ആശുപത്രി വിട്ട് സ്വകാര്യവിരുന്നില്‍ ; വയലാര്‍ രവിയുടെ മസ്കത്ത് സന്ദര്‍ശനം വിവാദമാകുന്നു

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
വയലാര്‍ രവി ചികില്‍സ കഴിഞ്ഞ് ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ നിന്ന് ഇറങ്ങുന്നു
മസ്കത്ത്: കേന്ദ്ര പ്രവാസികാര്യമന്ത്രി വയലാര്‍ രവിയുടെ മസ്കത്ത് സന്ദര്‍ശനം വിവാദത്തിലേക്ക്. ദേഹാസ്വാസ്ഥ്യത്തെ തുടര്‍ന്ന് മസ്കത്തിലെ പൊതുപരിപാടിയിലൊന്നും പങ്കെടുക്കാതിരുന്ന മന്ത്രി രാത്രി ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ നിന്നിറങ്ങി ഒരു പ്രമുഖ മലയാളി വ്യവസായിയുടെ വീട്ടിലെ വിരുന്നില്‍ പങ്കെടുക്കാന്‍ പോയെന്നാണ് ആരോപണം. ഇക്കാര്യം അന്വേഷിക്കണമെന്ന് ആവശ്യപ്പെട്ട് ഇടത് അനുകൂല സാംസ്കാരിക സംഘടനയായ 'കൈരളി' രംഗത്തെത്തി. ആശുപത്രിവിടുന്നതിന് രണ്ട് മണിക്കൂര്‍ മുമ്പ് മസ്കത്ത് ഇന്ത്യന്‍ എംബസിയില്‍ നടക്കേണ്ട ഔദ്യാഗിക ചടങ്ങ് ഒഴിവാക്കിയ മന്ത്രിക്ക് പ്രമുഖര്‍ മാത്രം എത്തിയ വിരുന്നില്‍ പങ്കെടുക്കാന്‍ അസുഖം തടസമായില്ലെന്ന് ഇവര്‍ ചൂണ്ടിക്കാട്ടുന്നു.
ഉദരസംബന്ധമായ അസുഖത്തെ തുടര്‍ന്ന് മസ്കത്തിലെ അല്‍റഫ ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ പ്രവേശിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട മന്ത്രി അവിടെ നിന്ന് നേരെ പോയത് വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലേക്ക് ആയിരുന്നില്ലെന്ന് മന്ത്രിയുമായി അടുത്തവൃത്തങ്ങള്‍ 'ഗള്‍ഫ് മാധ്യമ'ത്തോടു പറഞ്ഞു. സ്വകാര്യ വിരുന്നില്‍ പങ്കെടുത്തത് നിഷേധിക്കാനും ഇവര്‍ തയാറായില്ല. വിരുന്ന് നേരത്തേ നിശ്ചയിച്ചതാണെന്നും അവിടെ കാത്തിരുന്നവരെ മുഷിപ്പിക്കാതിരിക്കാന്‍ അവിടെ അദ്ദേഹം മുഖം കാണിക്കുക മാത്രമായിരുന്നുവെന്നുമാണ് വിശദീകരണം. വിരുന്നില്‍ അദ്ദേഹം ഭക്ഷണം പോലും കഴിച്ചില്ലത്രെ. ഈമാസം 13ന് രാവിലെ മസ്കത്തിലെത്തിയ മന്ത്രിക്ക് രാത്രി ഏഴിന് മസ്കത്ത് ഇന്ത്യന്‍ എംബസിയില്‍ മാത്രമാണ് ഔദ്യാഗിക പരിപാടിയുണ്ടായിരുന്നത്.
