swine flu

What is Swine Flu?

 

Swine Flu is a respiratory disease, caused by a strain of the influenza virus known as H1N1. Although, H1N1 is the same strain that causes seasonal outbreaks of flu in humans, the latest type is different as it is a mutated version containing genetic material that is generally found in strains of the virus that affect humans, birds and swine (pigs).

What has happened this time is that the flu viruses from humans and pigs have swapped genetic components with each other, and evolved into a completely new variety – Hence the absence of any concrete treatment plan for it.

Although the strain may have originated in pigs, it is now a wholly human disease and is being transmitted person-to-person.

There are many different types of swine flu and like human flu, the infection is constantly changing. Swine flu does not normally infect humans, although sporadic cases do occur usually in people who have had close contact with pigs. There have also been rare documented cases of humans passing the infection to other humans. Human to human transmission of swine flu thought to spread in the same way as seasonal flu – through coughing and sneezing.

The outbreak in Mexico, which has now spread to most parts of the world seems to involve a new type of swine flu that contains DNA that is typically found in avian and human viruses. The World Health Organization has confirmed at least some of the cases are caused by this new strain of H1N1.

Swine Flu virus is genetically different from the fully human H1N1 seasonal influenza virus that has been circulating globally for the past few years. It contains DNA that is typical to avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses.

 

 

Symptoms and Precautions

The first symptoms of swine flu are fever (greater than 100°F or 37.8°C), sore throat, body ache and fatigue. Some patients have also complain about running nose diarrhoea and vomiting.

Persons who have travelled overseas recently should be extra cautious and seek medical help immediately if they have these symptoms.

But these symptoms alone would not suggest that a person is infected by Swine Flu, as it can be confirmed only after testing a respiratory specimen, that's taken from the suspected case within the first four to five days.

So it is important to seek medical help if one feels that he/she has flu.

As the flu is now spreading by people-to-people to contact, the infection primarily spreads when a person comes in close contact with an infected person. The simple way to minimise the risk is by covering the mouth and nose while coughing and sneezing and wearing a mask while going close to the infected person.

Maintaining high level of hygiene is also important and one should always wash hands frequently with soap and water.

Since influenza spreads through both air and contact with contaminated surfaces, surface sanitizing may help prevent some infections. For that alcohol is an effective sanitizer, bleach can also be used to sanitize rooms or equipment that have been occupied by patients with influenza symptoms.

People with the flu are advised to get plenty of rest, drink plenty of liquids, avoid using alcohol and tobacco and, if necessary, take medications such as paracetamol (acetaminophen) to relieve the fever and muscle aches associated with the flu.

However, the best way would be to get in touch with your doctor, who can help you get the right treatment.

Preventive medications are not advisable as it may lead to the development of resistance to the only known effective drug Tamiflu – the government of India has adequate stock of the drug.

Is Swine Flu Treatable?

Swine flu can be treated if caught very early with two of the anti-viral medications oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Tamiflu is for treatment in adults and children aged 1 year and older, and must be taken within 48 hours of the first symptom.

 There are currently 4 types of antiviral drugs that are licensed for use in the US for the treatment of influenza: Amantadine, Rimantadine, Oseltamivir and Zanamivir.

While most swine influenza viruses have been susceptible to these drugs, the most recent swine-flu viruses isolated from humans, are resistant to Amantadine and Rimantadine. None of these drugs prevent us from getting the virus, but can lesson the severity of the symptoms and shorten their duration.

While you can get yourself tested at private laboratries, treatment is being given only in Government hospitals for now.

CV, Resume and Bio Data: Details and differences

 

CV, Resume and Bio Data: Details and differences

Difference among CV Resume and Bio Data

People use the words RESUME, C.V., and BIO-DATA interchangeably for the document highlighting skills, education, and experience that a candidate submits when applying for a job. On the surface level, all the three mean the same. However, there are intricate differences.

