NUMEROLOGY TIPS FOR HOUSE HUNTING

Are you planning a move soon? Relocating? House hunting? Are you undecided about which house to choose? Let numerology be your guide. Take the full house number, no matter how many digits, and add all of the numbers together and then reduce to a one digit number.

For instance, if the house number is 33074, then you would add up and reduce that to a 17, then add and reduce again to a one digit number which in this case would be an 8.

Below is a guide of the numerological energies of the one digit numbers.

The 1 House:

This is a house where you would feel motivated. You would function as an independent person here. This is a great house for someone who lives alone. In this house, you feel comfortable in taking the lead on all things and will always have the energy to initiate all kinds of beginnings here. You definitely would be no "shrinking violet" in this abode! This house shines and the owner could collect a lot of interesting types of lamps. Just be careful that while you live here, you don’t become too aggressive or overbearing or you could lose your friends.

The 2 House:

This house has a cozy, loving vibration to it. In this house, the occupants would seek peace and a lot of togetherness. A 2 house vibrates to the energies of the moon, so psychic work could also be done under this roof. This is a house that simply nurtures all kinds of relationships, so its "tea for two" within these walls. This house would also make an ideal place for one to hold a garden party or wedding in the back yard of this house. Don’t be surprised if the occupants have a gazebo installed. The negative side to living in a 2 house; not to get too dependent on your partner - always strive to maintain a balance.

The 3 House:

This is a home that vibrates to communication and self-expression. The residents here would love to entertain frequently and would be very hospitable to their guests. A lot of creativity is abounding in these walls. This house corresponds to the planet of Jupiter, so it could also be a large house or a maybe a smaller home but one that would be slated for future expansions. On the negative side, this house could be conducive to excesses and perhaps shun the responsibilities of everyday living.

The 4 House:

This house represents security. This is a house with a strong foundation and is extremely grounded. It’s all about the earth - so make sure you surround this abode with a garden and throw in some herbs for good measure! This is also a house to choose if you want to concentrate on accomplishing a lot of work. You’ll succeed in this house. One drawback, it could be too serious and lackluster in this house - so try to incorporate some fun into it. Take time to smell those roses that are growing in that garden.

The 5 House:

This is the house of change and movement. It’s vibrant and alive! Residents here will, undoubtedly, travel a lot, or at least make many weekend getaways. The family that lives here will always revel with their five senses! This home will be filled with computers, social events and with a well stocked library. Add to that some blaring music. The noise level could be loud in this house. If its peace and serenity that you crave, this is not your house.

The 6 House:

This house is a beauty. The number 6 is associated with the planet of Venus and this house probably will always be immaculate and kept up. A 6 house is usually freshly painted and decorated with style and class. This is a house that has a family/relationship vibration to it, and it would be very conducive to raising children here. A lot of nurturing goes on in these walls and its usually filled with compassion up to the ceiling. On the down side, you may have trouble getting rid of unwanted visitors who try to outwear their welcome. The occupants of this house would also make a superb counselors or advisors as they have a natural understanding of people.

The 7 House:

A lot of contemplating goes on in this house. Unlike the 5 house, the adventure is within in the 7 house. It’s a great home to build a library and its occupants would make great armchair travelers. Sometimes this home can make one feel like a loner. If you’re married, make sure you openly express your feelings to your partner. This could be the home of the mystic . A negative might be the temptation to escape through drugs, alcohol or food. Some say a 7 house could even be haunted or attract ghosts!

The 8 House:

If you like power, money and success, this one is the pick of the litter! This is a powerful house and its occupants would make great politicians, doctors, attorneys or any high executive positions. This house will always be organized and managed smoothly. Everything will be so well-maintained at all times. Any occupants in an 8, would, undoubtedly, prosper -- just make sure you take time to stop and smell the roses like those 4 residents!

The 9 House:

This is a house of the humanitarian. This can be a selfless house where the occupants are usually off on a mission somewhere or busy functioning at charity fund raisers. This number of 9 has a connection to the past, so don’t be surprised if you get a lot of visitors or phone calls from people whom you haven’t heard from in a while. The 9 house would make a perfect house to practice feng shui. Purge all of the clutter to make room for the new energies/possessions to come in. Recycling is the theme in this house. The only drawback would be to make sure you don’t dwell in the past. Look ahead to the future and make sure you have mastered forgiveness.

