Nostalgia N. Rangabashyam on a time when doctors listened to patients, the setting up of new departments in medicine and why the city drew practitioners from all over
As a few diseases were linked with certain localities — infectious diarrhoea with Royapuram, filariasis with Saidapet and tuberculosis with the slums (which started proliferating from the 1960s) — doctors at the General Hospital never failed to ask their patients where they lived. In fact, back then, doctors asked their patients a lot of questions. Since sophisticated diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, CT and MRI scans were yet to come into use, they relied on clinical examination and the patient's description of symptoms. As a result, they had to have a more humane approach to medicine. They had to be willing to listen to their patients.
Since this was before the advent of corporate hospitals, even celebrity patients queued up at the General Hospital; the 'A' ward was full of them. Another reason was that the hospital as well as its twin institution, the Madras Medical College, had made great advances in medical science. More than anything else, doctors and professors from these institutions had a wisdom that went beyond textbooks.
In the early 1950s, Dr. Rathinavel Subramaniam discovered the effectiveness of Phyllanthus niruri (keezhanelli) in preventing liver deterioration in patients with jaundice and other liver-related ailments. When this was announced to the world, it was greeted with ridicule. Later, independent studies proved the doctor right.
Doctors had a sharp eye and were adept at spotting a student's strengths and weaknesses. Dr. C. Sadasivam, the first professor of cardio-thoracic surgery in India, with whom I had teamed up for a surgery, said I would make a good surgeon. "Your embroidery work is good. You have long fingers. And, I noticed you make 50 knots a minute," he added.
Being associated with these institutions was a matter of pride, for pioneering efforts came out of them. Dr. Sadasivam started valve replacement surgery; simultaneously, Dr. Betz started it in Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore. Dr. Venugopal established the urology department in MMC, in tandem with Dr. Bhat, who introduced it in CMC. Thanks to Dr. Sam G.P. Moses, MMC became the first institution in the country to get a diabetology department. Dr. K.S. Sanjivi, professor of medicine, started the Voluntary Health Services (VHS), which has set a benchmark for medical service in the country.
In every discipline, MMC and the GH showed the way to other medical establishments in the country. I can speak for gastroenterology. In 1976, the surgical gastroenterology department was introduced. Other firsts achieved during the decade were the introduction of laser to stop bleeding during surgery and the use of staplers. I vividly remember the surgery in Ward Number 10, where I introduced the Russian stapler for suturing the colon and the rectum. Following this, the use of staplers was encouraged in other applications too. In 1985, an MCH programme in gastroenterology was introduced at MMC.
Since the General Hospital had a rush of patients, it drew doctors and medical students from other countries — the huge patient population ensured they could see a range of cases. For example, you could encounter a patient with jaundice caused due to gallstones, and another with jaundice due to cancer. In February 1986, a group of 30 surgical oncologists from Britain came to the GH; they said they had never learnt so much in so short a time.
When I try to map the growth of medical science in Madras, a fascinating picture emerges. At one end, there were the General Hospitals (GH-MMC, Kilpauk and Stanley) providing the best medical treatment, free of cost. And, at the other, were private medical institutions, slowly growing in number and popularity. Thanks to famous physicians setting up their private practices on Poonamallee High Road, this stretch became a hub for medicine. For anyone looking for surgical equipment, a visit to Mount Road was a must. A row of shops that have survived to this day, sold them. These shops were set up by people from Sialkot in Pakistan who had been displaced by Partition.
I remember
In those days, ragging was innocuous. At the Madras Medical College, the seniors donned the roles of professors and the juniors were captive students. All they did was give funny interpretations of medical principles. The only thing expected of the juniors was hearty laughter and spirited clapping.
PROF. N. RANGABASHYAM Born in 1933, he is the former head of the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Proctology and Clinical Professor of Surgery, Madras Medical College and Government General Hospital. One of the pioneers in hepatobiliary surgery and the first to introduce staplers and laparotomy in patients with septic peritonitis in India, he has received many awards and honours, both in India and abroad. In 1987, he was elected president of the Association of Surgeons in India; in 1983, he became the president of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology; in 1995, he was elected the president of Ostomy Association of India. He has contributed chapters in the Oxford Textbook of Surgery and played a key role in getting the FRCS examination to be conducted in India. He has been honoured with the Padma Bhushan (2002), Dr. B.C. Roy National Award (1982 and 2007), the Warner Oration Award (1984) and The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Gold Medal (1995).

