 V.V.IMP message from central government. New step again.
This is definitely going to save u money.. 

Dear All,

This is to inform you that medicines are prescribed (by doctors) by brand name & not by the generics (Ingredients). Hence we end up paying more money for the same medicine.

Follow these few steps to know more & start saving on your medical bills.

1. Simply goto www.Manddo.com (Medicines and Doctors online) goto medicines secton

2. Search the medicine name

3. Type the medicine name which you are using (e. g. Lyrica 75mg (Pfizer company)

4. It will show u medicine company, prices and Ingredients

5. Now main point CLICK ON 'SUBSTITUTE'

6. Don't be surprised to see that same drug is available at very low cost also. And that to by other reputed manufacturer. e. g. Lyrica by pfizer is for Rs. 768.56 for 14 tab (54.89 per tab). Whereas same drug by Cipla (Prebaxe) is available ONLY @ Rs. 59.00 for 10 tab (5.9 per tab)

Please don't delete this without forwarding.

Forward to all the contacts in your phone book.

Let the move by Supreme Court benefit everyone...

There was a big lobby by Pharma companies to stop generic medicines. But court kept the interest of common man and the medical need.

VERY USEFUL INFORMATION TO UNDERSTAND THE EXTANT PROBLEM OF INADEQUACY OF CASH IN ATMs

________ A to Z kerala .......... [kvk] [www.atozkerala.in , www.atozkerala.blogspot.com]


Mr Rituraj Sinha, the man in charge of the SIS Security group, has shared the following information:-

The chaos over the last 10 days post the announcement of demonetisation programme is unprecedented!

There is no denying that millions have been inconvenienced. The news channels have left no stone unturned to spike the frustration and agony.

But as someone who has been in the middle of this chaos (as the President of the Cash Logistics Association as also a part of the RBI ATM taskforce), I would like to share some latest developments that may help ease your concerns -

1. First up, this is not a currency supply issue. RBI is quite well prepared to replace the 13.8 lakh crore of currency value that was withdrawn from circulation as result of the demonetisation programme. This is purely a logistics challenge i.e. getting adequate currency into banks and ATMs as quickly as possible.

2. ATM queues are a result of the simple fact that ATM machines are not configured to carry the new 2000 and 500 currency notes as they are of different sizes. This necessitates a hardware + software change process which requires an engineer to visit each of the 2,10,000 ATMs scattered across the country. This is bound to take time. Cannot be short circuited.

3. Also, ATMs are running dry because cash logistics providers like us are able to fill most ATM machines with only old 100 denomination currency. Resultantly, cash loading value per ATM has dropped to 4 lacs per loading, which means that it is good for only 200 odd transactions. Before 8th, these ATM machines would be topped up with 30-40 lacs per replenishment. So on one hand, the quantum of currency available through ATMs has dropped, on the other hand, number of people visiting each ATM has gone up multi fold.

Now some good news :

1. Almost 35,000 ATM machines will be re configured to carry new high denomination currency by end of today (18th). At this pace, as RBI ATM taskforce, we believe that a majority of ATMs across India can be reconfigured by 22nd November.

2. As ATM machines are being reconfigured for new high denomination currency, cash logistics operators are topping them up with 60 lacs per loading, which means that almost 3000 people can draw cash per loading. As we are able to do this at more ATMs over next 3 -4 days, you can expect length of queues as well as 'cash out' instances to start declining.

3. Remember that 2 lac bank employees, RBI staff, ATM OEM engineers and 45000 employees of cash logistics companies have been working literally non stop since 9th to ease the public inconvenience. And it is amazing but true that this lot of 2-3 lac people have set aside their personal challenges as a result of this cash crunch altogether and taken this crisis up as time for - "national duty".

I just wanted to get the word out to all of you. Apologies for all the missed calls and no response on messages.

This is a national crisis. We all are impacted. But there is no reverse gear for this one. And by and large the nation seems to agree that this is for larger good - of our economy but also for our society.

And that is the reason why we have long queues and instances of public anger yet, there are queues (basic order) - there is no ransacking, no mass protests on streets (leave aside the political ones) and no major law and order incident!

