Low IQ may prove harmful for your heart

February 16, 2010 in Featured, Health by teenugupta

IQ is the strongest predictor of the heart diseases, after smoking. This has been reported by the Britain’s Medical Search Council. People with the lower intelligence scores- as reflected by the low results on written or oral tests of IQ- had higher rates of heart diseases and death than all other risk factors except smoking, it was found. The study revealed risk factors which include obesity and high cholesterol, were not part of the top five risk factors. The top five risk factors include smoking, low IQ, low income, high systolic and low physical activity.

The data about 1,145 men and women was collected who aged around 55. Data was collected for height, weight, blood pressure, smoking, habits’ , physical activity, education and occupation, while IQ was assessed using a standard test of general intelligence. IQ is not inherited and it often indicates inequalities in social status, education and experience. People with lower IQ are more likely to be less educated. It underlines the need to fast track the health literacy, not only in urban areas but also in rural areas.

Thoughts on Tax Saving, ELSS, Investment In Shares by C C Hadke

January 26, 2010 in Featured, Finance by admin

Question :

Instead of investing from April in ELSS, Every year I am investing in shares through out the year. Then at the end of the year, selling some of the stocks( Amount required for tax saving) and investing this amount into ELSS. Can anyone suggest if this is correct or its better to invest in the MF (ELSS) from the beginning ?
Answer :
It appears that  you have saving habit, either in share or MF. Your ideas is better for your convenience which may not be applicable to every investor. He may not have enough money right from fresh financial year beginning from April.
At you buy shares from April till 11 months is not necessary that you will have assured return. In order to gain profit, the time of purchase must be when Sensex is at bear phase/down market. If you have purchased shares when Sensex is high. Then at verge of completion of 11 months, you wont be able to get profit, rather you will see your principle amount turn negative due to volatility in market. Your assumption that in span of 11 months, you will get substantial profit and the same will be invested in ELSS scheme. This is tentative calculation, but not assured calculation that you will certainly make profit within11 months.
I would like to suggest better option that after investing regularly for 11 months, you can still hold and continue investing on regular basis in share your  for 2nd year and 3rd year also, in SIP by SIP fashsion. Take precaution i.e. invest less amount when market is high and more when market gets corrected. Invest in diversified fashion. i.e. Dont put all eggs in one basket. By doing so, you can see some shares are minus and some in plus within a span of 1 year and at completion of 3 years you will see the amount is quite appreciated, may be double. Please dont buy weak/penny shares. Always select good shares to buying. No matter the rates are high but they are cheap. For instance, buy RIL Rs 1084/-, ONGC Rs 1221/-, L&T Rs 1579/-. Those prices are high, but in actual they are cheap, because they have high potential for appreciation due to their performance, EPS, Book value, P/E ratio, perennial demand. These shares have bonus issue chances and value appreciation substantially as well. Whereas weak/penny shares dont appreciate for years together. Sometimes due to no demand, or heavy losses, debt, these shares get disappeared from market. As such, investor’s money would be totally lost for ever. Thus small value/ penny shares are not cheap but absurd/expensive. This psychological point must be kept in mind while investing in shares.
As far as possible, let us buy govt. PSU company’s shares. These shares do not come down heavily as compared to other shares during market crash. Hence you can buy share e.g. ONGC in small lot i.e. 10 shares @ 1221/- = Rs 12,210/- or if not, you can buy 5 shares. Minimum 1 share can also be bought.
Making money on share market is an art of Wisdom and Patience. i.e. Wisdom means selection of good/blue chip shares for buying (as stated  in above para). Patience means – hold the share for at-least 3 years or more or till heavy market rally arrives. If we hold share for 10 years, then the share can fetch substantial return to make you rich. And if you stay invested for long time SIP by SIP, you will have a great financial asset, which can make possible for you to seek retirement before 5 years at your discretion.
After investing in shares next 6 months to 1 year is quite tension-prone because of turning the value negative, due to buying of shares at wrong time i.e. when Sensex is at very high level. So, the most fundamental thing depends upon when an investor takes entry into market. Hence it is prudent to buy shares when market is low. Or invest in small amount during high and more amount during low market. Once invested, hold the share for long term horizon i.e. for 3 years or more.
If you understand this point, then you need not go for ELSS. Before 3 year I bought ELSS “Reliance Taxsaver” @NAV Rs 14/-. Now at verge of completion of 3 years, the same is quoting NAV Rs 18/-. So, I don’t get much appreciation in ELSS at completion of 3 years on 31.3.2010. ELSS is also just like share. The same also depends upon share market up and down i.e. goes up slowly in up market, but goes down sharply when market is down. So, I have a bad experience in ELSS. We have to wait for very very long time for appreciation in ELSS or MFs. Whereas, shares are fairly appreciated within the same span of time as ELSS or MFs do.
It depends upon risk-taking appetite of an individual investors (There is no risk if hod shares on long term basis). However, in long run i.e. after 5 years, Equity shares of good companies beat ELSS, MFs, Bank FD, KVP, NSC modes and etc. if invested wisely in good shares.
Why I write all these so confidently, because I have completed my share holding  tenure  for more than 10 years.  As such I have earned a huge amount of parallel asset, as if, I had earned like side business with Wisdom and Patience and  passion of investment as well. I dont sell shares for mere making profit, but unless I have badly need of money in crisis to meet family need. Then, I dont see what is the current market value. Of course, I get good value with substantial profit due to holding tenure completed for more than 5 years. Preferably I sell the shares which dont give me substantial return despite my long years holding.
Investing in shares on regular basis and staying for long 5 year or 10 years or more, is itself a good financial planning, is itself a side business which fetch a huge amount of money at verge of retirement. With this there will be no tension in terms of money at retirement. Our share corpus will fetch us regular dividend income, bonus shares, right issue benefit, split up benefit etc. apart from value appreciation. You see, my ONGC share where I had invested 15 years ago in emplyee quota  i.e. during 1995 with Rs 40K, now the market value is Rs 13L. and so are the other shares which have grown correspondingly with holding period. During crisis, I had mortaged the ONGC shares and meet the financial crisis. Subsequently I repaid the mortage loan in monthly installments for 3 years and got back my share asset from the loan bank. Thus automatically, my holding time of shares have increased and the share value got substantially appreciated. This is also good idea to raise money in crisis without selling shares, which are the FINANCIAL TRUMP CARDS OF LIFE.
Intially, I made lot of mistakes. I learned from mistakes as such mistakes got minimized. Thus I have hitherto completed 2 decade around in this field and as such, I always share my experiences with our people, though they differ with me, for I wont mind.
So, I must say “Share market is not a gambling table, but it is a sort of tree whose seed is now sown and see the growth into tree with passage of years”. This point I always wanted to emphasis upon our new investors, though many people do not agree with me on this point.

