Ideas From You
Tracked by: 0 Boarder
If stock market runs on the principle of `mistrust` among competing peers, try following and see astounding results :
1. Listen to, yet never take the advice of your closest advisors seriously.
2. Count your cents before dreaming about dollars.
3. Drive ambitions slow as speeding up saves just a fraction of time that is of little relevance in a life of 100 years.
4. Stay put, people like to see a fighting cock than a dead lion.
5. Pray, God does not speak, but listens certainly.

Moony facts of origin of Moon
%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%.%
The surface of the Moon has two hemispheres with rather asymmetric properties; as a consequence the nature of the Lunar surface that we can see from the Earth is substantially different from the surface that is always hidden from the Earth.
The Near Side :
The face of the Moon turned toward us is termed the near side. It is divided into light areas called the Lunar Highlands and darker areas called Maria (literally, "seas"; the singular is Mare). The Maria are lower in altitude than the Highlands, but there is no water on the Moon so they are not literally seas (Recent evidence from the Clementine spacecraft suggests that there may be some water on the Moon, contrary to previous assumptions). The dark material filling the Maria is actually dark, solidified lava from earlier periods of Lunar volcanism. Both the Maria and the Highlands exhibit large craters that are the result of meteor impacts. There are many more such impact craters in the Highlands.
The Far Side :
The side of the Moon unseen from the Earth is called the far side. One of the discoveries of the first Lunar orbiters is that the far side has a very different appearance than the near side. In particular, there are almost no Maria on the far side, as illustrated in the image shown to the left of a portion of the far side surface. In this figure a number of meteor impact craters are visible.
The bulk density of the Moon is 3.4 g/cc, which is comparable to that of (volcanic) basaltic lavas on the Earth (however, the bulk density of the Earth is 5.5 g/cc, because of the dense iron/nickel core). The Moon is coverered with a gently rolling layer of powdery soil with scattered rocks that is called the regolith; it is made from debris blasted out of the Lunar craters by the meteor impacts that created them. Each well-preserved Lunar crater is surrounded by a sheet of ejected material called the ejecta blanket.

About Petroleum and Oil
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`
Petroleum is a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons (chemical compounds containing only hydrogen and carbon) plus various impurities such as sulfur. Unprocessed petroleum is usually called crude oil, although it has been called mineral oil and Seneca oil, named for the Seneca Indians of Western Pennsylvania. The name petroleum is from a combination of Latin words meaning "rock oil". We refer to it here simply as oil.
As found in the earth, oil may have a variety of properties. Some forms are black, others dark green, and some light like kerosene. The liquid ranges from very viscous to easy-flowing. Crude oil usually consists of a mixture of hydrocarbons having varying molecular weights and differing from one another in structure and properties. These various species are separated into groups, or fractions, by a process of distillation called refining. Oil fuel, in all of its usable forms, is a refined product, unlike coal and natural gas which can often be burned in their natural condition.

Now that markets r crumbled down ,let us use this spare time to discuss some phillosophy about life.
Learned boarders,please share your opinions on what an ideal human life according to u is.
These days so much emphasis is given to accumulation of wealth and position and these r only major criterian available to prove oneself to others as worthy and to feel satisfied to have lived meaningfully.One indulges in so many manipulations in order to achieve this,gets blind to conscience and life passes away.
One can not hold time.
Very few years are given by nature to the body to be alive.
What should be the utmost utilisation of these few years?Please share ur learned opinions....

Our analysis shows that India can sequester a maximum of $56 billion for investment through the SWF. This figure is equivalent to the long term portion (after removing portfolio money and short term debt) of excess forex reserves, calculated as the difference between the reserve level predicted by a regression model (that accounts for multiple influencing parameters) and the actual reserve level. After due consideration of the SWF management structures adopted around the world, it can be concluded that Korea’s structure will be most suited to India. A steering committee comprising of civil experts overseeing a team of external professional fund managers should be entrusted the responsibility of managing the fund. Appropriate vigilance, audit and compliance committees should be assigned the task of regulating the functioning of the fund. Finally, given the time required to make the necessary regulatory and institutional arrangements for the fund, and also the fast-catching pace of SWFs as a global trend, it will be in the best interest of the country to act on the formation of an SWF right away.

