Eleven Digit Mobile Numbers from Jan 2010

Department of Telecommunication is proposing to switch from 10 digits mobile numbers to 11 digits number as the series is exhausting fast due to steep rise in the increase of the mobile subscribers. At the end of Dec 2008 there were around 346.9 million subscribers in India. China already have 11 digit numbers and India is catching up the most populous country in number of people as well and if the population growth keep on increases like the past few years then it will catch China very soon.

Well don't know whether some of you know or not but I have seen many such practices by various cellular companies where they in name of increasing their subscriber base they sell SIMS at throw away prices and in some case they are also providing more talk values then the original cost of the new connection so many people purchase those, use the talk value and then throw away all those SIMS while cell companies claim a bigger subscriber base.

Paper Leaks in Rajasthan

Board of Secondary Education has achieved the dubious record of so many paper leaks this year. Two papers of Class X and one paper of XII along with four paper of VIII class have been cancelled on grounds of paper leak but no one knows how many papers actually get leaked because it's still unclear from where these paper get leaked. One of the leading newspaper claimed that the real picture is far from truth as they get many fax and from them many questions come as it is, board says that they are only guess papers but how come they be so accurate is not clear. The board has made the life of an average studious more difficult as they have to go through all those exam blues again for no fault of them. Around ten lakh secondary students has to take exam again later while around 46,000 senior secondary students has to take Sanskrit Litt. II on 12^th April. Even after all this melodrama, government and administration were accusing each other for the ruckus, some call it is due to political rivalry and the result is the resignation of Board Chairman Mr Bharat Kumar Kumhar. But this seems as only scapegoat in the whole process, the real culprits are still at large.

Bharatiya Janata Party Election Manifesto 2009

HAPPY READING J

 

DETERMINED LEADER, DECISIVE GOVERNMENT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY and HIGHLIGHTS

PUTTING POOR FIRST

1. All BPL families to get 35 kg of rice or wheat every month at Rs 2 per kg. This will be available against Food Coupons redeemable both at PDS and private outlets.

2. Ensure farm loans at a maximum interest rate of 4 percent.

3. Waive agricultural loans.

4. Introduce a Farm Income Insurance Scheme through which both price and produce will be insured

5. Irrigate 35 million hectares of additional farmland within 5 years.

6. Initiate special schemes for the urban poor, such as loans at 4 percent interest to poor vendors.

7. Set up a "Workers Bank" to provide a safety net for unorganized sector workers.

8. Revise minimum wages and ensure strict implementation of the Wages Act.

ECONOMY GROWS, INDIA PROSPERS

1. Generate employment through massive public spending on infrastructure projects. Complete the implementation of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee's dream projects: National Highway Development Project by building 15-20 km of new highways every day; and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, to link all villages with over 500 people by all-weather road.

2. Introduce schemes to encourage private industry and services sectors. Ensure a low tax, low interest rate regime.

3. Exempt personal Income Tax for those earning up to Rs 3 lakh per annum. For women and Senior Citizens, the exemption will be Rs 3.5 lakh per annum. This will benefit over 3.5 crore people.

4. Complete exemption for interest income on bank deposits for all other than corporates and those who have business income.

5. Scrap Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT), which is a source of harassment to employees and employers alike.

6. Abolish CST and fix a ceiling of 12-14 percent on GST.

7. Ensure watertight monitoring of regulatory bodies so that the public is secured from companies indulging in fraudulent practices in the stock markets.

8. Construct 10,00,000 housing for the poor units every year; kick-start the real estate sector that is suffering at present. Bring down interest on housing loans to make urban housing affordable.

9. Take firm steps to identify and retrieve Indian money stashed away in foreign banks. Estimated at Rs. 25 lakh crore-Rs. 75 lakh crore, getting this amount back through international cooperation will be enough to complete road and power connectivity throughout the country; ensure setting up of quality schools in all villages. This quantum of black money, if recovered, will amount to allocating Rs 4 crore to every Indian village to improve living conditions in the countryside.

10. Boost tourism sector: Identify 50 destinations and develop infrastructure, connectivity. Double foreign tourist arrivals in 5 years to help generate employment in hospitality industry.

11. Ban on foreign direct investment (FDI) in retail sector to help domestic retail trade.

WAR AGAINST ENEMIES WITHIN AND WITHOUT

2. Reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels by promoting renewable energy options such as run-on-river electricity projects, solar, wind power and biomass.

