Company that HIRES

After recession in US the spil over effect can be felt in India also. One of the most worrying effect is the laying-off employees. one of the recent example of lay-off is Citigroup, which  on Tuesday decided to cut 53,000 more jobs, triggering fears of more layoffs across industries.

According to an article in TOI. Companies like SBI, L&T, Accenture and more are planning to recruit new workers than firing already employed workers.

SBI will hire 25,000 new hands, according to bank chairman O P Bhat. Fresh recruitment will be done this fiscal — 20 ,000 in the clerical cadre and 5,000 supervisory staff. 

Bank of India will hire 10,000 over the next few months. This, on top of over 30,000 fresh recruits in 2008-09. In next 2 years, the bank plans to take in 75,000. 

Accenture will hire 10,000 people in India by 2010, says COO Stephen J Rohleder. 

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, top global management consultants, is looking to hire 3,500 in India in three years. 

MetLife, a new private insurance company, will recruit 30,000 agents and 2,000 managers by March 2009, says CEO Rajesh Relan. 

Aegis BPO Services will add 1,000 people per month this fiscal.

Companies like TCS, Infosys, Maruti, Satyam, L&T together will recruit 29789 freshers and more....

What eats Carbon dioxide ?

There is a type of rock with a voracious appetite for carbon dioxide.

 The rock is peridotite, which is one of the main rocks in the upper mantle, an area that provides a girth below the Earth’s crust. The rock occurs some 20km or more down, although in areas where plate tectonics have forced up some of the mantle, peridotite reaches the surface. This happens in part of the Omani desert which Peter Kelemen and Juerg Matter, both from Columbia University, New York, have studied for years. Geologists have long known that when peridotite is exposed to the air it can react quickly with carbon dioxide to form carbonates like limestone or marble.

In a research a team have shown that Omani peridotite can absorbs tens of thousands of tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, far more than anyone had thought. By drilling and fracturing the rock they believe they can start a process to increase the absorption rate by 100,000 times or more. They estimate this would allow the Omani outcrop, which extends down some 5km, alone to absorb some 4 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, which is a substantial part of the annual 30 billion or so tonnes of the gas that humans send into the atmosphere, mostly by burning fossil fuels.

Peridotite can also be found at the surface in other parts of the world, including some Pacific islands, along the coasts of Greece and Croatia, and in smaller deposits in America. Nor is it the only rock with carbon-eating potential. The researchers are now looking at volcanic basalt in a new project in Iceland. 

The research has proved useful in depleting the Green house effect.

PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN

Finally, the day awaited by all Indian has arrived. 

The tricolour landed on the moon at 8.31 pm on Friday, opening a new chapter in the history of India’s space exploration.Along with the entities like US, former Soviet Union, Japan and the European Space Agency (17 nations) India has also joined the club. 

The tricolour was painted on all sides of the 29 kg Moon Impact probe (MIP) which was attached to the top portion of the main lunar orbiter, Chandrayaan. The MIP is the brainchild of former President A P J Abdul Kalam.

Probe in electronics means either a Robotic probe, a robot  that uses onboard instruments to gather and relay a variety of telemetry to controllers from remote, hazardous or otherwise difficult to reach locations or as a Space probe, a robotic probe operating in space.

During its flight, its video camera took pictures of the Moon, the spectrometer began its analysis and the altitude meter did what is known as a ranging. While approaching the Moon, it slowed down slightly, then spun. While spinning, its three instruments went into action. When it was 5 km above the Moon’s surface, the altimeter did the ‘ranging of the Moon’. ‘‘All this while the atmosphere was pretty tense in the mission control room,’’ said a scientist.  Kalam’s rationale for including the MIP was that since Chandrayaan was orbiting the Moon at an altitude of 100 km above the lunar surface, a landing would make India’s presence felt on the Moon’s surface. He believed that if this was done, India could always stake a claim to a portion of the Moon.

 

Are you NEO or TRADITIONAL ?

How do you classify yourself as a shopper ?

If you think about the recession while shopping then you are Traditional but if you don't worry much before spending a nickle then for sure you are a Neo. According to consumer behaviourist Ross Honeywill.

Honeywill says that Neos are spenders who are not overly influenced by economic contractions. They love wearing designs, shop at destination strips with chi-chi outlets, stay in boutique hotels and don't care about the recession. On the other hand, Traditionals are those who love their status symbols and security but in times of economic turmoil, turn into cheapskates who won't spend unless it's a bargain.

According to Honeywill's research, Neos are five times more likely to earn in excess of 100,000 dollars each year.

"In times of upheaval, Neos will keep consuming but shifting their priorities - a lot are spending less on staples and boring things so they can continue to buy something gorgeous. So they may sacrifice their weekly movie so they can still buy a wonderful bottle of wine or maybe see a concert and just go out less regularly," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Honeywill, as saying.

He said that Traditionals will "be driving around on cheap Tuesday looking for the lowest petrol price and wasting fuel in the process".

"They'll also be bargain hunting non-stop and when you think about Harvey Norman, which targets Traditionals - that's a worry because these guys have stopped consuming high-end status brands as part of their conspicuous consumption. That's dead for now," Honeywill said.

So, what you want to be now a Neo or Traditional ?

SELF LOVE

Self Love for me is not appreciating what I did best in my life instead appreciating what I am.

Well it doesn't mean that I consider myself to be flawless. Self love in true sense is to keep correcting one-self in order to be a better human being. Unconditional and forgiving self-love fosters unconditional and forgiving love of others. How you feel about yourself has lot to do about how others feel about you.

Sometimes its too obvious by the way one present him/herself. Often, though, it's not that clear. Many of us are good at presenting a positive persona (mask) to the world. Inside, though, we may be riddled with doubts about ourselves. We may be nervous about how our remarks or appearance are received. We may meet someone to whom we're attracted and silently affirm that (s)he would never, NEVER be interested in us. This way we avoid the fear of rejection by not taking a risk. 

The only way to make people love you is to love yourself.

Usualy self love is mis-understood as ego. But, there exist a very fine difference between Self love and Ego.The difference between self-love and egotism can be made more clear if we take a deeper look at so-called egotism. The person who is constantly talking about himself is not someone who is filled with self-love. He is more likely someone whose inner well of self-love and self-esteem is empty. He feels the need to replenish it from outside sources. 

Ego operates on the basis of fear and is an addiction.The ego addict is trying to escape her own painful lack of self love, and asking others to say she's lovable. Sadly, this kind of attempt usually backfires. Instead of earning approval, the person who must always talk about herself ultimately finds herself rejected. This makes her only more frantic for approval, and a cycle which is already self-defeating may become self-destructive. 

A crystal wouldn't hide its rainbows, a flower wouldn't refuse to blossom, and a cat wouldn't halt in the midst of an acrobatic leap out of concern that others of its species might think it a showoff. 

When we humans are clear about the source of our own gifts, when we know that our purpose in expressing them isn't ego gratification, but the manifestation of our soul's purpose, we can be as free in our expression as any other creature.
