom friends circle.<br /><br />They are the people who usually contact us for any kind of help and even we can help them if they are within our reach. So it is the willingness to help people that is more important and not forwarding mails and SMS seeking blood immediately or informing about a need in some corner of the country.I personally encountered some of these where when I contacted the need was over more than six months ago or a minimum of a week.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Well guys we should truly appreciate the efforts of Mr. Ramesh and his team. Lets join our hands in spreading the word and also by directly or indirectly helping the others.<span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">I would say : What can happen to others can happen to you also. Help others and get helped.</span><br /><br /></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>For more Information on this database <a href="http://www.friendstosupport.org/">click here</a><br />You can also find the FAQ's about this blood donors database in the below link<br /><a href="http://www.friendstosupport.org/inner/news/faqs.aspx">http://www.friendstosupport.org/inner/news/faqs.aspx</a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>Raghavendra K Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00556039404631577217noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6351740795716049467.post-14859015016468470992008-11-24T02:33:00.000-08:002008-11-25T04:51:16.847-08:00Jog Falls - Highest waterfalls in India<span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><br /></span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgKM62yRXQCdHzuSb_i4WHvWQAaoJ7s1msxh3oaV4XHg6qdHreKP90VWRXU8_18s0K6xD2hbKz2q7skOxUPSmLZLKV5T8jTpxrIkbLS_fIFwX_0wleXk5R51oPYxE7AEW3BaA1gedhfU/s1600-h/Jog+Falls.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEgKM62yRXQCdHzuSb_i4WHvWQAaoJ7s1msxh3oaV4XHg6qdHreKP90VWRXU8_18s0K6xD2hbKz2q7skOxUPSmLZLKV5T8jTpxrIkbLS_fIFwX_0wleXk5R51oPYxE7AEW3BaA1gedhfU/s400/Jog+Falls.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272551208726532978" border="0" /></a> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">The <strong>Jog falls</strong> also known as " <strong>jogada gundi</strong> " is one of the highest waterfalls in Asia. Jog falls is nestled in the Western ghats. The drive up the hill is glorious giving a birds eye view of the festile and magical western ghats. It is located in Shimoga District, Karnataka state, southern India. It is set in the wild and unspoilt surroundings. Nature here has not been disturbed for the tourist tappings i.e unneussary constructions and falling of trees. The Sharavati river crashes nearly nine hundred(900) feet down forming four main channels named king, queen ,rocket and roarer.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">The four streams are named in accordance with their perceived trajectories: </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong><br /><br />Raja (King):</strong> Named so because of its apparently ’dignified’ and ’serene’ fall.It falls 250 m below forming a 40 m deep pool.<br /><br /></span> <strong></strong> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Rani (Queen), also called Lady:</strong> The stream has a winding, twisting trajectory, said to resemble the movements of a female dancer<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Roarer:</strong> This stream appears out of a mass of rocks, making a tremendous amount of noise (hence the name). </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong><br /><br />Rocket:</strong> Consists of a large volume of water streaming out of a small opening at a very high speed.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Associated with the waterfall is the nearby Linganamakki dam across the Sharavati river, and the hydro-electric power station that it serves. The dam has led to a reduction of the amount of water reaching the falls during the summer months. During the rainy season (June-October), the floodgates of the dam need to be opened and the waterfall runs full. This is also the main tourist season at the waterfall. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Just after the monsoon season or rainy season the falls are a magnificient and awesome sight to see. At this time the falls are surrounded by mists. The walk to the bottom of the falls for the hale and hearty is recommonded and one can take a dip in the pool created below by the falls, during the dry season. This venture would be impossible during the monsoons as the flow in the falls increase and the mist shrouds these falls. There is dampness everywhere and the vegetation becomes bright green with water drops dripping from the trees.<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>How to reach:</strong> Jog is situated around 32 Km from a small town Sagara, and is 379 Km away from Bangalore.