Real story of American Dollar v/s Indian Rupee (IMPORTANT MESSEAGE READ IT)
| Real story of American Dollar v/s Indian Rupee (IMPORTANT MESSEAGE READ IT) | ||
 | ||
| An Advice to all who are worrying about fall of Indian Rupee Throughout the country please stop using cars except for emergency for only seven days (Just 7 days) Definitely Dollar rate will come down. This is true. The value to dollar is given by petrol only.This is called Derivative Trading. America has stopped valuing its Dollar with Gold 70 years ago. Americans understood that Petrol is equally valuable as Gold so they made Agreement with all the Middle East countries to sell petrol in Dollars only. That is why Americans print their Dollar as legal tender for debts. This mean if you don't like their American Dollar and go to their Governor and ask for repayment in form of Gold,as in India they won't give you Gold. You observe Indian Rupee, " I promise to pay the bearer..." is clearly printed along with the signature of Reserve Bank Governor. This mean, if you don't like Indian Rupee and ask for repayment,Reserve Bank of India will pay you back an equal value of gold.(Actually there may be minor differences in the Transaction dealing rules, but for easy comprehension I am explaining this) Let us see an example. Indian petroleum minister goes to Middle East country to purchase petrol, the Middle East petrol bunk people will say that liter petrol is one Dollar. But Indians won't have dollars. They have Indian Rupees. So what to do now? So That Indian Minister will ask America to give Dollars. American Federal Reserve will take a white paper , print Dollars on it and give it to the Indian Minister. Like this we get dollars , pay it to petrol bunks and buy petrol. But there is a fraud here. If you change your mind and want to give back the Dollars to America we can't demand them to pay Gold in return for the Dollars. They will say " Have we promised to return something back to you? Haven't you checked the Dollar ? We clearly printed on the Dollar that it is Debt" So, Americans don't need any Gold with them to print Dollars. They will print Dollars on white papers as they like. But what will Americans give to the Middle East countries for selling petrol in Dollars only? Middle East kings pay rent to America for protecting their kings and heirs. Similarly they are still paying back the Debt to America for constructing Roads and Buildings in their countries. This is the value of American Dollar. That is why Many say some day the Dollar will be destroyed. At present the problem of India is the result of buying those American Dollars. American white papers are equal to Indian Gold. So if we reduce the consumption of petrol and cars, Dollar will come down The Above Details are translated originally from Telugu Language to English by Radhika Gr. Kindly share this and make everyone aware of the facts of American Dollar V/s Indian Rupee. And here is a small thing other than petrol , what we can do to our Indian Rupee YOU CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS:- Please spare a couple of minutes here for the sake of India. Here's a small example:- At 2008 August month 1 US $ = INR Rs 39.40 At 2013 August now 1 $ = INR Rs 62 Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down. Our economy is in your hands.INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries, is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation. More than 30,000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages, etc. which are grown, produced and consumed here. A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paise to produce, is sold for Rs.9 and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interest we request everybody to use INDIAN products only at least for the next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the Rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future. What you can do about it? Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product. Daily products which are COLD DRINKS,BATHING SOAP ,TOOTH PASTE,TOOTH BRUSH ,SHAVING CREAM,BLADE, TALCUM POWDER ,MILK POWDER ,SHAMPOO , Food Items etc. all you need to do is buy Indian Goods and Make sure Indian rupee is not crossing outside India. Every INDIAN product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA. Let us take a firm decision today. we are not anti-multinational. we are trying to save our nation. every day is a struggle for a real freedom. we achieved our independence after losing many lives. they died painfully to ensure that we live peacefully. the current trend is very threatening. multinationals call it globalization of indian economy. for indians like you and me, it is re-colonization of india. the colonist's left india then. but this time, they will make sure they don't make any mistakes. Russia, S.Korea, Mexico - the list is very long!! let us learn from their experience and from our history. let us do the duty of every true Indian. finally, it's obvious that you can't give up all of the items mentioned below. so give up at least one item for the sake of our country! Here is a small list of products (many of which are surely proven) we can at least try: COLD DRINKS: USE: - FROOTI, LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA, ENERJEE, and MASALA MILK... INSTEAD OF: - COCA COLA, PEPSI, LIMCA, MIRINDA, SPRITE BATHING SOAP: USE - CINTHOL & OTHER GODREJ BRANDS, SANTOOR, WIPRO SHIKAKAI, MYSORE SANDAL, MARGO, NEEM, EVITA, MEDIMIX, GANGA , NIRMA BATH & CHANDRIKA INSTEAD OF - LUX, LIFEBOY, REXONA, LIRIL, DOVE, PEARS, HAMAM, LESANCY, CAMAY, PALMOLIVE TOOTH PASTE: - USE - NEEM, BABOOL, PROMISE, VICO VAJRADANTI, PRUDENT, DABUR PRODUCTS, MISWAK INSTEAD OF - COLGATE, CLOSE UP, PEPSODENT, CIBACA, FORHANS, MENTADENT. TOOTH BRUSH: - USE – PRUDENT, AJANTA , PROMISE INSTEAD OF - COLGATE, CLOSE UP, PEPSODENT, FORHANS, ORAL-B SHAVING CREAM: USE - GODREJ, EMANI INSTEAD OF - PALMOLIVE, OLD SPICE, GILLETE BLADE:- USE - SUPERMAX, TOPAZ, LAZER, ASHOKA INSTEAD OF - SEVEN-O -CLOCK, 365, GILLETTE TALCUM POWDER: USE - SANTOOR, GOKUL, CINTHOL, WIPRO BABY POWDER, BOROPLUS INSTEAD OF - PONDS, OLD SPICE, JOHNSON BABY POWDER, SHOWER TO SHOWER MILK POWDER: USE - INDIANA, AMUL, AMULYA INSTEAD OF - ANIKSPRAY, MILKANA, EVERYDAY MILK, MILKMAID. SHAMPOO: USE - LAKME, NIRMA, VELVET INSTEAD OF - HALO, ALL CLEAR, NYLE, SUNSILK, HEAD AND SHOULDERS, PANTENE We would be sending useless forwards to our friends daily. Instead, please forward this to all your friends to create awareness. http://www.joychenputhukulam.com/newsMore.php?newsId=33299 | ||

