Sudan Crisis

The look on this child's face says it all.While the media is busy covering Iran Iraq Afghanistan etc. No one has bothered to show to the world what is happening in the rest of the world .For the past 5 the conlict has been raging on in Darfur.It has so far claimed 450,000 lives and displaced around 2 million ,along with that it has left around 4 million people dependent on outside aid.

This conflict has made Sudan the most unstable nation of the world.This has made Sudan to allow more peace keeping forces on its soil.

The security and human rights situation in Darfur has deteriorated since Sudan's government and one of the rebel factions signed peace agreement on 5th May 2006 .The situation is so severe that US Government has Darfur aerial Bombardment as the first genocide of 21st century.

Working of Stock Exchange

A stock exchange, share market or bourse is a corporation or mutual organization which provides facilities for stock brokers and traders, to trade company stocks and other securities. Stock exchanges also provide facilities for the issue and redemption of securities, as well as, other financial instruments and capital events including the payment of income and dividends. The securities traded on a stock exchange include: shares issued by companies, unit trusts and other pooled investment products and bonds. To be able to trade a security on a certain stock exchange, it has to be listed there. Usually there is a central location at least for record keeping, but trade is less and less linked to such a physical place, as modern markets are electronic networks, which gives them advantages of speed and cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange is by members only. The initial offering of stocks and bonds to investors is by definition done in the primary market and subsequent trading is done in the secondary market. A stock exchange is often the most important component of a stock market. Supply and demand in stock markets is driven by various factors which, as in all free markets, affect the price of stocks.

There is usually no compulsion to issue stock via the stock exchange itself, nor must stock be subsequently traded on the exchange. Such trading is said to be off exchange or over the counter. This is the usual way that bonds are traded. Increasingly, stock exchanges are part of a global market for securities.

Overcrowded in SPACE:NASA steers clear

Traffic in space is getting so congested that flight controllers in the past few weeks have had to nudge three spacecraft out of harm’s way, in one case to prevent the craft from colliding with its own trash.

On July 23, controllers in Houston raised the orbit of the International Space Station by roughly five miles to avoid hitting a half-ton tank of ammonia that a spacewalking astronaut had tossed out earlier in the day while doing some housecleaning on the $100 billion outpost.

Another episode took place on July 4, as the nation relaxed for the holiday. Ground controllers at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., fired up the engines on NASA’s CloudSat, a $217 million environmental satellite that peers inside cloud formations with a powerful radar, to dodge a mini satellite launched by Iran in 2005.

Officials and private space experts say episodes like these illustrate the danger of a drastic rise in satellites and space debris in Earth’s orbit. Early this year, after decades of growth, the federal catalog of detectable objects (four inches wide or larger) orbiting Earth reached 10,000, including dead satellites, old rocket engines and junkyards of whirling debris left over from chance explosions and weapon tests.

Now, that number has jumped to 12,000. China’s test of an antisatellite weapon in January and four spacecraft breakups in February, one of them mysterious, have contributed to the buildup of debris. Space officials worry that a speeding bit of space junk could shatter an object into dozens or hundreds of fragments, starting a chain reaction of destruction.

Experts said that moving spacecraft out of the way to avoid collisions, once a rare way of dealing with potential threats, is becoming increasingly common.

On June 22, nearly two weeks before the CloudSat maneuver, ground controllers at Goddard nudged NASA’s Terra, an environmental satellite, out of harm’s way.

American space experts had calculated that debris from China’s antisatellite test might hit the $1.3 billion spacecraft, which can gauge environmental health by measuring changes in the greenness of the planet’s surface.

The Chinese weapon test, on Jan. 11, shattered an aging weather satellite into hundreds of bits, in what space experts describe as the worst satellite fracture of the space age.

Soon after that, four more breakups added to the debris problem: On Feb. 2, a new Chinese navigation satellite suffered an apparent engine failure that left it in dozens and perhaps hundreds of pieces. On Feb. 14, an abandoned Russian engine broke into roughly 60 detectable pieces, apparently because residual fuel had exploded.

On Feb. 18, a retired spacecraft jointly developed by China and Brazil suddenly and mysteriously broke into dozens of pieces. American experts suspect it was the victim of a collision with other space debris.

Then on Feb. 19, a large Russian space tug exploded, apparently from residual fuel, creating a cloud of about 1,000 pieces of detectable debris.

Orbital Debris Quarterly News, a NASA publication, noted that at least three of the four breakups appeared to have been preventable if more caution had been exercised in designing and operating the vehicles.

