THE EAGLE LIVED AND DIED A CHICKEN

A man found an eagle’s egg and put it in a nest of a barnyard hen. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them.

All his life the eagle did what the barnyard chicks did, thinking he was a barnyard chicken. He scratched the earth for worms and insects. He clucked and cackled. And he would thrash his wings and fly a few feet into the air.

Years passed and the eagle grew very old. One day he saw a magnificent bird above him in the cloudless sky. It glided in graceful majesty among the powerful wind currents, with scarcely a beat of its strong golden wings.

The old eagle looked up in awe. “Who’s that?” he asked.

“That’s the eagle, the king of the birds,” said his neighbor. “He belongs to the sky. We belong to the earth—we’re chickens.” So the eagle lived and died a chicken, for that’s what he thought he was.

European Organization for Nuclear Research and Indian Participation

The European Organization for Nuclear Research is a research organization operating world's largest particle physics laboratory. The organisation was established in 1954 with 20 European member states. Israel is the first and the only non-European country granted full membership. The Organisation has 7 Associate Members and 5 countries have observer status.

The Research Organisation employs around 4000 part and full time employees, hosts around 10000 visiting scientists and engineers from around 600 universities and research facilities.

The Research Organisation functions to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research – as a result, numerous experiments have been constructed following international collaborations.

Soon after the laboratory's establishment, its work went beyond the study of the atomic nucleus into higher-energy physics, which is concerned mainly with the study of interactions between particles. Therefore the laboratory is commonly referred to as the European Laboratory for particle physics.

The 1984 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer for the developments that led to the discoveries of the W and Z bosons. The 1992 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to its staff researcher Georges Charpak "for his invention and development of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber."

The Research Organisation operates a network of six accelerators and a decelerator. Each machine in the chain increases the energy of particle beams before delivering them to experiments or to the next more powerful accelerator.

In July 2012, its scientists announced the discovery of a new sub-atomic particle that could be the much sought after Higgs boson believed to be essential for formation of the Universe.

In India, Nuclear Power is the fourth-largest source of electricity and as of 2012 we had 20 nuclear reactors in operation and 7 under construction with an installed capacity of 4780 MW and 6100 MW in pipeline, but:

The sadden part of the story is India being “Non-NPT Nuclear Power”, in this Research Organisation since 2002, we are just in the category of observers only and our immediate counterpart's name has been unanimously approved by the council for the process of achieving associate membership, at a meeting on September 17, 2013, which could potentially lead to Pakistan’s associate membership by the end of 2014.

The research opportunities and the scholarships to the nuclear scientists and research students are being offered depending upon the status of the member countries and our visiting scientists and engineers are not getting the opportunities ……. but who cares~~~~~~

A BIG BATTLE IS GOING ON ~~~

AAP is fighting a battle.

A battle against corruption, a battle against police raj, a battle against system's faults and a battle against all the political parties among whom (they all of a sudden) came and stood up.

What was Som Nath Bharti's (see the other side of the story and check what the local people are saying) interest in going with the residents at midnight? He could have compromised with the system and could have a good sleep.

Now a section of the media trying to constantly defame their good work – there are serious doubt about media's agenda. Will you allow to run drug peddling, prostitution racket in your area?

A big battle is going on between the big institution and common people. All the means are being used to eliminate AAP!!!

This is a big “Uthal Puthal” please be flexible in your thinking and see both sides.

Do we think he doesn't know this ~~~

Social Media is flooded by the postings regarding AAP - AK - criticizing, suggesting and supporting. People even mocked him, accused him, made baseless allegation but AK remained humble. We are suggesting him continuously even when he says “I ‘ll not contest LS election” but actually problem with us normal minded people is that we can't even think at the level AK is thinking...

Do we think he doesn't know all this... he know it very well... but what we people are missing is... he knows how to market things and how to involve people... this one comment of his.. “I ‘ll not contest LS election” took back all the attention to him...he again is in the focus... to be clear, I am not saying he needs all the attention for anything bad... but yeah to involve people.. Either talking in favor or against... but his point is.. People are talking about him and AAP... And more the people talk (doesn’t matter negative or positive) more they will come to know about AAP.... more people know about AAP more opinions will be formed.. New people are coming in favor, who did not even know AAP and AK... a very simple lesson of marketing strategy...

So keep on posting things ... bad or good whatever.... continue the blame game.... its solving the purpose for which all this is being done~~~

The Rising of an Aam Aadmi

This is not about forming a political party, winning the elections or forming the government thereafter but about the aam aadmi who along with a Chief Minister took the oath “ Na Rishbat Loonga Na Rishbat Doonga”

The masses there bearing the Aam Aadmi caps were not taken paying or providing free transport but to hear an Aam Aadmi, who was sworn in the Chief Minister on the day.

The Chief Minister left the venue along with his team but the cadre was so disciplined calm and organized leaving the place.

No political activity of AAP in my city yet but in my office a courier boy delivering the post was bearing an Aam Aadmi cap, calm and confident. On asking the fate of the minority government at Delhi, he smiled “Sir, the fate we won’t know but we know we’ll deliver what so ever the time we 'll”. He further asked my cell number for the regular updates.

Neither the oath taking nor the government formation but having such a cadre coming out at their own and with a new concept of ‘Swaraj’ saying we are here not to rule, just support us so that we may serve the Aam Aadmi, serve the masses.

This is the rising of an Aam Aadmi and thereafter the Aam Aadmi Party~~~

The neighborhood of a dry state

This is not about the Mahatma’s dry state (Gujarat) where the liquor is widely smuggled and consumed in spite of the prohibitions and the state is the only loser as it does not get a single pie as revenue which may be used for health, education and for the infrastructural developments.

