Economic crisis and luxury meeting

Where is Los Cabos? If G-20 Submit would have not taken place here then not even geography scholar nor would common people be interested except rich industrialists and celebrities for whom visiting this “resort town” of Mexico is a status symbol. The resort town is surrounded by Pacific Ocean and bay of California from three sides is a beautiful place which can be afford by wealthy people only and in this resort town ministers of G-20 submit have come together to find solution to fight against world economic crisis.

19 member countries and European Union are grouped together to form G-20. These are divided into five groups each group consisting of four countries and every group gets the opportunity to organize the G-20 Submit. Previously it was hosted twice a year but due to economic crisis they have decided to organize this meeting once every year but that to in a beautiful place, this was decided on November 2011 in France. In 2009 G-20 submit took place twice in London and Pittsburg, same in 2010 in Toronto and Seoul.

In 1999 ministers of 7 developed nations met in Germany and decided to meet every year to discuss on world economic crisis. They also decided to include other developing countries such as India, China, Brazil etc. in this. The result of this was that, the 80% population of the world is represented by this G-20 ministers but this is just a matter of saying. In reality economic forum like G-20 is used by America for their benefit or it given a platform for European Union to discuss solution of their problems.

World Bank chairman Mr. Robert Zoellick before the meeting had warned that if euro crisis is not dealt seriously then it will also affect the world economy. It was clear that first deal with euro crisis and then think of yourself. IMF had got $430 billion fund and it has been decided that huge amount of share would be spending for dealing euro crisis. The reason to say G-20 is centered at America- Europe is that, the first G-20 submit in 2008 was held in America later again two submit was held in America. In 2010 it was held in Canada and South Korea, last year it took place in France and this year Mexico. Next year it will be held in Russia followed by Australia in 2014 and turkey in 2015. It does not need to mention that who among them is a member of American club.

The question is that why not India, china, South Africa can host G-20 submit. Why every time in G-20 submit the burning topic for discussion is related to European union. Is everything fine in Asia or South Africa or else they are not dealing with any such problems. India’s Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh, before the meeting stated that if euro crisis goes like this then it will affect Indian economy. Is it like Mr. Manmoham Singh wants’ to blame euro crisis for inflation in India or rupee depreciation and economic slowdown in India. In G-20 Submit Mr. Manmoham Singh emphasized more on infrastructure development, is it the only solution to deal with poverty, debt, inflation or hunger in the country?

Europe has one currency Euro and the countries which uses this currency comes under European Union. Out of 27 EU countries there are 10 countries where Euro is not accepted as their currency. These are Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithonia, Poland, Romania, Sweden and Britain. There are some countries who are not from European union have also accepted Euro as their currency such as Monaco, San Marino, Andorra, Vatican City, Montenegro and Kosovo. It is surprising that beside EU there are other six countries who have accepted Euro as there currency where as there are also countries like Greece, Spain and Italy who thinks Euro as a bell in their neck. Greece after getting bankrupt and full of debt is thinking of leaving Euro as there currency, but winning new democracy party who is supporting bailout may not leave Euro zone. In two days submit Greece was the center of discussion. Pressure was there from American- European ministers that if BRICS countries will give huge amount of share then the burden would be less for other countries. But what is the benefit of BRICS in this? $75 billion of share is given by BRICS countries of which $43 billion is from China followed by $10 billion by India Brazil and Russia where as $2 billion from South Africa. This is an example of its kind where G-20 who provides solution for economic crisis to countries does not have their own secretariat or Headquarter. In 2010 President of France Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy had suggested Seoul or Paris for G-20 Headquarter which was not agreed by Japan and Italy. South Korea in 2010 had suggested hosting online “Cyber secretariat” but no response was seen from the ministers of developed nations. It is good that secretariat expenses burden is also not there for G-20.

World of hacking

Globally there has been lot of changes which had surprised everyone but it has also give rise to lot of challenges and danger for human world. Among these the most important is the challenge against hacking. Today people are connected all through the world by internet, today every work is done globally by computer and internet. From government work to banking work is done with the help of internet it gives a global platform and if every country is working in this platform then every country is affected by hacking. Today it very easy to attack any country through hacking rather than attacking from front, it is truly said that in future the war would be in cyber world. In 2012 globally the most important issue is of cyber crime or internet hacking.

In computer world we have heard of virus attack but in today’s world hacking is even dangers than virus attack, by hacking a hacker can get information illegally and use the information against the government or any other organization. It is much easier to harm any opponent. In reality hacking is an art which deals with computer programs which is used to control different computers in the network.

According to data from American IT companies India was number one in hacking in the year 2010 but at present China is the centre of hackers and according to America China and Russia had started a cyber war against America. But it has been observed that Brazil is the centre for biggest market for hackers. China has made many laws against hacking but even though at present it is the centre for hacking. It is said that recent hacking of nearly 500 governments and non government websites in china were hacked by Chinese revolutionaries. Hacking at present is not only used for personal issues but it is used as much bigger weapon against countries and government. It is also seen that it is used as revolution, hackers has stated that in china they will continue this against internet sensor ship in the country. Unknown hackers had hacked the Chinese websites and stated the public that Chinese government has taken the control of internet and the government wants to take the control of all those things which can go against the government. In china there is lot of restriction in internet this is the reason why Google search engine has stopped its operation in china and for this new Firefox is used in china which monitors everything in internet and stops from publishing information which is harmful for country.

