POWER in india has to be improved

India has been a power deficit country for over 2 decades
and analysts are expecting a capacity addition of 50 GW against the
planned 78GW in the Eleventh Plan.
Due to the power deficit, short-term and merchant power rates have
been very high.
we can take a look at what’s happening in the power sector
in India:
Deficient Power
Median base load deficit of 8% and median peak load deficit of 13%
Country's power consumption to GDP growth at 0.94 x
With GDP growth likely to moderate, power demand to follow suit
Demand Slowdown?
Lower power generation and trading volume because of supply
constraints and not due to demand slowdown
Slowdown in generation owing to lower gas and water availability
Power trading volumes down as states temporarily barred distribution
utilities from trading power
Trading companies were barred to provide for lesser power cuts in the
pre-elections phase
Funding issues
Equity funding for private projects is difficult
Financing for new projects to be constrained by RBI’s exposure limits
for banks toward the power sector
Planning Commission is requesting RBI to relax exposure limits for
banks toward the power sector
Borrowing costs are likely to fall below 11% very soon
Execution Concerns
Execution rates for new power plants to improve in FY10
Generation projects have faced execution delays due to capacity
constraints at equipment suppliers mainly BHEL
Shortage of good erection and commissioning agencies and land
acquisition are still issues
What the new govt means
Implementation of CERC’s favourable tariff policy
Government’s near term focus will be on bulk ordering by NTPC
Some power cos could look at disinvestment
Power projects coming up will be greater need for transmission
capacity
as of now top most power companies are
NTPC
SUZLION POWER
RELIANCE POWER
J.P. POWER

do u know that............

Colonel Sanders, at age 65, with a beat-up car and a $100 check from Social Security realized he had to do something. He remembered his mother's recipe and went out selling. How many doors did he have to knock on before he got his first order? It is estimated that he had knocked on more than a thousand doors before he got his first order. How many of us quit after three tries, ten tries, a hundred tries, and then we say we tried as hard as we could? Colonel sanders is the one who established KFC{ Kentucky Fried Chicken}

If you study history, you will find that all stories of success are also stories of great
failures. But people don't see the failures. They only see one side of the picture and they say that person got lucky: "He must have been at the right place at the right time." Let me share someone's life history with you. This was a man who failed in business at the age of 21 ; was defeated in a legislative race at age 22; failed again in business at age 24; overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26; had a nervous breakdown at age 27; lost a congressional race at age 34; lost a senatorial race at age 45; failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47; lost a senatorial race at age 49; and was elected president of the United States at age 52.
This man was Abraham Lincoln.

As a young cartoonist, Walt Disney faced many rejections from newspaper editors, who said he had no talent. One day a minister at a church hired him to draw some cartoons. Disney was working out of a small mouse infested shed near the church. After seeing a small mouse, he was inspired. That was the start of Mickey Mouse.
In 1914, Thomas Edison, at age 67, lost his factory, which was worth a few million
dollars, to fire. It had very little insurance. No longer a young man, Edison watched his lifetime effort go up in smoke and said, "There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burnt up. Thank God we can start anew." In spite of disaster, three weeks later, he invented the phonograph. What an attitude!

Successful people don't do great things, they only do small things in a great way.
One day a partially deaf four year old kid came home with a note in his pocket from histeacher, "Your Tommy is too stupid to learn, get him out of the school." His mother read the note and answered, "My Tommy is not stupid to learn, I will teach him myself." And that Tommy grew up to be the great Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison had only three months of formal schooling and he was partially deaf.

