<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style>
<br />
<div style="font-weight: normal; line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-indent: 0.98cm;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am a nature lover and wild life enthusiast. I
frequently go trekking to forests and mountains. It was in one of
those trekking expeditions the incident occurred. I usually trek
alone but once i had to accompany a group of people on trekking in the mountains. I have 2 liters water bottle with me in my
bag-pack and the bottle is refilled when ever i find a water source.
There were 10 men in the group and all were in their thirties. They
were working as software engineers at different IT companies in
Bangalore. After trekking for 3 km from the base of mountain we went
deep into the forest area. All of us were thirsty. I quenched my
thirst by drinking water from the metal bottle. The others had
purchased plastic water bottles of a reputed MNC. All of them emptied
one bottle each. Then the plastic bottles were thrown haphazardly on
the ground where we had all sat. Being an old man and having seen
the world i was not surprised by their action. Out of concern for
environment i asked them why they had disposed the plastic bottles in
such a manner. One of them said "I can see a heap of empty
water bottles 100 yards from here near the large tree. It means that
the bottles can be thrown any where. Why should we carry the empty
bottles. We have many bottles with us and these empty bottles will
unnecessarily add extra baggage to us. We have not done any wrong
act. Other trekkers have also dumped the bottles and other trash
here." The other persons in the group supported him. I asked
them whether they were aware of the fact that plastic was
non-biodegradable and it is harmful to the environment. All the
persons just laughed and one of them said that they were aware of the
facts. For the sake of convenience they had to throw away the plastic
bottles. In the jungle they had freedom to do what ever they wanted
and there was no monitoring authority to keep their activities in
check. They had come for enjoyment and for recreation only and not to
conserve the environment. The incident taught me many lessons. Some
Indians require constant policing to behave like civilized people.
Most of the educated people in the country care little about the
environmental issues and give excuses for not maintaining cleanliness
in the environment. They are intentionally ignorant and justify their
action on clumsy grounds. I questioned myself whether these people
were educated in the true sense. They had a university degree and a
job in IT sector. They badly needed education about the environmental
issues. </span>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Majority
of urbanites are sick of masala movies churned out in India. Are
people ready to watch art movies? They have interest but not
the required will. Art movies are not everyone's cup of sugar
water(not hot beverages). Watching them requires patience. As we are
all aware, Indians of the present generation are highly mobile.
Patience is a virtue and we lack it to watch the art movie.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">We
have no qualms what so ever sitting for long time in front of laptop
or other electronic gadgets commenting on every like or liking every
comment on the face book or other social media. We wait for hours
together at traffic jams cursing tom,dick and harry using the English
words Shakespeare did not dream of. How is it possible to watch a art
movie which does not have irrelevant song and dance sequences or
gravity-defying fights? There is no vulgar comedy and we find it
difficult to appreciate humor. Do we? The music is melodious and
pleasing. There are no dishum-dishum or dishkiyoon sounds. Number of
characters are less and they have a powerful story to tell us. Are we
ready?</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The success of event
management is not just dependent on number of years a company has
organized events. Past success alone does not guarantee success in
present ventures. The market dynamics evolve continuously
necessiating different strategies to be adopted for success.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The marketing
strategy adopted by event planners/organizers includes mass email
campaigns,social media and word of mouth publicity.More than fifty
percent of planners believe that email marketing can increase the
number of registrations. Some types of social media are underutilized
by certain event planners. Others are more frequently used. Different
types of social media can be used in unique ways by event planners to
make the event a grand success.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
More than fifty
percent of event managers spend less than ten percent of the budget
on the software used for event management. The involvement and
interactions with audience during the event is a major factor which
determines the event's success.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The event manager is
under constant stress since he/she needs to manage different aspects
related to the event. Availability of a software application which
runs on multiple platforms simplifies the event manager's job in
managing patrons,speakers,registration of the participants for the
event among the other numerous tasks involved with organizing of
the event. Advantages include higher efficiency in the execution of
different tasks related to event,increase in revenue from ticket
sales and value addition for the participants. Real-time surveys
provide event organizers the required information regarding the
participants satisfaction and experiences.</div>

<style type="text/css">P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm; }</style>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Stereotyping is the
greatest barrier to creativity and an artist should never play
stereotype roles in the films. This is easier said than done. Once an
artist transforms into a super star with a series of hit films, he
starts playing only stereotyped roles. The audience wants him to play
the same kind of character again and again on the silver screen. He
also does not wish to experiment in intellectually challenging roles
in the films. The superstar-turned-artist finds it difficult to
switch over from playing stereotyped roles after some time. The
height of absurdity has already observed in hindi films with
superstars above the age of fifty romancing with heroines who are in
their early twenties.
