Want to Loose Weight?

2015-02-18T17:07:00.001+00:00

There are so many methods to loose weight that people try out these days. In this post I'll be talking about medicines available in sri lanka specifically for the purpose of slimming your body.

When I think about it most of such drugs are marketed by the importers through attractive TV commercials. But if it is a medicine proven for quality, safety and efficacy on giving results such chemicals are registered as "Drugs" (Medicines) under the sri lankan drugs Act. More importantly such registered drugs cannot be promoted using advertisements to the general public and should be prescribed only by a doctor (except for drugs in schedule I and IIA under the CDDA Act). This brings up the fact that most slimming capsules,tablets and powder sachets that are promoted heavily these days on morning TV programs are not actually registered as a western medicine, but as a aryurvedic product. The reason is probably because they cannot prove the efficacy of the drug, that the content is giving this much of effect for anyone who use this much of amount per a day- They cannot prove it!.

So like I mentioned there are many products coming under aryurvedic category available in sri lankan pharmacies-. products like "SLIMEXOL" from baraka is a product comes in capsule form made by using goraka. There is another product called "AyurSLIM" manufactured by Himalaya(india). Popular products like "SURE SLIM" is also a capsule which i know for fact that now has reduced its popularity. There are capsules made using green tea extracts which is said to be effective than drinking green tea. For example "SLIMGREEN","HIGREEN" like capsules does not give results for everybody in the same way. There are "GTRIM" like sachet form greentea extracts that is promoted as more effective than normal green tea. But as I explained earlier, we cannot gaurantee the effect.

There is one special chemical compound that is registered as a drug in Sri Lanka, is "Orlistat" which comes under the famous brand name "XENICAL". this drug is originally not for slimming purposes. It is actually a Lipid lowering drug. Lypace is the enzyme that is responsible of absorbing dietary lipids from our intestine. Orlistat can inhibit this action of Lypace thereby it prevent absorption of lipids from what you eat. So this is recommended for loosing weight as well. I have seen how people transform their body miraculously by using this product just for several weeks. But as it will prevent absorbing important vitamins from your food it is not recommended to use for a long term. In order to buy this, unlike other products, you have to bring the doctor's prescription.

This is a small summary for weight loosing products available in sri lankan drug stores. I hope this would be helpful for those who are interested.

ප්‍රති හිස්ටැමින ගැන ඔබ දන්නවාද?

Just started my Carrier!

2014-12-23T17:00:00.000+00:00

After completing all of the academic activities related to my degree, I got the privilege to start my carrier even before I pass out from the university. I always had the dream to work in IFS, the well known ERP systems company and luckily, as I expected i could join to IFS, as a software engineer, after a series of interviews. It was the first interview I attended after completing my degree, and I got selected. There were 17 fresh graduates recruited from my batch, so there was no reason to be nervous on anything.

22nd December was the commencing date, and we were warmly welcomed by the training and HR managers of the company. We had a series of introductory sessions on various aspects of the organization which encouraged us to give our best to company while developing ourselves as a professional. IFS values the work life balance of its employees and I consider that as much more important in the long run. There is a friendly, yet challenging working environment where we can see the satisfaction of its employees at a glance.So from today onwards I'm also an IFSer, a member of a global organization. It's a relieving feeling that finally I'm no more dependent on my parents. Again I think I'm a much more responsible person as well towards my company and society to give my best as a person. and Yes, I'm Ready! :)

Use of Pain Killers (NSAIDs) in Pregnancy

2013-09-06T03:11:00.000+01:00

NSAID's are drugs that inhibit prostoglandin systhesis and used as anti-inflammatory drugs. In General term, they are drugs that we use as "pain killers". Paracetamol has relatively liitle anti-inflammatory activity, unlike other common analgesics such as Aspirin and Ibuprofen(Brufen). Therefore it is not generally classified as an NSAID.
Other than Paracetamol there are so many NSAIDs that are used for different conditions.
ex: Salicylates

Aspirin
Diflunisal
Methyl Salicylate topical

Propionic Acid Derivatives

Ibuprofen
Naproxen
Ketoprofen
Fenoprofen

Acetic Acid derivatives

Indomethacin
Sulindac
Ketarolac
Diclofenac

Enolic Acid derivatives

Piroxicam
Meloxicam
Tenoxicam

Fenamic Acid derivatives

Mefenemic acid
Tolfenamic Acid

Other than above there are some selective COX II inhibitors that are available in sri lanka, such as Celecoxib and Etoricoxib.

