DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:
Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute
3.. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure (30 days)
2. Gastric (10 days)
3. Diabetes (30 days)
4. Constipation (10 days)
5. Cancer (180 days)
6. TB (90 days)
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily..
This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:
· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.

SQL Query Optimization

Sql Statements are used to retrieve data from the database. We can get same results by writing different sql queries. But use of the best query is important when performance is considered. So you need to sql query tuning based on the requirement. Here is the list of queries which we use reqularly and how these sql queries can be optimized for better performance.

SQL Tuning/SQL Optimization Techniques:

1) The sql query becomes faster if you use the actual columns names in SELECT statement instead of than '*'.

For Example: Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name, last_name, age, subject FROM student_details;

Instead of:

SELECT * FROM student_details;

2) HAVING clause is used to filter the rows after all the rows are selected. It is just like a filter. Do not use HAVING clause for any other purposes.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT subject, count(subject) 
FROM student_details 
WHERE subject != 'Science' 
AND subject != 'Maths' 
GROUP BY subject;

Instead of:

SELECT subject, count(subject) 
FROM student_details 
GROUP BY subject 
HAVING subject!= 'Vancouver' AND subject!= 'Toronto';

3) Sometimes you may have more than one subqueries in your main query. Try to minimize the number of subquery block in your query.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT name 
FROM employee 
WHERE (salary, age ) = (SELECT MAX (salary), MAX (age) 
FROM employee_details) 
AND dept = 'Electronics'; 

Instead of:

SELECT name 
FROM employee
WHERE salary = (SELECT MAX(salary) FROM employee_details) 
AND age = (SELECT MAX(age) FROM employee_details) 
AND emp_dept = 'Electronics';

4) Use operator EXISTS, IN and table joins appropriately in your query.
a) Usually IN has the slowest performance.
b) IN is efficient when most of the filter criteria is in the sub-query.
c) EXISTS is efficient when most of the filter criteria is in the main query.

For Example: Write the query as

Select * from product p 
where EXISTS (select * from order_items o 
where o.product_id = p.product_id)

Instead of:

Select * from product p 
where product_id IN 
(select product_id from order_items

5) Use EXISTS instead of DISTINCT when using joins which involves tables having one-to-many relationship.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT d.dept_id, d.dept 
FROM dept d 
WHERE EXISTS ( SELECT 'X' FROM employee e WHERE e.dept = d.dept);

Instead of:

SELECT DISTINCT d.dept_id, d.dept 
FROM dept d,employee e 
WHERE e.dept = e.dept;

6) Try to use UNION ALL in place of UNION.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name 
FROM student_details_class10 
UNION ALL 
SELECT id, first_name 
FROM sports_team;

Instead of:

SELECT id, first_name, subject 
FROM student_details_class10 
UNION 
SELECT id, first_name 
FROM sports_team;

7) Be careful while using conditions in WHERE clause.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name, age FROM student_details WHERE age > 10;

Instead of:

SELECT id, first_name, age FROM student_details WHERE age != 10;

Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE first_name LIKE 'Chan%';

Instead of:

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE SUBSTR(first_name,1,3) = 'Cha';

Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE first_name LIKE NVL ( :name, '%');

Instead of:

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE first_name = NVL ( :name, first_name);

Write the query as

SELECT product_id, product_name 
FROM product 
WHERE unit_price BETWEEN MAX(unit_price) and MIN(unit_price)

Instead of:

SELECT product_id, product_name 
FROM product 
WHERE unit_price >= MAX(unit_price) 
and unit_price <= MIN(unit_price)

Write the query as

SELECT id, name, salary 
FROM employee 
WHERE dept = 'Electronics' 
AND location = 'Bangalore';

Instead of:

SELECT id, name, salary 
FROM employee 
WHERE dept || location= 'ElectronicsBangalore';

Use non-column expression on one side of the query because it will be processed earlier.

Write the query as

SELECT id, name, salary 
FROM employee 
WHERE salary < 25000;

Instead of:

SELECT id, name, salary 
FROM employee 
WHERE salary + 10000 < 35000;

Write the query as

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE age > 10;

Instead of:

SELECT id, first_name, age 
FROM student_details 
WHERE age NOT = 10;

8) Use DECODE to avoid the scanning of same rows or joining the same table repetitively. DECODE can also be made used in place of GROUP BY or ORDER BY clause.
For Example: Write the query as

SELECT id FROM employee 
WHERE name LIKE 'Ramesh%' 
and location = 'Bangalore';

Instead of:

SELECT DECODE(location,'Bangalore',id,NULL) id FROM employee 
WHERE name LIKE 'Ramesh%';

9) To store large binary objects, first place them in the file system and add the file path in the database.

10) To write queries which provide efficient performance follow the general SQL standard rules.

a) Use single case for all SQL verbs
b) Begin all SQL verbs on a new line
c) Separate all words with a single space
d) Right or left aligning verbs within the initial SQL verb

History of Dindigul and Dindigul Fort

Dindigul, headquarters of the district, is in the middle of an extensive plain of red soil surrounded by hills: on the east by Aiyalur and Karandamalai hills, on the south by the Sirumalai and on the west by the lower Palani hills.

The nomenclature of the word ‘Dindigul’ is derived from the great isolated rock 380 metres above the sea level. The wedge-shaped rock, situated at the western flank of the town, is called ‘Dindu-Kal’ meaning “pillow rock’ from its resemblance to a pillow. The combination of the two Tamil words ‘Dindu’ and ‘Kal’ gave the name Dindigul to the town. In fact, inscriptions mention the word ‘Dindigul.’There is a fortress built upon it which looks like a crown adding beauty to this great rock and the place around it. It was the capital of a vast province of eighteen palaiyams under Visvanatha Nayaka (c.1529-1564 A.D.) covering the present day taluks of Vedasandur, Nilakottai, Uttamapalaiyam,Palani and Periyakulam.

The Dindigul fort is believed to have been built by Muthu Krishnappa Nayaka of Madurai (1601-1609 A.D.) On the top of the hill is a dilapidated temple dedicated to Abhiramiamman which might have been built by him. It is believed to have been originally a Siva temple,dedicated to Lord Padamagiriswara,built by the Pandyas whose architecture it resembles. The assumption may be correct. An inscription of Achyuta Deva Raya (1529-1542.A.D.) of Vijayanagar, dated 1538, recording the gift of money to the temple, appears on the wall of the Goddess Abhiramiamman temple. Similarly, a fragmentary inscription of (Konerimaikondan) Pandya period, denoting lands, appears on the walls of the Siva temple.

The walls of the fort are made of brick and stone and run round the crest of the whole rock except in the southern side which is so perpendicular that rendered artificial protection unnecessary. Tipu Sultan removed the statue of Abhiramiamman to the town in order to prevent the spies from entering the fortress.

On the south western side of the rock, close to the west corner of the fort, there is a cave 60 metre long 6 metre broad and 1 metre high. It contains rock-cut beds resembling to the Jain- caves of Thiruparankundram. The Pandya inscription on the Siva shrine attests to the presence of Jains in Dindigul.

Syed Sahib, brother-law-of Tipu Sultan, altered and improved the fort in the modern style when he was in charge of the Dindigul province from 1784-1790 A.D. The British innovated and systematically strengthened in the years 1797 and 1798. The buildings on the submit were established as prison and arsenal for military stores and it was well provided with guns. The garrison that stationed in the fort was totally dismantled in the year 1811 owing to a malignant and epidemic fever that raged in the southern province towards the end of 1810.

Medicinal Knowledge of Valaiyans in Karandamalai hills near Dindigul District, Tamilnadu, India