Boeing 777

Air India is now going to acquire 68 new aircrafts of which there is going to be a new fleet of boeing 777-200 LR and ER so I thought y not try and get sum information on it from the way i see it.Technological point of view.

The Boeing 777 is the first jetliner to be 100 percent digitally designed using three-dimensional computer graphics. Throughout the design process, the airplane was "pre-assembled" on the computer, eliminating the need for a costly, full-scale mock-up.

Boeing is offering its 777 customers new innovations that take advantage of the space in the overhead area of the airplane -- the area located between the top of the stow bins and the crown of the airplane. These innovations will allow operators to use the overhead space for crew rest stations and storage.

Thanks to a new wing, more efficient engine, and a lighter structure, the 777 makes efficient use of fuel. And this, in turn, means lower emissions per passenger seat. For every pound of fuel conserved, three fewer pounds of carbon dioxide are generated. The bottom line: Fuel efficiency isn't just good for economics, it's good for the environment.


Boeing 777 Facts

• The first 777 entered service on June 7, 1995. Since then 777s have flown more than than two million flights.
• There are 3 million parts in a 777 provided by more than 900 suppliers from 17 countries around the world.
• In 2004, the 777 reached 500 deliveries -- faster than any other twin-aisle commercial airplane in history.
• On Feb. 15, 1996, the 777 was named winner of the prestigious Robert J. Collier Trophy by the U.S. National Aeronautic Association. The award honored the Boeing 777 as the top aeronautical achievement of 1995.
• The 777 is capable of cruising at altitudes up to 43,100 feet.
• Boeing engineers designed and electronically pre-assembled the 777 using computers. New laboratory facilities enabled the various airplane systems to be tested together as a single integrated entity in simulated flight conditions, before the first jetliner took to the air.
• The 777's landing gear is the largest ever incorporated into a commercial jetliner. With six wheels on each main landing gear, and two wheels on the nose gear, it has an unmistakable footprint.
• The Industrial Designer's Society of America presented its Industrial Design Excellence award in 1992 for the 777 passenger cabin, and in 1993 for the 777's flight-deck design.
• On Nov. 9-10, 2005, a Boeing 777-200LR Worldliner set a new world record for distance traveled non-stop by a commercial jetliner. The 777-200LR set a record distance of 11,664 nautical miles (21,601 km) on a route traveling eastbound from Hong Kong to London (Heathrow). The flight lasted 22 hours and 42 minutes. The achievements was recognized by the U.S. National Aeronautics Association, The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale and the Guinness Book of Records.
• The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale recognized the Boeing 777 in April 1997 for achieving a speed and distance record for airplanes in its size and class. The 777 set the "Great Circle Distance Without Landing" record, traveling 10,823 nautical miles (20,044 km), and it set the record for "Speed Around the World, Eastbound," traveling at an average speed of 553 mph (889 km per hour).
• The 777-200LR (Longer Range) -- the world's longest range commercial airplane -- was named in 2000 to Popular Science magazine's top 100 list.
• The 777 is named in a song by Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler. The song is contained on the CD "Sailing to Philadelphia."
• The 777 is the first airplane to have a rose named after it. The rose is deep purple-red with a citrus-like fragrance. It was developed by Olympia, Wash., Western Independent Nurseries.
• On May 30, 1995, the 777 became the first airplane in aviation history to earn U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval to fly extended-range twin-engine operations (ETOPS) at entry into service. On that date, the FAA awarded 180-minute ETOPS to the Pratt & Whitney-powered Boeing 777.
• The 777 underwent the most extensive flight-test program ever conducted on a commercial jetliner. The flight-test program included nine airplanes, which flew more than 7,000 hours and 4,900 flights.
• The data shared and transferred on the network during the design phase of the 777 program totaled 1,847,930,000,000 bytes of production data.
• Today's 777 operators enjoy a 99 percent dispatch reliability rate -- the highest amongst all twin-aisle airplanes in service today.
• The flight-control system for the 777 airplane is different from those on other Boeing airplane designs. Rather than have the airplane rely on cables to move the ailerons, elevator, and rudder, Boeing designed the 777 with fly-by-wire technology. As a result, the 777 uses wires to carry electrical signals from the pilot control wheel, column, and pedals to a primary flight computer.
• There is approximately 50,000 cubic feet of volume in a 777-300, and 40,000 cubic feet in a 777-200.
• A lightly loaded 777 can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than six seconds.
