A machine that was developed lately
What it is
When it was developed
How it works and helps man
Well, our times have a seen a lot developments
And I would like to talk about a new medical machine
Developed recently, and it is going to be a great help to man.
The machine is called ultra sound signal chain
Which, the developers say, would help doctors and patients alike.
It’s the latest development in medical care, and
The developers Frost and Sullivan says that this machine
Can be commercially developed within a few months
When produced commercially, this machine will be small
Enough to be made portable, and it is designed to
Fit in ICUs, ambulances and similar mobile triage situations.
When it comes to its medial application
It works much more efficiently than any other ultra sound based
Diagnosing device. It is very simple, and almost sound proof and
It works on a new microchip which functions like a chain does,
Identifying ultrasounds one after the other and ending up with the
Last possible detection; that is even the indecipherable sound beats
This is best suited for people
who are suffering from age related ailments.
I think this chip-supported machine will revolutionize
The way geriatric care works these days
As our century is bound to look after greater number of
Aged people than it was before, this is medical machine
Will give the aged population a little relief.
Yes, this is a great development, that is all about it sir.

Some are of the opinion that art and literature are supposed to fight against the ills and evils of the society, whereas some others say, art and literature are personal expressions meant for entertaining the people.
Essay 055
• How do you look at these two view points?
It has always been a controversy whether art and literature have some social roles, or they are for their sake only. I feel that art and literature have a social role to play by criticizing the evils and bad practices of the society. This can be done in an entertaining way too.
When it comes to their responsibility of fighting against the evils of the society, it is right to look at the history of the world. We can cite innumerable examples to prove that art and literature have been instrumental to initiating changes and remedying social evils. For example, Indian freedom struggle was a success because the thinkers, artists and writers of those times had been able to project the evils of aggression, and people were able to respond to the calls of the freedom fighters.
However, there is no denying the fact that art and literature are personal expressions. It is true that people go creative and produce arts and literatures in order to express their feelings and thoughts. These feelings and thoughts have some social relevance and all their contributions naturally reflect the society they live in. The cartoons of R.K Lexman, the renowned Indian cartoonist, are typical examples. He has been able to express his feelings and fears he had of his society through his hilarious cartoon strips.
To conclude it, it is right to say that art and literature have always been powerful enough to make changes in the society. Obviously, they have helped eradicate several social evils. Of course, there are a few that are just for entertaining people.

Performance of employment exchanges: All India and Gujarat
The bar chart compares the performance of employment exchanges all over India with Gujarat for a period of seven years starting from 2002.
In 2002 and 2003, the national figures stood above 150000 whereas the corresponding figures of Gujarat were 70700 and 64900. In the following year, the national figure came much below 150000 mark, but Gujarat maintained its figure in tact. When the national figure went above 175000 in 2005, Gujarat also had a market improvement in its performance. It went up to 92900 from 64,900; nearly an increase by 50%.
In 2006, this figure went still further touching 990000 mark whereas the national figure did not show much improvement. It came a little closer to 200000 mark. On the other hand, Gujarat recorded almost two times increase it its number of placements in the year 2007. It shot up to 191000 from 99000. And, finally in 2008, it went still further touching 225000 point which is much higher than three times the number recorded in the year 2002.
It is clear that employment exchanges in Gujarat had much greater performance record than all the exchanges in India put together.