But none of these NSAIDs are recommended during First Trimester of Pregnancy. and even after that time period NSAIDs should not be used as a regular pain killer in pregnancy. Do you know why?

You know when a baby growing inside mother's womb, he does not breath by his own. He breaths what his mother breaths. So his lungs are not functioning until he comes out. DA(ductus arteriosus) is a blood vessel connecting the pulmonary artery to the proximal descending aorta. Development of DA is happening in the first trimester of pregnancy. and this process can be blocked by NSAIDs. Because to develop the DA prostaglandin activity is essential. So it is strictly contra-indicated in first trimester. But in late pregnancy, indomethacin is prescribed to close the DA, or to delay the labour in some conditions.

Important things about "Chicken Pox"

2013-06-17T12:58:00.002+01:00

Chicken pox is an air borne disease which spreads through coughing sneezing of patients. It is a virus infection considered as highly contagious. A patient will find blisters all over the surface of his body and some times in throat, nose, oral cavity like internal areas as well. The early symptoms in adolescents and adults are nausea, loss of appetite, aching muscles, and headache. It is also called as "Herpese Zoster". Anyway chicken pox is one of the few viral diseases that has medicines for treatment.The drug used is "Acyclovir" For adults in Sri Lanka, the normal dose is 800mg x 5 times daily x for 5 days

However in pregnancy and in elderly getting chicken pox may increase the risk of developing lung infections (sometimes pneumonia). Therefore they also should be treated with Acyclovir. But for children between 1-10 years, it is not necessary to treat with medicines as they will show minor symptoms. It is better to get immunity naturally coz it will last for a long time. If anybody wishes to take medicines, the treatment should be strated with appearance of the first blister. Because the ultimate goal of taking drugs is to minimize the amount of blisters appearing.

Other than Acyclovir , there is a vaccine called " Varizella Zoster"available that will prevent one from getting chicken pox. It is a live vaccine having two doses. second dose is given after 6 weeks from the first one. Pregnancy should be avoided by females for 3 months after vaccination.

Paracetamol poisoning

2013-06-17T12:11:00.000+01:00

Paracetamol is considered as a popular over the counter medicine used as a pain killer. The normal dose is 2 tablets 6 hourly which will be add up to maximum of 8 grams per day. But if somebody take more than 10grams, it will lead to fatal liver failure condition. Paracetamol is considered as a hepatotoxic drug when it is used exceeding the limits.
However what happens when somebody takes paracetamol overdose would be like this. Paracetamol will be metabolized into 3 metabolites where one of them is extremely toxic to the liver.This is called N-Acetyl Benzoquinomine (NAPQI). The body naturally has sufficient amount of enzyme called glutathione to eliminate NAPQI with urine when it comes to the normal dose(maximum of 4 grams). But if there was any extra amount it will not be eliminated from the liver due to lack of sufficient glutathione. This can be very toxic to the liver and will finally lead to acute liver failure.
A person who take paracetamol for suicide purposes will not find anything happen to them in the first 24 hours.(Even though this is the time period that can save the patient, with antidotes) After 24 hours the drug will be absorbed into the blood and start destroying the liver cells. Within 3 days many patients turned into yellow and they have constant vomiting with severe abdominal pain.And then they die with acute liver failure.
There are 2 antidotes that can save a patient who is hospitalized within 24 hours.

N-Acetyl Cysteine Inj
Methionine Powder- orally (should be given within 8 hours)

N-Acetyl Cysteine will act as glutathione and will bind with NAPQI to eliminate the toxic chemical with urine. But note that this treatment is not effective after 24 hours.

Vitamin B ඌනතාවය, ඔබගෙ මතක ශක්තිය දුර්වල වීමට සහ නිදිමත ස්වභාවයට හේතුව විය හැක.

මා හද බැඳ ගත් ඉංග්‍රීසි කවියක්....

2013-06-17T07:53:00.002+01:00

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

Static Binding VS Dynamic Binding

2013-06-17T07:49:00.000+01:00

Hope you are familiar with the Fish tank example by now.If I brief it a little we created a Fish class which is the parent class or the super class of several other sub classes namely,TankCleaner class,GoldFish class. and we demonstrated our fish tank using the FishDemo class.Thanks to the concept inheritance in OOP, we can extend the super class and inherit its methods and attributes to its sub classes.

So in this way, we can create an object like this.
ex [1]-----> Fish f1=new Fish();

here, our object name is f1, and it's type of a typical GoldFish.and its reference type also GoldFish.
ex[2]-------> Fish f2=new GoldFish();
here our object name is f2 and its object type(instance type) is GoldFish, while it references Fish.

