Income limit of 'Creamy Layer' for OBCs increased to Rs. 6 lakh


Union Cabinet yesterday approved to increase the limit of 'Creamy layer' bar for OBCs from Rs.4.50 lakh to Rs.6 lakh.

Revision of Income Criterion to exclude Socially Advanced Persons/ Sections (Creamy Layer) from list of other Backward Classes (OBCs)

The Union Cabinet today gave its approval for increase in the present income criterion of Rs. 4.5 lakh per annum for applying the Creamy Layer restriction throughout the country, for excluding Socially Advanced Persons/Sections (Creamy Layer) from the purview of reservation of Other Backward Classes (OBCs).

The new income criterion will be Rs. 6 lakh per annum. The increase in the income limit to exclude the Creamy Layer is in keeping with the increase in the Consumer Price Index and would enable more persons to take advantage of reservation benefits extended to OBCs in government services and admission to central educational institutions.

This would bring about equity and greater inclusiveness in society. The Department of Personnel and Training and the Ministry of Human Resource Development would issue necessary orders to this effect.

Diabetes Control : Top 15 Diabetic Tips for Indians


Diabetes control is governed by following the right diabetic diet. What to eat and what not to eat is important for diabetes control and diabetes cure or diabetes reversal. These are the top 15 diabetes diet tips from diabetologists and nutritionists. Even if you are pre-diabetic or borderline diabetic, or diabetes is part of your family, it is important to follow a diabetic diet to prevent diabetes.
Diabetologist, Dr. Sanjiv Bhambani with Moolchand Medcity suggests, “A diabetes diet should be high on fibre, must contain milk without cream, buttermilk, fresh seasonal fruits, green vegetables, etc.” But remember to consume these components in moderation.
Diabetes diet for Indians should have the ratio of 60:20:20 for carbs, fats and proteins. The doctor explains, “Per day calorie intake should be between 1,500-1,800 calories with a proportion of 60:20:20 between carbohydrates, fats and proteins, respectively.” He adds that a diabetes diet should “have at least two seasonal fruits and three vegetables in a diet plan.”
Though dry fruits may seem like a healthy snack, it is not a good option for diabetics, as the fructose can spike your sugar level. Go for fresh fruits rather than dry fruits for diabetes
control (but there are some restrictions... we’ll come to it). But you can still opt for nuts as a healthy snack.
The doctor shares his recipe for diabetes diet for Indians:

- One teaspoon of methi seeds soaked overnight in 100 ml of water is very effective in controlling diabetes.
- Drink tomato juice with salt and pepper every morning on an empty stomach.
- Intake of 6 almonds (soaked overnight) is also helpful in keeping a check on diabetes.
Rekha Sharma, President and Director of Indian Dietetic Association, shares some major diabetes diet pointers that one should follow at home or at a restaurant.

Whole grains, oats, channa atta, millets and other high fibre foods should be included in the meals. If one feels like consuming pasta or noodles, it should always be accompanied with vegetable/sprouts.
Milk is the right combination of carbohydrates and proteins and helps control blood sugar levels. Two servings of milk in a dailydiet is a good option.
High fibre vegetables such as peas, beans, broccoli and spinach /leafy vegetables should be included in one’s diet. Also, pulses with husk and sprouts are a healthy option and should be part of the diet.
Pulses are important in the diet as their effect on blood glucose is less than that of most other carbohydrate containing foods. Vegetables rich in fibre help lowering down the blood sugar
levels and thus are healthy.
Good fats such as Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats (MUFA) should be consumed as they are good for the body. Natural sources for these are canola oil, flax seed oil, fatty fish and nuts. These are also low in cholesterol and are trans fat free.
Fruits high in fibre such as papaya, apple, orange, pear and guava should be consumed. Mangoes, bananas, and grapes contain high sugar; therefore these fruits should be consumed lesser than the others.
A large meal gives rise to higher blood sugar in one’s body, therefore it is essential to take small frequent meals to prevent both higher and very low blood sugar values and keep them constant. Small in between snacks can be dhokla, fruit, high fibre cookies, butter milk, yogurt, upma/poha with vegetables etc.

A person with diabetes should follow a diet
which is low in carbohydrates, high in fibre and contains adequate amounts of proteins, vitamins and minerals; and avoid fatty foods and sweets. He/she should also take frequent small meals (5 meals pattern).

What not to do:
  • Artificial sweeteners can be used in cakes and sweets for diabetic people (in moderation).
  • Have lots of fluid.
  • Limit intake of alcohol.
Should you have non-veg? 
In non-vegetarian diet, seafood and chicken can be taken rather than red meat as red meat contains higher amount of saturated fats. Also, patients with high cholesterol should avoid egg yolk and red meat.
The diabetes diet for Indians includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats. As always, a balanced and planned diet can build and improve personal health. A controlled diabetes diet may seem like a drag and bore, but a good cook can add life to a diet. Time to call up mom and experiment with diabetes

SQL Server Database Consistency Check Options


We can check SQL Server database integrity of all the objects in the specified database by using DBCC CHECKDB command. It helps to check database corruption. DBCC CHECKDB command offers many options to check sql server database integrity. Check this syntax which covers all DBCC CHECKDB command integrity check options:

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
DBCC CHECKDB 
    ( 'database_name' 
            [ , NOINDEX 
                | { REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS 
                    | REPAIR_FAST 
                    | REPAIR_REBUILD 
                    } ] 
    )    [ WITH { [ ALL_ERRORMSGS ] 
                    [ , [ NO_INFOMSGS ] ] 
                    [ , [ TABLOCK ] ] 
                    [ , [ ESTIMATEONLY ] ] 
                    [ , [ PHYSICAL_ONLY ] ] 
                    } 
        ]
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


'database_name'
Replace this argument with your database name for which you want to check object allocation and structural integrity. If you have not specified it, it takes current database as a default value. 
NOINDEX
This argument used to specify that non clustered indexes for non system tables should not be checked. It decreases the overall execution time because it does not check non clustered indexes for user-defined tables. 

For using following three repair options REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS, REPAIR_FAST,  REPAIR_REBUILD, the given database_name must be in single-user mode.

REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS: 
This argument used to correct allocation errors, structural row or page errors, and deletion of corrupted text objects. This repair option can result some data loss. The repair may be done under user transactions which allow the user to roll back all the changes made. If this repair are rolled back & the database still contain errors, should be restored from a backup. It can Perform all the repairs actions that done by REPAIR_REBUILD

REPAIR_FAST: 
This option can be done quickly & have no risk of data loss. It used to perform minor repair actions such as repairing extra keys in non clustered indexes. 

REPAIR_REBUILD: 
It can Performs all the repairs actions that done by REPAIR_FAST &  can be done without risk of data loss.

All arguments that are mentioned after “With” in the syntax used to display the error messages.

ALL_ERRORMSGS

It shows an unlimited number of errors per object. 

NO_INFOMSGS
It is used display the current database File Name, Database Name, Total Extend, Used Extent, Field ID and File Group.

TABLOCK
It is a cause to DBCC CHECKDB run faster on a database under heavy load, but it decreased the concurrency available on the database while DBCC CHECKDB is running.

ESTIMATE ONLY
It shows the estimated amount of tempdb space needed to run DBCC CHECKDB with all of the other specified options. 

PHYSICAL_ONLY
It is designed to check physical consistency of the database. It also detects disk errors, controller issues or other hardware-based problems.

Conclusion: You should regularly run consistency checks. If DBCC CHECKDB command indicates any Errors message in the database, it should be corrected immediately.