Wilma Rudolph was born into a poor home in Tennessee. At age four, she had double pneumonia with scarlet fever, a deadly combination which left her paralyzed with polio. She had to wear a brace and the doctor said she would never put her foot on the earth. But her mother encouraged her; she told Wilma that with God-given ability, persistence and faith she could do anything she wanted. Wilma said, "I want to be the fastest woman on the track on this earth." At the age of nine, against the advice of the doctors, she removed the brace and took the first step the doctors had said she never would. At the age of 13, she entered her first race and came way, way last. And then she entered her second, and third and fourth and came way, way last until a day came when she came in first.
At the age of 15 she went to Tennessee State University where she met a coach by the name of Ed Temple. She told him, "I want to be the fastest woman on the track on this earth." Temple said, "With your spirit nobody can stop you and besides, I will help you." The day came when she was at the Olympics and at the Olympics you are matched with the best of the best. Wilma was matched against a woman named Jutta Heine who had never been beaten. The first event was the 100-meter race. Wilma beat Jutta Heine and won her first gold medal. The second event was the 200-meter race and Wilma beat Jutta a second time and won her second gold medal. The third event was the 400-meter relay and she was racing against Jutta one more time. In the relay, the fastest person always runs the last lap and they both anchored their teams. The first three people ran and changed the baton easily. When it came to Wilma's turn, she dropped the baton. But Wilma saw Jutta shoot up at the other end; she picked the baton, ran like a machine, beat Jutta a third time and won her third gold medal. It became history: That a paralytic woman became the fastest woman on this earth at the 1960 Olympics.

Coke then researched 40,000 Chinese characters and found a close phonetic equivalent: Ko-Kou-Ko-Le, which can be roughly translated as "happiness in the mouth." (have you seen what it can do to teeth?).
In some countries, on the bottom of Coke bottles it says "OPEN OTHER END."

Colgate
Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a notorious porno magazine.
Coors
Coors the American brewer lost its fizz in Spain when their hip phrase "Turn It Loose" came out as "Get Diarrhea".

General Motors
"Body by Fisher", boasted the auto giant General Motors. "Corpse by Fisher" was how the Belgians read it.
General Motors
When General Motors introduced the Chevy Nova in South America, it was apparently unaware that "no va" means "it won't go." After the company figured out why it wasn't selling any cars, it renamed the car in its Spanish markets to the Caribe.
Gerber
When Gerber first started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the USA -- with a cute baby on the label. Later they found out that in Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what is inside since many people cannot read!

Parker Pens
When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to say "It won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you." However, the company mistakenly thought the spanish word embarazar meant "embarrass." Instead, the ads said that "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant!"
Pepsi
Not to be outdone by Coke when Pepsi started a marketing campaign in Taiwan, the translation of the Pepsi slogan "Come Alive with the Pepsi Generation" came out as "Pepsi will bring your ancestors back from the dead."

Purdue
Chicken-man Frank Purdue's slogan, "It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken," got badly mangled in a Spanish translation. A photo of Purdue with one of his birds appeared on billboards all over Mexico with a caption that translated as "It takes a hard man to make a chicken affectionate."

Rowenta
On packaging for a Rowenta iron - DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.
Sainsbury
On a packet of their peanuts - WARNING - CONTAINS NUTS.

Sharwoods

When sharwoods launched its latest product range in the UK earlier this month, it promised the "deliciously rich" sauces based on a traditional northern Indian method of cooking would "change the way consumers make curry". So confident was Sharwoods that its new 'Bundh' sauces would be a hit that it backed the launch with a huge £6 million ($14.2 million) television advertising campaign.
What it failed to foresee was that "bundh" in Punjabi has an altogether less savoury meaning - the nearest English translation being, to put it bluntly, "arse".

A famous drug company marketed a new remedy in the United Arab Emirates. To avoid any mistakes they used pictures. The first picture was of someone ill, the next picture showed the person taking the medication, the last picture showed them looking well. What they forgot is that in the Arab world people read from right to left!

An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market that promoted a visit by Pope John Paul II. Instead of "I saw the Pope (el Papa)", the shirts read "I saw the potato (la papa)".

In his entertaining book Native tongues (London: Panther Books, 1984), Charles Berlitz relates an incident involving Soviet Prime Minister Nikita Krushchev when he visited the USA and the UN. During an interview on US television, the interviewer using an idiom to indicate that he thought the Soviet leader's statements were not logical, said that Krushchev was 'barking up the wrong tree.'
Krushchev's interpreter had some difficulty finding an equivalent Russian expression and told Krushchev that the interviewer had said he was 'baying like a hound.'
Krushchev was not amused, and quite a bit of explanation was needed before the misunderstanding was cleared up and the Soviet leader regained his calm.

