Effect of cut from Rust Iron and Painted Iron

Do rusted iron will surely cause tetanus or it's just a possibility of getting infected by tetanus? And If rusted iron is painted, than the cut with it, will it cause tetanus?



Iron is rusted only whten air and water is mixed in iron. Irons are painted so that it won't get rusted but once it's rusted they are painted after rubbing with hard sand paper (खाक्सी) without which paint don't get attached well in iron.

Tetanus is caused by an bacteria called clostridium tetani and these micro-organism are abundant in any rusted items, So there are many chances that these organism may infect you if you are cut by rusted iron.

If Iron is painted by cleaning with hard sand  paper than you may not be infected by Tetanus but for prevention purpose 1- TT-injection will be a wise act. While deep cut wound may have higher chance for Tetanus and small cut injury can be treated by dettol or savlon wash.

Strike In Nepal //



Strike In Nepal:

Nepal has suffered lots of strikes days from last decade and even earlier. Mainly these strikes are made by political parties for their own shake in the name of social welfare, for providing good endings to country. In Nepal, Strike has been simple method to fulfill the demand of anybody against government or even to compete with other political parties. Strikes are very rough and violent in Nepal, leading to damage of private as well as government property causing lots of economic loss as well as loss of life. We see many Childs and young generation people involved in these strike activities hampering general people lives. Again, according to Human rights, I guess it's Child abuse. We people have suffered this situation frequently. Yet, nobody has taken action against these types of unsocial activities.

Today, in the morning, while going for i walk, a thought came to me, what do Nepal police and army in the strike? Generally controlling the crime activities in society are the main focus of police and army, but in strike, do they really control? Today, there is strike across whole Nepal, and I saw groups of police and army sitting in different points and corners of society. But what exactly are they doing there? Waiting for crime to be committed? It is strike day, and no vehicles are running and shops are open.

It is direct and clear threat to Nepalese police and Army from the political parties to help and support these parties organized strikes. If a man is involved in strike, he/she should be punished. Yes, our police officers and army do that, but why they don't try to avoid strikes? Why they let strikes to succeed? Strike is certainly an activity, not least than crime, that hampers lots of people of daily lives.

Again there comes Authority and Responsibility for police and army officers. If a person of party is arrested, who takes its responsibility? Nobody, because they again have limited authorities which are suppressed by upper Authority, that is, same parties who are forcing for strike.

We people, Nepalese people are waiting for our nation, and our lives to be good from these political parties who are making us suffer. For a simple issue, strikes are held out. Why we are not aware that we are helping for wrong people? 

Recently, People of Bhairahawa (Nepal, Rupandehi District) has initiated there first step against strikes and many people were injured when these people collapsed with people coming for strike. And there is a demand for including punishment rule in constitution, which is very good for minimizing strikes.
As our police and army officers are helping us from rescuing from the harmful activities of strike we need total clearance of strike. And for this, a new generation group has to be formed which will fight against the strike. Different groups from every society has to be involved and a single large group has to be formed working secretly underground.

Brain Tips

** Sleeping in a side position compared to sleeping on one's back or stomach, appears to more effectively remove brain waste and may reduce the chances of developing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and other neurological diseases, according to new research at Stony Brook University.

** Wearing high heels weakens ankle muscles, causing ankle instability and balance problems over time. To strengthen your ankles, perform simple heel lifts- stand barefoot and rise on to your toes repeatedly and heal drops- stand on the edge of a stair and slowly lower your heel over the edge. Slipping off heels while sitting helps restore the normal resting length of the muscles and tendons around the ankles.

** Science has flip-flopped on the health benefits of coffee. But in recent years the prevailing evidence supports the idea that coffee intake is associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease and age-related cognitive decline, as well as a potential protective effect against Alzheimer's disease.

Remove EyeStrain from High usage of PC


Basic Lighting

While you might think that you’re looking at a crisper, more pleasing picture in a dim or otherwise darker environment, you’re just forcing your eyes to work that much harder to process extreme differences in contrast. And a similar situation happens when you set up your screen in a location that creates a ton of glare: not only does your picture look horrible, but all that light mucks up the quality of your picture and forces your eyes to do a lot more refocusing to achieve better clarity.
So if you’re sitting at a computer under fluorescent lights and you aren’t at work, just stop: This kind of overhead lighting is one of the harshest environments for your eyes to deal with.


