Right to Emergency Care - Supreme Court

Please see the mail below, it covers the article about which most of us are not aware.

Dear All,

Title: Right to Emergency Care - Supreme Court.

Date of Judgment: 23/02/2007.

Case No.: Appeal (civil) 919 of 2007.

The Supreme Court has ruled that all injured persons especially in the case of road traffic accidents, assaults, etc., when brought to a hospital / medical centre, have to be offered first aid, stabilized and shifted to a higher centre / government centre if required.

It is only after this that the hospital can demand payment or complete police formalities.

In case you are a bystander and wish to help someone in an accident, please go ahead and do so.

Your responsibility ends as soon as you leave the person at the hospital.

The hospital bears the responsibility of informing the police, first aid, etc.

Please do inform your family and friends about these basic rights so that we all know what to expect and what to do in the hour of need.

Can I buy an Hour of ur Time

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old
son waiting for him at the door...

Son: "Daddy, may I ask you a question"

Daddy: "Yeah sure, what it is?"

Son: "Dad, how much do you make an hour"

Daddy: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"

Son: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"

Daddy: "I make Rs. 500 an hour"

"Oh", the little boy replied, with his head down.

Looking up, he said, "Dad, may I please borrow Rs. 300?"

The father was furious,
"if the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money
to buy a silly toy or other nonsense, then march yourself to your room and
go to bed.
Think why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this
childish behavior"

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's
questions.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down,
and started to think:

"May be there was something he really needed to buy with that

Rs. 300 and he really didn't ask for money very often!"

The man went to the door of little boy's room and opened the door.
"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, may be I was too hard on you earlier", said the man,
"It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you.
Here's the Rs.300 you asked for"

The little boy sat straight up, smiling "oh thank you dad!" He yelled.

Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled some crippled up notes.
The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.


"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy I have Rs. 500 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?
Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you"

MORAL It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family....

How sixth sense works......... good one

See How SIXTH SENSE works ...


A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying "God bless Mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma and good-bye grandpa."

The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?"

The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do."

The next day grandpa died.

The father thought it was a strange coincidence.

A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers,
which went like this: "God bless Mommy, God Bless daddy and good-bye grandma."

The next day the grandmother died.

Oh my god, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side.

Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say, "God bless Mommy and good-bye daddy."

He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office.
He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until
midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there,
drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound. Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief
and went home.

When he got home his wife said "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?" He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life."

She said "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened. This morning our neighbour James dropped dead on our porch.

u will cry with laughter after trying this

This is a joke that is really funny and it works!] An old lady walked
into a Grocery Store.
She wanted to buy the best dog food in the world for her little puppy.
She went up to the cash register to buy the food.
The sales-lady told her that the store did not allow old ladies to buy
animal food unless they show the actual animal because a lot of old
ladies like to eat the animal food themselves.
So the old lady went home, got her dog and went back to the store to
buy her dog food.
The next day she came back to buy the best cat food around But the
Saleslady told her the same thing, so the old lady went back home and
brought her cat to the Grocery Store to buy the cat food.
The next day the old lady went to the Grocery Store again carrying a
big container. She went up to the sales lady and said, "Put your hand
inside here". The Saleslady shook her head. "NO", she said, "there is
probably something in there that will bite me!" "I promise you that there
is nothing in here that will bite you". the old lady said. So the
Saleslady stuck her hand inside the container and screamed.
To find out what was inside the container you must send this to at
least 10 people, when it says, your mail has been sent...instead of
clicking OK, hit ALT-8 and the container will pop up on your screen

celebration means

We make them cry who care for us ..
We cry for those who never care for us...
And we care for those who will never cry for us...

Once this truth is realized , its never too late to change.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as
though we are worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose
your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

' VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED '

Tommy Hilfiger INSULTED INDIANS

I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey
show in Chicago where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she
asked
him if the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.

Statements like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish,
INDIAN
and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I
wish these people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for
upper
class white people."

His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES".

Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.

A suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.

Let him get what he asked for.
Let's not buy his clothes, let's put him in a financial state where he
himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his
clothes.

BOYCOTT. PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW.


If we are small, then send it to the whole community and see the
result.
We have to see the result of unity. Stop buying all range of Hillfiger
products, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags etc

situation.

A woman at a Gas nightclub (Mumbai) on Saturday night was taken by 5
men,Who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before
Dumping her at Bandstand Mumbai. Unable to remember the events of the
evening, tests later confirmed the
repeat rapes along with traces of rohypnol in her
blood.

