Scientists and Engineers – Two Different Breeds

Last week I posted an article on Myths and Realities of Childhood education. On similar lines, I would like to bring out another important but neglected issue – titled as “Scientists and Engineers – two different breeds”.

A few years back when I was addressing a decent sized gathering organized by CII (Confederation of Indian Industries) at Ahmedabad, I coined and discussed this issue. We need to identify the gap and the difference in needs between the scientists and the engineers. Our syllabi is indifferent and our methods are inadequate to identify if a student is interested to become a scientist or an engineer. I’m not blaming the system, but am appealing to initiate the change that is long over due.

I would like to give a practical example that you can easily relate with. An electronics and tele communication engineer in their syllabi has Laplace transforms, Fourier series (study on waves and frequencies). They score very well in these subjects since they are mathematics oriented This is excellent, there is nothing wrong about it, but they do not understand the principles behind it. A few of these engineers had an opportunity or the need to use these theories in their 25 to 30 years of industrial experience. Surprisingly it won’t be beyond 1%. And these 1% are supposed to be scientists and not engineers. On the contrary, when I asked the gathering of engineering students and fresh engineers – how many of them knows to set up an oscilloscope to measure frequencies and what other test equipments are they familiar with – they could only bend their heads down. The inference from this example is that we waste our time in teaching same thing to two different sets of people whose needs are different and the impact is – we neither get excellent scientists nor practical engineers.

This calls for creation of specific courses to scientists and more practical courses to engineers. One may say that we have Bachelors and Masters of Science. Please note that the majority of this population is joining B.Sc or M.Sc., because they did not get their seats in engineering and so they opted for their B.Sc and M.Sc.

My recommendation is that we need a specific method to identify scientists in an early ageand have objective courses for them to bring in the scientists in them - which is the need of the century. Scientists and Engineers – they are two different breeds and let us not replace the absence of one with the other.

Please look forward to my next article on ‘Home schooling - Opportunities and Challenges’. Thanks and stay tuned..

Black Country T-shirts – How it All Began!

If you’ve seen people walking around areas like Dudley, Wolverhampton, Stourbridge, Tipton and Cradley Heath wearing t-shirts printed with words such as “Yow Cor Spake Propa”, “Ar Bay A Brummie, I’m from the Black Country”, and “You’m Avin a Loff”, then you probably wondered where they got them from.

Well, they’re from a website called TeetShirts – if you go to Google and search for them, you’ll find them straight away. There’s also a link at the bottom of this article to take you there.

TeetShirts was started in 2007 by a pair of schoolfriends Warren Smith and Steve Pitts. They were sat in their local pub one evening, talking about what they wanted to do with their lives, and then suddenly the idea of Black Country T-Shirts came to them. T-Shirts printed with slogans showing pride in the Black Country…. they quickly set up a shop and it took off in a big way, and very quickly.

As well as selling t-shirts bearing Black Country slogans, they also make t-shirts for stag and hen parties, staff uniforms, and birthdays & holidays. Whatever you need printed on a t-shirt, they can do!

The guys have also been featured on national radio and local television thanks to their Black Country Alphabet song, with a video featuring t-shirts with slogans such as “B is for Nana”, “H is for Oss”, “P is for Tateer” and “U is for Um”.

So, if you’re looking for an original gift idea, why not grab a Black Country T-shirt from TeetShirts!

not Poverty But Poor Shall be Finished

Not poverty but poor shall die

Dalip singh Wasan, Advocate.

In countries like India, we would not be able to root out poverty, but there are chances that the people who are poor shall be finished within the next two decades because they are not getting all the facilities of life, they are not getting clean and proper food, they are not getting proper house accommodation, they are not getting proper clothes, they are not getting proper treatment when they are ill and they are not being provided with old age pension and other securities which are most needed on old age and when one is ill or infirm.

We have noted that in all these six decades, the state could not provide proper education, proper training, proper work and proper earning capacity to the poor and that is the reason most of the children from poor families are still found at work, begging and collecting valuables from the garbage. What shall be the future of this generation and what shall be the position who were not given proper education, proper training and proper adjustment during the past six decades. These people shall live a life and they shall die only when they are ill or complete their age span provided by God and till that date our state shall have to bear them in this region. They shall not live a life nor they shall allow others to live a life and till they are alive, we the people of India would not be able to tell the world at large that we are progressing and we shall reach with those who are already attained the status of developed countries.

When no suitable actions had been taken in India to root out poverty, it seems the state is waiting for the time when the poor shall finish and we shall claim that we could root out poverty from India. This is not the proper method and had the state taken right steps from the very beginning, the things would have been otherwise. first of we should have put our whole wisdom on the conditions of the poor and we could have removed all those hurdles one by one and at this stage most of the poor people could have been upgraded. If people are illiterate, fault lies on us. If people are not having training in one of the trade as per national requirement, the fault lies on our part. If people are unemployed, the fault lies on our part. These are the three basics which should have got the first attention from our side, but we had been ignoring all these three basics and that is the reason, these three problems are still there and till these problems remain in this country we would never be able to set the things right and we would never be able to root out poverty from India.

