Music to Milk !
Music to milk !
The chaos ,the music and the hysteria or the soothing bhajan ,the clapping and the body swings ..all comes with the rituals to go near the God.They learned the tricks to take you into trance and feed your mind with suggestions.This is good as far as it provides you the much needed peace and distraction.But,if it goes to the next layer with all sugar coated good intentions hidden with vested motives,then you should alert yourself to come out of this groups doing business.
Some,mastered the art of mind control.Once you get in to their den, coming out of it will cost you a life time of guilt and the brand of being a sinner.
These masters knowingly or unknowingly mastered the art through their predecessors.
Money is the motive.Masters voice is mantra,even if he commits a crime or get into immoral act,it is God's wish or Satanic test.Some wash away the sins and some live with the grace of everloving God.
These people have ready-made answers for everything with technical terminologies to preach and defend.
The genuine and enlightened never expect anything and find it difficult to express their experiences with the mundane words,they remain obscure in isolation or with few seekers.
But,there is a positive side to it , the the sheep's live a disciplnined life catering to the family needs and keep away from bad habits.For these services payments in kind or cash is always paid.
Only concern is that the leader should be well qualified to do this work.But the hammer in the hands of a crook can spoil the nail and the nails and the majority is so convinced or blinded with their faith that they will not even feel the pain ....numbed and zombied-out.
Now a new breed of these people getting into education,to create brainy kids . Courses to increase the brain power,memory power,increase intelligence and intuition etc.Beware of them,they want to milk your money.

Speaking Trees
** Tree-Puraana ** 🌲🌳🌴🎄
*Speaking Trees.*
Trees connect themselves through an internet of fungus on their roots.They communicate about the weather,insect attacks,water levels etc.to other trees so that they save and protect themselves .The shared knowledge gave them an edge to survive on this earth.
*Propagation & attention grabbing*
Trees , stand still ,but send their seeds to faraway places through their packaging of seeds with sweet meats,wings,cotton,etc.They Protect their immature fruites with green colour to avoid getting plucked.Colour changes with ripening to grab attention of animals.
*Rain Harvesting*
Trees have branches pointing upwards to gather water on their roots.Conical trees to thaw the snow.
*Security secretion*
Trees have resin secretion to protect their trunks against insect attacks and use it as traps.Amber is the solidified resin .
*Breaking News*
Tree roots break open rocks ,which causes ground water to Ooze out ,creating springs.Hence holy trees to be protected near water springs.
*Support system*
Tree themselves are an eco system with bird nests,orchids,fungus,insects laying eggs, caterpillar feeding, shelter etc.
*Disaster Management*
Different shapes of Trunk bases of native trees can indicate the severity of seismic activity in the past of that terrain.
*Enlightenment*
Hence trees are revered & worshipped in our culture.

Importance of undivided share in Indian flat system
Sulekha.com
Kamini Subbiah
While buying an apartment, Indian home buyers concentrate on flat area but clueless about the actual land ownership - Undivided share of land. The property appreciation depends on the land value (UDS) and not the concrete building. It is important to understand and ensure the UDS of the individual flat before buying it.
In India, a majority of home buyers prefer living in apartments as it provides all the contemporary amenities, maintenance, security etc., along with quality housing. Even affluent senior citizens sell their bungalows and move to posh retirement apartments for the comfort and security it offers. Before buying, home buyers usually ensure the builder profile, project layouts, location and connectivity but often overlook the undivided share offered.
While buying an apartment in a multistory residential complex, we carefully analyses the carpet area, built up area and super built up area but the ownership doesn’t depend on the flat area but the undivided land share. In a flat system, it is necessary to check the undivided share (UDS) which will determine the value of the property.
What is UDS?
An Undivided share is a share of land allotted to the flat buyer while purchasing a property and it is registered in the name of the owner. When a home buyer purchases an apartment, he/she is entitled to 2 things: the constructed building and the proportionate share of land, where the whole building is constructed. The price appreciation of the property is the actual appreciation of the land and not the building, so the property price depends on the undivided share.

The price appreciation of the property is the actual appreciation of the land and not the building, so the property price depends on the undivided share.
Why is it important?
Have you ever thought what will happen to your apartment in case of natural disaster like an earthquake, building collapse or if government wants to acquire the property for a public project? Even if the apartment society wants to redevelop the property after decades, the building will be demolished and only the undivided share of land maters. It is crucial to understand your undivided share in a multi-storey residential project.

