In India, 1 in 4 women dies of heart disease. The most common cause of heart disease among women is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, the blood vessels that supply blood to the heart itself. This is called coronary artery disease, and it happens slowly over time. It's also the major reason why people have heart attacks. Heart diseases that affect women more than men include:

Coronary Micro Vascular Disease (MVD) - a problem that affects the heart's tiny arteries
Broken Heart Syndrome - extreme emotional stress leading to severe, but often short-term heart muscle failure

The risk of acquiring heart disease is higher among older women. However, women of all ages should be concerned by practicing a healthy lifestyle. Here are the risk factors associated with Coronary Heart Disease.

High blood pressure. High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney ailments. Even prehypertension (120-139 over 80-89) raises your risk of heart disease.

High blood cholesterol. Cholesterol travels in the blood in packages called lipoproteins. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is often called “bad” cholesterol because too much LDL in your blood can lead to blockades in the arteries, and a possible heart attack. The higher your LDL number, the higher your risk of heart disease. (An LDL level of 160* or above is high; less than 100 is optimal.) Another type of cholesterol is high density lipoprotein (HDL), also known as “good” cholesterol. That’s because HDL helps remove cholesterol from your blood.

Overweight/Obesity. If you are overweight or obese, you are more likely to develop heart disease, even if you have no other risk factors. Obesity also increases the
risks for stroke, congestive heart failure, gall bladder disease, diabetes, arthritis, and breathing problems, as well as breast, colon, and other cancers.

Physical inactivity. Not getting regular physical activity increases your risk for heart disease, as well as other heart disease such as high blood pressure, diabetes and overweight. And, for older women especially, physical inactivity increases the chances of developing osteoporosis, which in turn raises the risk of broken bones.

Diabetes. Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and other diseases. The type of diabetes that adults most commonly develop is “Type 2.”
You are more likely to develop this disease if you are overweight (especially with extra weight around your middle), physically inactive, or have a family history of diabetes.

LUCKNOW: UP has been ranked top with maximum share of about 40 per cent in the new investments attracted by real estate sector among top 20 states across the country during the first quarter of current fiscal, industry body ASSOCHAM said today.


Interestingly, the total new investments in real estate sector across the country had dipped by over 50 per cent during the course of past one year.

The top 20 states of India had attracted new investments worth over Rs 11,905 crore in the Q1 of FY 12-13 as against Rs 5,884 worth of new investments in Q1 of this fiscal.

"UP has attracted new investments in the real estate sector worth about Rs 2,350 crore in Q1 of FY 13-14 as against Rs 1,500 crore worth of new investments attracted by the state during corresponding period of last year," according to a paper titled 'Current State of Real Estate Sector in India and It's Revival,' released by The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM).

However, timely completion of ongoing projects has remained a major concern for a long-time in the state, said D S Rawat, national secretary general of ASSOCHAM, while releasing the chamber's paper.

"Real estate projects worth over Rs 2,971 crore got completed during the Q1 of FY 13-14 across India, thereby registering over 50 per cent growth in rate of project completion as realty projects worth only Rs 1,976 crore had got completed in Q1 of the previous financial year," Rawat said.

"With a share of about 10 per cent in total outstanding investments worth over Rs 14 lakh crore attracted by top 20 states in the real estate sector as of June 2013, UP ranks fifth with outstanding investments worth over Rs 1.4 lakh crore in the realty sector," Rawat said.

With real estate projects worth over Rs 1.3 lakh crore under implementation in UP, the state commands a share of about 14 per cent in realty projects out of a total of over Rs 9.4 lakh crore under implementation across top 20 states of the country, the ASSOCHAM paper said.

India's construction sector comprising of townships, housing, built-up infrastructure and construction development projects has attracted a cumulative foreign direct investment ( FDI) of over USD 22 billion during April 2000-June 2013, highlighted the ASSOCHAM paper.

Maharashtra alone accounts for highest share of about 20 per cent with outstanding investments worth about Rs 3 lakh crore. It is followed by Gujarat (15 per cent), Haryana (12 per cent), Karnataka (12 per cent), Uttar Pradesh (10 per cent) and Andhra Pradesh (10 per cent).

Followed by UP, the state of Maharashtra has acquired second highest share of 17 per cent in attracting new investments in realty sector in Q1 of FY 13-14 followed by Tamil Nadu (17 per cent), Uttarakhand (nine per cent) and Karnataka (six per cent) that are amid top five states in this regard.

Ranchi: A special CBI court in Ranchi has convicted RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, along with 44 others, in the Rs. 37.70 crore fodder scam case. Lalu has also been disqualified as a Lok Sabha member.
The quantum of punishment to Lalu, and the other 44 convicts, will be decided on October 3. Lalu is likely to face three to seven years in jail.

The court has found Lalu Yadav guilty in just one of the cases against him – that of criminal conspiracy, corruption and cheating. Judgement on the other five cases is awaited.
The verdict is crucial for Lalu Prasad and his future as a political leader since the central government ordinance that would have shielded tainted and convicted parliamentarians and legislators from disqualification has been put under scanner and is likely to be withdrawn.

There were a total of 56 accused in the case. But during the trial, seven accused died, two turned approver, one admitted to the crime and one was discharged.

Judge P.K. Singh had fixed July 15 as the date of verdict, and asked the remaining 45 accused to be present in the court.

Lalu Prasad moved the Jharkhand High Court and later the Supreme Court, seeking change of the judge in the case. Both the courts dismissed his petition, and directed him to complete argument in the case before the CBI court.

Lalu Prasad quit the chief minister's post in 1997 when his name figured in the CBI investigations in the scam, which surfaced in 1996.

Around 54 of the 61 cases were transferred to Jharkhand, after it was created as a separate state from Bihar in November 2000. Different CBI courts have passed judgments in more than 43 cases. Lalu Prasad and Jagannath Mishra are accused in five cases.
Yadav moved the Jharkhand High Court and later the Supreme Court, seeking change of the judge in the case. Both the courts dismissed his petition, and directed him to complete argument in the case before the CBI court.
CBI’s allegations:

Lalu and former MLA and chairman of the public accounts committee (PAC) Jagdish Sharma with a view to protect and patronize the scamsters worked in tandem to get enquirers scuttled and stalled whenever such issues were raised.

Lalu was instrumental in promoting and extending service to scam kingpins and AHD officials, Late Dr Ram Raj Ram and Late Dr SB Sinha.

Huge withdrawal was made in 1994-95. Against the budgetary allocation of Rs. 74 crore for AHD, about Rs. 245 crore was withdrawn.

Lalu has close associations with accused suppliers DN Kashyap, Mohammad Sayeed among others.

Being the CM, Lalu never initiated any action to find out the cause of such alarming excess withdrawals from AHD and thus actively connived with -- finance minister, Chandra Prasad Verma; Vidya Sagar Nishad, Late Bhola Ram Toofani, cabinet ministers of AHD; Beck Julius, Mahesh Prasad, K Arumugam, Phool Chand Singh, AHD Secretaries -- to facilitate the fraud.

20% of the billed amount goes to suppliers and 80% goes to AHD officials, government officials, ministers, CM and other politicians.
Lalu's contentions:

"I have been targeted."

"None of the prosecution witnesses (350) ever mentioned my involvement in their testimony."

Persons who were accused in original FIR were made witnesses after filing of chargesheet.

Supplier Deepesh Chandak who lapped about Rs. 300 crore out of the total Rs. 550 crore scam money, was made prime witness by CBI.

CBI made the wrongdoers the approvers (witnesses), while making whistleblower (Lalu) accused.
