Proceedings of the Government of Karnataka Sub: Development of New Integrated Townships in the Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR) - Reg. Read.: 1. Letter No. BMRDA/ Sat. Town-01 /2005-06 dated 23.6.2006 of the Metropolitan Commissioner, BMRDA. 2. Proceedings of the meeting held under the chairmanship of Hon'ble Chief Minister on 23-9-2006. Preamble 1. In order to preserve and improve the quality of life for the citizens within the Bangalore Metropolitan Area (BMA) and at the same time to cater to needs of the rapidly increasing population, it is felt necessary to take up development of new integrated urban settlements in Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR) that would relieve the pressure on BMA and facilitate balanced urban growth. In this context, the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) has proposed the following set of major activities to solve these problems in a planned manner:- a. Development of a series of "integrated townships" focused on one or more economic activity, providing for complete work-home relationship; b. Development of Satellite Towns Ring Road (STRR), Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) and the Radial Roads; and c. Preparation of Interim Master Plans for the various urbanisable blocks in the Metropolitan Region. 2. For the development of the "new integrated townships", the BMRDA conducted an inter-departmental survey of the Bangalore Metropolitan Region involving the Departments of Revenue, Industries & Commerce, Ecology & Environment, PWD, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board and the concerned Local Planning Authorities. This led to identification of following five potential locations:- [Approximate Area in Acres] Sl. Location of the Townships Private Govt. Total No. Lands Lands 1 Nandagudi Hobli, 13762 4745 18507 Hosakote Taluk 2 Kasaba Hobli, 3621 392 4013 Ramanagaram Taluk 3 Bidadi Hobli, 6959 2725 9684 Ramanagaram Taluk 4 Solur Hobli, 9661 2864 12525 Magadi Taluk 5 Sathanooru Hobli, 5891 10341 16232 Kanakapura Taluk Total 39894 21067 60961 The locations and areas for the proposed townships were identified based on the following considerations: a. Least displacement to human habitations. b. Least disturbance to forests and water bodies. c. Least acquisition of valuable agricultural lands. d. Lower cost for lands. e. Far from existing developed locations. f. Good connectivity particularly in the wake of the proposed BMR-Satellite Towns Ring Road, BMR-Intermediate Ring Road and Radial Roads. 3. Highlights of the Proposed Townships Project i. The proposed townships will be independent, self-contained and eco- friendly human settlements. They will be based on integrated land use concepts, centering around one or more specific economic activity with concomitant residential components aimed at promoting work-home relationship. Further, it is planned to have connectivity between the townships and the proposed BMR Ring Roads as also access to the National Highways, State Highways, Railway Stations and the new International Airport. ii. The townships will be developed with proper infrastructure facilities and amenities based on modern technology and environmentally friendly concepts. The focus will be towards making them self contained for all activities. iii. The townships are proposed in the limits of 85 villages having population of about 79,000. In the course of developing the township, it is proposed to integrate these villages in a manner that will ensure conservation of local heritage and also in a manner that is economically and socially viable for the inhabitants. The resource for this will be raised from the revenue generated from the township projects, in conjunction with the available funding from developmental programmes of the various Government and Non-Government agencies and institutions. iv. Project Implementation Period is expected to be 2 years and realisation Period, 5 years. 4. The Executive Committee of BMRDA has deliberated upon the details of the Townships Project and has submitted proposal to take up development of the five township projects with the first township at Bidadi. The above proposals have been examined and the following orders are issued. Government Order No: UDD 97 BMR 2006, Bangalore Dated 18.10.2006 Government hereby approve the proposals for (i) Development of five integrated townships in the Bangalore Metropolitan Region (BMR) by the BMRDA and permit the BMRDA to develop the first Township in Bidadi Hobli as a pilot project. The list of villages proposed for each township is indicated at Annexure-1. Government also approve the following guidelines in this regard: I. BMRDA Integrated Townships:- 1. Land Acquisition a. The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) shall undertake land acquisition for the BMRDA township projects for and on behalf of the BMRDA and shall levy a service charge of 3% [three percent only] for handling land acquisition. b. The KIADB shall commence the land acquisition proceedings for the Bidadi Township project immediately with an initial advance deposit of Rs. 5 (five) crore from BMRDA towards land acquisition compensation. BMRDA shall extend additional deposit to KIADB soon after securing the bid amounts from the selected Private Developer. This Rs. 5 crore corpus with KIADB shall be replenished from time to time, depending upon the progress of land acquisition and actual payment of compensation to farmers. c. Given the magnitude of the township projects and ring road projects, it appears desirable to bring in suitable amendments to the BMRDA Act, 1985 for enabling the BMRDA to acquire land for its projects. After such amendments come into place, the options of BMRDA undertaking direct land acquisition as well as acquisition through the KIADB under the provisions of Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act, 1966 would be utilised, depending upon the time schedule and administrative convenience. d. The Government lands in the designated township areas shall be transferred to the BMRDA on terms that are consistent with provisions of the Land Grant Rules applicable to such cases. e. Land would be released to the Private Developer by BMRDA in installments, to ensure that the project objectives are achieved in the manner envisaged. f. Transfer of lands to the Private Partner will be on Lease cum Sale basis, and the Lease will be converted into Sale for the parcels of lands that are adequately developed in terms of the approved Development Plan. 2. The Bidding Process a. The Metropolitan Commissioner, BMRDA is permitted to invite Expression of Interest (EOI), Requests for Qualification (RFQ) and Requests for Project Proposals (RFP) through an open global tendering process for selection of the Private Partner. Selection would be based on technical- cum-financial bids. The Private Partner shall invest either on stand alone basis or through a consortium. b. The selected Private Partner shall be permitted to deposit the bid amount with the BMRDA in stages/ installments as may be prescribed by the Authority. c. The business model proposed is that the private sector developer deposits funds with BMRDA towards: (i) Developed bulk land cost comprising: (a) Land acquisition cost; (b) External infrastructure cost; and (ii) Regional Development Premium. Items (i)a and (i)b shall be common for all bidders whereas item (ii) shall be the deciding factor among the technically qualified bidders. d. Participation of foreign firms would be subject to the relevant norms/ regulations relating to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). 3. Town Planning Regulations a. The proposed townships shall be declared as "Local Planning Areas (LPAs)" and the BMRDA shall be the "Planning Authority" for these LPAs under the Karnataka Town & Country Planning Act, 1961. The LPAs would prescribe zonal planning guidelines and frame the required regulations keeping in view the broad guidelines indicated in Annexure-2. The Private Partner would prepare Draft Master Plan for the township in accordance with the Regulations and obtain approval from the LPA. Developments in the township would be regulated by the LPA in accordance with the approved Master Plan. b. The Private Partner shall finance and develop the internal infrastructure as per the approved Master Plan / Zonal Regulations which will include water supply & sanitation, power supply, telecommunication including broadband and internal road network within the township. The standards for these would be as specified by the BMRDA. The Private Partner shall secure firm commitments from agencies such as BWSSB, KUWS & DB etc. Likewise, for power requirements, either a captive plant or arrangements to draw power from an existing supply system on the basis of a firm commitment is required of the developer. c. The Private Partner shall also make detailed arrangements for solid and liquid waste management as also the sanitation arrangements for the proposed township. BMRDA shall, in consultation with the Karnataka Compost Development Corporation Ltd. and other competent agencies, provide assistance to the Private Partner for development of bulk solid waste management facility. d. The Private Partner shall carve out parcels of land for different usage classifications and carry out further developments / construction either directly or through further sale / lease to downstream developers. e. BMRDA would function as the umbrella organization to oversee implementation of the projects and also help create appropriate external infrastructure linkages such as the Intermediate Ring Roads [IRR], Satellite Town Ring Roads [STRR], Mass Rapid Transit [MRT] links, Bulk Power / Water supply / Drainage & Waste Management infrastructure etc. 4. Economic Integration of the Land Losers and Local Residents An innovative and inclusive approach will be evolved to integrate the land losers / local residents into the mainstream of economic activities in the new townships. Apart from development of industrial estates that will facilitate investment by entrepreneurs for different types of industrial activities appropriate to the area, the private partner shall be required to incorporate a certain proportion of social housing for economically weaker sections and lower income groups at reasonable prices. No land loser would be forced to relocate beyond the township. 5. Regional Development BMRDA shall utilise the receipts from the "Regional Development Premium" for the overall development of the Bangalore Metropolitan Region, including for an integrated and comprehensive development of the towns and villages located on BMR Ring Roads and around the BMRDA Townships and for development of forestry, in conjunction with the resources available developmental programmes of the various Government and Non-Government agencies and institutions. 6. Project Approvals a. A dedicated single window platform will be provided by BMRDA to the Private Partner for obtaining the approvals of the various regulatory authorities in respect of township infrastructure and development. All industrial units in the township will follow the normal clearance through the single window platform of the Commerce & Industries Department. Likewise, the local industrial activities for each township will be addressed by the C&I Department. b. The development of the Townships shall be in accordance with the various statutory rules, regulations etc., including the KTCP Act, 1961, the environmental laws etc. However, specific guidelines would also be notified to ensure adherence to certain minimum standards of planning and regulations. The key components of such guidelines are placed at the Annexure-2. The Private Partner/ Developer/ SPV shall prepare detailed project report based on such rules, regulations and guidelines and submit to the BMRDA for approval. c. The Private Partner/ Developer/ SPV shall enter into a Development Agreement with the BMRDA, which will give the details of the rights and liabilities of both parties as well the mechanism for resolution of disputes. 7. Subsequent Townships For the remaining four townships at Ramanagaram, Sathanur, Solur and Nandagudi, BMRDA would have the options open on implementation through either the "Bid Route" as for Bidadi or by incorporating a "Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)", depending upon the experience gained with the first pilot project at Bidadi. In the SPV Model, the BMRDA would hold appropriate minority but controlling interest and a private sector partner would be selected through a transparent global competitive bidding process, to hold majority equity either on stand alone basis or through a consortium. In another alternative, the SPV could be formed with appropriate infrastructure development agencies, which in turn will structure the entire project including modalities of financing the infrastructure development with private sector participation. Other principles as mentioned for the first pilot township at Bidadi in the preceding paragraphs would be adopted for these townships also with suitable modifications, based on experience gained. 8. Project Co-ordination & Monitoring a. The progress of implementation of the project by the Private Partner / SPV as the case may be would be monitored by BMRDA and other statutory agencies, to ensure compliance with the project objectives. b. The Private Partner / SPV shall provide adequate bank guarantees to the BMRDA to ensure the implementation of various commitments. c. BMRDA shall appoint a Special Officer for each of the townships for assisting the Private Partner / SPV in implementation of the project and for monitoring the project implementation. 9. Maintenance functions Over a period of time, i.e. when the townships get fully developed, these would be treated as "Urban Area" under the provisions of the Karnataka Municipalities Act, 1964. However, in the initial stages of development and for a specified period, it is proposed to assign to the BMRDA and its officers adequate powers to perform the civic functions of the local bodies during the transition period up to the full development of the new townships. The required legislative amendments shall be examined separately.

