ORGAN DONATION

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other day I came across a poster encouraging people for organ donation in one hospital.

It read as under:

 

DONATE YOUR EYES ..

LET THEM SEE THE WORLD.

 

DONATE YOUR HEART ..

LET IT BEAT FREELY.

 

DONATE YOUR LUNGS ..

LET THEM BREATHE FRESH AIR.

 

DONATE YOUR KIDNEYS ..

LET THEM CLEANSE THE WASTE.

 

DONATE YOUR LIVER ..

LET THEM GO ON METABOLISING.

PLEASE RUSH TO THE NEAREST ORGAN DONATION CENTRE AND DONATE YOUR ORGANS

BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY

We behave differently for a given situation for different reasons. I'll take the example of taking a girl to bed.

What is the difference between girls aged: 8, 18, 28, 38, and 48, 58 and 68?




At 8 - You take her to bed and tell her a story.

At 18 - You tell her a story and take her to bed.



At 28 - You don’t need to tell her a story to take her to bed.


At 38 - She tells you a story and takes you to bed.


At 48 - You tell her a story to avoid going to bed.

At 58 - You stay in bed to avoid her story.

At 68 - If you take her to bed, that’ll be a story!!

YOUR BEHAVIOUE DEPENDS ON UR AGE

WOMEN ARE CLEVERER THAN MEN

 

IS    WOMAN     WISER ????

A few days back, I posted some quotes, which cannot be termed as very complimentary to ladies. To my surprise some ladies read and enjoyed the humour part of the post. There was a request from one of my lady friends to write something regarding gentlemen.

 

I was pondering over the subject for some time. I came to the conclusion that ladies are smarter and more intelligent than their male counterpart in dealing with a practical situation. Should I call it, 'Practical intelligence?

 

The following two stories will prove my point:

 

 

 

 

Present For Husband

A woman goes to Italy to attend a 2-week, company training session.

Her husband drives her to the airport and wishes her to have a good trip.

The wife answers: “Thank you honey, what would you like m
e to bring for you?”

The husband laughs and says: “An Italian girl!!!” The woman kept quiet and left.

Two weeks later he picks her up in the airport and asks: “So, honey, how was the trip?”

“Very good, thank you.” “And, what happened to my present?”


“Which present?” She asked.

“The one I asked for - an Italian girl!!”

“Oh, that” she said “Well, I did what I could; now we have to wait for nine months to see if it is a girl!!!”

 

 

THE WOMEN WHO HAD CANCER

 

A woman went to her doctor.  The doctor, after an examination, sighed and said, ‘I’ve some bad news.  You have cancer, and you’d better put your affairs in order.

‘The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into the waiting room where her daughter had been waiting.' Well daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate when things don’t go so well.  In this case, things aren’t well.  I have cancer.  Let’s head to the club and have a martini.’

After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and more martinis.  They were eventually approached by some of the woman’s old friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating.

The woman told her friends they were drinking to her impending end.' I've been diagnosed with AIDS.' The friends were aghast and gave the woman their condolences.

After the friends left, the woman’s daughter leaned over and whispered, ‘Momma, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS.' The woman said, ‘I don’t want any of them sleeping with your father after I’m gone………

‘Now, that’s ‘Putting Your Affairs In Order.

 

NO  WONDER  THAT  UR  WIFE CAN  MAKE  U  SPIN  AROUND HER  ALL  THROUGH  UR  LIFE

DID YOU KNOW???

Very Interesting


WE DID NOT LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL

‘Dreamt’ is the only English word that ends in the letters ‘mt’. ? (Are you doubting this?)

Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing.

The sentence: ‘The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog’ uses every letter of the alphabet. (Now, you KNOW you’re going to try this out for accuracy, right?)

The words ‘racecar,’ ‘kayak’ and ‘level’ are the same whether they are read left to right or right to left (palindromes) .. (Yep, I knew you were going to ‘do’ this one.)

There are only four words in the English language which end in ‘dous’: tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous. (You’re not doubting this, are you?)

There are two words in the English language that have all five vowels in order: ‘abstemious’ and ‘facetious.’ (Yes, admit it, you are going to say, a e i o u)

TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. (All you typists are going to test this out)

A cat has 32 muscles in each ear.

A goldfish has a memory span of three seconds. (Some days that’s about what my memory span is.)

