Swimming tips for the beginners!!

1. Breath support and rhythm

While swimming in the water, breathe out on the outside. Many times when people carry out the surface of the water, then the process of exhalation is carried out inside. The advantage of leaving the breath out in the water is that you can take the breath inwards on the outside of the head. Count your strokes. This will help you to make a permanent rhythm and to adjust the length of your stroke. Keep your head straight in your spine and try to make your body aerodynamic by looking at the bottom.

2. Hands & Feet:

Keep hands and feet as much as possible with your feet. When you take your head out to take a breath, then touch the big toe of both feet together. Keep your watch high while taking strokes. Try to complete the whole stroke quickly. In the beginning, complete the first five strokes firmly, and then keeping the rhythm, put a little less effort into the other five strokes. Gradually increase the number of strong strokes after every patience training.

3. Form Training:

Prepare yourself by rotating 50 meters after 25 meters and then. Three times, take 25 meter rotation in mind and think about how much stretching in your right shoulder during stroke. You can also get help from Bridge Boy for this. After that, try to keep the 25-meter rotation three times in mind and remember how much stretching in your left shoulder during the stroke.After that, take 25 meters of rotation three times in mind and keep in mind whether your kick in the water is affecting. When you are working on cutting your knees, keep the stroke's pull short but keep the fullness of the stroke. Make yourself calm by repeating the practice that prepares yourself. After three to four weeks you will be able to do this practice well. At that time, you can increase your circling from 25 meters to 150 meters.

4. Patience Maintaining Training:

Prepare yourself by rotating one 25 meters and another 50 meters. Take two wheels in mind with your drag and stroke. Keep in mind your kick kick in two more dizzying waters. Start swimming with a stairway exercise of 25 meters, then increase it to 50, then 75 and finally 100 meters.
Reduce your swim to 75, 50 and finally bring it to 25 meters and keep in mind that there is some rest in between. Slowly do the exercises that are ready for swimming to calm down. Once you start this ladder exercise easily, decrease your leisure time by increasing the round in the distance of 25 meters.


Happy Swimming :)

WHAT IS H2S GAS???

Hydrogen sulfide is a chemical compound with the formula H2S, and is often a colorless gas with a rotten egg odor, commonly referred to as "sewer gas"

H2S is:

• Heavier than air
• Very poisonous
• Corrosive
• Flammable
• Explosive

Health Hazards

Hydrogen sulfide gas causes a wide range of health effects. Workers are primarily exposed to hydrogen sulfide by breathing it. The effects depend on how much hydrogen sulfide you breathe and for how long. Exposure to very high concentrations can quickly lead to death.

What is Dengue?

Dengue (pronounced den' gee) is a viral disease. 

• Dengue can be caused by infection with any one of four closely related dengue viruses.

• DENV 1, DENV 2, DENV 3 or DENV 4.

How does it spread?

The dengue viruses are transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected Aedes mosquito.

Characteristics of the Aedes Mosquito:

•One distinct physical feature (black and white stripes on its body and legs) hence also called as ‘Tiger mosquito’.

•Bites during the day.

•Lays its eggs in clean, stagnant water.

Did you know? 

•Only the female Aedes mosquito bites as it needs the protein in blood to develop its eggs.

•The mosquito becomes infective approximately seven days after it has bitten a person carrying the virus.

•Once infected, a mosquito remains infective for life and passes on the virus to the eggs it lays.

•Peak biting time is at dawn and dusk – 2 hours after sunrise and 2 hours before sunset.

Aedes mosquito: Fast facts:

•Adult mosquitoes “usually” rests indoors in dark areas (closets, under beds, behind curtains).

•They have limited flight range – can fly an average of 400metres looking for water-filled containers to lay

their eggs. This means that people, rather than mosquitoes, rapidly move the virus within and between communities and places.

•A few mosquitoes per household can produce large dengue outbreaks. The dengue mosquito does not lay eggs in ditches, drainages, canals, wetlands, rivers or lakes.

•     The mosquito life cycle, from egg to larvae, pupae, and to an adult mosquito, takes 8 days and occurs in water.

•     Humans develops disease after 5 – 6 days of being bitten by an infective mosquito.

What can you do to reduce risk of acquiring dengue?

PROTECT YOURSELF FROM MOSQUITO BITES

•Dengue mosquitoes bite during the day time. Highest biting intensity is about 2 hours after sunrise and before sunset.

•Wear full sleeves clothes and long dresses to cover as much of your body as possible.

•Use repellents, mosquito coils, electric vapor mats during the daytime also to prevent dengue.

•Use mosquito nets to protect children, elderly and others who may rest during the day.