3. Secure energy needs through aggressive diplomatic and commercial moves in oil-producing countries.

WOMEN EMPOWERED, NATION STRENGTHENED

throughout India to directly transfer funds to the school going girl child to encourage education and secure economic self-sufficiency for young women. Rs. 1.18 lakh after completion of 12th

KAILA DEVI FAIR

KAILA DEVI FAIR
28 March 2009

The annual fair of Kaila Devi, (Mahalakshmi or the goddess of wealth), is held at the village Kaila (24 kms to the south west of Karauli) in Karauli district in the month of Chaitra (Mar-Apr), lasting for a fortnight. The temple of Kaila Devi is located on the banks of the Kalisil river in the hills of Trikut, 2 Kms. to the north-west of Kaila village. Another attraction is the small temple dedicated to Bhairon, situated in the courtyard and facing the shrine of Kaila Devi is a temple of Hanuman locally called 'Languriya'.

Approximately 2 lakh devotees gather during the fair. The ritual of Kanak-Dandotis is observed by staunch devotees. They cover a distance of 15 to 20 Kms to reach the temple, not on foot but by lying prostrate, making lines with their hands in that position, advancing up to the line drawn and repeating this procedure till they reach the temple.

While some eat food and take rest during the journey, others endure the rigours of the ritual.

Groups of Meena tribesmen arrive in a spirit of gaiety – dancing, singing and creating a lively atmosphere. The spacious courtyard becomes the venue for dances and songs sung in praise of the guardian deity. 

The nearest railhead is Hindaun at a distance of about 48 Kms. Shri Mahavirji is another railhead of the Western Railway near Kaila. The site is approachable by well maintained roads from Karauli, Hindaun and Mahavirji. During the fair, the State Transport as well as private operators provide bus services keeping in mind the huge inflow of pilgrims.

IPL to be held in SA from 18th April to 24th May

It has been confirmed now that second edition of IPL would be played in South Africa. The decision was made after a meeting between IPL Commissioner, Lalit Modi and Cricket South Africa Chief Executive Gerald Majola at Johannesburg on Tuesday.
England was not considered as the venue due to the inclement weather that prevails in the month of May during which England’s domestic season would be also be starting. There was a fear that 70% to 75% of IPL matches would be affected by rain and weather if England was chosen as the venue. Even though some of the franchisees preferred England as the venue, there was always an alternate available for IPL and that was South Africa. Further while shifting IPL out of India, it was promised that the first match of the day at 4.00 PM and the second match of the day would be at 8.00 PM, Indian Standard Time. IPL had assured the Indian viewing public that the prime time for watching the match on Television would not be compromised. This timing could be achieved more practically in South Africa than in England.

The first match of the season will be played on 18th April 2009.

Matches will be held in 6 cities - Johannesburg, Durban, East London, Centurion, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, which will also hold the Opening Ceremony.

There will be total six venues for the matches across South Africa.

Global Warming

There are lots of evidences that the Earth's surface is warmer today than it was a century ago. As for why this is so, research by thousands of scientists strongly suggests that the cause is the largely uncontrolled and still increasing release of anthropogenic (human-caused) greenhouse gases. Yet there remain a few scientists who oppose these conclusions, claiming that either the evidence for significant global warming is unreliable or that, granting the problem, the sources are natural cycles over which we have little or no control.

The conclusions held by leaders in a variety of fields can't help but have a profound impact on social, political, and economic policy. Thus each side has expended considerable effort to convince the public, and through it the political establishment, of the validity of its stance. But because neither has been entirely successful, particularly in the United States, policies have been inconsistent and changeable, subject to partisan wrangling, corporate lobbying, and a general inadequacy of resolve.

The importance of the issue was most forcefully brought to the public's attention with Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. Their unusual severity, being among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico, reminded a number of network newscasters of recent scientific reports predicting an increase in hurricane severity.

WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE THAT SIGNIFICANT GLOBAL WARMING IS OCCURRING?

If the summarized results of thousands of scientific studies that appear in the Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control-Climate Change 2001, The Scientific Study are valid, the answer is unambiguously that significant global warming is occurring.

Climate scientists define global warming as the measured increase in the mean Earth surface temperature over a specified time interval. The most reliable data are properly averaged over land and ocean surfaces, statistically weighted according to the density of measurements within each equal-area element.

So, according to the IPCC 2001 report, the Earth's surface has warmed by approximately 0.6 degrees Centigrade over the twentieth century.The warming hasn't been uniform over the globe, however. In general it has been greater over the land than the oceans and, probably for that reason, greater over the northern hemisphere than the southern. There is also some speculation that the greater industrial activity, hence greater greenhouse gas emission, in the northern hemisphere may have contributed.

Of particular concern is the rapid temperature rise over the last quarter of the twentieth century. The curve of increasing surface temperature in the twentieth century shows a definite increase in the first part of the century, then an extended plateau over the years 1940 to 1975, and finally the rapid increase.

