Vildagliptin and metformin HCL tablets used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in people who are already taking vildagliptin and metformin tablets separately, or whose diabetes cannot be controlled by metformin alone. It is given together with diet and exercise. Type 2 diabetes mellitus used to be known as 'non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)' or 'maturity onset diabetes'. Type 2 diabetes develops if the body does not produce enough insulin, or where the insulin that your body makes does not work as well as it should. It can also develop if the body produces too much glucagon. Insulin is a substance which helps to lower the level of sugar in your blood, especially after meals. Glucagon is another substance which triggers the production of sugar by the liver, causing the blood sugar to rise. The pancreas makes both of these substances. Galvumet helps to control the blood sugar level. It works by making the pancreas produce insulin and less glucagon (effect of vildagliptin) and also by helping the body to make better use of the insulin it produces (effect of metformin). Your doctor will prescribe Galvumet to replace the antidiabetic medicine(s) you are already taking, where that medicine(s) alone is not enough to control your blood sugar level. It is important that you continue to follow the diet and/or exercise recommended for you whilst you are on treatment with Galvumet. Warning! Hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose) has been commonly reported with this medicine. Symptoms of hypoglycaemia usually occur suddenly and may include cold sweats, cool pale skin, tremor, anxious feeling, unusual tiredness or weakness, confusion, difficulty in concentration, excessive hunger, temporary vision changes, headache, nausea and palpitations. You should talk to your doctor or diabetes specialist about this and make sure you know what to do if you experience these symptoms. Your ability to concentrate or react may be reduced if you have low blood sugar, and this can cause problems driving or operating machinery. You should take precautions to avoid low blood sugar when driving - discuss this with your doctor. This medicine may also cause dizziness, and if affected you should take care when driving or operating machinery. You should avoid drinking alcohol while you are taking this medicine, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) and lactic acidosis (see below). Metformin can cause a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis, which is an excess of lactic acid in the blood. It is more likely to occur in people with decreased kidney function. Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol while taking this medicine, particularly on an empty stomach or if you have liver problems, can also increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Your doctor will monitor you for this side effect, but symptoms that might indicate its development include rapid and/or deep breathing and non-specific symptoms such as feeling weak, sick or generally unwell, vomiting, abdominal pain, or unusual muscle pains or discomfort. You should stop taking this medicine and consult your doctor if you experience any of these. Your kidney function should be monitored regularly while you are taking this medicine. Your doctor will usually want to check your kidney function once or twice a year, or more frequently if you are elderly or have any existing kidney problems. Rare cases of inflammation of the liver (hepatitis) have been reported in people taking vildagliptin. For this reason, your liver function should be checked before starting treatment, every three months during the first year of treatment, and regularly thereafter. You should consult your doctor if you develop any of the following symptoms while taking this medicine, so that your liver can be checked: unexplained nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, darkened urine or yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice). People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing foot ulcers and blistering of the skin. It is therefore important to have a good foot care routine. Consult your doctor if you get any new blisters or ulcers while taking this medicine. Your doctor will ask you to stop taking this medicine temporarily if you are going to have a certain type of X-ray involving an injection of iodinated dye (contrast agent). Tell your doctor that you are taking this medicine if you are due to have this type of X-ray. You should not start taking this medicine again until 48 hours after the X-ray, and only after your kidney function has been tested and found to be normal. Consult your doctor about your diabetes treatment if you are due to have surgery under a general anaesthetic. In these situations blood sugar is normally controlled by insulin, so your doctor may ask you to stop taking this medicine 48 hours before surgery. Use with caution in Elderly people. People taking ACE inhibitor medicines, eg captopril. Not to be used in Type 1 diabetes - Diabetic keto-acidosis. ,Diabetic pre-coma (due to ketoacidosis in severe and inadequately treated diabetes). - Decreased kidney function or kidney failure. - Decreased liver function. - Heart failure. - People who have recently had a heart attack. - People with conditions that cause breathing to be ineffective, ie to not effectively oxygenate the blood or remove carbon dioxide from the lungs (respiratory failure). People with reduced blood flow to vital internal organs (shock). -Severe infections or trauma. -Dehydration. -Alcohol intoxication. -Alcoholism. Pregnancy. -Breastfeeding.