Clinical description : Dengue fever (classical) An acute onset high fever of 2-7 days duration with 2 or more of the following manifestations:

Headache (often severe)

Retro-orbital pain (severe eye pain behind eyes)

Myalgia (muscle pain) 

Arthralgia (joint pain)

Rash 

Hemorrhagic manifestations: nose or gum bleed, easy bruising

What to do if you think you have dengue

Bed rest- acute phase 

Cold sponging for reducing fever 

X Avoid aspirin, brufen etc – these can cause gastritis, vomiting, platelet dysfunction

Paracetamol is preferable for fever management.

Oral electrolyte therapy: for excessive sweating, vomiting

•Avoid mosquito bites

–wear full sleeves; Place patient under bed net or use insect repellent on the patient while they have a fever, Put screens on windows and doors to prevent mosquitoes from coming into house.

•Consult a physician.

TAKE PLENTY OF FLUIDS

‘Hot food in plastic bags can cause cancer’

The number of people suffering from kidney and throat ailments, cancer and infertility has been increasing in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. The rise in such cases is attributed largely to people eating hot foods carried in plastic bags.

Everyday, hundreds of patients affected by polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene and polystyrene because of eating hot foods carried in plastic bags are visiting King George Government Hospital (KGH) here.

These patients are from towns, villages and even tribal areas of the North Coastal districts of AP and neighbouring Chhattisgarh and Odisha states.

“In the last two years, the number of patients suffering from kidney and throat cancer and infertility has been increased markedly at the KGH, said hospital superintendent Dr M Madhusudan Babu. The patients had been consuming tea, coffee, milk, rice and curries carried in plastic bags.

Plastic poses serious environmental problem. The plastic bags used for packing food are very dangerous as they contain polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, he said.

“If a person eats food items carried in plastic bags for a long period, he or she is very likely to get serious health problems,” he said, adding thousands of patients affected by polyvinyl chloride come to the hospital for treatment regularly.

The prolific use of plastic bags in our daily life has also led to environmental hazards as plastic bags are not biodegradable, he said. When hot food is packed in plastic, chemical exchange between plastic and food is maximised by high temperature and the nature of the food, he said.

Certain plastic bags may cause chemical filtration into the food. Those chemicals include styrene and bisphenol- A which can cause cancer, heart diseases and reproductive problems.

Toxins could migrate from the plastic to the substances they hold. The most common food interactions are the migration of low molecular weight substances such as stabilisers, plasticisers, antioxidants and monomers from plastic packing materials, he said.

He said water in plastic containers is also unfit for human consumption because the containers are usually exposed to direct sunlight when they are loaded onto trucks.

“The Government has to take steps to control the problem and conduct awareness programmes against the use of plastic bags for food items,” he said.

What is carpet area, built-up area & super built-up area?

Carpet area is the area enclosed within the walls, actual area to lay the carpet. This area does not include the thickness of the inner walls

Inaccurately reported square footage is the subject of numerous complaints by home buyers. A small percentage of cases involve giving incorrect information, but a larger number of complaints occur simply because agents and sellers don't know how to measure a home's square footage.

How do you know whether the price of the home per sq. ft. you are buying is reasonable?

Though this seems like an easy question, it is not as simple as it sounds. Keep in mind that much more goes into the market value of a house than its square footage. For example, two houses next door to each other can have the same square footage. But one house can have two bathrooms while the other can have one bathroom. So the previous will cost you more.

What is meant by carpet area, built-up area and super built-up area?

Carpet area is the actual usable area of an apartment, office unit, showroom, etc minus wall thickness. Carpet area is the area enclosed within the walls, actual area to lay the carpet. 

This area does not include the thickness of the inner walls.

Built-up area is the carpet area plus the thickness of outer walls and the balcony. 

Super built-up area is the built up area plus proportionate area of common areas such as the lobby, lifts shaft, stairs, etc. The plinth area along with a share of all common areas proportionately divided amongst all unit owners makes up the super built-up area.

How can knowing the above terms help me in buying a flat?

This break up is extremely essential as builders can place anywhere from 65%-85% of the super built-up area as carpet area. That means, if the price is quoted as Rs. 1,000 per sq ft super built-up area, the carpet area could be anywhere from Rs. 650 per sq ft to Rs. 850 per sq ft. If this break up is not mentioned in the agreement, demand that the vendor/ builder mention it in the sale deed.

5 Ways to Get Rid of Ants Naturally Without Killing Them

Ants are critical to the environment in too many ways to count, but they quickly become pests when they invade your home seeking food, shelter, or both. Nobody wants an ant invasion, and often times will reach for intense chemicals to eradicate them as quickly as possible. Pest control is one aspect of daily living in which people accept some of the scariest chemicals into their homes, numb to warnings stamped on the packaging-“Don’t inhale!” “Don’t touch!” “Call poison control if you make any direct contact with this substance!” “Potentially harmful!” “Actually what we mean is it will kill you!” Well, you get the point. If something needs detailed instructions plus a hotline number for 24 hour emergency assistance (human or animal) or chemical emergency assistance, I don’t want it in my house. What you have to think is-if this is going to obliterate the pests (in this case, ants) won’t it be harmful to anyone and everything else? Yes. It will. But what nature brought forth is can also turn away, so read on about how to get rid of ants naturally.

