MUMBAI: More than 35,000 people have been killed on Mumbai's rail network over the last decade, according to a freedom of information request published on Friday.
A total of 36,152 people died on the tracks between 2002 and November last year, the Daily News and Analysis newspaper reported, quoting data obtained from the Government Railway Police.
During the same period, 36,688 were injured in the western city, which is India's financial and entertainment capital.
The fatalities equate to nearly 10 people a day or over 3,000 a year. Mumbai's suburban trains or "locals" carry an estimated seven million people every day and are a lifeline in an overcrowded city with traffic-clogged, potholed roads.
Train doors are normally open to the elements to combat high temperatures and humidity, with many travellers also hanging out of carriages or perching between them.
A chronic lack of housing has seen slum-dwellings spring up alongside tracks, increasing the risk of death and injuries. Causes of deaths and injuries on the railways include falling from open doors, and being hit by trackside poles or while crossing tracks.
The Central and Western railways that run trains in and out of the landmark Churchgate and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus stations have tried to reduce casualties in recent years.
Initiatives have included a publicity drive against roof-top train travel as well as an awareness campaign to stop young men and teenagers performing "stunts" on moving trains by hanging out of carriages.

Dear Readers,

Please find attached our report titled "Fiscal Policy Remains Expansionary" on Saudi Arabia's 2012 budget announcement:

Highlights and NCB Views

On Monday, 26 December 2011, the Council of Ministers endorsed the government's budget for 2012 and announced the final outcome of fiscal operations and macroeconomic performance for 2011. The highlights are:

 

·The fiscal balance remained in surplus, edging higher to SAR306.0 billion in 2011, approximately 14.0% of GDP, on the back of both higher oil prices and production. It is worth noting that SAR250 billion of the 2011's surplus will  be deposited at SAMA to finance the 500, 000 housing units announced in March 2011.

 

· As we anticipated in our earlier forecasts, 2011 was a historical year for the Saudi economy, with real GDP registering 6.8% annual growth, driven by the non-oil sector that grew by 7.8% Y/Y.  More importantly, the non-oil private sector increased by 8.3% Y/Y, an unprecedented pace for almost all sectors, notably manufacturing and construction. 

 

· The 2012 budget estimates revenues at SAR702 billion and expenditures at SAR690 billion, projecting a surplus of SAR12 billion. The budget will continue to emphasize both human and physical capital expenditure to support sustainable and balanced growth.

 

· We project total revenues at SAR930 billion and expenditures at SAR780 billion, predicting a surplus of SAR150 billion in 2012. Our forecast is based on an average Arabian light oil price of USD95/bbl for 2012.

 

· The external environment is exhibiting mounting uncertainties, thus, pushing oil markets into a critical balancing phase, with producers and consumers worried about demand downside risks and supply uncertainties. Hence, Arabian light prices will remain range-bound, protected at a floor of USD80/bbl in 2012, resulting in current account and fiscal surpluses and an increase in net foreign assets.

 

· Real GDP growth will ease in 2012 due mainly to base effects, attributed to projected lower oil production, and the royal decrees announced in 1Q2011, which injected one-time transfers estimated at around SAR94 billion, representing around 4.3% of 2011 GDP.

 

Best regards,

[karachi-Friends] Natural med - 20 Pain Cures in your kitchen

20 PAIN CURES FROM YOUR KITCHEN
Make muscle pain a memory with ginger

When Danish researchers asked achy people to jazz up their diets with ginger, it eased muscle and joint pain, swelling and stiffness for up to 63 percent of them within two months. Experts credit ginger's potent compounds called gingerols, which prevent the production of pain-triggering hormones. The study-recommended dose: Add at least 1 teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger to meals daily.

Got a toothache and can't get to the dentist? Gently chewing on a clove can ease tooth pain and gum inflammation for two hours       straight, say UCLA researchers. Experts point to a natural compound in cloves called eugenol, a powerful, natural anesthetic. Bonus: Sprinkling a � teaspoon of ground cloves on meals daily may also protect your ticker. Scientists say this simple action helps stabilize blood sugar, plus dampen production of artery-clogging cholesterol in as little as three weeks.


Heal heartburn with cider vinegar

Painful ear infections drive millions of Americans to doctors' offices every year. To cure one fast, just place two drops of warm garlic oil into your aching ear twice daily for five days. This simple treatment can clear up ear infections faster than prescription meds, say experts at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Scientists say garlic's active ingredients (germanium, selenium, and sulfur compounds) are naturally toxic to dozens of different pain-causing bacteria. To whip up your own garlic oil gently simmer three cloves of crushed garlic in a half a cup of extra virgin olive oil for two minutes, strain, then refrigerate for up to two weeks, suggests Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., co-author of the book, 
Best Choices From The People's Pharmacy. For an optimal experience, warm this mix slightly before using so the liquid will feel soothing in your ear canal.

Latest studies show that at least one in four women is struggling with arthritis, gout or chronic headaches. If you're one of them, a daily bowl of cherries could ease your ache, without the stomach upset so often triggered by today's painkillers, say researchers at East Lansing's Michigan State University. Their research reveals that anthocyanins, the compounds that give cherries their brilliant red color, are anti-inflammatories 10 times stronger than ibuprofen and aspirin. "Anthocyanins help shut down the powerful enzymes that kick-start tissue inflammation, so they can prevent, as well as treat, many different kinds of pain," explains Muraleedharan Nair, Ph.D., professor of food science at Michigan State University. His advice: Enjoy 20 cherries (fresh, frozen or dried) daily, then continue until your pain disappears.

Whether it's your feet, your knees or your shoulders that are throbbing, experts at New York's Manhattan College, say you could kick-start your recovery in one week just by drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. Why? Experts say water dilutes, and then helps flush out, histamine, a pain-triggering compound produced by injured tissues. "Plus water is a key building block of the cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones, your joints' lubricating fluid, and the soft discs in your spine," adds Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., author of the book, 
The Good Mood Diet. "And when these tissues are well-hydrated, they can move and glide over each other without causing pain." One caveat: Be sure to measure your drinking glasses to find out how large they really are before you start sipping, she says. Today's juice glasses often hold more than 12 ounces, which means five servings could be enough to meet your daily goal.
