Paper-II, was the newly introduced paper had 80 questions from General Mental Ability, Comprehension, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Basic Numeracy, Decision-making and Problem-solving, Logical Reasoning and Analytical Ability.

The students finds themselves in tricky position as the negative marks has eroded their marks to significant level.

The choices of General Study paper were quite close that increased the doubt in the minds of the participating and led to error while handling the question.

Similar situation was in the Aptitude paper where students find themselves quite comfortable after the examination but post examination matching of answer slides them down.

July 4 the Day Dedicated to American Celeberation


Most people in the US celebrate the 4th of July, but there are some people who don't know exact reason why the holiday is so important to the US people.It is strange but true significant proportion of population of US exactly don't know the reality that is how the colonists fall in the years leading up to 1776.

The Great Britain keept trying to make the colonists follow more regulation for exploitation and the people started making plans to be able to make their own rules for themselves. 

They no longer wanted Great Britain to dictate their term and decide the faith of Americans so they finally decided to tell Great Britain that they were becoming an independent country.

The Congress met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and they appointed a committee to prepare a formal statement that would tell Great Britain that the Americans had decided to govern in their own way.

 The committee asked to Thomas Jefferson to prepare a draft of the document, so he worked for days, in absolute confidentiality, until he had completed a document that he thought said everything important that the committee had discussed in in detail.

On June 28, 1776, the committee met to read Jefferson's "fair" copy they made some changes in the document and declared their independence on July 2, 1776.

They officially adopted it on July 4, 1776. That is why American call it "Independence Day." Congress ordered that all members must sign the Declaration of Independence and they all began signing the "official" copy on August 2, 1776. In January 1977, Congress sent signed copy of the draft to all of the states.


The Declaration of Independence is a symbol of independence and commitment to certain ideas.

Most of the American can look at a certain little "swoosh" and know that it stands for "Nike." Well, the signatories of the Declaration of Independence wanted the citizens of the United States to have a document that pronounced out what was important to their leaders and citizens.

Chinese Factory Output Reading Fell to Record Low


Bejing, July, 2: World second largest economy is losing their steam as Chinese factory output reading in June at its record low in 28 months, Chinese economy is facing the pinch of monetary tightening and reduced global demand amid weakness in developed world.

The official purchasing managers' index (PMI), which is structured to give a snapshot of conditions in China's vast manufacturing base, fell to 50.9 in June from 52 in May, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing said.     
    
The number was weaker than market expectations of 51.3, based on a Reuters poll. But it was the 28th straight month that the official PMI has stood above the 50 that is critical indicator that demarcates expansion from contraction. The recent data indicating that the future economic growth rate may continue to fall.

However the de-stocking has played important role in the recent slide in the PMI, the de-stocking will be short-lived and the slide led by de-stocking will not going to sustained in near future but other component like inflation and global demand can play their rile in decline.

Global situation are not good at all as the world number one U.S. economic recovery loses momentum and Europe struggles with a sovereign debt crisis .Being a export economy this is not a good news for the China.

The sub-index of new export orders fell to 50.5 in June from 51.1 in May, reflecting persistent weakness in global demand.
  
Despite such issues most of the economists in China believe that Chinese economy, underpinned by the relentless urbanization, is in no danger of a hard landing.

The People's Bank of China is desperate to put a lid on price rises, so they lifted the reserve requirement ratio for banks nine times and raised interest rates four times since October 2010. 

To control the situation the Chinese government is expected to forge ahead with further tightening measures to combat the price rise that is running near three-year top, but most economist feels the current regulator tightening will end by December 2011. 

Earlier this week, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao indicated for the first time that country would struggle to meet its 4 percent inflation target in 2011, underlining expectations that interest rates will rise further.