Rohypnol, date rape drug is an essentially a small
sterilization pill.

The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize
their victims. All they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink.
The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had
Taken place the night before. Rohypnol, which dissolves in drinks just
as easily, is such that the
victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry
about having a paternity test
identifying him months later.

The Drug's affects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - they are PERMANENT. Any female
that takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this
drug from
anyone who is in the vet school or any university. it's that easy, and
Rohypnol is about to break out b ig on campuses everywhere.

Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people
how to use it. Please forward
this to everyone you know, especially girls.

Girls, becareful when you're out and don't leave your
drink unattended.

(added - Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are
Unopened or sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink)There was
already been a report in Singapore of girls

Please make the effort to forward this to everyone you
know.

For guys - Pls inform all your female friends and
relatives.

others is your gift to God"

Three contractors . . . One from India, another from Germany and the third from England are bidding to repair the White House fence. A senior White House official takes them to examine it.
The English contractor : takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works on some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the job will cost $900 . . . $400 for materials, $400 for labour and $100 profit for me."
The German contractor : also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for $700 . . . $300 for materials, $300 for my crew and $100 profit for me."
The Indian contractor doesn't measure or do any figuring, but leans over to the White House official and whispers: "$2,700."
The official incredulously says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"
"Easy," the Indian explains, "$1,000 for you, $1,000 for me and we hire the guy from Germany to do the work!"
Guess who got the contract........................!!

Just 3 Words

J ust 3 Words

There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships.
Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words.
When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop new
friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships that
have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

1. Let me help
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it. When they see a hurt they
do what they can to heal it. Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

2. I understand you.
People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person accepts
and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways - that
you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship.
And this can apply to any relationship.

3. I respect you
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that another
person is a true equal. If you talk to your children as if they were
adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends. This
applies to all interpersonal relationships.

4. I miss you.
Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply
and sincerely said to each other "I miss you." This powerful affirmation
tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved. Consider how
important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call from
your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say "I miss you."

5. Maybe you're right.
This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument. The implication
when you say "maybe you're right" is the humility of admitting, "maybe I'm
wrong". Let's face it. When you have an argument with someone, all you
normally do is solidify the other person's point of view. They, or you,
will not likely change their position and you run the risk of seriously
damaging the relationship between you. Saying "maybe you're right" can
open the door to explore the subject more. You may then have the
opportunity to express your view in a way that is understandable to the
other person.

6. Please forgive me
Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would
admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to
faults, foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that
he has been in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is
wiser today than he was yesterday.

7. I thank you.
Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy. People who enjoy the
companionship of good, close friends are those who don't take daily
courtesies for granted. They are quick to thank their friends for
their many expressions of kindness. On the other hand, people whose
circle of friends is severely constricted often do not have the attitude
of gratitude.

8. Count on me
A friend is one who walks in when others walk out. Loyalty is an essential
ingredient for true friendship. It is the emotional glue that bonds
people. Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and
true friends. When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating "you
can count on me."

9. I'll be there
If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night, to take a
sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down some miles from
home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase "I'll be there."
Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give. When
we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and
us. We are renewed in love and friendship. We are restored emotionally
and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.

10. Go for it
We are all unique individuals. Don't try to get your friends to conform to
your ideals. Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far
out they seem to you. God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are
unique to that person only. Support and encourage your friends to follow
their dreams. Tell them to "go for it."

B o n u s : 11. I love you
Perhaps the most important three words that you can say. Telling someone
that you truly love them satisfies a person's deepest emotional needs.
The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse,
your children, your friends and you, all need to hear those three little
words: "I love you." Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling
is gone.

This happened in a Mega mall in GURGAON

LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones!
To the women : remember this!

About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began to change the flat.
A nice man dressed in business suit and carrying a briefcase walked up to her and said, "I notice you're changing a flat tire.Would you like me to take care of it for you?"
The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off.

The woman thanked him profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would mind giving him a lift to his car.

She was a little surprised and asked him why his car was on other side.

He explained that he had seen an old friend in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat and visited for a while;he got t urned around in the mall and left through the wrong exit,and now he was running late and his car was clear around on the other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her from having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy.

Then she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she just remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be few minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as quick as she could be.

She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard what had happened;the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape and knives.

When the police checked her "flat" tire, there was nothing wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the man's motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had a baby strapped into a car seat.

Or if she'd gone against her judgment and given him a lift.

A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on to them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it....

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!

JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!

Pass this long to every woman you have access to. Never let your guard down.

SOMETIMES, THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT IS THE VOICE OF GOD. TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!

