Train commuters come out with a magazine

Train commuters come out with a magazine
Tuesday, 30 December , 2008, 22:27
Kannur: Train passengers of north Kerala have came out with a magazine
to give vent to their literary expression which they penned during their
fascinating train journey.

The train commuters of north Kerala conceived the novel idea of coming
out with a coloured Magazine -- Pathikante Kayyoppu (Impression of The
Traveller) -- to give fellow passengers a rare opportunity to pen down
poems, short stories and their thoughts on contemporary issues.

The magazine was released by short story writer V R Sudheesh by handing
over the first copy to Kannur railway station manager T P K Shivadas at
a simple function inside a coach of an express train, stationed here for
a while in the afternoon.

The magazine has vivid and fascinating narration, written both in prose
and verses, on their varying experiences aptly utilising spare time
during day-to-day train journeys, topic on politics, society,
environment.

The publishers received accolades from eminent persons including Chief
Minister V S Achuthanandan, Education Minister M A Baby, local MPs and
MLAs who wished them success in their venture, saying a magazine of its
kind was rare.

Economic Models in Bovine terms

In view of the current worldwide economic crisis, it is borne upon you to seriously study these.

21 Economic Models ... explained with cows

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
You give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then
throws the milk
away...

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

SURREALISM
You have two giraffes.
The government requires you to take harmonica lessons

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four
cows.
Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped
dead.

VENTURE CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using
letters of
credit opened by
your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap
with an
associated
general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax
exemption for
five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an
intermediary to a
Cayman Island
Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the
rights to
all seven
cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the
company owns
eight cows,
with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new
president of the
United States,
leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the
release. The
public then
buys your bull.

A FRENCH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because
you want
three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary
cow and
produce twenty
times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image
called
'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

A GERMAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a
month, and milk
themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.
You decide to have lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.
You count them again and learn you have 2 cows.
You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you.
You charge the owners for storing them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You have 10 people milking them.
You now have full employment .

AN INDIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You worship them.

A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Both are mad.

AN IRAQI CORPORATION
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows.
You tell them that you have none.
No-one believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country.
You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of
Democracy....

AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
You have two cows.
Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

History of the Indian Flag

THE HISTORY OF THE INDIAN FLAG.

The flag that was first hoisted on August 7, 1906,
at the Parsee Bagan Square in Calcutta .

Called the 'Saptarishi Flag', this was hoisted in Stuttgart
at the International Socialist Congress held on August 22, 1907.

Associated with the names of Dr. Annie Besant and
Lokmanya Tilak, this flag was hoisted at
the Congress session in Calcutta during the
'Home Rule Movement'.

In the year 1921, a young man from Andhra presented
this flag to Gandhiji for approval. It was only after
Gandhiji's suggestion that the white strip and
the charkha were added.

This flag was suggested during the All India Congress
Committee session in 1931. However, the Committee's
suggestion was not approved.

On August 6, 1931, the Indian National Congress
formally adopted this flag, which was first hoisted
on August 31.

Our National Flag, which was born on July 22, 1947,
with Nehruji's words, 'Now I present to you not only the Resolution,
but the Flag itself'. This flag was first hoisted at the Council House
on August 15, 1947.

The man who designed Tiranga versatile genius Lt. Shri Pingali Venkayya.

Lt .Shri Pingali Venkayya

India's flag is a tricolor standard, with bands of saffron, white, and dark green. The saffron represents courage, sacrifice, patriotism, and renunciation. It is also the color of the Hindu people. The green stands for faith, fertility and the land; it is the color of the Islam religion. The white is in the center, symbolizing the hope for unity and peace. In the center of the white band is a blue wheel with 24 spokes. This is the Ashoka Chakra (or 'Wheel of Law'). The Chakra represents the continuing progress of the nation and the importance of justice in life. It also appears on the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka ' .

Frederic Bastiat Quotation (1850)

Frederic Bastiat's cogent analysis of importance of the things that are not seen in world of economics...

