Beckham goes to AC Milan

The England midfielder, 33, plays for Los Angeles Galaxy, whose Major League Soccer season ends this weekend. Speaking on Wednesday morning, Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani said: "Beckham has chosen Milan. He'll stay here in Milan on loan for a few months. "Our squad is ultra-competitive and it will remain this way but Beckham is something different and intriguing."
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, who needs two more appearances to eclipse Bobby Moore as England's most-capped outfield player with 108, is eager to stay in contention for his country during the MLS close season. However, England coach Fabio Capello has made it clear he will only select players who are active and in form.

India goes to Moon

India has successfully launched its first mission to the Moon. The unmanned Chandrayaan 1 spacecraft blasted off smoothly from a launch pad in southern Andhra Pradesh to embark on a two-year mission of exploration. The robotic probe will orbit the Moon, compiling a 3-D atlas of the lunar surface and mapping the distribution of elements and minerals.
The launch is regarded as a major step for India as it seeks to keep pace with other space-faring nations in Asia. Indian PM Manmohan Singh hailed the launch as the "first step" in a historic milestone in the country's space programme. "Our scientific community has once again done the country proud and the entire nation salutes them," Mr Singh said in a message.
The launch was greeted with applause by scientists gathered at the site. The chief of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Madhavan Nair, said it was a "historic moment" for the country. "Today what we have charted is a remarkable journey for an Indian spacecraft to go to the moon and try to unravel the mysteries of the Earth's closest celestial body and its only natural satellite," Mr Nair said.

Is Kumble in the trap?

The next question have already rosen up as Amit Mishra performed exceptionally well in his debut match against Aussies. The youngster has troubled the Aussies in almost all the occasions in a pitch where even Bajji could not do. Will this performance show the gate for Anil Kumble to retirement after DADA. But i feel that this is the right time and series to call it a day as the next generation of talented and original leg spinners are on the queue.

Can Barrack Obama stop IT Outsourcing???

Hi all!!! The buzz atpresent in the IT field especially in India is that wheather Barrack Obama can stop outsourcing. Barack Obama in his statement to his countrymen has said that he will stop outsourcing to provide the employment for the unemployed peoples of USA.
My Question is that wheather Software and IT related people can sustain the loss that will occur if Obama brings this change. The reason why i say is :
1. IT people have invested crores of money in India for better profit which they could not afford in USA or any other foreign country. If they do so, they will have to invest ten times the amount they have invested in India.
2. Next thing is that, IT concerns need people who can work for a very long time in a day to complete their projects at a rapid speed and fetch them more projects from other clients which is possible in countries like India. They can hire people from India at a low cost which is not at all possible in any other countries.
3. The main and the important resource that the IT concerns expects is the amount of brilliant brains which is available only in India.
When such conditions prevails, how could IT concerns stop Outsourcing. Not only that, if they go on to take people from US and stop outsourcing then they could not withstand even for one year which can lead to closing of their company which they will never think of at any cost. In such circumstances how could Barrack Obama stop IT Outsourcing.

is training for joining airways is safe?

Have you seen the Frankfin airhostess Institute Ad which says " mein alag thi,mein udnachahti thi(i was different,i wanted to fly)"?Now i realised all those dreams which a air-hostess training company claims is a illusion.In real life you have to struggle to achieve small success.The sacking of the cabin-crewby Jet airways is a fantastic example of this fact.Jet airways who sacked 1000 employees yesterday,has certainly made the intentions ofthe Industry clear. Either be the best or get sacked.In this time of financial crisisin every industry in India and abroad,only a smart person can keep his job intact.Heshould be smart in his work,must flatter his boss and keep him happy.These are difficult times for Indian aviation. Airfares are going up, passenger load factoris coming down, and every airline is losing money. Unless airlines take some bold stepscarrying on may be difficult.so in this context,sacking of employees is justified.but more than that i would like to emphasize on one point: why air-hostess/crewtraining companies sell false dreams?Why they are playing with the careers of young people?They show in newspaper Ads that Indian Aviation industry needs 1000's of employees andtheir is shortfall of the skilled people in Indian Aviation Industry.Why they don'ttell freshers about the incidents and risks involved in this industry?Its true that everyone is different and wants to fly.But don't sell false dreams.