We all want to fight corruption....but some of us don't want to be personally inconvenienced at all in the process....But then, how can a major reform like this be effected without any collateral damage.

There is no denying that there could be no greater blow to those who have amassed wealth illegally. Government estimates that 3-4 lac crores rupees of unaccounted/ black money will exit the system by this single move. Not to mention the deterrent effect this move will have for the  wrong doers for all time in the future.

So, let's hang in there. Work on reassuring others rather than help amplify disappointment and panic.

As a nation we have tremendous capacity 'to adjust' and 'to survive' through chaos. I'm sure we'll get past this ...and move towards a less corrupt India!

The financial year will shift to Jan- Dec instead of April-March.

________ A to Z kerala .......... [kvk] [www.atozkerala.in , www.atozkerala.blogspot.com]
Guys....from a very reliable source.
The financial year will shift to Jan- Dec instead of April-March.
Announcement will be made on 30th December
‬: There is a strong possibility that Government may scrap Income Tax from FY 2017-18 and replace with Banking Transaction Tax (BTT). from 1st April 2017 possibility of only two taxes 1. Direct Tax as BTT and 2. GST as indirect Tax.

‬: http://wap.business-standard.com/…/crackdown-on-gold-trader…

How does the Government plan to remove black money from India ?
Step 1 : Demonetise Rs.500 and Rs.1000. get Rs.1420000 crores out of the market.
Step 2 : Print Rs.2000 and Rs.500 and Rs.100 in the replacement market.
Step 3 : Dismantle the cash economy by not allowing any cash transaction above Rs.10000 without PAN or Aadhar.
Step 4 : All salaries and business expenses required to be made in cheque or RTGS only to claim expenses in Income Tax. All cash transactions to be disallowed.
Step 5 : A Cash Limitation order will be issued that will allow only maximum cash allowance of total Rs.50000 per person.
Step 6 : As the cash economy is destroyed after a few months, the Rs.2000 note will be demonetised with a limited notice.
With very limited cash available in the market, the cash economy will be strangled to death.
Step 7 : As some of the cash economy will try to shift to Gold, Gold coins manufacturing and imports will be banned.
Step 8 : A Gold and Precious Jewellery control order will be issued which will allow only 500 gram of Gold per person and a certain value of other jewellery. Relaxation will be given for existing jewellery if declared to authorities as per format. After a certain date, all undeclared Gold and jewellery will be liable to be taken over by the state.
Step 9 : A Property and Asset Declaration order will be issued where all property (Land, Buildings and Flats) and shares will have to be declared to the authorities in a particular format. After a certain date, all undeclared property or shares will be liable to be taken over by the state.
That will complete the removal of black money from India.

Modi's one-time confidante and Amit Shah's mentor, Yatin Oza EX-BJP MLA from Gujarat writes to Modi:

________ A to Z kerala .......... [kvk] [www.atozkerala.in , www.atozkerala.blogspot.com]

15/11/2016

To,
Shri Narendra Modi,
Honble The Prime Minister of India,
7, Lok Kalyan Marg,
New Delhi.

Dear Narendra Bhai,

I hope this letter finds you in best of health and happiness.

On 8th of November 2016, after I heard your speech on demonetization, I was really very happy and from within complimented you for such a bold and historic step. Unfortunately, happiness did not last long. In the morning of 9th Nov, someone very near and dear informed me that yesterday i.e. on 8th Nov at around 12 in the afternoon wife of one of the leading industrialist of Ahmedabad in her presence came to a very leading jewellery shop and as per pre-order purchased gold worth 20 crores. Gold was ready and packed and it took two minutes to transfer gold and cash to each other. She was incidentally present at the shop buying pre ordered jewellery worth Rs. 5 lakhs. She is a doctor of a very high repute and eminence.

Having worked so closely with you and being a part of your kitchen cabinet at one point of time in past it immediately clicked to my mind that information of demonetization must have been conveyed well before announcement to your near and dear industrialist who in total controls 50% of black money of this country. Having spent whole day inquiring, thinking on the above lines the information that I gathered is shocking, by adhering to such a popularistic measure you have really befooled the people of this nation.