Fire English Language
if all the elements and here I'm talking about air, water, earth and fire, the last one is probably the most feared especially when we think about the recent forest fires over the last few months in different parts of the world. Not surprisingly it pops up in several expressions in English illustrating its strength and danger as well as words associated with fire.
"Playing with fire" means doing something that will have dangerous consequences like for example standing in the middle of a forest and teasing a wild bear. Going from one bad situation into another one that is just as bad can be described as "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire". And when someone comes along when you've just left the frying pan and are sitting in the fire and tries to help you but only makes things ten times worse, they are said to be "adding fuel to the fire". But sometimes this frightening element can also take on a more light-hearted appearance. When you are describing someone who is competent but will never do anything really amazing or dynamic, you could say "they will never set the Thames on fire".
Again if two people are seen to be getting on very well with each other, they could be described as "getting on like a house on fire". Don't ask me where that expression comes from but I can assure you that it is a very common one. But then in case I'm "under fire" (under attack) for being lazy I can only suppose that the two people are getting on very well so quickly in the same way that a house burns very quickly.
Fire has a particular significance from a historical point of view at this time of year in Britain. To be more precise it's the time for bonfires and fireworks. The date is contained in this little saying: "Please to remember the fifth of November/ gunpowder, treason and plot./ We know no reason why gunpowder treason/ Should ever be forgot".
I'm sure that it could well be "the burning question" -- a matter of great interest to many to know what I'm on about and as I have no wish to make you "burn the midnight oil" -- spend hours studying till late to find the answer -- I will explain.
There was a certain Guy Fawkes whose dates were 1570 to 1606 -- in other words he lived at roughly the same time as William Shakespeare (1564-1616). Whereas Shakespeare was too anxious to keep in with his two monarchs Elizabeth 1st and later James 1st and "keep the home fires burning" -- have money to pay for his house and family -- Fawkes had other ideas and was a member of a plot to blow up James 1st and both Houses of Parliament.
Unfortunately for Guy, who had a habit of "burning the candle at both ends" -- working too many hours -- was caught late at night preparing the gunpowder under the House on November 4th and in this way thoroughly "burnt his boats" -- couldn't go back and change what he had done. Poor Guy he didn't even have an "old flame" -- a former girl friend to help him -- and he was later executed for treason. Ever since then it has been customary for families in their back gardens, villages on their greens and towns in public fields to build a big bonfire and burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes and let off fireworks on the day planned for the assassination attempt -- November 5th.
The trouble is that in the same way that advertising for Christmas seems to begin in August so too fireworks are often on sale soon after the summer holidays. In fact even as I write I can hear my neighbours (I imagine the younger ones) "fired with enthusiasm" -- greatly encouraged -- are letting them off right now although it's a least two weeks to go to the proper night. But then I don't want to go on about it too much in case I get "shot down in flames" -- heavily criticised.
You can buy fireworks almost anywhere often in small shops which like to "have several irons in the fire" (several business interests) but sometimes they find they can't take on all these projects and some of them "get their fingers burnt" and end up losing money. There are many types of firework -- the ones that turn round in circles like a Catherine wheel, the big ones that fly off like rockets, the ones you hold in your hand called "sparklers" (incidentally a slang word for eyes) down to the humblest of them all called a "squib" that merely fizzes and then explodes very gently -- another word also for a short satirical speech. Mind you when a squib gets wet, it doesn't work and we say that the speech went off like a "damp squib".

Speak about your dream destination
• Name of the place
• When do you want to be there?
• Why do you want to be there?
Well, frankly speaking, I would like to be in many distant locations. Places like, say, Sidney, Wales, Rome and so on.
Among them, I wish to be in Sidney, Australia.
Actually it has always been my dream to be there,
And I have been striving hard to get myself prepared for the same, and, I would say, this test itself is part of the same. And my plan is to be there in a year or so.
Yes, there are many reasons for my liking towards this place.
I have heard from many sources, like media, Internet and of course from my friends that Sidney is an exotic destination
and it offers something for every one.
For professionals, it is a metropolis of opportunities, for students the city offers many academic facilities, and for travelers, Sidney is a shopping enclave and so goes the list of things that Sidney offers.
And finally, my particular interest towards this place is mainly based on my profession. It is said that Australia is running short of qualified medical professionals.
And I, being one, am very much interested in pursuing a career there. And I am hopeful that I would be able to be there in the immediate future.
That is all about the distant place I would like to be in.

• What you felt after that.
Well, sir, as part of my personal life and professional life,
I have had many opportunities to help others.
Among them, I would like to speak of one which I particularly remember.
It happened last year. And it was like this:
I was on my way to Pondichery on a train.
The journey up to Coimbatore was really interesting
as I happened to meet many people, including students,
professionals and ordinary folk.
When we reached Coimbatore, as usual, a lot of passengers got in and out of the compartment. But no sooner than the train left the station, one of my newly met friends had started panicking and shouting out, that someone had stolen her bag.
She broke down like anything because she had all her belonging in that bag except her certificates.
I felt really sorry for her first, but soon, I tried to console her with encouraging words
and offered her all the help. Within a few minutes she came back to her normal mood.
When we reached Pondichery, I took her to my place, and I made her comfortable.
On the following day, I accompanied her to the hospital where she was going to attend an interview. She attended the same, and I arranged for her return trip to Kerala.
When it comes to the feelings on the incident, frankly speaking,
I didn’t expect anything, She thanked me a lot and the same made really glad.
But after some three four weeks, I received a call from her.
She told me that she got selected in the interview.
That was the best of all phone calls I have ever received.
Now she is working there, and we are thick friends.
That is all about the incident in which I helped someone.