Adding a Gutter for a Bound Document in MS Word 2007

January 25, 2010 in Computer, Featured by Rashmi

When you print a document, you often have to “bind” the documents in some way. This can be as simple as inserting the pages in a two- or three-ring binder or adding vertical stables down the side of the document stack, or a more professional binding job where the pages are glued together at the edges. Whatever type of binding you require, you end up using a fair amount of space on the inner edge of each page to accommodate  the binding. This can create a problem if you use standard margins because the binding might use up all or most of the inner margin and this can make the text difficult to read.

The solution to this problem is to designate a gutter, which is extra space outside of the margin that is set aside to handle the binding. In most cases, the gutter appears to left of the document’s left margin (that is, the gutter extends from the leftmost edge of the page to the beginning of the left margin).

Follow these steps to add a gutter to your document :

  1. Choose Page Layout, Margins, Custom Margin. Word displays the Margins tab of the Page Setup dialog box.
  2. Use the Gutter spin box to set the size of the gutter, in inches.
  3. Use the Gutter Position list to click Left or Top.
  4. (Optional) If your document will be printed on both the sides of the paper, then you need gutter on the left side of the odd-numbered pages and on the right side of the even-numbered pages. The easiest way to set this up is to use mirrored margins, which means that the margins ( and also the gutter) used on odd pages are the mirror opposite of the margins ( and gutter) used n even pages. in the Multiple Page list, click Mirror Margins. The Preview section shows the position of the gutter or gutters (see figure)
  5. In the Apply To list, make sure the Whole Document is selected.
  6. Click OK. Word applies the gutter to the document.

Viewing Two Documents Side by Side

January 25, 2010 in Computer, Featured by Rashmi

When you share a document with another person, you usually turn on revision marks, so that you can see the changes the other person makes. Unfortunately, it often happens that the other person accidentally turns off revision marks before or in the middle of editing so that  you can no longer easily see the changes he made. In the past, this meant opening the two versions and then switching from one window to another or trying to arrange the documents, so that you could see both at once.