A ‘jiffy’ is an actual unit of time for 1/100th of a second.

A shark is the only fish that can blink with both eyes.

A snail can sleep for three years. (I know some people that could do this too.!)

Almonds are a member of the peach family.

An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.(I know some people like that also)

Babies are born without kneecaps. They don’t appear until the child reaches 2 to 6 years of age..

February 1865 is the only month in recorded history not to have a full moon.

In the last 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated.

If the population of China walked past you, 8 abreast, the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.

Leonardo da Vinci invented the scissors

Peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite!

Rubber bands last longer when refrigerated.

The average person’s left hand does 56% of the typing.

The cruise liner, QE 2, moves only six inches for each gallon of diesel that it burns.

The microwave was invented after a researcher walked by a radar tube and a chocolate bar melted in his pocket.. (Good thing he did that.)

The winter of 1932 was so cold that Niagara Falls froze completely solid.

There are more chickens than people in the world.

Winston Churchill was born in a ladies’ room during a dance.

Women blink nearly twice as much as men


Now you know more than you did before!!

COLLEGE DAYS

MEDICINE

PRACTICAL

EXAMINATION

It is interesting to reminiscent some funny anecdote of younger days. This particular episode relates to my Medicine Practical Exam. I must give you some background regarding the conduct of the examination. Basically a student has to face two cases, one long and one short. You are given enough time for the long case. You take history, do a detailed clinical exam, note down your finding and suggest possible diagnosis. The short case is trickier. You are given only ten minutes and are asked to examine one system thoroughly. There were many long standing patients with rare disorders who were called during the exam for a small remuneration. The Ward Boys (Attendants) of the hospital used to exploit the situation. They knew the patients well and would tell the diagnosis if you could fill his pocket.

One of my previous candidates, Amit Sen (name changed) struck a bargain with the Ward Boy for five Rupees. His patient was a case of Tabes Dorsalis (type of tertiary neuro syphilis) as told by the Ward Boy. He was overjoyed because all the findings of Tabes Dorsalis were at his finger tip.

He did not feel the need of confirming his findings of nervous system examination. As the examiners approached, he started rattling,

"Sir, my patient has tabetic wise man look with wrinkles of forehead and drooping eyelids. He has high steppage gait, Charcot's joints, Argyll Robertson pupils and tropic ulcers in the feet.. Ankle jerk is absent. There is complete loss of joint and vibratory senses".

The examiners listened to him patiently with an impassive ex-pression. When he finished his presentation, they said, "My son, your knowledge of Tabes Dorsalis is outstanding. Unfortunately, this is a case of Parkinsonism (nerve disease involving extra pyramidal system). The previous patient was a case of Tabes Dorsalis"

After this happening, I felt it was too dangerous to depend on the Ward Boy. I approached my patient with trepidation and a fast palpating heart. I was told to examine the cardio vascular system and offer my diagnosis. The patient was grumpy old man. I was not prepared for the rude shock the moment I touched his wrist to feel his pulse. He shouted in an irritated voice, "Stop this nonsense. Don't even touch me. I had enough of it. Before you three to four idiotic monkeys aspiring to be doctors poked my body everywhere and made me sick". I did not know what to do except to put up a long face. I was on the verge of tears. It was certain that I would not be able to clear my medicine that time. I prayed to have a more cooperative patient or a more reliable Ward Boy next time. For reasons unknown to me, the old man softened and took pity on me.

He said, "Look here my boy. You are a simpleton. You don't seem to be as roughish like the others. Please don't try to examine me. Listen to me carefully and repeat the same to the examiner".

Then he said like a parrot, "I'm a case of Mitral Stenosis with Auricular Fibrillation and Congestive Cardiac Failure. My pulse is irregularly irregular. I have raised JVP (neck venous pressure) and pedal oedema. Liver is tender and just palpable. Mild degree of ascetic fluid is present. In aortic area, there is loud split second sound. In mitral area, mid diastolic murmer along with an opening snap and pre systolic accentuation is present. The murmer is conducted towards axilla".

He took a pause and added, "I would advise you to omit the opening snap and split second sound. Many of the MD candidates miss it.

I had really no other option but to repeat the same as told by the old man verbatim to the examiner. As advised by him I omitted the opening snap and split second sound. When asked by the examiner whether the opening snap and split second sound were present, I humbly replied that I expected them to be present but could not hear them clearly. The examiner smiled and said, "Well done". I don't know how much of it was due to my borrowed knowledge and how much was due to my sincerity. To cap it all I got a distinction in medicine.