Ex Chancellor Helmut Kohl was famous for his mediocre English. Rumour has it that he once addressed Magaret Thatcher, the former British Prime Minister, with the words: "You can say you to me".

DON'T SHOWOFF
A young executive with poor self-esteem was promoted but he couldn't reconcile himself to his new office and position. There was a knock at his door. To show how important and busy he was, he picked up the phone and then asked the visitor to come in. As the man waited for the executive, the executive kept talking on the phone, nodding and saying, "No problem, I can handle that." After a few minutes he hung up and asked the visitor what he could do for him. The man replied, "Sir, I'm here to connect your phone."

global warming

Yoh, let's talk about the Earth, really talk about survival
We can talk about the Poles where the cold is unrivaled
The Arctic, top of the world, got people and polar bears,
Antarctica, crazy penguins6 chillin’ down there

Miles and miles of ice and glaciers
But something ain’t straight with our polar neighbors

It’s a change in the climate, a change in the weather
It's heating up now but it’s not for the better.
See, the heat comes down from the Sun to the Earth
But now the heat can't escape, it just can’t disperse

Cos of carbon dioxide from power plants and factories
Cars and trucks, so much more than you can find naturally
So the Poles get warm, and the Earth gets hotter
All that necessary ice melts down into water


And the impact, the sad fact, is it can only escalate,
So – for real – we gotta act now, before it's too late

GLOBALWARMING HOAX
The most devastating and compelling argument in the world today is global warming. There is a huge melting of ice at the poles causing the level of sea water to rise. Several hurricanes have attacked the world in the past decades claiming lives of innocent people which are the acts of Global Warming. Well let’s take a break as this is not true. To prove it’s the entire global warming a swindle let’s see what exactly is Global warming.. The global warming is based on the fundamental assumption that the as content of CO2 in the atmosphere increases the temperature rises up and the ice core record shows exactly opposite so the most fundamental assumption of global warming is wrong .there is no direct relation that links the carbon dioxide with temperature but it is just the observation that is misinterrrupted, so its manmade global warming. The theory behind the global warming is a dressed up science, but it’s not the science, its propaganda. The theory of global warming was well supported by politicians, media and we are well convinced to believe it, and with propensity we indeed support it as well. Today global warming is a huge industry with various governments and several units like IPCC supporting it. The problem here is highly equivocal and misleading; it’s true that there is an incredible rise in level of sea water which points the atmospheric warming but it’s not true that the carbon dioxide released by the man made machines is responsible as they amounts to 056%. In fact the earth climate is always changing there were times when the temperature has gone to both the limits this was confirmed by the oceans scientists , the oceans give the evidence about the past temperature as they take hundreds of years for cooling and heating .Secondly the current warming as began long before man had cars or electricity . In the past 100 years the earth’s average temperature was raised only by the only a half a degree but most of the raise occurred before 1940 since then the temperature has fallen for four decades, this was the age when there was rapid industrialization called the post economic boom. Basically what is driving the earth temperature ,it’s the gigantic heating celestial body Sun ,the sun spots are intense magnetic fields the numbers of sun spots increase the solar temperature thus resulting in warming weather as during the ice age the sun had no spots and cosmic waves from the space have inverse relation with earth’s temperature, these waves are responsible for the formation of clouds .But the entire concept of global warming was politicalised as the energy on earth was limited .Industrialization was well established in the developed countries but what about the developing countries they are still at the infancy Its the westerners invoking the climatic disaster to hinder the vital industrial progress in the developing countries. It has evolved as the strongest force to prevent development. The developing countries are asked to use wind and solar energy as the source of electricity but these forms of energy is most unreliable and three times expensive than the conventional form of energy. can a solar energy run a train of 48000mw from new york to washington? This is not fair.
