Kapoor, Khan, Chopra or Kumar” says Sashin
Shah. “Hope we are able to fulfill our dreams for a
better future”

WHO IS TIRTHANKARA?
In Jainism, a Tirthankar :
“Fordmaker or Propagator“; also Tirthankara or Jina) is a
human being who achieves enlightenment (perfect
knowledge) through
asceticism and who then
becomes a role-model teacher
for those seeking spiritual guidance.
A Tirthankar is a special sort arihant, who establishes the fourfold religious order consisting
of monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen after achieving omniscience. After achieving
enlightenment, a Tirthankar shows others the path to enlightenment. At the end of his human life-
span, a Tirthankar achieves liberation (‘moksh’ or nirvan’), ending the cycle of infinite births and
deaths. Jains believe that exactly twenty four Tirthankars are born in each half cycle of time in
this part of the universe.
As Tirthankars direct us to enlightenment, their
statues are worshipped in Jain temples by Jains
aspiring to achieve enlightenment. Tirthankars are
not God or gods. Jainism does not believe in the
existence of God in the sense of a creator, but in godss as beings, superior to humans but,
nevertheless, not fully enlightened. Twenty-one of the Tirthakaras are said to have attained Moksha
in the Kayotsarga (standing mediation) posture; Rishabha, Nemi; and Mahavira on the padmasana
(lotus throne poisture).
The 24 Tirthankaras who achieved liberation
(‘moksha’ or nirvana’), ending the cycle of
infinite births and deaths, are considered to be the
creator of Jain religion. They are divine elements
of Jainism. They have attained all the achievement
of ultimate nature including the ultimate knowledge after making vigirous efforts.
The answer to this question can be perhaps available from the 87th stanza of
“Yashstilakchulikc” scripture written by Acharya Somdev Suri. He observes:
“There are indefinite number of Grahas (Planets)
– Nakshatras – Stars (Heavenly elements in the
sky). But their numbers are shown to be limited
by the rule of nature. In the present era of
Utsarpini time-span, there are 24 times only when
these heavenly elements are positioned in the best
location. This is a certainty. Therefore there are
only 24 Tirthankaras only not a one less not a one more.”
Why do the Jainas worship the Tirthankars?
Umaswami, a great Jaina Acharya has expressed
the object of Jain worship of Tirthankar in precise
terms in the opening verse of his renowned
exposition of the principles of reality according to
Jainism in Tattvartha sutra;
णमो अ�रहंताणं
णमो �स ाणं
णमो आइ�रयाणम ्
णमो उव�झायाणं
णमो लोए स�वसाहूणम ्
“I bow to Lord, the promulgator of the path
liberation , the destroyer of mountains of Karmas
and the knower of the whole of reality, so that I
may realise these qualities.” The object of Jain
worship is therefore not to seek favours but to
cultivate a frame of mind to seek guidance, to
meditate on the path of Liberation as taught by the
Tirthamkars.
As noted by Dr. A.N. Upadhye,
a great Prakrit scholar of Jainism, “ By God Jainism
understands a liberated soul as well as a Tirthankar, who is the
highest spiritual ideal after which every soul can aspire;
the God is an example to
inspire and guide. Thus the basis of the Jain
conception is different from Hinduism . Though
the God is not a creator, the Jain religion neither
lacks devotional fervour nor ceremonial rituals.
Jains offer prayers to him, worship him both in
concept and in concrete , and meditate on him.
Respectful prayers are offered to the Tirthankaras,
liberated soul, preceptor, preacher and monk
because these represent various stages of the souls
spiritual progress. Such a routine keeps one
vigilant about one’s ideal warning every time that
one is to depend on oneself to destroy the Karmas. Jainism is thus a religion of self help and can be
practised by the self reliant, strong and brave.” (Jainism by Colette Caillat, Dr. A.N. Upadhye,
Bal Patil , Macmillan, 1974)
IGCSE BOARD
Today, parents have a plethora of educational boards from which to choose, to enroll their
child/ren. It is not just the SSC (Secondary School Certificate) or ICSE (Indian Certificate of
Secondary Education). Get Ahead presents a series of articles on the educational boards gaining
popularity today. This is a look at the International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(IGCSE) board.
The International General Certificate of
Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a globally
recognized qualification, taken at the Class 10
level, similar to the Class 10 examinations of the
CBSE and ICSE or the middle years Programme
of the IB.
IGCSE, formed in 1988, is a comprehensive two-
year programme, spread over Class 9 and 10, and
leads to the final examinations offered every year
in May and November.
IGCSE assessment is conducted by two UK
assessment bodies: Edexcel (also known as London Examinations) and Cambridge
International Examinations (CIE) (see below). A student who has passed IGCSE is eligible for
any +2 level qualifications, like Class 12 CBSE/
ICSE or any international pre-university
programme, like the IB Diploma, Advanced
Placement Diploma (US), and A/AS Level &
AICE (UK).
How does the IGCSE compare to other
programme like CBSE, ICSE or the
Middle Years Programme of the IB? Like other modern programme, IGCSE offers a
wider range of subjects and encourages high
academic standards through a practical approach
to teaching and learning. Assessment is not
limited to conventional written papers and they
consist of a variety of tests e.g. oral and listening
tests.