Hacking cannot be seen as negative all the time as hackers also helps the government and agencies to fight against crime. Through hacking hackers hack the accounts and gets the information for the government and secret agencies which helps them to fight crime. According to a report it has been seen that in 2011 issues of hacking is more common among revolutionaries who had hacked government or corporate networks to expose the truth in front of people.

Wireless energy 

Human being has reached to such a level at which nothing is impossible. There was a time when everything what man imagined was seemed to be an illusion but the dedication and curiosity of man has let to cross the line between imagination and reality and now everything is possible, there is no word called impossible in human dictionary. Man thought of light and there was bulb, man thought of flying high like bird and there was airplane, the curiosity of man has led to the invention of various means of comfort for human being. One such very important invention of man is electricity, we generate electricity from wind, velocity of water, bio gas etc. the wind energy Is converted to electric energy or the energy from the velocity of water generates electricity which s used for various purpose. It is used daily by each and every person thus whatever energy we generate is always insufficient. Thus we need to think of something different and more useful. We have seen that telephone which was a much later invention has advanced a lot by the invention of mobile phones, wireless network etc. But in case of electricity we still are lagging behind at some point we still have the old method of sourcing energy and transferring to different places with the help of copper wires which increases the cost of transfer rather, beside that we also find wires hanging throughout the city which looks dirty beside that sometimes it also give rise to various accidents. We should think of removing the copper wire and replacing it with wireless network method of transferring electricity, the same methodology used for wireless network of mobile phones. We can use towers at different places from where electricity would be transferred to different locations each tower would be covering a particular region where these towers would be supplying electricity through wireless network. The electricity generated should be transferred to different towers from where it would be supplied to various houses and buildings through wireless method.This strategy would also reduce the cost as no copper wires and electricity poles would be used and beside that it will be easy to manage electricity.

Addiction and liking:

Addiction and liking is two different things, in simple words addiction is

something on which you are depended and cannot live without it and liking is something which you love or enjoy doing it. Everyone has some liking and addictions some enjoy dancing some are addicted to smoking where as few like lying and few are addicted to movies. This differs from person to person some has some unique liking or addiction. I also have my own liking, I enjoy playing social games in internet. I can go playing games all through the day without getting bored for a second, but it cannot be said as my addiction. I have a great liking for social games and enjoy playing it. It is one of my best time pass. When I am not playing games in my free time then for sure I would be sleeping or watching movies. These things help to relax my mind and get rid of my work pressure or tension.

 I started social gaming from Farmville, it is a good game where you would be managing your farms, selling crops and earning profit. In order to expand your farm you need to add allies who will be helping you in your farm. I really enjoyed playing it and have lots of neighbors (allies) or friends who are helping my farm to expand.

The next game which I started was cityville, the concept of this game was same as Farmville but here you have to build your city this was based on modern life. You need to build shops, farms, houses for people from where you can collect rent, it has many options as compared to Farmville so it was fun playing as every time there was something new which was exciting but something was missing in Cityville which was compensated by Empire and Allies. It is complete package of entertainment where you can get everything the best thing in this game is that you can attack you allies and vice versa. It is similar to reality where government building is there, parliament, embassy, mining, hanger, army ships, fighter planes, etc adds an edge to the game. It is my best game which has something new every time, when you think that this is the extreme by the game it will again come with new things which would be beyond your expectation.

 Next game which I play is Poker it is one of the best card game according to me. One thing I don’t like in this game is that the winning meter in the game is not free to use the facility you need to invite your friends. Now I have started Army attack which is also a good game slowly it is also getting popular among my friends. There are something’s which makes the game little bit unpopular among the people according to me, as I think the game need to improve on its look it looks bit ugly. 

I have created different groups for each game where people can meet and can participate in the discussion whereas can also add new members and allies in the game. I would like to thank Zynga for so many social games which add excitement in the social gaming network.

Party Drugs:

There are various ways of entertainment in parties for youngsters such as party games, music, dance etc. As the time passes the way of entertainment and the methods used for entertainment also changes from music, games, dance, to party drugs. At present scenario party drugs are very much used in rave parties. Drugs like heroin, cocaine OPM, LSD are common in parties. The charm of dance, music is no longer in parties today without these party drugs, every day a new drug is added in the list. These parties are much known in metros where as it is also started growing in cities. In Discos, rave parties, you can easily get these stuffs. Youngsters are spending a lot of money for these drugs thus the supply of these drugs are increasing day by day in the market and thus giving rise to the world of smuggling and drug trafficking. The drug dealers are making huge amount from this and in spite of knowing that it is a crime, dealers are ready to take the risk as it has lot of money and may be  less chances of getting caught or maybe the penalty given for the crime is less as compared to the huge amount which they make. 

