CAREER CASE

Communication skills – speaking skills:

You can hear the fashionable phrase 'good communication

skills’ widely bandied about these days. The skills, however, are

anything but modest in their practical effects- without them; you

cannot function efficiently, whether as housewife or businessman,

office secretary or club secretary, employee or employer, information

hunter or bargain hunter, colleague or student or friend.Writing and speaking are sometimes compared to another form

of communication- broadcasting. Like a radio transmission, for

example, speaking and writing also have three elements- transmitter,

signal, and receiver- and often suffer from 'interference'. What is it that

distorts the message between transmitter (you) and receiver (your

reader or listener)? It might be inadequate vocabulary or nervous twitching or a noisy street.

Communicate clearly, and you actually start to think more clearly,

and this in turn improves your communication skills still further.

Tips for better English speaking:

Try to experiment with the English you know. Use words and phrases

you know in new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to

correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the

wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way

of getting feedback.

Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to

what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to themin a natural way.

Try NOT to translate into and from your own language. This takes too

much time and will make you more hesitant.

Don't speak too fast! It's important to use a natural rhythm when

speaking English, but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people

to understand you.

Try to relax when you speak – you'll find your mouth does most of the

pronunciation work for you. When you speak English at normal speed,

you'll discover that many of the pronunciation skills, such as linking

between words, will happen automatically.

Remember, when speaking English…

Try to become less hesitant and more confident.

Remember to be polite – use "please" and "thank you" if you ask

someone to do something for you.

INDIANNESS ANDHRA PRADESH

Language: Almost 85% of the population in

Andhra Pradesh is Hindu and speak Telugu

but in the northern parts, especially in andaround Hyderabad there is a significantly

large population of Muslims and speak

Urdu and Hindi. While urban Andhra

Pradesh is educated, cosmopolitan andleads the way in conspicuous consumerism,

the rural areas are still remarkably poor.A large part of the population in Andhra has been given special statusunder a program of affirmative action for certain scheduled castes and

tribes. The nomadic Lambadi are the most colourful tribal group,

thought to be originally from the Kutch region in Gujarat.

Religion: Almost 85% of the population is Hindu. There are asignificant number of Muslims in the north, in and around Hyderabad,and many Christians too. There are some Jain and Buddhist people too.

Food: Andhra food is deliciously hot and tangy. The Telugupeople love their side dishes, pickles, crisp poppadums and yoghurt.The dosa, a rice pancake is special in Andhra. Called the pessaratu, it isfilled with a savoury semolina preparation called upma.

Famous all over the world, the aromaticmeat and rice preparation called biryanibelongs to Hyderabad. Muslim food ismainly concerned with succulent meats,sweet spices and ways of putting themtogether in the most delectable fashionthere could be. Fruits, like custardapples, bananas, mangoes and the

locally grown grape.

Culture and Crafts: The crafts of Andhra Pradesh are many. Famous for

its Kalamkari and Nirmal paintings, buffalo hide puppets, Ikat garmentsand the delicate silver filigree of Karimnagar, Andhra is a veritable

treasure

Trove of beautiful crafts fashioned by skilled artisans, Kalamkari takes

its name from the implement of the humble ‘kalam’ i.e. pen. Ikat is aform of weave where dyed threads are patterned into colorful fabrics.

The repertoire of fine fabricsis not limited to Ikat.

Saris woven in Pochampalli,

Dharamavaram, Venkatagiri

and Narayanpet are treasuredpossessions of innumerable

Indian women.The classical dance

form of kuchipudi is native to

a small town near Vijayawada. It incorporates elements of myths and

the Hindu religion and is performed to Telugu music and Sanskrit

chants. Tribal dances, as everywhere else, are filled with grace andrhythm. The most well-known is the dhimsa of the colorful Lambadi

tribe. The Veernatyam captures the energy of an enraged Shiva, theDestroyer God.

HEALTH & TREND

Health is the level of functional or metabolic

efficiency of a living being. In human, it is thegeneral condition of a person’s mind, body and

spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness,

injury or pain (as in “good health or “healthy”).

List of plants used in medicine

o Aloe Vera has traditionally been used to treat burn & wounds.

o Garlic (Allium sativm) may lower the level of total cholesterol

o Grapefruit (Naringenin) components may prevent obesity.

o Honey may reduce cholesterol

.may be useful in the treatment of

wound

o Oregano may be effective

against multi-drug-resistant bacteria.

o Black berry and paper drew

the attention of the cosmetics

because it interferes with the metalloproteinase that contribute

to the wrinkles of the skin.

o Black berries prevents Oral Cancer

FASHION

Fashion Design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and social latitudes and has varied over time

and place. Fashion designers work in a

number of ways in designing clothingand accessories. Some work alone or as

part of a team .They attempt to satisfy

consumer desire for aesthetically

designed clothing; and because of the

time required to bring a garment onto

the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes. Thereare a number of well-known art school and design school design

technology.

Fashion designer attempts to design clothes which are functional as

well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear

a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide

range and combination of material to work with and a wide range of

colours, patterns and styles to choose from.

SPORTZ

CRICKET: Virat Kohli finishes 2011 as highest ODI run-getter. Kohli

finished the year at the top of ODI charts with 1381 runsat an avg. The young gun started off 2011 with a solid 54

against South Africa in the testing conditions of Durban

and from there on it was no looking back for the

confident right-hander as he banged a brutal 100 not out against

Bangladesh in the World Cup opener to compliment Virender Sehwag’s

maverick innings.