The assessment is aimed at a wide ability range of
students, with an eight-point grading scale, from
A+ to G, with A+ being the highest.
IGCSE is a balanced curriculum and a flexible
course of study.
Most subjects offer a choice between core
curriculum and extended curriculum. This gives students of all ability levels the
freedom to choose subjects that are right for them and, thereby, the opportunity to score good
grades. The core curriculum is an overview of the subject
and is suitable for students who are expected to achieve grades C to G.
The extended curriculum is, sort of, a
specialisation in that subject. It is more
challenging and designed for students who are
expected to achieve grades A+ to C.
While the syllabi and curricula of both IB MYP
and IGCSE have an international outlook, IGCSE
appears to be slightly better, in that it is tailored
for a more multi-cultural and more multi-lingual
audience.
Does the IGCSE start only in Class 9? What about
the primary years? Can a student do IGCSE after
completing his/ her earlier schooling through a
different board? Currently, IGCSE is a two-year programme
starting at the Class 9 level. A student who has done his/ her early schooling from any other board
can join the IGCSE programme at the Class 9 level.
CIE has declared the launch of its new Cambridge International Primary Programme in June this
year.
The introduction of this programme means
students will be able to study the IGCSE from
age five through age18.
What are the subjects in the IGCSE
curriculum?
There are five Subject Groups in IGCSE with several subjects to choose from, in each group:
Group 1: Languages (First Language, Second
Language, Foreign Language, etc)
Group 2: Humanities and Social Sciences (Geography, English Literature, History, etc)
Group 3: Sciences (Bio, Chemistry, Physics, etc) Group 4: Maths (Maths, Additional Maths, etc)
Group 5: Creative, Technical & Vocational (Accounting, Business Studies, Computer Studies,
Music, etc) For each subject, the certificate merely indicates
the grades scored, and not pass or fail.
Five scores of 'C' or higher indicates a students
readiness to pursue +2 level qualifications, like
the Class 12 CBSE, IB Diploma, Advanced
Placement Diploma (US), etc.
What is the International Certificate of
Education (ICE) that is awarded to
some IGCSE students?
The ICE is more prestigious than the standard IGCSE.
Instead of the five papers needed to obtain the IGCSE, if a student attempts and passes seven or
more papers, s/he is awarded the ICE. The seven subjects must be as follows:
Two subjects from the language group
One from each of the other four groups
One more from any of the five groups
Why should I select IGCSE for my
child? 1. IGCSE is one of the most sought-after and
recognised qualifications in the world. It develops
and encourages vital educational skills, including
oral skills, investigative skills, problem solving,
team work, recall of knowledge, and initiative.
2. The IGCSE programme has worldwide status
and credibility. In India [ Images ], the course is
delivered in over 130 schools with the number
expected to touch 600 by 2008. It is recognised by
the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) as being at par with CBSE, ICSE, etc.
Worldwide, it is delivered in schools in over 140 countries and is recognised by colleges and
universities everywhere, more so in the UK and
other Commonwealth countries.
3. The IGCSE curriculum is balanced and lends an
international perspective to studies. It also takes
account of differing abilities of students.
4. IGCSE students can take advantage of the
Cambridge Checkpoint, a diagnostic service comprising of standardised tests, that pin-points a
student's strengths and weaknesses in key curriculum areas.
What are Edexcel and CIE? Edexcel is the UK's largest academic
qualifications awarding body.
It was formed in 1996 by the merger of two well-
respected bodies, BTEC (the Business &
Technology Education Council), and ULEAC (the
University of London Examinations and
Assessment Council).
In 2003, Edexcel merged with the education giant,
Pearson PLC, to set up a new company called
Edexcel Limited, which is 75% owned by Pearson
and 25% by the Edexcel Foundation.
CIE is the international division of University of
Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate
(UCLES).
UCLES is another UK-based academic
qualifications awarding body, known for its
professional, rigorous and high standard assessments.
UCLES is a department of the University of Cambridge, which was formed in the year 1207,
and is one of the oldest and most reputed universities in the world.
What is a Cambridge International
Centre? What is an Edexcel Centre or a
London Examinations Centre? Schools that are accredited to Edexcel or CIE for
the conduct of the IGCSE programme are known
as Edexcel Centres or Cambridge International
Centres.
From parents' or students' perspective, there is
little difference between the two. Some schools are accredited to Edexcel and some
to CIE. For example, DPS International in Delhi [ Images ] is an Edexcel IGCSE centre, while the
Pathways World School in Gurgaon is a CIE IGCSE centre.
Then there are some like Calcutta International School in Kolkata [ Images ] and British School in
Delhi, which are centres of both Edexcel and CIE. More than the assessment body, parents need to
think about which school is better for their child.
Diwali is around the corner and decorating the diyas for lighting
up the occasion is one fun activity to do. Many diyas are lit in and
around the house and a very time consuming diya decoration for
close to a hundred diyas, wouldn’t be the best option. So here are
a few diya decoration ideas which can be done real quick to add
an extra sparkle to your festive season.
Glimpse of the Result:
For this you will need:
1. Diyas
2. Acrylic colors (preferably metallic)
3. Kundan/Rhine stones 4. Glue
5. Sparkle glue
How to decorate Diyas:
Step 1:
Take a diya (preferably a new one, mine was an old one which underwent some
cleaning!) and remove any dust or impurities. The traditional diya made out of mud
and clay is always the best.