Looking for the ideal house can be a monumental task, fraught with questions, concerns, worries, sometimes even sleepless nights. But you can make the job a little easier by simply remembering to count from 1 to 9. Use numbers as a guide to help you make one of the most important decisions of your life. Who knows? Maybe your dream house is just around the corner, waiting for you to count the ways for you to feel happy and homey within its walls. Numerology can make those dreams come true and set you on a true course for home.

My Trip to Bhadrachalam & Vijayawada - Oct 1st to 5th

Hi Folks,

My trip to Bhadrachalam & Vijayawada(Oct 1st to 5th,2009) was a lovely one.
By God's grace i could see the temple, the place where Rama & Sita stayed
during the last 3 years of Vanavasa, Durga temple, Bhadrachalam temple etc.

I also witnessed the krishna river in full spate which happened once in 100
yrs with 10L cusecs of water flooding from Srisilam vs Prakasham barage(at
Vijayawada). Forecasted 1 million people who have lost their homes and all
they earned till then, was shocking. About 30 odd villages indundated and
more villages in danger zone was a rather tearful episode of what has
happened. Once again, Nature proves that humans aren't full prepared to
take on the fury it unleashes.

 Hope the bad days of weather subside soon.

Quotations by Gandhiji

Quotations by Gandhiji
( Book - Mohan Mala - the Gandhian rosary )

He is the greatest Democrat the world knows, for He leaves us unfettered to
make our own choice between evil and good. He is the greatest tyrant ever
known, for He often dashes the cup from our lips and under the cover of
free will leaves us a margin so wholly inadequate as to provide only mirth
(laughter) for Himself at our expense.

To me God is truth and love; God is ethics and morality; God is
fearlessness. God is the source of light and life and yet he is above and
beyond all these. God is conscience. He is even the atheism of the
atheist. For in his boundless love he permits the atheist to live.

If God was a capricious ( unpredictable & impulsive ) person instead of
being the changeless, unchangeable living law, He would in sheer
indignation wipeout those who in the name of religion deny Him and His law.

God keeps an accurate record of all things good and bad. There is no
better accountant than Him

The divine guidance often comes when the horizon is the blackest.

God is the hardest taskmaster I have known on this earth, and He tries you
through and through. And when you find your faith is failing or your body
failing you and you are sinking, He comes to your assistance somehow or
other and proves to you that you must not lose your faith and that He is
always at your beck and call, but on his terms, not on your terms.
So I have found. I cannot really recall a single instance when at the
eleventh hour, He has forsaken me.

h1n1 virus - showing signs of mutation

HYDERABAD: The H1N1 virus, 'imported' to Hyderabad from overseas, is
showing signs of getting 'mutated' into a more virulent form. Clinical
observation of experts in the State capital indicate that the genetic make
up of H1N1 virus has 'changed' and is now more 'potent' after coming into
contact with the local existing viral forms.


This is the 'second wave' of swine flu virus, coinciding with the rainy
season, which is still active. There is a possibility of onset of a third
and more virulent form in the upcoming winter season. The virus is getting
more 'time' to stay in the atmosphere because of low temperatures, experts
opine. A pattern, among the fatalities has been detected. "Patients are
dying within 24 to 48 hours after getting infected with H1N1. The virus is
not giving any chance to the doctors to treat the patient. That's why we
are losing patients who have good immunity," said Gandhi Hospital
Superintendent E.A. Ashok Kumar.


Between May and August, when H1N1 virus was 'imported' from other
countries, it did not cause severe illness to patients. "These days, the
patient's condition is deteriorating within 24 hours. There is a definite
shift in the genetic make up of the virus. It might have genetically
changed after coming into contact with local influenza virus,"
Superintendent of Chest Hospital S.V. Prasad.

"Bose - the Indian behind the Big Bang experiment

Wed, Sep 10 05:44 PM

London, Sep 10 (IANS) Of the three main past and present physicists behind the landmark proton-smashing experiment in Geneva Wednesday, one has a Nobel Prize, the other is waiting to find out if he has one, and the third never got one.

The third man is the Bose of the Higgs-boson experiment - Satyendra Nath Bose.

It is Bose after whom the sub-atomic particle 'boson' is named - probably the only noun in the English language named after an Indian (and therefore never capitalised).

The $10 billion Large Hadron Collider experiment in Switzerland Wednesday could not have happened without Bose and Albert Einstein.

In 1924, Bose sent a paper to Einstein describing a statistical model that eventually led to the discovery of the Bose-Einstein condensate phenomenon.

The paper laid the basis for describing one of the two categories of the elementary particles that make up an atom - one was boson, and the other came to be known as fermion, after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.