Gujarat shares its borders with many states and there is also a tiny little area called Daman (we are talking about) sandwiched between Maharashtra, Gujarat and the Arabian Sea. Daman is blessed with a rich and varied historical heritage and is an ideal place for tourists because of its people, affable climate, casuarinas wind breaks, tranquil seashores, heavenly beaches and moreover thanks to the excise policies of the state for easy and affordable availability of liquor as a bonus to make it a tourist heaven.

But the dry status of the neighboring state attracts the people of the surrounding areas to Daman at the weekends, who visit the place for fun, drinking at beaches and creating nuisance at the places. During the last visit I observed the people start coming early mornings and start their days with Whiskeys, Wine and beer. The similar situation remains at the seashores and beaches where everybody (including the women entrepreneurs of the commodities) is after you to provide the same.

It is the growth of the tourism, employment generation and the revenue for the state on the cost of the loss to the neighboring state or the retardation of the values and the rich heritage there on the beaches, the religious places, the invigorating combine silver talcum sands, stretches of lazy palms and the ancient monuments???

If you fail to plan you plan to fail

Back to the school days, we all were taught to outline first before written your papers and prepare like you are writing in finals. But we used to hate such practices and advices then.

The similar things are there when we are planning for our vacations or the assignments for our careers, its growth, businesses and the other related ones. This is not only to get the things done smoothly and to spare the time spent upon but it simply mean if you won’t plan out, it is the recipe for failing.

So going ahead and planning for success distinguish among your ultimate goal and the targets first. The target is a flexible term used which can be more than one steps achieving your ultimate goal. The targets may change over time and can be a bit ambitious but reasonable but if you plan smartly and execute your plans properly, it will allow you to deliver quickly and you can reap the rewards even much more quickly.

Be prepared to make the mistakes but learn from them. The failure is one of the greatest learning tools you can have and the mistakes are the wonderful teachers. Look deep at them and use them to do better next time.

At the same time you have to avoid the costly and disastrous mistakes, that is why we often take the advices from the seniors, experts or the successful business builders.

So know how to navigate the problems that could come up and plan smartly because~~~

“If you fail to plan – you are planning to fail”

BC Provincial Nominee Program and international students

In the era of globalization, an interesting development has been observed in international higher education regarding the increased use of the adjective ‘global’: global education, global competences, global citizenship, global engagement, global partnerships etc.

Where many EU countries are inviting the international student for higher studies on the “No tuition fee basis” and providing the funding and scholarship even and many countries are talking about the culture of togetherness for greater public spirit and interests.

Similarly almost all the ten provinces of Canada (i.e. Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan) offer the higher studies and thereafter the right of residence to attract the skilled labour to contribute for the great country.

Let us talk about the British Columbia this time where the Government officers from the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) and Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) actively exploring the possibilities and guiding the international students interested in living and working in Canada permanently after graduation, about how to apply for Canadian permanent residency through BC PNP.

British Columbia is a great place to study. It has beautiful surroundings, interesting people and a mix of many cultures. Vancouver is an international port city on the Pacific Rim with convenient connections to the U.S. and Asia. Each year, thousands of students from around the world come to British Columbia to study.

You can obtain an internationally-recognized post-secondary credential, complete a high school diploma, learn English or get ready for a career while learning about us and enjoying everything we have to offer.

Germany calling ~~~

When the Western countries are restricting, Germany is calling the highly qualified international migrants to enter its labour market.

Since August 2012, the labour market in Germany has been made even more attractive for highly qualified international migrants. It makes it easier to become established in the country under new EU Right of Residence act. In addition to this, the new Blue Card enables academics from abroad to live and work in Germany. University graduates from non-EU countries can also obtain this card. In professions where there is already a lack of qualified personnel and a Blue Card holders who have a sufficient command of German can obtain a permanent residence permit in Germany after just 21 months. The situation is also eased for family members who want to work here. The natural scientists, mathematicians, engineers, doctors and IT experts are in especially high demand in Germany.

In order to secure Germany’s base of qualified personnel in the long term, the Ministry of Economics and Technology and the Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs, as well as the Federal Employment Agency have launched the “Make it in Germany” initiative. The two Internet platforms

www.fachkräfte-offensive.de 

and

www.make-it-in-germany.com form the core of this campaign for qualified personnel.

EU Right of Residence~~~

There's good news for students, scientists, and researchers interested in studying and working in Germany. On April 27th, the Bundestag passed an act that will make studying and finding work in Germany easier. The Act Implementing the EU Directive on Entry and Residence of Highly Qualified Workers, as the new law is called, will allow foreign students more opportunities to work during their studies, as well as more time to search for employment once they have graduated.

Previously, foreign students were allowed to “odd-job” for 90 days each year, while the new act allows for 120 annually.  Once students have completed their studies, they are then allowed an 18-month window to seek employment, during which they can work an unlimited number of hours or days.  This limit was previously 12 months, and students had to have approval from the German Federal Employment Agency (BA) in order to work during that time.

“The new law opens up new opportunities in Germany for foreign students, scientists and researchers. It broadens the individual’s freedom of choice, e.g. to stay and work in Germany for a certain time or indefinitely. In the view of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), this individual freedom of choice is a key characteristic of an outward-looking and welcoming country.

EU Blue Card~~~

Germany's 'Blue Card initiative' to attract more highly qualified workers to Germany enters into effect on 1 August 2012. In addition to the Recognition Act, which facilitates the recognition of foreign professional credentials, several changes have been made to the German Residence Act in order to implement the European Union's Directive on Highly Qualified Workers.

The changes to Germany's Residence Act include regulations regarding the issuance of the new EU Blue Card - a residence permit intended for highly skilled third state nationals seeking employment in Germany. The new Residence Act also offers new benefits for foreign students and recent graduates of German universities.

So plan for ur studies and the new opportunities available onwards~~~~
