It is ‘Open Streets’ at H S R Layout on Sunday

he streets are open! Yes. Literally, it is open streets on 20th September, 2015, at HSR layout, sectors 1 to 7 shall be the focus on the day with absolutely traffic free and pollution free. The aim is to promote usage of public transport instead of private vehicles. Many European and Western countries have already implemented this programme with << Event >> great success.

Open Streets is an initiative to promote usage of cycles to commute, walking and use of public transport.

Vehicular traffic is restricted on this day in entire HSR Layout. This is a combined effort by several government agencies including DULT, BMTC, BMRCL, Bangalore Police Department, BTP, Department of Forest, Ecology and Environment, Tourism Department, BBMP, Karnataka State Pollution Control Board and local citizen groups like the RWAs of HSR. The restrictions will be in force from 6am to 9pm, thus celebrating the open streets programme throughout the day.

Several activities and street plays are also organized to keep the public engaged.

Motorised vehicles such as cars, two-wheelers, autos and taxis are barred from moving inside HSR. Bengaluru has around 54 lacs vehicles on the roads. This is enough for the city to be totally polluted with high

levels of carbon monoxide. In order to curtail use of personal vehicles at least for a day and use public transport, private vehicles are banned which will reduce the pollution to a great extent and also make it a habit to use cycles or walk as a mode of transport.

This initiative is a pilot programme commencing from HSR and the

government would take it to several other areas in Bengaluru. The response received is enormous in terms of participation and endorsing such an initiative from the people of this area.

Residents can avail of the public transport and cycles are available at four designated junctions, BDA,

McDonalds, Gyana Shrishti School and 24th main. But the problem is for those senior citizens and patients like yours truly who cannot walk parking their vehicles at the boundary of HSR. Arrangements should have been made to pick people from the outer most boundaries which expose the poor planning.

Garden City Plus has also done its job in promoting this programme.

Awareness is created to a certain extent, but the government agencies should have given more time for the residents to adapt to such an initiative.

In fact, according to a member of an association, Mr. Sashidhara, the RWAs were called for a meeting and let known of the programme just around 10 days ago. This is too short a notice for the arrangements to be made to facilitate the residents’ involvement to make this initiative worthwhile he said. Continuing, he said “it is a wonderful experience and it is a once in a life time feeling to be getting involved in such programmes.

We, who are used to our own vehicular transport, will have a change by using the public transport to even shop. We will have an end to end transportation view. Good qualities which can help the environment too should be viewed by that perspective.

But he is a disturbed man for the agencies not giving enough time to organize. There are going to be a few hiccups since I feel there are several other angles this has to be addressed”.

Kavitha Reddy, A Congress member, gave the thumbs up for the initiative saying this is big step forward. It is a great feeling. Globally it is a regular feature; the same has to be brought in this city. It encourages public transport and reduces pollution. << Continued on Page 4 >>

Hail Open Streets at HSR << Continued from Page 2 >> A group of HSR residents also voiced their opinions in support of the initiative but were skeptical on the success of the programme since the timings for the vehicular restrictions are not favourable. They are forced to finish off their morning chores as early as 6 am. Rajashekara Reddy, Shiva Reddy, Srinivas Reddy, Gundappa Reddy and Muniraju Reddy jointly said that since there are no buses to K R Market, residents are inconvenienced. BMTC will have to resume services to Market, they insisted.

This initiative will bring in habit of using public transport and be pollution free for a day at least. This change could be seen in the atmosphere itself after celebratingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Open Streetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Come out and use public transport and feel the change. Participate in huge numbers and throw open the streets to one and all to rejoice play and have vehicle free day.

Kudos to the government agencies for venturing to promote usage of public transport and making it pollution free zone on 20th September, 2015!

Animal Fact - Whale

Whales that are found in both Northern and Southern hemisphere never meet or breed together. Their migration is timed so that they are never in breeding areas at the same time.

The arched lower lip of a whale can often make it look like it is smiling!

However, this isn’t a “real” smile as the blubber in the head of the whale prevents the muscles of the face from reaching the surface.

You can tell the age of a whale by looking at the wax plug in its ear. This plug in the ear has a pattern of layers when cut lengthwise that scientists can count to estimate the age of the whale. Whales love to sing! They use this as a call to mates, a way to communicate and also just for fun! After a period of time they get bored of the same whale song and begin to sing a different tune.

Sometimes whales make navigation mistakes during migrations. Although they may have made the mistake days before, they don’t realise it until they becoming stranded.

Whales support many different types of life. Several creatures, such as barnacles and sea lice, attach themselves to the skin of whales and live there.

Beauty Tips

Many women risk infection with rigorous cleaning under the nails using long, pointy tools, both at home and during manicures.

"Women themselves or the manicurist are trying so diligently to clean under the nail that they end up with a kind of a gap between the nail and the nail bed," This kind of aggressive nail care is an open door to bacterial or fungal infections. Instead, scrub gently with an old-fashioned nail brush for healthy nails.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is inarguably one of the most loved actors of the industry. He has a huge Fan following not just in India but across the world. His die-hard fans love him and are crazy for him that they try to imitate his style and actions. King Khan is one such popular celebrity that his mere name catches the fancy of his fans.

The ‘badshah’ on Friday took to micro-blogging site Twitter to share a collage of pictures which shows for what all purposes his name is being used – travel agency, soft drinks, school bags, key chains and even a hotel.

