EXPIRED DRUGS MAKING BACK TO MARKET WITH FRESH LABELS

How can people do this:

Bringing back Expired drugs into the retail market by fixing fresh labels bearing new manufacturing and expiry dates.

As a person who loved studing Toxicology, I was astonished to see how people could do this. How many people would have been affected by this. Drugs would act differently after expiry date. It sure would have killed so many people and would have created toxic reaction to various people instead of treating them.

Is money that important for these people above the health of the other person.
Will this person give expired medicines to his mom, dad, children and dear ones?

Please people never do these type of business.

Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, India should perform regular test on random samples from market to eliminate this type of business.

We have visionary leaders who wanted to take countries forward. Think about their sacrifices.

Even if you cannot do 1% of Good that they did, do not do anything bad.

I am sorry even to write about these people in my blog.

Praying to God that these type of selfish human with such type of greed should never be in this world.

Natural Calamities - Needs Monitoring & Alerting Systems

We are in 21st century and still facing enormous amount of deaths due to natural calamities.
We know about the plate tectonics several years before.
We know several countries lie in the Earth's fault layers.
We have excellent structural engineers and several quality institutes conducting
geological, civil and structural engineering, environmental and monitoring research.
Authorities who work for welfare of World such as United Nations should
provide monitoring devices to countries that mandatorily require monitoring systems. These systems can monitor future natural disasters and can signal or alert people to move to safe zone.
Builidngs should be built with earth quake resistance capability.
Several studies have been made for earth quake resistance capability building with minimal cost.
These information needs to be provided and implemented in all countries atleast along the fault lines.
This type of work should have been started in 20th century even.
Better Late than Never.
Also we should follow - PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE - not only in medicinal apsect, but in every other problems.

Several studies such as the following:
Monitoring
Under Sea Monitoring
Warning Systems
Building Tutorials

are available. We have to integrate these and create monitoring and alerting systems which would save several lives.

Now we have to
pray
for the people who is affected,
for natural calamities not to happen again
for implementing monitoring and signalling systems and mainly:
Please give whatever you can to the affected people.

Erode Mahesh - Postive Thinking

Couple of weeks back I had the privilege of driving Erode Mahesh from Orlando to Tampa. While driving we had good conversation and found that he is not just a Tamil Standup comedian.He had great views over the future with excellent positive thinking.

I thank God that I got this opportunity and talked about EnviroApps Projects.
He said he will spread out Environmental awareness in his talks.
It goes deep into the minds of people when such people deliver the message to all kind of audiences.


I wish him great success.

Dr. Abdul Kalam - What can I give?

In one of my earlier blogs I wrote:

Praying to God to bring more people into Earth, who contributes to betterment of the Earth, it's inhabitants and it's future generations.

Last weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Adbul Kalam in person at Casselberry Hindu temple auditorium near Orlando, FL.



He gave an excellent speech and I thank God for letting me to see such a person. He wanted each and every person to always think ...what can I give. He said even if you cannot help monetarily, you can help by teaching or doing any voluntary work, wherever you live.

Our EnviroApps Sustainable Land Development Project will be done following his words.

Again praying to God - One day there should be a peaceful world as Dr. Kalam envisioned. People living in harmony, creating a sustainable future without any selfishness must be the future, I Pray.

Please give and do Good....

Toxic Dry Walls, Lead Toys, Contaminated Tooth Paste, Defective tires... Long list

Drywalls - smells like sulfur(rotten eggs) and it tarnishes metals and ruins appliances and electronics by corroding pipes and wires - newly added to the long lists of
Contaminated toothpaste, lead-tainted toys and defective tires.
Children are growing in these toxic environments rather than healthy environment.

People (Manufacturers) - Please atleast try to do Good things...so future generations can live in a proper environment.

Speaking for all...

Good Speech:



Hopefully after watching this video, each and every one of us should atleast do something good for the future.

EASMSAE - Palindrome for Pachyderms

As an environmental scientist, I am always fascinated by the forest resources near my house in India (Pollachi) and Asian elephants living there.

My previous article on Elephants.
I got an opportunity to write a proposal to save these great animals and submitted it to a funding agency - Asian-Elephant-Conservation-Fund:

EASMSAE PROJECT SUMMARY:
A. EnviroApps Sustainable Model for Saving Asian Elephants
Proposal Summary:
EnviroApps Inc, an environmental application entity, is proposing a model project directed to save the Asian Elephants with a committed team. Our previous experience includes providing GPS consulting to government authorities to capture dangerous illegal poachers who had destroyed several threatened fauna and killed invaluable Asian Elephants for their tusks. Also we have created awareness through our blogspot and other partners about Environmental Awareness and Eco-Justice.

Proposed areas of the project -:
Area (Figure 1):
Tamil Nadu – India – Western Ghats – Anamalai

Figure 1: Map of Proposed Trans-Boundary Project Area


Table Information:
Location Area Forest Area Elephant
Population Threat
Tamil Nadu
Anamalai 130,058 km² (50,216 sq mi). 22,643 km² (8,742.5 sq mi). > 4000 Reduction in forest area elephant population and their habitat

Threatened Elephant Population:
The proposed area consists of various threatened environment including elephant reserves. Even though the elephant population in the State is reasonably stable, their habitat is shrinking and they move towards the urban land, which is an immediate threat to the pachyderm population. Another major threat such as poaching had come down in this region, and this could be one of the reasons for the reduction of the elephant population. Current male-female ratio of the elephants in the wild in Anamalai is 1:10. This area needs to be mapped as “protected area” and elephants need to be identified, radio-collared and data should be stored and available to everyone in need. If immediate action is not taken, Eco-justice will not be served to the remaining few wild pachyderms in this area.

However after few days got a reply as follows:

This is to inform you that your proposal (ASE-0428) titled “Enviroapps sustainable model for saving Asian elephants (EASMSAE),” was reviewed recently by the proposal review committee. The review committee decided not to fund this project.

We appreciated the opportunity to review your proposal and please continue to do your part in protecting the Asian elephants.

Good Thing: There are lot more scientists who are putting their efforts in saving these Great Animals.

My Sincere Thanks to KinathuKadavu MLA Mr. S. Damodharan and K. Selvaraj, Forester for giving their support letters in a short notice. It is good to know that several people are interested in saving our forest, environment and animals including pachyderms.

We will be working with - EnviroApps Sustainable Model for Saving Asian Elephants - EASMSAE - Palindrome for Pachyderms in whatever ways we can.

One thing which I felt very much satisfied after submitting the proposal was that I got an email from someone whom I don't know with the following photos:

Guruvayoor Elephants:

Elephant's mouth - it is like saying thank you:

Offering Bananas

It was like God sent thankyou note for the true work to protect the elephants.