Word 2007 helps you avoid this extra work by offering a new View Side By Side feature, which arranges the document windows so that you can easily compare the two files. Here’s how it works :

  1. Open the two documents you want to compare and make one of them the active document.
  2. Choose View, View Side by Side. Word displays the Compare Side By Side dialog box.
  3. Click the other document you want to use and then click OK. Word arranges the two windows side by side, as shown in figure.

The View Side  By Side feature includes synchronous scrolling, which means that as you scroll up or down ( or even side by side) in one document, Word scrolls in the same direction and by the same amount in the other document. If you find this distracting, you can turn it off by choosing View, Window, Synchronous Scrolling

You can get Word to help you compare the two documents. Choose Review, Compare, Compare to open the Compare Documents dialog box. Use the Original Document list to specify the original document and use the Revised Document list to select the document with changes. If you want to specify what changes to look for, click More and use the check boxes to modify the Comparison Settings. Click OK, and Word opens a Compare Result window, which includes the Original Document pane, the Revised Document pane, the Reviewing Pane with a list of the changes and a Compared Document pane that combines the changes into a single document.

Computerized System In Accounting Process

January 25, 2010 in Education, Featured by Prakash

By now the most of them would be familiar with the concepts of accounting and how
different methods of accounting are to be adopted in different situations. We can have a look
into accounting in a computerized environment. The first and foremost thing to remember is that the fundamentals of accounting does not change whether books of account are maintained manually or are computerised.

The same principles of debit and credit that we apply for recording income or expenditure, purchase or sale of assets or creation or discharge of liability in a manual accounting system is equally applicable in a computerised environment. However, since the recording medium is something else compared to hard copy documents and considerable reliance have to be placed on the software for the input, processing and output of the data certain precautions,
methodologies and techniques are to be adopted while maintaining accounts in a
computerised environment.

The most important factors of COMPUTERISED ACCOUNTING SYSTEM are,

1.The processing of financial information will be by one or more computers
2.The computer or computers may be operated by the entity or by a third party
3.The processing of financial information by the computer is done with the help
of one ormore computer software
4.A computer software includes any program or routine that performs a desired
function or set of functions and the documentation required to describe and
maintain that program or routine.
5.The computer software used for the accounting system may be an acquired
software or may be developed for the business.
6.Outsourcing of the accounting system is also becoming popular
where an organisation is having the financial accounting processed
from a third party

With computers becoming extensively used in business today, it is obvious that
accounts which were earlier maintained in a manual form will be gradually replaced with
computerized accounts. The speed with which accounts can be maintained is several fold
higher.Hope the Computerized system should be enabled in all process and systems in future.

Thanks.

SQL*Plus

January 17, 2010 in Computer, Featured by Rashmi

SQL*Plus has been around as long as the Oracle RDBMS itself. It is the most basic tool available for connecting to the database and executing queries against the tables in a database. On Unix systems, it can be run in character-based mode, even on a dumb terminal connected to the Unix system via a serial port.

The “Plus” part of SQL*Plus defines some of the extra functionality available above and beyond executing SQL statements and returning the results. Some of this functionality is proprietary to SQL*Plus and may not be available in non-Oracle database environments. Here are some of the things you can do using SQL*Plus:

  • Define headers and footers for reports.
  • Rename columns in the report output.
  • Prompt users for values to be substituted into the query.
  • Retrieve the structure of a table.
  • Save the results of the query to a file.
  • Copy entire tables between databases using only one command.

While many other tools surpass SQL*Plus in functionality as well as in look and feel, those other tools don’t help much when the database is down and all you have is a character-based terminal emulator connection to your Unix server! No matter which environment you’re in—Unix, Windows, minicomputer, or mainframe—SQL*Plus will always be there and have the same look and feel across all of those environments.

Under the various versions of Microsoft Windows, SQL*Plus runs as a Windows application and as a command-line application. The Windows functionality available in the Windows SQL*Plus session includes those features normally available in a Windows text-based editor: cutting and pasting text strings, searching for text in the session window, and saving or loading the last command executed. The Windows version also allows you to change the SQL*Plus environment settings using a GUI dialog box or through the command line. The GUI dialog box is accessible from SQL*Plus by selecting Options Environment.