Febuxostat tablets used for treating gout caused by excessive levels of uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). Uric acid is formed from the breakdown of certain chemicals (purines) in the body. Hyperuricemia occurs when the body produces more uric acid than it can eliminate. The uric acid forms crystals in joints (gouty arthritis) and tissues, causing inflammation and pain. Elevated blood uric acid levels also can cause kidney disease and kidney stones. Febuxostat prevents the production of uric acid by blocking the activity of the enzyme (xanthine oxidase) that converts purines to uric acid. Uric acid levels may fall to target treatment levels within two weeks. Common reactions to febuxostat include nausea, rash, joint pain, gout flares, and liver problems. Less common side effects include stroke, heart attack, anemia, hepatitis, hypersensitivity, and weight loss.

smartUSB56 Voice Modem - checking the device

The modem with win driver was tested on windoz and was working :). Bit rusty on getting the power from the old USB port other than that things were OK
[u-04-09-2012]
Today again checked out whether the dial-up connection was up and running, to my dismay it wasn't and was flashing the
error 691:Access denied because the username and/or password was invalid on the domain.
After visiting the netone link(http://netonetvm.bsnl.co.in/netone.html)
http://www.bsnl.co.in:9080/opencms/bsnl/BSNL/services/broadband/cities.html
They have migrated to new system. Due to that authentication procedure is/has changed as follows
The customer will continue to dial the present access code 172222(for PSTN access)
Also use the common username and password
username:- netone@netone.in
pwd: netone
and no separate username and password is required for each customer. Billing will be done on the basis of your phone number.

Replica of the RF information of WA3002G4

A mere look at the Wa3002G4 for the RF band it was using gave more than what was needed (incomprehensible and not interested to dig deep right now)

This page allows you to configure advanced features of the wireless LAN interface. You can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used.

AP isolation:    off
Band:        2.4GHz
Channel:    11

More of observation about absurd governance

Still keeping up with the usual trend of asking questions, and not just questions in this case may be some radical solutions are also touched upon.
This will take some radical changes in the thought process in order to achieve what is needed and in the process might have some setbacks for short term but will be very effective in the long run. I am in no way an expert, but just putting up my point of view how things should be. Some points are to bring out the relation to the cause.

  •  Most talk about inflation i.e rise in price, this is every bit to do with the devaluation of the Indian currency and depreciation of INR.
  • In almost all walks of life everyone talks about rise in price but no one ever bother to ask that they asked for hike(hike in salary, hike in allowances, hike in everything that one wants but reduction in what one gives out) instead of asking how to control the price.
  • Only if we were self sufficient the prices won't go up or will remain constant, for this to happen basic needed items need to be home made/national/home-brew/in-house.
  • In the era of multi national or globalization its not possible to be unaffected by price hike. Give me a break there is always an opening which requires some sacrifice with which such rise can be curbed.
  • Oil prices can be curbed based on the limited distribution or finding an alternative to oil.(non-conventional energy source or renewable energy)
  • Every state should have self sufficiency criteria met like food grain production for this to happen encourage people to take up farming this should not involve taking any of the forest region knowing that poor wild animals are already suffering. This should allow ones farming to live a decent life which is very important since some of the news coming out are in fact disturbing which always put people on back foot.
  • Financial institution cannot be a responsible body, if it were it shouldn't have changed from fixed to floating rate model.  
  • Let me guess there was time when INR was equivalent to 9INR for a dollar i.e the exchange rate and now its 53INR and fluctuating
  • the devaluation leads to more of inflation(because of global market) i.e the purchase value of the currency also decreases 
  • Indian fx rate after being in floating rate model has sky rocketed so it would be good to get back in the fixed rate model.
  • also self-sufficiency should assist us in exporting the same.
  • There is always an inconsistency factor deciding INR rates like supply and demand/export and import
  • there is always a force acting against it because appreciation of INR will cause the service providers/exporters to lose some while the importer like petroleum products etc will have to pay less. This gain in FX is likely to create savings in cost, which could be passed on to consumers, thereby contributing to control inflation.
  • Wise men talk of cause and effect. In case of inflation or rise in the living cost instead of finding a long term solution the ones in control find a easy way out (short term) which instead of curbing the rise only instigates rise. To be exact instead of controlling the cause they find a way to deal with 'the effect' in which case the cause spirals out of hand, then the whole process of curing the effect is carried out and the reaction is harmful.
  • The mere theme of supply and demand is absurd, because the product which was produced for say 30INR is sold at 40INR but when the demand increases the same product which was sold at 40INR previously now costs 60INR, how does that happen. similar is the concept in petroleum product. how is that the oil when in demand cost more than when the demand is normal, isn't it the same set of machinery that is pumping crude oil out or do they install some machine made of platinum in case of rise in demand which causes rise in price. This doesn't need great mind, just a simple analysis will bring forth the whole system is full of crap.
The current form of system(governance) can even be run by my 10year old nephew, where there is not much to do except increase everything based on the rise in everything. For this why spend revenue on election create house/sabha for bunch of hooligans who don't even spend time on constructive matter, don't behave in a civilized manner (for clue watch the live xyz sabha telecast, it shows us how we should not be, as humans(Intellectual ones), my Bitu(pet) behaves in more civilized manner). This only shows that the system works with Utopian culture and not with humans as animals.

