US President Barack Obama has written a letter for his daughters on the occasion of Father's Day Sunday, saying that he could not be a perfect father.

'I know I have been an imperfect father. I know I have made mistakes,' said Obama in the letter that will be published in a magazine reported people.com

'I drove Michelle and newborn Malia home from the hospital nearly 11 years ago and I think about the pledge I made to her that I would give her what I never had. And that if I could be anything in life, I would be a good father,' he added.

Obama has two daughters Malia,10, and Sasha, eight.

Hi guys.Happy to meet you with this interesting post.Hope you like it. We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us. Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to ourself, our friends and our loved ones.
One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed. Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels.
Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level.
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival.
If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waiting to die'...
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift.
First - Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift.
When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further.
Second - Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any).
It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance.
Third - Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line.
Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection.
Fourth - Bend your knees
Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised during fall.
For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all!

Question: We know that 2/10=0.2

but

Prove that 2/10=2


Answer:

Normal college students insist Question is "OUT of Syllabus".

But Engineering Students replied:

2=two,
10=ten.

Therefore


Two/Ten = Two/Ten = wo/en.

w=23,
o=15,
e=5,
n=14.

therefore


w+o=23+15=38

&

e+n=5+14=19


Therefore

wo/en=38/19= 2.


Hence Proved

Hi guys, Only buy or fill up your car or bike during early morning, when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks underground..

The colder the ground, the more dense the fuel. When it gets warmer, petrol expands. So, buying in the afternoon or in the evening, your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature play an important role.

1 degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

Another most important tip is to fill up when your tank is HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank the less is the air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine.

Another useful information is to avoid filling up if there is a fuel truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy. Most likely, the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Please spare a couple of minutes here........ for the sake of India ... our country.

Small example
Before 5 months 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 32
After 5 months. Now it is 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 37

Do you think Canadian Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.

Our Economy is in u'r hands

INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.

More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here .

A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.

"COCA COLA "and" SPRITE " belong to the same multinational company, "COCA COLA"?

Coke advertisements says ' JO CHAHO HOJAYE, COCACOLA ENJOY'

(Whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke)
What can you do?

You can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks.
You can drink LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA, ENERJEE, MASALA MILK........ ..

Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you!
Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.

What you can do about it?

1 . Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2 . ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.

Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.

This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.

All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.

WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.

THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING.

MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALISATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME IT IS RECOLONISATION OF INDIA ..

Jai Hind........ .......

Lindsay Lohan is desperately trying to woo back ex-lesbian lover Samantha Ronson. It has emerged.

The 'Mean Girls' star has arranged to be in London next month, at the same time as Ronson.

The 22-year-old star and the DJ were in the city together in November last year, and with the latest visit Lindsay is hoping to rekindle some old feelings.

Lohan will do a photoshoot for British Vogue and is securing a number of other club appearances at the end of May.

On the other hand, Ronson is due during the first week of June for a series of DJ gigs.

"Lindsay has booked at the same Kensington hotel they stayed in last time," The New York Daily News quoted a source as telling Britain's Daily Mail.

And Lohan is hoping to have "established" herself by the time Ronson shows up.

The source said: "Lindsay has been quite crafty and has arranged it so she comes to London a few days before Sam and establishes herself as a force here.

"Sam has no idea she is coming to London and is booked to do club appearances, although some of Lindsay's friends have told her it might backfire and Sam might cancel in fury.

"But Lindsay has gone to a lot of trouble to get the shoot and the club appearances arranged, and she's only doing it to try and win Sam back."

Pharmaceutical firms in China and India say they can quickly ramp up production of antiviral drugs if swine flu threatens the world's two most populous nations or if other countries need it.

The virus could spread quickly in densely populated cities in China or India where healthcare systems are often inadequate and antibiotic resistance is common, health officials say.

But so far there have so far been no confirmed or even suspected cases of the virus in either China or India, where more than one out of every three humans live.

Since avian flu caught the world off guard in 2003, Swiss drugmaker Roche Holding AG has authorised drug companies in developing countries to manufacture an inexpensive generic form of its Tamiflu drug, called oseltamivir or Fluvir.

Hyderabad-based Hetero Drugs, the only supplier in India licenced by Roche, could ramp up production to reach monthly capacity of about 80 million doses of Fluvir within weeks, Managing Director Srinivas Reddy said.

"We have told them we are keeping 1 million doses ready for them, which we can supply in 4 to 5 days," said Reddy, referring to the Indian government.

India's government has already stockpiled one million doses, which could treat more than 142,000 people.

Hetero supplied 200 million doses of the drug in the last three years to India and other countries, Reddy said, adding nations in Latin America, Middle East and Southeast Asia had inquired recently about it.