Einstein had already won the Nobel in 1921 for services to theoretical physics and the discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, and Fermi won it in 1938.

Decades later, in 1964, the British scientist Peter Higgs returned from a walk in the Scottish mountains to tell his colleagues that he had just experienced his 'one big idea,' which could hold a clue to how matter in the universe got its mass in the billionth of a second after the Big Bang.

Higgs eventually came up with his theory of the Higgs boson, a boson that gives mass to all other subatomic particles that happen to interact with it in a 'Higgs field'. The more they interact, the heavier they become. And the ones that don't interact don't gather mass.

The theory could not only throw further light on the creation of the universe, but also help explain the shape of it.

Wednesday's experiment at the European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland, where protons will be smashed against each other at great speed, will be the first attempt to actually observe the Higgs boson - nicknamed the 'God particle.' So far, it is the last undetected elementary particle, also called a fundamental particle, going by the standard theory of particle physics.

Higgs, who is professor emeritus at Edinburgh University, is now widely tipped to win the Nobel, particularly if the Higgs boson is detected.

The first Nobels for physics in the 21st century went jointly to three Americans - Eric Cornell, Carl Wieman and Wolfgang Ketterle. The won it for creating the 'condensate' - a new type of matter - that Bose and Einstein had postulated.

According to Bose's grandson Falguni Sarkar, six other physicists have won the Nobel for work in the area of Bose statistics.

However, for some reason, Satyendra Nath Bose himself never won the Nobel.

Sharon Ann Holgate, a British science writer and broadcaster who made an acclaimed radio documentary on Bose for the BBC some years ago, said she had no doubt the Indian deserved a Nobel.

'I certainly do think he deserved the Nobel. When I was researching my documentary I was outraged that this man was so brilliant, yet so overlooked, perhaps because of institutionalised racism. No one gave a damn because he was an Indian,' she told IANS.

'I was really angry, and wanted to make him a bit more widely known.' Holgate added.

5 things you should know about your cell phone

5 things you should know about your cell phone

 

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.) There are a few things that can be done in time! Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: FIRST Emergency The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to Establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the key pad i s locked. Try it out. SECOND Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote key less entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot From your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, y ou can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked !  our car over a cell phone!' THIRD Hidden Battery Power Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#.. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time. FOURTH How to dis able a STOLEN mobile phone? To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your han dset s o even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. And Finally..... FIFTH Free Directory Service for Cells Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you ne ed to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now. This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends

Seven types of guys women can't resist

Source: http://in.news. yahoo.com/ 139/20090814/ 385/ten-women- like-to-target- men-who-are- alr.html 

"
Washington, July 11 (ANI): Always wondered why some guys always manage to get the best of girls? Well, the secret is not good looks or a well-defined six pack, but the fact that women simply get attracted to certain personality traits and flock to men who possess them.

Below are seven of these "ideal types" of guys that women are drawn to, and an explanation as to why these guys are so appealing, reports Fox News.

The list could help you understand what women are looking for, and most importantly, to make sure that you fit the bill.

1. The Romantic Guy

He believes in classic romance. He is constantly bringing her flowers and chocolate and lighting candles during dinner. He calls her often to let her know he is thinking about her and looks into her eyes and tells her how he feels.

Why he is so irresistible: A woman loves to feel appreciated, and the romantic guy makes this happen. He uses romantic gestures to show her he is thinking about her. As an added bonus, she feels free to reciprocate and act on her own romantic tendencies.

2. The Confident Guy

He is totally secure and sure of himself. He is assertive in public and gives off an aura of power and control. In a relationship, he doesn't get jealous of other men; he doesn't feel threatened by his girlfriend's male friends or co-workers.

Why he is so irresistible: Women are attracted to confident men. Consider this: If you think you are great, she will probably be influenced to think the same. The confident man doesn't seek approval from women, and this makes them want him even more.

3. The Artistic Guy

The artistic guy is spontaneous and lives for the moment. Often, he will use his creativity to woo her, such as with a song he has written about her or a painting he has made for her.

Why he is so irresistible: Every woman wants to feel unique and special. There is no better way to make her feel this way than to use her as your muse or your source of inspiration. She is intrigued by the artistic guy's creative mind and especially by the way he incorporates her into his art.

4. The Foreign Guy

He comes from a faraway exotic country and he might have a cute accent or a unique way of seeing the world. His social customs and everyday behaviour can be a little quirky, but he always manages to come off as uniquely charming.