LESSON:

SOMETIMES GOD HELPS HIM WHO DOES NOT HELP HIMSELF

PRIME NUMBERS: AN ENIGMA??

You can't call it a conventional Blog.

It may seem like a lecture in Maths.

I published it b'coz I felt there are

so many small little things our

teachers tried to teach us

and we resisted.

IF IT IS NOT USEFUL TO U, IT MAY

BE OF HELP TO UR BROTHERS,

SISTERS, SONS, DAUGHTERS,

GRANDSONS AND GRANDDAUGHTERS.

PRIME NUMBERS

The prime numbers are interesting, whimsical and

mysterious and puzzled the mathematician for centuries.

Although the ancient Egyptians and Chinese had

some ideas of prime numbers, the credit for defining

it goes to the great Greek mathematician Euclid (300 BC).

It obeys no law. The difference between 2 and 3 is 1,

3 and 5 is 2, 7 and 11 is 4, 23 and 29 is 6,

but between 29 and 31 is again 2.

Till today there is no clear cut formula

to define a prime number.

DEFINITION: All of you are aware that

a prime number has two factors 1 and

the number itself.

e.g. 5 is a prime number

since it has only two factors 1 and 5,

where as 6 is a composite number since

its factors are 1,2, 3, and 6.

SOME FACTS ABOUT PRIME NUMBERS:

A. 1. 2 is the only even prime number.

2. All prime numbers except 5 ends in 1,3, 7, or 9.

3. If the differences between two prime numbers are 2,

they are called twin prime.

Examples: 3 & 5, 5 &7, 29 & 31.

4. Composite numbers can be expressed as sum of

two prime numbers.

Example: 100 = 11 + 89

10 = 3 + 7

5. At least there is one prime number between

a prime number

and its double.

6 At least there is one prime number between squares

of two consecutive

numbers.

7. If you add one to the square of an even number, normally

you get a prime

number.

8. If two numbers have no common factors except 1,

they are called co prime.

Example: 9 and 16.

If a number is divisible by two co prime numbers, it will be

divisible by their products also.

9. In any fractional number, if the denominator has

only 2 and 5 as the prime

Factors the decimal fraction will be terminating.

If the denominator has any other prime factors other than 2 and 5,

the fraction will be recurring.

Example: 1/20 is terminating since 20 = 2 x 2 x 5

1/30 is recurring since 30 = 2 x 3 x 5

B. For a long time 1 was considered as a prime number.

Now it is considered neither prime nor composite. It does not

fulfill

all the requirement of prime number.

1. It has only one factor and not two.

2. More importantly, each number has a unique

prime factorization. The balance will be broken

in case 1 is considered prime.

e.g. 30 = 2 x 3 x 5 (Unique)

30 = 1 x 2 x 3 x 5 or

30 = 1 x 1 x 2 x 3 x 5

C. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PRIME NUMBERS:

It is generally seen that the difference between two adjacent

prime numbers increases as the number becomes bigger.

BETWEEN TO NO OF PMIMES PERCENTAGE

1 10 4 40%

1 100 25 25%

1 1000 168 16.8%

99,99,901 1,00,00,000 9

1,00,00,001 1,00,00,100 2 (1,00,00,019 & 1,00,00,079)

D. PRIME NUMBER ENDLESS

The natural question arises that there must be a number

beyond which there is no more prime number. Euclid proved

by a simple mathematics that prime numbers are infinite.

Let us assume that n is the biggest prime number. Next we

multiply all the earlier prime numbers upto n.

2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 x 17 x . x n

If you add 1 to this number, we shall get a new prime number.

Largest Prime Number so far discovered is : 243112609 ' 1

consisting of 12978183 Decimal digits.

E. FORMULA FOR PRIME NUMBERS:

Various formulas have been framed to get prime numbers,

but none is found to be completely satisfactory.

1. Mersenne's Prime:

2p ' 1 is a prime number, where p is prime.

211 -1 = 2047 is not a prme, because 2047 = 23 x 89

225964951 -1 is a prime (7816830 digit number)

2. Fermat's prime:

2n

2 + 1 is prime, where n is a natural number

True for 1,2,4, but 216 +1 is composite.