രാവിലെ ചില ഒമാനി മന്ത്രിമാരുമായി കൂടിക്കാഴ്ച നടക്കുമെന്ന് പറഞ്ഞിരുന്നെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടായില്ല. രാവിലെ മാധ്യമപ്രവര്‍ത്തകരെ കണ്ട് സംസാരിച്ച അദ്ദേഹത്തെ അധികം വൈകാതെ ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ പ്രവേശിപ്പിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു. രാത്രി എംബസിയില്‍ നിരവധി പേര്‍ കാത്തുനില്‍ക്കെ അവസാന നിമിഷമാണ് പരിപാടിയില്‍ പങ്കെടുക്കില്ലെന്ന് അറിയിച്ചത്. മന്ത്രി സന്ദര്‍ശിക്കുന്ന ദിവസം 'കരിദിനം' പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ച കൈരളി പ്രവര്‍ത്തകര്‍ പ്രതിഷേധ സൂചകമായി ഈ ചടങ്ങില്‍ കറുത്ത വസ്ത്രമണിഞ്ഞ് പങ്കെടുക്കുമെന്നറിഞ്ഞ മന്ത്രി മന:പൂര്‍വം ചടങ്ങ് ഒഴിവാക്കുകയായിരുന്നു എന്ന പ്രചരണം ഇതോടെ ശക്തമാവുകയാണ്. രാത്രി ഒമ്പതിന് ആശുപത്രിയില്‍ നിന്നിറങ്ങിയ മന്ത്രി മറ്റൊരു വ്യവസായിയുടെ കാറിലാണ് സല്‍കാരത്തില്‍ പങ്കെടുക്കാനെത്തിയത്. അവിടെ നിന്ന് നേരെ വിമാനത്താവളത്തിലേക്ക് പോയെന്നാണ് വിവരം.
സര്‍ക്കാര്‍ ചെലവില്‍ മസ്കത്തിലെത്തിയ മന്ത്രി സ്വകാര്യചടങ്ങില്‍ പങ്കെടുത്തതിനേയോ, അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്‍െറ രോഗാവസ്ഥയേയോ അല്ല, മറിച്ച് സാധാരണക്കാര്‍ അവരുടെ പ്രശ്നങ്ങള്‍ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ചടങ്ങ് ഒഴിവാക്കി പ്രമുഖരുടെ ചടങ്ങില്‍ അതിഥിയായതിന്‍െറ അനൗചിത്യം ചോദ്യം ചെയ്യപെടേണ്ടതാണെന്ന് ഇന്ത്യന്‍ സോഷ്യല്‍ ക്ളബ് സാമൂഹിക ക്ഷേമവിഭാഗം കണ്‍വീനറും കൈരളി നേതാവുമായ പി.എം. ജാബിര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു.
മന്ത്രിയുടെ ആമനോദ്ദേശ്യം സംശയകരമാണെന്നും പൊതുചടങ്ങ് ഉപേക്ഷിച്ച് സ്വകാര്യചടങ്ങിലെത്തിയ നടപടി പ്രവാസികളെ അവഹേളിക്കുന്നതാണെന്നും കൈരളി ഭാരവാഹികളായ ഷാജി സെബാസ്റ്റ്യന്‍, സുനില്‍കുമാര്‍ എന്നിവര്‍ വാര്‍ത്താകുറിപ്പില്‍ കുറ്റപ്പെടുത്തി. ആന്ധ്രാപ്രദേശിലെ പാര്‍ട്ടി പ്രശ്നവുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട് ബഹ്റൈന്‍, സൗദി എന്നിവിടങ്ങളിലെ സന്ദര്‍ശനം ഒഴിവാക്കിയത് അവിടുത്തെ പ്രവാസി സമുഹത്തെയും നിരാശപ്പെടുത്തിയിരുന്നു.