New Model SHAW Pocket Hygrometer
New Model ![]()
Pocket Hygrometer
Pocket Hygrometer'DRY AIR'
Designed by Honorary Professor Leonard Shaw, this miniature match box size meter is simple, reliable and accurate, with a clear display of the dew point of moisture from parts per billion to room air. It contains a five year life lithium cell for instant accurate readings in regular use, or during mains power failures.
It can be used either from a vest pocket, or connected by ordinary t/v cable, up to a half mile distant from its moisture sensor, for continuous use or for spot checks. With instant user checking by Shaw Automatic calibration, the guaranteed accuracy of better than one part per million moisture, in very dry air, is simply unique, as the sensor has a large micro farad capacitance, unlike contemporary sensors which have a small capacitance and need electronic amplifiers and special connecting cables.
The sensor, which is gold plated, has a pure gold internal filter and can be easily detached from the meter. In still or flowing air or gas no corrections are needed for the flow rates or for a different gas, as the sensor is specific to water vapour.
With the wide range of minus 80 to 0 C. dew point, the performance of this new pocket hygrometer is far ahead of contemporary hygrometer technology.

I suffered from alopecia totalis about 2 years ago.It was a very traumatic time as it seem there was no cure. The doctor thought it was thyroid that caused the hair fall but blood test was negative.I was prescribed with steroid cream and steroid injection by the dermatologist but had to stop medication when I developed folliculitis from the steroid cream.
During this depressing and frustrating time,I was searching on the internet for answers to my condition.That was when I spotted Dr Giri website.My hope was raised when I saw the testimonial of the many alopecia patient he treated.May be his therapy could also work on me.
I contacted Dr Giri and his reply was very reassuring and concern. It make me felt like I am in a hand of a experience doctor that has seen and cure many hair loss victim like me. After 3-4 weeks positive resulat appear. Its been about 7 months since the treatment, my hair has grown back. I have trust and faith in his therapy.
I sincerely would like to thank Dr Giri.