Paula Abdul is coming back to the reality competition judges table. But she's not bringing the magic back to "American Idol." Instead, she's joining Nigel Lythgoe and fellow new judge Jason Derulo on Fox's dancing competition show, "So You Think You Can Dance."
When So You Think You Can Dance returns this year, expect two new faces on the judging panel alongside Nigel Lythgoe -- and both have appeared as guest judges before. Rumors have been swirling lately that Paula Abdul will replace Mary Murphy, and now it's been made official -- but she's not the only one. Singer Jason Derulo is also joining the show for season 12.
Longtime judge Mary Murphy has left big shoes to fill with her departure from So You Think You Can Dance. So big, in fact, that Fox has hired two judges to replace her. Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo will join Nigel Lythgoe at the judges' table for Season 12, Fox announced Thursday. Show More Summary
Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo will be sitting alongside Nigel Lythgoe at the So You Think You Can Dance judges' table
After firing judge Mary Murphy, So You Think You Can Dance has officially hired past guest judges Paula Abdul and Jason Derulo as its two new permanent judges. In a press release, returning judge Nigel Lythgoe called this "a new and exciting panel of judges," which isn't quite true since he's still on it. Show More Summary
The 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' alum will sit with fellow newcomer Jason Derulo on Nigel Lythgoe's panel. read more