1. Bust Out The Vinegar, Baby

Ants communicate with each other using sounds, touch, and-the golden ticket here-pheromones. The pheromones are chemical signals. Scent trails, in essence. Ants perceive smells with their antennae, and can determine direction and intensity of scents. If a forager ant finds food, it marks a trail leading back to the colony, which the other ants than follow to the source of the food. Each time the trail is traveled, the smell is intensified. By using white vinegar by all of their entrances and any paths that you know of, you are disrupting their scent trails and making it harder for them to creep back to the food source they’ve been invading.

You will need…

- 1 part white vinegar
- 1 part water
- A clean cloth

Directions

Mix together white vinegar and water, and spray/wipe down all of the entrances you know or suspect they may be getting in by, and spray/wipe down all counters or surfaces by food sources.

2. Draw The Line

Have you ever noticed outside in the summer the way ants and sidewalk chalk just don’t seem to mix? That’s because they don ‘t. Ants that stumble through chalk get covered in the stuff, while some people suggest minerals in the chalk (such as talc) actually kill the ants.

You will need…

- A stick of sidewalk chalk

Directions

Draw a thick, heavy line around entrances-repeat as needed. This generally needs to be used in conjunction with another method of elimination.

3. The Ant Honey Pot

How to get rid of ants…are you focusing too much on the “get rid of” part? Have you done everything you can to exterminate the ants, but it’s just not working? If eliminating them isn’t doing the trick, try diversion. No, you don’t want to attract the ants to your house, but if a colony has set up camp, diversion can sometimes be the way to go. Once they’ve decided the honey pot you lay out is better than that hard to reach food you’ve locked up, it’s easier to lay something to deter them from coming back in. After you’ve got their scent trails cleaned up, food sealed tightly, and some kind of deterrent by the entrances, they aren’t nearly as apt to coming marching in again. Even if they try, they’re going to find you’ve made it a lot harder by then!

You will need…

- A small paper bowl
- A few tablespoons of honey OR a 1-1 mixture of sugar and water

Directions

Place a little paper bowl with the honey outside, a little ways from your house but not so far that the ants won’t find it. Once they find the sweet stuff, they will happily go to that, rather than try to battle their way into your house. You can also mix some sugar and water and spray it on the ground if you find the honey ineffective. Once they have discovered the pot, move it a little bit at a time further and further away from the house, refilling and refreshing it as needed.

4. Essential Oil Entrance Blocker

Ants don’t like strong smells. They mess up their scent trails and communication, not to mention it covers their bodies if they literally have to crawl right through it-which they do, with this essential oil spray. Now you can really experiment with different oils, or blends of oils, and see what works best for you and your ants. For me, peppermint or eucalyptus usually does the trick. Regardless of what method I am using to get rid of ants, I always whip up a batch of this spray to further ensure success.

You will need…

- 20 drops of peppermint essential oil
- Fresh water
- A spray bottle

Directions

Fill a regular or medium size spray bottle with fresh water and mix in the peppermint essential oil. Spray liberally around any and all entrances to the house. Repeat when you deem it necessary (usually when the scent starts to fade.)

5. Ant Balls

If you find that spraying a solution of essential oil and water doesn’t work, it’s time to bust out the ant balls. The cotton balls serve as an extra barrier to keep the ants out of the home, while the undiluted essential oil will steer the ants clear at least 90% of the time. Be sure not to leave these where you think a curious pet or child would find them an appealing snack. If you don’t have essential oil, you can try using white vinegar in a pinch.

You will need…

- Cotton balls
- Peppermint essential oil OR undiluted white vinegar

Directions

Liberally douse the cotton balls with undiluted peppermint essential oil. I usually put the oil in a dish first so I don’t accidently drip it all over my fingers. Alternatively, soak the ball in undiluted white vinegar, squeezing out just enough excess that it doesn’t leave a puddle where you place it. Use one of the cotton balls to wipe down the area by the entrance, and then stuff another into the crack/hole/almost invisible opening that they are sneaking in through. Refresh as needed.

6. When Push Comes to Shove

I don’t like to kill anything-I am the person that will rescue an ant if I see it floundering about in the water-but sometimes, you have no choice. For example, if you have a nest of fire ants and a baby crawling around-there was even been an instance where the venomous stings of a fire ant colony almost killed a 13 year old boy. In this case, the non-toxic way to eradicate the ants is with soap and boiling water. It’s unfortunate, but sometimes there are simply other things you need to protect.