India infrastructure projects set to boost economy
The Indian government has approved infrastructure projects worth 1.83tn rupees ($28.4bn; £17.7bn) to revive the economy and boost the falling rupee.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram said 36 stalled projects in oil, gas, power, road and railways sectors were cleared."The message we are sending is that the investment cycle has restarted, and we are pushing it," he said.
The announcement came on a day the rupee hit a new record low, touching 65.6 against the US dollar.
Recent attempts to reduce volatility in currency markets have so far failed to have any result.
'Be patient, be firm' The finance minister told reporters on Tuesday that the rupee had "overshot its true level", but said that India was not the only country facing problems.
"As I said in parliament, every emerging market is challenged today. So India is also challenged, and the impact is felt both on the equity market as well as the currency market," news agency Reuters quoted him as saying.
"I think we'll simply have to be patient, be firm, do whatever is required to be done, and the rupee will find its appropriate level.
"What I said a few days ago, I still maintain it. The rupee has overshot its true level, it's undervalued.
"Others have confirmed it. And we have to be patient and we have to be firm and we have to do what requires to be done," he said.

| 66.1700 | - -0.66 | - -0.98 |
Mr Chidambaram also tried to allay fears over the impact of the Food Security Bill on the country's finances.
The bill, which was approved by the lower house of parliament on Monday night, is aimed at providing subsidised food to two-thirds of the population in an effort to eradicate the widespread hunger and malnutrition plaguing India.But the ambitious legislation will cost 1.3tn rupees ($19.76bn; £12.75bn) a year. Critics say it is a profligate plan that will hurt India's economy.
However, the minister said it would not lead to the government overshooting its fiscal deficit target.
"After providing for the Food Security Bill, we will remain within the limit I have set for myself in the budget," he said.
The country has already been hurt by a slowdown in growth and a widening current account deficit.
Its economy, Asia's third-largest, grew at an annual rate of 5% in the 2012-13 financial year, the slowest pace in 10 years.

Prime Minister’s intervention in the Second Working Session of the St. Petersburg G-20 Summit
Prime Minister’s intervention in the Second Working Session of the St. Petersburg G-20 Summit
Following is the text of the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh’s intervention in the Second Working Session of the St. Petersburg G-20 Summit today:
“We are all agreed that growth and job creation should be the central message of this summit. India is a nation of youth and our working age population is expected to expand. We are pursuing a massive skills development programme to ensure that our young people get gainful employment so that they can both contribute to, and benefit from, economic growth.
All developing countries must emphasize skill development. There is room for learning from international experience, including that of industrialised countries.
International labour mobility in high end skills has become an important aspect of global integration across countries. Pending the evolution of international agreements in this area, we must do whatever we can to avoid new restrictive measures, which can stifle a sector that can contribute to global growth in the years ahead.
Small and medium enterprises have a leading role to play in creating jobs. I recognise the importance of this sector and note that several industrialised countries are taking steps to increase the flow of credit to small and medium enterprises. Directed credit policies have been followed by many developing countries, and I recall we used to be criticised for them on the grounds that they interfered with prudent banking. With increased appreciation of such interventions, we need to share experience in this area.
Financial inclusion is essential for inclusive growth. We, in India, are currently engaged in a massive exercise to enable our large population in rural areas to have access to banks. This is being achieved through the use of a bio-metric unique identification system which establishes identity and enables the individual to access her bank account through a network of banking correspondents using information technology and mobile connectivity. In this way, modern technology and institutional innovation will help add hundreds of millions of individuals as customers of banks in the short space of a few years.
A key instrument for growth and job creation in developing countries is investment in infrastructure. At the Los Cabos summit, we had directed our Finance Ministers to consider ways in which the G-20 could help increase the flow of finance for infrastructure. Industrialised countries have shown that unconventional monetary policy can be used to great effect. We need to show the same innovativeness in devising unconventional development financing also.
The World Bank and ADB could create a special window for financing infrastructure development, including for ongoing projects that face a sudden scarcity of funds owing to volatile capital flows. The aim should be to create flexible mechanisms which not only maintain the flow of infrastructure financing at times when other investments are slowing down, but actually expand such investments to play a counter cyclical role.
International financial institutions can often leverage greater private flows to infrastructure. The IFC has done sterling work in many sectors, and a greater involvement of the IFC in infrastructure financing would help catalyse private sector flows into the sector.
All this will involve additional capital. I hope the G-20 can give a signal that we are willing to provide the necessary capital.”

