Who matters more to develop the abilities of children -"Family or Institutions"????  

Posted by venkatraman

Those things the young children learn will go directly into their mind and will remain in their mind life long.And similarly in the childhood each and every child have the ability to grasp things quickly whatever it is either good or bad.So it is we elders who are responsible to guide the children in a good track.

Inequality: Family Matters More than Institutions says James Heckman

According to Nobel Prize James Heckman, direct social transfers to families to develop the abilities of their children are more effective than money spent on retraining the unemployed.

Cognitive and non-cognitive abilities that are useful on the labor market get developed at an early age and mostly depend from family backgrounds. Already at three years of age, in IQ tests, children of highly educated and stable families obtain better scores that those living in less favorable family environments, and this difference more or less stays constant throughout life.

These conclusions were put forward by the 2000 Nobel Prize for Economics James Heckman, during the Marshall Lecture at the Annual Congress of the European Economic Association, which was held at Bocconi last week. In his intervention, titled The Psychology of Inequality, Heckman also emphasized the relevance of non-cognitive abilities such as motivation, which is of great value for the labor market and which can be transmitted to children.



To attain the objective of greater distributional equality, Heckman said, institutions should not think they can treat everybody the same. In addition, one's cultural sensibility gets developed at an early age, too, so the experiments with uprooting a kid from her or his own family, and implanting her or him in another with very different values, almost invariably end up in utter failures.

"Global pollution"-no chance in my case says "Hydrogen and fuel cells"

"Global pollution"-even a child is aware of this term.It is making such a bad impact in this environment.If this current rate of pollution continues then surely this is a harbinger for the destruction of the world.Where was the global pollution in last century ?From where did it come all of a sudden?None other than we human are responsible for this who gave birth to such an disaster . What are the main reasons for this?

(1) Industrial pollution-The most important cause for global pollution.The modernization and industrialization has not only uprooted man but has also destroyed his habitat and environment too.


The increase in discharge of carbon dioxide and other pollutants from various industries is as sharp as decrease in release of oxygen by plants as a result of which the bio equilibrium maintained since time immemorial has been affected. So, industrial pollution has become a great threat for the generations to come.(Eg)In the above figure a factory vents industrial waste.


(2)Deforestation-The cutting down of trees for industrialization is another cause.The trees which are the major source of oxygen is being cut down recklessly and as a result the oxygen content in the atmosphere is increasing notably.
This is the picture of burnt trees yunnan,china.


(3)Air pollution-Air pollution which is another cause of global warming.The entire environment is affected because of air pollution .(ex) Burning of tyres in spain as depicted in the picture.. If this type of pollution continues then __________?????? This blank can be any adverse effect.




Dont worry guys Im here -"Hydrogen and fuel cells":
Over the last few years, interest has grown for more eco-compatible energy sources, due to rising concern vis-à-vis urban pollution and global warming. There is widespread opinion that an energy regime exclusively centered on the exploitation of fossil fuels is no longer sustainable, both on grounds of environmental security and security of supply.

Among the options available to reduce our dependency on hydrocarbons, the search is on for energy vectors that have a low environmental impact and can be obtainable from alternative energy sources. Hydrogen seems to be the answer to these requirements. By feeding the electrochemical process occurring inside a fuel cell, this vector allows the generation of electrical energy, heat and water, without releasing noxious emissions. However the extensive recourse to hydrogen requires the upgrading of the technologies employed in its production, stocking and use. If the production of hydrogen were to be the outcome of a chemical treatment of hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide emissions would not be significantly curtailed, although pollution abatement would be major. The production cycle could otherwise be entirely clean, if hydrogen were manufactured with the aid of renewable sources.

Fuel cells are systems that are able to convert the chemical energy contained in a fuel directly into electrical energy, allowing much higher yields with respect to conventional technologies. Three are the main applications of this technology: stationary solutions, for the generation and distribution of electrical energy for residential and industrial uses; transportation, as potential substitute of the internal combustion engine; portable applications, to be employed in consumer electronics or as alternatives to continuity generators.

The hydrogen-fuel cell combination, based on very versatile and modular technology, is proposed as the ideal complement in a diversification strategy of primary energy sources. In spite of the positive elements so far highlighted, these solutions are still problematic at the industrial level. The introduction of so a pervasive technology (according to many economists, fuel cells are quintessentially disruptive innovations, reshaping the whole economy) requires a collaborative effort on the part of all players and stakeholders; from producers of components to system integrators, from policy makers to venture capitalists, down to local administrations and end users.