We cannot say that there are no competent people who had been holding the charge of this country. There had been wise people, but somehow they could not adopt the right out-way and they too had been working with those who were not experts in all these lines nor they were having any interest in bettering the conditions of the people of this country.

The state, the society and the people of this country and also the people living in other countries where there are poor people, must decide the right course. If they go on the present way, there are no chances that they shall be able to root out poverty from their countries. However there are chances that the poor shall die and poverty shall be a thing of the past. But this is not the right way because the poor have played a very important role in the history of each country and they had been doing all the manual work which the rich could not do and they had been getting very meager wages for that work and had been living with those wages which kept them poor. We should better the condition of the poor people because they too are backbone of the nation and must remain alive because rich people can spend money, but they cannot do manual work which only the poor do and construct each item which turns a country as a developed country. The poor must live and with them a nation shall live. The people who could collect more money must realize that still they need poor people to guard their wealth and without them their own life is not safe.

Effects of Global Warming on Agriculture and Food Supply

For a long time it has been believed that the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply is going to be a positive one. This is because the rising level of carbon-dioxide resulted for global warming will help the greeneries for photosynthesis.

Thus there will be a rise of agricultural production and food supply. The theorem received a boost after the evidence of a sharp rise of barley production as one of the effects of global warming in Iceland which was quite impossible even few years ago.

But more recent experiments and researches have revealed that the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply are not that good after all. AN UNEP 2001 report on the global warming has predicted that USA is going to have more droughts, floods, landslides and storms.

Winter will gradually be shortened and sobered down, while summer will rise in expansion and severity. Along with this heavy rain, big storm, heavy snowfall, high sea level, increasing coastal erosion and other problems will occur.

Though as one of the effects of global warming, the overall food supply and production level is supposed to rise in USA, but the Great Plains will suffer with more droughts resulting for global warming.

Even now many effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply have been perceived. The popular maple syrup production of North east USA has diminished by 10%, moving its production zone to farther north for shorter and warmer winter.

On the other hand as one of the effects of global warming the south west USA is suffering from a water shortage which will increase in coming days. The zone has become dry for any standard agricultural production with an apprehension of resettling Dust Bowl of 1930s’ by the year 2030 for global warming.

Following a report of IPCC on the global warming, California’s snow covered Sierra Mountains can reduce in near future by up to 60-90%. This will create dire water shortage in summer, making the Central Valley area unsuitable for agricultural production for global warming. The State University of Colorado has declared that the area is going to be less productive due to effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply.

As the effects of global warming, the food supply production in Florida is going to suffer a lot due to frequent and large scale floods. Also one of the most profitable agricultural products of USA – corn will suffer a bad condition due to dry and hot atmosphere for global warming.

As another example of the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply – with the rise of temperature by 3 to 11 degrees in this century, the production rate of the main crops – the rice, corn, wheat, barley, soybeans and sorghum – will be cut down by 3-5% for each point rise of temperature for global warming.

However with all these effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply, new attempts have been made to adjust the agricultural and food production method according to the changing atmosphere. So to fight the effects of global warming, the researchers have established new methods of production with continuous revision of models. But still the best possible process to reduce the effects of global warming on agriculture and food supply is to be established.

Central San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot Of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

Central San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

As of this writing, the San Diego real estate markets appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. However, this premise may not hold true for all communities within San Diego, as median prices for some communities continue to rise while others fall.

While there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of homes from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the homes are above a particular price point, and half the homes are below a particular price point. The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.

The data below is a comparison of median prices for various communities in central San Diego County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below. For some of the San Diego communities presented below, very few homes sold during June 2006, which diminishes the usefulness of the median price metric.

COMMUNITIES WITH INCREASES IN MEDIAN PRICE – SINGLE FAMILY HOMES – JUNE 2006

The data below pertains only to the sales of single-family homes, and does not include condominiums or townhomes. The data is organized by the magnitude of change in median price, with the highest change in median price presented first.

For the Coronado real estate market, the median price was ,775,000, which represents a 14.7% increase from the same time last year. Approximately 15 homes sold in June 2006 (21 homes sold in June 2005).

For the Point Loma real estate market, the median price was ,024,068, which represents an 11.4% increase from the same time last year. Approximately 20 homes sold in June 2006 (14 homes sold in June 2005).

For the University City (UTC) real estate market, the median price was 0,000, which represents a 10.6% increase from the same time last year. Approximately 5 homes sold in June 2006 (19 homes sold in June 2005).