Recruitment, retention and re-engagement – the so-called "R3" – are buzzwords in hunting and shooting sports conversations. That's because industry leaders have collaborated to create an R3 plan that ATA CEO/President Jay McAninch calls the most exciting thing ever to happen in hunting and the shooting sports. That's a bold statement. By its nature, planning is far less exciting than action. So, how can a plan be that exciting? One word: unity. The plan already…
A long-running research program in two Connecticut communities found that tightly regulating hunts slashed Lyme disease cases 80 percent by reducing and controlling white-tailed deer, a primary host for disease-carrying black-legged ticks. The 13-year study, which ran from 1995 through 2008 in Mumford Cove and Groton Long Point, used hunters to reduce deer densities from a peak of 80 deer per square mile to about 13 per square mile. That decline in deer numbers slashed tick abundance by 76 percent,…
The ATA's Michelle Zeug, who made the recent trip to South Africa along with ATA CEO/President Jay McAninch, offers a day-in-the-life look at the work of a professional hunter and the requirements it takes to become one.
With a $100,000 pledge, the archery and bowhunting industry has made its support of the National Deer Alliance (NDA) resoundingly clear. The Archery Trade Association's (ATA) donation is certain to push the NDA in the right direction. "We are very grateful for the ATA's contribution," stated Craig Dougherty, Executive Director of the NDA. "Start-up funds are very important to a new organization like ours."
Did You Know?
Explore Bowhunting can be found in every public middle and high school in Mecklenburg County, Va., thanks to approval from the county's school board.