You’ll need to log on with a valid username and password to initiate a SQL*Plus session, as shown below. You’ll also need to enter a host string value. The Host string is an alias to a set of parameters, such as the name, address, protocol type, and port number of the Oracle database to which you want to connect. The database may be on the same machine that is running the SQL*Plus client tool, or it may be on a different host machine on the network. For the purposes of this book, all database connections will use the rac0 host string.

Host String:- A text string that represents a shortcut or reference to a set of parameters that provide the information needed to connect to a database host from the client application.

Note:- Your default Oracle installation may not have the user SCOTT enabled, or the password may have been changed from the default TIGER. Check with your local DBA to see if this is the case.

The user SCOTT owns a number of database tables, including the DEPT table, which contains a list of all the department numbers, department names, and department locations. The SQL SELECT statement allows you to extract information from a database. The example below shows a SELECT statement that retrieves all of the rows in the DEPT table (select * from dept;) and its results.

Notice that the case of the keywords and column names is important only for readability. In practice, you can enter them in any case. To enhance this sample query, let’s do the following:

  • Add a report title of “Department Report” using the TTITLE SQL*Plus command.
  • Change the headers for each of the columns to make them more readable using the COLUMN SQL*Plus command.
  • Save the output from the query to a file using the SQL*Plus SPOOL command.

The sequence of SQL*Plus commands, the SQL statement, and the results from the command are as follows:

SQL> ttitle “Department Report”

SQL> column deptno heading “Department|Number”

SQL> column dname heading “Department|Name”

SQL> column loc heading “City|Location”

SQL> spool c:\temp\deptrept.txt

SQL> /

Tue Aug 13                                                                   page 1
                              Department Report

   Department        Department        City
     Number           Name           Location
     ---------- -------------- -------------
         10        ACCOUNTING        NEW YORK
         20        RESEARCH          DALLAS
         30        SALES             CHICAGO
         40        OPERATIONS        BOSTON

SQL> spool off
SQL>
Notice that we didn't type in the entire SELECT statement again. Instead, we used the / SQL*Plus command, which reruns the last complete SQL statement executed.

SQL*Plus commands differ from SQL statements in that they don't need a semicolon at the end (although SQL*Plus commands can be terminated with a semicolon without SQL*Plus complaining about it). SQL statements can be written across many lines without any type of continuation character; they are complete whenever you type a semicolon or use the SQL*Plus / command. SQL*Plus commands must be contained entirely on one line, unless the - continuation character is used at the end of each line. The example below shows how the SQL*Plus continuation character is used:
SQL> column deptno heading -
> "Department|Number"

How to use Mail Merge with MS Access Database as Data Source

January 17, 2010 in Computer, Featured by Rashmi

Mail Merge is one of the useful features of MS Word. Mail Merge allows you to create a MS Word document that contains special merge fields and combines this document with a data source. The data source replaces the merge fields with real data.

For example, if you want to inform all the customers of your company about a discount, you will use the same body  text and then insert names and addresses from the Customer table of your MS Access database.

PayLessGainMore is offering a discount on its products and wants to send letters to all its customers. Each letter should have the first name, last name, mailing address, state & zip code of customers based on a generic document. Greg wants to use Mail  Merge for this purpose. He wants to use the Customer table of the database as the data source.

Here are the Steps :

  1. To open the MS Word Mail Merge Wizard box in MS Access 2007, select the Customer table from the PayLessGainMore database and select External Data option from the menu on top .Go to More tab and select Merge it with Microsoft Office Word option.
  2. The Microsoft Word Mail Merge Wizard will open up. To create a new document and link the data to it, chose the Create a new document and then link the data to it option.

3.   To insert the database fields in the new document, select the Mailings option from the menu  & in that, select the Insert Merge Fields tab to select the desired fields and then click Finish & Merge tab.

4.    To view the other records in the merge document, you can use the record locator button on the toolbar as displayed in this figure :

Generating Search Box Code

January 16, 2010 in Business, Featured by sonu

Life doesn’t always demand stark choices. It’s not as if you can get only chocolate or vanilla ice cream. In fact, throw in strawberry, and you have Neapolitan, the ice cream for indecisive folks everywhere.