\\ Pearl symbolizes love, success, and happiness \\
The color of pearls varies with the mollusk and its environment. It ranges from black to white, with the rose of Indian pearls esteemed most. Other colors are cream, gray, blue, yellow, lavender, green, and mauve. All occur in delicate shades. Cultured pearls are being produced in virtually every color of the rainbow.
The chief component of the nacre that constitutes the pearl is aragonite CaCO. Pearls are formed by a mollusk consisting of the same material (called nacre, or mother-of-pearl) as the mollusk`s shell. It is a highly valued gemstone.
The shell-secreting cells of the mollusk are located in the mantleof its body. When a foreign particle penetrates the mantle, the cells attach to the particle and build up more or less concentric layers of pearl around it. Irregularly shaped pearls called baroque pearls are those that have grown in muscular tissue. Pearls that grow adjacent to the shell are often flat on one side and are called blister pearls.
Pearls are characterized by their translucence and lustre and by a delicate play of surface color called orient. The more perfect its shape (spherical or droplike) and the deeper its lustre, the greater its value. Only those pearls produced by mollusks whose shells are lined with mother-of-pearl (e.g., certain species of both saltwater oysters and freshwater clams) are really fine pearls. Pearls from other mollusks are reddish or whitish, porcellaneous, or lacking in pearly lustre.
The surface of a pearl is rough to the touch. Pearls come in a wide range of sizes. Those weighing less than 1/4 grain (1 pearl grain = 50 milligrams = 1/4 carat) are called seed pearls. The largest naturally occurring pearls are the baroque pearls; one such pearl is known to have weighed 1,860 grains.
Cultured pearl is natural but cultivated pearl produced by a mollusk after the intentional introduction of a foreign object inside the creature`s shell.

No fund manager or big analyst will agree that timing in investments is a very necessary thing as is choice of the scrip..(All the time they want the ppl to go on investing, so that they vested interests are taken care of)
I have seen for the last 20+ yrs that mere selection of scrip to invest alone wont work at all..The bull run from the second half of 2003 to the 2nd week of 2008 is a long one and many ppl are lead to believe that simply buying& staying invested will give them bumper returns..Now all that is shaken up most violently by the markets.
It is amusing to still find many people talking of only a buy&hold strategy which wont work..
Market will remain like this always.The thing is we dont have a unique strategy which will suit our own particular needs.Unless we are very clear on where we stand and what are our own strengths & weaknesses whatever may be the market condition,we may not make much headway..

Evolution of Different types of Glass
_____________________________________
Float Glass : Perfectly flat clear glass made using the Float Process. Glass form most widely used for windows etc.
Reflective Glass : Ordinary Plate glass with a metallic coating on one side to reduce solar heat transfer. The metallic coating produces a mirror effect prevent viewing through glass pane.
Insulating Glass: Two or more panes of glass with a hermetically sealed space between. Glass used for double glazing.
Pattern Glass: Normal plate glass with pattern molded into the surface by passing plate through engraved rollers
Wired Glass : Normal glass which has a wire mesh inserted during the production process. This glass is only as strong as normal glass. However on fracture the mesh stays in place and holds the glass together. Can be used for security and for a low cost fire glass
Laminated Glass : Laminated glass is a combination of two or more glass sheets with one or more interlayers of plastic (PVB) or resin. In case of breakage the plastic holds the glass fragments
Fire-Resistant Glass: Contains flames and inflammable gas for a short period of time. Does not prevent the conduction of heat through panes.
Tempered Toughened Glass: Tempered (toughened) glass is two or more times stronger than annealed glass. When broken, it shatters into many small fragments which prevent major injuries. Tempered glass has a highly stress surface and cannot be cut as conventional plate glass
Bullet Proof Glass : Bullet-resistant laminates consist of multiple plates of glass with a internal polycarbonate plates bonded together by interlayers of polyvinyl butyral or aliphatic urethane. These laminates can resist bullet penetration from a variety of small arms and rifles.