Research results confirm that collaboration between organizations ends up being the most effective strategy to accelerate innovation and diffusion in this attractive, albeit complex, technology. The thick mesh of agreements detected has not developed randomly, but according to a logic of complementarity among the organizations involved. The financial support of public and private entities is still vital for firms to navigate down cost curves and improve technological performance. However, the efficiency of investment should be improved by taking into account the existing network of collaborations, and focusing resources on those firms that operate in crucial positions of the network.

Difficulties in the life of Manager( MBA ) level persons in Top companies ?  

Posted by venkatraman



Each and every stream has its own dark sides.Even if one earns more and is leading a luxurious life the problem doesnot leave him.No one in this world can escape from the problem even God is no exception :-)
As in all others career streams, there is a flip side to being an MBA . Though not a huge deterrent, one should know about the life of an MBA as well.
A bit of a reality check here, but the personal life of most MBAs especially during their training period and formative years in an organization is extremely hectic. One of the primary reasons being: high performance pressure.


Most MBAs are at the helm of affairs for business concerns involving decision and policy making that demands a lot physically and mentally. The ones spearheading departments are responsible for what the whole team does, and every decision you take affects not just you, but often your entire team and impacts the entire organization.


Note:

But then, what's life without challenges? If you feel that you are made for tackling life head-on, and are excited about your work being meaningful, what are you waiting for? An MBA is a great first step towards your dream destination.

Which is better MBA or MS?????  

Posted by venkatraman




Each one has its own importance.The selection of the course solely depends on the individuals interest and their ability.

MBA:( Masters in Business Administration )
It is all about understanding the secret and tactics of business dynamics. An MBA is masters course which deals with learning how to work with people, because it is the people who run businesses.

After completing the course an MBA leads to responsible positions in business, in which many critical managerial decisions are taken that lead to the growth of any high level organization. MBA programs are present everywhere in the world, because their relevance is across industries, business sectors and economies. The completion of the course in a top management institute is more than enough.This will automatically take you into a high managerial post in a reputed organization in which you will get a excited pay packet more than you expect.

MS: ( Master of Sciene in Computer Science )


The MS in Computer Science is a program that provides a strong foundation in all of the main areas of Computer Science, with an emphasis on applied topics in current technology and software development. One main focus is on Object Oriented software development using the most current tools and systems, including the Java programming language.MS enables specialization in the areas of software systems and software development, and also includes the core areas of Computer Science, Operating Systems, Networking, Database, and several other important application areas. A series of courses in modern software systems and development includes the current principles and practices of modern programming, Software Engineering. Several courses in Distributed Software and Software Systems and Architecture are also available.The course selection entirely depends on the students interest. Thus MS program suits those persons who have finished their bachelor degree and are interested to explore the particular domain in computer science.Only the interest of the individual plays a major role.

To finish with MS is a specialization course in a specific area of interest whereas MBA is a course for those who are interested in developing their ability to analyze and strategize and also to improve leadership skills and work in a organization at managerial level .

wanna know about the Group discussion topics that might come for you then here it is for you  

Posted by venkatraman



The moderator will give you the topic.It could be on anything ranging from politics,social issues,economics,education,environment,ethics,law,technology, MBA-related,sports related or any abstract topic.

All the GD topics can be broadly categorised into four areas:

(1) Factual Topics
Eg: The education policy of India

(2) Controversial Topics
Eg: Reservations should be removed

(3) Abstract Topics
Eg: You only live twice.

(4) Case-based Topics

So be prepared to face any topic.Be confident and even if not show as if you are so.All the best.

Remember that you have to take care of your own interest ,and nobody else is going to do it for you.So it is your responsibility to make you comfortable and so if you are getting physically exclude from the group,you have two options.

(1) You can push your chair a little forward so that you can then be noticed by the other members of the group.

(2) You can ask your neighbours who are blocking you from getting noticed to pull their chairs a little back so that they do not block you out of the group.
All the best.

Can I select my seat in GD?Is there any advantage or disadvantage based on my seat in GD?  

Posted by venkatraman




In most of GD,the moderator decides the seating arrangement.once you enter the room where the GD is to be conducted,you will be told where you should sit.The seating arrangement of the entire group is already decided by the time you go into the room.In some cases the moderator may not make any seating arrangements but may ask the participants to sit as they wish.But this practice is not very common.


ADVANTAGE or DISADVANTAGE OF YOUR POSITION:


If the seating arrangement is circular ,then there is no difference between any positions.However,if the seating arrangement is around a rectangular table,then the best position are the middle of the shorted sides of the rectangular table.The next best positions are those at the centre of either one of the longer sides.The positions at the two ends of the longer sides are the least desirable.Whatever positions you get,concentrate on your participation rather than on position of your seat.However,make sure that you are being noticed by all members of the group.If necessary lean a little forward while speaking. All the best guys.