FCIL signs MoU with CIL, GAIL and RCF for revival of Talcher Urea Plant in Odisha
FCIL signs MoU with CIL, GAIL and RCF for revival of Talcher Urea Plant in Odisha
Fertilizer Corporation of India Ltd. (FCIL) has signed an MoU with Coal India Ltd. (CIL), GAIL India Ltd. and Rashtriya Chemicals & Fertilizers Ltd. (RCF) for revival of Talcher Urea Plant in Odisha here today. The MoU was signed in presence of Union Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Shri Veerapa Moily, Minister of Coal, Shri Sriprakash Jaiswal and Minister of State (I/C) for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Statistics & PI, Shri Srikant Kumar Jena.
On the occasion, Shri Srikant Kumar Jena said that today is a historic day for the country, in particular for the people of Odisha, as the Talcher Unit of FCIL is being revived by a consortium of RCF, CIL, GAIL & FCIL at an estimated cost of about Rs 8,000 crore. He said that it is a unique project being setup on Coal Gasification for production of 1.2 MTPA Urea and Ammonium Nitrate. CIL shall supply about 5 million tons per annum of coal for this project.
Shri Jena informed that it has been decided to form two separate Joint Venture (JV) Companies for the proposed revival. JV-1 would take up upstream coal gasification and gas purification with GAIL having major stake. JV-2 would take up down-stream Urea-cum-Ammonium Nitrate Complex & Off-sites, including Power Plant & Coal Washery and will have major stakes of RCF & CIL with minor stake by FCIL & GAIL, the Minister added.
FCIL, a multi-unit fertilizer PSU under the Dept. of Fertilizer (DoF) having units Sindri, Talcher, Ramagundam, Gorakhpur & Korba was closed in Sept. 2002. However, the revival process was started by the Government and the Cabinet, in principle, approved the proposal for revival of closed units of FCIL in April 2007. In October 2008, the Cabinet approved the constitution of an Empowered Committee of Secretaries (ECOS) with the mandate to evaluate all options for revival of closed units of FCIL. In August 2011, the Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) for revival of all the Units of FCIL, including Talcher Fertilizer Plant was approved by CCEA.
Recently, CCEA approved waiver of Government of India loan and interest of about Rs. 11,000 crores on FCIL and subsequently FCIL was de-registered from BIFR.
The pre-project activities for revival of Talcher project have already started. GAIL has already floated tender for pre-qualification of Coal-Gas Technology Supplier. RCF has also floated tender calling for LSTK bids for Ammonia - Urea plant. The project will not only reduce the dependence on imported urea but shall also utilize indigenously available feedstock. The project is expected to be commissioned by 2017.
The Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Vivek Rae, Secretary, Ministry of Coal Shri S.K. Srivastava, Secretary, Department of Fertilizer Shri Sudhir Mital, the CMD of FCIL Shri Satish Chandra, CMD of RCF Shri R.G. Rajan, CMD of GAIL Shri B.C. Tripathi and CMD of CIL Shri S. Narsingh Rao were also present on the occasion.

However, the revival process was started by the Government and the Cabinet, in principle, approved the proposal for revival of closed units of FCIL in April 2007. In October 2008, the Cabinet approved the constitution of an Empowered Committee of Secretaries (ECOS) with the mandate to evaluate all options for revival of closed units of FCIL. In August 2011, the Draft Rehabilitation Scheme (DRS) for revival of all the Units of FCIL, including Talcher Fertilizer Plant was approved by CCEA.
Recently, CCEA approved waiver of Government of India loan and interest of about Rs. 11,000 crores on FCIL and subsequently FCIL was de-registered from BIFR.
The pre-project activities for revival of Talcher project have already started. GAIL has already floated tender for pre-qualification of Coal-Gas Technology Supplier. RCF has also floated tender calling for LSTK bids for Ammonia - Urea plant. The project will not only reduce the dependence on imported urea but shall also utilize indigenously available feedstock. The project is expected to be commissioned by 2017.
The Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Vivek Rae, Secretary, Ministry of Coal Shri S.K. Srivastava, Secretary, Department of Fertilizer Shri Sudhir Mital, the CMD of FCIL Shri Satish Chandra, CMD of RCF Shri R.G. Rajan, CMD of GAIL Shri B.C. Tripathi and CMD of CIL Shri S. Narsingh Rao were also present on the occasion.