He went on to score 282 runs in the successful

campaign cementing his place in the

world’s best team in style. But the real test awaited

the Delhi brat in England were he showed that he is

not one to turn his back to a challenge producing a gritty 55 in the firstmatch at Chester-Le-Street.

TENNIS: Chennai: World Number 17 and Chennai Open defending

champion Stanislas Wawrinka on Saturday said the

young guns in world tennis are out to spring a lot of

surprises in the 2012 season. He said the race isalways between players ranked five to 20 and this

year players have been moving a lot. "That is nice and is a big challenge

because you know you can be there. Since you find young players

always coming up in tournament after tournament, it is going to be the

same this year or even more. You can see some big surprises this year

the ATP Circuit," he said.

FOOTBALL: FC Dallas coach Schellas Hyndman said Tuesday that 2010

MLS MVP David Ferreira, out since late April with abroken ankle, likely won’t be available in the

upcoming playoffs. Dallas plays host to the New York

Red Bulls on Wednesday night in a single-elimination

wild-card match.

Liverpool galvanised by super sub Gerrard took just 31 minutes to

inspire a 3-1 win over Newcastle in his team`s final fixture of the year.

GOLF: charl schwartezl and Louis oosthuizen both finished in the top

six at the Dubai world championship after leaving themselves a little

too much to do on the final day. It was a gallant

effort from the chasing pack but alvaro quiros

kept his nerve to win the title in stunningfashion and Luke Donald clinched the race to

Dubai by finished third. Oosthuizen started the

day just shots behind the Spaniard and was in the penultimate group

with Donald. Putt after puff just slid past the hole for the south Africa

who failed to get any momentum going in his final round

PREACHING THOUGHTS

Do not live in imagined future: If you want to be a happier, less-

stressed person, there is no better place to start than with becomingaware of “anticipatory thinking,” or an imagined future.

Essentially, this type of thinking involves imagining how much

better your life will be when certain conditions are met – or how

stressful, or difficult something is going to be at some point down the

road.

Typical anticipatory thinking sounds something like this: “I can’t

wait to get that promotion, and then my life will be great.” “Life will be

so much simpler when I can afford an assistant.” “These next few

years will be really tough, but after that I’ll be having a smooth ride.”

You get so carried away by your own thoughts that you remove

yourself from the actual present moments of your life, thereby

forgetting the act of living effectively and joyfully.

There are other, more short-term forms of this type of thinking

as well: “The next few days are going to be unbearable,” “I am goingto be tired tomorrow,” “I just know my speech is going to be a

disaster.”

There are endless variations of this stressful tendency. The

details are usually different, but the result is the same –stress! Do not

let your thoughts get caught up in the negative expectations andimagined horrors of the future.

Be Responsive: “Responsive” means acting appropriately to the issue

at hand. Rather than being driven and controlled by habitual, knee-jerkreactions, being responsive means having the ability to maintain

perspective and to choose the best possible alternative or course of

action, given your unique situation.

Because responsive people are able to see the entire picture so

well, they are able to factor into every equation all the variables,instead of being limited to their usual way of doing things.

Responsive individuals are willing to change direction, if

necessary, and admit their mistakes when appropriate.

For example, it’s common for a builder to run into unexpectedchanges in the original plans – unknown soil conditions, a shortage of

money, or unforeseen design problems. A reactive builder will panic,

overreact and become difficult to work with. A good builder will take

the changes in stride, be responsive to the changes, rise to the

occasion and get the job done.

INNOVATIVE MINDS

Magnetic Floating Aircrafts: Aircrafts today relies on fuel energy which

is non – renewable form of energy. In order to conserve energy and tooptimize the use of fossil fuels, the earth’s magnetic field can be used

as the driving force of the aircraft, instead of fuel energy.

The earth has a

magnetic field. The aircraft

generates whatever field the

Earth is generating (positive

for positive or negative for

negative) and then the

aircraft floats.

This was tried some

years ago, but the aircraft

was far too unstable and thus, crashed. An electrical generator would

be required to generate the electricity for a big aircraft, to keep it

afloat, since batteries wouldn't last that long. To power the generator,

one could put in a conventional combustion type of engine and have

the pistons turn a crankshaft that drives the generator. In order toreduce the usage of fuels, the phenomena of super magnets can be

applied to generate power.

This idea was initially abandoned because the Earth's magnetic

field changes in many regions. In other words, the field which allows

floating in one region could pull into the Earth in another, which isundesirable.

But modern jetliners and modern fighter planes fly with the help

of computer programs that constantly make slight changes to the flapsand so forth of the aircraft to keep it stable; without this, aircraft like

an F-16 or a jumbo jet would crash.

Imagine an aircraft that instead of the four exhaust outlets has

four large magnetic generators on the bottom. These magnets are

powered by the electric generator which is spinning inside, which is

thus powered by the engine inside, which is running on fuel.

Now a problem arises - what if on one side of the aircraft the

Earth has a positive field, yet on the other side, it has a negative field?

The magnets on each side need to custom match the field, or they will

pull the aircraft down. Each magnet could be like a television screen,

where each magnet is really made up of a huge amount of smaller

magnets (as a television screen is made up of pixels), so that the

magnetic field from each "magnet" could vary.

As the aircraft flies along, the computer can make constant

adjustments to the magnetic fields of these four hover magnets, to

match the Earth's field, so the aircraft stays afloat.