Conservation of wild animals and maintaining of their habitat are claiming a sizeable amount of money every year. But it is argued that wild-life as such does not contribute much in accordance with the size of money it consumes every year.
Essay 011
How do you look at this argument?
I for one am of the opinion that the money nations around the world allocate for the upkeep of wildlife and their habitat is the wisest of allocations in several different counts. The argument that wildlife does not contribute proportionally is premature.
Let me prove the point by citing a small example from our surroundings. The much talked about topic across the world is excessive carbon emission and its myriad ramifications on the Planet. Unfortunately, the only solution is protecting the existing green cover. So, we need forests. Forests are the habitat of wild animals, and they both do a great job in maintaining the ecological balance of the whole Planet. Obviously, no amount will be a bigger amount if spent in this direction.
On the other hand, the argument that animals and their habitat need to produce visible material benefits in terms of the money spent is childish. We need to do ask a few simple enough questions ourselves. Firstly, what all things money is able to generate and what all things wild life and their life are able to generate? Can we re-generate forests as old as thousand years? Can we bring back an endangered species? Do we have enough money to buy out an Amazon jungle or a Silent Valley? I am sure the argument is proved unfounded.
In short, allocation of funds for the upkeep of the wild and their habitat is much worthwhile than anything else. Man has great limitations, but nature does not have any. So it would be wiser if we protect our wild life and their habitats.

There is a new approach to retirement age limit which guarantees certain number of years’ service for all from the date of joining, say 30 years, of course with a minimum and maximum age limit for joining.
• Look at the advantages of service-period based retirement system?
• Do you think its advantages outweigh the advantages of age-based retirement?
Ajaypeesdoc. 9.2.011
When should one retire? It has been a pestering question for ages. Now, there is new approach to it called service-period based retirement, Let me look at its advantages and see whether it can outweigh the merits of age based retirement.
How good is this new system? It needs scrutiny. First of all, it ensures certain number of service for all the employees. Secondly, when there is provision for a fixed number of years’ service, obviously, the nation can make better use of its human resources. Thirdly, it is right to say that all those who get paid employment can make substantial contributions for themselves in particular and for society in general. There is greater scope for young bloods as well.
Age-based retirement, by the way, is of course able to accommodate youngsters every year provided the set age is affordable. Besides, this system makes whole service sector organized in the sense that there is a particular date for every one’s retirement. Say for example, in Kerala 55 years is the age limit. But the retirement date is at the end of the financial year. This is a blessing for many.
But for one who is waiting to fill the gap left by retirees it is a huge problem. But there is a problem that people who join service at the cut of date of joining may get only a few years’ service. This is not so in service-period based system where one is assured of certain years’ service no matter when he or she joins. In this system some people are retiring from service everyday and some are joining too. Waiting for year-end retirement does not happen here as well.
In short, looking at the advantages of conventional retirement practice and the new one, the latter one stays a cut above the former. Anyway, the new approach needs to be tested to be accepted by all.

How good is this new system? It needs scrutiny. First of all, it ensures certain number of service for all the employees. Secondly, when there is provision for a fixed number of years’ service, obviously, the nation can make better use of its human resources. Thirdly, it is right to say that all those who get paid employment can make substantial contributions for themselves in particular and for society in general. There is greater scope for young bloods as well.
Age-based retirement, by the way, is of course able to accommodate youngsters every year provided the set age is affordable. Besides, this system makes whole service sector organized in the sense that there is a particular date for every one’s retirement. Say for example, in Kerala 55 years is the age limit. But the retirement date is at the end of the financial year. This is a blessing for many.
But for one who is waiting to fill the gap left by retirees it is a huge problem. But there is a problem that people who join service at the cut of date of joining may get only a few years’ service. This is not so in service-period based system where one is assured of certain years’ service no matter when he or she joins. In this system some people are retiring from service everyday and some are joining too. Waiting for year-end retirement does not happen here as well.
In short, looking at the advantages of conventional retirement practice and the new one, the latter one stays a cut above the former. Anyway, the new approach needs to be tested to be accepted by all.

