Be careful while working with batteries at work place Children should be educated on care to be taken while conducting experiments in laborataries. Small children should not be allowed to handle Chunnam (packets used for chewing with betel nuts) Cracker injuries are a combination of chemical and thermal injury, hence care should be taken while bursting crackers Wear protective goggles while working with chemicals If you are wearing contact lenses, do not try to remove them before washing, splash water for a few minutes then try to remove it. Never rub eyes even after washing. Start the treatment immediately at home If exposed to chemicals, the most apt way to limit damage is to start flushing the eye with most readily available non-toxic liquid even clean tap water can be used. Use strong steady stream of water at least for 10 to 15 minutes and continue till you are ready to go to the doctor Hold the eye lids open with your fingers and allow water to run from the bridge of your nose and move towards the affected eye If both eyes are affected, alternatively rinse both eyes with water Reach the hospital at the earliest for Ophthalmic care Most people recover completely Doctor will assess damage and treat accordingly

Antibiotic Prophylaxis during Dental Treatment Has your dentist ever told you that you need to take antibiotics prior to a dental procedure? 4 Tablets at one shot..and you balked at the idea? Relax, they REALLY have your best interests at heart!! Prophylaxis is recommended for all dental procedures that involve manipulation of gingival tissue or the periapical region of the teeth, or perforation of the oral mucosa. Recommendations to reduce the risk of infective endocarditis American Heart Association recommends the antibiotic be given before the procedure so it can reach adequate blood levels. Sometimes patients forget to premedicate prior to their appointments. So to prevent infective endocarditis (inflammation of the inner layer of the heart), the recommendation is: “If the dosage of antibiotic is inadvertently not administered before the procedure, the dosage may be administered up to two hours after the procedure.” Sometimes, patients who require prophylaxis are already taking antibiotics for some other condition. In these cases, it is recommended that the dentist select an antibiotic from a different class than the one the patient is already taking. For example, if the patient is taking amoxicillin, the dentist will select clindamycin, azithromycin or clarithromycin for prophylaxis. The current recommendations recommend use of preventive antibiotics before certain dental
Before some dental treatments, patients who have certain heart conditions and those with artificial joints are advised to take antibiotics. This is because, there may be a risk of developing an infection in the heart or at the site of the artificial joint. Premedication with antibiotics to reduce this risk is called antibiotic prophylaxis. procedures for people with: Artificial heart valves A history of infective endocarditis A cardiac transplant that develops

Recommendations for people with total joint replacements These recommendations from American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, apply to people who have total joint replacements. Patients who have pins, plates or other orthopedic hardware are also affected. Typically, an adult patient will receive 2 grams of antibiotics, one hour prior to the procedure. This typically translates to 4 capsules of 500 mgs each. Many patients are not comfortable swallowing 4 tablets in one gulp. Such patients may be allowed to take 2 tablets an hour prior to the procedure and 2 tablets immediately after, just to break up the dosage.

here they go again!!! – United civic club of st. Marks public school – this is the new batch of Civic Club Members who have started their activities for the current academic year, 2012-13, as a part of CMCA – Childrens’ Movement for Civic Awareness. Understanding that we need to save our trees and respect them individually – the children noticed that the trees are always treated like ‘advertising space!’ It is important for each Citizen human being to acknowledge that Reports the trees also have their rights. Our grandparents and elders did not plant them there so that people can staple or nail pamphlets on them.
Over the last one month, we have stepped up our effort to stop people from throwing garbage at the South City lake entrance. The residents started taking us a little seriously and last week about 50 of the slum dwellers led by the Swamiji of the nearby temple, cleaned up the revetment along the stretch facing their houses. BBMP has said that they will send their garbage collection vehicle regularly. Last week, BBMP Environment Engineer Vijayamala sent workers to clear out the trash from the entrance and the drain. The piles of garbage had compacted and the stench was unbearable. Our reluctance to handle our waste makes life miserable for workers like Sivanna and Sekhar. A request: whenever/if you see anyone throwing trash at the entrance or randomly, please tell them to throw it in the bin. Only with such repeated reminders will we be able to get them to keep the area clean.
The children went around – pulling down pamphlets from trees near their school and residences. Some took the help of elders in this endeavour. They will continue to do so. We need many more such children who ACT to bring about change!