In fact, many conversation disasters can be avoided if one thinks before dialling. So if you are thinking of making that phone call, here are some tips that might help make a simple phone number your lucky number.

1. Short and sweet:

It is important to give the impression that you lead a full, active life even though you might be otherwise unemployed. By keeping your initial telephone conversations brief, you will give the person the impression that you are busy and in demand. Also, if you are always the one ending the conversations, it will keep you in a position of control, leaving them wanting more and more of your time.

2. Leave them high:

People usually remember what you say last. Therefore, its important that you prepare well for the ending conversation. Before ending the conversation, make an effort to leave on a positive note, such as with a well thought-out joke or a funny story. Even if your entire telephone conversation went poorly, if you leave them smiling before saying goodbye, they are more likely to want to speak to you again and hopefully see you in person which, of course, is your ultimate goal.

3. Add Purpose:

Don't just call to chitchat. Remember the three things you need to do before making that call: preparation, preparation, preparation. Be armed and ready with a purpose to your call (the most likely purpose being to meet up); this will give them the impression that you are assertive (this one is especially for you women) and thoughtful enough to think of a plan beforehand. This plan will also serve as a backup weapon should there be an awkward silence in the conversation.

4. Be Positive:

It doesn't matter if your boss is disrespectful or your co-worker is incompetent complaints are a real turnoff, especially in the early stages of a relationship. Once in a while is ok, but the truth is that they probably won't stick around if you're all about gloom and negativity. You can avoid looking needy by keeping your emotional baggage to yourself, at least at the beginning. Make a concerted effort to keep all conversations positive.

5. Leave a message only on the second call:

You should avoid leaving a message on the first call; it may make you seem too needy. This is the most important rule and should not be tampered with: If the person doesn't answer your first call, hang up without leaving a message and try again later. Upon the second phone call, leave a message, and don't call again until they get back to you. By not calling more than twice, you not only avoid the appearance of desperation, but you also throw the ball into their court and get the chance to gauge their interest in you.

6. Time your call well:

Phone calls during working hours are a complete no-no. If you take time off from work to call them, they'll know you have them on your mind. Also, they might not be as receptive to your phone call in the midst of coworkers and bosses. If you'd like to set up a date for the weekend, call by Wednesday. Avoid Friday and Saturday night phone calls at all costs; even if you are at home watching a movie by yourself. They don't need to know that.

7. Stick to the point when leaving messages:

Don't leave long, rambling messages on their voicemail. Picture this: Every message you leave on their voicemail could potentially be played back and analysed several times over. The contents can then become the subject of discussion with their friends. Therefore, your best defense against a disastrous message is briefness. Identify yourself by name, then get to the point. Leave one phone number where you can be reached, but don't leave your contact number, address, e-mail and so on this will just seem too desperate.

DirectX 10 Booms Up Performance For "Lost planet"

"Lost planet" the first game to support DirectX 10. The new GPU performance looks same as case of DX9. DX10 image quality is better and this driver is upgraded in Vista. After long waiting the new PC video game "Lost planet"is released which support DirectX 10.Lost Planet is Pc game which run with DirectX10 support. Lost Planet’s mainly designed for Xbox 360 but works quite well over for PC and makes PC gamers quite happy. "Lost planet" need many upgrades, to make to the PC version of the game mainly the DX10 support.The graphic upgrades requiring Xbox to PC version of the game includes resolution support to 2560x1600at max, better shadow quality, image-based ambient occlusion, parallax occlusion normal mapping, higher detail textures, the use of vertex texture fetch for the animation system and depth buffer reads improved for soft particles. DirectX 10 allows a shadow setting more accurately and give soft and good shadows quality. Good shadow quality make the edges of shadow soft and smoothly fade out without damaging texture of game.This game support DX9 mode or DX10 mode and allows us to easily run it in DX9 mode or DX10 mode it is fairly simple to make performance and image quality changes and comparisons of those changes. The goals of this article are to see how GPUs scale in performance in this game both in DX9 and DX10 mode, and we are also going to examine image quality between DX9 and DX10 modes with the quality settings and other eye candy at its highest settings. Quite simply, we want to see what DX10 delivers in this early native DX10 title. Also, a lot of readers have been curious to know if the likes of the 320 MB GeForce 8800 GTS and Radeon HD 2900 XT will be powerful enough for DX10 and we will find out.Testing will be done a bit differently for this article since we are exploring specific DX10 gaming impacts in Lost Planet rather than comparing what sort of gaming experience a specific video card delivers in a wide a range of games. We are going to keep the in-game settings and resolution and AA/AF at the same levels and compare in an “Apples-to-Apples” manor. This is being done so that we can see how GPU performance scales. Then we will compare the highest-playable settings with an included table of all the video cards tested here comparing DX9 and DX10 performance. We will then dive into image quality comparisons.