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The stereotyped role
of a romantic lover boy has crossed all limits of decency for the
aging superstars. It is the combination of stupidity and arrogance
on the part of the superstar to play in such roles and hurt the
sensibilities of mature audiences. The so-called fans do not
entertain any such logic and simply lap up whatever is dished out on
the silver screen,irrespective of quality.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Not all audience
appreciate this kind of crudity depicted in films. There are sensible
audiences who appreciate quality films having a good story. The
conclusion is mediocrity has taken over the actor in the selection of
story as well as and other aspects of film making. In the process the
super star transforms into a non-artist and loses shine in the box
office. It is time the superstars changed over
</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
to character roles
befitting their age and spare the loyal audiences who want to see and
appreciate the artist and not the superstar in their favourite
heroes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Mediocrity has
definitely set in the hindi films with the stars occupying the centre
stage and playing to the front benchers in the theatre or gallery
while performing naively in the stereotyped roles. The
story,director,production values,music,lyrics occupy a back stage.
The image of the entire film industry is tarnished by the events. In
the course of time, sensible audiences stop watching the movies.</div>

The semiconductor
industry faces number of challenges today. There is a demand for more
functionality in every die. The most critical aspect is the ever
increasing demand for reduced power consumption in mobile devices.
The proliferation of high-speed serializers/deserializers has
challenged the economics of testing and the strategies adopted for
testing. Introduction of newer technologies implies different kind of
failure mechanisms previously not encountered. Debugging has reached
new levels of sophistication in a rush to capture the market place.
The latest trend of 3D packaging technology demands advanced probe
based testing.The testing of System on chip and System in package
devices demands highest levels of functionality in the test equipment
apart from lower cost.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">According
to CIRP, Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) is a vacuum process allowing
material transfer in the form of vapor particles from a material
source (target) to the substrate.(Bouzakis,
Konstantinos-Dionysios,2014)</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="western" lang="en-US" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span lang="en-US"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">From
the beginning of early 1960s,PVD been used in the fabrication of
Integrated Circuits and other highly sensitive devices. PLCs
(programmable logic controllers) were used in the early years as a
part of PVD equipment. In the 1980s,the PLCs were replaced by
computers in the PVD equipment. The process of integration of PVD
equipment with computers however happened at a very slow pace. The
PLC control platform remained as part of PVD equipment for some more
years. In the mean time, due to limitations of PLC, critical tasks
related to PVD were postponed. Using present day computing
technologies, vacuum integrity is tracked and analyzed. Complex
vacuum manipulation provides an angle-of-incidence control which was
neither cost effective nor reliable in the earlier years. Deposition
rate and thickness are measured in real-time and variations are
easily compensated. The control system architecture with the computer
as an integral part enhances process control. New software platforms
enable development of the best graphical user interfaces. This
maximizes performance and value. With the advent of Internet,remote
controlling of operations in real time is possible. This has helped
in PVD system design for the past 12 years. Design,development
engineers routinely use the world wide web for data,voice and video
transmissions. PVD technical services, today are through web cameras.
Computer controlled PVD systems operate in clean room or controlled
environment. Cleanliness and control over vacuum deposition maintains
particulates at satisfactory levels. A recent development is the use
of tablet computers for improved readouts. The tablet computers are
mounted where data is clearly visible. With the availability of
cellular network service, required files are transmitted as and when
required during the operations. A tablet computer can also be used
for clean-room applications like residual gas analysis and leak
detection. In conclusion, it is stated that computerization has led
to increased productivity(Malocsay).</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;">Impact
of technology on daily life: Bombarded with devices like
computer,smart phone we have become totally dependent on gadgets. The
wi-fi router is always on,enabling us to know the updates of all
things on line like social media,emails among others. We can read
newspapers at any time of the day with the latest news. E books have
resulted in availability of classic literature for everyone which
otherwise would be available only in select libraries of the world.