Our take: The pastor who refused to pay 18% gratuity to her Applebee's server issued an apology for writing "I Give God 10% why do you get 18" on her receipt after the photo went viral.
The St. Louis pastor who caused a stir after writing "I Give God 10% why do you get 18" on her receipt, instead of leaving a tip, has apologized for writing the note.
Pastor Alois Bell told The Smoking Gun that she was embarrassed about the whole brouhaha. The note was "a lapse in judgment that has been blown out of proportion," Bell told the blog, adding that she left a smaller tip in cash on the table.
Redditor "GateFlan" posted the photo of the receipt to the social news site on Jan. 29 with the comment, "My mistake sir, I'm sure Jesus will pay for my rent and groceries."
The picture quickly went viral, culminating Thursday in the firing of the Applebees waitress who leaked the receipt in the first place.

What The Future Looks Like For Voter ID Laws
For the first time, Granite State voters will be expected to show photo ID at the polls in November. New Hampshire now one of eleven states that require or request photo identification to cast a ballot.
But that number continues to change. In Pennsylvania, for example, a judge recently halted parts of that state's strict photo ID law.
To talk more about how voter ID laws are changing nationwide, we turn to Doug Chapin. He's an election expert at the University of Minnesota.

Bees, Bees, and More Bees
I had to name the title that after seeing the wasp post.
My problem is bees. They come around 10:00am and stay until about 1 or 2pm, but there are so many that the hummers have trouble getting to the spicket and they eat most of the solution. I will reduce the amount of sugar I use and see if that helps, but what have y'all done to get the bees to stay away? I had to move the feeder farther in the yard so that my dog doesn't become a victim when she walks out there, but it's less enjoyable now. Thanks! If I knew how to post a pic, I'd show you the great ones I took of my hummers!
I can't help you with the bees, but I can help you post a pic!!! Go to photobucket.com and register. You have to register, but it is free. Then you upload your photos. Copy the HTML code (3rd one down) and paste it in your 'message.' It'll look like code, until you click 'preview message.' Good luck with the bees and look forward to your pics :) Christy

"I customized these invites with shades of purple and sage. They were SO cute!! I was worried it would be a very time consuming and frustrating task because I had to customize quite a bit including the main wording and didn't know if it could be done. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was and how nice their customer service is. The quality was very good and the standard paper it came in was nice and thick. These will perfectly compliment our outdoor, rustic wedding!"
"the invitations were so gorgeous! I love that they have many colors to choose from && I can request anything on it. shipping was fast ! they came 3 days earlier!!(:"
"It turned out BETTER than I expected. I absolutely loved them. I love the ordering process and how you get to review/edit your cards before they are ordered. They shipped out pretty quickly."
"The designers were able to accommodate my color request with no issues. The Font is simple and perfect for the bride that does not need all the crazy details.""
"Our wedding invitations turned out amazing! The pearl shimmer is a must, adds elegance to a simple yet beautiful invitation. The initials scribed on the back of the invite was a perfect finishing touch, and all of our guests have complimented the invitation as well!"

