Cool poem ...this is appreciation not plagiarism hats off to Tara :)
Success story or is it the Great Fall of China ??
China will probably overtake Germany to become the world's largest exporter
though its exports in 2009 had fallen 16 percent from a year earlier, according
to figures released Sunday by the General Administration of Customs (GAC).
But Chinese experts and officials said the country was far from being a
real trade power if measured by exports structure, technological innovation and
industry competitiveness.
GAC figures showed China's monthly exports in December 2009 were worth
130.7 billion U.S. dollars, up 17.7 percent from a year earlier. It was the
first rise since November 2008, when the country's exports contracted 2.2
percent year on year after sluggish overseas demand crippled China's export
engine.
In total, GAC figures showed that China's exports in 2009 stood at 1.2
trillion U.S. dollars, down 16 percent from 2008.
Germany, which had been since 2002 holding the title as the world's
largest exporter, didn't unveil its export value in 2009 yet.
But BGA, the Federation of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade, had
forecast that Germany's exports in 2009 might fall 18 percent to 816 billion
euros (about 1.18 trillion U.S. dollars).
"The prospect that China will overtake Germany to become top global
exporter only means that China has indeed become a large trading country in
terms of exporting scale," said Zhao Jinping, a researcher with the Development
Research Center of the State Council (cabinet).
"But in terms of the structure of exports, technological innovation and
industry competitiveness, China is far from being eligible for the title of
'trade power'," he told Xinhua.
According to Zhao, China's exports had changed from labor-intensive
products in the 1990s to current technology-intensive products, and electrical
and electronic products as well as high-tech products have become a most
important part of China's exports.
But China's technology-intensive exports fell in the category of
processing and assembling trade. About 83 percent of its high-tech exports and
75 percent of electronic exports were made by foreign-funded enterprises, Zhao
said.
He said German enterprises put more emphasis on technology, branding,
quality and services, which generated higher added-value.
Zhao said a full recovery of China's trade might take another several
years. China should promote exports of high value-added products through
branding and technological innovation, he added.
Zhong Shan, vice minister of commerce, agreed that China was not a strong
trade power. "China should adjust the product structure and transform its growth
pattern," he said.
In December 2009, China's imports hit record monthly high to reach 112.3
billion U.S. dollars, up 55.9 percent from the same period of 2008, according to
the GAC.
The Fujian-based Industrial Securities said in a research note Sunday
that the jump of December's imports resulted from strong domestic demand for
commodities and mechanical equipment that were necessary in construction of
infrastructure projects and property.
Imports of raw materials that were used in manufacturing trade also rose
significantly, it said.
According to the GAC, China's imports of iron ore in 2009 rose 41.6
percent from a year earlier to 630 million tonnes, at an average price of 79.9
U.S. dollars per tonne.
In 2009, the economy imported 200 million tonnes of crude oil, up 13.9
percent from 2008, at an average price of 438 U.S. dollars per tonne.
The country's imports in 2009 stood at 1.01 trillion U.S. dollars, down
11.2 percent from a year earlier, said the GAC.
In December 2009, China's foreign trade amounted to 243 billion U.S.
dollars, which represented a year-on-year increase of 32.7 percent and a
month-to-month rise of 16.7 percent.
In total, China's foreign trade in 2009 dropped 13.9 percent from a year
earlier to 2.21 trillion U.S. dollars and its trade surplus last year slid 34.2
percent year on year to 196.1 billion U.S. dollars.
According to the GAC, the European Union (EU) continued to be China's
biggest trading partner in 2009, with two-way trade totaling 364.1 billion U.S.
dollars, down 14.5 percent from a year earlier.
Trade between China and the United States, the country's second biggest
trade partner, fell 10.6 percent to 298.3 billion U.S. dollars.
Japan remained China's No. 3 trade partner with bilateral trade totaling
228.9 billion U.S. dollars, down 14.2 percent from 2008, according to the GAC.

Jamia$cope
Yes , I woke up in the morning with a desire to help the world, dont be alarmed ! this happens with me quit often mostly the desire is gone by the time I get out bed and sometimes (very rarely !) it lasts uptil the time I have my morning tea , infact I think the whole point of the morning tea or coffee is to make idealistic selfless thoughts vanish or in toher words to ..."wake up". Anyways enough with the rambling , this time I got an idea ,an idea to help out my juniors infact all my college mates say hello to Jamia$cope.
This is not a big thing and it certainly wont make me any money , but it might be really helpful to my juniors . Out of my four years in engineering college , 90% of time was spent on collecting notes , photocopying previosu papers , photocopying "relevant " pages form"relevant" textbooks you get the drift right ? yes , in short for building my exam time inventory. So, I thought why not provide my juniors with this inventory .....its gonna be available 24 hours , its gonna be there for everybody and its gonna be free!! . So ya thats the idea of Jamia$cope , it will allow students to download previous years papers ,previous year notes ,"relevant " ebooks the real cool thing is.....that seniors will rate the book ,the papers and everything . If you are an engg. student at Jamia you know the value when a senior says -"buy that book and study paper is gonna come from there " or look up previosu years papers wahi repeat hota hai " ....so on . But as they say- there is no point in having the party , if its not cool enough . Yup,so its definately gonna be cool .The coolest thing is you are gonna login with your jamiarollno. so only jamia students allowed AND STRICTLY NO ADS!!.
I have absolutely no werb designing experience I looked up some tutorials .....and there are some cool sites out there like weebly which helps one design their own websites and there is the immense problem of where to store that huge chunk of data all the papers and stuff .pus its gotta be linked up proper so have to learn php i guess ddon really know in that area but hey if a crow can learn to shit on a human i can learn php (it doesnt make sense to me either !) .
Anyways lets see if this idea lasts beyond the evening tea , maybe it will cuz this time I am doing it for all the juniors and I have no profit in this , feels good inside !

Inspiring lines from Lord of the rings
Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow
And many miles be still to go
But under a tall tree I will lie
and let the clouds go sailing by
To heal my heart and drown my woe
Rain may fall and wind may blow
And many miles be still to go
But under a tall tree I will lie
and let the clouds go sailing by
One more poem ....from Udaan
Chhoti-chhoti chhitrayi yaadein
Bichhi hui hain lamhon ki lawn par.
Nange
pair unpar chalte-chalte
Itni door chale aaye
Ki ab bhool gaye hain
–
Joote kahan utaare the.
Aedi komal thi, jab aaye the.
Thodi si
naazuk hai abhi bhi.
Aur nazuk hi rahegi
In khatti-meethi yaadon ki shararat
Jab tak inhe gudgudati rahe.
Sach, bhool gaye hain
Ki
joote kahan utaare the.
Par lagta hai,
Ab unki zaroorat nahin."
Bichhi hui hain lamhon ki lawn par.
Nange
pair unpar chalte-chalte
Itni door chale aaye
Ki ab bhool gaye hain
–
Joote kahan utaare the.
Aedi komal thi, jab aaye the.
Thodi si
naazuk hai abhi bhi.
Aur nazuk hi rahegi
In khatti-meethi yaadon ki shararat
Jab tak inhe gudgudati rahe.
Sach, bhool gaye hain
Ki
joote kahan utaare the.
Par lagta hai,
Ab unki zaroorat nahin."
