World Health Day,UNO,April 7th,HealthyIndia

World Health Day April 7th

World Health Day marks the founding of the World Health Organization (WHO).In the year 1948,The World Health Organization held the First World Health Assembly.The assembly decided to celebrate 7th April of each year ,with effect from 1950,as the World Health Day.It is an opportunity to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health

In 2008,World Health Day focuses on the need to protect health from the adverse effect of climate change.The theme"protecting health from climate change" puts health at the centre of the global dialogue about climate change .WHO selected this theme in recognition that climate change is posing ever-growing threats to global public health.

All societies are now vulnerable to climate change.Effects on human health have already been observed in the WHO European Region .The first alarming examples include the 44,000 deaths caused by heat-wave in August 2003,the changes in the geographical distribution of some vector -borne infectious diseases such as those carried by ticks and tiger mosquitoes,and the altered seasonal distribution of some allergenic pollen species.

Health effects are likely to increase with rising temperatures .Neverthless,many can be avoided or controlled through action in health-related sectors such as transport and water management.

Through increased collabration,the global community will be better prepared to cope with climate -related health challenges worldwide.Examples of such collabrations include strengthening surveillance and control of infectious diseases,ensuring safer use of diminishing water supplies and coordinating health action in emergencies.The sooner countries act,the higher the benefits and lower the costs.Investing in strong mitigation measures wil result in health benefits.Countries can also plan adaptation measures to help their citizens cope with new threats.To reduce child mortality,improve maternal health and combatHIV/AIDS,malaria and other diseases are among the Millennium Development Goals that all member states have pledged to meet by the year 2015.

Natural disasters ,chemical and nuclear accidents,climate change and its consequences,and bioterrorism all have the potential to affect international public health security.Multinational partnerships are needed to expand access to drugs and vaccines,improve public health infrastructure in developing countries and launch better public health work force education programs worldwide.World Health Day focuses on the health of the people throughout the world,especially Third World countries ,through education ,immunization etc.

Yoga,Cure of diseases, School Activities,mental relief

Yoga
Yoga is a set of ancient spiritual practices aimed to help one attain an ideal balance between the body,mind and soul.It helps to bring forth equanimity of body and mind and a deeper insight through the practice of asceticism and meditation. Yoga can be defined as a philosophy of life, a code of conduct ,as well as an art of living.This early tradition of spiritual practice is capable of ensuring physical well being,mental peace,harmony,moral elevation and spiritual upliftment.The aim of yoga is to transform man from his gross animal existence to the sublime heights of divinity.According to 'yoga sutra' by patanjali,yoga involves an eight fold path leading to a final liberation from pain and suffering- taking one to the highest state of creativity,of discriminative knowledge and towards attaining the desired perfection.
They are :-

1.Yama :-involves the five "absentations" namely nonviolence,truth,noncovetousness, chastity,and abstain from attachment to possessions.
2.Niyama :-Involves the five "observances " namely purity,contentment,austerities,study and surrender.
3.Asana :-involves the various seated postures used for meditation
4.Pranayama:- involves the control of vital energy (breathing control)
5.Prathyahara :-Withdrawal of the senses inwards through abstraction.
6.Dharna :-involves concentration of the mind
7.Dhyana :-the practice of meditation.
8.Samadhi:- Is the merging of consciousness with the object of meditation
.
Among these ,the first five ,which focuses on the psychosomatic approach,are referred ta as Hatha yoga ,while later three,related to the psyche are known as internal yoga or Raja yoga .If practiced on a long -term basis .yoga brings significant changes to those who suffer from bronchial asthma , nasal allergy,chronic brinchitis,diabetes,thyroxicosis,obesity,high and low blood pressure and ischaemic heart diseases,migraine,anxiety,neurosis,depressive neurosis,rheumatism,back pain,arthritis,gastritis and peptic ulcermchronic diarrhea and dysentery,irritable bowel syndrome,Opthalmic disorders like short sight,long site,astigmatism,squint,initial stages of cataract and glaucoma etc