Step 2:
Paint two coats of an acrylic color of choice and allow the coats to dry.
Step 3:
Using sparkle glue, make a simple pattern either in the inside or/and on the edges as per your design.
Allow the sparkle glue to dry.
Step 4: Paste rhine stones using white glue or any other firm adhesive.
Once the stones are glued on firmly, you can use a little sparkle glue to
enhance the design if needed.
A simple diya decoration is done. You can experiment with different
colors and designs as per your whims and fancies.
Once you start lighting the diyas, there could be slight discoloration of the decoration, but nothing more. The
time spent on the decoration is still worth it!
KARNALA is 61 kms South of Mumbai,
on the Mumbai-Goa highway. It is about 10 km from Panvel. At a height of 445 mts above sea
level, Karnala is known for the thumb shaped pinnacle on top and the bird sanctuary around.
The sanctuary is home to 147 species of resident
and 37 species of migratory birds who visit the sanctuary during winters. Among the birds seen
here are paradise fly catcher, magpie robin, malabar whistling trush, racket-tailed drongo,
golden backed woodpecker, crested serpent eagle
etc. Two rare birds i.e. Ashy Minimet and Spotted
heart woodpeckers have been sighted here.
Karnala
pinnacle is a
favourite
spot for
professional
mountain
climbers.
Best time to visit for bird watching is from October to April. However if one wants to enjoy
the greenery, it has to be during the monsoons.
History The Karnala fort was built during
the 12th century. Karnala was of
strategic
importance
because of its
command of the
highroad
between Bhor
Ghat and the rivers of Panvel and Apta, watching
the trade route. Between 1248 and 1318, it was
under DevgYada. From 1318 to 1347, it was
under Daulatabad Muslim rulers. Subsequently it
was with the Gujarat rulers, with the help of
Portuguese. It changed hands many times between
Shivaji, Mughals and Peshwas. It 1803, it came under Bhaji Rao and in 1819, Britishers took
control of the fort.
Popular with avid bird-watchers and trekkers,
Karnala Bird Sanctuary lies about 60 km from Mumbai
and 10 km from Panvel. The
sanctuary is also famous for the 11th century fort
of the same name.
Straddling the Mumbai-Goa highway, the
sanctuary is quite small as it is spread over 12.11
sq km in Raigad district of Maharashtra. Home to
over 150 species of resident and 37 species of migratory birds, three rare birds – Ashy Minivet,
Three-toed kingfisher and Malabar Trogon – have also been sighted at the park.
Nestled in the Sahyadri hills, Karnala is popular as
picnic spot and as a trekkers paradise. Categorized as an easy climb, some stretches of the trail can
get a tad difficult. However, Karnala is good place
to start trekking.
The sanctuary comprises of moist deciduous
forest. The forest department has made efforts to
educate the visitors by tagging several trees inside
the forest. Principally a bird sanctuary, other
forms wildlife too exists. Wild boar, common
langur and rhesus monkeys are common.
There are four nature trails
in the sanctuary. Though
safe, it is advisable to hire
local youths as guides for the long trails.
The trail leading to Karnala fort, also called Funnel
Hill, is most popular. The 125-feet high basalt pillar
at the centre of the fort, sticks out like a thumb which earned it the
sobriquet of Karnala Thumbs up point. It was a
favourite spot for rock climbing. However, the
presence of several bee hives have made it risky
and no one attempts it now.
Karnala has two
distinct seasons
for bird-
watching.
Monsoon is the
best season to
spot the
Malabar whistling thrush, the magpie robin and the
paradise flycatcher. Winter is the best time to spot migratory birds. The blue throat, the black headed
cuckoo-shrike, the blue-headed rock-thrush, blackbird and the red breasted flycatcher flock to
the sanctuary during winter.
WHERE TO STAY
Karnala has a guest house run by the forest
department located close to the sanctuary gate. A
day is more than enough to discover Karnala.
Beides there are a lot of resorts surrounding
Karnala Bird Sanctuary in case you are planning
to spend a weekend there.
WHERE TO EAT There are no options to eat inside the park.
Visitors generally carry food and water. Kamat hotels and several other dhabas are located at a
close distance from the sanctuary gate.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
Karnala can be visited all through the year. Avoid
the sanctuary during heavy rains as the trails tend
to get slippery. However, visiting the sanctuary
especially the trek to the fort during monsoon can
be an unforgettable experience. The entire area is
carpeted in green and one can see mists gently by
below the fort. October to April is the best time to
visit.
HOW TO REACH
By Road: Karnala is situated on the national
highway 17 also called the Mumbai-Goa highway. State-run buses going towards Pen, Alibag,
Murud, etc. stop at the sanctuary gate. However, don’t forget to check with the bus conductor as all
buses don’t stop at the sanctuary. Share auto-rickshaws which ply regularly from
Panvel to surrounding villages is also another means to reach Karnala.
Taxis, from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai or Thane, can
be hired to reach Karnala.
By Train: Panvel, the nearest railhead, is a major
station on the busy line between Mumbai and
Roha and also on the Mumbai suburban line.
