Are the purple lines straight or bent? 

4) 

Do you see gray areas in between the squares? 

Now where did they come from? 

5)

You should see a man's face and also a word... 

Hint: Try tilting your head to the right, the world begins with 'L'

If you take a look at the following ???picture , let me tell you it is not animated. ???Your eyes are making it move. ???To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. ???Or look at the black center of each circle and it will stop moving. ???But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it.... ???Weird ???

5Cs

A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs

* Character, * Commitment, * Conviction, * Courtesy, * Courage

The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures. The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is: "This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization,

This is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset, this is the time to show more commitments to the customers, this is the time show values of our company to the world, and this is the time to stand by our Nation". Recession will run automatically.

Real Cause of Recession

Industrialists concentrating more on manipulation of money market to make quick wealth, istead managing their core business with hard work and honesty is the main reaon.

Since you desired that the views should be penned after some study, I like to put forth some as I understand it.

1. Why a moderate good quality Car should cost more than a moderate house? Why our indegeneous manaufacturers are not able to produce vehicles and other materials of equal or better quality compared to the imported ones and the ones manufactured locally by them in India? Why the HM is langiuishing while every other foreign brands here are able to grow?

2 Why are we exporting most of our national wealth in raw form dirt cheap, and import the finished products at very high cost? Why is that we have to import Telecom Hardware and soft ware from foreign companies while our telecom PSUs lot of infrastructructure and excellent manpower are idling?.

3. Why 1000 acres of arable land is required for a 'Small Car' factory. Welligton Island in Kerala which occupies a Major Port, The Naval HQ, Air port, Railway terminal, many big godowns and other related infrastrure, is only 800 acres.

Why is it necessaryt to take over cultivable and fertile agricultural land from farmers, for SEZ; and that too in thousands of acres where lots of waste lands across the country begging for development ?

4. Why private oil and natural gas explorer is allowed to export the countries natural wealth while the country is importing these to meet for most of it's need?

5. Why is the industrialist go on increase the prices commodities like Steel, Oil etc., unresonably while Mother Earth never increase the cost of these? For example unit price of the natural gas at the exploration point is less than 1 dollar, but look at what price it is sold? Similary Mother Earth give the oil free, and people put exorbitant cost to it.

6. Why are the land price and cost of buildgs sky rocketing for no reason?

Why good quality education and hospital facilities are so expensive and beyond the reach of comman man? Why a fresher is paid 5 to 10 times the salary of an already working person of ten years experience?

7. Why are there thousands and thousands of Mutual funds when most of the exisitng funds do not pay any dividend for years and the invest capital growth is negative and the fundmanger continue to live lavishly eating into investors capital? Why are companies allowed to bring in high value IPO's without adequate ordr book value in sight?

8. Why is it that while National and Private banks made huge profit year after year, they charge the customer for everything; startinf from the cheque leaf to the credit in cash to one's account from an out station bank?

9. Why is it while fuel price went up by less 5%, many govt. and private transport companies increased cost of travel and transport by 20 to 30% and then no reduction done while fuel prices were reduced more than 10%.

10. Why are our political leaders invariably, want to be cheered with huge flower garlands costing tens of thousands rupees while the poor families they suppose to represent are langishing for at a day's meal? At leat 500 families can have days food with that sort of money?

The list can go on. I would request the members to have a look at the topic 'Correction not Recession' posted by me elswhere in this space.

How can we call if changes happening to these now a 'Recession". The inevitable and dire need of the time was a 'Correction' of mind set of various stake holders; in Private as well as in the government agencies across the globe, and that is what is happening now. not willful but out of compulsion. This correction is for a positive a change. Let us keep our fingers crossed?

A great story on recession, how it's impact !!!

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling "Wada-Pav" by the roadside. He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers. His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of "Wada-pavs". He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up.. He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.

Then something strange happened. The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times." The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colourful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic. He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right". "We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Good objective process for coming up with a quote for a job.

This an excellent question which probably comes up 1000 times a minute all over the world. There are so many different approaches to this that it explains why software metrics never deliver. However, a good rule of thumb is, estimate how long you think it will take and double it. Why? Well designing is never free, layout is not free, deploying is not free, meetings are not free, but you have to do all of those as well as code. Not to mention document the code (if you're smart).

So no matter how you break it down, in the end you still need to leave room for much of this. Don't forget phone calls, email, faxes, and mail aren't free either. Neither is gas or travel time. And don't forget Fed and State taxes, and overhead. Damn, by the time you make this quote you're at $250 an hour!!! But seriously, you need to think well ahead and give yourself some room. If you price it too cheap, it will show up somewhere. Either you'll lose money on it, or they will get a poor product or worse both.

Also, the greatest evil I know of in any software project is scope creep. Set your design in stone. Any changes will need to be discussed. Make mock ups, pencil and paper work great. Get the scope of your work as well described and understood as possible. After you speak with your customer, write up the proposal based on what you understand the project to be. Have the customer sign on off on it. Make sure you both understand that any new features have to wait until after the first go round is mostly finished. Otherwise, the old, can you fix this, can you change that, can you move this, can you redo that, will cost you dearly in time and money.

Software projects fail daily. Some for huge sums for the exact reason I give above. If the project is huge, break it down into small parts and finish them in order. Build on successes not on future possibilities. Always compare yourself to an actual contractor or architect. Those people won't change plans for any reason unless there is money involved, and for good reason. You don't expect another bathroom to just be drawn on the blue prints and hope it all goes well. You need to plan the plumbing, the walls, the zoning, the cost, the changes, the materials, etc. Just because software is a physical manifestation of a mental exercise, doesn't mean its free, its very very expensive.

Also, share your progress with your customer. Have them weigh in on your ideas and implementation. Also, think like a contractor, don't put marble floors in a rental apartment. Put tile, or carpet. Spend your time and money on what will get the most bang for the buck. If they need an order entry system, write it plane but with good functionality. You can always pretty it up later with CSS.

One last thing. If you are just starting out, if you can, barter for the job. Tell them, hey, I'll do this for you at a discount if I can have my next ten clients test drive your site, or talk to you about how we worked together. Don't price it cheap for no reason, get something for it. They feel they got a bargain and you get the word of mouth you can't buy with 1000 pages of advertising. Good luck. HTH

I am going to create it for me.
