As many as 60 students tested positive for COVID-19 in Bengaluru-based Sri Chaitanya Girls’ Residential School. This was found out after one of the students attending physical classes was found to be symptomatic. Of the 60 students who have tested positive, one student has been admitted to Lady Curzon and Bowring Hospital, one is under home quarantine, while the remaining 58 students have been quarantined in the hostel. The school, which had reopened on 5 September, will now remain closed till 20 October. The incident has alarmed the Karnataka education department, which has allowed all schools to reopen in districts with a positivity rate of less than one percent from 1 October. BC Nagesh , Karnataka’s minister for primary and secondary education had said, “The technical committee has allowed full capacity for Classes 6 to 12 from 1 October. After Dasara, the (COVID) task force will meet again then decide on reopening Classes from 1 to 5. Since there are viral infections going on

One of the defining attributes of a challenger is that he or she can topple the champion coming from a seeming weaker position, or goes down fighting. A challenger usually does not meticulously engineer one’s own downfall from a commanding position. The Congress party has ceased to be the natural party of choice in India. Since the 2012 state polls and subsequently the history-altering 2014 general elections, it has been the BJP. But with the unfolding Punjab meltdown, the Congress is at the brink of ceasing to be even the challenger. It is in free-fall, with two dynasts who have proven their incompetence beyond all doubt stubbornly at the wheel, willing to sacrifice even the most vantage ground at the altar of dynastic entitlement. Till it eventually breaks, Congress is resolved to remain a mom-and-pop store, unwilling to hand the family business over to employees. What does the Punjab spectacle really tell us about modern India’s oldest political party? Five things, essentially.

The national capital is planning to reopen schools for younger students from Nursery to Class 8 from 1 November . The reopening of schools in a phased manner for remaining classes after Dussehra is being considered by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA). In a recent meeting, the DDMA decided to reopen schools for junior standards keeping in mind the precautions that must be maintained. The schools are open for classes 9 to 12 across Delhi since 1 September with DDMA allowing only 50 percent capacity. Also, the schools are supposed to take care of the COVID-19 protocols that have been issued by the state government including the regular use of face masks, hand sanitizers, and maintaining social distancing all the time. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, the schools have been liberal towards students for their attendance. However, no student has been forcibly asked to attend the classes physically as online education is still being carried out by the respective schools.

A spotted Owlet stares at the viewer, its gaze arresting and unnerving at once. Every detail of the bird is captured clearly: right from its folded wingtips to its greyish coloring, ensuring that its discerning viewers wonder if their imagination conjured the bird in front of their eyes from the pages of a catalogue. This and 124 other stunning images form a part of DAG’s first-ever exhibition in India dedicated to an extraordinary selection of Company Paintings of Indian birds, entirely from the gallery collection in honour of the unknown Indian masters commissioned by East India Company in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Most of the 125 watercolor paintings are from a single album compiled between 1800 and 1804. The rest are dated slightly later, up to circa 1835. The paintings are soaked in rich detail and observation: an Indian Robin with its cocked tail gazes away from the album while a Purple Sunbird is showing resting on a branch of a pomegranate tree.

Kolkata: Former Goa Chief Minister Luizinho Faleiro, who recently quit the Congress, joined the Trinamool Congress on Wednesday and called for uniting various factions of the grand old party under the leadership of West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee to fight the BJP. Faleiro, who met Banerjee earlier in the day, said she handed a huge defeat to the BJP in the state assembly election and asserted that ''Didi'' will usher in a "new dawn". The TMC asserted it will contest the 2022 Goa assembly election on its own, while Banerjee, welcoming Faleiro and several other leaders of the Western state into the party, said they will fight for every Goan together. "At the outset, I must say I am a Congressman. I have the same ideology and principles. Today when I am joining the TMC, my dream is to bring together this Congress family.

SARS COV-2 virus has been a global threat and an unmatched challenge for the healthcare community across the globe for the last one and a half years. It has taken away many lives, especially the lives of those people who were already dealing with co-morbidity issues like diabetes or hypertension. COVID-19 has worked as a severe catalyst for inducing heart and lung issues and there are some cases of myocarditis disease is reported even post-COVID-19 vaccination. However, this was only reported after the mRNA vaccine shots (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna) and especially in male adolescents and young adults. The symptoms were visible usually several days after the vaccination and the majority of cases were observed after the second dose of vaccine. Myocarditis is a heart condition that refers to an inflammation of the heart muscle known as the myocardium — the muscular layer of the heart wall.

The menstrual cycle, with its associated hormonal change, is the hallmark of the reproductive phase in a woman’s life. In this period, the ovaries produce hormones, which are essential for not only reproduction but also for a woman’s sense of wellbeing. With age, the ovaries stop producing eggs and menstruation ceases along with a decline in female hormone levels, especially estrogen. Twelve consecutive months of not having a period is defined as natural menopause. The average age of menopause is between 45-55 years. If menopause occurs between the age of 40 and 45, it is termed as early menopause and if it occurs before the age of 40, it is considered premature menopause. As a woman undergoes menopausal transition she may have many unpleasant symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, depression, anxiety, as well as genitourinary and sexual function changes.

Recently we have seen many instances where young people who are in their early 40s have lost their lives out of a cardiac arrest or heart attack. But not necessarily every cardiac arrest or heart attack results in death. In many instances, depending upon patient’s health status, their lifestyle pattern, medications that they are taking, or how quickly they are treated after the attack, can save their lives. Day by day, with the increasing disease burden, every individual needs to take care of their health beyond everything. We have to keep in mind that, looking fit doesn’t always mean real fitness – so it is crucial to shift our mindset from reactive to preventive. Many people doubt how much it is safe to work out after experiencing a heart attack. People assume that exercising after a heart attack might have an adverse impact on the heart but in reality, inactivity is worse for our heart and leads to an earlier death.