Auto-rickshaws and taxis can be hired from the
station to reach the sanctuary, 12 km away.

SEVEN STEPS TO A HEALTHY
HEART IN YOUR 30s
When you enter your 30s, life gets more and more
stressful and complicated. Your career has gained
momentum, perhaps you're married and have
children, a mortgage, some other loans. Before
you know it, stress adds up and raises the risk of
heart problems. There are many ways to avoid the
risk of heart problems at this age and enjoy your
life. Practice these seven steps to live life without
heart problems just like you lived at your 20s.
Getting away from the
office or family tensions
is not easy, but try to
change how you handle
them. The more you relax,
the more easily your body
will be able to regulate stress levels. Research
suggests that exercise, in any form, is the best way
to de-stress and relax. Select something you enjoy
and stick to it.
Exercise regularly
whether to deal with stress
or to just get fitter. It's a
smart move to have a
healthy heart in your 30s.
Even a 15-30 minutes
exercise session, every
day, will be beneficial for your heart, and will also
prevent you from putting on extra weight and
thereby compounding any potential health
ailments.
Eat healthy. Try and avoid
those unhealthy food items
during the weekend with your
friends and family. These unhealthy foods can add
up to your calorie and cholesterol levels and
increase the risk of heart problems. Instead opt for
a diet full of protein, omega 3 or healthy food
restaurants like Gostana.
Sleep well. Sleeping less
than five hours a day, can
increase the risk of stroke
or cardiac arrest. Make
sure you sleep well,
maintain a daily bed time and wake up time and
avoid smoking or consuming alcohol in excess, or
heavy food before going to sleep.
Breakfast is
essential. Never
skip your breakfast.
It is indeed very
important to eat a
healthy and
nutritious breakfast. A good breakfast gives your
body that much needed fuel to get active and stay
fit.
Birth control needs some revamping. You
should reconsider using contraceptives like pills
and the patch, if you have high blood pressure or a
family history of heart disease. According to Dr.
Goldberg, using these may worsen the case if you
have any heart ailments. Hence, talk to your
gynecologist before trying any contraceptives
Limit sugar and salt intake. Intake of sugar can
raise your cholesterol and triglycerides level and
salt can cause high blood pressure. You don’t
have to completely avoid salt and sugar but limit
your daily intake to avoid heart problems. Cut off
from indulgences in cakes, pastries and creamy
food items.
YOU CAN PREVENT
DENGUE FEVER
A true romantic whose films shaped ideas about
love for generations of Indians, Yash Chopra died
of Dengue a couple of days back. 80-year-old
Yash Chopra was called 'the maker of dreams',
and he taught a generation to fall in love the
exaggerated way, with sunflower fields, Swiss
locations and larger than life scenes. He created
magic on screen, something his films' fans loved
as it took them away from their monotonous lives.
While directing his last romantic film Jab Tak hai
Jaan, Yash Chopra was bitten by a dengue
infected mosquito resulting in high fever,
headache, body pain and rash on the body.
Even though Yash Chopra was administered in
one of Mumbai's best hospital and was under the
supervision of the best doctors, he lost the battle
in a matter of days. According to Dr Prakash
Jiandani, who treated Chopra, " Dengue treatment
should ideally start as soon as possible. However
in Chopra's case, 48 hours had already passed at
the time he was admitted to the hospital." So
chances of his survival , at a critical stage, and
given his age, were slim.
Till date, there are no vaccines that can prevent
you from the dengue virus. But there are ways to
prevent mosquitoes from breeding and personal
care can also avert the dengue fever.
If an aedes mosquito is infected with any four of
the dengue virus types, you will experience
dengue symptoms anywhere between 3-14 days.
Life can be saved on timely diagnoses, but severe
dengue can lead to deadly complications.
Since treatment for dengue is scarce it is
important to do everything to prevent dengue
fever. Here are some important steps you can
follow:
Inform your local
municipal committee
to disinfect your area
with insecticide.
The basic step is to
empty out flower
pots to avoid breeding of mosquitoes.
Clear out leaves and stagnant water in your area, it
is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Clearing stagnant water from coolers is also
important.
If you have any open manhole, gutters or drains it
is important to cover these openings.
Use mosquito repellents and mosquito nets.
Dengue fever is an epidemic associated with
tropical countries and India is currently fighting
its onslaught as it spreads across Karnatka,
Bengal, Delhi, and now Mumbai. With Yash
Chopra’s death, will the officials finally wake up
to this deadly virus?
WHAT DOES 2013 HAVE
IN STORE FOR US
On December 21, 2012, we are supposed to see the end of
the world. I'm thinking that won't happen, and I hope it won't,
since I enjoy being alive, writing on the internet, and driving
fast cars. Plus, there's a lot to look forward to in 2013 that I
don't want to miss.
A few days after the supposed end of days, as we're opening
up Christmas presents, happy to be alive on the brink of a
new year, we will be one step closer to the greatest
technological revolution mankind has ever experienced.
Although we never truly know for sure what technology the
future will bring us, we've got a pretty good idea for what's in
store for us next year. 2013 may not be the year man and
machine become one but there will certainly be plenty of new
gadgets for us to play with.
