As per our results we see that there are some feature that Micromax has planned looking at the future like the 5MP front camera which is still better than the 4MP front camera that we are expecting in theSamsung Galaxy S6. Since the Micromax Canvas 4 has been appropriately priced we think it may stand the other 2 generations of the phone.

PEECS

PEECS

PEECS: Entrance Coaching Scheme of Govt 
The Public Entrance Examination Coaching Scheme (PEECS) of the Government of Kerala will take off in June 2013. The Programme was announced in the Budget for 2013-14 by the Finance Minister. The innovative project of the Higher Education department, aimed at giving free coaching to Higher Secondary students of the state, both in the Government and Aided sector, for taking up the Entrance Examinations in Engineering and Medicine will commence in June, 2013.
In the first stage, the programme will be implemented for the second year students of Plus two. By July, after the admissions are completed for 2013-14, the scheme will be extended to the first year students also of Plus Two stream in Government/Aided Higher Secondary schools in the state. The scheme will have two components mainly.

One component of PEECS will be the telecasting of classes, each of one hour duration, based on the topics in the syllabi for the Entrance Examinations of Kerala.
Coaching will be imparted for Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology (Botany and Zoology). The one hour session will have a ‘subject’ discussion part and ‘question & answer’ discussion part. The number of classes for each subject for covering the entire syllabus is likely to be around 60. The classes will be telecast through the VICTERS channel of IT@ School. The telecast will be so scheduled during the school time so that the students get the facility to view the programme along with the teacher engaging the subject in the school. The classes that are telecast during the school time will be telecast again in the evening/night.
The second component of the scheme is the online practice test. After the telecast of a class on a topic is completed, the students will get the facility to attend online practice tests on that topic as per the Entrance pattern. This facility will be provided through the PEECS website to be hosted with the technical support of IT@School.
This test can be taken by the student from the school or from home or at any place having a computer with internet facility. After the test is completed, the student will get to know the score, the answers to the questions with explanatory notes. As the scheme progresses, more question sets will be added to the Question Bank being developed side by side so that the students will get the facility to take more practice tests. The students will have to register at the website to get all these facilities. This will be done through the institutions they are enrolled.
The student will also get the facility to post a question to an expert in the subject and get answer to that. The progress of the students will also be monitored under the scheme. By the time the entire course is covered, the student will have the facility to answer a full question paper online as per the entrance pattern. A Question bank is also being planned as a component of the scheme. The entire facilities related to the scheme will be provided free of cost to the students.
Faculty from Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges and retired faculty from Colleges have been identified for engaging the classes under PEECS. Although the scheme is being implemented for the KEAM Entrance Examinations now, it is expected to be extended to more areas in the coming years.

Water Level-Idukki


Water level in Idukki dam touches 2401.3 ft, likely to be opened



Cheruthoni: The water level in the Idukki reservoir rose steadily on Saturday and touched an all time high of 2401.3ft, which is 98 % of the dam's total capacity. The full reservoir level (FRL) is 2,403 ft. On Saturday, the increase in level was 1 ft. If the water level increases by 1 more feet, the dam would be opened. The increased level of water drawn by Tamil Nadu from the Mullaperiyar dam was a key factor in keeping the level in Idukki dam almost static till it rained heavily in the catchment areas in the past days.


There were efforts to avoid opening of the dam as power generation at the Moolamattom powerhouse was also raised to the maximum level to keep the water level under control and by storing more water in other small dams. However, with the increased production level, there was high inflow of water causing a sudden spurt in the reservoir level. Dams safety authority chief engineer K K Karuppan will examine dam on Saturday and only after that a decision would be taken. 


Idukki is an arch dam and has no shutters so extra water would be flown out through shutters of Cheruthoni dam, which has five shutters. If a shutter is being opened in 2 feet high, it will carry 1200 cubic feet water and that will reach Arabian sea passing though Cheruthoni, Lower Periyar and Aluva. The dam which was presented to the state in 1976, was opened only twice in the past, in 1981 and 1992. The district administration has made preparations to open the dam shutters in case the water level rises above the FRL.

“അപരാഹ്നത്തിന്റെ അനന്തപദങ്ങളിൽ അവൻ നടന്നകന്നു, ഭീമനും യുധിഷ്ഠിരനും ബീഡ് വലിച്ചു .സീതയുടെ മാറ് പിളർന്ന് ചോര കുടിച്ചു ദുര്യോധനൻ, ഗുരുവായൂരപ്പന് ജലദോഷമായിരുന്നു അന്ന്. അമ്പലത്തിന്റെ അകാൽ വിളക്കുകൾ തെളിയുന്ന സന്ധ്യയിൽ അവൾ അവനോട് ചോദിച്ചു, “ഇനിയും നീ ഇതുവഴി വരില്ലേ, 

അമ്പിളിചേട്ടന്‍....!!! മലയാളത്തിന്റെ മാനത്തെ ഒരേ ഒരു അമ്പിളി....!!