They have their own features. E books can be designed to be
interactive,with the option of note taking. The book layout,graphics
and illustrations are far superior when compared to printed books.
They occupy less size and can be read on a smart phone or a tablet
.They can be competitively priced and sold directly to customers.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;">Is
it a healthy sign to stop reading books, newspapers, magazines in
print and instead do the same on line. What about the writing habits?
How much do we write on paper every day? Letter writing is a best
forgotten art. Handwriting is a reflection of human mind. When we
write neatly it means our thoughts are well organized. Dirty
handwriting means otherwise.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;">As
of today,plagiarism is easily identified in academic writing,research
writing among others. Gone are the days of 'copy and paste' writing
indulged in by plagiarist writers of notorious reputation.
Earlier,not too many years ago,plagiarist writers had a field day
copying content from all over the Internet web pages and pasting into
the word document. Plagiarist writers remained faithful to the basic
philosophy of plagiarism by indulging in violation of Intellectual
Property Rights on a large scale. There have not been many instances
of the plagiarist writers getting punished for their highly unethical
activity. In scientific research, a few researchers caught indulging
in plagiarism in the research articles submitted to reputed journals
have faced expulsion from the university departments. In many shady
journals of questionable reputation plagiarized article are accepted
for a fee. All this undermines the basic tenets of scientific
writing. It takes time to write 100% original article with proper
references to the sources used. The sources include
books,journals,web pages, videos among others.</span></div>

<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The
concept of shopping malls is alien to most of the Indians of earlier
generations. However in the recent
decade we have embraced the concept whole heartedly. Malls are
multicrore businesses and have
different business models. There are all-in-one malls where virtually
everything under the sun is
available. In some malls prices of goods are reasonable compared to
other places. <strong><span style="font-weight: normal;">Parking problem,
an ever growing feature in the Indian metros is eliminated</span></strong>
since parking is free or for a</div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
very
nominal fee. Families visit a shopping mall during
weekends or on holidays for a family outing
since it is convenient. A whole day can be spent enjoying at the
mall, shopping, dining, watching
movies or playing games. Malls have transformed into
meeting places for old timers who indulge
in r<em><span style="font-style: normal;">eminiscence</span></em><span style="font-style: normal;">
over a plate of vada-pav or idli sambar and </span> coffee or tea in
the food court. There
is variety of entertainment specially available for kids to keep them
occupied for long hours.
Malls are the best places for new product or service promotion due to
heavy foot fall,especially on weekends. Ina typical mall temperature
is controlled to the right degree and is vastly different from the
extreme weather conditions present outside. This makes it highly
attractive for
people who can just forget about existing weather conditions and
indulge in shopping. For those persons not interested in
shopping,window shopping is an attractive way for time-pass activity. But
all things are not rosy regarding malls. There is overcrowding, on
weekends and holidays. Parking
problem exists on a very busy day. There is huge temptation to buy
unwanted products
and services. The monthly budget goes haywire. Shopping at malls
gradually transforms into addiction with unwanted side effects for
the entire family.</div>

& Medicine: Virus</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">No
one is afraid of a virus affecting the computer/tablet PC/smart phone
due to various counter measures that work effectively against it. But
every one is terrified about the real world biological virus. The
latest virus to attack the humanity is called zika. After reading
about zika, it will not be far from truth to say that the readers
will be 'shaken' and 'well stirred' in their minds.</span></span></div>
<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A
virus is a submicroscopic parasite.It infects any kind of animal,any
type of plant or bacteria. Most often the infection leads to serious
or deadly diseases. A virus consists of DNA or RNA surrounded by a
biochemical layer. A virus replicates with the help of a host cell.
Some of the popular viruses include the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). This causes the dreaded disease AIDS. Even a casual mention of
the word AIDS sends shivers down the weak or strong spine of any
individual. Other examples include herpes simplex virus, smallpox
virus, multiple sclerosis virus, human papilloma virus among others.
The common type of cold is due to virus. A great deal of mystery
surrounds the origins of most recent viruses and even great fictional
detectives like Sherlock Holmes would struggle in this quest. Methods
to cure the viruses and the diseases caused by them are in the early
stages. There have been no significant medical breakthroughs as such
or sudden discovery of a miracle drug to combat the deadly viruses.