Dont Forget the journey

Hi all!!! This is for those who forget the journey of life. Many people miss out on a lot of life because they look past the journey. We all come up with many goals in life. It could be that we want to become managers at work, own a company. It could have something to do with our weight, or health. It could be that we have some family goals.Whatever the goal is, we usually can't wait to achieve it. We forget the gift of the journey. We don't usually look at it as a gift, but rather as a hardship to get us where we want to be. In so doing we miss out on many special moments in life. We get so focused on the finish line that we miss the great moments of the steps that it takes to get there. It is unfortunate.There are some God given moments hidden in the journey that should be recognized as "rewards". It is in the journey that people grow closer together. It is in the hardships the love is truly shown.Don't let the journeys of life pass you buy. Embrace them and enjoy them.

Something inside the Glass??? Hmmm!!!

The shape of a glass plays a role in how you perceive wine as explained by some. Some of your taste buds detect salty flavors, other bitter ones. The contours of a glass can project liquid to different tongue zones. Champagne flutes send it to the front where sweet and sour tastes tingle, broad red-wine glasses to the back where astringent flavors linger. Glasses affect the aroma too: fill a small glass to the brim and you'll choke the bouquet but swirl a little wine in a big glass and the smell is freed then channeled to your nose. Different wines benefit from different glassware - a delicate white wine would just get lost in a vast glass - but as a rule pour only half full.

Be careful Guys!!!

Your cell phone is probably covered with bacteria much more than you can imagine. Being the most used accessory in your daily life this is one which can be contaminated million times over. In a recent study of 50 mobiles it was found that all had bacteria; tow had bugs that can cause skin infections - a risk if you share your cell. bags are another hot spot breeding ground for germs. 20% to 30% of purses tested had bacteria associated with with fecal matter, likely because they'd been left on bathroom or restaurant floors or outside. To clean your stuff use disinfecting wipes. Be careful Guys!!!

The talented Leggie had burst into the test scene with a record breaking performance against the west Indies in chennai in 1987.He picked up 16 wicktes as a bespectacled 19 year old and kept up his good form for the next few games.But yet his career failed to pick up pace and hirwanu played only 17 tests for India.picking up 66 wicktes.He last layed for India in November 1996 against South Africa.Many say the talented but moody leg spinner was not nurtured properply by the Indian cricketing establishment,Thus cutting his International careershort.But hirwani went on plying his trade tirelessly inthe domestic circuit till 2006.Accommodated asa national selector only 2 years after his retirement.Hirwani's experience and hard work in the domestic circuit will give hope to the fringe players.He is expected to be sympathetic to players who have toiled hard in the domestic circuit.

Chika on a mission

The chairman of selectors has et out with an agenda to build a winning team for the 2011 world cup but has made itc learthat it is not ability alone that makes a cricketer but also his mental fortitude.He has also gone on record and said :"An eye for the future is equally important.Hard decisions might have to be taken.The current test team is one of the best India Has ever had and it will not be easy replacing them".Having played his cricket with no nonsense approach,Srikkanth has always been a vocal critic of board politics that have often pushed cricket to the backbenches and as a selector we expect him to follow that line and select a team based on its abilities and not regional colours.