Water ,Uses of water,Health tips,nature,Drinking

The importance of drinking water.
Water is most essential,next to air for our survival.Water makes up more than two thirds of the weight of the human bodyand without it human will die in a few days.The human brain is made up of 95% of water,blood is 82% and lings 90%.A mere 2% drop in our body's water supply can trigger the signs os dehydration.Mild dehydration is also one of the most common causes of daytime fatigue.
Without water our body cannot work.Infact ,all the cell and organ functions in our entire anatomy and psysiology depend up on water for their functioning.
1.Water serves as a lubricant.
2.Water forms the base for saliva.
3.Water forms the fluids that surround the joints.
4.Water regulates the body temperature,as the cooling and heating is distributed through prespiration.
In addition to the daily maintenance of our bodies ,water also plays a key role in the prevention of disease.Drinking 8 glasses of water daily can decrease the risk of colon cancer by 45%,Bladder cancer by50% and it can potentially even reduce the risk of breast cancer.
So when your kids are thirsty,give them water to drink.Plain pure water and limit sugary drinks such as soft drinks,cordials or fruit juice drinks .Water is the drink of choice for quenching thirst.
Here are a few ways parents can encourage kids to drinks adequate water.
1.The parents should set an example by drinking plain pure water themselves.
2.Make water easily available.
3.Keep cool in a jug on the kitchen table with a glass
4.Serve water with meals
5.Pack a drinking bottle filled with water for school
.
Of course ,many homes are doing this already.
1.Add ice cubes
2.Use a straw
3.Add a slice of orange or lemon
4.Take a bottle of water from home when you are going out.

Higher Consumption of sugary drinks is associated with excess weight in children of all ages.But drinking milk is more important .Milk provides valuable nutrients ,including calcium and protein .But cordials,soft drinks and energy drinks with added sugar also can contain lots of kilojoules,but virtually no nutrients.Taking in too many kilojoules can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

April fools day pranks,Pranks,Fools day,Jokes

The Origin of April Fool’s Day

In 1983 the Associated Press reported that the mystery of the origin of April Fool's Day had finally been solved. Joseph Boskin, a History professor at Boston University, had discovered that the celebration had begun during the Roman empire when a court jester had boasted to Emperor Constantine that the fools and jesters of the court could rule the kingdom better than the Emperor could. In response, Constantine had decreed that the court fools would be given a chance to prove this boast, and he set aside one day of the year upon which a fool would rule the kingdom. The first year Constantine appointed a jester named Kugel as ruler, and Kugel immediately decreed that only the absurd would be allowed in the kingdom on that day. Therefore the tradition of April Fools was born. News media throughout the country reprinted the Associated Press story. But what the AP reporter who had interviewed Professor Boskin for the story hadn't realized was that Boskin was lying. Not a word of the story was true, which Boskin admitted a few weeks later. Boston University issued a statement apologizing for the joke, and many papers published corrections.
The puzzle that April Fool’s Day presents to cultural historians is that it was only during the eighteenth century that detailed references to it (and curiosity about it) began to appear. But at that time, the custom was already well established throughout northern Europe and was regarded as being of great antiquity.
References to April Fool’s Day can be found as early as the 1500s. However, these early references were infrequent and tended to be vague and ambiguous.Many theories have been put forward about the traditionof this. Unfortunately, none of them are very compelling. So the origin of the “custom of making April Fools” remains as much a mystery to us
By late seventeenth century, April Fool’s Day had definitely spread to Britain.

We can see some April fools Day Pranks from all over the world.
PRANKS

Whistling Carrots 2002:- The British supermarket chain Tesco published an advertisement in The Sun announcing the successful development of a genetically modified 'whistling carrot.' The ad explained that the carrots had been specially engineered to grow with tapered airholes in their side. When fully cooked, these airholes caused the vegetable to whistle

The Skyforest Orange-Bearing Pine Trees1950:- Motorists driving along the scenic Rim of the World highway near Lake Arrowhead in Southern California discovered that the pine and cedar trees lining the road had all grown oranges overnight. The transformation was the work of the residents of the nearby town of Skyforest, led by the cartoonist Frank Adams. They had crept out during the night and strung 50,000 oranges in the trees along a one-mile section of the highway. The fruit was left over from the recent National Orange Show in San Bernardino.