Using the concept overriding, it is possible to insert the methods available in Fish
class, to its subclasses. Overriding helps us to increase the usability by implementing the same method in different ways. when overriding we have to have the same method signature. [method name and input parameters.return types are not included into method signature.]
Think about a method available in Fish class called,swim().
public void swim(){
System.out.print("Fish is swimming");
}

And think that there is an overrided method in GoldFish class like this.

  public void swim(){
System.out.println("GoldFish is swimming");
}

lets move on to our todas topic. if a "f1" object is created as ex[1], and we call the swim method for it like this what will happen??
       f1.swim();
obviously it will return    Fish is swimming

But think about   f2.swim();
You will se that it will return   GoldFish is swimming

Lets digg into the theory behind this. when running the second example, at the compile time, the compiler has to think about 2 options whether to implement the super class's implementation or the sub class's implementation.Actually the the compiler does not decide anything and it leaves it to be decided at the run time.Since the object is considered as as a real world object, it should be implemented in the real world way.this is decided at the run time. This binding is called , Dynamic binding.

Dynamic binding happens only for methods which are inherited from super classes and overridden in the sub classes.Such method calls are bound, based on their actual object type.

Static binding
If the compiler can resolve the binding at the compile time only then such a binding is called Static Binding or Early Binding.All the static method calls are resolved at compile time itself and hence we have static binding for static method calls.
  Similarly, access to all the member variables in Java follows static binding as Java doesn't support (in fact, it discourages) polymorphic behavior of member variables.
So it is worth to have a clear understanding, that variables are bound at the compilation time.

How to install Apache Ant in windows 7

2013-04-21T13:58:00.001+01:00

Apache Ant is used for creating build files. Let's see how to install apache ant to your computer successfully.

First you need to download the zip file from this url.

https://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

Make sure you extract the file into a folder called APACHE_ANT. inside that there should be bin, manual, etc, lib like folders. Then you have to copy the path to the APACHE_ANT. In my case it is this.

E:\program filez\ANT-HOME

Then go to System Properties window and and click on environmental variables. Computer->(on the upper corner of my computer window ) System Properties

There you will find this window.

Edit the 1st appearing table containing user variables.

Type the variable name as ANT_HOME. and add the copied path as the value. You should have already added java home variable. If not click on New tab and add JAVA_HOME variable as well. it's value should be the path to your JDK.

Then in the system variables table find the Path variable. You have to add some additional thing to the existing one. so just type a semicolon (;) at the end of the current path. The go to the ANT_HOME folder you created and go to the bin folder inside it. copy the path and paste it after the semicolon. hit ok and now you are done !!!.

To check whether you have installed it correctly type "cmd" at the search area of start button and get the command prompt. then just type ant and hit enter. If you get a msg like this you have installed ant correctly.

Artificial Intelligence- another computing paradigm

2013-02-11T12:36:00.000+00:00

The aim of artificial intelligence is, in some way try to make computers perform tasks that humans tend to be good at. It fills the gap between scientists who study about human behavior and computer scientists. A computer will always obey exactly for a given set of rules written in a programming language. So human scientists can test their theories about human behaviour by converting them into computer programs. For computer scientists, modeling human behaviour in a computer program is still a big challenge.

So Why AI?

Human beings have been outperformed by computers in many tasks. We can see this specially in these areas.

01. Numerical Computations

computers are obviously more faster and accurate than humans when it comes to numerical computations. ex: 123456 *837590497023
A normal pentiumII computer will give the answer to this multiplication function instantaneously while a math geek will still take few minutes to get it, possibly with errors.

02. Information storage

computers can store huge amount of information on its hard disk and some amount in their RAM as well. Upgrading or increasing the memory is just a matter of fixing another disk with larger capacity. Only limitation is availability of information. But when it comes to humans, we can keep only a certain amount of knowledge in our memory. Think !!! 80% of things you learnt at Level 1 Semester 1 might be already lost and gone somewhere right now. :)

03. Repetitive Operations

Normally humans get bored and tend to do mistakes as fatigue sets when they do the same thing again and again. On the other hand computers are specifically built to do such tasks.

The above list contains only the mechanical or mindless tasks which normally machines are good at. But "Intelligence" is not that. When performing intelligent tasks humans are far beyond the computers. So what is "intelligence"?

Intelligence is a loosely defined term, and there is no single exact definition a such. In order to possess intelligence, following have been identified as essential to have.