MIT's Folding Electric Car to be released in 2013

Hiroko - MIT's Folding Car
The Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT) has their
sights set on being the catalyst for finally pushing the electric
automobile revolution over the edge. In 2013, the Hinoko
(meaning "urban car," pictured above) will be released to the
masses across Europe (With a small few areas in the U.S.),
making the Smart Car look even more ridiculous than it
already does with its sleek design and new age features.
One of the best characteristics of the Hiroko is that it is
incredibly easy to park in small spaces, with its ability to fit in
one third of a parking space after being "folded" up. Yes,
that's right, three of these things fit into one regular old
parking space. Since European cities are known to be rather
crowded, this will be a welcomed feature. The initial plan is
for city governments to run a program similar to ZipCar,
promoting the use of the Hiroko.
The downside? A 75 mile range, so don't go thinking you can
start a new Hiroko Taxi service. You will fail miserably.
Memristor Technology
The basic message of Moore’s law tells us that
advancements in technology will cause computer chip
performance to double every two years. So far this has held
true; and if it continues, we will run face first into a brick wall
somewhere around 2020 due to simple physical limitations.
Memristors are the answer. In their current form, a resistor is
a passive component with a set resistance value.
Memristors, on the other hand, have the ability to change
their resistance based on the direction of current running
through them. In addition to that, you can power down a
device using memristors, and they will remember their last
state when powered back on. This is expected to completely
eliminate boot times from computer devices, which will in
turn allow us to power them down on a regular basis,
drastically reducing power usage and increasing battery life.
This technology is said to be capable of neural net
processing, allowing it to mimic the human brain. Taken
further, scientists believe that human skin and blood can be
used as memristors. While this has some great
implications…it also may be cause for fear…

Smart Glasses
I’ve built a love/hate relationship with Google over the years.
I remember the day when “Google” was nothing but a single
page with a logo and a text box. Now we’ve got Google mail,
a Google social network, Google phones and tablets loaded
with the Google operating system. What is the logical next
step? Google Goggles of course. Tell me you didn’t
see that one coming. (Ok, I didn’t.)
Google’s new line of smart specs are going to put a little
screen right in front of your eyes as you walk around going
about your life. This screen will present to you an augmented
reality overlay as you view the world around you. The Google
Goggles are reported to have built in 4G with GPS
technology, a camera, and a Bluetooth connection to
Android based phones.

Smart Skin Phones
Samsung has filed a patent for smart device-skin which will
supposedly be able to take any digital image, and display
that image across the skin of the device. The patent
describes a layer of film that wraps the phone, covering the
entire phone except the sockets, the camera, and the
screen. Little else is known about this technology (other than
it’s awesome), but it is described as a possible feature for an
upcoming phone, as well as being available as an accessory
to fit onto most other devices. While little information has
been released to the public, including a release date, we do
know of another upcoming Samsung device that just might
be the aforementioned phone….
Us techno-geeks love giving new devices complicated, high-
tech names. This provides an aura of mystery and
excitement. Our next highly anticipated device is known as…

Bendy Screen Smartphone
Yes, the bendy screen smartphone. For those of you who
are technologically illiterate, a bendy screen smartphone is a
smartphone touting a screen that we can bend! Yep. Who
doesn’t want to bend and twist their phone into silly shapes
sometimes? It's the best way to let out your anger, other than
just throwing the thing against a wall.
Using Samsung’s already demoed OLED display technology,
we can be expecting a new phone model that will allow us to
bend it, roll it up, and hit it with a hammer. (YES!) We already
have the specs for this phone as well. The phone debuted as
the “Galaxy Skin” (wait..did that say…skin?) features a high-
res 800×480 AMOLED screen, 8mp camera and 1Gb of
RAM as well as a 1.2GHz processor.
Don’t be surprised to see bendy screen tablets released

There are rumors everywhere about the new Xbox system: it
won’t have an optical drive, all games will be downloaded
digitally, it’s called the Xbox Loop, it’s called the
Durango...and the list goes on. There are a few reliable
rumors, however. The graphics are certainly being done by
AMD, who claim that the graphic detail will be on the same
level of Avatar. We can also certainly believe that the system
is going to be released at E3 in 2013, as several companies
working on the project have claimed.

Basis Band
We’ve all seen heart rate monitors, pedometers, and the like.
Soon, we'll have something even more advanced and useful
called the Basis Band. The Basis Band is a wrist watch style
monitor that can monitor virtually everything your body does.
It automatically detects your activities and keeps track of
things such as calories burned, heart rate, sleeping
patterns, and other physical activities. I’ve never been a
huge fan of health monitors in the past, but a device that can
monitor my sleep patterns on top of everything else may be
just what I need.
Fujitsu Lifebook 2013
Ok so you’re the guy who leaves home with a digital camera
strung around his neck, a backpack to carry his laptop, a
tablet in his briefcase, and a phone in his pocket? Well,
you’re just weird. That said, Fujitsu has the answer for
you…weird folk.
The Fujitsu Lifebook, coming in 2013, combines all of these
fancy pieces of technology into one. Ditch everything else,
keep the laptop backpack. Need a camera? Detach the
laptop’s camera to be used as a handheld digital camera.
