There are some important tips to prevent formation of eye sty. To prevent eye sty, wash your hands after any activity or after going to bathroom. Avoid touching your eyes as most of the children do after being tired. Touching with bare hands should be avoided especially if you have sore eyes. Avoid using pressure to drain the eye sty; it will burst on its own. If you try to squeeze eye sty, infection can seep into the blood stream.

Do not pop it like a pimple; it can increase the infection to other eye also. If you have touched any wound, pimple or boil, wash your hands thoroughly before touching eyes. Use clean disinfected cotton swab or cotton ball to clean areas around eye to avoid spreading of infection. Use two different cotton swabs for both eyes. Never share your eye makeup; face cloth or towel with others as sharing of these personal objects can cause spreading of infection among various people.

While it is impossible to completely prevent the development of a sty, good hygienic practices, including proper hand washing, can help prevent all forms of infection, including a sty. Other measures that can help prevent styes include

1.Not touching the eye and surrounding areas.
2.Keeping all cosmetics clean.
3.Discarding old or contaminated eye makeup.
4.Keeping eye tools clean.
5.Never sharing cosmetics or cosmetic eye tools (such as lash curlers or eyelash combs) with others.

Stye prevention is closely related to proper hygiene. Proper hand washing can not only reduce the risks of developing styes, but all other types of infections.

Upon awakening, application of a warm washcloth to the eyelids for one to two minutes may be beneficial in decreasing the occurrence of styes by liquefying the contents of the oil glands of the eyelid and thereby preventing blockage. Some studies suggest oral flaxseed supplementation to prevent the occurrence of styes.

In order to prevent developing styes it is recommended to never share cosmetics or cosmetic eye tools with other people. People should also keep their eye tools clean and generally having proper eye hygiene. Women are recommended to remove makeup every night before going to sleep and discard old or contaminated eye makeup.

Mahindra Mojo engine

Could the Mahindra Mojo be powered by a liquid cooled 300cc engine with fuel injection? When you’re talking of high displacement, the cooling system needs to be liquid. Liquid absorbs heat better, and Mahindra’s teaser video it previewed earlier this month, had a bike with a radiator. The Mahindra Mojo might be installed with a 4-valve engine. The bike’s electronic fuel injection system might come from an Italian motorcycle company (maybe Ducati?) which responds to throttle inputs as well as other parameters such as gradient and instructs the injector to deliver a richer mixture. The engine has dual exhausts which ease back pressure and should generate an awesome note while revved.
Mahindra Mojo suspension

The Mojo could come with inverted front forks usually found on motorcycles that belong to racing teams. At the rear Mahindra could fit the Mojo with gas chargers that respond to the terrain better and keep the riders on their seats all the time.
Mahindra Mojo brakes

The Mahindra Mojo could come fitted with disc brakes to the front and rear alloy wheels. The disc brakes provide immediate stopping power and suffer less from fading. They could also get radial calipers which are more effective compared to regular ones.
Mahindra Mojo instrument cluster

The Mahindra Mojo could get a digital instrument cluster that notifies the rider of speed, fuel remaining, rpm and time. There could also be an gear indicator and all this lights up on a blue background, perhaps?
Mahindra Mojo electricals

The Mojo gets twin headlamps (from the teaser video) and it could have LED tail lamps that are resistant to failure during extreme vibration, have longer life and consume lesser power. As a safety feature, Mahindra should think of placing LED indicator lights on the mirrors of the Mahindra Mojo.

Veteran BJP leader and Gujarat Assembly Speaker Ashok Chandulal Bhatt died late evening on Wednesday. He was 71.

The end came at a private hospital in Ahmedabad. Bhatt, who was suffering from heart ailment, was on ventilator since Tuesday night after his condition turned critical. Earlier this month, he had to be rushed to hospital with breathing difficulties but was discharged a couple of days later after his condition improved.

Bhatt’s body will be kept at his residence in Khadia from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. for the public to pay their last respects. Later, his body will be taken to the Assembly at Gandhinagar for paying state honours from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. The funeral will be held at 12 noon. A two-day state mourning has been declared in Gujarat.

Chief Minister Narendra Modi has expressed his deep condolences over the demise of Bhatt.