3. Chinese Hypothesis:

An integer n is prime if and only if the number 2n -2 is divisible by n.

2341 ' 2 is divisible by 341, although 341 is a composite number

(341 = 11 x 31)

4. Euclid:

If the number 2n -1 is a prime number, the number 2n-1 (2n ' 1) is a Perfect.

Number i.e. the sum of its factors equals the number. Example 6, 28, 496 .

5. f (n) = n2 'n + 41 yields prime numbers for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 40, 43,

It yields composite numbers for n = 41 and 42.

6. Sophie Germain Prime:

A prime number p, when (4p + 1) is also a prime

e.g. 3, 7, 53 etc.

7. Goldbach Conjecture:

Even whole number is always the sum of two prime numbers.

8. Factorial Prime:

n! ' 1 is primee for n = 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 30, 32, 33, 38, 94, 166, 324, A002982

n! + 1 is prime for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 11, 27, 37, 41, 73, 77, 116, 154, 320, A002981

F. HOW TO FIND OUT THE PRIMABITY OF A NUMBER?

1. SIEVE OF ERATOSTHENES:

The most dependable way of finding out a prime number was

outlined by the great Greek mathematician Eratosthenes.

You cross No 1, No 2 & all its multiples, No 3 & all its multiples,

No 5 & all its multiples, and so on with the prime numbers

until the square root of the number.

The other methods are probability primality test. This has the 
interesting property that if it tells you the number is composite, 
then it is 
definitely composite, though it won’t tell you any of the factors. 
If it doesn’t tell you the number is composite, however, it only 
tells you that it is probably prime. The degree of certainty is 
very high, however to the tune of 99.99%.

Some of them are:

2. Fermat's Little Theorem

3. Miller Rabin Test

G. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIME NUMBERS:

If we plot the prime numbers in a circular fashion, it has a

compelling spiral image.

The sum of all prime numbers ending in 1, 3, 7 or 9 in

any repeating samples of prime numbers are roughly equal.

e.g. Upto 5023, there are 671 prime.

Ending in Total No

1 166

3 174

7 167

9 164

H. SOME ORDER AMIDST DISORDER:

Euler introduced a formula showing a direct relationship

between prime numbers and natural numbers.

:
RELATION BETWEEN PRIME NUMBERS AND NATURAL NUMBERS
 
        1    1    1     1    1
 1   + __ + __ + __ + __ + __ + . . . . . . . . .
       2n    3n    4n      5n      6n
 
 
   2n           3n         5n         7n
=    ________ x _________ x ________ x ________  x . . . . . . . . . . . .
    2n ' 1  3n ' 1  5n ' 1  7n ' 1
 
      
      Based on Euler'formula Reimann formed his 
            famous Zeta Hypothesis.
 
Reimann's Hypothesis: (1859)
 
 
1 + _____1_____ + _____1_____ + _____1______
           ___            ___            ____
  20.5 + n/-1    3O.5 + n/-1     50.5 + n/-1
 
 
  + ____1______ + . . . . . . . . . .= 0
             ____
    70.5 + n/-1
 His formula has not been proved mathematically, but it has been 
tested for various values of n and found to be true.It is not 
possible to say whether a given number is prime, but one 
can calculate the total number of primes upto that number 
by Reimann's hypothesis. 
Upto 10,000,000,000(10 Billions), there are 455052511 
Prime Numbers.
Clay Mathematical Institute of USA has declared a cash prize 
of 1 million dollar for giving a correct mathematical proof 
for Reimann's Zeta Hypothesis.

J. USE OF PRIME NUMBERS:

Apart from their use in mathematical applications, prime numbers

can be useful in commercial commodities because of their

importance in encryption algorithm such as RSA algorithm.

R Schilling obtained US patent for two prime numbers.

The comments were invertently erased, so I'm reproducing it.

PRAYER

My wife is getting operated for Colon Cancer on 3rd Mar 09. I want my islander friends to put a word of prayer to God.

 

P.S.    I’m really grateful to all friends who stood by my side at the time of crisis and offered prayers and best wishes. I offer my sincere thanks from the depth of my heart. Please do not mind I could not individually write to all of you at the moment.

The operation of total transverse colectomy has been successful. My wife has been shifted to General Ward from ICU this afternoon.

         ~~~ AMIYA~~~