In fact your above move was to enrich your near and dear ones, your party and your party workers by apparently putting forward the national cause and interest. I have a video recording with me which will clearly and beyond reasonable doubt prove that all the near and close associates of Shri Amit Shah since 8th Nov till today are engaged into exchange business. There is a big queue outside their office and residence for conversion of black money into white at a discounted rate of 37%, people have queued up outside their office and residence. One has to go without identity with at least a sum of Rs. 1 Crore which will be counted by the employees and a bag containing Rs. 63 lakhs of valid denomination would be handed over. I could have easily parted with that video but as I know you, you will punish those standing in queue rather than booking those persons engaged in the business who are near and dear to Mr. Amit Shah. However, I will show the video to two or three senior journalists and intimate you about the same so that you can cross check and verify the genuineness of my statement from the journalists.

One who knows you would refuse to accept that the ban that you imposed on district co-operative banks yesterday was after you received an information that large scale irregularities and illegalities were committed at that level. Even your enemy would respect your ability, capacity and intelligence. One thing is certain that such an important aspect could not have been out of your mind. I for one knows very well that you will not act unless a complete blue print of your action is in your mind. All pros and cons of your action would very much be alive in your mind before you act. This in my respectful submission was permitted to be done in Gujarat because all district co-operative banks are controlled by people committed to BJP. These banks right from 9 PM on 8/11/2016 till 5 AM on 9/11/2016 exchanged Rs.500 and Rs.1000 currency notes against smaller denomination. You had through RBI called for the details of exact cash with denominations from all banks of the country on 08/11/2016. You yourself get it verified the veracity of my above statement. I assure you that if I am proved wrong I will tender a public apology.

To weed out any doubt in the mind of people of India that sharks and whales have been let off and that your dear and near industrialists were intimated well in advance about demonetization, you should inform the people of India by disclosure on the official website of Government of India about disclosure of above 1 Crore. I am sure that not one chairman or MD or director of first 300 fortune companies of India would make a disclosure and if they dont than my allegations stands proved. I saw people hungry and thirsty standing in queue for Rs. 4000 and small deposits but I did not find a single Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, Porsche or Range rover outside any bank or any owner of the said vehicle in a queue either for withdrawal or deposit of money. In your opinion possibly the black money was hoarded only by those people in queue either at the ATM or with bank but not with owners of vehicles mentioned above. The people of this country would also like to know that apart from those fortune 300 industrialists how much money builders, contractors more particularly contractors who have been awarded government contracts, miners who are more particularly involved in iron ore mining, other industrialists and above all politicians and bureaucrats have deposited the money. Unless the people of this country have the above information as to who has deposited what amount, the allegation that the hoarders of 50% of black money i.e. those 10-12 like industries have been blessed by you by prior intimation will stand proved. Moreover, at least poor and helpless people who have stood outside the bank in queue for petty amount would like to know what is the amount of deposit made by those 10-12 industries whom you allotted the land worth more than 1 lakh crores and who did not generate between themselves employment worth 7000 people. The publication of deposits on website would also throw light as to who are the persons who have deposited 300 to 400 crores and what action Income Tax department would take if they deposits either do not match with the return or known source of Income. I request you to also inquire the purchase of gold & diamonds sold on 7th and 8th before 8 PM and by whom. This will enable people to think as to why few top notch needed purchase of huge amount of gold and diamonds.

Be kind and gracious enough to share the aforesaid information on the official website of the government of India so that people of this country may judge whether demonetization is for larger good of the country or for the benefit directly to you, your loved ones and your party workers.

Sincerely yours

Yatin Oza

A Secret Has Been Uncovered: Cancer Is Not A Disease But Business!