<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Recommended way to reach:</strong> Bangalore to Shimoga by train, Shimoga to Sagara by Non-stop bus and to Jog by bus from Sagar. For those who would like to travel by bus there are direct KSRTC busses from Banagalore to Jog (8.30 Hrs Travel).<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Nearest Railway staion:</strong> Shimoga City<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Nearest Towns:</strong> Sagara, Siddapura, Sirsi.<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Climate:</strong> Jog falls is situated up the cool climes of the Western-Ghats. </span><br /><br /><strong></strong> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Clothings:</strong> Light cool dresses for summer. During the monsoon season the nights are cool. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Warm clothings will be required for the winter months i.e. December to February. </span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong><br /><br />Language:</strong> Kannada is the principal language of this region. Few people also understand English and Hindi. </span><br /><br /><br /></span><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Best Time to visit:</strong> August-November is the best time to visit.<br /><br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Places to Stay:</strong> There are facilities to stay in Jog.<br /><br />(a) The government owned (Karnataka Tourism) "Sharavati Tourist Home" is comfortable clean and reasonble priced. It offers good view of the falls.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><br />(b) Tunga Tourist Home : This is also a cheap and comfortable place to say.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">(c) Inspection Bunglow at Jog falls : This is often heavily booked and its booking can be done at the District Commissioners at Shimoga.<br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">(d) Guest-House near the falls : Reservations has to be done if one plans to stay here, through the Supt. Engineer (Elec.) Mahatma-Gandhi Mydro-electric works Jog Falls.<br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">(e) Jog-falls Guest house : Maintained by the Tourist department. Reservation can be done through its resident manager.<br /></span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">(f) Woodlands : This is another place where one can stay at Jog Falls but is not upto the mark.<br /><br /></span> </span><div style="text-align: left;font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><strong>Other Places of interest:</strong> Honnemarudu, a water adventure centre, is few miles away<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Some of the photos taken at different times of the year:<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTwzYvdgJAHwJIR1NosxmU9rGnKNifNp8gG7-_dQDzaXn6mO5Rur2qZzceheq3YXACNBfT8WRAcJfSYe4mp9lQ4KLhyphenhyphenf649gzy7QfKqbUABy10U1Wy9QoAdgN_0-X_soUAjiGX4WISpu0/s1600-h/jog1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

As a consequence, Mrs Bird, a health spa manager, has transformed her home into an EMF-free zone to try and stay healthy. 'I can no longer do things that I used to take for granted,' Mrs Bird said. "My day-to-day life has been seriously affected by EMF".</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;font-size:100%;" ><b>2.

Exhilaration, anger, fear, surprise, awe and even embarrassment can also cause sufferers to suddenly collapse on the spot.<br /><br />Kay, of Barrow-upon-Soar, Leicestershire (UK), who was diagnosed with the condition five years ago, once collapsed more than 40 times in a single day. She said: "People find it very odd when it happens, and it isn't always easy to cope with strangers' reactions. "<br /><br />Like most cataplexy sufferers, Ms Underwood is also battling narcolepsy - a condition that makes her drop off to sleep without warning. Narcolepsy affects around 30,000 people in the UK and about 70 per cent of them also have cataplexy. </span></span><b><br /></b><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:verdana;">3. </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">The Musician Who Can't Stop Hiccupping</span></span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6EwmdsMxwwwFW6Snmn-6WzY_DoDRVJe00sSLgC4NFuW2Z7Bz31ogomqIkO5O1rQalfxINpRAnYdVB4DajUBYJqkY6COAsctu8csQLBSei3zGtCp-zJ_z-JTu9oRQljbI8ODDklLTbKA/s1600-h/image006.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY6EwmdsMxwwwFW6Snmn-6WzY_DoDRVJe00sSLgC4NFuW2Z7Bz31ogomqIkO5O1rQalfxINpRAnYdVB4DajUBYJqkY6COAsctu8csQLBSei3zGtCp-zJ_z-JTu9oRQljbI8ODDklLTbKA/s400/image006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272098650608418370" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Chris Sands, 24, from Lincoln , hiccups as often as every two seconds - and some</span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">times even when he is asleep.
