MOST UNKNOWN DASHBOARD LIGHTS OF CAR'S

Warning ahead! 99 per cent of Car Owners can't understand their dashboard lights (well, do YOU know what these symbols mean?)

SO JUST DO IT


Agricultural Labourer to CEO

Anila Jyothi Reddy was born in 1970 and she was the youngest among the five girl children in a poor family in India. Due to her family’s financial situation, she was admitted into a welfare orphanage. To get the admission, she had to become a motherless child. It was a heart breaking situation for Jyothi as she could not see her mother during the days when she was in the orphanage. There was nobody to share her happiness and sorrow. Instead of getting down with the situation, Jyothi developed a strong will to make her future bright. She promised herself to work towards creating a better life for her. She learned the way of dealing with life in a hard and practical manner. The hardship taught her the value of life and made her think beyond the situation. - See more at: http://www.allindiadaily.com/2013/08/the-story-of-anila-jyoti-reddy.html#sthash.YnQhrnFJ.dpuf

She attended a government school while at the orphanage and she also took vocational course while residing in the superintendent's house. Jyothi used to help her superintendent with their household work. She realized that to lead a beautiful life, she should get a decent job first. She started thinking for the ways to get into a job.

Jyothi got married at the age of 16 years to her cousin, instead of working on to make her dreams come true. After having 2 children, the situation became even worse as she had to work in the fields for a daily wage of Rs. 5 to take care of her children. These situations made her even stronger to stand and fight for life.

Then came an opportunity in the form of NYK (Nehru Yuva Kendra), a Central Government scheme which sought to create awareness among the youth. She took the opportunity and became a NYK Volunteer and later started teaching. But the money she was making was not sufficient to run the family. She used to stitch petticoats at night to make more money. She also learned typewriting. Apart from her bad financial situation, she also had to fight with family and society to do what she wanted to do. She studied and obtained a BA from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University in 1994 and studied for a postgraduate degree from the Kakatiya University on weekends and obtained it in 1997. This made her get a special teacher job for a salary of Rs. 398 per month. She used to travel for two hours to reach her school. She utilized this time to sell sarees to her co-passengers which gave her some extra income. Her struggle for life made her become conscious about the time and it showed her the ways to utilize the time available creatively. Her job was regularized and she started making decent money. But she did not want to settle for anything, as her passion to reach a higher level always was haunting her to find the next best. A relative's visit from the US made her think about going to the land of dreams, United States. She studied computer courses to get the eligibility to work in the US. She went to US by leaving her two daughters in a missionary hostel.

Struggle to get Foothold :

It was not an easy journey for her to settle in the US. She had to work in a gas station, work as a baby sitter, load/unload goods and work at a video shop for her survival. She then joined a company called CS America as a recruiter with an aid of a close relative. Later she got another offer from a different company, but it did not stay and she had to go back to babysitting and gas station for survival. That was the beginning of her entrepreneurial dreams. She wanted to start her own business and was looking for the suitable line of business to start.

Entry into Entrepreneurial World :

When she visited Mexico for stamping, she realized that she could start a consulting company as she was familiar with the paperwork involved with the Visa Processing. With her savings of $40000, she opened an office in Phoenix in 2011. She has been successfully running her company KEYSS since then. Her two daughters moved to US and completed their education in the American schools.

Social Responsibility :

Her practical experiences with a struggling life made her think about doing her part in helping the people in need. Whenever she visits India, she goes to old age homes, orphanages and provides a helping hand to them. She also visits educational institutes to inspire and empower the future generations.

Self Motives and Tireless Effort :

Today, her next dream to see that every Orphan in India to get his/her own Identity, recognition and enjoy equal opportunity. Towards reaching that goal, she has been interacting and sensitizing various Government agencies, policy makers, politicians as well as Non-Government Organizations. In this direction, she had joined hands with other likeminded NGOs Prajadharana Welfare Society, MV Foundation and Child Rights Advocacy Forum (CRAF) and formed a Pressure Group Force for Orphan Rights and Community Empowerment (FORCE). She has already organized a National Seminar at Hyderabad during December 19 - 21, 2011 and submitted a memorandum to the Central Government. She is also organizing National Consultations for Orphans Rights with Parliament Members (MPs) and other Law Makers from 16 – 21, May 2012 at New Delhi.