An Advancement in technology to fight the nature

A German-Indonesian radio project tries to make forest conservation more popularBy Anett KellerIndonesia, the host of the climate summit in December, has a poor environmental record. An area of forest the size of five football fields is destroyed every minute in the country. The slashing and burning of its rainforests places the country among the world’s biggest carbon dioxide polluters.The United Nations could not have found a more fitting place for the climate summit than Indonesia. In this land of more than 13,000 islands, tropical rainforest is disappearing faster than anywhere else on Earth. Indonesia has lost four million hectares of forest in the past 25 years – that is 60 percent of the country’s total.The trees are used to make cheap plywood, weatherproof garden furniture, glossy magazines and toilet paper. Increasingly more of the land is converted into plantations to feed the growing hunger for bio-fuels made from palm oil. The slashing and burning of Indonesia’s jungles has dramatic consequences for the world climate: their layers of humus –many meters thick – bind carbon.For Germany’s international broadcaster Deutsche Welle and its Indonesian language radio department, that was a good reason to raise awareness of the problem in the country itself. “The whole world is watching the big event in Bali,” said Hendra Pasuhuk, the program director. “But for many Indonesians, the destruction of the forests and the consequences for the environment are not the least bit important.”Radio was the ideal medium with which to draw attention to the problem, as it is the most popular form of media in Indonesia. Along with the Indonesian partner station Radio KBR68H, and with support from the German Development Ministry, the forest conservation project went into action.First, Indonesian radio journalists were called upon to work out an abstract on the subject of conservation. “It was important to us to get people who (themselves) came from the affected regions and were not reporting from the distant capital,” Pasuhuk said. Ten journalists from five provinces took part in a weeklong workshop in Jakarta at the end of October. They gained valuable input from environmentalists and forestry ministry officials. At the same time, they were supposed to turn their ideas into plans, which they could use as a basis for about 10 days ofresearch in their regions – accompanied by a colleague from Deutsche Welle. The aim of the project was to make a feature series of 10-minute reports to broadcast on about 400 local radio stations during the climate summit.For the journalists involved, it was a rare opportunity to do some solid on-the-spot research – something their limited resources usually don’t allow, says Ade Wahyudi, program manager at KBR68H. “In the provinces in particular, journalists don’t have the technical or the financialcapacity for fact-finding trips,” he said, adding that the complex topic of forest conservation can best be communicated to listeners when presented in a lively way and told from the perspective of those affected.The project yielded some interesting results. Some of the journalists went to the island of Kalimantan, looking for Sebuku elephants. Only a few dozen of them have survived the destruction of their habitat in the forests of East Kalimantan. In eastern Java, project members found a village where every single resident earns a living from illegal logging. Not even the police dare to go there.Another team went to Poso and Palu in central Sulawesi, places famous for the black wood of the ebony tree. Officially, ebony is protected and the trees must not be felled. But the violent conflict in the region makes the rules hard to enforce and prevents reforestation programs.The decades-long conflict in Papua between the local population and the central government with its huge army presence has also had an impact on the environment. The military, foreign companies, local officials – there are many different parties earning money in the timber trade.Journalists dealing with the subject must navigate murky waters. “I received some phone calls where I felt threatened,” said Edith Koesoemawiria, a Deutsche Welle journalist. “And one time a man no one knew turned up and made it clear to me that I was not to report on logging.” She and her two local colleagues were investigating the situation in Papua. They reported on the problems in implementing reforestation programs. They visited villagers who cut down the hugetrees in their forests and sell the trunks to logging companies, just to feed their families – even though their area has been declared a nature reserve.Although she was shocked by the degree of environmental destruction she found, Koesoemawiria is enthusiastic about the project. She says far too little is known in Indonesia about the long-term effects of cutting down the rainforests. “People do know that there are mudslides when the treeshave been cut down,” she said. “But hardly anyone realizes that the destruction of the forests has a negative impact on the climate.” She admits it is difficult to bring about a sustained new awareness. But for that very reason, she says, you can’t report on the dangers of destroying the rainforest too often.The reports have been airing since Nov. 26. Partner stations across Indonesia have been broadcasting them. And the reports are even going out beyond the national borders. The “Asia Calling” program on KBR68H is rebroadcast by many stations in other Asian countries, in English and the national languages.

