Important
Highlights of the Week
Marijuana
trade, possession, distribution and selling, now becomes legal in
more than half the United States. A
legal, well-regulated pot industry would be a safer, less
crime-infested one, but it would not necessarily be a bigger one:
tobacco use has plunged as regulation has been tightened and public
education about its health risks has improved.
The
Fall of Berlin Wall will celebrate its 25th
Anniversary on Sunday, 9th.
The good health of West Germany saw heavy population shift from the
East side. The divide in growth between two erstwhile segments is
still a big worry.
Goa
gets a new Chief Minister. Manohar Parrikar moves into the Central
cabinet as Defence Minister and Laxmikant Parsekar fills his shoes
in Panaji. Let us hope the good, intelligent, hard-working person in
the new Defence Minister really solves some of the biggest problems
plaguing our Defence system.
The
jury is still out on the amount of usage of Facebook is on the rise
in India and China. One survey puts them as the No. 1 and 2 users
and another does not list them in top 10.
Good
scores in UGC NET will now not only lead candidates to a valuable
PhD but also make them available for immediate recruitment by PSUs.
Indian Oil Corporation has already issued an advertisement asking
qualified students to send in job application. So, please cash on if
you can.