In the department of economy, an act, a habit, an institution, a law, gives birth not only to an effect, but to a series of effects. Of these effects, the first only is immediate; it manifests itself simultaneously with its cause ‐ it is seen. The others unfold in succession -- they are not seen: it is well for us, if they are foreseen. Between a good and a bad economist this constitutes the whole difference -- the one takes account of the visible effect; the other takes account both of the effects which are seen, and also of those which it is necessary to foresee. Now this difference is enormous, for it almost always happens that when the immediate consequence is favourable, the ultimate consequences are fatal, and the converse. Hence it follows that the bad economist pursues a small present good, which will be followed by a great evil to come, while the true economist pursues a great good to come, at the risk of a small present evil.

Mom's antibiotic and child's palsy

<b>Mom antibiotic link to child palsy</b>
(From Telegraph)

New Delhi, Sept. 18: Antibiotics do not help women with signs of
premature labour whose waters have not broken, but increase the risk of
cerebral palsy in their children, a study has found.

The 14-country trial — the world's largest medical study on the use of
antibiotics in premature labour — was led by a team at Leicester
University, the UK, and involved a seven-year follow-up of more than
8,000 children.

It found that the proportion of children with cerebral palsy, a
neurological condition that disrupts physical movements, was higher
among women who had received erythromycin than among those who did not —
3.3 per cent versus 1.7 per cent.

Mothers given an antibiotic called co-amoxiclav also had a higher
proportion of children with cerebral palsy than those who did not get
this antibiotic — 3.2 per cent compared with 1.9 per cent.

Doctors and health authorities, however, have stressed that pregnant
women should not feel concerned about taking antibiotics to treat
infections. "Antibiotics must definitely be given when there is an
infection," said Sara Kenyon, a researcher at Leicester and co-ordinator
of the trial.

"Antibiotics save lives, and pregnant women with possible or obvious
infections must be considered for treatment with antibiotics," the UK
department of health said in a letter circulated to doctors and
pharmacists across the UK this week.

The findings will be relevant to India where there is evidence of
irrational prescription of antibiotics, said a senior doctor in New
Delhi.

"Cattywampus"

Best Teacher I Ever Had
by David Owen
Extracted from Reader's Digest (Asian Edition), April 1991, pp. 47-48.

Mr. Whitson taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he
gave us a lecture about a creature called the cattywampus, an
ill-adapted nocturnal animal that was wiped out during the Ice Age. He
passed around a skull as he talked. We all took notes and later had a
quiz.

When he returned my paper, I was shocked. There was a big red X through
each of my answers. I had failed. There had to be some mistake! I had
written down exactly what Mr. Whitson said. Then I realized that
everyone in the class had failed. What had happened?

Very simple, Mr. Whitson explained. He had made up all the stuff about
the cattywampus. There had never been any such animal. The information
in our notes was, therefore, incorrect. Did we expect credit for
incorrect answers?

Needless to say, we were outraged. What kind of test was this? And what
kind of teacher?

We should have figured it out, Mr. Whitson said. After all, at the every
moment he was passing around the cattywampus skull (in truth, a cat's),
hadn't he been telling us that no trace of the animal remained? He had
described its amazing night vision, the color of its fur and any number
of other facts he couldn't have known. He had given the animal a
ridiculous name, and we still hadn't been suspicious. The zeroes on our
papers would be recorded in his grade book, he said. And they were.

Mr. Whitson said he hoped we would learn something from this experience.
Teachers and textbooks are not infallable. In fact, no one is. He told
us not to let our minds go to sleep, and to speak up if we ever thought
he or the textbook was wrong.

Every class was an adventure with Mr. Whitson. I can still remember some
science periods almost from beginning to end. On day he told us that his
Volkswagon was a living organism. It took us two full days to put
together a refutation he would accept. He didn't let us off the hook
until we had proved not only that we knew what an organism was but also
that we had the fortitude to stand up for the truth.

We carried our brand-new skepticism into all our classes. This caused
problems for the other teachers, who weren't used to being challenged.
Our history teacher would be lecturing about something, and then there
would be clearings of the throat and someone would say 'cattywampus.'

If I'm ever asked to propose a solution to the problems in our schools,
it will be Mr. Whitson. I haven't made any great scientific discoveries,
but Mr. Whitson's class gave me and my classmates something just as
important: the courage to look people in the eye and tell them they are
wrong. He also showed us that you can fun doing it.