10 lifestyle mantras to beat hair LOSS

We all want lustrous, healthy-looking hair. And we spend a pretty packet on trying to get it.

But most of us miss out on the basics -- like a good diet, a simple but effective daily hair regime and son on. Hence we experience hair conditions like dandruff and hair fall.

Trichologists Dr Apoorva Shah and Dr Sonal Shah, who have trained at the Institute of Trichology in London, are certified hair specialists advisors from the International Association of Trichologists, Australia, offer a few tips.

The husband and wife duo are also the official hair advisors for the Miss India contest.

Their mantras:

~i. Eat lots of paneer , spinach (palak ), green veggies and milk.

~ii. Regularly oil and shampoo your hair. That's a must at least three times a week, to nourish your scalp. Applied oil must be washed within 24 hours or else it could mix with dust and clog the pores.

~iii. If you are allergic to oil then try to use medicated oil. Or else go in for a potion or hair tonic which has no component of oil. These too can nourish your scalp. They are also known as hair vitalisers.

~iv. Henna is also a good scalp conditioner, but not a good hair conditioner as it tends to make the hair dry and brittle. Hence you must use oil after washing off the henna, before shampooing.

~v. Washing your hair after a session of rigorous exercise like gymming, jogging etc when the scalp tends to sweat a lot is a must.

~vi. Once in a while chemical treatments like perming, chemical straightening etc are alright, but too much of it causes breakage of hair.

~vii. Another reason for hair getting damaged is heat exposure to the hair and scalp, with a blow-dryer, hot oil or hot water and usings combs with sharp teeth.

~viii. Never comb your hair when it is wet. Towel drying is the best way to dry your hair.

Why does hair fall?

Lack of hair oil, acute illness, dandruff, emotional shock or stress, thyroid problems, nutritional deficiency and hair colouring, sans the correct regime to go with it.

Of these, stress is a major cause of hair loss and baldness, in India and this condition is called Alopecia areata

ix) The cure for this is simple -- learn to live a relaxed life through regular meditation, occasional massages, music, yoga and prayers, which are all excellent stress busters.

x) Last but not the least, good hair is the barometer of good health, so practice these mantras and let your hair shine.


"We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge. People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever."

BEWARE OF THESE ORGANISATIONS

BEWARE OF THESE BANKS
Looking at the rising complaints against ICICI Bank, Citibank, and Standard Chartered Bank, we request consumers to properly read their documents and keep a record when dealing with these banks, especially regarding credit card and housing loan. These three banks are biggest defaulters and do not resolve consumer problems easily. Be aware of their terms in writing. Keep a perfect record of all correspondence with them. If they do not agree to written communication, immediately stop their services.
BEWARE OF NOKIA
Nokia assures that their handset is covered under insurance. They even provide a certificate of insurance. But the condition is that if the handset is lost/stolen, you have to lodge an FIR to seek claims. The catch here is that the police station does not lodge FIR for loss of handsets, they only register NC. So you will never get insurance claims on basis of NC.
Nokia is selling some of its degraded products that have software problems. If you come across such problem in a new set, do not waste your time in running around service centres as it is not going to help much, ask for a replacement with a new set.
DO NOT BUY NOKIA 6260

BEWARE OF AIR DECCAN
Their confirmed bookings are highly unreliable and of no guarantee that u will be allowed to fly. The booked tickets get cancelled without intimation to consumer only to be known by him when he goes to the airport to catch his flight.

BEWARE OF COUNTRY CLUB, BANGALORE
They advertise that if you take their membership, a plot of land will be given free of cost near Golden Spa at Coconut Grove. Please note Golden Spa is 35 Kns from Bangalore and the said plot of land is over 100 Kms from Bangalore. Based on false promises and with arrangement with Citibank and ICICI Bank, this team cheats the consumers of his money by asking payments through credit card.

BOOK TELESALES & RECOVERY AGENTS
If you receive unwanted advertisement / telemarketing call from any company or recovery agents. Ask their telephone number and report to the police. File a police complaint against the Chairman of the company.