Thread: Cintiq or Tablet pc?
April 9th, 2010 #1
Cintiq or Tablet pc?
Ah the age old question!
I'm in the market for something awesome. I just sold my tablet pc, which I thought was a giant piece of crap. It ran hot, it was horribly slow (perhaps vista is to blame for that though) and the viewing angles on it were so bad that every piece I've painted on it came out grossly saturated. I blame this on my frugality mostly, because I wanted something I could you know, afford as an artist. But now I'm throwing caution to the wind. I just want something that works. I liked the portability of my laptop, and I'd love to get something similarly so, but I have yet to read a review that made me think it was worth getting over a Cintiq. And not only that, but the reviews I'm reading about the new Cintiq aren't entirely favorable (the 12in). I'm considering going back a generation and getting one of the older cintiqs on ebay, or just coughing up the 2k for the 21inch, but I'm afraid of having the same experience as my crappy laptop. Plus, I really do want to be able to paint on the go.
What to do? Anyone have a laptop they love? Anyone go Cintiq and can't go back? Thanks for all your help guys!

I asked a similar question about a year ago. It's all about personal preference. I tried out a lot of computers and a lot of tablets and the like and ended up with a macbook pro and a wacom intuos 4. It's working well for me. But some of the new Lenovo tablets are quite good. I know that the fujitsu tablets are good.

Other popular retarded myths.
"The screen damages to easy and gets scratches/ dents."
Well if you adjust the pen pressure settings like a smart person to where your not jackhammering the pen on to the surface then you'll be fine. Iv had mine for 2-3 years and have yet to scratch the surface.
"I cant see what I am drawing under the pen."
Have you ever painted or drawn In your life before, If not maybe your not ready for the cintiq experience. go pick up a thick paint brush and tell me how much of the surface you can see through a brush.
"the screen gets hot If left on for a long time...Idk how long this is just what I have heard"
Iv never experienced this maybe the screen does get a little hotter but mines never been noticeable.
12wx- "the screens too small i cant see anything"
This one pisses me off the most first off who ever buys a cintiq and is not used to setting up a personal workspace in painter or PS has no business painting. The Cintiq comes with 10 programmable hot keys 2 slider or what ever their called pads the pen has 2 button's if you ever get any more or different pens then each pen can have different buttons. Each key thats programmable can do a different thing in a different program. ***********BIG THING HERE *****
When you Install the latest driver it has a new feature called an express wheel. Which means when you set the express wheel to a hot key for instance ,the second button on the pen, you can press it and it will open the wheel with different menus that can be changed. With this you can set ever single hot key in PS to the back button on the pen and get rid OF EVERY SINGLE MENU. I did this with my pen set ever tool to one menu and also set a menu for media and a menu for opening ref picture now i can work in PS really fast with a huge chunk of screen and control my music with the media section of the express wheel with out leaving my work. Hope fully this helps some people. I might post some pictures of the express wheels if someone wants an example.

Yeah i've been working with a cintiq for going on 4 years now and going back to a standard tablet is starting to feel like a definate step backward. Not that a standard tablet isn't great for practice, tablets are great tools, but if you have the option of going cintiq, or wacom tablet/tablet PC, go for the cintiq. You won't regret it.
As Demo said above, a lot of the rumors are a bit over exaggerated. I leave mine on all day, and often use it for 7+ hours a day, yes it heats up a bit, but not so much that it's really a bother. I can't find any scratches on it after using it for 3 years and demo's comment about "not being able to see behind the hand" is spot on. If you've ever painted/sketched in reality, this shouldn't bother you one bit. If anything it feels more natural, which is a good thing.
Definately go for the cintiq. The tablet PC won't offer the same levels of pressure or accuracy, and laptops dont have a long lifespan anyway. After 2 or 3 years, the laptop/tablet will probably start going senile and you'll likely wish you'd gotten a cintiq.
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

Great site for checking out tablet pc's in general: http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/
Pretty helpful site and the community can help you find the right tablet pc for you based off of your needs.
With a bit of research, you can find tablet pc's with great viewing angle screens and all the good stuff. I hear that the hp tm2 (a consumer class tablet) if a fairly popular choice, but it has a poor screen. The hp 2730p (a business class tablet) supposedly has a great screen, and is fairly reliable. It runs both low voltage and ultra-low voltage processors.
What I'm personally excited about is the recently released hp 2740p - complete with standard voltage processors including the i5's and i7. I've been keeping track of it for a while and so far it looks promising. This is only an option if money is no object though...
So yeah, I'd do some digging around the site I linked to for find out all you need to know about tablet pc's. I myself have never owned one, but might invest in the 2740p once I save the funds.

