IMPACT OF CHINA

IMPACT OF CHINA

China has always been compared to India in terms of population and technological advancements. China undoubtedly has a humongous software market, but is definitely not a threat. India has its own unique power and intelligence. Indian IT companies have captured Asia and Japan as well. India is becoming one of the world’s largest internet and mobile user’s country. India’s mobile market is growing by leaps and bounds. Most countries prefer employees from India rather than China because of communication barrier. English is  Spoken by almost all IT industries in India. India has a large consumer and industrial market, all thirsting for products, with great brands and distribution  networks. For There is no doubt that India may take many years to have a market like China. China has a huge population. Moreover people there are advancing each passing day. China launches new mobiles, technologies, automobiles almost everyday. China’s automobile industry is much bigger than India’s. it can therefore serve quality products at lower cost. China has a string support from the government. Indian IT industries have negligible support. China launches many products like gadgets etc everyday. Because of this they can sell them at a cheaper rate. China’s market cannot be a thread untie India considers and works on each opportunity that comes its way. It should efficiently make use all possible resources and infrastructure to welcome foreign investment and manpower hiring.

GROUP DISCUTTION

GROUP DISCUTTION

Following are some of the things which you must take care off to succeed in the GD. Read voraciously Make a habit of reading voraciously on every subject. This will keep you ready for any topic for a discussion in GD Your knowledge is your most important weapon in a discussion. Initiate the discussion Most of us have a misconception that initiating the discussion would give you an advantage over others. It does give you an advantage but only if you know the subject well and have something relevant to start the discussion otherwise it is a disadvantage. For e.g. When a group was given a subject “Is Capital punishment right?” some members of the group heard the word punishment and jumped at starting the discussion with out understanding the meaning of Capital Punishment. The evaluators kept hearing for 2 minutes after which they intervened and asked the group if they knew the meaning of Capital Punishment. Not to say, the members who initiated were quite looking at each other’s faces. That is when a quite member of the group got up and explained the meaning of the topic. From this incidence, you can easily tell who must have succeeded in the GD, the ones who initiated the discussion or the one who explained the topic and gave it a right direction. They say, “Speaking just for the sake of speaking is noise”. So, don’t create noise in the GD rather make some useful and resourceful contributions to get noticed in the discussion. Speak politely and pleasantly As you speak make sure that you do not speak at the top of your voice. You should be audible and clear. Remember that you are participating in a discussion which is different from a speech given out by the leaders in their rallies. Even if you disagree with the other’s point of view, disagree politely. Use phrases like, I would like to disagree a bit here, I am sorry but I think I have a slightly different point of view here. Be précised Abstain from using irrelevant information and data from your talks during a GD Speak precisely so that others also get a chance to put across their point of view. Acquire and apply knowledge Stay attentive to the ideas put forward by other group members and keep writing the important points discussed during the GD As you get a chance to speak, put forward your views about the topic. You can also agree or disagree with other’s ideas, based on your knowledge about the subject. Agree with the right Don’t take a stand on either extreme when the discussion begins. It might happen that you get convinced by other’s argument and want to change your stand. Respect other’s opinion as well and agree with what is right, even if you initially had a different opinion. Speak confidently Maintain your confidence as you speak. Establish eye contact with other members of the group and do not let your voice tremble. Moderate Try to moderate the discussion if any arguments arise. This is necessary to ensure that the group doesn’t wander from the goal of the GD Use positive body language Your body language should not demonstrate dominance or low self confidence. Show your interest in the discussion through your gestures like bending forward a bit, nodding your head. Be a team player Last but not the least, be a team player as this is a group activity. Be comfortable with the group members and vice versa.

POLITICS AND ECONOMICS GO TOGETHER

POLITICS AND ECONOMICS GO TOGETHER Economics means are based on production and exchange whereas the political means are based on plunder. When getting richer, one either does not use violence or does make use of it. There is no other way. So, should politics and economics go hand in hand? For- - Various western political thinkers have linked political ideology to an economic arrangement. - Marx’s Capital predicts a classless society within an economic paradigm. - Left wing-Right wing political divisions predominantly owe itself to differences in economic ideology. - Leftist translates into welfare economics and the liberal translates into free market economics. - A state is an economic structure and the polity takes decisions to change or alter various micro economic units which have a direct impact on the functioning of the state. - Politicians are interested in conducting as many policies as possible but with justification which can only be done by the help of economics. Against- - Economic compulsions will always take preponderance over political ambitions. - Economic charts out the working of the state. - Politics is a mere selfish race for power and authority for man. - There are always flaws in the coordination and exchange of information between politics and economics. - Politics put pressure on economics to provide with more justification in favor of the policies. - Economics is not a powerful educating tool in terms of education of the people having political background. Economics can exist and function without ‘politics’. The points kept by the economist are rarely heard as the politicians do only those things that allows them to make more profit. Economists should start educating those who would rather care to listen to them and not turn a deaf ear towards them.