Stock Market

A stock market index is a method of measuring a stock market as a whole. The market can be Canadian stocks, American stocks, Bio-tech stocks, small-cap stocks, growth stocks, or any other market of interest. Many indices are compiled by news or financial services firms and are used to benchmark the performance of portfolios such as mutual funds.

Addressing inflation

Measuring inflation requires finding objective ways of separating out changes in nominal prices from other influences related to real activity. In the simplest possible case, if the price of a 10 oz. can of corn changes from $0.90 to $1.00 over the course of a year, with no change in quality, then this price change represents inflation. But we are usually more interested in knowing how the overall cost of living changes, and therefore instead of looking at the change in price of one good, we want to know how the price of a large 'basket' of goods and services changes. This is the purpose of looking at a price index, which is a weighted average of many prices. The weights in the Consumer Price Index, for example, represent the fraction of spending that typical consumers spend on each type of goods (using data collected by surveying households).Inflation measures are often modified over time, either for the relative weight of goods in the basket, or in the way in which goods from the present are compared with goods from the past. This includes hedonic adjustments and “reweighing” as well as using chained measures of inflation. As with many economic numbers, inflation numbers are often seasonally adjusted in order to differentiate expected cyclical cost increases, versus changes in the economy. Inflation numbers are averaged or otherwise subjected to statistical techniques in order to remove statistical noise and volatility of individual prices. Finally, when looking at inflation, economic institutions sometimes only look at subsets or special indices. One common set is inflation excluding food and energy, which is often called “core inflation”.

The 2nd Worlds most popular Currency

The euro is currently the second most commonly held reserve currency, being approximately a quarter of allocated holdings. After World War II and the rebuilding of the German economy (see the Wirtschaftswunder), the German Deutsche Mark gained the status of the second most important reserve currency after the US dollar. When the euro was launched on January 1 1999, replacing the Mark, French Franc and nine other European currencies, it inherited the status of a major reserve currency from the Mark. Since then its contribution to official reserves has risen continually as banks seek to diversify their reserves and trade in the eurozone continues to expand. The New York Times Book Review also referred to the euro as the "Deutsch-Mark by another name".
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said in September 2007 that the euro could replace the U.S. dollar as the world's primary reserve currency. It is "absolutely conceivable that the euro will replace the dollar as reserve currency, or will be traded as an equally important reserve currency." Econometrical analysis suggests, the euro may replace the U.S. dollar as the major reserve currency by 2020 if: (1) the remaining EU members, including the UK, adopt the Euro by 2020 or (2) the recent depreciation trend of the dollar persists into the future

Evolution of Coinage

These factors led to the shift of the store of value being the metal itself: at first silver, then both silver and gold. Metals were mined, weighed, and stamped into coins. This was to assure the individual taking the coin that he was getting a certain known weight of precious metal. Coins could be counterfeited, but they also created a new unit of account, which helped lead to banking. Archimedes' principle was that the next link in currency occurred: coins could now be easily tested for their fine weight of metal, and thus the value of a coin could be determined, even if it had been shaved, debased or otherwise tampered with (see Numismatics).In most major economies using coinage, copper, silver and gold formed three tiers of coins. Gold coins were used for large purchases, payment of the military and backing of state activities. Silver coins were used for large, but common, transactions, and as a unit of account for taxes, dues, contracts and fealty, while copper coins represented the coinage of common transaction. This system had been used in ancient India since the time of the Mahajanapadas. In Europe, this system worked through the medieval period because there was virtually no new gold, silver or copper introduced through mining or conquest. Thus the overall ratios of the three coinages remained roughly equivalent

What is Financing

The field of finance refers to the concepts of time, money and risk and how they are interrelated. Banks are the main facilitators of funding through the provision of credit, although private equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, and other organizations have become important. Financial assets, known as investments, are financially managed with careful attention to financial risk management to control financial risk. Financial instruments allow many forms ofsecuritized assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock exchanges, including debt such as bondsas well as equity in publicly-traded corporations.

Oil on Demand!!!

