water bear facts
the Indian economy is projected to become the second largest in the world, after China, before the USA?

Is this wishthinking or pure fairyland?

Does economic growth incorporate social issues and consider ecological facts ?

While the Indian Rich waste water in their swimmingpools children in many villages have still to go to the far well, bearing home the heavy load on their head

The cities waste electricity for stupid ads, while many villages still have no electricity at all

Indian economic growth is one of the fastest in the world. Look around you. Cities, high-tech plazas, Markets, Films, Softwares, Scientific research, Chandrayaan, 6th nuclear power in the world, Indo Us nuclear Deal……..Can you believe that these much accomplishments came from a country who was going to sell its gold reserve to the World bank in order to pay its dept before 20 years?? India has a huge young diaspora who can speak English fluently. It is said that India has the second largest English speaking people in the world. This combined with the fact that we have enough natural resources to plunder, huge diaspora in many countries and young population accredits to our possibility of overtaking the US, which has a very few population when compared to India. The problem which we are currently facing, is the unequal economic distribution. That is, Rich get richer, poor get poorer, so even though we would likely have a high concentration of high quality infrastructure in one place, other place would possibly remain like the one you have mentioned in your question. As one friend mentioned, North Indian states economic growth is far below than that of the southern states. Similarly, the caste system of Hindus is posing a major threat to our development. Unless we relinquish these, we are not going to face a complete economic growth, ever. REFER: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_India

Bear Facts Vol 2-6 Cloudy Waters

Winters over and you’ve opened your pool. You added all the chemicals and the water is still not sparkling blue. Cloudy water can be frustrating when all you wanted was to look out and see sparkling water. I will give you a few tips to clear up your cloudy water.

Instructions

Step 1

The first thing to realize is that cloudy water can happen to any pool even a well maintained pool. Cloudy pool water can be caused by an improper chemical balance, a dirty filter, environmental issues like excessive rain or pollen, low chlorine, dead or alive algae in the water, and not running the pump enough to name a few. In order to clear up the cloudy water you will need to figure out what the cause could be.

Step 2

Test the water to make sure all the chemicals are in the correct range. The wrong chemical balance can cause water to be cloudy, high PH, high Alkalinity and too much calcium in the water can lead to the appearance of cloudy water. The high PH level can prevent the chlorine from killing algae and bacteria in the pool, and your water will look cloudy.

Step 3

Make sure the pool is clean on all surfaces. Use the pool brush to brush the bottom and sides of the pool and then vacuum. If the chemicals are balanced but the pool bottom or sides are dirty this can contribute to the cloudy water.

Step 4 Check your filtration system.

DE

DE filters should be backing up often requiring bumping and backwashing. This is frustrating but is the fastest way to clean up cloudy water.

Cartridge

Cartridge filters should be left alone. Most cartridge filters are so large the pressure never rises. You don’t want to clean a cartridge until you have to. In a way they are like sand the dirtier they are the more debris they collect. I some cases a small amount of DE can be added to help remove the cloud. The DE should be removed once the pool is clear.

Sand

Make sure that the sand is still good. If the sand is a couple of years old you may want to replace it with new pool sand. Once the sand is replace run the filter for a few days to see if it clears the water. This was the culprit last year when we were opening our pool and had cloudy water.

Step 5

Run the pump and filter for 24 hours straight for a few days to help filter out the particles in the water. I can’t stress this enough, run your filter. The more you run the filter the faster the cloud will disappear.

Clarifier can be added to the water to bind to the micro particles to help them filter out. As a last resort a flocculant can be added to the pool to help bind to the particles to make them bigger so they can be vacuumed out (In sand filters only and not recommended).

As an atheist can I wear a non-religious symbol to places where religious symbols aren’t allowed?

The non-religious symbol in question is a plus sign ‘+’ with an extended lower bar which bears a resemblance to what some call a ‘cross’ although since the ‘cross’ is a discrete symbol and the extended plus sign is a very different symbol, are in fact not even remotely the same thing. To me it represents ‘odd man out’.

I just wanted to muddy the waters a bit. Answer as it pleases you. Trolls are welcome.

sure.
just like darwin in a fish bumper sticker.
