Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 8:56 am By Desh Kapoor

India is in a downturn. And the recessionary times are clear. State Bank of India recently received 1.7 million applications for just 1,500 entry-level clerk jobs! The main attraction? Good perks, obviously.. but “Job for life” status. In fact for the Probationary Officers job, the perks at State Bank seem very lucrative, given the market. For positions in Mumbai, the bank offered a starting package of 69,000 rupees (1,270 dollars) a month for the “probationary officers” including a housing allowance... Read more

Rehman Malik is angry with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi now

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 8:43 am By Desh Kapoor

This guy is hand-in-glove with the extremists in Pakistan. He is the main sympathizer in the establishment of the Jehadi elements in ISI/Army as well as non-state actors. And his utterances in India were symptomatic of that. When he came here, he didn’t come here to create a dialog, but to break whatever dialog was going on. And now, as the violence in Pakistan escalates against the Shias and the Christians, Rehman Malik is again there to obfuscate the issues.... Read more

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 11:12 pm By Desh Kapoor

A paper titled “The Mesh of Civilizations and International Email Flows,” written by researchers at Stanford, Cornell, Yahoo! and Qatar’s Computational Research Institute; has come out with rather interesting insights into who in the world is emailing whom? What brings senders and recipients of the email exchanges together? Apparently, the following factors: GDP, trade, language, non-Commonwealth colonial relations, and a couple of academic-sounding cultural metrics, like power-distance, individualism, masculinity and uncertainty Having a border, or a number of international flights...

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 10:23 pm By Desh Kapoor

A new study lays to rest the nonsense that the right-wingers in US keep harping on. Global Warming IS real. Temperatures haven’t spiked like this in the last 11,000 years! Research released Thursday in the journal Science uses fossils of tiny marine organisms to reconstruct global temperatures back to the end of the last ice age. It shows how the globe for several thousands of years was cooling until an unprecedented reversal in the 20th century. Scientists say it is... Read more

Simple Bedside test to distinguish between a Stroke and innocuous dizziness

Last updated on: March 11, 2013 at 11:39 am By Desh Kapoor

To distinguish between a stroke and harmless dizziness is very important and difficult in general. It feels very similar but a stroke can be catastrophic! It is important to know what is a stroke and what is not… and even in the best of hospitals, this can be difficult in the first instance. The diagnosis of stroke in patients with severe dizziness, vomiting, difficulty walking and intolerance to head motion is difficult, Newman-Toker says. He estimates there are 4 million... Read more