O
n July 31st, BBMP passed a resolution to include Electronic City phase I, II and III under its jurisdiction. State government has to approve the resolution now, for it to be effective. If approved, industries and commercial areas that are notified as part of Ecity, will go to BBMP. But on the other hand, state cabinet is already contemplating giving industrial township status to the area. Dr Amita Prasad, Principal Secretary at the state government’s Urban Development Department (UDD), says that BBMP has not yet sent the resolution to the department. But she has received mails from Electronic City Industries Association (ELCIA). “I have forwarded these mails to the BBMP Commissioner,” she says. It might take another two months for the approval.

Contract (AMC); overall, this amount comes to `4 cr per year. This amount is used for road maintenance, waste and sewage disposal, street lighting, holding social activities etc.
ELCIA was formed in the early 90s, as soon as companies started to be set up in Electronic City. It has been maintaining the complex since 1997.
BBMP says that `300 cr can be collected, as its tax rates are higher than that of panchayat. For industrial buildings, BBMP has a higher and varying tax rate per sq ft - as opposed to panchayat’s flat rate of `1.20 per sq ft per year - depending on size of the company and also whether the building is owned or rented.
Unrealistic revenue expectation?
Bankrupt BBMP had long been discussing inclusion of Ecity under its jurisdiction, to get more revenue. BBMP currently “Panchayats may not have estimates that included common areas, or `300 cr can be charged higher for A/C buildings, raised as property which BBMP does. We will start tax from Ecity maintaining roads, street lights establishments. and public health facilities in the It includes over area, once it is handed over” 150 companies - Niranjan , Special Commissioner - small, medium and large.

According to the rough calculations of Citizen Matters, with BBMP’s current slab, tax from Electronic City would come to around `55 cr. I Ramakanth, Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) at BBMP, says that the tax slab for Electronic City is likely to remain the same as the existing rates. BBMP is also eyeing tax from Neo Town, an upcoming luxury residential-cumcommercial township spread over 100 acres
We don’t want BBMP This move worries ELCIA. Rama says “Currently, in case of any issue, we deal with it immediately. We make decisions and have a decent relationship with the village panchayats. If BBMP takes over, we may have to get everything done through them. BBMP has not done much in the city anyway,” she says.

ADGP Rajvir P Sharma sparks BBMP backlash W
hen Dr S C Sharma, 45, resident of Jayanagar 4th Block, filed a complaint with the Bengaluru Metropolitan Task Force (BMTF) against a BBMP engineer who did not act against the owner of an illegal building, he did not know that engineers would be revolting against BMTF head, IPS officer Dr Rajvir P Sharma.
Tough cop Rajvir Sharma of the Bangalore Metropolitan Task Force sent notices to 132 BBMP engineers for inaction over illegal building complaints. He is BBMP’s latest problem.
The building in question was originally constructed in 1992. The RTI record, which Citizen Matters has received from Sharma shows that BBMP (then BMP) has sanctioned a two storey building in 1992. The owner has constructed a five storey building by violating the norms. “I have filed a complaint with KSPCB, BBMP and Lokayukta in 2011 but it was of no use. We are losing privacy due to this illegal commercial building in the residential area,” says Sharma. Sharma filed a complaint with BMTF recently.

Backlash on August 8th On August 8th, frustrated by BMTF’s threat of action against engineers, the BBMP Officers and Officials Association held a massive protest at BBMP headquarters in N R Square. Over a thousand attended, and demanded that a cabinet minister agree to take BMTF off their backs.

On August 9th, Mayor D Venkatesh Murthy told Citizen Matters that Chief Minister Jagdish Shettar “assured withdrawal of the particular power of BMTF by which it had taken action against the engineers”. Citizen Matters has not confirmed this yet.
The old nexus It is quietly accepted in Bangalore that BBMP engineers take bribes from violators and keep mum over complaints. BBMP itself admits to this. S S Khandre, public relations officer at the BBMP, says “We know our engineers are not honest. The one who has to curb the violation fails to follow the rules.” Khandre though wants BMTF to come under BBMP. “To curb illegal violations, BBMP is planning to draft a proposal to Urban Development Department to bring BMTF under BBMP”, he says.

