QR CODE

A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.
Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
The technology has seen a large uptake in Japan and South Korea. However, in the West there has been a far slower adoption of QR codes

Amul Green

The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) that heralded a White Revolution by marketing milk and milk products under Amul brand across India, has virtually ‘diversified' into ushering in a Green Revolution now, planting 2.35 crore saplings across the State in the last four years.

The 17 milk unions, affiliated with GCMMF, had launched a mass tree plantation programme in 2007 that involved nearly 30 lakh members taking up the campaign voluntarily across Gujarat on an annual basis. This has resulted in the plantation of 2.35 lakh saplings so far, according to a GCMMF official.

GCMMF's initiative was recognised both nationally and globally as the Federation has been decorated with the Srishti's G-Cube Award for 2010, with G3 denoting good, green governance. GCMMF has won it for the fourth consecutive year in the “Service Category”. Besides, this “Amul Green” movement has also won an award from the International Dairy Federation for the best environment initiative in the “sustainability category”.

A Word with DEEP IMPACT- "Zohnerism "

This Chemical compound DHMO has been implicated in the deaths of thousands of Indians every year. In gaseous form, it can cause severe burns. And, according to a new report, " the dangers of this chemical do not end here".
The chemical  is so caustic that it "accelerates the corrosion and rusting of many metals....is a major component of acid rain..has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients. "Symptoms of ingestion include "excessive sweating and urination", and for those who have developed a dependency on DHMO, complete withdrawal means certain death.".
Yet the presence of the chemical has been confirmed in every river, stream lake and reservoir in India.

Judging from these facts, do you think dihydrogen monoxide should be banned?

Seems like open-and-shut case until you realize that this compound is plain old water.

In 1997, Nathan Zohner, a 14-year-old junior high student at Eagle Rock Junior High School in Idaho, gathered 43 votes to ban the chemical, out of 50 people surveyed among his classmates. Zohner received the first prize at Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair for analysis of the results of his survey. In recognition of his experiment, journalist James K. Glassman coined the term "Zohnerism" to refer to "the use of a true fact to lead a scientifically and mathematically ignorant public to a false conclusion."