A dot is the simplest thing to draw — so let us begin with the dot.
Take a small writing pad.
Tear out a couple of pages.
Draw a dot anywhere on one of these blank pages.
Now try to draw a dot on the other blank page in exactly the same position.
Do not trace. Do not measure — except with your eye.
You can see how wrong it would be to place the dot in any one of these positions.
If you judge with your eye the right distance from the edge of the paper, your dot will be in the right spot.
Next make several dots at random on a clean page — something like this ->
Then copy all of them on a clean sheet.
Do not measure or trace — just try to judge the correct distances.
To check the accuracy of your copy place it over the original dots and hold both up towards the light. Note your mistakes.
Practice this simple exercise until you come close to perfection. This practice will aid greatly in developing your judgment of Distance, Direction and Proportion.
We know that a cube has six sides.
We know also that each side is a perfect square, but if we draw a cube as we know it to be, it does not look like a cube.
For example, here are six perfect squares but this drawing does not look like a cube.
We know that a man has a front and a back, but we have never seen both front and back at the same time.
We know that a tin can has a circular top and a circular bottom of equal size, but we must admit that we never have seen a tin can like this.
We know that the house in the distance is considerably larger than the man in the foreground.
We know also that the mountain in the far distance is much larger than the house, but we see the man larger than the house and we see the house larger than the mountain.
Objects near us seem larger and those in the distance seem smaller.
We know that the tracks are parallel.
We know too that they are the same distance apart all along the line.
We know that the telegraph poles are all about equal in height.
Still we see the tracks getting nearer and nearer to one another, and we see the poles getting smaller and smaller the farther they recede until finally the tracks and the poles seem to disappear into a point.
The point into which parallel lines converge is called a VANISHING POINT.
Here is a simple way to find the center of a square or an oblong. Draw the diagonals and they will intersect in the center.
These diagrams show to repeat squares or oblongs in perspective.
These diagrams show how an oblong is divided into equal spaces.
Draw a line parallel to Eye level through A.
Mark equally the desired number of measurements on this line.
Draw a line from the last measurement through corner B to the Eye level.
Draw all your dividing lines to this point C.
Where these converging lines cross A-B will be your points of division.
Use the same system of repeating squares or oblongs in drawing these arches, windows and checker board.
If you look up at a group of high buildings you will find the center vanishing point far above your eye level.
When looking down, your main vanishing point is below eye level.
Note that the circles seem flatter as they come nearer to eye level.
At eye level we see only the edge of the circle as a horizontal line.
Above eye level we see the bottom of the circle.
Raise a glass vertically and observe how the circular rim changes shape until it becomes a straight line at eye level.
Drawings of glassware show clearly the perspective of circles.
The problem is to place a few figures at some distance apart; we want them standing on the spots marked A, B and C.
First, we find a Vanishing Point by drawing a projection line from point X, at the foot of the figure, across point A to eye level.
Draw line from X1 to VP for height of figure.
Next, we draw all necessary projection lines to this Vanishing Point. Then a vertical line at point A will give us all proportions for figure A.
To draw figure on spot B draw horizontal line from B to projection line X — A — VP. From point B1 draw a vertical line to projection line X1 — VP. This vertical line B1 — B2 will give you the height of the figure B — B3. Proceed in the same manner to draw in figure at spot C.
We measure objects by stretching out our arm and, holding our pencil vertically, indicating the proportionate size with the thumb — like this:
Suppose we stand before an open window. On the window sill is a pot of flowers and, in the distance, a house that we wish to draw.
Whatever the size of our drawing the proportions will remain the same. In this instance the house will be about one-fifth the size of the flower and the pot, and the flower will be almost four times as high as the pot. All objects and their proportions are measured in the same way.
After you have been drawing for some time you will seldom need to measure in this way. Your eyes will become so adjusted that only occasionally will you. need to check by measuring.
When an object is leaning toward you, the parts nearest you, naturally, seem to be out of proportion, and often hide the parts that are farther back. This visual distortion is called foreshortening.
The shape of a sphere is a circle like this ->
However, the outline shows only its shape, shading is necessary to show its form.
These spheres are lighted at different angles by a single light source.
There are, roughly, five distinct tones of shading that characterize a lighted object:
1. Lighted surface
2. Shade
3. Shadow
4. Reflection
5. Cast-shadow
The cast-shadow is the darkest shade.
On the lighted surface we usually find a brilliant spot called a highlight.