ABOUT MEDIA

MEDIA IS AT PEAK OR UNDERGROUND We all know it for a fact that media is know for its freedom of speech. In a democratic country like India,  media plays a very important role. It broadcasts news nearly 24/7 and 365 days a year. It helps people realize their duties. It helps people get an update of each and every event happening around the world. It introduces new job opportunities in fields like journalism, advertising etc. It helps the country fight against issues like terrorism. It helps people realize the economic status of the counties all over the globe. It helps citizens realize how people in the army lay their lives to save ours! Some people on the other hand feel media has lost its respect. Most of the times media unnecessarily creates a hype of everything. The lives of celebrities are often disclosed in an unethical manner. Most of the times, it wastes its time in silly matters like domestic issues rather than digging  into the cause behind them. Most of the times their allegations are not true. This puts lives of many people and their career at stake. The verbiage used by media at times is very offensive. This is done to grasp the audience’s attention. It’s true that we can’t live without media. Most of us switch to news the first channel we surf once the television is on. Media helps different countries to “talk” to each other. As long as the allegations are not false and the news don’t hurt  any sentiments of an individual or community, we all can accept media with open hands.

MOBILE IMPACT

THE MOBILE IS FOR OR AGAINST For - The invention of mobile phones has made life easier. Now we can connect with people in few seconds who are living in other parts of world. - Mobile phones have proved to be a boon for the success of every business as information passes very quickly through this medium. - We can get in touch with our relatives, friends and closed ones whenever we want without waiting for many days which were used to be the situation in the ancient times. - Everyone is available to each other 24*7. - All types of information related to any area are available in few minutes. - Parents feel less stressed as they are connected to their all the time. Against - Mobile phones are instrument of health hazard as the electro magnate waves which are transmitted through it cause harm to the body. - Due to the unlimited connectivity mobile phones has made life miserable for the people who are over using it. - We don’t have time for ourselves as all the time we are busy over due to one reason or the other reason. - Today many accidents are caused due to use of mobile phones while driving. - It is deterring the office atmosphere as most of the people are spending their time over phone instead of working. - Mobile phones have ruined the social life of people as they communicate with their friends and relatives over phone instead of meeting them personally. - The radiation generated by the towers of mobile phones has disturbed the balance of the environment. More and more birds everyday die everyday due to the effect of this radiation. - Children having an access to mobile spend more time in talking with friends rather than on studies and with their family. Mobile phone has its own advantages and disadvantages. With the help of it we can get connected to any part of the world. On the other hand it has many health hazards attached to it. Somewhere our life has become dependant on it. We have become its slave. Hence, it can be concluded that it is a great invention but its usage should be controlled.

SATELLITE

SATELLITE COMMUNICATION

satellite communication, in telecommunications, the use of artificial satellites to provide communication links between various points on Earth. Satellite communications play a vital role in the global telecommunications system. Approximately 2,000 artificial satellites orbiting Earth relay analog and digital signals carrying voice, video, and data to and from one or many locations worldwide.

Satellite communication has two main components: the ground segment, which consists of fixed or mobile transmission, reception, and ancillary equipment, and the space segment, which primarily is the satellite itself. A typical satellite link involves the transmission or up linking of a signal from an Earth station to a satellite. The satellite then receives and amplifies the signal and re transmits it back to Earth, where it is received and re amplified by Earth stations and terminals. Satellite receivers on the ground include direct-to-home (DTH) satellite equipment, mobile reception equipment in aircraft, satellite telephones, and handheld devices.

MORE ABOUT PARROT......

For decades the night parrot, or night parakeet (Geopsittacus occidentalis), of Australia was thought to be extinct, until a dead one was found in 1990. It feeds at night on spinifex grass seeds and dozes under a tussock by day. Its nest is a twig platform in a bush and is entered by way of a tunnel. Equally unusual is the ground parrot, or ground parakeet (Pezoporus wallicus). Rare local populations exist in the wastelands of coastal southern Australia and western Tasmania. It runs in the grass, flushes like a quail, and makes a sudden deceptive pitch, and it was formerly hunted with dogs. It eats seeds and insects; its nest is a leaf-lined depression under a bush.