Does Vitamin C keep you from catching cold?
L
ack of proper nutrition leads to loss of immunity. This fact was well recognised in the 1970s, when immunity was measured to assess nutritional status. Immune cells have a great need for energy and amino acids, so protein energy malnutrition is still identified as the major cause of deficiency in immunity. With research and the understanding of how immunity functions in our body, the role of nutrients such as zinc, iron, some fatty acids (omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA), Selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Vitamin E, have been identified. Vitamin C is present in all living cells and in greater proportions in the immune system’s fighting cells, leukocytes. Lower levels of vitamin C results in a reduction in immunity. However it still not clear if higher

T
he epithet ‘Gaanchali bidi, Kannada maathadi’ (GBKM) would translate colloquially as ‘let go of your (English) affectations and speak in Kannada.’ For those of us born and brought up in Bangalore, this has been a familiar epithet; as children from middle-class families, we were exposed to peers from ‘convent’ schools who spoke ‘European’ English, but they would disdain to speak in Kannada despite knowing the language well. We would accuse them of ‘gaanchali’, and of course would strive to throw in as much Kannada in our ‘English’ conversations as possible. The fact that many of the wannabe ‘convent’ schools (where we studied in an effort to catch up with our well-off peers) actually imposed a ‘ban’ on speaking Kannada in school except during the Kannada period only made us even more rebellious. All of us growing up in the 70s, 80s and 90s were the progenitors of the hybrid called ‘Kanglish’. Unfortunately, when we grew up, we forgot all about our rebelliousness Pavan describes GBKM and quietly became as a platform to address English speaking, tech three different aspects of savvy people. the language—cultural But it seems that these quotient, cool quotient feelings did not die out in and consumer quotient.

Although, it is a bit hard to connect all these changes to GBKM, activities on the Facebook page, points to continuous efforts in this direction.

The ‘cool quotient’ has been influenced by and given impetus to people who innovate in the use of Kannada, for example, through T-shirts, blogs, films or theatre. The growth of the community to 1 lakh members prompted Kunch and his friends to celebrate the event in GBKM style. On August 6th, nearly 150 members of the community were present at KH Kala Soudha to felicitate two special people who have uniquely contributed to Kannada.

Independence, that often used word
I
ndependence Day is coming up and it’s a good time to reflect on the word itself. Let’s take a look at how the word plays out in public life in our own city and state. Karnataka’s Lokayukta position opened up over a year ago and the state government has still not filled the position. Such is the fear of an independent Lokayukta, after Justice Santosh Hegde indicted official after official. Bengaluru Metropolitan Task Force’s head, IPS officer Rajvir Sharma, responding to citizen complaints on illegal buildings, threatened prosecution against over a 100 BBMP engineers. BMTF’s legal mandate allows it this independence. Not only is there a massive backlash against Sharma, the state government is now reportedly considering clipping BMTF’s powers! There are scores of examples like this, where authorities that are supposed to function independently, are not allowed to do so, in our independent nation. The problem is not a local one. It is national and is also partly the reason behind the anti-corruption movement. Let’s move from government to society. Bangalore today harbours profound resentment on not enough Kannada being spoken here. Even worse is that entire generations of children from affluent and middle income families have grown up in the city’s English medium
schools frowning on the very idea of speaking Kannada! Every once in a while, there is a backlash. However, neither the occasional incident, nor the more reserved frustration of linguists, scholars, poets and artists appears to have done to Kannada what a netizen community has started doing. They are making Kannada sakkath cool. Around one lakh Kannadigas on Facebook, largely in their 30s, have been quietly raising the coolness quotient of the language itself. They’ve pushed for a number of things ranging from getting the language into bank challans, ATM machines and British Airways in-flight instructions. Read our report on page 13 for more. This group has shown they can think independently from others who feel the same angst about the language. They do not resort to jingoism, violence and foul play to express angst. They are also not content with incisive and indicting prose on the dilemma. This is only the most recent local example that Indians are thinking and speaking independently. That’s the silver lining in a situation where our governments actually prefer to shut down independence. Happy Independence day!