ADVISORY

Homebuyers and home sellers should keep in mind that the data above is simply a snapshot in time, and is not conclusive of the pricing trends for any community. For some communities presented above, very few homes were sold during June 2006, which makes the use of the median price metric of limited value. The data must be evaluated over a longer duration, and involve multiple metrics to fully understand enduring market trends. Contact your Realtor to obtain information about enduring market trends for any given community.

A rock climbing guide could really get you every thing you need to know about rock climbing, in case this would be your first attempt. The common things that you need to be fit and physically strong; the oxygen level as you go higher would decreases; the higher you go the temperature would decrease etc would be known to all. But a rock climbing guide would tell you so many more things that you possibly couldn’t have known otherwise. Let’s face is though rock climbing is exciting and adventurous but the fact that it is a dangerous sport can’t be denied. This is why it becomes indispensable for you to have a rock climbing guide as you decide to experience the thrill. There could be so many unanticipated concerns or situations that might raise their head, but if you would have a rock climbing guide to your side you would know how to fix that and pass on.

In the Bible versus the Quran: the Moon Stood Still at the Light of the Arrows

The Moon is mentioned in the Bible 41 times, 32 times in the Old Testament and nine times in the New Testament. The Moon is mentioned in the Noble Quran 25 times

In the Bible, Habakkuk 3:11 says that the sun and moon stood still in their places at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.

In the Quran, Verse 35:13 says that Allah subdued the light of the sun and the moon to the service of human beings; and He has disposed the sun and the moon, each, of them, is moving, in its course, to an appointed term; to the Day of Resurrection.

———————————————–

Habakkuk 3:11 in four different versions of the Bible:

New International Version

11 Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, at the lightning of your flashing spear.

New American Standard Bible

11 Sun and moon stood in their places; They went away at the light of Your arrows, At the radiance of Your gleaming spear.

English Standard Version

11 The sun and moon stood still in their place at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.

King James Version

11The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.

——-

The meaning of the verse:

Sun and Moon stopped in their tracks; your flashing arrows stopped them; your lightning-strike spears impaled them.

In other words, the verse says that the sun and moon stood still in their habitation at the light of your arrows as they sped, at the flash of your glittering spear.

It should be emphasized that the bible (Joshua 10) says also that the sun and the moon stood still for 24 hours in order to give Joshua the chance to kill thousands of kids, girls, women, young men and old men.

See the article: The Moon in the Bible versus the Quran (1) in this series (1-10).

———————————————–

Chapter 35: FATIR (THE ANGELS)

Verse 35:13 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:

QARIB: he causes the night to enter into the day and the day into the night. he has subjected the sun and the moon each running for a named term. such is Allah, your lord. to him belongs the kingdom; and those whom you call upon, other than him, do not possess even as much as the membrane of a date-stone.

SHAKIR: he causes the night to enter in upon the day, and he causes the day to enter in upon the night, and he has made subservient (to you) the sun and the moon; each one follows its course to an appointed time; this is Allah, your lord, his is the kingdom; and those whom you call upon besides him do not control a straw.

PICKTHAL: he maketh the night to pass into the day and he maketh the day to pass into the night. he hath subdued the sun and moon to service. each runneth unto an appointed term. such is Allah, your lord; his is the sovereignty; and those unto whom ye pray instead of him own not so much as the white spot on a date-stone.

YUSUFALI: he merges night into day, and he merges day into night, and he has subjected the sun and the moon (to his law): each one runs its course for a term appointed. such is Allah your lord: to him belongs all dominion. and those whom ye invoke besides him have not the least power.

——-

The meaning of the verse:

Allah makes the night pass, enter, into the day, so that it becomes longer, and He makes the day pass into the night, so that it becomes longer.

Allah subdued the light of the sun and the moon to the service of human beings.  And He has disposed the sun and the moon, each, of them, is moving, in its course, to an appointed term; to the Day of Resurrection.

That is Allah, your Lord; to Him all sovereignty belongs.

It is Allah, your Lord, Who does so, not the deities;

His is the Sovereignty, the Storehouses of the universe

As for those on whom you call, whom you worship, besides Allah, in other words, other than Him, they do not possess even so much as the husk of a date-stone.

In other words, those unto whom you pray, those whom you worship instead of Allah, they are unable to own of all that even the white spot on a date stone, i.e., they possess nothing.

Back to my question for the smart reader:

Is the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Missy Higgins Where I stood Music Video www.missyhiggins.com www.myspace.com Where I Stood I don’t know what I’ve done Or if I like what I’ve begun But something told me to run And honey you know me it’s all or none There were sounds in my head Little voices whispering That I should go and this should end Oh and I found myself listening ‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood See I thought love was black and white That it was wrong or it was right But you ain’t leaving without a fight And I think I am just as torn inside ‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood And I won’t be far from where you are if ever you should call You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you This is what I have to do ‘Cos I don’t know who I am, who I am without you All I know is that I should And I don’t know if I could stand another hand upon you All I know is that I should ‘Cos she will love you more than I could She who dares to stand where I stood Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood
