OUR NATION HAILS THE BOXER KING

Though the Beijing Olympics has come to an end,our country still has many reasons to celebrate it with pomp and ponder. That’s because of the grotesque performance of our sportspersons in China. If you had noticed the ovation of our achievers back home, you would have found that ,a medal-less boxer Akhil Kumar was hailed for his laborious deeds on the big stage. He emerged as a true winner, if one has to go by the boisterous welcome he received at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on the d-day. He hogged all the limelight instead of the Bronze medalists Sushil Kumar and Vijender Singh. The reason behind this being that of his stunning and outstanding wits with which he played his way. Our people are all praises and wishes for him.After noticing this my thought was like…..’What other investment apart from hardwork and smartwork put together in appropriate proportions costs so little but pays so much in return??’

Mobile Phone Emergencies

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. Emergency

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
Also in Australia , the Australian emergency number 000 can be dialled whilst your mobile phone keyboard is locked. This is another reason why 000 receives so many false emergency calls!

2. Hidden Battery Power

Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

3. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone!:

star-hash-zero-six-hash

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.Not only the above, but also in Australia your stolen phone is added to a "Stolen Mobile Phone" database, so if your phone is found later on it can be returned to you.

Navigation in ATC

Navigation means knowing where you are, where you want to go, and having a good idea of how much time and fuel it will take to get there. Navigation exactly means finding your way. There are two types of navigation.

*. TERMINAL NAVIGATION
*. ENROUTE NAVIGATION
The process of navigation is that , the position of the air craft is first made fixed and by determining the angle of deflection and the altitude the path of the aircraft is deduced. The VHF Omnidirectional Range navigation system is generally denoted as VOR . The basic principle of operation of the VOR is very simple: the VOR facility transmits two signals at the same time. One signal is constant in all directions, while the other is rotated about the station. The airborne equipment receives both signals, looks (electronically) at the difference between the two signals, and interprets the result as a radial from the station. the most important point to be noted is the radial signals of a VOR always point away from the station . The information is send through MORSE CODE. Another instrument known as DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) is used to measure the distance of the aircraft from the ground level. It has a transponder and interrogator which operates with the freq of 915 -10200 Hz which is used for this distance measurement.here the reflection of the pulses paves the way for distance measurement.
