They are coming from far and wide – from Singapore, Dubai and even Canada – to fulfil a promise made years ago. As over 35 students of the 1993 batch of mechanical engineering course of the Punjab Engineering College (PEC) get together here Friday, it will be a unique reunion.
The students will get together on the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year (of this century). Their reunion will be on 11.11.11. That is not all.
They will be meeting in Chandigarh’s Sector 11 near house number 11. The time of the reunion will be 11.11 a.m. The entire sequence of their reunion will read – 11.11.11.11.11.11.11.
‘Five or six years back the batch decided to have a reunion and planned it on this unique date. Some are coming from Singapore, Dubai and even Canada. Some students of that batch are in Chandigarh itself while others are settled in various parts of India. They are all coming,’ Anurag Aggarwal, president of the PEC old students association, told IANS.
The authorities at PEC, now re-christened as the PEC University of Technology, are gearing up to host the batch of students coming for the unique reunion. PEC is the alma mater of late NASA astronaut Kalpana Chawla.
‘The students of the 1993 batch had made a promise while passing out that they will meet after some years. We are happy they are keeping their promise of the reunion after so many years. About 35 students are actually coming,’ said K.K. Garg, PEC’s chairman of alumni relations.
In a recent e-mail communication to PEC authorities, Singapore-based Sanjeev Sharma wrote: ‘I think our story can be encouraging to others. And who knows, we might set a trend of alumni returning in such huge groups and contributing to the overall development of PEC community.’
After the batch gets together in Sector 11, they will go around their alma mater and attend some functions here. They will then be headed for the Kasauli-Solan hills

DISADVANTAGES OF PLASTER OF PARIS GANESHA



One should prepare the Ganesh idol from china clay or mud. Nowadays, idols are made from plaster of Paris so that they become light weight and more attractive. There is a difference between idols made from mud and plaster of Paris. There are references in the Purâns that Ganapati was created from grime. Hence it is appropriate to use a Ganesh idol made of mud for ritualistic worship. The pure spiritual particles (pavitraks) of Ganapati get attracted to a greater extent towards an idol made of mud than to that made of plaster of Paris.

Causes and Effects of Land Pollution


Know about land pollution

Pollution is a global problem. It has affected the lives of millions of people and caused several deaths and health problems. Land pollution is one of the types of pollution. Land pollution is pollution of our planet’s land surface

Domestic waste. Every single day, tons and tons of domestic waste is dumped ranging from huge pieces of rubbish such as unused refrigerator to fish bones. If all these wastes are not disposed of properly, the damage they can do to the environment and humankind can be devastating. While waste collected from homes, offices and industries may be recycled or burnt in incinerators, a large amount of rubbish is neither burnt nor recycled but is left in certain areas marked as dumping grounds. We throw away more things today and there is an increase in the quantity of solid waste. This has given rise to problems as new dumping grounds have to be found.

Industrial activities. Industrial activities also are a contributing factor to land pollution. For example, in open cast mining, huge holes are dug in the ground and these form dangerously deep mining pools. Heaps of mining waste are left behind and these waste often contain several poisonous substances that will contaminate the soil

A great many spiders do not bother with webs at all, preferring to be always on the move for the next meal. This species can be identified by scarlet red hairs covering their fangs. Their defensive posture of standing on their back legs, putting their front legs up and swaying from side to side is also a good identifier. This spider is not afraid of humans and will aggressively attack any that it feels are a threat, making it very dangerous to approach.

Two of the eight species of Brazilian wandering spider are responsible for most bites, and are found in highly populated areas of South-Eastern Brazil and the Amazon. Most bites occur because the spider wanders at night, then hides during the day in or under anything available, whether that be leaves, plants or logs on the forest floor, or shoes, clothing and boxes in people's homes.

LITTLE STAR


Twinkle twinkle little star,
How i wonder what you are?
Up about the world so high,
Like a Diamond in the sky.

Dimple shinning little Moon,
Have you got the own shine?
No no children not my own,
I have brought it from the sun!

when the sun is getting down,
we all come to your town!
Twinkle twinkle all the night,
Dimple shinning all so bright.

Child labour


Child labour refers to the employment of children at regular and sustained labour. This practice is considered exploitative by many international organizations and is illegal in many countries. Child labour was employed to varying extents through most of history, but entered public dispute with the advent of universal schooling, with changes in working conditions during the industrial revolution, and with the emergence of the concepts of workers' and children's rights.

In many developed countries, it is considered inappropriate or exploitative if a child below a certain age works. An employer is usually not permitted to hire a child below a certain minimum age. This minimum age depends on the country and the type of work involved. States ratifying the Minimum Age Convention adopted by the International Labor Organization in 1973, have adopted minimum ages varying from 14 to 16. Child labor laws in the United States set the minimum age to work in an establishment without restrictions and without parents' consent at age 16

It is divided into the pacific ocean , the Atlantic ocean , the Indian ocean , and the Arctic ocean. Oceans are full of fascinating creatures. Whales, Octopus, and Jelly fish found here.

MOON



When the Moon is not in its new phase, it can be seen on clear days or nights from anywhere on the surface of Earth if you know when to look. The Moon is the Earth’s only natural satellite, and has never been given any other scientific name. The Moon is about 384,403 kilometers from Earth, and has an approximate diameter of 3,476 km. The Moon is actually believed to be slowly moving farther away from Earth, at a rate of about 4cm per year!

>>>

The Moon makes one full orbit around the Earth every 29.5 days. During this period the Moon enters a series of phases, which changes the amount of light reflected off its surface and its visible shape to the naked eye from Earth. The Moon differs from most natural satellites of other planets in that its orbit is close to the plane of the ecliptic and not in the Earth's equatorial plane.

Exploration of the moon began in 1959 when the unmanned Luna 2 landed on its surface. Luna 2 was closely followed by Luna 3 in late 1959, which obtained the first images of the occluded far side of the moon, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 on that historic night in 1969