The best setup? Plain ol’ natural light, best deployed in the form of a window angled perpendicular to your computer screen. You might be tempted to slap your monitor or laptop in front of a huge window to enjoy some scenery while you work, but the brightness of your exterior view could stress your eyes out. You could always use blinds or curtains to limit the amount of light coming in when it’s especially bothersome, but that kind of defeats the point of the view, doesn’t it? When placing your screen perpendicular to your natural light source, you want to make sure that you’re balancing ambience with glare reduction: Angle your display so that extra light isn’t bouncing off your screen. And take some time to play around with your PC setup; a few minutes now will save you countless hours of agony later. Again, blinds or curtains can be an eye-saving device if the sun is really giving you trouble during certain hours of the day.
You’ll want to supplement this natural light (or lack thereof, as the day turns to evening) with artificial lighting. And overhead lighting—even incandescent—still isn’t the best option due to its potential for glare. But you shouldn’t go to the other extreme, either. Resist the urge to purchase the classic “spotlight” desk lamp and slap its narrow cone of light somewhere on your desktop. Remember, you’re also trying to avoid sharp differences in contrast.
You don’t need that much light around a monitor or laptop screen, and what you pick needs only to supply indirect light in a general area around your desk and display. A small lamp on a desk that creates a pleasant diffusion of light behind your display and prevents glare is great; a full-sized floor lamp can also work wonders, provided it physically fits into your particular desk setup. As for bulbs, consider those of the natural light (and low wattage) variety: If you need more brightness, switch to higher wattages or add another light source.

Advanced Lighting

If you’re looking for a setup that looks a little bit cooler than a tiny lamp on your desk—or if your particular desktop setup has no room for any bulkier lighting equipment -- you might want to consider trying out some bias lighting.
You’ve probably seen the concept before, likely on a Philips HDTV with ambient lighting (or as Philips brands it, “Ambilight”). The gist is simple: LED lights attached to the rear of your monitor blast the background with colored light (desktop systems only—unless you really want to silly up your laptop), helping to reduce glare in dimly lit environments, to make your picture appear sharper, and to transform your boring ol’ monitor into a glowing beacon of cool.
As Sound and Vision’s Timothy Seppala describes the benefits of bias lighting, in an interview with Ars Technica, “It works because it provides enough ambient light in the viewing area that your pupils don't have to dilate as far. This makes for less eyestrain when a flashbang gets thrown your way or a bolt of lightning streams across the screen.” Tim actually wrote a great guide to getting the most out of your HDTV for PCWorld that includes some tips on lighting your home theater for optimal movie watching, and you should definitely check it out if you're a serious PC enthusiast seeking to optimize your display.
When it comes to PC building, though, the problem with bias lighting is that few devices and software combinations exist that will allow you to achieve the perfect setup: ambient lighting that changes to match the colors appearing on your screen. We’ve had a lot of luck with Mad Catz’s Cyborg Gaming Lights. They’re a bit pricey at $100, but you get two little lighting modules that contain three LEDs (red, green, and blue) for creating any color you’re looking at.
You just need to plug the lights into two of your system’s free USB ports (after plugging the lights’ power adapter into the wall), stash them behind your monitor, angle the lights up toward the wall, and fire up a software utility. You can then pick the color that you want to live behind your screen or set your lights to slowly rotate through a series of colors. You can also have the lights dynamically switch their appearance based on whatever happens to be on your screen—be it a game, a movie, or a picture.
If you’re looking for a more inexpensive way to build bias lighting into your desktop monitor, you can always pick up Antec’s Halo 6 LED Bias Lighting Kit. For a mere $13, you can slap a strip of six white LEDs to the rear of your display. These lights—or a similar style that you can pick up at your local IKEA (Ledberg or Dioder)—aren’t going to modulate to fit whatever’s on your screen. But at least you’ll be able to reap the benefits of bias lighting without breaking your bank account.
A bias lighting strip that you would attach to the rear of your display.