Even if the apartment society wants to redevelop the property after decades, the building will be demolished and only the undivided share of land maters. It is crucial to understand your undivided share in a multi-storey residential project.
The sum of all the undivided shares must be equal to the size of the land in which the apartments are constructed. The more UDS one buys, the better value for money in future. In case of co-operative societies, the UDs will be in the name of the society as the flat owners are the share holders of the society. Otherwise, the flat owners should check their share of UDS in the sales agreement.
How to calculate UDS?
The UDS is based on the percentage of the super built up area of the apartment to the total super built-up area of all the flats. For instance, if 4 equally sized apartments of 1000 sq ft were built on one ground of land which measures 2400 sq ft, the UDS will be calculated as below:
UDS = Super built-up area of individual flat / Sum of all flats’ built-up area X Total land area
UDS = 1000 X 2400 / 4000
UDS of individual flat = 800 sq ft.
The UDS is based on the percentage of the super built up area of the apartment to the total super built-up area of all the flats. For instance, if 4 equally sized apartments of 1000 sq ft were built on one ground of land which measures 2400 sq ft, the UDS will be calculated as below:
UDS = Super built-up area of individual flat / Sum of all flats’ built-up area X Total land area
UDS = 1000 X 2400 / 4000
UDS of individual flat = 800 sq ft.
Check before Registration
To avoid fraudulent deals and to be cautious, one can check the undivided share mentioned in the agreement before registration. Some builders will be reluctant to show the agreement copy; instead they share some other agreement copy during site visits. It is important to know your undivided share of land before hand and verify the same with the actual sales agreement before registration. You can go an hour before and confirm the details, if required get legal help from advocates. This way, home buyers can be sure of receiving their entitled UDS while purchasing their dream home.

supra-Einsteinian 12-year-old : NEHA RAMU
Neha Ramu loves watching Akshay Kumar movies over the weekends, like many 12-year-olds. She is a devoted fan of Harry Potter books, is addicted to Nintendo Wii, loves to swim—again like many girls her age. So what? Well, Neha has an IQ higher than Albert Einstein. She also beats iconic physicist Stephen Hawking by a slender margin. Neha scored an incredible 162 on a Mensa IQ test, the highest score possible for her age. Einstein, Hawkins and Bill Gates are thought to have IQs of 160. “IQ is nothing unless I put it to right use. They have achieved much more than I can even dream of,” says Neha, matter-of-factly. She says she took the high-IQ Mensa club test only out of curiosity. “After the test, I wasn’t even expecting to become a member, forget about the high score, as I found the test extremely hard.”
The Ramus, both opthalmogists, came to the UK from Bangalore five years ago. “We have always given her free rein, and we believe this has contributed to her immense success today. We encourage her to take her own decisions, but are there to support and advise her,” says her justly proud mother Jayashree. A student of Tiffin’s Girls School, Kingston-upon-Thames, Neha has already taken her SAT, usually taken by students at 17 or 18 for university admissions. Her immediate aim, though, is to join the Army Cadets in Kingston.
But this new tag of child prodigy comes with its own set of pressures. “All of a sudden, people are expecting more out of me. But with the support of my parents, I have learnt to carry on the way I was doing and not get carried away,” she says. Her parents too are aware of the dangers of sudden fame and exposure in childhood, so they are even more careful not to push their daughter towards higher and tougher goals. “There is definitely more expectation from her now. We try to keep her focused on her daily curriculum and just consider this yet another test she has taken up.”
For now, the family is just soaking in all the attention they are getting both in the UK and in India. How are they going to celebrate? “Well, she wasn’t expecting a celebration, but we have decided to reward her by doing something we know will give her immense happiness. We are going to India during Easter vacation, as most of our family and friends are there, and they are planning to throw a big party once we arrive.”

Jayashree says Neha was a mischievous child “with a talent for throwing tantrums” and it’s “almost magical” how she has changed after joining her present school. Right now, Neha is a star among her friends. “Actually, I hadn’t told them. When they found out, they were extremely happy because one among them is so gifted. Though they are not treating me any different, they think IQ and academic success are comparable, which is not true.” She has always been an exceptional student, though, scoring a perfect 280/280 when she took an entrance exam for her school. Her favourite subjects are maths and chemistry. “When I did the summer programme last year on ‘Sensation and Perception’, I realised how much I love learning about the nervous system.” She says wants to take up neurosciences and become a neurologist.
But this new tag of child prodigy comes with its own set of pressures. “All of a sudden, people are expecting more out of me. But with the support of my parents, I have learnt to carry on the way I was doing and not get carried away,” she says. Her parents too are aware of the dangers of sudden fame and exposure in childhood, so they are even more careful not to push their daughter towards higher and tougher goals. “There is definitely more expectation from her now.

So, Bangalore, get ready to welcome Neha, IQ 162.