One lakh netizens dial-up Kannada’s cool quotient address the gathering. Ramachandra stressed on how it is vital for Kannada to grow as an ‘economic’ power in order to be culturally influential. On the other hand, Pawan Kumar’s revolutionary ideas on filmmaking presented another way of boosting the ‘fallen’ status of Kannada. In a larger perspective, Gaanchali Bidi Kannada Mathadi is a sign of changing
times, being youthful and exuberant while at the same time being educative without being an imposition. Perhaps, this approach will bring about much needed winds of change and revive dying native languages which are victims of urbanisation and globalisation. Perhaps there will come a time when Kanglish and Kannada do not have to remain part of nostalgia.

ADGP Rajvir P Sharma sparks BBMP backlash Rajvir Sharma disagrees with Khandre. “They might not have read Section VII of Indian constitution. It says clearly that no authority can interfere into the proceedings of police department”, he snaps.
BMTF short of staff Currently, BMTF is short of manpower and has also been functioning inside different rooms within BBMP headquarters. “But that will not matter if I have good people to work with me. The public and the officials should be honest, then all authorities can perform well”, quips Sharma. BMTF will soon move to a new office in the Shantinagar BMTC headquarters building, he adds. It remains to be seen whether the chief minister will intervene and whether BMTF’s powers will be clipped.

Remembering Dr Joseph George
He was the man with immense love for birds. His methods were pioneering to say the least. A glimpse into Dr George’s life. adly, it’s only when some people leave the scene that one is moved to write about the immense worth of their lives and work. Though I had met Dr Joseph George (1st October 1921 - 9th July 2012), it was only when he passed away, that I realised that I could have documented this doyen of ornithology in Bangalore, much earlier. Dr Joseph George got the first rank in his bachelor’s degree, studying at St Joseph’s College, Trichy, and went on to continue his studies at Agra University, with a scholarship. He later completed his doctoral degree. He worked for a long time at the Forest Research Institute (where he went on to become the Assistant Director). He and Gurcharan Singh, a school headmaster by profession, were the people who literally ‘ran’ the birdwatching effort in Dehradun. Later, Dr George became the Assistant Director of the Buildings Research Institute, Roorkee. He then moved to Bangalore, as the Director of the Indian Plywood Industries’ Research (and now, Training) Institute at Peenya.

Deepa Mohan printed, he painstakingly proofread every issue. As I had pointed out in my article on the rise of birding in Bangalore, one of the important milestones for the Birdwatchers’ Field Club was the compilation of the official annotated checklist of the birds of Bangalore, with sponsorship from Bikram Grewal, a noted naturalist. The very first bird list was made by Dr Joseph George, and released by Dr Salim Ali in November 1977 on his birthday, at a function at the Raman Research Institute.
He was the person who started group birdwatching in Bangalore Dr M B Krishna, another noted in 1972, a little after he came Bangalore ornithologist, reminisces here. He did this, along with T N A about the days when they prepared Perumal, the wildlife photographer, the first annotated checklist of the birds of Bangalore, and Upendra, of together. ”In the Automobile He took great pains to the bargain, if I Association of India. keep Birdwatchers’ Field recollect right, I got Throughout his Club of Bangalore alive three weeks of free time in Bangalore, by sending handwritten lunch and good o r n i t h o l o g y postcards to everyone work every day, full remained Dr who gave him their adtime!” George’s passion. dress.

On the scientific side of birdwatching, Dr Krishna adds: “He was meticulous in his observations, and his work on bamboo nest boxes is a classic, merging his professional interest in wood science with his hobby, interest in birds. The use of dyed feathers dispersed from a hillside so that swifts could pick it up to build nests, and the subsequent detection of those dyed feathers in the nests at the Forest Research Institute, was innovative. “ Dr Krishna adds that many techniques used by Dr George were firsts in the world, such as his counting migrating Grey Drongos to arrive at their migration timings, or some of his mapping techniques. Zafar Futehally, 93, the other venerable ornithologist of Bangalore, remembers how the ‘Newsletter for Birdwatchers’ started: “Sometime in 1988, before we shifted to Kodaikanal, George telephoned to say that he wanted to discuss something and could we meet him and another friend... I invited him to the Bangalore Club and it was then, we decided that Sridhar would print and publish the newsletter. Going into print was a great advance.” A person with a mission, and with a passion - we salute Dr Joseph George, and revere his memory. When each of us looks up into the tree and thrills at the sight of a feathered friend, let us remember that we owe a lot to Dr George.