RESUME

Resume Is a French word meaning "summary", and true to the word meaning, signifies a summary of one's employment, education, and other skills, used in applying for a new position. A resume seldom exceeds one side of an A4 sheet, and at the most two sides. They do not list out all the education and qualifications, but only highlight specific skills customized to target the job profile in question.
A resume is usually broken into bullets and written in the third person to appear objective and formal. A good resume starts with a brief Summary of Qualifications, followed by Areas of Strength or Industry Expertise in keywords, followed by Professional Experience in reverse chronological order. Focus is on the most recent experiences, and prior experiences summarized. The content aims at providing the reader a balance of responsibilities and accomplishments for each position. After Work experience come Professional Affiliations, Computer Skills, and Education

C.V CURRICULUM VITAE

C.V Is a Latin word meaning "course of life". Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) is therefore a regular or particular course of study pertaining to education and life. A C.V. is more detailed than a resume, usually 2 to 3 pages, but can run even longer as per the requirement. A C.V. generally lists out every skills, jobs, degrees, and professional affiliations the applicant has acquired, usually in chronological order. A C.V. displays general talent rather than specific skills for any specific positions.

BIO DATA

Bio Data the short form for Biographical Data, is the old-fashioned terminology for Resume or C.V. The emphasis in a bio data is on personal particulars like date of birth, religion, sex, race, nationality, residence, martial status, and the like. Next comes a chronological listing of education and experience. The things normally found in a resume, that is specific skills for the job in question comes last, and are seldom included. Bio-data also includes applications made in specified formats as required by the company.

A resume is ideally suited when applying for middle and senior level positions, where experience and specific skills rather than education is important. A C.V., on the other hand is the preferred option for fresh graduates, people looking for a career change, and those applying for academic positions. The term bio-data is mostly used in India while applying to government jobs, or when applying for research grants and other situations where one has to submit descriptive essays.


Resumes present a summary of highlights and allow the prospective employer to scan through the document visually or electronically, to see if your skills match their available positions. A good resume can do that very effectively, while a C.V. cannot. A bio-data could still perform this role, especially if the format happens to be the one recommended by the employer. Personal information such as age, sex, religion and others, and hobbies are never mentioned in a resume. Many people include such particulars in the C.V. However, this is neither required nor considered in the US market. A Bio-data, on the other hand always include such personal particulars.

நாடோடிகள் - சில பகிர்வுகள்

நாடோடிகள் - சில பகிர்வுகள்

வெகு நாட்களுக்கு பிறகு தூத்துக்குடியில் உள்ள திரையரங்கில் படம் பார்க்க சென்றிருந்தேன். கூட்டம்
நிரம்பி வழிந்தது. படம் ஆரம்பித்து ஒவ்வொரு காட்சிக்கும் விசில் பறந்தது. இவ்வளவு ஆரவாரமும் 
உற்சாகமும் படம்பார்ப்பவர்களிடம் தொற்றிக்கொண்ட காரணம் என்ன என்று எண்ணியபோது கிடைத்த விடைகள் இரண்டு.
ஒன்று நட்பு. மற்றொன்று சுப்பிரமணியபுரத்தின் வெற்றிநாயகன் சசிக்குமார். சசிக்குமார் தோன்றும் காட்சிகளிலும் நட்பை
பற்றி அவர் பேசும் வசனங்களின்போதும் தியேட்டர் அதிர்கிறது.

காதலால் நட்பிற்கு ஏற்படும் வலியையும்,இதுவரை தமிழ் சினிமாவில் காட்டப்படாத பக்கங்களையும் திரையில்
செதுக்கியதற்காகவே இயக்குனரை எவ்வளவு வேண்டுமானாலும் பாராட்டலாம்.

