E- Magazine - can save the world!
By
A.S.Jayaram
No.8. I.T. layout
After reading, that day's newspaper is almost a
waste. Even if it is recycled, it will
not be like the original paper.
Recycled paper can be use only
for making covers etc.
In India about 40 crore tonnes of
Paper is used every day for News
paper printing nearly five times
that i.e. 200 crore tonnes of wood
3
pulp or tree is destroyed. This is leading to
increase in pollution and global warming.
So In this direction, as a first step let us start our
monthly e-magazine. In America many of the paper
manufacturing industries are closing down
because most of the Americans are now reading
news and magazines from the internet
5
At about Rs 5000 to 8000 depending upon the
6
quality. We can
7
easily write in it with
stylus
8
Oh! It is flexible. You can
bend it!
9
Gradually cutting of trees will be reduced and so
also the pollution and global warming
Today’s Concept is to have paper less office in this
direction even school students are motivated to
use digital books which is being experimented in
many schools
10
So I request you to learn the habit of reading e-
magazine.

pressure is called Diastolic blood pressure. Normally,
doctors record the blood pressure (BP) as 120 / 80 mm
Hg, where 120 mm Hg being Systolic and 80 mm Hg is
Diastolic (recorded in millimeters of mercury).
15
Measurement of BP
For measurement of BP, the person is relaxed in sitting
posture with arms resting on chair or in lying down
posture on a couch. BP should be measured in both these
postures. Normally, mercury based manometers are used
for measuring BP and these will give accurate readings.
Since mercury may leak, which is not environment
friendly, aneroid BP apparatus, which does not contain
mercury are being used, particularly in western countries.
Electronic BP apparatus, where patients themselves can
measure their BP at home are available. They are useful,
but needs frequent check of calibrations. 24 hours BP
measurement, which gives BP recordings under various
16
activities is possible and is used under special
circumstances.
19
When heart gets damaged, the patients may complain of
chest pain or breathlessness – difficulty to breathe,
particularly on exertion. If brain is affected, one can get
paralytic stroke. If kidneys are damaged, their function
may be affected. Eye may be affected with defective
vision. Hence, high blood pressure needs to be diagnosed
and treated in early stages.
What are the causes of High BP?
In majority of patients, the exact cause of high BP is not
known. When it occurs in middle age, it is likely to be due
to heredity. If both parents have high BP, there is 25%
chance of their children developing HBP. High salt intake
in the diet may also increase blood pressure. Hence those
who have high BP should reduce salt intake in their diet.
20
Smoking, alcohol intake, mental stress, emotional upsets
& anxiety, have all been implicated to cause high BP.
There are a small number of people with high BP where
definite cause can be found and they are labeled as
having “secondary high blood pressure”. These people
may have kidney disease, renal artery stenosis
(obstructing blood supply to kidney), coarctation of aorta
(narrowing of main artery – aorta), disease of endocrine
glands (those secreting hormones and other chemical
substances) and neurological disorders. It is important to
recognize these secondary causes of high BP, since they
can be treated and “Cure” of high BP is possible.
There are special conditions like, high BP & diabetes,
pregnancy with high BP, kidney failure and high BP which
need special considerations.
21
Treatment of high BP
Whether there is a need to treat by medication or not,
every person with high BP should follow non-drug
measures. These are:
a) Weight reduction, especially in obsess persons.
b) Low salt diet.
c) Regular physical exercise, at least 30 minutes daily.
d) Stop smoking.
e) Stop consuming alcohol.
f)Stress management by meditation and yogic exercise.
In pre-hypertension and patients with mild high BP (stage
1), these measures will help and BP may be controlled
without medication or small dose of medication.
22
Many people need medication for control of high BP.
These medications are to be taken as soon as the patient
gets up in the morning. These patients have to observe
certain things. Medications should be continued even
when BP is controlled, even when symptoms subside.
Medications should not be stopped suddenly as many may
develop rebound high BP, which may be dangerous.
Medications should be reduced or stopped only under
doctor’s supervision or advice. In most patients,
medications need to be continued over long period – life
long. Only in some cases of secondary high BP, we can
expect a “Cure”, if the cause for high BP is treated
successfully.
Can we prevent high BP?
23
High blood pressure due to heredity, environmental
factors is not preventable. We can attempt to minimize
environmental factors. Measures such as weight
reduction, salt intake reduction in diet, exercise, avoiding
smoking and drinking alcohol are some of the preventive
ones. Medication, yogic exercises and relaxing
techniques help reducing stress and hence help control of
stress related high BP.
Summary
1. Early recognition and treatment of high BP prevents
complications.
24
2. Untreated high BP may damage target vital organs like
heart, brain, kidneys and blood vessels.
3. One should not wait for symptoms of high BP. Regular
routine check of BP is needed for all people, especially
adults.
4. Low salt intake in diet, weight reduction, regular
exercise, meditation, avoiding smoking and alcohol
intake are helpful in preventing and also controlling high
BP.
5. In most people, high BP medications need to be taken
for long period – life long. Alterations in dosage or
stopping of medication should be done only under
doctor’s supervision or advice

requirement, in relation to the vagaries of changing
weather conditions.
32
In cities like Bangalore, situated about three thousand
feet above sea level, the weather variations are rapid,
planning for warm homes becomes more of a critical
requirement in such places. Houses need to be planned in
such a way that they keep warm in winter and cool in
summer.