The lories (with short tails) and lorikeets (with longer, pointed tails) make up the Psittacidae subfamilyLoriinae. The 53 species in 12 genera are found in Australia, New Guinea, and some Pacific islands. All have a slender, wavy-edged beak and a brush-tipped tongue for extracting nectar from flowers and juices from fruits.

The pygmy parrots of the subfamily Micropsittinae all belong to the genus Micropsitta. The six species are endemic to New Guinea and nearby islands. These are the smallest members of the family. They live in forests, where they eat insects and fungi.

The subfamily Nestorinae is found only in New Zealand. The kea (Nestor notabilis) occasionally tears into sheep carcasses (rarely, weakened sheep) to get at the fat around the kidneys. The kaka, N. meridionalis, a gentler forest bird, is often kept as a pet. The owl parrot, or kakapo (Strigops habroptilus), also lives only in New Zealand. It is the sole member of the subfamily Strigopinae. Rare and once thought extinct, it survives as a scant population on Stewart Island.

The cockatoo family (Cacatuidae) numbers 21 species from Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. The group includes the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), a smaller bird. All are crested and have heavy beaks for cracking nuts and seeds. The so-called sea parrot is unrelated to the psittaciforms (see puffin).

PARROT

Parrot, term applied to a large group of gaudy, raucous birds of the family Psittacidae. Parrot also is used in reference to any member of a larger bird group, order Psittaciformes, which includes cockatoos (family Cacatuidae) as well. Parrots have been kept as cage birds since ancient times, and they have always been popular because they are amusing, intelligent, and often affectionate. Several are astonishingly imitative of many sounds, including human speech..

The family Psittacidae numbers 333 species. The subfamily Psittacinae, the “true” parrots, is by far the largest subfamily, with members found in warm regions worldwide. These birds have a blunt tongue and eat seeds, buds, and some fruits and insects. Many members of the subfamily are known simply as parrots, but various subgroups have more specific names such as macaw, parakeet, conure, and lovebird.

The African gray parrot (Psittacus erithacus) is unsurpassed as a talker; the male can precisely echo human speech. Captive birds are alert and, compared with other parrots, relatively good-tempered. Some are said to have lived 80 years. The bird is about 33 cm (13 inches) long and is light gray except for its squared, red tail and bare, whitish face; the sexes look alike. Gray parrots are common in the rainforest, where they eat fruits and seeds; they damage crops but are important propagators of the oil palm.

Among other proficient mimics are the Amazon parrots (Amazona). The 31 species of Amazons are chunky birds, mostly 25 to 40 cm (10 to 16 inches) long, with slightly erectile crown feathers and a rather short, squared tail. Their predominantly green plumage is marked with other bright colours, chiefly on the upper head; the sexes look alike. Amazon parrots live in tropical forests of the West Indies and Mexico to northernSouth America. They are difficult to breed and may be aggressive as well as squawky. Common in aviaries is the blue-fronted Amazon (A. aestiva) of Brazil; it has a blue forehead, a yellow or blue crown, a yellow face, and red shoulders. The yellow-crowned parrot (A. ochrocephala) of Mexico, Central America, and fromEcuador to Brazil has some yellow on the head and neck, a red wing patch, and a yellow tail tip.

The monk, or green, parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) is one of the hardiest parrot species. It is native to South America, but some have escaped from captivity in the United States and now nest in several states. Its large stick nest is unique among psittaciforms. Other remarkable parrots of this subfamily include thehanging parrots (Loriculus), which sleep upside-down like bats. Caiques (Pionites) are small, short-tailed South American birds similar to conures in build and habits

10 Need-to-Know Things About the Sun:

1. The sun is a star. A star does not have a solid surface, but is a ball of gas (92.1 percent hydrogen (H₂) and 7.8 percent helium (He)) held together by its own gravity.
2. The sun is the center of our solar system and makes up 99.8% of the mass of the entire solar system.
3. If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth would be about the size of a nickel.
4. Since the sun is not a solid body, different parts of the sun rotate at different rates. At the equator, the sun spins once about every 25 days, but at its poles the sun rotates once on its axis every 36 Earth days.
5. The solar atmosphere (a thin layer of gases) is where we see features such as sunspots and solar flares on the sun.
6. The sun is orbited by eight planets, at least five dwarf planets, tens of thousands of asteroids, and hundreds of thousands to three trillion comets and icy bodies.
7. The sun does not have any rings.
8. Spacecraft are constantly increasing our understanding of the sun -- from Genesis (which collected samples of the solar wind and returned the particles to Earth) to SOHO, STEREO, THEMIS, and many more, which are examining the sun's features, its interior and how it interacts with our planet. .
9. Without the sun's intense energy there would be no life on Earth.
10. The temperature at the sun's core is about 15 million degrees Celsius (27 million degrees Fahrenheit).