Why he is so irresistible: Women often choose this kind of guy if they are curious about the world, but most of the appeal comes down to a fascination with dating someone from another culture.

5. The Free Spirit Guy (aka the Bad Boy)

The free spirit guy goes where the wind takes him - and the wind usually takes him on some kind of wacky adventure. He might ride a motorcycle, or he might skip work to take her on a last-minute road trip, but this guy doesn't worry too much about the consequences- he just sees where his own devices take him.

Why he is so irresistible: Every woman wants a bit of a rebel. She loves his carefree attitude and hopes that it will rub off on her too. The bad boy spirit adds an element of youthfulness to the relationship and she loves to try taming him, although she knows she'll never actually succeed.

6. The Intelligent/ Witty Guy

He instigates conversations that are intellectually stimulating and listens to what she has to say in response. He makes her laugh with his clever sense of humour and has an uncanny ability to make politics interesting. He can shoot the breeze with her for hours and it will never get boring.

Why he is so irresistible: An intellectual connection is a big part of what sustains a relationship and if you can show her that you've got that, she'll be hooked pretty quickly.

7. The Considerate Guy

He holds open her car door and pulls out her chair. He foots the bill for dinner and makes sure to offer her dessert. He always asks her out with reasonable notice and picks her up at her door. He is generally sensitive to how she is feeling and when she is ready to go home.

Why he is so irresistible: Once a woman has gone through her share of the bad guy, the rude guy and the not-calling- her-back guy, she will likely re-evaluate her priorities. It takes a bit of maturity on her part to realize this, but eventually most girls come around and realize that they want a guy who will treat them well in the long run.

But, think twice before copying any of the above character types, for women can know when you are faking it. (ANI)

Newsweek says "We Are All Hindus Now"

Source: http://in.news.yahoo.com/139/20090818/888/twl-newsweek-says-we-are-all-hindus-now.html

Tue, Aug 18 03:50 PM

Nevada (US), Aug.18 (ANI): "We Are All Hindus Now"-headlines the article in the upcoming edition of prestigious newsmagazine "Newsweek", saying "U.S. Views on God and Life Are Turning Hindu".

Written by its religion editor Lisa Miller, it says, "...recent poll data show that conceptually, at least, we are slowly becoming more like Hindus and less like traditional Christians in the ways we think about God, our selves, each other, and eternity."

Commenting about the Newsweek viewpoint, Rajan Zed said that community was glad that rich philosophical thought of Hinduism was being recognized and accepted widely outside the Hindu circles.

The article quotes a religion professor at Boston University who has long framed the American propensity for "the divine-deli-cafeteria religion" as "very much in the spirit of Hinduism..."

It further says: "So here is another way in which Americans are becoming more Hindu: 24 percent of Americans say they believe in reincarnation, according to a 2008 Harris poll. So agnostic are we about the ultimate fates of our bodies that we're burning them-like Hindus-after death. More than a third of Americans now choose cremation, according to the Cremation Association of North America."

The article ends with: So let us all say "om." (ANI)

Indian natural herb Tulsi to fight back swine flu

Source: http://in.news.yahoo.com/242/20090812/1512/tls-indian-natural-herb-tulsi-to-fight-b_1.html

Wed, Aug 12 11:56 AM

Ayurveda, the traditional 'science of life', has a remedy for diseases when every other stream of medicine fails. Now, at a time when swine flu is spreading like wildfire across the world, Ayurveda has the remedy in the form of the miraculous herb, the basil leaves commonly known as Tulsi.

Tulsi, the purest and most sublime plant, has been known and worshipped in India for more than five millennia for its remarkable healing properties. Considered as an 'Elixir of Life', this wonder herb has now been claimed to keep the deadly swine flu at bay and help fast recovery in afflicted persons.

"The anti-flu property of Tulsi has been discovered by medical experts across the world quite recently. Tulsi improves the body's overall defence mechanism including its ability to fight viral diseases. It was successfully used in combating Japanese Encephalitis and the same theory applies to swine flu," Dr U K Tiwari, a herbal medicine practitioner says.

Apart from acting as a preventive medicine in case of swine flu, Tulsi can help the patient recover faster.

"Even when a person has already contracted swine flu, Tulsi can help in speeding up the recovery process and also help in strengthening the immune system of the body," he claims.

Dr Bhupesh Patel, a lecturer at Gujarat Ayurved University, Jamnagar is also of the view that Tulsi can play an important role in controlling swine flu.