~ to respond to situations flexibly
~ To make sense of ambiguous or erroneous messages.
~ To assign relative importance to elements of a situation.
~ To find similarities even though the situations might be different.
~ To draw distinctions even though the situations look similar.

If intelligence could be defined as above, then following are some tasks that demand intelligence.

~ Speech recognition and understanding
~ Pattern recognition
~ Motion in dynamic obstacle filled space.
~ Mathematical theorem proving
~ Reasoning

I invite you to make an attempt to understand major AI concepts further more by exploring other web resources as well.Here, I did just an introduction only.

Check the JDK version in your computer

2012-10-08T09:20:00.002+01:00

Do you want to see the JDK version installed in your computer. Then go to Start menu and type "cmd'.
Hit enter. You may be in this kind of a location. In my computer it is C:\Users\Achini>. But you need to be in just C:

So type like this.
cd..hit enter. Again type cd.. hit enter. Do this until you reach the C: drive. Now you should be in C: drive.

Then type "java -version".
(java,space,dash,version)

As you can see my JDK version is 1.6 and update 33. Check what is yours.

Importance of Fiber (Proven remedies for constipation-1)

2012-10-01T06:55:00.000+01:00

Constipation is a common as it can be seen among 2-30% in every population. No doubt it is a hard situation for many patients, specially when they are younger (eg: children) or elderly people. It is not a secret that this is one of the most hard functions of an elderly person's life he has to go through every day. That is why patients having heart disorders are advised to take their TNT bottle when going to toilet, in case to defense themselves from a sudden stroke. To avoid constipation easy steps you can take are,

drinking more water
Adding more vegetables and fruits in to your diet. (natural fiber is best than any other medicine)

But unfortunately modern people with busy schedules cannot or forget to follow these steps regularly. There are medicines for such situations, which most of them should be taken with medical advice. Namely there are 4 kinds of laxatives.

Bulk
Osmotic
stimulant
lubricant

Bulk laxatives are things like Bran, ispagula husk, sterculia, Gam karaya etc. Provided examples include soluble and insoluble fiber. Commercial products are Fibogel, Laxinorm, Normacol and many more. Probably it takes around 12-72 hours for the onset action.

Normally commercially available soluble fiber products are little bit expensive. ex: Benefiber

What is important with taking soluble fiber is, they can reduce the level of cholesterol in your blood. cholesterol is broken into something called "Bile" at the digestive system. Bile can be eliminated with soluble fiber.

However bulk laxatives are not recommended for children. But for elders, fibogel like laxatives can be prepared as a delicious drink and get rid of that unpleasant experience. We'll talk about other types of laxatives in another post.

Suffering from "Missing .dll file" ?

2012-09-07T08:16:00.002+01:00

you may have experienced this popular error message at least several times if you have been using the computer for few years. In windows this error message pop ups as a run time error, most probably when you are going to launch a program. You can re install the program again or you can reinstall Windows. But you will see that error message pops up again. So what should we do ?

Before that let me explain the reasons for this error msg.

Deleting a .dll file without knowing
Over writing a dll file where the new one is incompatible or invalid.
Malicious program (eg: Virus) may have deleted your dll file
dll file may be corrupted or crashed by improper installation of a particular program.
corrupted dll entries in the windows registry.

Even though it seems the best solution to handle this error instantly is downloading the individual dll file from some site I suggest you to reconsider the decision. Because there is a risk that the individual dll file providers are not providing the up to date, genuine and original dll file which will lead you to experience compatibility issues as well. You better be aware that computers pop up the first error message they encounter to the user as an error message when there are thousands of one errors down the list. So most probably the biggest problem may be some thing else, though it pops up to download the missing dll file. So better to run a registry scan and identify what is the most essential error to be corrected. If you are a genius you can do it by yourself by skimming through the registry files. there are tools to identify and fix the registry errors. For an example 1-Click PC care.

You can now download it from here.

Be aware about Maggie noodles !!!

2012-07-28T14:00:00.002+01:00

Many of us can’t do without ” Maggi ” especially when one is away from home, in a foreign land. Here is a piece of information to share so that we can remove the potential health hazard of consuming Maggi, Kottu mee or any instant noodles.

If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make, you initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make them crunchy and then dusted with flour to prevent them from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular Maggie too is made the same way, plus they add MSG / Ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives.

A large number of patients with ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles… If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous

Google FIber..What is it ?

2012-07-28T12:46:00.000+01:00

Do you know ,Google has launched its own Internet service provider and it offers connections as fast as you could download a HD movie in the time required to read this sentence. Google's fiber offers download speeds of 1 Gigabit per second, about 100 times faster than the average American Internet.