Bhatt had started his public life as a student activist, taking part in the Maha Gujarat agitation, which eventually gave birth to the state of Gujarat in 1960. He subsequently joined the Jansangh and was the president of Bhartiya Janata Yuva Morcha from 1976 to 1980. Bhatt, who underwent imprisonment during the Emergency,. became a municipal councillor in Ahmadabad in 1973 and was chairman of the Gujarat Slum Clearance Board during 1977-80.

After first being elected to the Assembly in 1975 from Khadia in Ahmedabad, Bhatt went on to be an MLA for no less than 8 consecutive terms, holding several positions, including chairing the Public Accounts Committee. As a cabinet minister, he had held several portfolios down the years, ranging from Civil Supplies, Revenue, Jails, Labour and Employment, Health and Family Welfare, Law and Justice, Legislative and Parliamentary Affairs, Cow-breeding, Devasthanam and Pilgrimage Development. He was also the BJP whip in the Assembly from 1980 to 1990.Bhatt is survived by his wife Jyoti, three sons and a daughter. One of his sons, Bhushan Bhatt, is a municipal councillor in AMC.

A day ahead of the Babri Masjid-Ramjanmabhoomi verdict that will put to test India’s ideal of religious tolerance, India was on alert Wednesday with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress president Sonia Gandhi, among others, appealing for peace and mutual respect.

While the central and state governments stepped up security to ward off any communal trouble following the verdict on the 61-year-old dispute, some said India had moved on since 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished by Hindu radicals who believed it was built on the birthplace of Lord Ram.

The demolition of the 16th century mosque in Uttar Pradesh’ town of Ayodhya triggered widespread riots in which at least 2,000 people were killed.

In a passionate appeal, put out as a half-page newspaper advertisement, the prime minister urged people to treat the verdict by the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court on the land dispute with “utmost respect”.

“We must remember the fact that the judgment, at this stage, is one step in the judicial process. The determination of the issues need not necessarily end with this judgment, unless it is accepted by all parties,” the prime minister said amid apprehensions that the ruling could reopen the volatile communal issue.

The three-judge bench will deliver the verdict at 3.30 p.m. Thursday. But the ruling can be challenged in the Supreme Court if any of the parties is not satisfied with the court decision.

Appealing to all sections of people to maintain “equanimity and tranquility”, Manmohan Singh said if any of the parties to the dispute feels that further judicial consideration is required, “there are legal remedies available, which could be resorted to”. Congress president and chairperson of the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Sonia Gandhi asked people to “respect the verdict of the independent judiciary of India”.

“I respectfully request you to have faith in the judicial system and maintain brotherhood at any cost,” Gandhi said in her appeal written in Hindi.

Added Home Minister P. Chidambaram: “India has moved on, especially the people who were born after 1992 have a different world view.”

“I hope peace and communal harmony will be maintained,” he said, disclosing that more 1.90 lakh “policemen from all formations” would be deployed in Uttar Pradesh.

A senior official added that Uttar Pradesh would be the focus of security action, particularly Ayodhya, the location of the dispute, and Lucknow, where the verdict would be delivered.

Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka and Kerala are some of the states where the judgment could “evoke sharp reaction”, the central government believes.

At a time when the Indian capital is set to host its biggest international sporting event, the Commonwealth Games, beginning Sunday, the home ministry has asked states to strictly enforce security measures in sensitive locations. Administrations have been asked to activate peace committees of Hindus and Muslims.

A special alert has been sounded for cities like Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bhiwandi, Bhopal, Bangalore, Coimbatore and Hyderabad that have a history of communal flare-ups. Leaders are also sounding caution and appealing for calm irrespective of which side the scales tilt.

The Darul Uloom Deoband, a leading Muslim seminary, has said any reaction to the judgment should be legal.

“The issue has lingered for the last 60 years… it is time the matter is sorted out. We pray peace and harmony is maintained. If any party feels dissatisfied we can always approach the Supreme Court,” Maulana Abdul Khaliq Madrasi, a teacher of the seminary, told IANS.

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) too said peace and order should prevail irrespective of the ruling.“The temple will be constructed whatever the court decision would be. But we believe in democratic institutions and would appeal to all our activists and volunteers to maintain peace and order after the verdict,” VHP leader Vinod Bansal told IANS.

“We have made peace appeals in the past as well and do so today also… Peace and communal harmony should not be disturbed. We hope that the verdict will be a positive turning point for the Hindu-Muslim unity in India. Indians have matured and have prepared their mind to accept and respect the court verdict,” Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi of the BJP told IANS.