The same principle applies to AdSense for Search versus AdSense for Content on your site — there’s no reason you can’t have both. AdSense for Content works well in and around your articles and other printed content, and an AdSense for Search box at the beginning of the page (or end of the page or in a blank space on the page) works pretty well, too. The results from the search box can add to your AdSense income; although if I were you, I wouldn’t rely on the search box alone to generate income for your site.

My advice to you: Go with a combination of both content ads and the search box.

With that out of the way, it’s time to do some code slinging. I start out withb the AdSense for Search code, just because today is Tuesday.  Keep in mind, though, that all the AdSense ad formats are created in about the same way. You work through the wizard, copy the text, and paste it into the HTML on your Web site. Pretty simple, in other words. You’ll probably spend more time debating

where to put your search box than you’ll spend actually dealing with the code.

To create a search box for your Web site:

1. Point your browser to

www.adsense.com, log on to your AdSense account, and click the AdSense Setup tab.2. In the Setup tab, select the AdSense for Search option.

Doing so calls up the AdSense for Search Wizard.

3. On the top of the first wizard page, as shown in Figure  , select either the Google WebSearch option or the Google WebSearch + SiteSearch option.

WebSearch allows visitors to search the Web for additional information whereas WebSearch + SiteSearch allows users to search up to three Web sites that you specify in addition to the whole Web.

4. If you select WebSearch + SiteSearch, a new form appears in the wizard, as shown in Figure  Fill in the Web addresses of the sites you wish to allow visitors to search in the appropriate text boxes.

If you select WebSearch, you can skip to Step 5.In most cases, those sites will be your own sites, but you can select anyb  sites you like. You also don’t have to enter three sites — one or two are fine if that’s your preference.

5. Scroll down to the middle of the page, as shown in Figure , and then choose your search box style. Each of the options has a preview that appears when you select that option. You can choose to move the Google logo above the search box, or to remove it completely and place it on the search button. Another available option is to move the search button down below the text field of the search box

If you choose the SiteSearch option, enter the Web  sites to be searched

6. From the drop-down menus at the bottom of the wizard page, select the default language for search results.

There are 30 — count ’em, 30 — options besides English.

7. Choose the type of page encoding that your Web site uses from the options in the drop-down menu provided.

8. In the final drop-down menu on the wizard page, select the country you’re in so Google knows which domain to search from. After you make your selection, click the Continue button

Google into properties and ready to set in U.K

December 6, 2009 in Business, Computer, Featured, Finance, General by Sharit Kalia

After setting its routes already in Australia , Google is set to take over the estate properties of U.K.

This service allows all the estate agents and the private seller would be able to pin mark their properties on Google mapping services as street view pictures and giving the essential details and the offerings regarding the property.Now there would not be a problem finding a real estate agent to get you with the best offerings.Now just go on to Google maps and fins yourself locations and property of your own liking.Though this service will start next year in mid 2010.But it is working already in Australia.

Edward Mead – sales director for Douglas & Gordon estate agents – said that the new system would be a win-win situation for both Google and estate agents.

“The technology to do this is already in place and estate agents are a little busier these days, although transactions are still fifty per cent down on what they once were.

“So this service, which is free, will appeal to estate agents’ cost-cutting nature and given that sixty per cent of agents are one-off traders, this will have serious appeal.”

The best thing about Google is that its constant flow of new applications day to day and taking over the existing top one’s.Google is currently one of the world’s largest company giving the highest employment and income group.

Using blocked chinese phone?Want an IMEI number?

December 2, 2009 in Business, Featured, Gadgets, General, Technology, science by narne

Using a blocked Chinese phone!! No need to be tensed. Here’s a legal way to make it legal. Want to know how? Read on to know!!!!

Unbranded, IMEI-less Chinese handsets in India went offline two days ago after mobile operators decided to block access to all such handsets to their networks. This was done following a DoT (Department of Telecommunications) directive.

If you’re one amongst the estimated 25 million users with such phones and wish to have the phone in working condition again, (in case yours went offline as well) there is a legal way of doing it. The government has authorized some organizations to legalize your illegal handsets by assigning an approved IMEI number to it. The GII (Genuine IMEI Implant) program involves a short trip to the nearest GII outlet, paying a nominal Rs. 199 fee to have your phone legalized.

In major cities, you can visit The MobileStore outlets to get this done. You might also want to contact your operator if they have arranged for any such facilities. For those interested in The MobileStore program, all you need to do is to call 6000 63 63 to figure out the nearest outlet where your Chinese phone can get a new lease of life.