It is argued that right to employment is a fundamental right and, if a State fails to engage its educated and productive manpower in some worthwhile income generating mode, it may be deemed as a case of violation of human rights.
Essay 001
• Argue for and against this view.
The argument that right to employment is a fundamental right is well founded because the educated are the ones who keep the nation growing. So their employment is the responsibility of the State. However, opinions differ when we take it as a violation of rights if the state fails in it.
Generally, it is people who constitute a state. It is their well being that makes a state a welfare state. So the State has the responsibility to put all the educated in a productive area of employment so that the latter may be able to fulfill the expectations of the former. On the other hand, if they jobless for long, it is a kind of human resource loss. This amounts to loss of human rights itself because it is people how constitute the state. So the argument is well founded.
On the other hand, failing to meet the employment needs of all the educated cannot be deemed as a violation. This is because, finding employment for all depends more on the attitude of the employable workforce than on the state’s responsibility. Much lies with the educated themselves to find venues out of their own efforts. As every right comes with a duty, every educated person is bound to show the duty vested on him or her. If they both go hand in hand, there is no violation of human rights; rather there is protection of it.
Therefore, it may be concluded that, deeming employment guarantee as a fundamental right is possible only if the educated show the duty to do their share. This may enable the State to safeguard the rights of the educated.

Some people feel that there should be constitutional guarantee for employment for all the educated human resource in line with their qualifications because they are the ones who guarantee the constitutional well being of a nation.
Essay 002
• Do you think employment guarantee is a feasible idea in your place?
• Suggest your own ways to ensure employment for all the educated.
Constitutional employment guarantee, of course, sounds great, but when it comes to its feasibility in my place, I think there are more problems than prospects. However, there are ways to assure employment for all the qualified ones so that they would safeguard the well being of their nation.
To begin with, all the educated have the right to get employed according to their qualifications and expectations. But the fact is that in a country like mine, where population is exploding astronomically, it is virtually impossible to accommodate every one in some employment. Besides, there is a great disparity between the quality of education demanded by the employment providers and the quality supplied by education service providers. Above all, meeting the expectations of all the educated does not sound a feasible idea because State as such is not that powerful.
However, there are several feasible ways to guarantee employment for all. The fact is that it would take longer time than we expect. First way out is to promote industrialization and encourage private participation in nation building. Secondly, there needs to be a system in place to produce manpower according to the availability and nature of jobs that get generated. Thirdly, there needs to be equal representation for both the genders in all spheres of life. This will make great attitudinal shifts in people. This, in turn, will encourage many people appreciate any decently paying job. These are the suggestions I have.
In short, the feasibility of constitutional employment guarantee in my place depends upon several factors. Among them, State is one, and it is just a party, but the major chunk of the job needs to come from educators, prospective employees and the employers.