Yoga refers to traditional physical and mental disciplines originating in India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. In Hinduism, it also refers to one of the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy, and to the goal toward which that school directs its practices. In Jainism it refers to the sum total of all activities mental, verbal and physical.

Major branches of yoga in Hindu philosophy include Raja Yoga, Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Raja Yoga, compiled in the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, and known simply as yoga in the context of Hindu philosophy, is part of the Samkhya tradition. Many other Hindu texts discuss aspects of yoga, including Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Shiva Samhita and various Tantras.

The Sanskrit word yoga has many meanings, and is derived from the Sanskrit root yuj, meaning “to control”, “to yoke” or “to unite”. Translations include “joining”, “uniting”, “union”, “conjunction”, and “means”. Outside India, the term yoga is typically associated with Hatha Yoga and its asanas or as a form of exercise. Someone who practices yoga or follows the yoga philosophy is called a Yogi.

A footbridge being built near the main stadium for the Commonwealth Games collapsed Tuesday, injuring 23 construction workers and putting the event in further jeopardy less than two weeks before the opening ceremony.

The accident was the latest setback to New Delhi's troubled preparations for the games, which bring together more than 7,000 athletes and officials from the 71 countries and territories in the commonwealth every four years.

Of the 23 workers who were hurt, five were seriously injured and taken to hospitals after the collapse of the footbridge, said police officer H.G.S. Dhaliwal.

The bridge connects the JawaHarlal Nehru Stadium - the site of the opening and closing ceremonies and the track and field competition for the Oct. 3-14 games - with a parking lot.

Earlier in the day, Commonwealth Games Federation president Michael Fennell contacted the Indian government and urged them to finish work on the athletes' village, which many have called "unlivable."

The much-awaited judgment on Friday to decide the title suit on ownership of the land on which the Babri Mosque stood in Ayodhya until its demolition on December 6, 1992 involves 28 issues framed by the special Lucknow

bench of the Allahabad high court.

The court may not rule on each of these issues, but it seems to have left no avenue unexplored, even directing excavation of the site to unearth evidence.

There are actually five title suits before the court that it has to decide on even though its ruling will also dispose of dozens of other petitions for access, right to worship or pray, write petitions and the like.

It is to be seen whether the court can settle issues that are historical or mythological, as back in 1994, the Supreme Court had refused to go into these very aspects while returning a Presidential reference on the matter.

The first suit goes back to 1885 when Mahant Raghubar Das filed a title suit in a Faizabad court to build a chabutra (raised platform) on the outer courtyard of the disputes structure, but his suit was dismissed on the ground that the event (alleged demolition of an original Ram temple in 1528) had occurred over 350 years earlier, and so it was 'too late now' to remedy the grievance.

It was revived in December 1949 when some people broke open the structure's locks and installed a Ram idol and articles of worship and the administration ordered the status quo that led to two separate civil suits filed on January 16, 1950 by Hindu Mahasabha member late Gopal Singh Visharad and Paramhansa Ramchandra Das, keeper of the Digambar Akhada in Ayodhya.

Friday's judgment will not be a final verdict on the dispute that has been raging for decades as to whether there was the Ram mandir at the site that was pulled down to build the mosque, as it can be appealed in the Supreme Court by either side.

Even the Supreme Court ruling can be challenged for a review by the same bench or by a 5-judge bench through a curative petition.

All the same, the issues that the judges framed for ruling try to cover every possible aspect under the legal system.

These include:
Whether the demolished structure was a mosque as claimed by the plaintiff Muslim organisations;
If so, when was it built and by whom -- Mughal emperor Babar or his Awadh governor Mir Baqi Tashqandi;
Was it built on the site of a demolished Hindu temple?
Whether Muslims prayed in the Babri mosque from time immemorial;
Whether they possessed the property openly and continuously from 1528 when it was allegedly built;
Whether they possessed it till 1949 when they were dispossessed;
Whether the suit was filed too late;
Whether the Hindus have earned the right to pray at the site through adverse and continuous possession;
Whether the plot is Ram's birthplace;
Whether Hindus have worshipped the site as Ram's birthplace from time immemorial;
Whether the idols and other objects of worship were placed in the structure on the night of December 22-23, 1949, or whether they had been there before.