Bombs Away!1915:- On April 1, 1915, in the midst of World War I, a French aviator flew over a German camp and dropped what appeared to be a huge bomb. The German soldiers immediately scattered in all directions, but no explosion followed. After some time, the soldiers crept back and gingerly approached the bomb. They discovered it was actually a large football with a note tied to it that read, "April Fool!"

Flying Penguins 2008:- The BBC announced that camera crews filming near the Antarctic for its natural history series Miracles of Evolution had captured footage of Adélie penguins taking to the air. It even offered a video clip of these flying penguins, which became one of the most viewed videos on the internet. Presenter Terry Jones explained that, instead of huddling together to endure the Antarctic winter, these penguins took to the air and flew thousands of miles to the rainforests of South America where they "spend the winter basking in the tropical sun." A follow-up video explained how the BBC created the special effects of the flying penguins

The Sydney Iceberg1978: A barge appeared in Sydney Harbor towing a giant iceberg. Sydneysiders were expecting it. Dick Smith, a local adventurer and millionaire businessman (owner of Dick Smith's Foods), had been loudly promoting his scheme to tow an iceberg from Antarctica for quite some time. Now he had apparently succeeded. He said that he was going to carve the berg into small ice cubes, which he would sell to the public for ten cents each. These well-traveled cubes, fresh from the pure waters of Antarctica, were promised to improve the flavor of any drink they cooled. Slowly the iceberg made its way into the harbor. Local radio stations provided excited blow-by-blow coverage of the scene. Only when the berg was well into the harbor was its secret revealed. It started to rain, and the firefighting foam and shaving cream that the berg was really made of washed away, uncovering the white plastic sheets beneath.
Must Fly1959:- The residents of Wellingborough, England woke to find a trail of white footprints painted along the main street of their town. At the end of the trail were the words, "I must fly."
Big Ben Goes Digital1980: The BBC reported that Big Ben, in order to keep up with the times, was going to be given a digital readout. The announcement received a huge response from listeners shocked and angered by the proposed change. The BBC Japanese service also announced that the clock hands would be sold to the first four listeners to contact them. One Japanese seaman in the mid-Atlantic immediately radioed in a bid.

Washing the Lions at the Tower of London1860:- Numerous people throughout London received the following invitation: "Tower of London—Admit Bearer and Friend to view annual ceremony of Washing the White Lions on Sunday, April 1, 1860. Admittance only at White Gate. It is particularly requested that no gratuities be given to wardens or attendants." By twelve o'clock on April 1 a large crowd had reportedly gathered outside the tower. But of course, lions hadn't been kept in the tower for centuries, particularly not white liions. Therefore the crowd eventually snuck away disappointed. This prank had a very long pedigree. It had often been perpetrated (on a smaller scale) on unsuspecting out-of-towners, and an instance of it is recorded from as far back as 1698.

World to End Tomorrow:-On March 31, 1940 the Franklin Institute issued a press release stating that the world would end the next day. The release was picked up by radio station KYW which broadcast the following message: "Your worst fears that the world will end are confirmed by astronomers of Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. Scientists predict that the world will end at 3 P.M. Eastern Standard Time tomorrow. This is no April Fool joke. Confirmation can be obtained from Wagner Schlesinger, director of the Fels Planetarium of this city." The public reaction was immediate. Local authorities were flooded with frantic phone calls. The panic only subsided after the Franklin Institute assured people that it had made no such prediction. The prankster responsible for the press release turned out to be William Castellini, the Institute's press agent. He had intended to use the fake release to publicize an April 1st lecture at the institute titled "How Will the World End?" Soon afterwards, the Institute dismissed Castellini

Eiffel Tower Moves:-The Parisien stunned French citizens in 1986 when it reported that an agreement had been signed to dismantle the Eiffle Tower. The international symbol of French culture would then be reconstructed in the new Euro Disney theme park going up east of Paris. In the space where the Tower used to stand, a 35,000 seat stadium would be built for use during the 1992 Olympic Games.
Weeping Lenin:- Over the years numerous statues of the Virgin Mary have been known to miraculously start weeping, but in 1995 an Italian statue of Lenin in the town of Cavriago joined the club. A huge crowd gathered to witness the milky white tears rolling down the statue's metal cheeks. The crowd remained for hours until the tears were eventually revealed to be a prank.