New Delhi
Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: The World Bank's Country Director for India, Michael F. Carter, has in his reply to a letter sent by Arvind Kejriwal of the Delhi-based NGO Parivartan to the President of the World Bank, Paul Wolfowitz, stated that "rather than propagating serious mischaracterisations of the World Bank's actions and intention, the interest of all citizens of Delhi, especially the poorest sections who so badly need and deserve access to a better and more reliable water supply, would be better served by focusing on the difficult substantive issues in Delhi's water supply and management that need to be overcome''.
Responding to the letter, Mr Carter has called upon Parivartan to write directly to the Bank's Department of Institutional Integrity in Washington to investigate its complaint of wrongdoing by Bank staff in the award of a contract by DJB to Price Waterhouse Coopers.
He has written that the presence of enormous talent and qualified professionals in India does not negate the fact that "Delhi Jal Board in its current mode of operation is unable to meet the water and wastewater needs of the people of Delhi, especially of Delhi's poorest citizens''. "Delhi with a per capital water availability of more than 200 litres per day is able to provide its citizens poor quality water for only a few hours a day; in Africa and West Asia there are cities that are able to provide 24-hour supply with less than 150 litres per day; and typically, European cities provide continuous supply with a per capital availability ranging from 150 to 200 litres,'' he wrote, adding that in this light the Bank is willing to support the Delhi Government and DJB in initiating the necessary reform process.
In response to Mr Kejriwal's assertion that "wherever similar Bank-initiated reforms were carried out in other developing countries, water tariffs skyrocketed, water quality deteriorated, water was diverted to amusement parks and hotels and supply to the poor was cut off as they could not afford water,'' Mr Carter hoped that Parivartan would substantiate the charges in the interest of transparency.
He claimed that while there have been failures, there have been many more successes and said the assessment can be found in the Bank's Operations Evaluation Department report No. 26443 of September 2003. Moreover, he said, according to the Private Participation in Infrastructure database, 53 low and middle-income countries had private activity in their water and sewerage sectors during 1990-2003.
In those countries, Mr Carter said, 261 water and sewerage projects reached financial closure and of these only five (or six per cent) projects, involving models not being proposed for Delhi, were either cancelled or under distress by 2003.
Reiterating that the World Bank, while bound by its own Disclosure Policy, will fully concur with any disclosure of documents decided upon by the Delhi Government under the Right to Information Act.

Presented at the 96th Spring Meeting of the AAVSO, June 29, 2007; received December 4,
2007; revised January 24, 2008; accepted January 25, 2008
AbstractA study is presented regarding the nature of several variable stars
sampled during a campaign of photometric monitoring from the Abbey Ridge
Observatory: three eclipsing binaries, two semiregulars, a luminous Be star, and a
star of uncertain classification. For one of the eclipsing systems, BD+66°1673,
spectroscopic observations reveal it to be an O5 V((f))n star and the probable
ionizing star of the Berkeley 59/Cep OB4 complex. An analysis of spectroscopic
observations and BV photometry for Berkeley 59 members in conjunction with
published observations imply a cluster age of ~2 Myr, a distance of d = 883 +/-43 pc,
and a reddening of E
B-V = 1.38 +/-0.02. Two of the eclipsing systems are Algol-type,
but one appears to be a cataclysmic variable associated with an X-ray source. ALS
10588, a B3 IVn star associated with the Cepheid SV Vul, is of uncertain classification,
although consideration is given to it being a slowly pulsating B star. The environmental
context of the variables is examined using spectroscopic parallax, 2MASS photometry,
and proper motion data, the latter to evaluate the membership of the variable B2 Iabe
star HDE 229059 in Berkeley 87, an open cluster that could offer a unique opportunity
to constrain empirically the evolutionary lineage of young massive stars. Also
presented are our null results for observations of a sample of northern stars listed as Cepheid candidates in the New Catalogue of Suspected Variable Stars (NSV,
in Samus et al. 2004).