BEWARE OF TATAINDICOM BROADBAND
Their promises to get you a broadband connection within a week is not to be relied upon. Once your money is stuck (about Rs. 2000), it takes lot of pains to recover it back.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No BreakfastPeople who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.2. OvereatingIt causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease inmental power.3. SmokingIt causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumptionToo much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrientscausing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.5. Air PollutionThe brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringingabout a decrease in brain efficiency.6. Sleep DeprivationSleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep willaccelerate the death of brain cells. 7. Head covered while sleepingSleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbondioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to braindamaging effects.8. Working your brain during illness Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease ineffectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.9. Lacking in stimulating thoughtsThinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.10. Talking RarelyIntellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The main causes of liver damage are:1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are main cause.2. Not urinating in the morning.3. Too much eating.4. Skipping breakfast.5. Consuming too much medication. 6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, andartificial sweetener.7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cookingoil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except ifthe body is very fit.8. Consuming raw (overly done) foods also add to the burden of liver.Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just haveto adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining goodeating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."Because:Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxicchemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music.If during this time a housewife is still in an unrelaxed state such aswashing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, thiswill have a negative impact on health.Evening at 11pm - 1am: is the detoxification process in the liver, andideally should be done in a deep sleep state.Early morning 1 - 3am: detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.Early morning 3 - 5am: detoxification in the lungs. Therefore therewill sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time.Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere withtoxin removal process.Morning 5 - 7am: detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.Morning 7 - 9am: absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier,before 6:30am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is verybeneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skipbreakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10am rather than no meal at all.Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process ofremoving unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 amis the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.Back to top

LIFE:Good one

L I F E E x p l a i n e d
On the first day God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years."The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten." So God agreed.
On the second day God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span."The monkey said, "How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?" And God agreed.
On the third day God created the cow. God said, "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty." And God agreed again.
On the forth day God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."

Man said, "What? Only twenty years! Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"
"Okay," said God, "You've go t a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren; and for next ten years we sit o n the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you :-)

Superb Communication - Too too good

Programmer to Team Leader: "We can't do this proposed project. **CAN NOT**. It will involve a major design change and no one in our team knows the design of this legacy system. And above that, nobody in our company knows the language in which thisapplication has been written. So even if somebody wants to work on it, they can't. If you ask my personal opinion, the company should never take these type of projects."Team Leader to Project Manager :"This project will involve a design change. Currently, we don't have any staff that has experience in this type of work. Also, the language isunfamiliar to us, so we will have to arrange for some training if we take this project. In my personal opinion, we are not ready to take on a project of this nature."Project Manager to 1st Level Manager : "This project involves a design change in the system and we don't have muchexperience in that area. Also, not many people in our company are appropriately trained for it. In my personal opinion, we might be able to dothe project but we would need more time than usual to complete it." 1st Level Manager to Senior Level Manager :"This project involves design re-engineering. We have some people who haveworked in this area and others who know the implementation language. So they can train other people. In my personal opinion we should take this project, but with caution."Senior Level Manager to CEO :"This project will demonstrate to the industry our capabilities in remodeling the design of a complete legacy system. We have all the necessaryskills and people to execute this project successfully. Some people havealready given in house training in this area to other staff members. In my personal opinion, we should not let this project slip by us under anycircumstances."CEO to Client :"This is the type of project in which our company specializes. We have executed many projects of the same nature for many large clients. Trust mewhen I say that we are the most competent firm in the industry for doing this kind of work. It is my personal opinion that we can execute this project successfully and well within the given time frame.

Good Joke!!!! Student Vs Professor

After having failed his exam in "Logistics and Organization", a student goes and confronts his lecturer about it.
Student: "Sir, do you really understand anything about the subject?"Professor: "Surely I must. Otherwise I would not be a professor!"Student: "Great, well then I would like to ask you a question.If you can give me the correct answer, I will accept my mark as is and go. If you however do not know the answer, I want you give me an "A" for the exam. "Professor: "Okay, it's a deal. So what is the question?"Student: "What is legal, but not logical, logical, but not legal, and neither logical, nor legal?"Even after some long and hard consideration, the professor cannot give the student an answer, and therefore changes his exam mark into an "A", as agreed.Afterwards, the professor calls on his best student and asks him the same question.He immediately answers: "Sir, you are 63 years old and married to a 35 year old woman, which is legal, but not logical. Your wife has a 25 year old lover, which is logical, but not legal. The fact that you have given your wife's lover an "A", although he really should have failed, is neither legal, nor logical."

SPIDER BITE - Pls Read - Becareful with spiders

*A spider bite...please read...........*


And you thought the brown recluse was bad!!!