Animals ,Animal Kingdom,About Tiger

A peep into the Animal Kingdom


Aye Aye - aye aye can be found only on the island of Madagaskar.These rare animals may not look like primates at first glance.but they are related to chimpanzees ,apes and humans.They are drak brown or black and are distinguished by a bushy tail that is larger than their body.They are nocturnal and spend the day curled up in a ball like nest of leaves and branches .It employs its long middle finger to take the wood boring insect larvae moving under the bark. This finger is also useful for scooping the flesh out of coconuts and other fruits.Many people consider this animal as an omen of ill luck.So they often have been killed on sight.This endangered aye aye critically.Today they are protected by law.
Red Fox:-Red foxes live around the world in many diverse habitats including forests, grasslands, mountains and deserts. They also adapt well to human environments such as farms, suburban areas and even large communities. Red foxes are solitary hunters who feed on rodents, rabbits, birds and other small game.They also eat fruit and vegetables, fish, frogs and even worms.Like a cat's, the fox's thick tail aids its balance, but it has other uses as well.A fox uses its tail as a warm cover in cold weather and as a signal flag to communicate with other foxes.At birth the red foxes are actually brown or grey.
Ocelot:-Twice the size of the average housecat ,the ocelot is a sleek animal with a gorgeous dappled coat.These largely nocturnal cats use keen sight and hearing to hunt rabbits , rodents , iguanas,fish and frogs.They also stalk monkeys or birds.Unlike many cats ,they donot avoid water and can swim well.They do not have teeth for chewing,so they tear their food to pieces and swallow it as a whole.They live under the leafy canopies of South American rain forests,but they also inhabit brush lands.Their fine fur has made them the target of hunters.
Elephant Seal:-There are two species of elephant seals ,the Northern and southern.Northern elephant seals can be found in california,though they prefer to frequent offshore islands rather than the North American mainland.Southern elephants live in sub antacrtic and antarctic waters that features brutally cold conditions but are rich in fish ,squid and other marine foods.They are the largest of all seals.They got their names from their trunk like inflattable snouts.Males battle each other for mating dominance.Elephant seals were aggressively hunted for their oils and their numbers were once reduced to the brink of extinction.
Next

we can see the amazing things about a tiger
The word tiger derived from the persian word 'Tiger 'meaning arrow.The tiger got its name since it leaps like an arrow released from a bow.Tigers are felines.They belong to the cat family.They are the largest carnivorous mammals.They weigh about 150kgs-200kgs.On an average they measure about 3mts.They are about 90cms in height.Generally tigers are brownish -yellow in colour.It has black stripes on its body.But in Bengal there is a species of 'white tigers' which has black stripes on a white body.White tigers are now reared in several zoos across India.The tiger's 'meal ' consists of deer ,cattle,horses,wild boar etc.They consume about 30kgs of meat at a single meal.A tiger will hide its prey and comsume it only at night.The tigress would wait patiently until the tiger finishes his meal ,before claiming her share,although they might have hunted the prey together.A tiger is wellequipped with sharpfangs,strong jaws and sharp claws.A tiger can leap a distance of 4.5mts to 6.5mnts easily

The tiger does not possess good eyesight.But its sense of hearing is seven times sharper than taht of humansTigers seldom roar.They roar only to scare away other tigers or atrract tigresses.The offspring of a tiger and tigresses is called 'tigon'Tigers may be ferocious beasts,but they permit birds known as swallows to perch on their body and peckout fleas from their ears and fur.
As the tiger grows older ,its body colour and lines tend to fade.Its teeth become yellow.Face turns brownish.The tigers life span is about 20 years.Old or injured tigers may become maneaters if they are unable to hunt down their prey.
India has alarge number of tigers in the worldTigers are poached for their beautiful skin and valuable body parts which are used in preparing 'medicines' wrongly believed to have miraculous properties .Due to this ,tigers face extinction.Project-Tiger in India is trying to prevent this situation .

