TECH TIPS FIVE

Chennai comrade has sent these useful  tips. 
Will Some One Check and Inform Me !!

LIVECHENNAI.COM

Five Things you Probably Never knew your Mobile Phone Could do

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

First - Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

Second

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a mobile / cell phone :

If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.

Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). A mate tried … It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone!’.

Third - Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys*3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

Fourth

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

Fifth

Also -ATM PIN Number Reversal - Good to Know

If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234, then you would put in 4321. The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.

This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don’t know about it. Please pass this along to everyone

CLARIFICATION ON COUNTING THE SERVICE RENDERED IN THE PARENT ORGANIZATION AND THE BENCHMARK FOR MACP PROMOTIONS

The service in the earlier organization will be counted for the purpose of MACP when the official is transferred to new office whether on request or otherwise and next Grade Pay will be given. 
The benchmark condition has been relaxed to some extent. Now the benchmark for promotion under MACP should not be more than the benchmark required for granting promotion to regular grade.

Subject: Fresh empanelment of private hospitals and revision of Room Rent applicable under CGHS.

The undersigned is directed to state that CGHS had initiated action for fresh empanelment of private hospitals under CGHS and also for the revision of package rates (which were fixed in 2006-07), to be paid to hospitals, by floating tender for the same. On the basis of the responses received package rates for various procedures/ treatments have been arrived at and have been uploaded in the website of CGHS:


                                              http://www.mohfw.nic.in/cghsnew/index.asp and can be downloaded.               

2. "Package Rate" shall mean and include lump sum cost of inpatient treatment /day care / diagnostic procedure for which a CGHS beneficiary has been permitted bythe competent authority or for treatment under emergency from the time of admission to the time of discharge including (but not limited to) – (i) Registration charges, (ii)Admission charges, (iii) Accommodation charges including patients diet, (iv)Operation charges, (v) Injection charges, (vi) Dressing charges, (vii) Doctor /consultant visit charges, (viii) ICU / ICCU charges, (ix) Monitoring charges, (x)Transfusion charges, (xi) Anesthesia charges, (xii) Operation theatre charges, (xiii)Procedural charges / surgeon's fee, (xiv) Cost of surgical disposables and all sundries used during hospitalization, (xv) Cost of medicines, (xvi) Related routine and essential investigations, (xvii) Physiotherapy charges etc. (xviii) Nursing care and charges for its services.

7 days for other Major Surgeries;
3 days for Laparoscopic surgeries / normal deliveries; and
1 day for day care / Minor (OPD) surgeries.
2.3 However, there are certain procedures where there is no prescribed package rate under CGHS. Similarly, there are medical emergencies where the treatment is mainly conservative. The admissible amount in such cases is calculated item wise, room rent, procedures, investigation , etc.,.

Therefore, it has now been decided to revise the rates applicable for room rent (Accommodation Charges) for different categories of wards as given below:

General ward -Rs.1000/- per day
Semi-private ward -Rs. 2000/- per day
Private ward -Rs.3000/- per day

3.              Rs. 19,540/- and above                                                                    Private Ward

4.2 This issues with the concurrence of Internal Finance Division in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, vide Dy. No: AS & FA / 3932 /2010 dated the 8th November , 2010.

The revised rates will come into effect from the date of issue of this Office Memorandum.

Conf/232010

Dated: 14^th December,2010

Dear Comrade,

                We write this in continuation of our circular letter No. 22 dated.6^th December, 2010 wherein we had conveyed the decisions taken at the National Council meeting held at Mumbai on 1^st December, 2010. The Central Trade Unions had convened a meeting of all federations on 8^th December, 2010 at NRMU office at New Delhi.  Since the undersigned had been out of Delhi, we could not participate in the said meeting.  The meeting had discussed of the need to make the Workers march to Parliament programme slated for 23^rd Feb. 2011 a grand success by eliciting the participation of large number of employees and workers.  As you are aware we had discussed the issue in our last National Council meeting and had taken the decision to mobilise large number of Government employees in the march. 

                In order to ensure that the CGEs from various states do participate in this important event, it would be better that the State Committees take steps immediately in the matter.  In the annexure to this letter we have indicated minimum number of comrades, each State Committee to deploy in this programme. While it should be the endeavour of the neighbouring States to mobilise larger number of employees, the far off State Committees are requested to meet and identify the comrades and book their to and fro passage and indicate to the CHQ as to whether any arrangements must be made for their stay etc. At Delhi.   Unless the number is indicated it would be difficult to book accommodation for stay at Delhi.  The comrades who are deployed to participate in the programme from far off States are requested to please reach Delhi latest by 22^nd night as the trains are likely to be delayed on 23^rd Feb. 2011.  The neighbouring States may kindly arrange buses to carry the comrades to Delhi and back.  They are also requested to make these arrangements as early as possible and intimate us so that we can make arrangements for  parking of these vehicles as large number of vehicles are likely to be reaching Delhi on that day carrying comrades to participate in the programme.  As and when we receive any other details from the sponsoring committee of this programme we shall intimate the same to you.

                With greetings,

Yours fraternally,

K.K.N.Kutty