The service will start in Kansas City, who saw off more than 1,100 other communities that have been applied to the first with Gigabit internet at Google first announced its plans in 2010. The data will be delivered over its own fiber network from Google, the company put down as a resident in the area of Kansas City called "fiber hoods" sign.

Google offers three flavors of fiber. The top package, which includes a 2-terabyte TV box can record up to eight programs simultaneously, and the new Nexus 7 tablet as a remote, costs $ 120 per month, but no popular channels like HBO, AMC, and ESPN. Gigabit Internet alone is $ 70 per month, and is also a 5-megabit service with no monthly fee - you only need a one-time $ 300 payment to put fiber to your home.
The fibre connection is actually so fast that users will need a wired home network to take full advantage of it, as even the best Wi-Fi networks top out at around 300 megabits, a third of the speed Google is offering.

Google Fiber isn't the world's first gigabit internet project.South Korea was the first to implement this technology. It seems that the world becomes smaller and smaller with a speed that we can ever imagine. Hope we'll be lucky enough to experience Google fiber soon.

Blossoming Entrepreneurs in the Vacation !!!

2012-07-15T07:17:00.000+01:00

Hi folks,

It has been a little bit long break to write another post to seetha gangula. But this time I would like to share with you a new experience I got throughout last 4 weeks with my colleagues at university. Frankly I have never had that kind of a training or a practical involvement in a area where I have never dreamed before.

University of Moratuwa, being the best university in Sri Lanka specially when it comes to producing genius brains to the nation, has taken the initiative to make young entrepreneurs in Software Industry. As a first step, they are hosting for an entrepreneurship training program since last year which is conducted over several countries with the contribution of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA and several other globally recognized sponsors like Google, Nokia etc. Around 35 students are taken part in this program annually from Faculty of IT, Department of Computer Science engineering and Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering. Having one and half month of vacation after the year end exam, I also applied for the program, mainly because I could not stay at home, workless for that much of long time.

The program started 18 June, soon after the exam and was said that it goes until 3rd August. 4 instructors from MIT, USA had come to sri lanka to guide us namely Ali, Amber for entrepreneurship training Emily and Wesley as technical assistants. At the very first day we understood that they are really educated and well qualified people and more importantly helpful in every aspect we needed. Ali was like the team leader and without him the team looked like nothing. Amber always tried to figure out our problems related to public speaking, business planning and other related aspects needed to become a successful entrepreneur.

In first two weeks they taught us some of the key entrepreneurship skills, one need to acquire with practical examples. One unforgettable experience was at the very second day we were divided into groups and gave a bag of candy. All we had to do was go around the university and sell as much as we can within one and half hour and bring back as much as money we can. It was fantastic because university was like an abandoned school those days due to the non academic staff strike. We went to pretty much everywhere in the university to sell our candy despite of the dignity of the customers we sell. Most probably our customers were Professors, senior Lecturers, Department heads, Deans like high end people. It is hilarious when we recall that memory, how we talked to those people to influence them to buy from us rather than from other groups. any how my group managed to earn around 1250/= from candy which were actually worth around 1000/=.

That was our first out of the class activity as an entrepreneur. :)

Within the first two weeks we were able to learn python along with Django web frame work which was totally new thing to us. Since we were expected to start a start up using IT , it was necessarily to learn something related to mobile technology. Android programming was the one we were facilitated to learn by wesley and emiley. Some days we sit on our chairs learning, and coding the whole day as groups. We talked about new ideas for a start up as groups. refined them. Our ideas were criticized by the investors came. Almost all groups changed their top ideas and moved to new ideas. We drew business plans, customer profiles, use cases and many more. I think I had a chance to use what I learnt at my marketing class there. :D

Some days later, we found that our 4 lovely instructors were addicted to "Rambutan" seriously. Even suffering from severe cough, amber and Wesley were still chewing rambutan without knowing how it affects to coughing .

Idea pitching day was also a memorable day since we all had to present the same idea as groups. Only one minute was given to explain the whole idea. We witnessed that even people who are fluent in english could not managed to express their idea within the given time. I think we had a good chance to improve our presentation skills as well by participating to this MIT-AITI program. Doing a presentation unprepared was like nothing for most of us after 2,3 weeks since every day we had to do several presentations.

There are two more weeks remaining for the demo day. These days most of teams are busy with building their products. I also have to contribute to our product. So I'll stop here promising you to present my next blog post about our start ups in details. Stay tuned !!!