Insects live everywhere .You will find them everywhere for example an insects lives right at the edge of the Niagra Falls But there is only one place we cannot find insects -Under the ocean because their body cannot survive in salt water .It is said that the average number of insects for each square mile of land equals the total number of people on earth .
Water strider,one insect can walk on water by using its long legs to help distribute its tiny body weight evenly.The weight is distributed over a large area so that the fragile skin formed on the surface of water supports the bug on water.
In the deserts there are different kinds of insects because the insect's body is suitable for desert life. The hard outer covering of an insect called the cuticle is made of a tough substance called as chitin . This covering traps moisture inside the insect's body so that they loose less moisture by evaporation .Water loss while breathing is also kept to a minimum .Most desert insects do not drink at all. They get enough moisture from their food.So, they do not have to spend time finding water holes.A lot of insect eggs are hidden underground.They wait for the rain to hatch,and come out only then At that time ,there are lots of fast growing plants and they have plenty of plants.When they comeout to the surface the baby insects grow and lay eggs quickly.These eggs will wait for the next rains.In that way some desert insects are able to escape from the harsh desert life and come out only when there is rain and food.
The earliest insect does not have wings Instead ,they glided from tree to tree ,using flaps attached to their bodies.Gradually these developed in to the wings.The power for flapping the wings is provided by the strong muscles in the insect's chest.These muscles come together and move apart rapidly ,making the wings move up and down.Other muscles at the base of the wings adjust the angle of each stroke ,thus allowing the insect to fly in the direction it wants to.Some insects have 2 wings ,Others have 4.
The insects use their mouth parts in different ways just like we use different tools for different purposes.Some insects use their mouth parts like cutting pliers ,to chew their food.The leaf cutting bee uses her mouth parts like shears to cut out round bits of rose leaves.Stag beetles use their mouth parts as weapons when they fight.The jaws of insects are used as scoops to gather mud,and as tongs to carry prey.They are used as drill to bore holes,and as a straw to suck blood or nectar,depening upon whether you are a mosquito or a butterfly.The Milkweed bug uses its mouth parts both as a pump to pump saliva into seeds and as a straw to suck up the dissolved food.
The insect's eyes is considered as one of the nature's wonders .If you look at an insect under a microscope ,we can see that it has two large eyes on either side of its head.Each eyesis made up of hundreds of little transparent windows called lenses.Each lens is hexagonal ie, has 6 sides.The outer part of each of these lenses is a complete little eye in itself.Because each eye is made up of many little eyes ,insects is said to have compound eyes.It is very important for their survival.
Insects find their way around depending on taste and smell.They have very fine hairs on their bodies and antennae that are extremely Sensitive ,and these hairs help them find their way around.Many insects communicate with each other by using smell .They can release odours from special scent glands in their body .These odours are called Pheromones .Odours are used for other reasons.For example,ants use odours to mark a trail ,so that other ants can use the trail to get back to the nest or to find food.Ants will follow a trail os scent along the ground using their antennae.They go like a long train ,each following the scent of the ant just before it.If you rub your hand across the trail and brush away thescent The ants wll get totally confused.They will run around in circle until they find he scent again.
Insects breathe,but they donot have lungs like we do.They have a system of tubes called ,Tracheae,instead of lungs.Air passes into the tracheae which branch into smaller and smaller tubes .these tubes finally come to an end in the tissues,where oxygen is taken from the air.They take in Oxygen and expel carbondioxide, through the spiracles of their body.
An insect has a digestive system which consists of a long tube that is coiled and folded to make it fit inside the body.Insects digestive system is divided into 3 parts.the foregut,the midgut and the hindgut manages water balance and excretion.
A world without insects is unimaginable.They play an important role in supporting and maintaining the balance of nature.
