<p>I usually advise different stagers to get a taste for their remodelled career and do whatever possible  realize genuine world experience working  seasoned pros.

<p>Such phones may look fancy, but they lack one very critical feature which can prove to be costly &#8211; the absence of International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number.</p>
<p>This 15 digit number is critical for tracking any handset whether its lost or stolen or needs to be monitored by security agencies.</p>
<p>Now, the government has ordered all mobile companies to disconnect such phones from their networks from&#8230;&#8230; <a href="http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/2_crore_non-imei_mobiles_to_be_disconnected.php" target="_blank">Read More </a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sorry about the long wait, but work comes first.  Anyway, I am getting back in the swing of things for a little while.</p>
<p><strong>Science News in Brief</strong></p>
<p>The Large Haldron Collider has resumed operation and set a new world record for energy.  Its particle beams were accelerated at over one trillion volts.  This was just a precursor to the Collider&#8217;s primary scientific tests set for the year 2010.</p>
<p><em>Still No Black Hole: Just to give you a sense of the energy involved here: a lightning strike hits with about 1 billion volts.</em></p>
<p><em><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-style:normal;">A cross-disciplinary team of researchers from universities across America have released a study which indicates that climate change could increase the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan African countries by as much as 50% in the by 2050.  These wars would be fueled by decreased water supplies, fewer food sources, and increased poverty rates.</span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-style:normal;"><em>Talking World War III Blues: Already, 5.4 million people have died from civil war the civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, making it the deadliest conflict since World War II.</em></span></em></p>
<p><em><span style="background-color:#ffffff;font-style:normal;">Scientists seem to have discovered the reason for the hammerhead shark&#8217;s strange head shape.  The shape allows sharks to see almost in 360 degrees in binocular vision.</span></em></p>
<tbody></tbody>
<p><em>Weird Animal Fact: The mantis shrimp has the best eyesight in the animal world.  It is the only animal to to have hyperspectral colour vision.  That is, it can see across the electromagnetic spectrum.  We can only see visible light.</em></p>
<p><strong>Cool Creature</strong></p>
<p>I already covered the kakapo, but I have been dying to post this video.</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/9T1vfsHYiKY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/9T1vfsHYiKY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p><strong>Feature Story: Remember Me</strong></p>
<p>Are some animal species more important than others?  A recent study which examined 222 carnivore species around the world points to the fact that certain carnivores should be more protected than others due to their ecological importance and individuality.</p>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">Even though carnivores are probably the most studied animal group, their taxonomic connections are not well understood.  Thanks to genetic testing, scientists are now able to construct much more accurate taxonomic maps.</span></p>
<p>The study supports the theory that describes the split of carnivores into two main evolutionary groups: dog-like carnivores (Caniforms) and cat-like carnivores (Heliforms).  The same study also revealed some so-called Confused carnivores which do not fit neatly into the aforementioned classification.</p>
<p>Researchers performing the study also isolated a number of carnivores which are unique in the ecological services they perform and the way they evolved.  They suggest that these species, including monk seals, red pandas, and walruses, should be more protected than others because they are so unique.  Because they are evolutionarily distinct, they have genes and evolutionary history not found in any other species.  This makes it important with regards to biodiversity: by increasing genetic variability.</p>
<p><strong>The Cosmic Perspective</strong></p>
<p>All people value equality: the right to be treated with equal respect and dignity as any other human being.  Those who value the environment tend to extend that to the animal world.  We do not like to show preferential treatment to certain animals just because they are cute and cuddly.  So, this study which claims that certain animals are more important from an evolutionary perspective comes as a bit of a shock.  Why should a walrus be more important than a snow leopard?</p>
<p>I look at this from two points of view: that of a scientist and that of an environmentalist, because I consider myself to be both.  As a scientist, I definitely see the merit of protecting certain species.  Different animals perform different tasks in an ecosystem.  Certain animals&#8217; roles are more critical to the functioning of the system as a whole than others.  It is a principle of network systems thinking that  nodes (animals) in a system (ecosystem) can be ranked based on the number of nodes which connect to them and the importance of those nodes.  So, the more important connections an animal has, the more important it is in an ecosystem.  However, even a few important links can prove to elevate a species to a higher status than one with many relatively commonplace connections.</p>