WHAT IS RADIO ACTIVITY

Radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay or radioactivity, is the process by which a nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting particles of ionizing radiation. A material that spontaneously emits this kind of radiation—which includes the emission of energetic alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays—is considered radioactive.

Radioactive decay is a stochastic (i.e., random) process at the level of single atoms, in that, according to quantum theory, it is impossible to predict when a particular atom will decay.^[1] However, the chance that a given atom will decay is constant over time. For a large number of atoms, the decay rate for the collection is computable from the measured decay constants of the nuclides (or equivalently from the half-lifes).

There are many different types of radioactive decay (see table below). A decay, or loss of energy, results when an atom with one type of nucleus, called the parent radionuclide (or parent radioisotope^{[note 1]}), transforms to an atom with a nucleus in a different state, or to a different nucleus containing different numbers of protons and neutrons. Either of these products is named the daughte rnuclide. In some decays the parent and daughter are different chemical elements, and thus the decay process results in nuclear transmutation (creation of an atom of a different element).

The first decay processes to be discovered were alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay. Alpha decay occurs when the nucleus ejects an alpha particle (helium nucleus). This is the most common process of emitting nucleons, but in rarer types of decays, nuclei can eject protons, or specific nuclei of other elements (in the process called cluster decay). Beta decay occurs when the nucleus emits an electron or positron and a type of neutrino , in a process that changes a proton to a neutron or the other way around. The nucleus may capture an orbiting electron, converting a proton into a neutron (electron capture). All of these processes result in nuclear transmutation.

By contrast, there exist radioactive decay processes that do not result in transmutation. The energy of an excited nucleus may be emitted as a gamma ray in gamma decay, or used to eject an orbital electron by interaction with the excited nucleus, in a process called internal conversion. Highly excited neutron-rich radioisotopes (formed as the product of other types of decay) occasionally lose energy by emitting neutrons, and this results in a change in an element from one isotope to another. Another type of radioactive decay results in products which are not defined, but appear in a range of "pieces" of the original nucleus. This decay is called spontaneous fission. This decay happens when a large unstable nucleus spontaneously splits into two (and occasionally three) smaller daughter nuclei, and generally immediately emits gamma rays, neutrons, or other particles as a consequence.

For a summary table showing the number of stable nuclides and of radioactive nuclides in each category, seeradionu clide. There exist 34 mildly radioactive elements on Earth that are primordial nuclides, still decaying from the formation of the solar system (well known examples are uranium and thorium). Another 50 or so radionuclides can be detected in decay chains resulting from the primordial nuclides (such as radium and radon), and also new cosmogenic processes (for example carbon-14). Radion uclides can also be produced artificially e.g. using particle accelerators or nuclear reactors, with about 650 of these characterized with half-lives over an hour, and several thousand more characterized with even shorter half lives. See list of nuclides for a list by half life.

WHAT IS SCIENCE ??

DEFINATION:

                                The word science comes from the Latin "scientia," meaning knowledge.How do we define science? According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the definition of science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws, esp. as obtained and tested through scientific method [and] concerned with the physical world."

What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena.

The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it.

DIPLOMATIC IDEAS

TI just want the ability to make a contract/treaty and document it. Not necessarily to share publicly, but to have a sense of *official* agreement. And to organize and help management. I think it would add atmosphere to do something like that in a diplomatic window. (Again, I am not suggesting to enforce agreements......................

Note pad on your computer. I really hope you guys allow "legitimate" scamming as it is done in EVE online. For example if someone says I will give you 1000 money not to attack me and then they are attacked anyone well they got scammed out of 1000 money. I think these types of transactions make the universe a living entity. Personally I don't scam people but for those who want to be pirates and such it is a big part of the game.

Yeah there shouldn't be any public records. Screenshots and excel/notepad are your best source for keeping track of stuff like this. One thing that would be cool though is an API for us programmers to build 3rd party scripts where people can track their assets from all owned planets or create a piece of software where people can pull their transaction records. This would allow a 3rd party to handle making it possible to sort records, filter records, and share their records with who they choose

Re: My ideas for other diplomatic options

If A gives res to B and B gives it to C (you), you will have a report that you got resources from B. We are already doing that.

We won't be showing who took your stuff if you come under attack. Otherwise people just exploit that all the time. If someone attacks you and steals your stuff, they will have to have survivors, have a surviving information mechanic alive to get that information and have to actively get that information with that unit. If a pirate wipes you out, you never attempt to gather info or you fail at gathering info, then you know nothing.
