HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CHILD FROM INTERNET
Talk to your children about internet, both the positive and the potential dangers.
Be aware of the computer the child might be using, be it the family desktop, or the PC at school, or a laptop they might have access to.
Keep computers in an open area like a passageway or the living room. This way, the patent can keep an eye on what is happening and supervision is easily possible.
Know more about the internet. The parent should know not just the basics of the internet but much more. Visit child-friendly websites and bookmark them for the child to access easily.
Know the various chat rooms and chat programs available on the net.
Activate all the “Safe Search” options in Google, Yahoo! etc. to prevent the child from being exposed to objectionable content.
Install parent control software. Many operating systems (such as Windows 7) and personal antivirus applications (like Kasper-sky) have parent control modules. However, also consider specific parental control software like Netnanny or Kidswatch because these are more intuitive.
Instruct the child to never give out any information on the internet irrespective of the simplicity of the information, such as city or locality. If someone asks for information, ask the child to inform the parent or a trusted adult.
Never respond to an unsubscribe option on a spam email. If you or your child receives a message that is harassing, of a sexual nature, or threatening, forward a copy of the message to your ISP, and ask for assistance.
Internet account should be in the parent’s name with parents having the primary screen name, controlling passwords and using blocking and/or filtering devices.
Children should not complete a profile for a service provider and children’s screen names should not identify the profile as that of a child.
Talk to parents of your child’s friends in order to gain better understanding of what the children might be doing in net.
Teach children not to open mail from someone they don’t know.
Talk the children about what to do if they see something that makes them feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused. Remind children to tell a trusted adult if they see something that bothers them online.
Never allow your children to meet someone from an online session without parent approval.
It is important to let one’s children explore and learn from the internet but equally, one needs to keep one’s loved ones safe…………..

BLACK MONEY
Black money is concealed income which has evaded taxation. According to Wanchoo Committee it denotes not only unaccounted currency which is either hoarded or in circulation out side disclosed trading channels, but also its investment in gold, jewellery,
and even precious stones made secretly, and land and buildings and business assets over and above the amount shown in the books. It is a threat to national economy as it finaces smuggling and other illegal business activities.
Magnitude: According to the majority report of the committee it amounted to Rs. 1400 corers in 1968-69. but according to Dr. Rangnekar, a dissenting member, it came to Rs.2833 corers it is growing at the rate of 12% per annum as against 11% of the legitimate national income in terms of money value.
Loss of Rs.1000 corers every year by way of tax revenues.
Total value of transactions financed by black money reaches the staggering figure of 1400 corers according to Dr. Rangnekar, i.e. about half the total volume of transactions in the nonagricultural sector.
How created: Concealment of income by big business, professional people like doctors, contractors and other self-employed persons. Also by entrepreneurs wishing to buy an import licence in black market or to plough back more money into their enterprises without paying taxes.
How it runs parallel economy: Used for buying smuggled or scare materials in black market, for buying import licences, for bribing the various government officials connected with factories, constructing luxury apartments and thus playing havoc with the national economy. It circulates inside the parallel economy in a closed circle. The possessor of black money may sell an import licence at a premium and loan out the amount at high rate of interest to finance smuggling or purchased lf scarce materials in black market. The recipient likewise has to dispose of his black money in another clandestine transaction. And so it goes on.
How spent: used to buy gold, jewellery, real estate spent on luxury living and above all, in financing the parallel economy.
Ways to bring it into the legitimate market and check further growth: As recommended by Wanchoo Committee rate of taxation should be lowered particularly on the highest slabs of income, number of economic controls should be reduced.
Step taken by the Government: The Government is empowered to acquire at recorded price any property suspected of having been grossly undervalued to escape wealth tax, capital gains etc. Indian Registration Act being modified to ensure compulsory registration of any deal pertaining to flats in a building owned by a cooperative housing society.
The owner of a property in ‘benami’ name will not be able to enforce his claim in a court of law unless the income from the property has been declared tax authorities.
More steps needed: Savings and investments upto a certain limit be exempted from taxation. The loss in revenue will be more than made up by increase in savings.
Current be demonetized so that the parallel economy is disrupted. In the meantime other measures to check the growth of black money be taken.
Black money has created a vicious circle in which every increase in taxation is followed by further tax evasion and this again compels the Government to go in for higher tax rate. This circle has to be broken. Black money is a cancerous growth; says Wancloo Committee, which if not checked will surely lead to the economy’s ruination; we must act while there is time………………………..

designed with
long term in term interests in view. Modern sciences and technology should get due emphasis. Careful planning needed so that there is no glut of educated unemployed over whom the Government has spent vast sums.
►Education must largely be given a vocational bias so that it can keep pace with the demand of the developing economy.
►Student teacher ratio should be such as to ensure closer relationship between the teacher and the taught. Semester system should be introduced wherever possible. Greater accent or class work needed to ensure round the year studies.

SUCCESS AT ARMS DISTANCE
Why we people want success?
The only and big cause is to be happy and to have comfortable life and secondly to enhance confident level . That's why we people want cusses.
Some people make an unusual meaning of this statement SUCCESS AT ARMS DISTANCE that you should mentai0n a distance between you and success. But the truth is that sucess is always at the next Dore . We should make a path to achive it successfully and comfortably.
At first we should sure our selves that .......... what I like to be. Because 99.9% of people don't know what they like to be. I like to give an example, there was a boy who prep. for B.tech one day he heard some one song and suddenly decided to be a singer. I like to say this type of people never be a successful man in life.
To achive this we have to work hard, but in a proper direction. For eg. one day my friend com to me and said, "I am preparing so hard to be a singer". Then I ask HOW? He said that he did sirsasan everyday. But this is not the right way to be a singer in life.
And the last but not the least that to keep presence.The is a good story on this........ One day some monkey decided to have a mango three of their own. And that was a good idea because they eat mango when the want, then they do so but after implanting the tree they make a circle around this and waiting for the mango. After one and half hour nothing will happen there is no mango in the tree suddenly one monkey came and threw it away.
SO IF WE WORK PROPERLY THEN WE MUST ACHIVE THE SUCESS. BECAUSE THIS IS AT ARMS DISTANCE.