<p><span style="background-color:#ffffff;">That being said, all animals play an important role in biodiversity.  Biodiversity provides for the astounding variety of different organisms, genes, ecosystems in which they exist, and biological services these organisms provide for life to adapt to changing environmental conditions throughout history.  It would be foolish not to save as much as we can of the already dwindling amount of biological diversity we have on this planet.  We often do not know how important something is before it is gone altogether.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Catching up with the myriads of tweets produced by few (I only follow 12 little tweeters), I came across this article:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>The Volvo IT Rants and The Importance of a Corporate Internet Policy</em>, by Alex Williams, posted on <a title="http://www.readwriteweb.com/enterprise/2009/11/are-you-blogging-and-twitterin.php" href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/enterprise/2009/11/are-you-blogging-and-twitterin.php" target="_blank">ReadWriteWeb</a>, posted 27 Nov 2009</li>
</ul>
<p>I&#8217;ve been involved in union/management discussions on corporate policies and it&#8217;s always interesting to see how others deal with workplace issues which may arise.  This article highlights the shortcomings of the Volvo Group policy which resulted in its IP address being banned by Wikipedia for a month and gives examples of best practice from other companies.</p>
<p>In reality, how many companies are truly engaged with the issues posed by internet use?  In my experience not many companies appreciate the use to which social web applications are put and how these can be to the benefit of the business. Policies exist to protect the company in law, rather than as guidelines for best practice.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Is organic food really better? Well, it may be better for people individually, but on a large-scale ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Is organic food really better? Well, it may be better for people individually, but on a large-scale is it really better for the environment? Environmentalists claim that organic food is better because of the lack of pesticides and other harmful chemicals used in organic farming. In the United States especially, many health conscious people only buy organic products and this has helped &#8216;all natural&#8217; food stores that claim to sell only organic produce. Organic produce sales has skyrocketed in the US over the last decade.</p>
<div id="attachment_141" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://archie84.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/427624-12555376864818-beacon-asset-managers.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-141" title="427624-12555376864818-Beacon-Asset-Managers" src="http://archie84.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/427624-12555376864818-beacon-asset-managers.png?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="161" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Organic food sales in the US</p></div>
<p>However,  in reality it may not really be more beneficial. According to Micheal Mack, chief executive of Sygenta, a Swiss agricultural company, organic food exacerbates poverty. Mack claims that organic farming takes up more farmland than regular farming, reducing the amount of possible crop that can be farmed. Given the rate at which the world&#8217;s population is growing, if we were to switch completely to organic farming we would not be able to produce enough to feed the world.</p>
<p>Indeed, the only way to combat this would be to cut down more trees, which would exacerbate the deforestation problem and contribute adversely to global warming. While Mack clearly has a bias point of view given his association with a company that sells non-organic produce, he&#8217;s not completely wrong. There has been much debate about this subject in the past.  A Danish study found Mack&#8217;s words to be true &#8211; organic farming produced half the amount of crop that a conventional farm produced.</p>
<p>Not only is the argument about merely less produce, but some studies question the validity of the claim that organic is better from a nutritional standpoint. The UK Food Standards Agency proclaimed that there is no evidence that organic food is more nutrious than traditional produce.</p>
<p>Although proponents of traditional farming like Mack remain mum on the entire problem with conventional farming &#8211; that the overuse of pesticides leads to soil depletion, which is harmful to the environment. The tradeoff lies in producing less for now at the cost of future environmental problems. This is a debate that is not likely to be solved soon. Yet the interesting fact remains that most people who buy organic are not aware of the environmental issues involved in organic farming or the fact that perhaps organic isn&#8217;t really better for you. Its part of a larger mentality in the US to try and be more &#8216;health-concious&#8217;. What i find most ironic is standing in line at McDonald&#8217;s in front of a person that orders a doubt cheeseburger (calories 440, fat 23g) and a diet coke (like this makes up for the cheeseburger). No wonder buzzwords like &#8216;organic&#8217; work on the American public.</p>