*Three women in North Florida , turned up at hospitals over a 5-day
period,
all with the same symptoms. Fever, chills, and vomiting, followed by
muscular collapse, paralysis, and finally, death. **

There were no outward signs of trauma.

Autopsy results showed toxicity in the blood. These women did not know
each
other, and seemed to have nothing in common. **I**t was discovered,
however,
that they had all visited the same Restaurant (Olive Garden) within days
of
their deaths. The health department descended on the restaurant,
shutting it
down. The food, water, and air conditioning were all inspected and
tested,
to no avail. **

The big break came when a waitress at the restaurant was rushed to the
hospital with similar symptoms. She told doctors that she had been on
vacation, and had only went to the restaurant to pick up her check. She
did
not eat or drink while she was there, but had used the restroom. That is
when one toxicologist, remembering an article he had read, drove out to
the
restaurant, went into the restroom, and lifted the toilet seat. Under
the
seat, out of normal view, was a small spider.

The spider was captured and brought back to the lab, where it was
determined
to be the Two-Striped Telamonia (Telamonia dimidiata), so named because
of
its reddened flesh color. This spider's venom is extremely toxic, but
can
take several days to take effect. They live in cold, dark, damp
climates,
and toilet rims provide just the right atmosphere.

Several days later a lawyer from Jacksonville showed up at a hospital
emergency room. Before his death, he told the doctor, that he had been
away
on business, had taken a flight from Indonesia , changing planes
inSingapore, before returning home He did not visit (Olive Garden),
while
there. He did, as did all of the other victims, have what was determined
to
be a puncture wound, on his right buttock.

Investigators discovered that the flight he was on had originated in
India .
The Civilian Aeronautics Board (CAB) ordered an immediate inspection of
the
toilets of all flights from India , and discovered the Two-Striped
Telamonia
(Telamonia dimidiata) spider's nests on 4 different planes!

Be careful about Cans

A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke
which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was
taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died
on Wednesday. The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This
was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests
showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the
disease Leptospirosis. Rat urine contains toxic and deadly substances
It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of soda
cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in
warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being
cleaned. A study at NYCU showed that the tops of soda cans are more
contaminated than public toilets (i .e.) full of germs and bacteria.
So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any
kind of fatal accident. Please forward this message to all the people
you care about. (I JUST DID!)

MICRO POWER

The intention of people writing in the power school has been to wake
strategic management up to a basic reality of organizational life: that
organizations consist of individuals with dreams, hopes, jealousies, interests,
and fears. This may seem like an obvious point, but much of
the literature for a long time gave the impression that senior managers
were rational actors who defined strategies that everyone else embraced,
compliant and loyal "labor inputs" that they were. In contrast
to this, let us consider strategy making as a political process and then
strategies themselves as political before we conclude with the positive
benefits of micro politics.

BREAKING INDUSTRY RULES

Myth: Industry analysis is key to strategy
The rule breakers know that it is now increasingly difficult to define precisely
where an industry begins and ends. This is certainly true for financial
services, telecommunications, health care, and a variety of other industries.
The question, "What industry are you in?" is becoming harder and harder
to answer.

Myth: You should focus on your direct competitors
In the past it was relatively easy to tell who was a competitor and who was
not. Today it is harder to distinguish competitors from collaborators from
suppliers from buyers. The rule breakers understand that rivalry ain't as
simple as it used to be. For many companies, it's getting harder and harder
to tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Myth: In strategy, it's you against the world
Most managers think they can pretty much control the direction of their
business. Yet today's smart leaders understand it is difficult to know just
where the boundaries of the firm begin and end—temporary workers, outsourcing,
and long-term supply relationships are now the norm. A firm may
"own" only a small portion of the relevant value chain. The sort of radical
strategy that leads to true innovation becomes substantially more complex
in a world where the firm doesn't directly control many of these assets critical
to its success.

THE HOTHOUSE MODEL OF STRATEGY FORMATION

1. There is only one strategist, and that person is the chief executive officer
(other managers may participate; planners provide support).

2. The CEO formulates strategies through a conscious, controlled process of
thought, much as tomatoes are cultivated in a hothouse.

3. These strategies come out of this process fully developed, then to be
made formally explicit, much as ripe tomatoes are picked and sent to the
market.

4. These explicit strategies are then formally implemented (which includes
the development of the necessary budgets and programs as well as the design
of the appropriate structure).

5. To manage this process is to analyze the appropriate data, preconceive insightful
strategies, and then plant them carefully, caring for them and
watching them as they grow on schedule.