While there is no vaccine for the swine flu that has killed up to 159 people in Mexico, the generic drugs have been shown to be effective in treatment.

In China, only two companies are licenced to produce generics and they must supply directly to the government at regulated prices and not through regular commercial channels.

"I believe we have sufficient capacity to meet the government's needs in the case of any emergency," Tu Langou, director of global business at HEC Pharm Co, told Reuters.

GlaxoSmithKline's Relenza has also been shown to be effective against swine flu, but it is more complicated to make and ingest.

India does not currently stockpile Relenza doses.

NO PROFIT

Vineet Choudhary, a senior official at India's health ministry, said the government had "millions" of face masks available for distribution, a key weapon against a virus that is spread by droplets.

The government will also shortly step up surveillance at India's international airports and ports, said Choudhary.

China has shown that it can react quickly in national emergencies, mobilising local and national governments, along with the military to deal with last year's devastating earthquake and freak winter storms.

HEC has not yet been asked, however, to begin production of oseltamivir, perhaps because Beijing has anyway been stockpiling the drug over the past two years, said Tu.

"HEC has supplied a great quantity over the past two years to government warehouses," he said. Tu did not reveal any details on capacity or doses shipped to the government.

The World Health Organisation recommended that governments stockpile antiviral drugs after the Avian Flu in 2003.

Roche came under criticism for guarding the rights to Tamiflu too closely after the Avian flu erupted, but eventually licenced rivals in developing nations to help meet soaring global demand and slow its spread.

HEC, Shanghai Pharmaceutical group and the Indian companies were providing the drug at reduced prices to ensure it gets into the hands that need it most.

"We do not make money from this programme," said HEC's Tu.

Amar Lulla, joint managing director of Indian drug maker Cipla Ltd said the company had the capability to supply 1.5 million doses of oseltamivir in four to six weeks.

Cipla's cheaper version of Tamiflu costs about $1 a capsule for export markets, slightly more than Hetero's 10 doses for about $6.0.

"We have received some enquiries from Mexico, Israel, New Zealand and Latin America, but nothing has been finalised in terms of exports," Lulla said.

Cipla has not received any request from the World Health Organisation to supply the drug, but the Indian government had asked whether it could supply the drug and had been told it could.

Ramesh Adige, president of Ranbaxy Laboratories, the third supplier in India, said his company was also prepared to begin supplying a generic version of the drug if needed.

Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc, a Florida-based subsidiary of Ranbaxy Laboratories, on Saturday said it is conducting a voluntary recall of the whole lot of nitrofurantoin (monohydrate/m-acrocrystals) capsules, USP 100 mg, currently on the market in the US. The drug is an antibiotic used to cure urinary track infection.

"Although certain lots of the product were determined to not be in conformity with the approved laboratory specifications, Ranbaxy decided to recall all the lots, as a matter of abundant caution, given its commitment to the health and safety of patients. Ranbaxy is continuing to look into the cause of such non-conformity," the company said in a media release.

The size of the US sales of the drug being recalled could not be immediately ascertained and a company spokesperson refused to comment. But sources in the company said although the drug was launched in 2005 in the US, it does not have significant sales there.

Ranbaxy had already seen a 14% drop in US sales in the first quarter (Jan-Mar 2009) to Rs 340 crore. Moreover, the pullback comes just months after the company faced USFDA ire on several drugs being manufactured at two of its facilities in India. Following a survey that started in 2006, the USFDA, in 2008 banned 30 drugs manufactured by Ranbaxy at its he Paonta Sahib and Dewas plants for sales in the United States. The USFDA has also put a freeze on sanction of pending and new marketing applications for drugs from these plants.

The withdrawn drug is learnt to have been manufactured from the Paonta Sahib plant.

The recall is being conducted in coordination with the FDA and will be at the retail level. "To the best of Ranbaxy's knowledge, the recalled product is unlikely to produce any serious adverse health effects. However, there is a remote possibility that the non-conforming product may increase the incidence of local non-serious gastrointestinal adverse events such as nausea and vomiting," it said. All patients at present consuming and/or prescribed this formulation should consult their physicians for alternate and appropriate medication/treatment options, it added

Ranbaxy, in which Japanese drugmaker Daiichi Sankyo last year bought a controlling 64% stake, had said last week it expected net losses of about Rs 750 crore and a 9% drip in revenue to Rs 7,000 crore.

Ranbaxy Pharmaceuticals Inc is engaged in the sale and distribution of generic and branded prescription products in the US healthcare system. Ranbaxy Labs has ground operations in 49 countries and manufacturing operations in 11 countries. USP is an official public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines and other health care products manufactured or sold in the US.