Tablet? Open it up and pull that out as well. Put it back in
and the tablet immediately displays itself as a touch-screen
keyboard for the laptop. There is even a spot where you can
attach and remove a special cell phone, which I imagine acts
as the cellular modem for the laptop when attached. (Don’t
be surprised if this allows you to make video phone calls
from the laptop as well.)
The price is undetermined, but don’t expect it to be cheap.
Lifebook Concept Design
When people use the term "day trading", they mean the act of buying and selling a stock within the
same day. Day traders seek to make profits by leveraging large amounts of capital to take advantage of small price movements in highly liquid stocks or indexes. Here we look at some common day trading strategies that can be used by retail traders.
Tutorial: An Introduction To Technical Analysis
Entry Strategies
Certain stocks are ideal candidates for day trading. A typical day trader looks for two things in a stock:
liquidity and volatility. Liquidity allows you to enter and exit a stock at a good price (i.e. tight spreads and low slippage). Volatility is simply a measure of the expected daily price range - the
range in which a day trader operates. More volatility means greater profit or loss.
Once you know what kinds of stocks you are looking for, you need to learn how to identify possible
entry points. There are three tools you can use to do this:
• Intraday Candlestick Charts - Candles provide a raw analysis of price action.
• Level II Quotes/ECN - Level II and ECN provide a look at orders as they happen. • Real-Time News Service - News moves stocks. This tells you when news comes out.
We will look at the intraday candlestick charts and focus on the following three factors:
• Candlestick Patterns - Engulfings and dojis
• Technical Analysis - Trendlines and triangles • Volume - Increasing or decreasing volume
There are many candlestick setups that we can look for to find an entry point. If properly used, the
doji reversal pattern (highlighted in yellow in Figure 1) is one of the most reliable ones.
Figure 1: Looking at candlesticks - the highlighted doji signals a
reversal.
Typically, we will look for a pattern like this with several confirmations:
• First, we look for a volume spike, which will show us whether traders are supporting the price at
this level. Note that this can be either on the doji candle, or on the candles immediately
following it. • Second, we look for prior support at this price level. For example, the prior low of day (LOD) or
high of day (HOD).
• Finally, we look at the Level II situation, which will show us all the open orders and order sizes.
If we follow these three steps, we can determine whether the doji is likely to produce an actual turnaround, and we can take a position if the conditions are favorable. Typically, entry points are found
using a combination of these three tools. (For more see the Charting Section of the Forex
Walkthrough.)
Finding a Target
Identifying a price target will depend largely on your trading style. Here is a brief overview of some common day trading strategies:
Strategy Description
Scalping Scalping is one of the most popular strategies, which involves selling almost immediately
after a trade becomes profitable. Here the price target is obviously just after profitability is
attained.
Fading Fading involves shorting stocks after rapid moves upwards. This is based on the assumption
that (1) they are overbought, (2) early buyers are ready to begin taking profits and (3)
existing buyers may be scared out. Although risky, this strategy can be extremely
rewarding. Here the price target is when buyers begin stepping in again.
Daily Pivots This strategy involves profiting from a stock's daily volatility. This is done by attempting to buy at the low of the day (LOD) and sell at the high of the day (HOD). Here the price target is simply at the next sign of a
reversal, using the same patterns as above.
Momentum This strategy usually involves trading on news releases or finding strong trending moves supported by high volume. One type of momentum
trader will buy on news releases and ride a trend until it exhibits signs of reversal. The other type will fade the price surge. Here the price target is when volume begins to decrease and bearish candles start appearing.
You can see that, although the entries in day trading strategies typically rely on the same tools used in normal trading, the exits are where the differences occur. In most cases, however, you will be looking
to exit when there is decreased interest in the stock (indicated by the Level II/ECN and volume). (For
further reading, see Introduction To Types Of Trading: Momentum Traders and Introduction To Types Of Trading: Scalpers.)
Determining a Stop-Loss
When you trade on margin, you are far more vulnerable to sharp price movements than regular
traders. Therefore, using stop-losses is crucial when day trading. One strategy is to set two stop losses:
1. A physical stop-loss order placed at a certain price level that suits your risk tolerance. Essentially, this is the most you want to lose.
2. A mental stop-loss set at the point where your entry criteria are violated. This means that if the
trade makes an unexpected turn, you'll immediately exit your position.
Retail day traders usually also have another rule: set a maximum loss per day that you can afford
(both financially and mentally) to withstand. Whenever you hit this point, take the rest of the day off. Inexperienced traders often feel the need to make up losses before the day is over and end up taking
unnecessary risks as a result. (To learn more, see The Stop-Loss Order - Make Sure You Use It.)
Evaluating and Tweaking Performance Many people get into day trading expecting to make triple digit returns every year with minimal effort. In reality, many day traders lose money. However, by using a well-defined strategy that you are
comfortable trading, you can improve your chances of beating the odds.
How do you evaluate performance? Most day traders evaluate performance not so much by a
percentage of gain or loss, but rather by how closely they adhere to their individual strategies. In fact,
it is far more important to follow your strategy closely than to try to chase profits. By keeping this mindset, you make it easier to identify where problems exist and how to solve them.
The Bottom Line Day trading is a difficult skill to master. As a result, many of those who try it fail. But the techniques
described above can help you create a profitable strategy and, with enough practice and consistent
performance evaluation, you can greatly improve your chances of beating the odds.