Training the teacher
The failure of the vast majority of candidates in the Central Teacher Eligibility Test is convincing proof that the system of teacher education is in urgent need of repair. In this case, trainees with a B. Ed degree could not pass the examination designed to test their fitness for appointment as teachers in Central government schools, and some Central Board of Secondary Education institutions. The overall system of teacher training in the country has been found wanting for decades and many recommendations have been made by expert panels for improvements. A good critique of what ails the various B. Ed programmes, as well as diplomas in education is to be found in the National Curriculum Framework for Teacher Education. Demand for greater numbers of teachers has led to massive quantitative expansion of the number of institutions and courses at various levels in recent years, but without the necessary emphasis on infrastructure, faculty qualification and learning resources. A key point the Framework makes is that state provisioning of elementary education is marked by an attitude of resignation towards the existing system of pre-service and in-service training, which leaves little inspiration for the practitioners to improve.
The gamut of issues surrounding teacher education needs a fresh look. The imperative to raise the entry-level qualification for training of teachers from Plus Two, and make it a well-rounded degree programme has been underscored by the NCFTE. It would be worthwhile to invest in a four-year degree programme after senior secondary, or a two-year programme after acquiring a Bachelor’s degree. The J.S. Verma Commission appointed by the Supreme Court has also highlighted the importance of making teacher education a part of the higher education system to introduce the necessary rigour and exposure to various integral disciplines. It is the poor preparation in both the disciplinary and pedagogical domains that produces trainees who are found wanting. Making it compulsory to have a dedicated school attached to a pre-service teacher education institution, as the Verma panel suggests, could be one way to ensure that graduates acquire the necessary competence and skills. Such a system would naturally be far superior to distance learning courses. The poor performance of teacher-trainees in recruitment examinations is a clear indicator of the failed assembly-line system of training that exists today. It is also important to note that 90 per cent of the pre-service teacher education courses are in the non-government sector and the state needs to play a more active role in improving institutional capacity especially in the East and Northeast.-THE HINDU EDITORIAL JAN17 2013

LEARNING TO USE SPREAD SHEETS(EXCEL)
WHY I AM LEARNING TO USE MS EXCEL?
Learning something new everyweek keeps you busy and Whenever i saw excel spreadsheets i always use to get confused the way it looked with lots of icons and symbols.The word 'formula' always brought school memories.The way maths was taught in schools...i hate maths! the way it was taught.Instead i developed my own way of learning maths.I tried to learn the basic idea behind the calculations instead of using formulas blindly.Here i posted a screen shot of my latest creation ,the first sheet is used as HOME to other sheets.Now i can organise all my spread sheets in one place and use it when i need easily without searching for it.The mantra to learn:Google! Google!! Google!!! to learn anything new.

TABLET PC FOR STUDENTS
Students of India have got a reason to celebrate as the much awaited 'Sakshat Tablet' has been successfully launched in India on Wednesday. The tablet is named 'Akash' and it has been jointly developed by India in co-operation with Datawind and it can be easily obtained for $60 (~Rs. 3000) in India.
Akash tablet has been jointly developed by India along with Britain based company Data Wind. The tablet will run Google Android 2.2 (Froyo) and features 7"LCD screen that operates at 800x480 resolution. The tab has 256 MB RAM and 32GB expandable memory slot along with two USB ports. The Akash tablet also comes with a 12 month of replacement warranty.
The battery used in the tablet lasts for only three hours which has not been liked by the tab users but considering its low price it will definitely be applauded in the circle of students. The students can download the relevant study materials from the net and will get rid from the burden of carrying the heavy books every time in the bags. Furthermore, 1000 institutes are being connected with Wi-Fi networks so that students can avail the services of internet 24x7. Akash also possesses Multimedia player which will help the students to relax their minds after hectic classes.
The device is set to be sold at a government-subsidized rate of Rs, 1,400 to 100,000 college students. For general buyers the tablet will be available at Rs, 3000. To market the initiative, Datawind is planning to sell the tab in partnership with telecos with Rs 99 per- month internet services.

Earthquake of 2006 and After
The deadly Valentine’s Day earthquake of 14th February, 2006, the second big earthquake faced by this magnificent complex more than a century after the 1897 one that ripped through Gangtok’s bowels, badly damaged the Raj Bhavan and rendered it structurally unstable. Fortunately, the then Governor was in his winter camp at Rangpo. A camp Raj Bhavan was organized at the Circuit House. In December, 2007 the camp shifted to the old Raj Bhavan Annexe which was renovated. A new Raj Bhavan is being built in the Raj Bhavan complex. Efforts are on to conserve the heritage building- a priceless treasure of Sikkim under the guidance of present Governor Shri B.P. Singh.