Need-based Support to Orphans :

Through such mission, she wants to help and make all young orphans between the age group of 18 - 35 to get financial independence. Using Vocational Training, she intends to train them and enable them become self confident and self-reliant and improve their employ ability.

She is also working on her vision which empowers the rural women with skills and makes them self-sufficient. This is how a girl from a village created her own destiny and went to the top of the world and started helping many. With her children, who are now engineering graduates, married and settled in the US, Jyoti Reddy wants to focus on her dream project which is providing placement and training to 1,000 youth and to start a school that has classes from LKG to PG. Reddy, who is associated with numerous charitable projects, is also an ardent advocate of orphans' rights.

On her words : I want to do much more. Women can also become better businessmen than men by sheer hard work and intelligence, I want to tell women to be economically independent and take their own decisions instead of depending on their fathers, husbands and sons at various stages in life. They keep educational degrees as mere certificates and stop working after marriage unlike in the US. Be the master of your fate and remember, taking care of children is part of life, but not a life.

Story Of Scorpion

STORY -- THE SCORPION

"An old man saw a scorpion drowning and decided to pull it out from the water. He calmly extended his hand to reach the creature. When he did, the scorpion stung him. With the effect of the pain, the old man let go the creature and it fell back into the water. The man realizing that the scorpion was drowning again, got back and tried to rescue it but then again it stung him. He let go of it again.

A young boy standing by, approached the old man and said, "Excuse me Sir, you are going to hurt yourself trying to save the evil-vicious creature, why do you insist? Don't you realize that each time you try to help the scorpion, it stings you?"

The man replied, "The nature of the scorpion is to sting and mine is to help. My nature will not change in helping the scorpion."

So the man thought for a while and used a leaf from a nearby tree and pulled the scorpion out from the water and saved it's life.

MORAL LESSON:
Do not change your nature. If someone hurts you, just take precautions. Some pursue happiness while others create it. Let your conscience be your guide in whatever you do."

Is social media waste of time for youth

Social Media is a waste of time for the youth

Over the past decade, social media or the social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, etc have played a huge role in shaping the lives of youth. The past year has seen several notable revolutions taking place through social media as a platform. On the other hand, it may be argued that social media is a waste of time owing to the fact that the youth mostly use it as a medium to chat or communicate with friends and peers which does not yield any productive result.

Let us have a look at the probable arguments both for and against the topic.

For

-- Majority of youngsters use the social networking sites as a mode of pastime. It does not yield any positive or constructive results. There are around 65 billion users of Facebook from India itself.

-- The addiction of the social networking sites takes a toll on their hobbies such as literature, music, gardening, scientific experiments, etc.

-- The sudden jump in the popularity of the social networking sites has given rise to cyber crimes, as there is lack of privacy and users don’t hesitate to post personal information or photographs in these mediums.

-- With the advent of the social networking sites, the youth concentrate more on updating an event in their profile rather than actually enjoying the occasion.

Now let us see some of the points against the motion.

Against

-- Social networking sites keep the youth well informed and help them form an opinion on the current social, political or international issues.

-- Social media websites are not just a tool for networking but also an important tool of social activism. A Times of India report dated December 26, 2012, quotes a student as saying, "After the recent gang rape in Delhi, I don't just log on to Facebook for fun anymore. Instead, I'm using it as a tool to spread awareness among my friends," proves that it is not just a pastime anymore.

-- Professional networking websites like LinkedIn help the youth connect with probable employers and vice versa.

There are both positive and negative e impacts of social networking websites among the youth. If utilized judiciously, these platforms can be used for something constructive which can be advantageous both personally as well as socially. On the other hand, the negative effects cannot be overlooked as well.

A new layer of the cornea has been discovered in the human eye. The cornea is the clear window at the front of the human eye, and the discovery of the new layer, called Dua's layer after the scientists who found it, could help surgeons dramatically improve outcomes for patients undergoing corneal grafts and transplants. It also means that ophthalmology textbooks will literally need to be re-written.

Papaya Tea for Treating Uric Acid and Gout Problems - Facts Analysis ..........