YASH CHOPRA a man who redefined
romance in Hindi
cinema almost every
time he made a film,
Yash Chopra might be
synonymous with the
genre but to think of him as the mere Pasha of
Romance would be incorrect. The late king of
romance might have been a die-hard romantic but
there was a time when his characters weren’t
limited to prancing in the Swiss Alps or walking
Zurich’s cobbled streets. Years before he
instructed us to never give up the search for that unknown someone special made just for you,
Chopra was the very change that defined commercial Hindi cinema.
Unlike the designer love stories that would be
forever associated with his name, Chopra’s first
few films were anything but escapist. The legendary BR Chopra’s younger brother, Yash
Chopra’s first film Dhool Ka Phool (1959) might have had romance as a stepping stone, but the film
dealt with the social prejudice that compel a young woman to abandon her child born out of
wedlock.Today, the film might largely be recalled for academic reasons of being Yash Chopra’s
debut but things like the brilliant Sahir Ludhianvi song Tu Hindu Banega Na Musalmaan
Banega still stir up emotions.
His next
film Dharamputra
(1961) was about
communal disharmony in
turbulent times, but it wasn’t till
his 1965 smash hit Waqt that Chopra truly announced his arrival. There are many firsts
attached with Yash Chopra but one rarely
attributes the birth of the multi-starers to him. The
tale of a man who loses his three sons only to find
them later, the stylized Waqtwas a clean break
from Chopra’s previous films and also sowed the
seeds of the ‘lost and found’ formula that was to
be later used to the hilt by Manmohan Desai.
Replete with great songs (Aye Meri Zoharajabeen,
Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu), uber cool one-liners (Yeh
chaaku hai, lag jaye to khoon nikal aata
hai or Jinke khud ke ghar sheeshe ke ho voh
dusron ke ghar pe patthar nahin fenka karte), and
suave villains like Chinoy Seth-Waqt presented Hindi cinema with a perfect template of action,
drama, romance and great tunes that still gets the
job done. The success of Waqt made Chopra the
great new hope of Hindi cinema and he kept up
the promise.
What made Yash
Chopra stand out
from the others was that from his
first film he never allowed the so-
called rules of Hindi cinema to confine him. Even if his films
had a typical formula, his execution would ensure that they escape the trappings. In Aadmi Aur
Insaan(1969) he gave us the anti-hero who wasn’t
apologetic for being rich or even bending the rules
and would provide the platform for the Angry
Young Man of the 1970s; in Itefaq (1969) he
experimented with one location and no songs, and
with Daag (1973) he boldly made bigamy
acceptable in mainstream cinema.
If Daag allowed him to free himself from any
possible shackles that Hindi cinema might impose
on a filmmaker, with Deewar (1975) he changed
the rules forever. Breaking a lot of trappings of
popular cinema, Deewar was an instant classic
and continues to stand the test of time. All through the 1970’s Chopra would return to this simmering
rage with films likeTrishul (1978) and Kaala
Patthar (1979). Even the brief romantic interlude
in between this trilogy, Kabhie-Kabhie (1976), a film that revealed the soft and romantic side of
Chopra, had at its center a variation of the angry young man.
It’s ironical that the
films that associated
the image of
cinematic romance
with Yash Chopra
were his biggest box-
office failures.
With Silsila (1981) Yash Chopra introduced us to
the women in white, the tulip beds of Holland, the
love songs and eternal search for the perfect
partner but the film that created the guise of the
king of romance was rejected by the audiences. If
the rumored real life reel portrayal of the Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri-Rekha triangle didn’t gel
with the audiences, the Mills & Boon inspired May-October romance of Lamhe (1991) was also
lost on them. But the image that Silsila created only became more eminent with Lamhe with a
little help from Chandni (1989), Dil To Pagal
Hai(1997) and Veer-Zaara (2004) to such an
extent that an entire generation conceivably
believes that there isn’t anything more than sarees
and Switzerland to Yash Chopra!
On the eve of Darr’s (1993) release in 1993, Yash
Chopra said in an interview that he’d like to die
with his boots on. In a few weeks Chopra’s final
film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) will release and the
title of his swansong says it all- much like the films he made, Yash Chopra left script that life
gave him better than when he found it. Better known as the king of romance in Bollywood,
Yash Chopra has passed away. The filmmaker was admitted to the Lilavati hospital in Mumbai
on October 13, 2012, he was suffering from dengue. He passed away on October 21. He was
80-year-old. The news came as a surprise for all
his fans and the film industry as well. He is
survived by his wife Pamela and two sons, Aditya
and Uday.
Yash Chopra turned 80 on September 27 and
during an interview with Shah Rukh Khan he
announced that ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ will be his last
film as a director. The filmmaker, who started his
journey with ‘Dhool Ka Phool’ in 1959, helped
many actors in making their place in Bollywood.
From Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan,
Yash Chopra gave a distinct identity to all his
actors. Here are the most iconic characters Yash Chopra created...
The angry young man Vijay of
‘Deewar’: The film established
Amitabh Bachchan as the
angry young man
of Bollywood.