Beyond Lighting

Other tricks you can employ to reduce the harmful effects of extended computer use on your eyeballs include installing little apps to remind yourself to take a much-needed eye break. Chrome users can grab the extension Gimme a Break! and Firefox fans can hit up the simple Auto Timer extension to schedule some rest time for tired eyeballs. For every 20 minutes you spend staring at a screen, you need only to focus your eyes on something else for 20 seconds -- that’s not so hard, is it?
The software fun doesn’t end there. Odds are good that you’re running your display at fairly high brightness and contrast levels, as monitors are sometimes shipped with factory-default settings that use inordinate amounts of brightness to convince you that the picture is awesome. Not good. You’ll want to fire up the Lagom LCD monitor test pages and use their instructions (or our helpful guide) to set your monitor’s settings to their correct levels. Why blast your eyes with excessively bright light if you don’t have to?
Your monitor’s color temperature can also adversely affect your eyes after prolonged periods of staring. An app like F.Lux (click on the Download link at the top of the site) will automatically adjust your monitor’s temperature to match the time: Cooler lighting during the day, mimicking the temperature of common daylight, and warmer lighting in the evening, when “you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun,” says F.Lux.
Finally, you can also opt for a pair of geektastic computer glasses to help you handle your display temperature situation and reduce screen glare—we’re speaking specifically of Gunnar Optiks’ line of Advanced Computer Eyeware (the company's term, not ours).
Gunnar Optiks claims that its glasses also help increase the moisture within your eyes—a function commonly performed by blinking, which one tends to do much less when focusing on a computer screen. We can’t say whether Gunnar’s glasses turn eyeballs into swimming pools, but we did tend to notice less eye fatigue (and didn’t seem to have the same headaches as before) after a few marathon computing sessions when equipped with its glasses. Their yellow tint does take some getting used to, however!

We Need Your Help. Nepal Earthquake

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-04-26/international-aid-and-rescue-teams-head-to-quake-hit-nepal/6422780


International aid groups and governments have escalated efforts to dispatch rescuers and supplies to earthquake-hit Nepal, but severed communications and landslides in the Himalayan nation posed formidable challenges to the relief effort.

As the death toll passed 1,900 in Nepal the US together with several European and Asian nations sent emergency crews to reinforce those scrambling to find survivors in the devastated capital, Kathmandu, and rural areas cut off by blocked roads and patchy phone networks.

"Roads have been damaged or blocked by landslides and communication lines are down, preventing us from reaching local Red Cross branches to get accurate information," said Jagan Chapagain, Asia Pacific director of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).

The IFRC said it was extremely concerned about the fate of rural villages close to the epicentre of the quake, some 80 kilometres from Kathmandu.

"We anticipate that there will be considerable destruction and loss of life," Mr Chapaign added.

Other aid organisations responding to the emergency also struggled to assess requirements across the nation, and spoke of the fearsome effects of the quake.

"We witnessed terrible scenes of destruction, hospitals were evacuated with patients being treated on the ground outside, homes and buildings demolished and some roads cracked wide open," said Eleanor Trinchera, Caritas Australia Program Coordinator for Nepal.

Although mobile networks appeared to be being restored by mid-afternoon on Sunday, Plan International's Mike Bruce said, coverage remained sporadic.

"People are sleeping on the streets and cooking outside for the most part. And we are talking about very, very poor areas of Nepal — areas that are already suffering a great deal," Mr Bruce said.

The Australian Government said it was organising to send an Australian Crisis Response Team to Nepal as soon as possible.

It has also given $5 million in assistance to Australian NGOs, UN agencies and the Australian Red Cross.

World reaches out with sympathy, resources

US secretary of state John Kerry said the United States was working closely with the Nepal government to provide assistance.

"To the people in Nepal and the region affected by this tragedy we send our heartfelt sympathies," he said.

A US disaster response team was en route to Nepal and an initial $US1 million in aid to address immediate needs had been authorised, the US Agency for International Development said.

Neighbouring India dispatched two military transport planes to help with the rescue and relief efforts as it emerged that at least 53 people had died there from the effects of the massive quake.

There were similar offers from around the region, including Sri Lanka, Pakistan and, further afield, Japan.

China said it had dispatched a 62-member search and rescue team with sniffer dogs and had started work on an emergency humanitarian aid plan, state news agency Xinhua reported.

Chinese state media said 17 people had also been killed by the earthquake in Tibet.

Singapore's government said its Civil Defence Force was to send a 55-man search-and-rescue team while members of country's armed forces would also support the relief efforts with deployment of "suitable resources".

The European Union said its humanitarian experts were heading to the crisis areas.

"The full extent of the casualties and damage is still unknown but reports indicate they will likely be high, both in terms of loss of life, injuries and damage to cultural heritage," an EU statement said.

Others considering what help they could provide included Malaysia, New Zealand and South Korea.

Germany, Britain and Spain also pledged support and assistance, with Norway promising to provide $US3.9 million in humanitarian aid.

British prime minister David Cameron said the earthquake was "shocking news" and vowed his country, which swiftly sent a team of humanitarian experts to Nepal, "will do all we can to help those caught up in it."

Israel also said it was sending an aid delegation to Nepal, including a team of paramedics and doctors.

Charity Christian Aid launched an appeal for funds and said it was working with partner agencies to reach the worst hit areas.
