India today called for accelerating deployment of green technologies to tackle climate change problems, saying it was the quickest way to lower the cost of the renewable options.
A two-day climate change conference, attended by 58 delegations and 30 ministers, noted that environmentally-sound and climate-friendly technologies could be promoted by international cooperation and appropriate domestic action.
The Delhi Statement on Global Cooperation on Climate Technology, adopted during the climate change conference in the city, would form a part of discussions at the climate summit in Copenhagen in December, Environment and Forests Minister Jairam Ramesh today said while concluding the conference. “The Statement will go into the preparatory process for Copenhagen,” he said.
The Statement called for increased public financing in technology development, besides emphasising on capacity building, training, public awareness and education for successful uptake of technologies for adaptation and mitigation.
It also called for exploration of concepts such as a centre or networks of centres to support and stimulate rapid development and deployment of innovative technologies for climate mitigation and adaptation. The statement also demanded a mechanism to help draw up technology roadmaps to decide on specific adaptation and mitigation measures, to be adopted by developing countries.
Importantly, the Statement said, “..reaffirm our commitment to the objective, provisions and principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to the Bali Road Map and to the Bali Action Plan, which seeks to enhance implementation of the Convention, culminating at Copenhagen in December 2009.”
The Delhi Statement also recognised the roles of both public and private financing to enable the accelerated large-scale development, transfer and deployment of technologies for adaptation and mitigation.
“The quickest way of lowering the cost of many renewable options is to scale up their rate of deployment and diffusion in developing countries,” said Ramesh while pitching for accelerating deployment and diffusion of green technologies to tackle climate change.
Speaking in the event, Danish Climate and Energy Minister Connie Hedegaard said the adaptation and mitigation efforts to tackle climate change would require “three digit billion dollars” every year. “Without money, there will be no deal in Copenhagen,” Hedegaard said, underlining that the world cannot afford a failure in the climate change negotiations to replace the Kyoto Protocol.
She also said there were “clear signs” of renewed political momentum in the climate change negotiations in the run-up to the Copenhagen summit.
“The Danish Prime Minister has proposed to have a meeting of the Heads of State in the last phase of the negotiations in Copenhagen as part of his efforts to reach a deal,” she added. Hedegaard explained that the meeting of the EU Heads of State next week would be able to break the logjam regarding European Union finance ministers failing to come up with a financial package to support technology transfer. On a comprehensive climate deal at Copenhagen, she said the details would not be worked out, but the main building blocks would hopefully be in place.

Maintaining that price stability was necessary for financial stability, RBI’s Trend and Progress report, released this evening, said higher inflation could push up the yield curve, which could result in significant mark-to-market losses for fixed income instruments. This, in turn, had adverse implications on bank profitability, as banks had to benchmark their bond portfolio to the prevailing prices. Bond yields had an inverse relationship with prices.
Over the past 12 months, governments across the world have provided large booster doses to the economy to spur growth. This has resulted in higher deficits.

Tata Motors may check Nano for faulty switches
NEW DELHI: Tata Motors said it may undertake a pre-emptive check on the 7,500-odd Nano in pics | Nano Europa | Making of Nano | Xenon XT | Tata Prima
Nanos that have been delivered till date after a faulty Nano in pics | Nano Europa | Making of Nano | Xenon XT | Tata Prima
combination switch in the world’s
cheapest car resulted in fires in at least three cases across the country.
Three cases of fire in the car had been reported in the past few days in Delhi, Lucknow and Ahmedabad. There were no reports of injury or loss of life in any of the incidents.
The country's largest manufacturer of cars and trucks by sales said it was not considering a recall of the car for the time being. It said its experts will check all the cars with customers, purely as a precautionary measure. Unlike in the US and European car markets, recall of cars is not mandatory in India, even in cases of technical faults.
Nano in July, said it was not considering any re-engineering in the car despite the fact that the fires were caused by a common problem in all the cases. The cars were stationary when the fires were reported. Tata Motors has not started to export the car yet. It refused to share the number of Nanos parked at its Pantnagar factory in Uttrakhand and those with dealers.

job interviews
job interviews tips and techniques, sample interview questions and answers, sample interviews letters and templates
Job interviews are easier for interviewers and the interviewees if you plan and prepare questions and answers, and use proper interviewing techniques.
On this page are job-hunting and job interviews tips, samples of tough interviews questions, and answers, for interviewers and interviewees. There are also many ideas for group selection assessment recruitment methods, the most effective way to recruit people for most jobs.
If you are finding it difficult to get interviews for local jobs, here's a very direct job-hunting method which can be very effective.
Job interviews are critical to the quality of an organization's people. Good job interviews processes and methods increase the quality of people in an organization. Poor job interviews methods result in poor selection, which undermines organizational capabilities, wastes management time, and increases staff turnover.
Below are samples of interviews questions asked at interviews. Many interviewers and interviewees are keenly interested in 'tough' interview questions and certainly interviewees need to prepare answers for 'tough' questions. However, from the interviewer's perspective asking 'tough' questions is not usually helpful. Interviews should not place undue pressure on interviewees, because people tend to withdraw and become defensive under pressure. We learn more about people when they relax.
It's better therefore to focus on 'good' interview questions rather than 'tough' ones. Good interview questions encourage interviewees to think about themselves and to give the interviewer clear and revealing information as to the interviewee's needs, capabilities, experience, personality, and suitability for the job. The best interview questions are therefore the questions which most help interviewees to reveal their skills, knowledge, attitudes, and feelings to the interviewer.
The UK (consistent with Europe) Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006, effective from 1st October 2006, make it unlawful to discriminate against anyone on the grounds of age.
This has several implications for job interviews, documents used, and the training of people who conduct job interviews. For example, while not unlawful, the inclusion of age and date-of-birth sections on job application forms is not recommended (as for all other documentation used in assessing people).
For further guidance about the effects of Age Equality and Discrimination in job interviews, (and in other aspects of managing people), see the Age Diversity information. This is important for interviewers and interviewees.
Much of this guidance also applies to students seeking internships and work experience placements. Effective interview techniques, and the processes surrounding interviews, apply to all situations involving candidate selection, whatever the position and situation.
If interviews make you nervous (as they do to most people), take comfort from the interview story about the wrong Guy, which is also a great lesson for interviewers in the need for good preparation and communication, and why high pressure in interviews doesn't get to the truth, it merely forces people to tell you what you want to hear.
Interviewers and interviewees can maybe take some inspiration for how to handle the interview, and personal and organisational values, from the love and spirituality page, which addresses the increasingly important area of bringing compassion and humanity to work.

Economic problem
The problem concerning the choice of resources is called” economic problem” Being a human being we all know that our wants are unsatisfied & at the same time the means are available to satisfy our wants are limited. It is simply impossible to produce every thing for each individual, as no economy has unlimited resources So every economy has to make choice regarding there efficient use of available resources of economy and there arises economic problem. Thus, economic problem we mean problem of choice and problem of economical use of resources. But economic problem is not the problem of distribution of present resources only because it also the problem of future growth and distribution of the resources. Thus, we can say that economic problem is that problem which is concerned with the proper allocation of present resources as well as future growth and distribution of resources.