What is a biometric identity card?
What is a biometric identity card?
This article introduces the basic technology of biometric identification systems.
Probably almost everybody knows that an identity card is a piece of cardboard or plastic that is shown to security guards, police officers, immigration staff. Cards are issued by all manner of organisations: universities issue them to staff and students, governments issue them to citizens, companies issue them to their staff. Most of these cards contain some basic details such as name, a photograph of the person's face and a reference number that allows the card to matched to some central record held by the card issuer. Some of the more sophisticated cards also contain magnetic strips or barcodes that can be used with other machines to unlock doors so that the card acts like a key.
A biometric identity card is similar to existing cards but will also contain biometric information.
What biometric information will be stored on the card?
The government has not yet been able to decide exactly what information will be stored. There are many issues to consider. Whatever measurement is chosen must be something that doesn't generally change, and that can be easily provided by most people, including disabled or elderly people. The most likely candidates are finger prints and images of the iris of the eye which, like fingerprints, are believed to be unique to each person.
First, merely issuing identification cards doesn't achieve anything ... identification cards only have any purpose if they are checked and used to control access to places and services.
Second, the information on the card has to be checked against some other list. Since that list will be stored on a computer it means that every use of the card can be monitored and traced and since that card is inextricably linked to you, that means that your activity can be monitored and you can be traced.
The prospective use, and inevitable misuse and abuse of the information is the reason that this web site exists and we invite you to read all the articles in order to understand fully the dangers of what the government is proposing. Biometric identification systems are not the benign tool of liberal and socialist governments that the UK government likes to claim. On the contrary, such systems would make an ideal tool with which to introduce tyranny and oppression and the British government is not somehow immune from such things.
We disagree entirely. In our opinion the creation and maintainence of the biometric identification system will be costly and complicated and will achieve none of the benefits that the government claims. Biometric identification systems cannot prevent terrorism, they will not prevent identity fraud, they will not prevent money laundering, they will not prevent illegal immigration.
However we do not think the system is merely useless and a huge waste of money; we also think it is extremely dangerous. In the United Kingdom peace and stability are maintained by a balance of power between the general population, the courts, the government and corporations. Biometric identification systems shift that balance of power firmly away from the general population and towards government, and history teaches us very clearly that when the balance of power shifts too much towards government then oppression, persecution and tyranny inevitably follow. Britain is not exempt from this pattern and if we wish to avoid tyranny in our own land then we need to ensure that the present balance of power is maintained.
We believe that biometric identification systems will create real and serious problems for the honest citizen and will be used by criminals and tyrants to their own advantage; our articles explain why ...

What is biometric information?
Put simply biometric information is information about a specific person's body. Hair colour and height are simple examples of biometric information. However for identification purposes hair colour and height are not very useful information because they change relatively rapidly (hair colour is changed by dye or by sunshine or by age; a person's height varies throughout the day according to the pressure on the spine). For identification purposes the most well known type of biometric information is the fingerprint; these are used because it is believed that no two people have the same patterns in the skin of their fingers and the patterns are relatively constant; they might change a little as a person gains or loses weight but the patterns remain recognisable. Another commonly used form of biometric information is DNA sequences. DNA is the biological code that is present in every cell in the body and that describes each individual person.How will biometric information be put on a card?
In the 21st century it is possible to store quite large amounts of information in very small spaces. The information can be stored on a microchip on the card or on a magnetic strip. These are the same technologies that have been used on credit cards for some years. The amount of storage space needed to describe a person's fingerprints can easily be stored on a small microchip and that microchip can quite easily be embedded into thin plastic like a credit card — this is the same sort of technology as is used on the “chip and pin” cards that UK banks have been issuing since about 2003.What biometric information will be stored on the card?
The government has not yet been able to decide exactly what information will be stored. There are many issues to consider. Whatever measurement is chosen must be something that doesn't generally change, and that can be easily provided by most people, including disabled or elderly people. The most likely candidates are finger prints and images of the iris of the eye which, like fingerprints, are believed to be unique to each person.
How will the information used once it is on the card?
The government has not had much to say about how the information will be used. Their silence is understandable because they know that the truth will be quite unpalatable to any sensible person who has more than a modicum of understanding of history. Two simple facts need to be understood:First, merely issuing identification cards doesn't achieve anything ... identification cards only have any purpose if they are checked and used to control access to places and services.
Second, the information on the card has to be checked against some other list. Since that list will be stored on a computer it means that every use of the card can be monitored and traced and since that card is inextricably linked to you, that means that your activity can be monitored and you can be traced.

On the contrary, such systems would make an ideal tool with which to introduce tyranny and oppression and the British government is not somehow immune from such things.
Should I be concerned, and if so why?
The Labour party UK government has been pressing for the introduction for several years and has given at least half a dozen different explanations as to why they are desirable or necessary. The UK government would like everybody to believe that biomemtric identitification systems are a good thing that will bring real benefits for the honest citizen and real problems for the criminal.We disagree entirely. In our opinion the creation and maintainence of the biometric identification system will be costly and complicated and will achieve none of the benefits that the government claims.