"Tulsi can control swine flu and it should be taken in fresh form. Juice or paste of at least 20-25 medium sized leaves should be consumed twice a day on an empty stomach." This increases the resistance of the body and, thereby, reduces the chances of inviting swine flu," believes Patel.

As its name suggests, Tulsi has again proved to be the 'the incomparable' medicine - this time, in the prevention and cure of swine flu.

The symptoms of the H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with novel H1N1 flu virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. The high risk groups for novel H1N1 flu are not known at this time, but it's possible that they may be the same as for seasonal influenza. However, Please consult a practitioner in case of any such symptoms. Doctors have strictly advised against self medication.

 I am really so awed by the accuracy of Meteorological dept.. they predicted one month back that, the 3rd and 4th week of July would witness heavy rains and high tides in about 100 years in mumbai and it proved so right.. every thing they had expressed came true.. i was just following it closely and am happy to see the progress of science..

 Are you folks going near beaches to see the high tides ?

Rajesh

A good quote..

Hi Folks,
 I liked this statement on the Vivekananda site and wished to share..

"Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riots there, undigested all your life. We must have life-building, man-making, character-making, assimilation of ideas."

I always loved MJ and still love him for his songs, dance and all the good he did to the society although he had a lot of inferiority complexes in him. I feel deeply pained to read this article and wish that no one resorts to such painful lifestyle.

No food, just pills in Jacko's ravaged frame at time of death

Mon, Jun 29 11:20 AM

London, June 29 (ANI): Leaked autopsy details suggest that Michael Jackson was a virtual skeleton with only pills in his stomach, while his body was riddled with needle wounds and surgery scars at the time of his death.

Experts reportedly found the singer's hips, thighs, and shoulders bore needle punctures, stemming from alleged injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.

A mass of surgery scars was also apparently spotted due to at least 13 cosmetic operations, while investigating the cause of King of Pop's shock death in Los Angeles on June 25.

The autopsy purportedly showed the 'Thriller' hitmaker, once hailed for his fitness, was "severely emaciated" 8st 1oz due to his assumed consumption of just one meagre meal a day.

The 5ft 10in star was also said to have virtually lost all his hair, and was discovered sporting a wig when he died. he 50-year-old bared broken ribs caused from CPR while four needle wounds were also found above or near his heart, according to reports.

The autopsy also reportedly showed yet to be explained bruising on Jackson's knees and on the fronts of both shins, along with cuts on his back.

Further damage was thought to have been brought on by oxygen masks and tubing inserted during failed resuscitation bids.

"Michael's family and fans will be horrified when they realise the appalling state he was in," British tabloid The Sun quoted a source close to Jackson as saying.

"He was skin and bone, his hair had fallen out and had been eating nothing but pills when he died.

Injection marks all over his body and the disfigurement caused by years of plastic surgery show he'd been in terminal decline for years.

"His doctors and the hangers-on stood by as he self-destructed. Somebody is going to have to pay," the source added.

Jackson's family has demanded a second autopsy, which was reportedly carried out at a secret location after foul play was ruled out in the first one. (ANI)

Meeting Rules

Some can be writer's view so ignore.. But most of it could be true.

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloids/corporate/when-usa-do-americans-do-175

Here are a few rules to keep in mind if you want to ensure that meetings with overseas clients turn out smooth.

UK
* Do: While writing letters or e-mails, address people using their designations. It is common practice to use full titles, even if the recipients would ordinarily be on first-name terms. Therefore: 'Mr Chairman', 'the Managing Director thinks', and so on.

* Don't: Address people by their first names when you meet them. The British are more friendly than they are credited to be. More often than not, they will spontaneously request you to address them by their first names. But it's always wiser to wait for them to say so.

USA
* Do: Initiating conversations at a meeting is considered acceptable and sometimes even polite. Make it a point to arrive 10 or 15 minutes early, and interact with people who work with you. If you arrive early for a meeting, introduce yourself to the other participants. You will be perceived as a friendly person.

* Don't: Gift giving is discouraged, or at best practised in a very limited manner, by many US companies. A gracious written note is always appropriate, and acceptable. An invitation for a meal, or a modest gift, is usually acceptable.

SOUTH EAST ASIA
* Do: When sitting down for a business meeting in Asia, remember the seating arrangement is determined by the status of the participants. This is decided in advance by the host, or in a meeting, by the senior most participant. Do not sit anywhere you feel like. You will be directed to an appropriate seat.

* Don't: Taking notes during a meeting will show you are interested in the proceedings. However, never write anyone's name in red ink (even your own), as it is considered inauspicious. Make it a point to carry a black, or a blue pen.