The ‘Happy New Year’ actor tweeted a humorous remark with the picture.

“Oh damn. Is it a possibility that I get sued by all these companies for using their name….??!!!” He posted.

On the work front, Shah Rukh is currently busy with the last leg shooting for his upcoming film ‘Dilwale’ in which he stars with Kajol after a gap of five years. Directed by Rohit Shetty, the film also stars Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Vinod Khanna, Boman Irani, Kabir Bedi and Johnny Lever among others. The film is slated to release on December 18.

Shah Rukh also has to more films lined up for release next year. ‘Fan’ in which the actor has a double role is directed by Maneesh Sharma and is set to release in April 2016. His crime thriller ‘Raees’ which will mark the Bollywood debut of Pakistani actress Mahira Khan will release on Eid next year.

Remedies to Shrink the Open Pores There are several reasons for open pores. Stress, genetics, aging, excessive moisturizing and makeup, use of substandard skin products; hormonal changes during pregnancy, puberty, and menopause are some of the common causes.

A large number of herbs, fruits and vegetables aids in tightening the enlarged pores. Although there are a number of cosmetic products available in the market, but you can’t eliminate these pores completely from your skin. Try some easy on pocket home remedies that can minimize the appearance of open pores.

1. Ice Cubes : It is an instant remedy for open pores that will stimulate blood circulation and give you a healthier skin. Cleanse your face and rub an ice cube twice in a day for about 5-10 seconds. This is a toner that tightens the pores. Alternatively, you can merely wash your face with ice cold water. For more benefits, fill the ice tray with tomato or lemon juice and freeze it. Massage these ice cubes on your face.

3. Sugar and Olive Oil Scrub: Take 2 tablespoon of sugar; add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix all the ingredients and gently rub on your face for 20 to 30 seconds. Clean it with cool water. For better results, use this remedy once in a week.

4. Egg White Peel Mask : Egg white contains amino acids and other enzymes that rejuvenates the skin and unclog the pores. Apply it all over your face and cover up with a tissue paper. When the mask completely dries, peel off the paper. This is a very effectual peel off mask for minimizing open pores. It cleanses the skin deeply and removes all the impurities and dirt.

6. Fuller’s Earth: Take two tablespoons of fuller’s earth and mix it with one tablespoon of honey and milk. Combine all these ingredients properly. Apply it all over your face. Wash off after 15-20 minutes with cold water. This will nourish your skin, and lessen the open pores.

7. Steam: Steaming is one of the best ways to unclog the open pores. Before you begin this process, wash your face with a mild cleanser. Afterwards, splash some cold water, instantly, in order to close them.

11. Baking Soda: Baking soda works as an exfoliating agent that removes excess oil and dirt from your skin. Mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda in lukewarm water. Apply the paste on your face and massage in circular motion. Leave it for 5 minutes and rinse it off with cool water.

Note- People suffering with sinusitis or meningitis should not use this remedy.

Skin Cancer could appear in the form of a new Mole

elanoma is a type of skin cancer that can spread to other organs in the body.

The most common sign of melanoma is the appearance of a new mole or a change in an existing mole. This can happen anywhere on the body, but the back, legs, arms and face are most commonly affected.

In most cases, melanomas have an irregular shape and more than one colour. They may also be larger than normal moles and can sometimes be itchy or bleed.

An "ABCDE checklist" has been developed for people to tell the

If melanoma isn't diagnosed until an advanced stage, treatment is mainly used to slow the spread of the cancer and reduce symptoms. This usually involves medicines, such as chemotherapy.

Once you have had melanoma, there is a chance it may return. This risk is increased if your cancer was widespread and severe.

If your cancer team feels there is a significant risk of your melanoma returning, you will probably need regular check-ups to monitor your health. You will also be taught how to examine your skin and lymph nodes

difference between a normal mole and a melanoma.

Why does melanoma happen?

Melanoma happens when some cells in the skin begin to develop abnormally. It is thought that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from natural or artificial sources may be partly responsible.

Certain things can increase your chances of developing melanoma, such as having: • lots of moles or freckles • pale skin that burns easily • red or blonde hair • a family member who has had melanoma

to help detect melanoma if it returns.

Who is affected Melanoma is the 5th most common cancer in the UK with around 13,000 new cases of melanoma diagnosed each year.

More than a quarter of cases are diagnosed in people under 50, which is unusual compared to most other types of cancer. It's also becoming more common in the UK over time, thought to be caused by increased exposure to UV light from the sun and sunbeds.

More than 2,000 people die every year in the UK from melanoma.

Can melanoma be prevented?

Melanoma is not always preventable, but you can reduce your chances of developing it by limiting your exposure to UV light.

You can help protect yourself from sun damage by using sunscreen and dressing sensibly in the sun.

Sunbeds and sunlamps should also be avoided.

Regularly checking your moles and freckles can help lead to an early diagnosis and increase your chances of successful treatment.

Diagnosing melanoma See your GP if you notice any change to your moles. Your GP will refer you to a specialist clinic or hospital if they think you have melanoma.

In most cases, a suspicious mole will be surgically removed and studied to see if it is cancerous. This is known as a biopsy.

You may also have a test to check if melanoma has spread elsewhere in your body. This is known as a sentinel node biopsy.

How is melanoma treated?

The main treatment for melanoma is surgery, although your treatment will depend on your circumstances.

If melanoma is diagnosed and treated at an early stage, surgery is usually successful.