________ A to Z kerala .......... [kvk] [www.atozkerala.in , www.atozkerala.blogspot.com


The word called cancer is a lie…You might not believe this but cancer is not a disease; it is a business.Cancer consists of only a deficiency of vitamin B17. It is nothing else.
Cancer has become widespread; it has affected the old, young, baby and everyone.Sharing this wonderful post will expose many of the hidden hands of the world’s manipulators and annoy them.Do you know that the book “World Without Cancer” has up till now been prevented from being translated into many world languages?
Know this: there is no disease called cancer. Cancer consists of only a deficiency of vitamin B17. It is nothing else.
Avoid chemotherapy, surgery and or taking medicines with strong side effects.
You would recall that in the past, quite a large number of seamen lost their life to a named disease (scurvy); a disease that took the life of numerous people as well. And a number of people got an enormous income from it. Afterwards, it was discovered that scurvy was just a deficiency of vitamin C. That means it wasn’t a disease (illness).

Cancer is also just like that! The colonizing world and the enemies of humanity established the cancer industry and made it into a business. from which they earn billions in income.

The cancer industry flourished after world war II. To fight cancer, all these delays, details and enormous expenditures are not needed. They only go to line the pockets of colonizers, especially since the cure for the condition was found long ago.

The prevention and cure of cancer will be obtained simply through the following strategies:

Those who have cancer should first try to know what cancer is. Do not panic! You should investigate the condition.

Nowadays does anyone die of an illness called scurvy? No. Because it gets cured.

Since cancer is only a deficiency of vitamin B17, eating 15 to 20 pieces of apricot stone/nucleus (fruit stone) everyday is enough.

Eat wheat bud (wheat sprouts). Wheat bud is a miraculous anti-cancer medicine. It is a rich source of liquid oxygen and the strongest anti-cancer matter named laetrile. This matter is present in the fruit stone of apple and is the extracted form of vitamin B17 (Amygdalin).

The American medicinal industry has started implementing the law forbidding laetrile production. This medicine is being manufactured in Mexico and gets smuggled into USA.

Dr. Harold W. Manner, in a book named “Death of Cancer” has stated that the success of cancer treatment with laetrile is as high as above 90%.

Sources of Amygdalin (Vitamin B17)

The foods containing vitamin B17 include the following:

-The fruit stone or grain(seed) of fruits. This contains the highest amount of vitamin B17 in nature. This includes fruit stone of apple, apricot, peach, pear, and prune (dried plum).

-Common beans, corns(grains), which include bean, lentil sprout (lentil bud) Lima (Lima beans) and pea.

-Kernels: Bitter Almond (Richest source of vitamin B-17 in nature) and Indian almond.

-Mulberries: almost all mulberries such as black mulberry, blueberry, raspberry and strawberry.

-Seeds (Grains): sesame and linseed (seed of linen/flax seed).

-Groats of oats, barley, brown rice, groats of block wheat, linseed, millet and rye.

This vitamin is found in grains and fruit stones of apricot, brewer’s yeast, rough rice (paddy) and sweetmeat pumpkin.

List of Anti-Cancer Foods
•Apricots (kernels/seeds)
•seeds from other fruits like apples, cherries, peaches, prunes, plums, pears
•Lima beans
•Fava beans
•Wheatgrass
•Almonds
•Raspberries
•Elderberries
•Strawberries
•Blackberries
•Blueberries
•Buckwheat
•Sorghum
•Barley
•Millet
•Cashews
•Macadamia nuts
•Bean sprouts
All are the highest sources of absorbable vitamin B17.

Ingesting dish washing liquids (used in the kitchen) and hand washing liquid (used in the restroom) is the main cancer causing factor so your eating of them should be restricted.You will surely say that we do not eat them!
However, you daily wash your hands with hand washing liquid and wash your plates with dish washing liquid.The liquid is absorbed and will not leave the plate with washing. When cooking or eating food, the soap in the plate or dish gets attached to the hot food and so we end up eating the dish washing liquid with our food. Even if you rinse the plate hundreds of times, that will be of no use.

But the solution is to pour half of the dishwashing liquid and hand washing liquid and top it up with vinegar.
It is as simple as that.Do not eat blood cancer causing agents and also save your family from this danger.Similarly, seriously desist from washing vegetables with even a few drops of dishwashing liquid because irrespective of how much you would rinse them, the chemicals would have already entered the tissues of the vegetable and will not get rinsed away.Instead, soak fruits and vegetables with salt and then rinse with water. And to keep them fresh, add vinegar.