Decisions Made by Professional judgment

Professional organizations are distinguished by the fact that the determination
of the basic mission—the specific services to be offered and to
whom—is in good part left to the judgment of professionals as individuals.
In the university, for example, each professor has a good deal of control
over what is taught and how, as well as what is researched and how. Thus
the overall product-market strategy of a university must be seen as the
composite of the individual teaching and research postures of all its professors.
There is, however, a subtle but not insignificant constraint on this
power. Professionals are left to decide on their own only because years of
training have ensured that they will decide in ways generally accepted in
their professions. Pushed to the limit, then, individual freedom becomes
professional control

MORE EFFECTIVE, LESS CLEVER STRATEGIES

If you place in a bottle half a dozen bees and the same number of flies, and
lay the bottle horizontally, with its base [the closed end] to the window, you
will find that the bees will persist, till they die of exhaustion or hunger, in
their endeavor to discover an [opening] through the glass; while the flies, in
less than two minutes, will all have sallied forth through the neck on the opposite
side It is [the bees'] love of flight, it is their very intelligence, that
is their undoing in this experiment. They evidently imagine that the issue
from every prison must be where the light shines clearest; and they act in
accordance, and persist in too-logical action. To [bees] glass is a supernatural
mystery .. . and, the greater their intelligence, the more inadmissible,
more incomprehensible, will the strange obstacle appear. Whereas the
featherbrained flies, careless of logic . . . flutter wildly hither and thither,
and meeting here the good fortune that often waits on the simple . . . necessarily
end up by discovering the friendly opening that restores their liberty
to them.

BIASES IN DECISION MAKING

Willingness to gather facts which lead toward certain conclusions
and to disregard other facts which threaten them
Inability to apply the same decision criteria in similar situations
Failure to change (or changing slowly) one's own mind in
light of new information/evidence
The most recent events dominate those in the less recent
past, which are downgraded or ignored
Reliance upon specific events easily recalled from memory,
to the exclusion of other pertinent information
Predictions are unduly influenced by initial information
which is given more weight in the forecasting process
Belief that patterns are evident and/or two variables are
causally related when they are not
People tend to see problems in terms of their own background
and experience
Persistent increases [in some phenomenon] might be due to
random reasons which, if true, would [raise] the chance of a
[subsequent] decrease. Alternatively, persistent decreases
might [raise] the chances of [subsequent] increases
Success is attributed to one's skills while failure to bad luck,
or someone else's error. This inhibits learning as it does not
allow recognition of one's mistakes
People's preferences for future outcomes affect their forecasts
of such outcomes
Excessive optimism, illusory correlation, and the need to
reduce anxiety result in underestimating future uncertainty

ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND PLANNING

Interviews with the founders of 100 companies on the 1989 Inc. "500" list
of the fastest growing companies in the United States revealed that entrepreneurs
spent little effort on their initial business plan:

• 41 % had no business plan at all
• 26% had just a rudimentary, back-of-the-envelope type of plan
• 5% worked up financial projections for investors
• 28% wrote up a full-blown plan

Many entrepreneurs, the interview suggested, don't bother with wellformulated
plans for good reasons. They thrive in rapidly changing industries
and niches that tend to deter established companies. And under these
fluid conditions, an ability to roll with the punches is much more important
than careful planning....
Peter [Zacharkiw] did not conduct any research.... He placed an ad in
the Washington Post to sell his computer. He got over 50 responses and
sold his machine for a profit. Peter figured that if he had had 50 machines,
he could have sold them all and decided to begin selling computers from his
home "First, we sold to individuals responding to ads. But these people
were working for companies, and they would tell their purchasing agents,
'Hey, I know where you can get these.' It was an all-referral business. I gave
better service than anyone else. . . . After customers started asking for
Compaq machines, [his firm] became a Compaq dealer, and the business
really took off. "We're very reactive, not proactive," Peter observes. "Business
comes to us, and we react. I've never had a business plan.

ARE ENTREPRENEURS MERCURIAL?