• Most of the times
we will be talking or
taking rest, for which
some very less
illuminations are
sufficient.
3. Note: so called ZERO candles bulb is
actually 10 to 15Watt!
• It is better to have CFL of 2Watt or LED of
1Watt, which are suitable as bed lights
also.
36
• So, in a room or hall, there must be two
lights, thus increasing initial cost a little,
but we can save lot of energy, as seen in
the table 1

Where there is will there is way!

The man that you are seeing in the photo below is Rhushi
Prasad assistant professor in
mechanical department in an
Engineering college
I had to go to that college for
examination work My allotment letter
had the name of Rhushi Prasad as my
co- examiner .I had never met him
before and So l some how managed
to get his mobile number. I Started
driving my car to reach that college
but when I was half way through I got confused about
44
the road .So I called him and he said he will come with his
car to take me to the college.
He came in his car and asked me to follow his car I tried
to follow but he
drove like a
race car driver!
Any way I
reached the
college I thought
that he must be
a Strong man
with good control
over his legs so
that he can
operate clutch,
break and
accelerator pedals at high speed
45
When he got down from the car I was Surprised to see
that his right leg was almost inactive! When I enquired
about it I came to know the following interesting and
heart touching facts
He is a fan of car driving
He is diabetic and few
months ago his right leg
was removed probably
because of a wrong
diagnosis.
He never lost his
enthusiasm He went for
artificial dummy leg and
he practiced walking for 2
months But it was
impossible to drive the car
48
here shows his involvement in conducting solar energy
awareness seminar cum exhibition in the college.
We will make a big issue when we get a Small Scratch on
our skin or dent on our vehicle but real achievers will
steer through the difficulties and reach the goal without
caring for losses!
Rain water can be used for sprinkling the yard for putting
rangoli, car washing and of course for gardening purpose
without using any filter. We can easily reduce BWSSB
water consumption by many thousand ltrs by this alone.
We actually waste what is supposed to be drinking water
for non drinking purposes!
Is it cost effective?
The drinking water that is pumped up from Cauvery river
hundred kilometers away and lifted up by nearly 500
50
meters to reach Bangalore after filtration and chlorination,
is actually highly subsidized. It costs around Rs20 per
thousand liters whereas we are charged much lower, on
the average only about Rs4. BWSSB is bound to increase
the water rates, especially of those who use it for non
drinking purpose, which actually results in higher
consumption. Assuming that it is going to be about Rs 20
at higher slab rate and you use ten thousand liters of rain
water every month, then you can easily save Rs.200 per
month!
52
Our roof areas are comparatively clean, apart from dust
that flows in and settles and leafs of trees that fall off.
These items don't really carry any disease germs and for
non potable purposes rain water collected can be directly
used.
53
Filters for rain
water Starting from
grating like simple filters
costing few hundred
rupees to `Pop up' filters
developed by Indian
Institute of Science (at
about Rs.2500/-) are
available This washable
filter allows us to use the
water for just about
every thing. If you boil
the water, it can even be
used for drinking
purpose! It has been
found that for cloth
washing the rain water is very good as it is softer than
Cauvery or any bore well water. It will use less soap/
54
detergent and the clothes will look fresher as it does not
have any dissolved salts. Bore well and even Cauvery
water has lots of
dissolved salts
and other
chemicals.
Does RWH
needs lots of
investment?
To start with few
of the rain water
down take pipes
can be gathered
at one place and
the water coming
55
from these can be stored. Once you are more familiar with
the system, the entire roof area can be harvested.
56
places in Bangalore, the ground is very very dry and the
soil is
How to
recharge?
We need to dig
suitable sized
surface wells and
lead rain water to
these to allow
soaking in. The
smallest of these
rings can be of
2feet diameter and
minimum depth of
58
about 6feet if open space around the house is less.
However rings of 3 to 4 feet diameter and depths of about
10feet can easily soak in all the water from the heaviest
rain for a roof area of about 1000sq feet. Soaking speed of
course depends on the type of soil found below. To
facilitate easy soaking, boulder packing needs to be done
around the well rings. The well can be suitably covered to
facilitate periodic inspection and over the years if it gets
silted up, it can be cleaned.
Cost Factor
It essentially involves the labour for digging the well, the
cost of rings and pipes to lead to the well from the down
take pipe point. A few other items like boulders for
packing and a cover are of course needed.