Good Article - What makes India tick, and will it last?

Source:
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/big-story/what-makes-india-tick-and-will-it-last-450

It was the collapse of a series of big commercial banks in the United States
that triggered the economic turbulence which has now enveloped the whole world.
The economies of Europe, Japan and South Korea tottered forcing the respective
governments to intervene in a big way to prevent a collapse. The crisis has
created an unprecedented loss of jobs everywhere, may be for the first time
since the Great Depression of 1929.

Developing countries such as India, China and Brazil could not entirely isolate
themselves from the destructive impact of the events taking place in the West.
But things did not go so bad for them either.

In September-October 2008, when the cascading effects of financial crisis in the
US began touching the Indian shores, economic experts predicted a doomsday
scenario. Corporate houses started adopting a defensive policy intended to
sustain and conserve their businesses.

However, when the final GDP growth figure (6.7 per cent) for the financial year
2008-09 was announced recently, it came as a pleasant surprise. India had
clearly shown its resilience in a negative global environment.

As the Indian economy started looking up, it also triggered positive sentiment
in the stock market with the Sensex crossing the 15,000-mark and Nifty hovering
around the 5,000 mark.

What is behind the pleasant growth numbers in a collapsing world? A closer look
reveals that an untapped large domestic consumer base, a conservative banking
system with robust regulatory mechanism and a lesser integration of the national
economy with that of the rest of world shielded India from the fate that befell
the US, Europe and Japan. Experts say, however, that the worst is not yet over
and the country needs to be cautious throughout this financial year (2009-10).
They are, however, pleased about the eventual growth numbers for 2008-09 which
no one expected.

Diabetes : How Do I Know If I Have It ?

Diabetes: How Do I Know If I Have It?

Q: What is diabetes?
A: Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your body doesn't make enough of a hormone called insulin, or if your body doesn't use insulin the right way. If left untreated, it may result in blindness, heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and amputations. Only half of the people who have diabetes have been diagnosed, because in the early stages of diabetes there are few symptoms, or the symptoms may be the same as symptoms of other health conditions.

Q: What are the symptoms of diabetes?
A: Early symptoms of diabetes may include the following:

Extreme thirst
Extreme hunger
Frequent urination
Sores or bruises that heal slowly
Dry, itchy skin
Unexplained weight loss
Blurry vision that changes from day to day
Unusual tiredness or drowsiness
Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
Frequent or recurring skin, gum, bladder or vaginal yeast infections
If you are regularly experiencing 1 or more of these symptoms, call your family doctor right away.

Q: Who is at risk for diabetes?
A: The early stages of diabetes have very few symptoms, so you may not know you have the disease. But damage may already be happening to your eyes, your kidneys and your cardiovascular system even before you notice symptoms. You are at risk for having diabetes if:
You're older than 45 years of age
You're overweight
You don't exercise regularly
Your parent, brother or sister has diabetes
You gave birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds or you had gestational diabetes while you were pregnant
You're African American, Hispanic American/Latino, Native American, Asian American or Pacific Islander
If you have 1 or more of these risk factors, your doctor may want you to be tested for diabetes. You might also be tested at a younger age and more often if you have risk factors. Talk to your doctor about your risk of developing diabetes and about a plan for regular testing.

Q: How will I be tested for diabetes?
A: Testing (also called "screening") is usually done with a fasting blood test. You'll be tested in the morning, so you shouldn't eat anything after dinner the night before. A normal blood sugar test result is below 110 mg per dL. A test result higher than 125 mg per dL suggests diabetes. However, you should have 2 tests that are higher than 125 mg per dL, on 2 different days, before a diagnosis of diabetes is made. Test results from 110 mg per dL to 125 mg per dL suggest that you have a higher risk of diabetes.

Q: Why is it important for diabetes to be diagnosed early?
A: Many people have diabetes for about 5 years before they show symptoms . By that time, some people already have eye, kidney, gum or nerve damage caused by diabetes. There's no cure for diabetes, but there are ways for you to stay healthy and reduce the risk of complications. If you exercise, watch your diet, control your weight and take the medicine your doctor may prescribe, you can make a big difference in reducing or preventing the damage that diabetes can do. The earlier you know you have diabetes, the sooner you can make these important lifestyle changes.

Q: Where can I get more information about diabetes?
A: Your family doctor can tell you how often you should be screened for diabetes. He or she can give you advice about diet and exercise, and tell you if you have the disease.