Story:
Papaya for Uric Acid Problem !!!
Just try it if you've got uric acid after all no harm done. 
This is a really effective, just mix green papaya cubes to the ordinary green tea, my cousin-brother tried and found it very effective.
I have also shared with a friend with gout to try this (his "toe joints" started to deform), after a week of drinking this formula there is significant improvement, and after two weeks the toe joints heal and revert to normal state. It is almost three years now, the joint pain is gone, but he maintains the intake between 1-3 times monthly to avoid relapse. Other friends suffering from years of gout problem have also recovered. It is good for all, even those without gout.

Good formula! Do share with the people in need!

An improved sequence by Professor Lai from the China School of Pharmacy : Cut green papaya into small cubes, place into the water, bring to boil, then add tea leaves, similar to the tea-making process. Clinical tests show that this brings better effects for treatment of gout, subject to frequent drinking of this formula. Read more..

Hoax or Fact:

Fact Analysis:
The message claims that Papaya when taken as a preparation of Green tea can cure Uric acid and Gout related health problems. It is a fact.
Uric Acid and Gout Problems

The condition of excess of uric acid built up in our blood is called Hyperuricemia and can lead to various health problems like kidney stones and Gout. Gout is a complex form of arthritis, where the affected joints become very tender, hot, inflammed, swollen and painful.
Papaya for Uric Acid and Gout Problems

Green Papaya is a good source of vitamins A, C, E and K. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, folate and potassium, and is rich in an enzyme called Papain that breaks down tissues effectively. Papain helps in breaking down complex proteins and helps the body maintain an alkaline state, thereby preventing the uric acid to build up. Traditionally, papaya is mixed with tough meat like mutton and beef to make it tender, soft and easy to digest. The Papain in Papaya has an anti-inflammatory virtue which greatly reduces the inflammation associated with gout and other diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and also asthma. Moreover, papaya intake will help our body assimilate the maximum nutritional benefit from the food we eat.

Therefore, as mentioned in the message, Papaya can be used in many ways to treat uric acid and gout related problems. And yes, it can also be taken as a preparation with Green tea - this will also give your body the necessary anti-oxidants to fight those health conditions.

However, it is also important to remember that having too much of green papaya can be corrosive to your body. Also, when you want to take it with Green tea, it is advisable to consult your physician first, especially when you are on medication for gout or uric acid problems.

IBS HYDERABAD SHINING B SCHOOLS OF INDIA


INVEST WITHOUT EMOTIONS

It‘s an oft repeated maxim among salesmen that people buy emotionally and justify logically. This is exactly why most equity portfolios are filled with stocks that were once the darling of the media (*cough* CNBC *cough*) or something that the broker once had a ―hot tip‖ on. And having started wrong, investors often stay wrong. Due to the emotional pain involved in taking losses, investors often hang onto stocks that are dropping in value for too long. Having seen legions of investors go through the same meatgrinder again and again, we decided that it is time Indian equity investors had an alternative. We first went about filling the most obvious holes that existed in the tools available to Indian retail investors to effectively manage risk in their portfolios. Our online portal, StockViz, now offers trailing-stop-loss alerts (for the first time in India), along with shifting price-based alerts (for example: 2% below yesterday‘ s close), a live heat map of the portfolio (that shows concentration of risk), pre-set technical filters, news alerts and daily P&L reports to help investors stay on top of their portfolio. Once we had the tools we needed, we set out to create an algorithmic portfolio management system, which once deployed, would automatically rebalance the investors‘ portfolio towards profitable positions. The algorithm should: Pick the right stocks Manage position sizing Manage risk Exit at the appropriate time The data and the analysis for each of the steps outlined above would be different for different risk scenarios. For example, for the short-term trader, #1 could be trend detection, whereas for the medium-term investor, #1 could be momentum based. However, the underlying thesis is the same: over the same timeperiod, a systematic, repeatable and testable process is any day better than a human making decisions, no matter how high his or her IQ could be. We then brought them all together in the form of a Quantitative Portfolio Strategy Execution service where we deploy the algorithm to manage client portfolios. We have but only scratched the surface of what we set out to do. Our long term vision is to democratize and simplify systematic, process driven investment. ABHISHEK PREETAM BATCH OF 2010 IBS HYDERABAD