[www.keralites.net] Basics of First Aid

First aid is the initial medical care administered to a person who is injured or sick until definitive medical care arrives. Preliminary medical care can save the injured or sick person from severe medical trauma and even possible life-threatening situations, working on the concept that "a stitch in time saves nine  
 
Why first aid 
First aid mainly seeks to save life, to prevent further risk and to aid quick recovery. A person trained in first aid can turn into a life saver in various situations. First aid can be administered to a person who has been rescued from drowning to open his respiratory tract and facilitate breathing; it can be administered to victims of accidents in order to stop profuse bleeding until proper medical help arrives. First aid also helps in quick recovery in case of burns as it mainly reduce the tissue damage and helps in facilitate the process of new tissue production.
Common first aid procedures
In many life-threatening situations, it is preferable for the person attempting to give first aid to have professional training. Unfortunately, emergencies do not come with a notice and we are often caught off-guard. Thankfully, there are a few procedures we can sensibly execute without having to undergo professional training.
Bleeding
Heavy loss of blood can cause severe complications and can prove to be fatal if proper first aid is not given.
  • Simple bleeding due to small cuts can be stopped by cleaning the wound and applying a bandage.
  • Deeper cuts, like cuts to veins (which are indicated by dark-coloured blood) can be attended to by applying pressure on the wound and then wrapping the wound tightly with a bandage and cotton. To prevent further bleeding, the pressure on the wound needs to be upheld until proper medical help arrives.
Burns
There are three levels of burns: normal burns (first degree), moderate burns (second degree) and extreme burns (third degree). In each case, first aid plays an important role in relief and speedy recovery.
  • For minor burns (i.e. if the affected area is 3 inches or less), the burned area must be placed under the stream of cool water or in bucket full of cool water. (Never place ice on the wound).
  • Place sterile gauze on the burned area (never use cotton!) to protect the blistered skin and prevent further tissue damage.
  • Give pain killers if the burned person is an adult and is experiencing extreme pain.
  • For third degree burns, do not remove the person's clothing. Cover the burns with a sterile bandage which is cool and moist. Call the nearest hospital for immediate medical help. Every second of delay causes irreversible damage.
Shock 
A shock is a condition in which the person becomes immobile and unresponsive due to profuse bleeding or electric shock. As such, the heart stops beating and subsequently, stops sending blood to brain.
  • To revive the person, he/she should be made to lie on the floor on his/her back, preferably with feet raised in order to facilitate blood circulation to the brain.
  • CPR must be done if the person stops breathing (however, this requires a know-how of mouth-to-mouth breathing)
  • Wrap the person in a blanket and keep him/her warm by rubbing the feet and hands.
  • If the person is vomiting or bleeding from the mouth, tilt the person to one side to prevent choking.
Breathing problems
If a person stops breathing due to water entering the lungs or foreign objects obstructing the respiratory tract (choking), first aid plays an important role in recuperating the person. However, the procedure requires a thorough knowledge of first aid and anybody attempting to administer first aid to such a person should preferably be trained. One faulty step by an amateur can make things worse and prove to be fatal.
  • If there is solid food, foreign object or exces water obstructing the respiratory tract, the "five and five" approach is taken. This involves giving 5 blows to the back (between the person's shoulders blades with the bottom of the palm) and 5 abdominal thrusts (Heimlich manoeuvre). Abdominal thrusts remove respiratory blockage as well as water from the chest cavity in a drowned person. This manoeuvre is done by standing behind the person and wrapping the arms around the person's waist (avoiding the ribs) and tipping the person slightly forward. Make a fist with one hand and place it above the person's navel. Grasp the fist and make upward thrusts, as though lifting the person. These thrusts are made in 5 consecutive cycles and cycles are repeated if the blockage is still present.
  • If the person is unconscious due to suffocation caused by blockage, lower the person on his/her back on the floor and remove the blockage with fingers (care should be taken not to push the blockage deep into airway).
  • After the blockage or water is removed from the chest, an important procedure called Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) should be performed. To perform CPR, place one hand on the chest where the lower ribs meet the breast. Then, place the other hand on top of this one. Start thrusting the chest in an orderly fashion 15 times. Later, tilt the chin up and give 2 slow breaths in the person's mouth. This procedure should continue until the person starts breathing and a pulse is felt.
First aid kit
One does not have to be a medical professional to carry a first aid kit. It is a very important component in every household, office, risk areas like industries, and persona; and public vehicles (cars, buses and motorcycles). Build yourself a first aid kit and make sure you are ready for emergencies, whether they involve you or others. Your kit should have equipment to tackle all injuries and wounds. A typical first aid kit would include adhesive bandages, gauze, low-grade disinfectant and regular strength pain medications.
 
What not to do in first aid
  • First aid is a life saver, but if not performed in the right way, it can result in life-threatening situations.
  • Do not attempt to administer procedures you are not sure of. An emergency is no time to experiment. Do the bare minimum you can and call for medical help.
  • Never apply ointment or butter to a burned skin area. This increases the chances of infection.
  • Never try to stop bleeding using tourniquet; it can cause irreversible damage to the organs present in the vicinity of the bleeding area.
  • Never move anyone who has been injured in a vehicle accident as they might look fine, but might be badly injured internally.
  • Never rub the eye if any sharp object or dust enters the eyes; this may lead to permanent eye damage.
  • Finally, do not cover a wound excessively unless necessary. Wounds heal faster when exposed to fresh air. However, cleaning the wound and applying fresh medications to the wound on a regular basis is extremely important.
Even with professional training, the most important quality required for first aid is the ability to stay calm and work sensibly. The sight of wound and blood and the anxiety caused when someone stops breathing can cause panic and alarm. Tough as it may be, try to maintain composure, failing which sensible first aid cannot be administered.

[www.keralites.net] A Simple Investment that really works

 

 
We do not know what the future holds. A good investment should be able to bring a smile on your lips for having taken the 'right' course in the face of uncertainty. What is this investment?

