Netaji died in aircrash, say declassified documents
Statesman News Service
NEW DELHI, Jan. 22: With the mystery surrounding the death of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose yet to be satisfactorily resolved, official documents declassified by the government say the revolutionary leader was a victim of an air crash on 18 August 1945.
Bose, whose birth centenary is tomorrow, was sitting next to the petrol tank of a K-21 heavy bomber aircraft when it lost control and crashed, according to documents made public by the Union home ministry following a Right to Information (RTI) application.
Contents of 91 documents have been put in the public domain while the home ministry has declined to do so in respect of over 100 documents.
The report of Counter Intelligence Corps, who questioned Bose’s close aide Habibur Rahman, said the plane carrying Netaji after its take-off from Taihoku (Taipei) in Formosa (Taiwan), could not gain much altitude, when he had heard a terrific explosion leaving the plane “vibrating violently.”
Rahman told the investigators that the plane, in which he was accompanying Bose, had lost control and had gone into flames after its take-off from Taihoku in the afternoon of 18 August 1945.
“...the seat Bose occupied in the aircraft was beside a petrol tank. At the time of the crash, the tank exploded, spreading the burning fuel on Bose’s clothing,” the Counter Intelligence Corps said in a report dated 29 September 1945.
The declassified report was revealed to a Delhi-based organisation ‘Mission Netaji’ which had invoked its Right to Information to get from the home ministry documents relating to Netaji’s mysterious death.
/////////////////////////////5 million more may be jobless in 2008: ILO
Statesman News Service
NEW DELHI, Jan. 22: Five million more persons may join the ranks of the unemployed worldwide in 2008 due to credit market turmoil and rising oil prices, the International Labour Office (ILO) said today in its annual Global Employment Trends (GET) report.
The 2008 projection is different from last year’s scenario when global markets were stable with the global GDP growth of more than five per cent. “This year’s global jobs picture is one of contrasts and uncertainty,” said the ILO director-general, Mr Juan Somavia, while releasing the GET report. Though more people are in work than ever before, this doesn’t mean that these jobs are decent jobs, he added.
The ILO report said although the economic turmoil of the developed countries led to loss in jobs, there was compensation in the rest of the world, especially in Asia, where economic and job growth remained strong. However, the report warned that an expected slowdown in growth during 2008 could increase the global unemployment rate to 6.1 per cent, with a resulting absolute increase of at least five million unemployed worldwide.
The report said the global economy growth of 5.2 per cent created an estimated 45 million new jobs in 2007, but failed to have any significant impact on the growth of unemployment. Overall, 61.7 per cent of the global population of working age ~ or an estimated 3 billion people ~ were employed in 2007. As the global unemployment rate remained virtually constant at 6 per cent, it meant an estimated 189.9 million people were unemployed worldwide in 2007, compared to 187 million in 2006.
ILO’s annual report said that South Asia was the leader in jobs growth during 2007, contributing 28 per cent of the nearly 45 million jobs created during the year worldwide. At the same time, the region has the highest share of “vulnerable employment” much of which reflects the poor quality of jobs created. More than seven out of 10 people are either “own-account workers or contributing family workers,” carrying a higher risk of being unprotected, without social security and without a voice at work.
Despite growth in the economy and jobs, the worldwide deficit in decent jobs, especially for the poor, is “massive”. The ILO said five out of 10 people in the world are in vulnerable employment, either contributing family workers or own-account workers with a higher risk of being unprotected. In developing countries these two categories are most likely to work informally and hence have jobs that leave them vulnerable to poverty and risks such as low earnings, dangerous working conditions and lack of health insurance.
The ILO said an estimated 487 million workers ~ or 16.4 per cent of all workers ~ still don’t earn enough to lift themselves and their families above the US $1 per person, per day poverty line while 1.3 billion workers ~ 43.5 per cent ~ still live below the US $2 per day threshold.
The report also underlined that the service sector continued to grow during 2007, further surpassing agriculture as the world’s most prevalent source of employment. The service sector now provides 42.7 per cent of the world’s jobs, compared to agriculture which provides 34.9 per cent.
The industrial sector, which had seen a slight downward trend between 1997 and 2003, has continued a rather slow upward trend in recent years, representing 22.4 per cent of global jobs.
///////////////////////////////////Importance of having Breakfast
Breakfast can help prevent strokes, heart attack and sudden death. Advice on not to skip breakfast! For those who always skip breakfast, should stop that habit now! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Because the frequency of heart attack, sudden death, and stroke peaks between 6:00 a.m. and noon, with the highest incidence being between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m.What mechanism within the body could account for this significant jump in sudden death in the early morning hours?
Platelet, tiny elements in the blood that keep us from bleeding to Death if we get a cut, can clump together inside our arteries due to cholesterol or laque buildup in the artery lining. It is in the morning hours that platelets become the most activated and tend to form these internal blood clots at the greatest frequency.
However, eating even a very light breakfast prevents the morning platelet activation that is associated with heart attacks and strokes. Studies performed at Memorial University in St.Johns, Newfoundland found that eating a light, very low-fat breakfast was critical in modifying the morning platelet activation. Subjects in the study consumed either low-fat or fat-free yogurt, orange juice, fruit, and a source of protein coming from yogurt or fat-free milk. So if you skip breakfast, it's important that you change this practice immediately in light of this research. Develop a simple plan to eat cereal, such as oatmeal or Bran Flakes, along with six ounces of grape juice or orange juice, and perhaps a piece of fruit. This simple plan will keep your platelets from sticking together, keep blood clots from forming, and perhaps head off a potential Heart Attack or stroke.
So never ever skip breakfast