Mercury's essence is transition . . . one of "floating freely . . . associative
wandering . . . apercu .. . backtracking and rhetorical repetition [and] .. .
stealth and thievery. Brainstorms, insights, lucky finds, intuitions, the play of
dreams .. . [are Mercury's domain]" (Stein, 1983:52). His style is simultaneous
or instantaneous linkage of places, people, and ideas. Through his activity,
conflicting parties reach agreement, resources are exchanged,
transitions occur.
Mercury also has the attributes of being crafty, deceiving, ingenious, and
suddenly and magically present. He is known for his resourcefulness, nimbleness,
subtle cunning, and in his role as messenger or herald is articulate
and important to the conduct of affairs. His attitude is ironic and unsentimental
We attribute many of these qualities to entrepreneurs. We see them as
creative, opportunistic, persuasive, and freer spirits than the "organizational"
man or woman. Empirical studies have found that many entrepreneurs
conform to the characteristics of Mercury, being socially adroit,
autonomous individuals with lower than average needs for affiliation, conformity,
succorance, and interpersonal affect

REFLECTIONS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR

• "The biggest risk any of us can take is to invest money in a business that
we don't know. Very few of the businesses that Virgin has set up have
been in completely new fields."
• "I have not depended on others to do surveys or market research, or to
develop grand strategies. I have taken the view that the risk to the company
is best reduced by my own involvement in the nitty-gritty of the
new business."
• " . . . There is always another deal. Deals are like London buses—there's
always another one coming along."
• " . . . Reduce the scale o f . . . risk through joint ventures . . . [and] have a
way out of a high risk venture."
• " . . . As businesses grow, watch out for management losing touch with
the basics—normally the customer."
• "[Our] 'keep it small' rule enables . . . more than usual numbers of managers
the challenge and excitement of running their own businesses."
• " . . . Pursue a 'buy, don't make' strategy."
• "Having evaluated an investment... and having decided to make an investment,
don't pussyfoot around. Go for it!"

THE UPSIDE OF TOOLISM

1. Every tool carries a set of strengths and weaknesses. Success requires understanding
the full effects—and side effects—of each tool, then creatively
combining the right ones in the right ways at the right times.
The secret is . . . in learning which tools to use, how and when.

2. Tools should be judged by their utility, not by their novelty.

3. Tools exist for the benefit of people, not vice versa. Management tools are
credited by their advocates with saving corporations—almost as loudly
as they are blamed by their critics for destroying them. The truth is,
tools do neither: people make companies succeed or fail.

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS OF STRATEGIC PLANNING

1. The staff took over the process. This situation arose partly because
CEOs created new staff components to deal with a new function,
partly because the staff moved in to fill a vacuum created by middle
management's indifference to a new responsibility, and partly because
of arrogance and empire building. As a result, planning staffs all too
often cut executives out of the strategy development process, turning
them into little more than rubber stamps

2. The process dominated the staff. The process's methodologies became
increasingly elaborate. Staff placed too much emphasis on analysis, too
little on true strategic insights... . Strategic thinking became equated
with strategic planning.... Jack Welch, the chairman and CEO of GE,
described the outcome graphically: "The books got thicker, the printing
got more sophisticated, the covers got harder, and the drawings
got better."...

3. Planning systems were virtually designed to produce no results The main
design failure lay in denying, or diminishing, the planning role of the very
executives whose mandate was to execute the strategy.... The attitude
of many was typified by the angry retort of one executive. "The matrix
picked the strategy—let the matrix implement it!" The other design fault
was the failure to integrate the strategic planning system with the operations
system, resulting in a strategy that did not drive action.

4. Planning focused on the more exciting game of mergers, acquisitions, and
divestitures at the expense of core business development. This problem
stemmed in part from the temper of the times. But it also resulted
from the inappropriate use of planning tools....

5. Planning processes failed to develop true strategic choices. . . . Planners
and executives rushed to adopt the first strategy that "satisfied" (i.e.
met certain basic conditions in an acceptable manner). They made no
real effort to search for, or analyze, an array of strategy alternatives
before making a decision. As a result, companies all too often adopted
strategies by default rather than by choice.

6. Planning neglected the organizational and cultural requirements of strategy.
... The process focused, rightly, on the external environment, but
it did so at the expense of the internal environment that is critical in the
implementation stage.

7. Single-point forecasting was an inappropriate basis for planning in an era of
restructuring and uncertainty.... Companies still tended to rely on single-
point forecasting. Scenario-based planning was the exception
rather than the rule... . Plans that relied on [single-point forecasting]
suffered increased vulnerability to surprises. . . . [Moreover] because
planning assumptions spelled out a single future, one that was almost
always some slight variation of an extrapolation of past trends, there
was an inherent bias in favor of continuing a "momentum strategy."

the premises of the planning school:

1. Strategies result from a controlled, conscious process of formal planning,decomposed into distinct steps, each delineated by checklists andsupported by techniques.

2. Responsibility for that overall process rests with the chief executive inprinciple; responsibility for its execution rests with staff planners inpractice.

3. Strategies appear from this process full blown, to be made explicit sothat they can then be implemented through detailed attention to objeC'tives, budgets, programs, and operating plans of various kinds.