Please share this post with others so they can also benefit from the information.

New blow for Dubai parents as Delhi Private School to close

426students left in limbo as they are being called for an assessment in order to transfer to a sister school.

Just days following the shock closure announcement of Delhi Private School Academy (DPSA) in Dubai, yet more fuel has been added to the fire as many of the 426 students left in limbo are now being called for an assessment in order to transfer to a sister school.

The move has left many parents up in arms.

On October 17, a meeting announcing the school's closure - which will take effect in March 2017 - sent shock waves through the DPSA family.

Although parents were given an option to enroll their children in two sister schools - DPS Sharjah and DPS Jebel Ali - the transition process is not proving as smooth-sailing as parents first thought.

"I received an email on October 20 from DPS Dubai asking my KG1 daughter to come forward for an assessment. That was a shock," Ujwal Kalpavraksh told Khaleej Times.

He questioned why this course of action was being subjected on parents.

"Why should parents endure such assessments? The closure is out of the parents hands and these are schools which are part of the DPS conglomerate," he said.

And it is a move which has left a bad taste in parents' mouths.

"Many are now thinking they may as well go somewhere else."

Khaleej Times did make contact with Dinesh Kothari, the pro vice-chairman of the school on Friday, but he said he did not want to comment on this issue.

Aside from the assessment requests, many parents are also dissatisfied with the alternative school suggestions as they only offer a CBSE curriculum.

"We moved my daughter to this school because we wanted her to study the ICSE curriculum. Now they come back with alternatives for transfer to a CBSE curriculum. It's not good enough," Lata Bhadra, parent of a Grade 9 student said.

Bhadra's daughter will now be starting JSS International on November 1.

Suspicious timing

Following the October 17 meeting, Bhadra was disgruntled by the timing of the announcement.

"They strategically planned this announcement so that parents would be forced to pay the school fees for November, even those withdrawing from the school immediately," she said.

According to the Knowledge and Human Development Authority's 'School Fees Framework' refund policy, if the student attends school "for a period ranging between two weeks and one month, two months' fees will be deducted".

"They announced the news more than two weeks into the month which is simply unethical in my opinion."

School management allegedly told the parents they had been discussing the possibility of closure for six months too, another factor which Kalpavraksh said "agitated parents". Paying around Dh36,000 annually for their daughters schooling, and more than Dh12,000 for the September to December term, the Bhadra's said they will fight to claw back the November tuition fees.

How are teachers affected? Founded in April 2013, DPSA currently boasts an 'acceptable' rating by the KHDA.

One teacher Khaleej Times spoke to said children in her class have "already left for other schools".

"Others are in the process of applying for admission too. It is very sad."

And for another teacher, whose child is also a DPSA student, it has been a double blow.

 "I am now faced with the dilemma of looking for a new school for my child as well as a job for me."

DPSA is one of only four schools in Dubai offering the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE), along with Gems Modern Academy (GMA), Ambassador School and JSS International School.

Closure should not affect school sentiment

The recent announcement of the upcoming closure of Delhi Private School Academy (DPSA) needs to be treated as an isolated case.

As the education sector continues to go from strength to strength in Dubai, this recent news may shake sentiments,but James Mullan of Which School Advisor told Khaleej Times there is no need to worry.

"I think they are particular circumstances around this school which need to be taken into account."

He said 80 per cent of schools in Dubai work on a "for profit" basis, but DPSA is one of few "not-for-profit" schools.

"Despite being not-for-profit, the school still needs to make some amount of money. But it clearly had some warning signs." With many factors adding to the reasons behind the school's closure, a 57 per cent teacher turnover (according to a KHDA report) is one that has had many talking, he said.

And the high school fees did little to disable the alarm bells too.

"The fee level for this type of Indian school was high. That didn't help its cause."

For the parents hesitant to shift their child to the alternative schools suggested by DPSA, Mullan said feedback from other schools regarding relocating students has been positive.

"Schools like Credence and Springdales have responded well and are offering to speak to parents looking at other options."

Hybrid Drone Ballooncam showcased for the first time outside Japan