Few weeks back Mr. George Bush let out a comment that it is due to the heavy demand from China and India that the oil price has increased so much. I do not know about China but the Indian Government promptly objected to this remark but did not take the objection to a higher official level. I think the remark was more pointed towards China than India but we can not just ignore an accusing comment from a country which literally runs the globe. It does not mean you antagonise US - no - even f you want to - you just can't afford it. It is however essential to find out ways to move from oil and the next source of energy that comes to my mind is solar - except some Arab countries no country seems to take this free energy seriously - it is time that all the governments pooled together their resources to make this energy cost-effective. Next best source of energy is nuclear energy. But here also we can not go nuclear without the help of the US. Just because we went nuclear in the weapons side does not mean that we are self sufficient in the energy side of it. We have the minds - we need good politicians to make this fully happen.

5. Then cleaning of the exhaust portion is vital. Coal formation along the sides of the blades makes a horrible noise and reduces the millage of the bike too. This can be prevented by heating the silencer. While heating the scales coal looses it rigidity and falls down.

6. Apart from cleaning works it is much important the way we drive our bike. Proper changing of gears at regular speeds makes the transmission liable.

7. Maintain of correct air pressure in tyres makes the suspension feel good and because of this performance is maintained.

8. Usage of breaks can be avoided as much as possible. See if we keep this in mind rash driving can be avoided

9. The speed in which we drive the bike is important. Keep it same all the time i.e. the average speed must be the same all time where we go. The makes the engine to get nicely tuned to our style of driving.

10. Just after getting a new bike take a long distance drive at good speed in an empty road so that regulation of engine as well as tuning of engine begins there itself.

Dada : You never retire from our hearts

When we say prince of Kolkata or Bengal tiger only one name flashes in our mind and that’s non other than Sourav Ganguly. This prince was born on July8, 1972 in Kolkata. That on one thought this baby would transform into million dollar baby.He made his one day debut as a 19 year kid in January 1992 that against the mighty champion Australia. Who thought this tiger would lead India into world cup finals against the same one. But after that poor performance in that game he was put into controversy that he was not picked for his cricket but the fame he has. But dada disproved everything against England in 1996 by hitting consecutive tons in the first two tests.From there the Bengal south paw carried his carrier into a tree with full of success fruits only. His consistent and aggressive approach made the captain of Indian team. Ganguly has captain made many remarkable things. After twenty years he was the only Indian captain to take our till finals in world cup. Ganguly is rated as the best successive captain in India till now.He has very good attitude towards the game. This was proved by his comeback after a controversy with Great Chappell. By a person Sourav is very good man and have much self confidence in himself. Ganguly is well known for his sixes. Once at the age of 15years he hit a ball out of the stadium to the top of the gallery. His dancing shot against the slow left arm spinner is mind blowing one. This prince has scored 11,363 runs in 311 one day internationals at an awesome average of 41.02. This includes 22 hundreds. He also scored 6,888 runs in 109 matches with a great average of 41.74. He is one only Indian cricketer to get four man of the match awards continuously. He made that record in Sharjah. He is well known for his medium face bowling also. Prince of Kolkata will be always remembered the world for great character and awesome performance in cricket. May god bless him and his family with lots of happiness coming days. We love you Sourav Ganguly. Those who all like him please leave comment to this tribute.

Market Share

Maximizing market share has historically been a clear business objective. The main benefit of superior market share is related to cost-market share affects cost in terms of scale and experience. Market leaders are presumed to have lower costs than their competitors as a result of their experience and the scale of their operations. The role of market share in the relationships between service or product quality, customer and employee satisfaction, retention and financial performance is complex. For example, higher market share can mean lower customer satisfaction, which presumably leads to deflated financial performance. The reasoning is mass producers are less able to satisfy customers the way niche players can. This may be true in some cases, but it stands to reason sophisticated corporations that practice market segmentation differentiate their product offerings and have effective marketing communications will be able to satisfy customers despite companies’ dominant market share.
