Educated daughters vs strong daughters: The difference

-
Image
Indian government, Indian law, and pro-female organizations in that land talk about increasing education of girls and women. I get very amused at this ineffective and useless propoganda that does nothing great to help the girl child and women. This is because most women even if educated are unable to continue work, career or do entrepreneurship because their parents or in-laws or community will not allow them. So it means educate them for namesake and then make them stagnant to do caring and cooking jobs at home. In short, educate them and again throw them in the same gutter or furnace as before. Education gives them no financial independence, no autonomy, no freedom to decide for self or children. Then what is the role of education for them? Nothing. I pity the parents who think that educating a daughter makes them finish their duty towards her. They continue to rear her as a cow or sheep. The net result is an educated women with no respect or autonomy and no space of her own. This ca...

USDA's FSIS has issued a public health warning! They should not consume the raw frozen New Orleans-roasted chicken wings that are imported from China!

-

 There is a new health warning from the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). It has stated that the raw frozen New Orleans-roasted chicken wings that are imported from China have a false USDA mark of inspection label on them.

FSIS and its new public health warning

The US Department of Agriculture’s FSIS wing has notified the public that it should not purchase the raw frozen New Orleans-roasted chicken wings that are imported from China. It carries a false label of USDA mark of inspection. The concerned authorities have not certified it as safe but it still has the mark on it.

FSIS stated that they have not put in any request for the recall of the product since the product is no longer in the market for purchase. But those who have purchased it and it is in store with them at home should not consume it but report to the nearest branch of FSIS.

FSIS stated that Di-Da Di-Da USA Corp., a business based in Saratoga, California, received the ineligible imported frozen chicken wings from China to the USA and put it up for retail sale.

The labels on the bags read:

“600-gram bags of “Chicken Arrived, Organic Chicken, NEW ORLEANS- ROASTED CHICKEN WINGS”

And the “Best before” date is 09/19/2021 written in Mandarin.

More about this product

FSIS has revealed that the products were shipped to the USA from China and one retail location received it. Later, it was further distributed to 20 retailers in California, Oregon, and Washington. The label has a false USDA mark of inspection bearing “P-40478”. But the stated establishment number does not exist with FSIS and hence is a fake one. Someone has forged it.

FSIS has stated that they discovered the problem when they got a complaint of a product that is suspected to have been illegally imported. FSIS conducted an investigation into this matter and found that the product was ineligible. It was misbranded and the label was a false one.

Until now, there have been no adverse effects reported as regards the product after consumption.

The agency is concerned that some of the products might be in the deep freezers of people waiting to be consumed. But it has warned the people to please check the label and if it is the above-mentioned fake label, then to please discard the product. However, they can call toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or do a live chat with the officials via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

Why I decided to not attend Nepal Respiratory society conference 2025?

-
I am a super-specialist doctor. Hence, when I learned about the pulmonology conference in Nepal in September 2025, I thought of attending it since I was there for some other work.  But I ultimately decided against attending the Nepal Respiratory society conference. You will agree that 'the first impression is the last impression'. And my first impression about the conference and organizers, unfortunately, was bad.  Reasons: 1. Incomplete information on internet  No proper directions on internet. There was incomplete and wrong information.  2. No office When anyone makes a medical society or association, it needs to have a proper physical address, phone number, and email id. But this, Nepal respiratory society, lacked all of this.  3. Piecemeal information  Initially, the registration details had no details about registration for international delegates. Later, this was added. But again, there was improper info on it. At one place, the fees was 12k npr and a...

Dementia: problem, risks, effects, and management

I had met my classmate around 4 months back and informed her also about my mom's death. But in a recent email, she wrote to me that I had met her a couple of years back. She also enquired about my mom. Seeing her email, the first thought that came to my mind was: is she suffering from early dementia. I hope not. Maybe, she just forgot about the time that I had met her a few months back. Maybe because it was a hurried and surprise visit.  Nonetheless, dementia is on the rise. It affects people after 60 years of age. The increased life expectancy means that one will see more of such cases in the near future.  India has around 10 million dementia cases out of the world total of 57 million. This is a huge percentage. It affects not only an individual but the whole family. There is this individual who is physically okay but mentally absent. The person needs custodial care and it could turn out to be expensive. It is also emotionally disturbing to see your loved one in that state of...

Our planet, Earth is an important abode for every living being including plants and animals. Earth belongs to everyone. Humans are the superior living beings, but they are also the ones destroying nature and earth with their excessive deeds and misdeeds.  Climate change and global warming are also the consequence of wrong human activities in excess. Industrial revolution of the 19th century paved the way for this downhill process of environmental deterioration. It has reached a stage where excessive temperatures are giving rise to glacier and ice cap melting, sea water level rising, ecosystem disruption, weather crisis, and high rates of infections and allergies.  Also, read Dementia and its risks and management  Effective steps need to be taken promptly and on a large scale to mitigate this climate crisis and in the meantime, measures to adapt to the rising temperatures also are required to be started.  However, in all this, some people make such vague statements th...