In the space of five months I had to receive news about three friends' deaths via Facebook. But it was the third death that impacted me the most. My friend, Anika tragically took her own life.
Debt has been in the news a lot lately. The major news outlets in Canada are paying attention to our record-high household debt levels and are doing some fantastic reporting about the effects of oil prices, housing, health, divorce, and all the other factors that can damage a family's bottom line. Yet amid this rabble of expert voices and real Canadian tales of debt crisis, there was one lone dissenter.
When you buy a house the first thing your eye goes to is the sticker price. But buying a home comes with a major hidden cost that doesn't show up in the MLS report: Transportation costs could more than eat up the savings of a lower-priced home in the suburbs. The concept is called location efficiency and it's the amount of time, energy and greenhouse gas emissions you spend getting from where you live to the workplace as well as your other frequent trips. And location efficiency may be the secret sauce to saving money and getting that house in the neighborhood you never thought you could afford.
Social media is an incredibly powerful tool that today is available to everyone. And like any tool, there is a right and wrong way of using it. While recruiters are not necessarily interested in millennials' selfies or meals, hiring managers are certainly looking to their profiles, timelines and boards to vet candidates and learn more about them.
I want our generation to be the last one to grow up knowing structural and cultural barriers that hold women back. I want our daughters and sons to be able to choose the same college courses and pursue the same careers -- for the same pay.
Just about every aspect of our lives involves a certain amount of risk, of course. It's all about risk management. And indeed, despite the occasional high-profile accident like last week's spill in California, pipelines in general remain very safe. One realistic alternative to transporting Canadian oil by pipeline is transporting that same oil by train or by truck. Yet both of these methods of transport are less safe than pipelines. Logically, then, we should transport as much oil as we can by pipe, and as little as possible by rail or road.
Companies in a variety of sectors are not letting potential challenges hinder their efforts to achieve a deforestation-free supply chain, however. Rather than allowing potential roadblocks to hamper sustainability efforts, corporations are harnessing technological innovations to achieve environmental and business objectives.
Putting more money in the pockets of middle class Canadians is the key to driving a more sustainable and successful economy. Not only is it a good idea but it's also fair and the right thing to do. What could be more Canadian than that?
More than 20 years ago, indigenous and farmer communities in Ecuador's Amazon went to court in the United States to seek compensation from Chevron for harm caused by the deliberate dumping of billions of gallons of toxic oil waste on their ancestral lands.

It's the good "Big Rocks" that can actually make you wealthy (or poor) so let's concentrate on the big rocks!

Individual universities are pursuing policies of climbing in international ranking of universities. This means emphasis on research, publication of research findings, and not on the outcome of teaching. They are not serving the province, the people of Ontario, their students, or many of their employees well at this point.
Consumers in border cities are able to take advantage of considerable price differences, albeit at risk of being caught by a border agent and forced to pay duty tax. The rest of the province should only be so lucky to experience an American liquor store with selection of depth and width far above and beyond what the LCBO offers.
Robots have indeed eliminated a great deal of factory work and are rapidly moving on to product design, medical diagnostics, research, teaching, accounting, translating, copy editing, and a great deal more. Once-secure professions are no longer safe. From that, many economists conclude that we may just have to adjust to a high plateau of unemployment. That assumption is malarkey.
The plight of Quebec's maple syrup industry has caught the eye of Pierre Paradis, the province's agriculture minister. While the province's share of global maple syrup production was 78 per cent ten years ago, it has fallen to 69 per cent today. We remain the global leader, but that's still quite a drop in market share.

Comments about Zoot Sports Women's Z Force 1.0 Wetzoot:
I bought this wetsuit for triathlons. It's my first wetsuit so I don't have much to compare to, but I have read reviews of other suits being difficult to swim in because they are too stiff. This one has excellent flexion in the arms. I do not feel impeded at all. It is extremely warm. My next race is in 57 degree water, and I had difficulty breathing on the practice run. I don't think I would have made it very far without the suit at all. Buoancy was great. Looking forward to many more triathlons with my Zoot Force 1.0!

I'm doing so right now by having a javascript function that does an AJAX call to the PHP script. On success, the function sets a timeout to run itself and trigger the AJAX call to run the second hundred.
My thinking behind this was to give the function a second to close out before it runs itself again.
This isn't working so well. The whole function itself works, but performance-wise it is quite slow.
When I wasn't doing 100 records at a time and not wasn't using javascript, just PHP, I could get about 15,000 records into the table before it would time out. Right now it takes about 10 minutes for it to do the same number of records.