When WA3002G4 is in "the zone" there is seldom issue of disconnection, so thought of keeping a remembrance token of the setup, the router is in.





(un)certainty == freedom the owners of the device will have. Will they prefer a black box(manufacturer control==certainty) or a white box(owner control==uncertainty)

Believe it or not humans(grown ups as well as not so grown ups) as a species can never stop complaining. Its really unbearable to watch the various incidents unfolding(purely own thought process of technological advancement causing the dissatisfaction) right in front of oneself. Happen to get my hands on PSP 3001(yep, a Sony product) Its an awesome product with no freedom for user(mainly it was meant to be for a certain age group so not much of freedom/responsibility talk involved). (OSHW)The kid happen to buy PSP with the intention to play as much game as possible as soon as the device was bought but to his disappointment there was one UMD(universal Media disc) and another one bought for 500+INR but the kid was not satisfied. The package came with
- power adapter
- PSP
- 8GB MMC
- manual (ridiculously was meant for non English speaking audience)

* no USB cable was provided.

This device was/is a great piece of work (HW as well as SW(firmware)) and there it was in the hands of a kid so that he/she can play with it(superficial act) and no knowledge of device either its hardware spec or software stack could be elicited out of that device but little bit of googling helped with some wanted information like
MIPs based processor - speed
graphics accelerator
no mmu
sdcard size

I am not certainly asking Sony to part with HW schematics but they can at-least let the device owner who want to willfully go beyond set gaming use(there are tons of games I can get my hands on then why confine to games that is defined by manufacturer). They can also add the void warranty if something done beyond gaming purpose and believe it or not there are takers for such options too(not too many but yep they exist). Its tug of war between user/manufacturer gaining access to the device. Seriously device owner paid for it and they don't have complete access to the device, must be kidding(Its like after buying a motor bike one cannot open any part of it because that is the invasion of privacy so says the manufacturer. Well then why to sell the product if they want so much privacy). Who ever thinks in that way they take the responsibility of what happens to device is of their own doing and believe it or not its exciting for very few and for most its the pain in the a**(just a matter of frame of mind).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable#Technical_specifications
http://psplinux.info/

Yep the device came with certainty i.e Sony will take care of anything if any thing goes wrong but was the kid satisfied by buying the product. NO!!! reason there was not enough games provided... reason the ignorance of the ones accompanying the kid as well as those recommending the device based on its certainty and Sony invariable cashing in on any thing the poor kid touches (know that the game creators need be payed) but this is no way to make money.
Another reason for switching the area of responsibility i.e philosophy behind FLOSS where the user desist from being ignorant and see to it that what they want.
Certainty which includes
- You don't have to be responsible
- Everything is the responsibility of the providers(Sony in this case)
- Don't even bother to know any thing related to installing process
- provider will be charging exorbitantly for the services (don't complain)

Uncertainty which inculcates or involves
- be responsible(you make or break the device)
- be attentive
- be far-sightedness i.e use device for life long without being bogged down by the manufactures terms ones the consumer buys the product its his/her device and should have the freedom to upgrade or do what ever the user wants with no restrictions imposed by others.
- the manufacture take less or no liability even if the device is buggy