Equity mutual funds have proven to be profitable long-term investments for individuals. The best part of mutual funds is that you have to just sit back and relax while a team of professional investors does all the research and investing on your behalf. Your money is pooled with many others to take advantage of investments you normally do not have access to. Mutual funds promote good habits of savings and investments. They have protected countless individuals against costly mistakes in the stock markets. It pays to invest in mutual funds because they have a way of spreading your risks into different assets and strategies. Investing in mutual funds helps you in getting you where you want to be.
Are Mutual Funds Risky?
Every type of investment including mutual funds involves some degree of risk. Yes, mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. But, remember, risk does not mean danger—it means not knowing what the future holds. When you invest, you are not managing your today's wealth; it is your future that you are really managing. Whether you like it or not you have to take some amount of risk. For without risk, there is no return. All mutual funds are not equally risky. You have a wide range; from very low risk to very high risk mutual funds to choose from. The investment objective, the investment pattern and its holdings determine how risky your fund is. Higher risks are usually taken with the expectation of earning higher returns. It brings along higher degree of fluctuation or volatility. If your holding period is long enough you can successfully overcome the short-term fluctuations thereby effectively managing the inherent risk. There are different levels of risk to choose from. You just have to figure out the level of risk you can comfortably take and invest accordingly.
Great Potential for Higher Returns
Mutual funds do not guarantee returns. You must invest in mutual funds because they have great potential for generating higher returns for you than something that is guaranteed. Although they do not offer fixed returns, mutual funds have been gaining popularity over the past two decades. Mutual funds have created wealth for retirees, senior citizens and generally cautious investors who seek safer investment options. It pays to invest in mutual funds because they have proven to be profitable long term investments. When investing in a mutual fund you must be sure that the investment period for the mutual funds you choose matches with your investment time horizon i.e. your investment choices in order to achieve your investment goals must match with the time horizon ideally suited for that fund.
Here are six of the things that can make mutual funds work for you.
1.      Have a plan and stick to it
Why should you invest? One of the most compelling reasons is to create lasting wealth for yourself. Investing is essential in getting you where you want to be. How should you go about investing your hard-earned savings? Have a plan and stick to it. Design a portfolio you are not likely to trade. Build a portfolio you can live with. You must have a clear idea of reasonable returns you can expect to achieve over the period of your investments and the level of risk you can comfortably take. As H Stanley Judd said "A good plan is like a road map, it shows you the final destination and usually the best way to get there."
Steadfastly hold on to your investments till you achieve your goals. Investing in absence of an investing policy reduces decision making to an event-driven process of chasing short term results. The absence of a plan steals attention away from your investment objective thereby giving up on the prospects of profitable longer term returns on invested capital. Look before you leap.
2.     Asset Allocation: The secret for wealth creation
How should you balance the risk versus reward equation? Asset allocation is all about spreading your investments across equity, debt and cash in order to suit your risk profile, investment objective and time horizon. Asset allocation is the single most important determinant of your investment success. It is the very foundation for constructing and managing your portfolio. A study of 82 large multi-asset US pension funds found that asset allocation accounted for 91.5% of their portfolio returns.

Please Note: This is historical data for illustration purpose only.
Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.
3.     Returns expectation
Any investment programme is likely to work better if you expect normal and average returns. As Benjamin Graham, one the greatest investors ever said, "To achieve satisfactory investment results is easier than most people realize; to achieve superior results is harder than it looks." It pays to have normal and reasonable expectations from your mutual funds. The biggest pitfall for you as a mutual funds investor is to demand more than average returns from your mutual funds. It is a trap which shall take you down the wrong path with undesirable results. You can happily accept "above average" returns if they were to happen in the course of your investments. But, have a clear understanding that such high returns do not go on forever. Remember, in every mutual fund advertisement the following warning appears. "Past performance is no guarantee of future results." Please believe in it.
4.     Invest, only for the long-term
Mutual funds have proven to be profitable long-term investments. Be ready to commit for five years or more. The odds are against you in the short-term, but, in the long run, time plays a vital role of reducing risk and enhancing your returns. The average long-term experience in investing is never surprising. But, the short-term experience is always surprising. Once you have paid for the risk, it is always a good idea to stay on for the returns. Moreover, as a long-term investor, the "Power of Compounding" is your best friend. (Albert Einstein described it as "man's greatest discovery"). It can most certainly create lasting wealth for you.
5.     Periodically review your portfolio
It pays to periodically review the progress of your mutual funds portfolio against your investment goals. However, it is not advisable to closely monitor your mutual funds on a very frequent basis. Remember, your mutual funds are not going to perform any better just because you are tracking them very closely. But, on the contrary, it is easy to be unnerved by short-term fluctuations. You commit mistakes by taking impulsive decisions.
Frequently chopping and changing works against your investment objective to allow returns to compound over time.
6.     Rebalance your portfolio
Equity funds and debt funds perform differently at different times. Thus the proportion of debt and equity in your portfolio keeps on changing. It pays to rebalance your portfolio by selling the asset class that has done well and buying the asset class which has suffered a price decline in order to restore your asset allocation back to desired levels. Review your asset allocation every six months or once in a year.
Here's wishing you Happy Investing! & Many Happy Returns!!