Oceans are under threat

As this is the case with our Seas, do they not deserve much better treatment than what they get over the years of these so-called-human evolution and the technological and intellectual revolutions thereof. ‘They do’ is the answer.
Ever since the declaration at the Earth Summit in Brazil in 1992 that June 8 every year would be observed as Oceans Day, much water has flown down the bridges to the seas and oceans around the world. Anyway, the declaration had many lofty objectives. The role of Oceans and seas in maintaining the balance of life on earth and therefore the need to keep three fourth of the globe without pollution or with bearable amount of pollution were the ultimate objectives.
Our Ocean and Seas are maintaining the mercury levels of the world at sustainable levels, keeping the clock of rains around the world, sustaining the lives of millions of people who eke out their lives on fish stock and maritime activities, watering the lives and their hundreds of thousands of live stock and farm sectors of millions of people in water scarce countries like the ones in the Middle East and elsewhere.
They are again contributing a huge share for the food security of the world and providing a level playing field for all geographically convenient nations around the world to have their own shares of maritime trade and the revenue thereof and the never exhaustible corals and similar invaluable natural reserves and finally they humbly contribute a sizeable share of revenue through tourism to many economies.
As this is the case with our Seas, do they not deserve much better treatment than what they get over the years of these so-called-human evolution and the technological and intellectual revolutions thereof. ‘They do’ is the answer.
Our Oceans are being constantly threatened by human activity the same way our environment in the land is. Pollutions of all types contribute to this threat. Drainages, industrial effluents and exhausts, international dumping of electronic, toxic radio active substances, frequent oil slicks from container ships and their frequent wrecks, the ever increasing maritime transportation and the exhaust, oil and fuel leakages linked to it, mounting motorized fishing, run off from the shores carrying residues of pesticides and chemicals used in the agriculture and other farming sectors, and finally the ever billowing carbon bubbles getting generated from every other act of human development are some of the ways though which our oceans are getting polluted.
When dwindling fish stock stares at the lives of millions, when water needs of a sizeable number of lives on earth go dry, when clocks of rains around the world happen to run back ward or come to halt leading to poor production and food insecurity, when temperature levels cross human and habit endurance, when glaciers come to add to the woes of the seas, threatening the low lying areas and the habitat there, when our coral reefs go extinct slowly and steadily, and eventually when life on earth itself becomes near impossible, we the humans feign ignorance to all these and go on living our lives to our gluttonous full.
Hypocritically, we find it comfortable not to know that it is going to be the beginning of an end. So, before it is too late, we all need to do our shares to save the Oceans. The same way we keep our people aware of environmental pollutions, we have to have a global campaign against aggressions of all types on the seas. June 8 is the most appropriate day to have a start off.
Though the world order is global, when it comes to an attitudinal change of global dimension, it is the individual initiatives that make the bigger difference than what the institutions and international forums and parlays do. International summits, like the one held in Geneva in 1992 or the one that went on in the Bali Island last year, would come, make declarations and go winding them up. Unless we include ourselves in these declarations, unless all humans start talking and thinking in terms of the rest of the humanity in general, life on earth is going to be much more difficult in the coming days.

5 Key Strategies for a Plastic-Free Life
Focus on food.
You all know that that food packaging is your number one source of plastic waste. Along with sheer volume, there are other reasons that food-related plastic is a good place to focus your efforts. Chemicals from plastic packaging and containers leach into the stuff we eat and drink, and therefore have the biggest potential impact on our immediate health.
In addition to avoiding over-packaged foods at the supermarket, swap out plastic food-storage containers and cooking utensils and replace them with glass, ceramic, wood, or other materials. And never heating up food in any kind of plastic is a pretty easy rule to follow.
• Ban those bags.
If you forget your reusable bags at the grocery store, carry your items out by hand. After doing that a few times, you’ll probably NEVER forget your bags again! If you do find yourself with more items than you can carry, why not use a cart to get them to the car without bags? At the very least, use as few shopping bags as possible (and don’t bag items that already come in bags, like those oranges or potatoes).
Bring the plastic bags to back to the supermarket for recycling (along with any other stray plastic bags that find their way into your hands). Make it easier on yourself to remember your reusable bags for your next trip by stashing them with your shopper’s club cards, or in your car’s trunk or glove compartment.
• Stop using stupid plastic.
Some plastic is just pointless. A straw? Would it kill you to let your lip touch the glass? A plastic bag just to hold the greeting card you bought? Carry it in your hand! Plastic fork? It’ll probably break! Wash your hands and eat with your fingers. Plastic Halloween decorations? Remember, what is natural is right and more beautiful than any other decorations that you get from market.
Reuse, recycle, recreate.
Have a backup plan for the plastic that gets into your life. Find other uses for it if you can, or find out how to recycle it when you’re done. Take plastic bags to the supermarket, know what your curbside program will accept, and know how to recycle your electronics when it’s time to get rid of them. If all else fails, call up a local nonprofit and see if it can be donated. When you’re shopping, buy products packaged in recycled plastic if there isn’t a non-plastic alternative, or even look for used versions of whatever it is you need.
Or, next time you find yourself reaching for something that comes in plastic, think, “Could I make this?” You’d be surprised at how easy it is to whip up hair-care products, body lotions, cleaning products, and pretty much every plastic-packaged food at the store. Or just go without. As Dani, one of the bloggers who followed our challenge on her site News from Nowhere, told us, “I would rather get in the habit of having and using less (of plastics and everything else), than be disgruntled about it when the situation is forced upon me.”