<div class="western" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Zika
viral infection is due to a virus spread by Aedes mosquitoes. The
symptoms include muscular pains in various parts of the body,
headache,skin problems ,light fever among others. They last maximum
for a week(zika virus).</span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: TIMES NEW ROMAN, serif;">According
to WHO report, regarding zika virus,the findings are alarming,to say
the least. Around 60 countries have reported the presence of virus as
of 15 June 2016. The probability of transmission of virus through
sexual contact is very high. Microcephaly and central nervous system
malformations are the widely reported pathological conditions. Virus
sequencing indicates origins in asia(Zika situation report).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 21st century huge quantities of data are generated every minute. These data are available to those who want it at a very reasonable cost. Top notch companies(not only the Fortune 500) in every sector are focusing their energies on exploiting data for competitive advantage to gain leverage over their competitors in the hyper competitive,dynamic business environment of the modern world. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the not so distant past, firms employed teams of statisticians, modelers, and analysts to explore data sets manually, but today the volume and variety of data has far outstripped the capacity of manual analysis. At the same time, computers have become ultra powerful, networking is present everywhere, and algorithms that can connect data sets have been developed. This has led to broader</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and deeper analyses of the data compared to earlier times. The convergence of these phenomena has </span><span style="font-size: large;">given rise to the increasingly widespread business application of data science principles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Data science refers to all those activities concerned with the collection, preparation, analysis, visualization, management and preservation of large amounts of information.It is not just statistics or machine learning in the context of technology industry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The profile of a data scientist includes the following:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Computer science,Mathematics,Statistics,Machine learning, Domain Expertise,Scientific </span><span style="font-size: large;">instinct, Communication and presentation skills,Data visualization. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another way to look at data science:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The world wide web is full of applications(apps) which are data centric. One example is e-commerce</span><span style="font-size: large;">. The different components include a database in the back end and </span><span style="font-size: large;">middleware that communicates with a number of other databases and data services </span><span style="font-size: large;">. Simply using data isn’t </span><span style="font-size: large;"> “data science.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A data application acquires its core value </span><span style="font-size: large;">from the data used, and in the process creates more data. Therefore</span><span style="font-size: large;"> it can be called a data product. Data science facilitates the creation of data products.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The revolutionary phenomenon of big data is closely linked to the emergence of data </span><span style="font-size: large;">science. Benefiting from big data implies development of core teams in the organisation with this unique </span><span style="font-size: large;">skill set, and making them understand the management philosophy which is the readiness of organization to comprehend</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> and use data for gaining an ever increasing market share to the benefit of all shareholders.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Association with a daily newspaper (black and white, not electronic version) : If i do not read it on a general holiday, i literally go crazy. That's the emotion attached. Some people may call it addiction. I associate myself psychologically with the newspaper. When reading the content i just forget myself and get deeply involved. I come to know the happenings in the world at my own pace,without depending on the world wide web. No need to strain the muscles and nerves of my palm . Less strain on my eyes. These are not trivial benefits. In fact they are major benefits. I am not consuming electricity to read the newspaper. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Reading newspaper has become a sacred ritual in itself. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is not just the news but the way it is presented that is crucial in capturing reader's attention. Sensationalism in news reporting has worked very well for certain newspapers in the short term. Once the readers became wise,they switched towards other newspapers which focus on objective news analysis. Editorial column is very powerful in moulding public opinion on various issues. If it is scripted by prejudiced,biased individuals with vested interests, then the society as a whole is misled.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">How do i get to know what's happening in the world ? Newspapers of course. Is it the printed version or the electronic version? Each one has its own pros and cons. Let us consider the printed version of newspaper. Not so long ago most of us started the day with a cup of coffee reading a daily newspaper.What did we generally like while reading it? There were occasions when we read the entire newspaper more than once inviting comments " Why are you revising the newspaper" ?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What made the newspaper such interesting to read ? It was not just the coverage of general information,sports news,gossip about films that made the newspaper. There are other aspects that make the newspaper ideal for reading.What are those aspects?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will tell about them in my next blog.</span><br />