You will need…

- A medium pot’s (or bucket’s) worth of boiling water
- 1 cup of liquid dish soap

Directions

Fill a medium pot with water, leaving enough room at the top that you can carry it without it sloshing over the edge. Bring it to a vigorous boil, and quickly stir in the dish soap (use an environmentally friendly dish soap that is biodegradable.) Put the lid on the pot to retain heat and minimize the risk of it spilling, and use hot mitts to carry it out to the nest. Pour the water into the nest, slowly enough so that it doesn’t overflow. If you are aware of another entrance, and are worried about the ants going up into the yard, you can place a barrier over one of the entrances. Repeat the process as needed if you run out of water (really, once is usually sufficient.)

How does food affect our brain?

Almost everything you choose to consume will directly or indirectly affect your brain. Obviously, some things we consume affect us more than others. I'm going to assume that spices, plants, animal parts, drugs of any kind, coffee, tea, nicotine and chocolate are all just food and define food as anything we take into our bodies whether it's nutritious or not. In order to better understand how foods affect the brain it will be helpful to divide them into three categories.

First, those foods we consume in high doses with acute dosing: for example, coffee, sugar, heroin, alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, some spices and a few psychoactive plants and mushrooms. Their effects are almost immediate and depend upon how much reaches the brain. In this class, the most important consideration is getting enough of the chemical from within the food to its site of action in our brain to actually produce some kind of effect that we can notice and associate with consuming that particular food. Most of the time, this simply does not happen. For example, consider nutmeg: low doses will be on pies next month and most of us will not notice that it contains two chemicals that our bodies convert into the popular street drug Ecstasy. Yet, if we consumed the entire canister of the spice our guts will notice (with a terrible diarrhea) and there is a good chance that we will hallucinate for about 48 hours! According to my students, the experience is quite unpleasant.

Secondly are those foods that affect our brain slowly over a period of a few days to weeks. This is usually called "precursor-loading" and would include many different amino acids (tryptophan and lysine are good examples), carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index such as potatoes, bagels and rice, fava beans, some minerals (iron and magnesium in particular), lecithin-containing products such as donuts, eggs and cakes, chocolate and the water-soluble vitamins. Their purpose is to bias the function of a specific transmitter system; usually to enhance its function in the brain. For example, scientists once thought that drinking a glass of warm milk before bed or eating a large meal of protein made us drowsy because of tryptophan loading - the current evidence does not support this but the claim makes my major point: we must get enough of any particular nutrient/chemical to the right place and at the right dose in our brain in order for us to notice any effects. Unfortunately, tryptophan has difficulty getting across the blood-brain barrier into our brain.

So, what's the scientific evidence for considering the cognitive effects of these foods? Mostly, it's related to what happens when we do not get enough of them. For example, studies have shown that consuming too little tryptophan makes us depressed and angry and has been blamed for multiple wars and acts of cannibalism. Too little sugar or water-soluble vitamins (the B's and C) will induce changes in brain function that we will notice after a few days of deprivation. Many authors jump to the conclusion that giving high doses of such nutrients will rapidly improve our mood or thinking: sadly, this is rarely the case. Ordinarily the foods in this category require far more time to affect our brains than do those foods in the first category.

The third category includes the slow acting, life-time dosing nutrients that have been popular topics in the press recently. This category includes the anti-oxidant rich foods such as colorful fruits and vegetables, fish and olive oils, fruit juices, anti-inflammatory plants and drugs such as aspirin, some steroids, cinnamon and some other spices, nicotine, caffeine and chocolate, the fat-soluble vitamins, nuts, legumes, beer and red wine. People who eat these foods do not report acute changes in their thoughts or moods (depending upon how much they consume!) but certainly benefit from consuming them regularly over their life span. In general, the benefit comes from the fact that all of these foods provide our brains with some form of protection against the most deadly thing we expose ourselves to every day - Oxygen. Because we consume food, we must consume oxygen. Because we consume oxygen, we age. Thus, people who live the longest tend to each food rich in anti-oxidants or simply eat a lot less food. Recent studies suggest that nicotine and caffeine may prevent the toxic actions of oxygen in our brain which is why I've included them here.

You can see that depending upon how you frame the question about foods and the brain you get a different list of foods and a different reason for consuming them. If you wish to alter your current brain function or slow your brain's aging you need to consume foods that target specific chemical processes. In truth, no one ever considers these distinctions when eating - we just eat what tastes good. Sadly, our brains powerfully reward us when we eat sugar, fat and salt; thus there is an oncoming epidemic of obesity-related illnesses. Food has both negative and positive effects and it all depends upon what you consume, how much you consume and for how long.