Right from Amitabh’s stylish look to his ‘Aaj
khush to bahut hoge tum’ dialogue, the film
changed his image in the film industry. The movie
did exceptionally well at the box office too and
won seven Filmfare awards. Thanks to ‘Deewar’,
Vijay became Amitabh’s most popular screen
name.
‘Noorie’: Yash Chopra
had a special connection
with Kashmir. His love
for the picturesque valley was evident from
his films. Poonam Dhillon played a
Kashmiri girl in 1979 film ‘Noorie’. It is undoubtedly one of the most
successful films of her career. ‘Chandni’: Sridevi, is best known for Yash
Chopra’s romantic film ‘Chandni’. She was cast
opposite Rishi Kapoor and
Vinod Khanna in the film.
Be it the ‘Mere hathon me
nau nau choodiyan’ song
or the honeymoon dream
sequence, Sridevi got a
chance to prove her mettle as an actress with the film. Her character was so beautifully crafted that
the film looks interesting even now. Ki Ki Ki Kiran from ‘Darr’: More than Juhi
Chawla who was actually named Kiran in the film, Shah Rukh
Khan became famous for this
dialogue. Though
Shah Rukh played a
negative character
in this psychological
thriller, the film really changed his career graph.
Raj Malhotra of ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le
Jayenge’: Thanks to Yash Chopra, Shah Rukh
Khan and Kajol are
still called one of the
best on screen couples
in Bollywood. After
‘Dilwale Dulhania Le
Jayenge’, the name Raj Malhotra has
become synonymous with SRK. No wonder he was named Raj in many other films after DDLJ.
Narayan Shankar of ‘Mohabbatein’: “Parampara, pratishtha aur anushasan, yeh is Gurukul ke teen
stambh hain.” When Amitabh Bachchan
was facing a tough
time in Bollywood, it
was Yash Chopra
who brought him
back as Narayan
Shankar. It worked for the film as well as the
actor. Yash Chopra and Amitabh shared a very
close bond. He was last spotted at Big B’s 70th
birthday bash.
Veer Pratap Singh of ‘Veer-Zara’: Probably Shah
Rukh Khan will miss Yash Chopra the most. List
of their successful films
together is long. Shah Rukh Khan was unbeatable as an
Air Force officer in ‘Veer-Zara’. In Bollywood, nobody
can narrate a love story so simply as Yash Chopra used to. “Jab bhi apko kisi
dost ki zurart pade, toh yaad rakhiye, sarhad paar ek shaks hai jo aapke lie apni jaan bhi de dega.”
Karan Johar is back to school, 14 years
after Kuch Kuch Hota Haimade him a Bollywood
top draw. Candyfloss rules again, designer hunks
and PYTs preen and pose, and if this film was
made in 4D you could probably smell the
bubblegum flavour all along.
Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun
Dhawan- Bollywood's latest babe and babas-
have also been amply touted as the next big things
during the film's run up to release. If Karan was
out to create a package that wholly pushes the
GenNow tempo, Student Of The Year (SOTY for
the cool effect) has little USP beyond its pretty
cast.
Rensil D'Silva's
screenplay appears
to be focussed on
creating individual
scenes that let the
young stars act
cutesy cool, never mind what high-school emotion
is being played out. A functional plot gets going
with typical adolescent emotions. Love,
heartbreak, peer pressure, classroom stress and
buddy bonding are given token space- as much as
is needed to keep the feel-good tempo up and
running.
Look at the casting of
two guys and a girl and
you know the script
will sooner or later
veer into familiar love
triangle terrain. But
K.Jo must have been
aware a simple triangle tangle won’t work in
Bollywood anymore. Considerable runtime sets
up a rivalry between the two heroes before they
become friends.
The heroes, Abhimanyu (Siddharth Malhotra) and
Rohan (Varun Dhawan), are chalk and cheese.
Abhi is your boy next door with big dreams- face
of what the campus calls the 'Bata gang', typifying
middle-class vibes. Varun, son of Indiaâ ™s
biggest tycoon (Ram Kapoor), leads the 'Tata
types' in campus.
Class divide,
however, hardly
attracts significance
in such a designer
set-up. So, Abhi
and Ro become
friends after an early tiff.
To stuff around two and half hours with fluff, you
need a spot of mush of course. Varun's girlfriend
Shanaya (Alia Bhatt) is drawn towards Abhi,
opening up a conflict that escalates as the school
gears up for the annual Student of the Year
contest. Itâ ™s a ridiculous contest that Dean
Yoginder Vashisht (Rishi Kapoor) touts as a
three-way test of academics (students unravelling
riddles Da Vinci Code-style), arts (dancing to
remixed Disco Deewane beats) and athletics(boys
and girls pitted together in swimming, biking and
running competitions).
Strange, but you don't
mind the film despite
its unapologetic
brainlessness. The key
lies in Karan's
storytelling. For all its
pulp packaging, SOTY doesn't have a single dull
moment. The greenhorn trio are a treat to watch
too, primary reasons why you'll love the film.
Karan also adds the right props to grab eyeballs-
Rishi Kapoor's Dean Vashisht gets a gay spin and
the veteran pulls it off with comical restraint.
Kajol and Boman Irani get delightful cameos.
They all fit fine into Planet Picture Perfect, as
only K.Jo creates it.