A small shop front museum but very interesting with some good artifact
The reception was welcoming and the tour,given by a great lady, was informal and educational.The museum is small but with the local knowledge and obvious enthusiasm of our guide and a member of the museums voluntary archivists we had fun and were educated at the same time. Do visit you will enjoy it enormousley.
What a unique history! You can't go to Carricaou and not go here. It's small and simple and worth it.
I visited the Museum at Carriacou last week. THe lady who runs it is the daughter and mother of two of the local artists. The museum is primarily historical, very small, but with some interesting pre-Columbian pottery, etc. Some interesting art as well. Does anyone know whether the Museum has a web site? I couldn't find one.John de email@example.com

Patio or Dwarf Varieties of Squashes
Hi everyone,
Has anyone found a good variety of patio/bush/dwarf zucchini or yellow squash?
I'm finding that squashes and melons have, not surprisingly, not thrived in my container garden.
I was wondering if switching to a dwarf variety might be an idea, but can't find much info on varieties.
I haven't tried these yet so I can't speak from experience but the local company I'm ordering my seeds from had a couple bush type summer squash.
It felt like they had quite a few options that were well suited to container gardening so I'm excited to get things growing. This is going to be my first year with actual planning and not just grabbing stuff from the store and throwing it in pots.
Eight Ball, Cue Ball, or One Ball are round zucchinis of bush variety that grow well in containers. There is also a new variety of Zucchini called Astia, which is a patio, dwarf variety that is being specifically marketed for container growing. Seeds can be found at Renee's Garden Seeds.
Bush varieties of any squash, including the crookneck and straightneck varieties of yellow squash, are what you are looking for rather than the rather larger sprawling, vining types.

Prisoners separated for years from their loved ones can now look forward to a five-minute respite twice a week as the West Bengal's Department of Correctional Services plans to introduce a scheme under which jail inmates will be able to make phone calls by paying Rs. 70 a month. "The service to allow prisoners to make phone calls is in operation in Bangalore, but the system developed here has especially looked into the security aspect of the scheme," said B.D. Sharma, State Additional Director-General and Inspector General of Correctional Services.
To address security concerns, a private telecom company was approached to design the system specifically for prisons.
At the time of registering for the scheme, every prisoner has to provide three numbers that he or she intends to call. The system creates a unique account for each prisoner through which calls can be made to any of the three specified numbers.

Lupus Health Center
What Increases Your Risk
The chances of developing lupus are higher in people who:
- Are female.
- Are black.
- Are between the ages of 15 and 45.
- Have a family history of lupus.
- Take medicines that are associated with drug-induced systemic lupus.
Certain things can trigger lupus attacks. These may include:

Living With Lupus: Lenaki's Story
I had always been an athletic, healthy person, but in my late 30s my body started sending signals that something was wrong. I was tired all the time. I had no energy. I even started losing my hair. When I went to my doctor, the staff ran blood tests, but nothing ever pointed to a specific diagnosis. I lost weight. I couldn't keep food down. I developed a butterfly-shaped rash on my face. I saw other doctors; they thought it was all in my head, and, for a time, they didn't believe I was physically...
Read the Living With Lupus: Lenaki's Story article > >
- Exposure to ultraviolet light, usually from sunlight.
- Smoking. Smoking also may make getting lupus more likely, and make it more severe.
- Some medicines.
- Some infections. Some people who have cytomegalovirus (CMV), parvovirus (such as fifth disease), and hepatitis C infections eventually get lupus. The Epstein-Barr virus has been linked to lupus in children.
- Chemical exposure. Suspected chemical toxins include trichloroethylene in well water and silica dust. Hair dyes and straighteners, linked to lupus in the past, are no longer thought to trigger lupus.
What about hormones?
Hormones, including those used for hormone replacement therapy or birth control, don't cause lupus. But they may have some effect on it.
- Most women don't have symptom flares during pregnancy, but a few women do when their estrogen levels are high.
- Although most women who get lupus are ages 15 to 45, when estrogen levels are higher, a number of women get lupus after menopause, when estrogen levels are low.
- The hormones in birth control pills have not proved to be harmful in women who have stable, moderate lupus.1 Women with lupus that isn't well controlled may choose to use nonhormonal birth control methods. These include a copper intrauterine device (IUD), a condom, or a diaphragm. To learn more, see the topic Birth Control.
Talk with your doctor about whether you should use hormonal birth control or hormone replacement.