If the weight of evidence suggests a problem is both real and likely to become more serious with time, most reasonable people would say that doing nothing is the height of folly. Therefore, notwithstanding the aforementioned uncertainties, there remains the fact that an enormous body of well-calibrated observations supports the unambiguous rise in global surface temperature.

HOW SERIOUS ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF GLOBAL WARMING?

It remains necessary to ask if the likely harmful effects of global warming sufficiently outweigh the probable benefits of policies that might have harmful economic consequences. Furthermore, we need to ask about the likely positive effects of global warming? Might the news be good rather than bad?

There is some truth in this latter idea. Moderate global warming will enhance the agricultural productivity over parts of the globe. Climate models haven't advanced to the point of yielding accurate predictions of the detailed effects on all regional climates, but all of the more sophisticated models, in agreement with observations, predict that warming is greatest at the higher northern latitudes. Thus, for example, it seems probable that large areas of Russia and Canada could become more productive as the Earth's surface warms, though this could be offset by insufficient regional rainfall, currently difficult to predict.

But are these benefits likely to significantly offset the known harmful effects of global warming? Let's review the negative consequences.

Perhaps most disturbing is sea-level rise. Water expands with increasing temperature, causing the sea level to rise accordingly. Many of the world's glaciers are also retreating and very few are growing. If greater warming should induce significant melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (anchored in the ocean below sea level) or, worse, a significant part of the Greenland Ice Cap, the rise in sea level could exceed twenty feet or more. The effect on major coastal cities, if warming continues, is likely to become significant by the end of the twenty-first century and will be disastrous or even catastrophic if the warming exceeds moderate increases of a few degrees Fahrenheit.

Many other damaging effects of global warming are known with near certainty. Warming increases the incidence of pathogens responsible for many human and animal diseases. Warming induces changes in weather patterns And warming means that a smaller fraction of the Earth's surface will be covered by snow and ice, which reflect sunlight more effectively than other land and sea surfaces. This increased absorption of sunlight sets in motion an unstable process that further enhances global warming.

IS HUMAN ACTIVITY THE CHIEF CAUSE OF GLOBAL WARMING TODAY?

It is often noted by critics of the current consensus that many natural processes might contribute to global warming and that one or more of them may be the dominant driver or drivers. It is therefore necessary to look at this claim and see if it holds up.

The lack of a convincing argument based on solid research for any hypotheses leads us to ask what we humans are doing that may be causing global warming. This leads naturally into an examination of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. Unlike the more speculative discussion of possible causes reviewed above, a very strong case can be made that carbon dioxide, in particular, is probably a significant driver, and could well be the dominant driver, of the current rapid rise in global mean surface temperatures.

There is no disagreement over the occurrence of the greenhouse effect to which carbon dioxide contributes. The question becomes how much greenhouse effect is good for us. Carbon dioxide is a well-studied gas that readily absorbs Earth's infrared radiation and reradiates part of it back to the Earth, thus causing warming.

The most effective driver of global warming reported in the IPCC 2001 report identify carbon dioxide as the strongest contributor. To summarize, the extensively studied and well-known greenhouse effects of carbon dioxide are so strong that, combined with its persistence in our atmosphere, we can reasonably conclude that the increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide from human activity is very likely the dominant driver of global warming, and the warming effects will probably become worse with time for several decades, even after the emission rate has subsided.

There are other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Methane is the most important of these, but nitrous oxides also contribute and their concentration is rapidly increasing. All these gases are well mixed and will remain in the atmosphere for many decades. Aerosols also play an important role in global warming, and the effect of most of them, especially the sulphates, is generally toward cooling, as we have learned from the effect of large volcanic eruptions

TOWARD A SOLUTION

Given all this, what can be done? Unfortunately, at this moment, there seem to be no technologically workable schemes for removing enough carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to make a measurable difference.

There are, after all, things that can be done. Reopening a serious international dialogue, and not just saying a few good words, would be a useful if inadequate start. Not every problem must be solved before the weight of evidence becomes so compelling that certain initial steps become almost mandatory. We already know how to make more fuel-efficient automobiles, yet no national policy has surfaced to accomplish this. The scientific and engineering communities are the ones best suited to identify the scientific research that is still needed and the technical projects that show the greatest promise. These issues should be decided by them and not the politicians. Once solutions look promising, as a few already do, industry will be all too ready to jump in, for at that stage there is money to be made. And only a fool would underestimate human ingenuity when given a proper incentive, or the strength of American industry once the boiler is lit under it.

The important thing is to get started doing some of these things in earnest, and not for us to stick our head in the sand doing business as usual until the water comes in over our eyelids. If we wait long enough, it will.