The supply of these drugs rises during any occasions such as Diwali, holi, New Year, Valentine’s Day etc. It has been found that during occasions the movement gets active and in spite of various securities in the city it is easily supplied in the city without any restriction, but the smugglers are not always lucky. There have been various times that they have been caught but it is common that the big fish had always escaped from the situation and are still running their so called business and filling their pockets while destroying the future of the country. 

The Narcotics department has told that beside the regular drugs like heroin, cocaine and LSD the new drugs like K-72 and K-76 is also gaining popularity and smuggling of Cobra and Snake venom is increasing day by day in rave parties and discos in Delhi and NCR regions. Delhi police has seized Cobra venom before Valentine’s Day. The NGO for animals has also carried out raid several times on state transport and private busses plying to Delhi, rescuing various poisonous snakes and Cobra venom each time. Delhi Police said “we have not found any trend existing where youngsters are hooked on to the drugs made out of highly venomous cobra," this was not popular In Delhi until before but at present it is getting its popularity among youths. He added that half-a-litre of venom costs millions of rupees in the international market. To extract that amount, traffickers would have killed as many as 100 cobras. Drugs like K-72 and K-76 is much popular in Mumbai and it is consumed by youngsters along with party pills in drinks. As per NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) data, since January 2009, a total of 108 Nigerians have been arrested in Delhi on charges of drug trafficking. Surinder Kumar Sharma, counsellor in the Society for Promotion of Youth and Masses (SPYM), who has battled drug addiction himself, said: "The usage of party drugs among the student community is less known. Usually, upper class adolescents take party drugs. Mostly, girls think taking party drugs is cool, naughty and fashionable." The party drugs come at a price of Rs. 2,000-5,000 per pill, a pinch of K-72 and K-76 costs Rs. 20,000-25,000. Due to their dwindling numbers, cobras, which were on Schedule IV in 2006, are now placed on Schedule I of the act, thus at very high protection, but they are still being widely traded. 

These drugs enhance sensation and boost energy so that revellers can dance for longer hours in the mean time it also harms the body. K-76 monocarboxylic acid (K-76 COOH) causes rapid reduction in hemolytic activities of complement and some of its components, especially C5, when injected into guinea pigs or rats. K-76 COOH suppressed Forssman shock in guinea pigs and mice and heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in guinea pigs. It also reduced the amount of protein excreted in the urine of rats with nephrotoxic nephritis and greatly prolonged the survival of (NZB X NZW) F1 female mice with a spontaneous systemic lupus erythematosus-like disease. The glomeruli of mice treated with K-76 COOH retained almost the normal histological appearance even at 1 year of age. K-76 COOH-treated mice became less sensitive to the infection of Escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, or Streptococcus pneumoniae, probably by enhancement of phagocytosis due to inhibition of factor I. K-76 COOH did not have any significant effect on a delayed-type contact skin reaction in mice, or on experimental allergic encephalitis in guinea pigs. Thus all these symptoms can also be seen in human beings resulting to death.

The other drug which is gaining its popularity among the youngsters is Yaba meaning the madness drug or Nazi Speed in Thai, is produced in Southeast and East Asia. The drug is popular in Asian communities in the United States and increasingly is available at raves and techno parties. Yaba is a combination of methamphetamine (a powerful and addictive stimulant) and caffeine. In India also it has started gaining popularity especially among the middle class and upper class due to its low price as low as Rs.80 for a single tablet. Yaba tablets typically are consumed orally. The tablets sometimes are flavored like candy (grape, orange, or vanilla). Another common method is called chasing the dragon. Users place the yaba tablet on aluminum foil and heat it from below. As the tablet melts, vapors rise and are inhaled. The drug also may be administered by crushing the tablets into powder, which is then snorted or mixed with a solvent and injected.  

Yaba has the same effect as other forms of methamphetamine it increases the heart rate, increases blood pressure, damage small blood vessels in the brain that can lead to stroke. Chronic use of the drug can result in inflammation of the heart lining. Overdoses can cause hyperthermia (elevated body temperature), convulsions, and death. Individuals who use Yaba also may have episodes of violent behavior, paranoia, anxiety, confusion, and insomnia. Although most users administer Yaba orally, those who inject the drug expose themselves to additional risks, including contracting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), hepatitis B and C, and other blood-borne viruses. The Yaba causes much damage as compared to other party drugs. According to Dr Yusuf Merchant, the head of Drug Abuse Information Rehabilitation and Research Centre (DAIRRC), says that Yaba is much more dangerous than other drugs as the continuous use of cocaine can cause 10% damage in 5 years, Yaba causes 90% damage in the same period.

Slowly but steadily the silent killer is creeping into India from East and Southeast Asia. Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam top the list of Yaba producing countries. From there, the madness drug travels to Bangladesh and Myanmar. Forming the so-called Golden Triangle, it enters India from the eastern border Kolkata being one of the hot entry points. Yaba is spreading its tentacles in major cities across India. Even more worrying is the fact that the drug is being targeted at a relatively young age-group including the school kids. Dr Merchant feels that youngsters can be targeted easily as Yaba makes them feel energetic, aphrodisiac and one can even go without sleep, thus helping in studies initially. Moreover, Yaba doesn't need to be smoked or injected but just swallowing a pill.
