Spirulina is blue green algae. It is simple, one celled form of algae that thrives in warm, alkaline fresh water bodies. The name spirulina is derived from the Latin word for helix or spiral; denoting the physical configuration of the organism when it forms swirling, Microscopic strands spirulina is being developed as the food of the future because of its amazing ability to synthesize high quality concentrated food more efficiently than any other algae. Most notably, Spirulina is 65 to 71 percent complete protein, with all essential amino acids in perfect balance. In addition, spirulina is one of the very few plant sources of Vit B12, usually found only in animal tissuesA teaspoon of spirulina supplies 21/2 times recommended daily allowance of vitamin B12 and contains more than twice the amount of this vitamin found in an equivalent serving of liver Spirulina also provides high concentrations of many other nutrients- amino acids, chelated minerals, pigment ions, rhamnose sugars (complex natural plant sugars), trace elements, enzymes in an easily assimilable form.Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death in diabetes. A risk factor for cardiovascular disease is dyslipidaemia. Both hypertension and lipid disorder should be actively sought and treated in patients with diabetes. It has been found by research that dietary hyperlipidemia caused by high fructose diet was improved by spirulina feeding, accompanied by significant increase in the lipoprotein lipase activity in post heparin plasma in rats. The control of blood glucose, lipids and body weight are the three major factors in diabetes management.Spirulina is a boon for diabetics. Spirulina on regular intake is found to reduce the incidence of diabetic retinopathy. It is also found that on regular intake of spirulina non insulin diabetes mellitus responds on a long term basis. Spirulina will be helpful in controlling the long term cardiovascular complications and retinopathy as revealed by research. It becomes therefore necessary for a diabetic patient to supplement his diet with spirulina. Taking into account the various advantages that spirulina offers to diabetic patients it becomes important for spirulina to be taken by all diabetic patients. Taking spirulina as tablets or capsules has a low compliance level among patients due to psychological reasons and so our product stands to provide an advantage over the other existing formulations.

A NEW DAWN...
A new dawn,
I wake up as usual
yetanother dull and empty day.
the day is so humid,
the birds are not chirping,
the beautiful sunrise, pretty dewdrops on flowers,
melodious songs of birds, all are missing........
Its a hard day for me
my good friends are parting.....
many are out in search of greener pastures..
I consider teaching as noble profession
my passion for teaching is unimaginable...
because of which i live a life like this...
Many things left unanswered in my life
My good students have gone...
My good old friends have gone..
My good olden days have gone
My golden dreams shattered..
people are wandering throughout the web of life..
something strange hurting me badly..
in this corner of my room, Still i feel safe... ...
I can see the ray of hope outside, shining brighter and brighter.. ..
parting is the part of life and the change is inevitable. ..............
Iam waiting for a new season with cheerful colours to come by,
Iam waitng for a new dawn...A pleasant dawn with beautiful sunrise, melodious songs of birds and colorful flowers everywhere and the everglowing dewdrops on it.
This is the law of life, This is the web of life..
I wake up as usual

swine flu, H1,N1 flu, swine flu in india
Swine flu ?
Swine influenza (also pig flu) is an infection by any one of several types of swine influenza virus Swine influenza virus (SIV) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs
Swine flu symptoms?
. It's caused by a new swine flu virus that has changed in ways that allow it to spread from person to person -- and it's happening among people who haven't had any contact with pigs.
the virus is "novel influenza A (H1N1) virus" and the World Health Organization calls it "pandemic (H1N1) 2009." The CDC calls swine flu illness "H1N1 flu" and the World Health Organization calls it "pandemic influenza A (H1N1)."
Symptoms of swine flu include
fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches, headache chills, and fatigue. diarrhea and vomiting. Nearly everyone with flu has at least two of these symptoms. But these symptoms can also be caused by many other conditions.
Directly from droplets from the cough or sneeze of an infected person, or by touching an object they recently touched, and then touching your eyes, mouth, or nose, delivering their germs for your own infection.
The swine flu virus can become airborne if you cough or sneeze without covering your nose and mouth, sending germs into the air. The new swine flu virus is a human virus spread by people and not by pigs. The only way to get the new swine flu is from another person.
Pandemic swine flu virus is sensitive to the antiviral drugs TAMIFLU oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir). the drugs are most effective when taken within 48 hours of the start of flu symptoms.
method of prevention ( precautions)
· Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner if soap and water are not available.
· Avoid close contact -- that is, being within 6 feet -- with people who have flu-like symptoms.
· Avoid touching your mouth, nose, or eyes. That's not easy to do, so keep those hands clean.
· If you have flu-like symptoms -- fever plus at least cough or sore throat or other flu symptoms -- stay home for seven days after symptoms begin or until you've been symptom-free for 24 hours -- whichever is longer.
· Wear a face mask if you must come into close contact with a sick person. "Close contact" means within 6 feet. Note: There is no definitive proof that a face mask prevents flu transmission. Do not rely solely on a face mask to prevent infection.

PEACE
Peace
There are only two forces in the world. The sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit. The great warrior napoleon Bonaparte’s words remind us once again the importance of peace and good will.
Peace is a word, concept that is becoming a rarity in many parts of the world today. Peace initiates harmony and understanding for each other. This gives an opportunity to make peace in ones relationships as well as impact the larger conflicts of our time. The effort by all those working towards maintaining and ushering in peace and communal harmony should be aimed at empowering peace and communal harmony by enlightening individual lives. Only then the indifferences of caste, creed and economic difference can be banished. And this bring to the mind the words of Winston Churchill—if the human race wishes to have a prolonged and indefinite period of material prosperity, they have only got to behave in a peaceful and helpful way toward one another. Let us pledge to do more, where ever we are in whatever way we can, to make everyday a day of peace.
