![]() But the hip London music press saw through The Police's punk camouflage and did little to disguise their contempt, and the band's early releases had no chart success. Within days Copeland Senior had them a record deal. Replacing Padovani with the virtuoso talents of Andy Summers the band also enrolled Stewart's elder brother Miles as manager, wowing him with a Sting song called 'Roxanne'. Ever the businessman, Copeland took the name The Police figuring it would be good publicity, and the three started gigging round landmark punk venues like The Roxy, Marquee, Vortex and Nashville in London. Seeing punk as flag of convenience, Copeland and Sting - together with Corsican guitarist Henri Padovani - started rehearsing and looking for gigs. The two hooked up shortly afterwards and within months, Sting had left his teaching job and moved to London. Stewart Copeland, drummer with Curved Air, saw Last Exit on a visit to Newcastle and while the music did nothing for him he did recognise the potential and charisma of the bass player. Last Exit were big in the North East, but their jazz fusion was doomed to fail when punk rock exploded onto the music scene in 1976. Sting paid his early dues playing bass with local outfits The Newcastle Big Band, The Phoenix Jazzmen, Earthrise and Last Exit, the latter of which featured his first efforts at song writing. To avoid confusion, the department has stressed on ELISA test of dengue suspects and directed all CDMOs to instruct private healthcare facilities to send samples to sentinel sites in their respective districts.Born 2 October 1951, in Wallsend, north-east England, Gordon Sumner's life started to change the evening a fellow musician in the Phoenix Jazzmen caught sight of his black and yellow striped sweater and decided to re-christen him Sting. Meanwhile, a committee of the Health and Family Welfare department will examine the suspected dengue death case for confirmation as a card test was conducted on the patient which is not foolproof. The bed occupancy in the ward, however, has remained nil. The number of beds will be increased as per requirement. ![]() The City’s health wing and NVBDCP are jointly working to sensitise people, especially in slums and other vulnerable localities, to destroy mosquito breeding sources and keep the infection in check.Ĭapital Hospital director Dr Laxmidhar Sahoo said a separate dengue ward has already been set up with 10 dedicated beds. Dengue virus serotype-2 (DENV-2 or D2), the most virulent strain, had also been detected during this season.Īdditional district urban public health officer Antaryami Mishra said adequate measures are being taken to contain spread of the disease this season. He, however, admitted that the source reduction drive of BMC to eliminate mosquito breeding grounds has been delayed. Inadequate preventive measures and poor source reduction measures prior to the monsoon last year had led to a massive outbreak of dengue in the City infecting nearly 2,000 people. BMC and health teams comprising ASHA and anganwadi workers besides medical officers have also started visiting the Wards to create awareness on source reduction,” a BMC official said. “Two teams have been formed in each of the three zones in the city to carry out the fogging drive. In view of the situation, the Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) launched an anti-dengue fogging drive in the City’s Ward no 1 and 3 from Friday. We have started eliminating mosquito larval habitats in the affected areas to contain its spread,” the official said. “The cases, however, have remained sporadic. While the disease is suspected to have claimed the life of a retired police official on Wednesday, an official of the National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) said six cases have already been detected from different places including Damana and Chandrasekharpur in June so far.