Hair Dryer :
A hair dryer, also known as a blow dryer, is an electrical device used to dry and style hair. It uses an electric fan to blow air across a heating coil; as the air passes through the dryer it heats up. When the warm air reaches wet hair it helps evaporate the water. Hair dryers may be used with a variety of brushes and combs to achieve different hair styles.
The first handheld hairdryer appeared on the market in 1925. It produced only 100 watts of heat and therefore did not have sufficient power to dry hair quickly. It weighed over 2 lb (1 kg) because it was made of heavy steel and zinc. Over the next 20 years engineers improved the design and managed to triple the heat output, raising it to 300 watts. By the 1960s, further improvements in electrical technology allowed the production of hairdryers with up to 500 watts of power. In the late 1970s, manufacturers began to focus on improving the safety of dryers. Early hairdryers were dangerous because if they accidentally came in contact with water they would short circuit and cause an electrical shock. There are hundreds of recorded cases of accidental electrocutions because a hairdryer was dropped into a bathtub or sink full of water while it was being used. In the late 1970s the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommended guidelines for hair dryer manufacturers to follow that would create safer products.
The power of hair dryers was limited by the electric motors available. As smaller, more efficient motors were developed, greater airflow and greater heat output could be chieved. By the 1990s portable hairdryers could produce over 1500 watts of heat. Improvements in plastic technology and the discovery of new insulating materials made possible a new generation of lightweight hairdryers. Modern hair dryers can produce up 2000 watts of heat and can dry hair faster than ever before.

The Story of Bakelite :
The first completely synthetic man-made substance was discovered in 1907, when Leo Baekeland, a New York chemist, developed a liquid resin that he named Bakelite. Baekeland had developed an apparatus - which he called a Bakelizer - that enabled him to vary heat and pressure precisely so as to control the reaction of volatile chemicals. Using this pot-like apparatus, Baekeland developed a new liquid (bakelite resin) that rapidly hardened and took the shape of its container. Once hardened, the resin would form an exact replica of any vessel that contained it. This new material would not burn, boil, melt, or dissolve in any commonly available acid or solvent. This meant that once it was firmly set, it would never change. This one benefit made it stand out from previous "plastics." While celluloid-based substances could be melted down innumerable times and reformed, Bakelite was the first thermoset plastic which would retain its shape and form under any circumstances.
Bakelite could be added to almost any material - such as softwood - and instantly make it more durable and effective. Numerous products began to be manufactured based on this new material. One of the sectors of society most interested in its development was the military. The US Government saw Bakelite opening the door to production of new weaponry and lightweight war machinery that steel could not match. In fact, Bakelite was a key ingredient in most of the weapons used in the Second World War.
Bakelite was also used for domestic purposes such as electrical insulators. For this purpose it proved to be more effective than any other material available - so effective, in fact, that it is still used as such today. Bakelite is electrically resistant, chemically stable, heat-resistant, shatter-proof and neither cracks, fades, creases, nor discolors from exposure to sunlight, dampness or sea salt.

Viruses to power batteries of the future :
The energy for tomorrow's miniature electronic devices could come from tiny microbatteries about half the size of a human cell and built with viruses. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US believe they can build them, thanks to a new advance in battery technology.
By pouring a mixture of the harmless, genetically engineered M13 virus and the metal cobalt over stamped silicon film, Professor Angela Belcher and her colleagues have created a flexible, microscopic battery that could be cheaply mass produced.
In theory, it could turn virtually any surface - from large computers to tiny implanted detectors for cancer or heart disease - into an energy-storing device.
Because the batteries are so small they will first be used to power small things, such as lab-on-a-chip technology and implantable devices that would monitor patient health.
Eventually Belcher hopes to scale up virus-based batteries for larger devices like computers or even cars that wouldn't need a separate battery. The battery would instead be built into the surface of the car itself.