வெயில்,பருத்திவீரன்,சுப்பிரமணியபுரம்,பூ,பசங்க வரிசையில் நாடோடிகளும் தனித்து நிற்கும் ஒரு திரைப்படம்.
வெகு இயல்பான யதார்த்த நடிப்பில் அசத்தி இருக்கிறார்கள் ஒவ்வொரு நடிகர்களும்.
எப்பொழுதும் எதையாவது தின்று கொண்டே இருக்கும் கதாநாயகி,டிசர்ட்டும் தாவணியும் அணிந்தலையும்
கதாநாயகனின் தங்கை,மகனின் காதலுக்கு உதவும் அப்பா,நான்கைந்து கைத்தடிகளுடன் சுற்றித்திரியும் உள்ளூர்
மைனர்,அரசாங்க வேலை மேல் உயிரையே வைத்திருக்கும் கதாநாயகியின் அப்பா,உள்ளாடையை அசால்டாக
தலையில் கவிழ்த்துக்கொண்டு பிச்சு உதறி இருக்கும் 'பாண்டி', சித்தி முன்பு அடித்துவிட்டு அவர் சென்ற பின் கலங்கி துடிக்கும் பாண்டியின் அப்பா, காதலுக்கு மிக முக்கிய உதவி செய்யும் "பைக்" நண்பனின் மெளனம்(ஒரு வார்த்தைகூட பேசாமல் எப்போதும் சுயீங்கம் மென்று கொண்டிருப்பார்),கதாநாயகனின் பாட்டி,படத்தின் முக்கிய காட்சிகளில் ஒலிக்கும் 'சிவசம்போ' இப்படி படம் முழுவதும் நிறைகளையே தாங்கி நகர்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு கதாபாத்திரங்களும் ஏதேனும் ஒருவகையில் மனதோடு நெருக்கமாகிவிடுகிறார்கள். 

முதல் பாதியில் வயிறு வலிக்க சிரிக்க வைக்கும் நாடோடிகள் இடைவேளைக்கு பிறகு மனதை பிழிந்துவிடுகிறார்கள். கதாநாயகியை பிரியும் தருணத்தில் அவர் அப்பாவிடம் "உங்க நேர்மை எனக்கு பிடிச்சிருக்கு மாமா" என்று சொல்லும்போதும்
"நீ வலிச்சாலும் வலிக்கலன்னுதாண்டா சொல்வ" என்று பாண்டி சொல்லும் காட்சியிலும் கலங்க வைத்துவிடுகிறார் சசி.

கிளைமாக்ஸில் "தமிழ்சினிமா"வாகி விடுவார்களோ என்கிற பயத்தை அடித்து நொறுக்கி ஒரு புன்முறுவலோடு நம்மை
வழி அனுப்புகிறார்கள்.

நாடோடிகள் - ஒவ்வொரு நண்பனும் பார்க்கவேண்டிய திரைக்காவியம் - சமுத்திரக்கனிக்கும் அவர் குழுவிற்கும் நெஞ்சார்ந்த வாழ்த்துகளும்,நன்றிகளும்.

The old carpenter....

"Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result." This is a story of an elderly carpenter who had been working for a contractor for the past 53 years. He had built many beautiful houses but now as he was getting old, he wanted to retire and lead a leisurely life with his family. So, he goes to the contractor and tells him about his plan of retiring. The contractor feels sad at the prospect of losing a good worker but agrees to the plan because the carpenter had indeed become too fragile for the tough building work. But as a last request, he asks the old carpenter to construct just one last house. The old man agrees and starts working but his heart was not in his work any more. He had lost the motivation towards work. So, he resorted to shoddy workmanship and constructed the house half-heartedly. After the house was built, the contractor came to visit his employee's last piece of work. After inspecting the house, he handed over the front door keys to the carpenter and said, "This is your new house. My gift to you." The carpenter was shocked and upset. Had he known that he was building his own house, he would have done a better job! Now, he would have to live in the house, which is not worth staying. Think of yourself as the carpenter. You work hard every day but are you giving your best? We put our least to the work we don't like or do not have interest in. Later, we get shocked at the situation we have created for ourselves and try to figure out why we didn't do it differently. Enjoy your tasks and carry on your responsibilities with pleasure and not with pain. "Life is a do-it-yourself project". Do your job enthusiastically and with devotion, a positive output and a pleasing life will certainly be on your way.