Not everyone sees the value in this. I once told an elementary school
teacher about Mr. Whitson. The teacher was appalled. "He shouldn't have
tricked you like that," he said. I looked that teacher right in the eye
and told him that he was wrong.

Manjul Bhargava: Youngest prof at Princeton University

Printed from

Manjul Bhargava: Youngest prof at Princeton University
16 Aug, 2008, 0450 hrs IST,Madhuvantthe, ET Bureau


Manjul Bhargava,Youngest Professor at the US

MUMBAI: It doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that you have a professional hiker by your side.

But when the gentleman you walk with — along the unending stretches at IIT Bombay, Powai — tells you that he arrives at the best solutions to complex mathematical theories while hiking, it makes you pause and wonder.

At 33, Manjul Bhargava is a whiz at maths, music and hiking. And he’s the youngest professor at Princeton University, US. When most people are still learning to navigate the rough and tumble of the workplace, Bhargava had hotfooted it to where he is now.

He did his PhD in number theory at Princeton — he cracked a 200-year-old problem — under his mentor, Andrew Viles. And was named professor at the tender age of 28. “It was weird. I started teaching when I was an undergraduate. And when I went into it full time, I was suddenly flooded with offers from different colleges for various posts.”
Why Princeton? “They had the best offer,” he grins.

But — er — math? A subject that intimidates so many of us mere mortals? To become a reasearcher in that subject, teach it, win prizes and be in love with it is, well, no less than a feat. “Maths is fun. It is a creative process. I always knew I had an inclination for maths. So going into research in the subject was natural for me.”

He believes in the huge potential for the subject in India, and will be teaching at IIT Powai and TIFR in Mumbai for about a month each year.

Bhargava is in India in connection with a string theory conference at TIFR. He also gave a lecture at IIT-B and is working on starting a music programme here. He is an adjunct professor at Princeton and IIT-B, and tries to visit once or twice a year.

“Maths is all about creativity. It’s an art... There is something about Indians that makes them good at maths. It’s either cultural or genetic.” Genetic, maybe. But cultural? “For generations, we have produced great mathematicians. Maybe it’s because of that,” he believes. And, of course, the obsessive importance attached to engineering in the country. “When you’re good at maths, you are immediately pushed towards engineering for economic reasons. Because for a long time, engineers were the ones who grabbed the good jobs.”

However, he feels, things are changing now in favour of pure sciences. “There are a lot more research jobs available. With so many institutes starting up, all the new IITs, they are going to need a lot more faculty.”

But most students dread the M word. That is one exam they will gladly pass up the chance to write. “That is true,” he says. “Sadly, in India, we tend to teach maths according to a structure. Students learn formulae by rote. Teachers should teach maths just like other subjects. Explain a theory, ask students to try and find answers and then guide them in the right direction,” he says.

Another problem, he points out, is that if you are good at any of the sciences, you are expected to choose engineering. “But that’s not the way it works. Someone who excels in maths need not be that good at chemistry or physics. Everyone has a knack for some subject. He or she should be encouraged to concentrate on that subject.”

The levels of teaching the subject here are way ahead of those in the US, he says. “As a child, I used to come down to India for months together. I used to look at textbooks here and wonder. Because the level of maths taught here is way above what their American contemporaries learn at that age.”

Bhargava counts number theory and tabla sessions among his passions. Just like the problems he solves on hikes. He seems pretty much at home walking these roads and talking about his life. Does he do it often? “Oh yes, I do. There are times when I am stuck on a theory and all I need is a long walk in the woods to arrive at a solution. I even take my students on hikes sometimes to explain or work out a theory.”

Maths is, of course, in his blood. His mother too is a mathematics professor. But his horizons have always been broader. “I always knew I was inclined towards maths. At graduation, I took a lot of classes. Even though my core subject was maths, I took credits in Sanksrit, paleontology and economics. Then I started taking classes during my undergrad years and things just kind of fell into place,” he says.

Would he consider moving to India, to share his love for maths? And where would he pitch tent? The answer’s simple. “Mumbai, definitely. It’s where maths and music come together for me,” he says.
