How they pay out the interest for the F.D
- If you close your FD before maturity; you get the interest applicable for the period the FD was in force. Usually the interest rates for FD < 1 yr is ~ 6% and for >= ` yr it is 8.5-9 %
- If FD is held till maturity, one gets full compounded interest on the principal. If one breaks FD before maturity, then the interest earned will be lessened by 1% (varies from bank to bank).Say if one books an FD with 9% interest for 3 yrs. At the end of three yrs, he will get compounded interest @ 9% per annum on his principal. Say if he breaks the FD after 2 yr 11 months, then he will get compounded interest @ 9 – 1 = 8% per annum for the tenure of 2 yrs 11 months. The penalty % to be deducted varies from bank to bank, but may not cross 1% for most of the banks.Once an FD is created, one can't withdraw the interest or principal before maturity without breaking the FD. So if FD is booked for 5 yrs, then principal and compounded interest will be available only after 5 yrs – unless you want to break the FD in between.
WHY YOUTUBE IS IMPORTANT
YouTube is home to some of the largest libraries of video content on Earth. A single video on YouTube can be seen by tens of millions of people in the span of a week. Once a video or a channel gets subscribers, it’s only a matter of time before the viewership, and the potential to generate positive marketing buzz, goes up. Some people have turned their YouTube channel into their full time job, and earn a living that well exceeds what you’d expect to make. The secret to YouTube’s success relies in its ability to stand out of the way when users want to generate and display content. YouTube puts the power of video creation and marketing in your hands; while you handle the creation, you can let GetSocialJuice take care of the marketin
- YouTube gets 1 billion unique visitors every month from 53 different countries around the world.
- YouTube registered 1 trillion views in 2011.
- 25% of YouTube traffic comes from mobile devices.
- YouTube applications come standard with many Android and Blackberry devices worldwide.
WHO VIEWS YOUTUBE?
YouTube is a unique content provider for many reasons. While the primary demographic of users will be within the age 18-30 range, you will find that there are audiences that span across many different cultures, age groups, religious backgrounds, careers, and other categories. YouTube is one of the most popular destinations on the Internet, so much so that Google purchased it for $1.65 billion USD in 2006. Their plan was to hone what makes YouTube great, and to continue to allow more avenues for content creation. So far, they have been successful, as well over a billion users visit YouTube every day to find new videos to comment on, like, and share with friends.
The same demographics that use YouTube are also often connected with Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ too. Do you have a social networking account that you need to promote? You can cross promote new videos with your social networking profile, and get more YouTube likes than ever before. This collaborative marketing strategy works well with GetSocialJuice, because we can work with you to both increase your social media subscribers and get more YouTube subscribers as well. We can help to turn your whole marketing presence into a well oiled machine that will catapult your brand to the top.
WHY FACEBOOK IS IMPORTANT
Facebook has almost 160 million users registered in the United States, who are Liking, Sharing, and Commenting on links every day. The market penetration of Facebook has been incredible; in the first quarter of 2012, it was estimated that 12.1% of the world uses the site across every continent. Those numbers are staggering, but not nearly as staggering as what Facebook can do for your business. Companies who actively engage consumers on Facebook can generate a huge increase in leads. 62% of marketers have said that social media sites like Facebook are not only important, but increasingly critical within the past six months. If you are a business, an artist, a politician, or just someone who relies on social media for your career, you need Facebook fans to compete
- 77% of B2C companies, large and small, have generated leads thanks to Facebook.
- 77% of buyers are more likely to do business with a company whose CEO uses social media like Facebook.
- Inbound leads, such as what social media marketing generates, cost as much as 61% less than outbound alternatives.
Social media is the reigning king when it comes to the new age of marketing, and Facebook is a kingdom unto itself. With GetSocialJuice as your guide, you can generate more likes for Facebook that you can convert into real sales. Staying competitive these days means having a strong social presence on sites like Facebook, because consumers respond to businesses that engage them on their own terms. Facebook and other sites allow consumers to freely share links and interests with all of the people that they’re friends with, which creates an avalanche of attention and marketing response that you can’t find anywhere else

LIC or PPF or MF
investments in LIC is
a misnomer.
LIC should not be an avenue for any investments.
it is an insurance company.
for investing in MF, a demat account is not absolutely necessary.
so, from the options listed below, you are left with PPF and MF.
PPF: has a lock-in period of 15 years. it is best to open a PPF account now and start depositing small amounts every year, and increase your deposit amount as you move closer to the 15-year endpoint.
the returns are completely tax-free.
MF: other than ELSS(lock-in period of 3 years), every other equity Mutual funds can be redeemed anytime.
returns are linked to market conditions.
choose a MF product which has a reasonably good longterm track record and invest systematically (SIP)
Keep insurance and investment separate!! Buying a term insurance allows you to do this ,Insurance is an EXPENSE, not an INVESTMENT! You DON'T WANT to get any returns out of insurance
Beyond that, LIC is a reasonable option for insurance (term insurance only!) due to their somewhat more liberal payout policies. (Watch the movie "The Incredibles" to understand what I mean!) But private insurance companies are cheaper, and due to strong regulatory practices, there isn't much of a risk of a private insurer going bankrupt.
The problem with ULIP is that you are forced to invest money year-after-year in the same bucket of funds no matter how they perform and the insurance cover is often poor for the money you pay. And you don't have the choice of NOT investing in a particular year if you have some other big-ticket expenses to take care of. Getting out is difficult too. Having said that, there's some evidence that you could come out a winner if you stay invested over a long term, but that'll need expertise and strong will that most of us don't have. And then, you can do as well - or better - in a simple stock index fund without the accompanying worries and risks! And you can invest as much or as little and in whatever fund you choose. You can take out money too if you think the market's gonna crash! So no ULIP!!! ULIP's are good only for the insurance company and the agent. The agent makes a fat commission in the first few years on a ULIP policy. He makes very little on a term policy. So you know where his/her interests lie

Gold ETF or Gold FoF
Gold mutual funds are nothing but Gold Fund of Funds(FoF) or Gold Savings Funds which invests in Gold ETF. Gold FoFs will have an additional 0.5 to 1.25% expenses per annum on top of Gold ETF. The return of Gold mutual funds are also directly proportionate to the gold price in the market but with an extra expense of Gold ETF & Gold FoF expenses per annum i.e. max 2.25% per annum. If you still compare this with owning of gold coins or ornaments the return is safer and transparent in terms of value of Gold
If you are looking for buying gold without the overhead of making changes and wastages (associated with ornaments), Gold ETF is the right option.
Gold mutual fund would also invest in companies that are involved in the extraction of gold from the mines etc. The returns of Gold mutual funds have been bad in recent times
Gold FOF mutual funds invests money in Gold ETF(usually belonging to its own fund house). But Gold ETF buys the gold in the commodity market & it has its own custodian for physical gold.
Gold ETFs can be bought only if you have demat account as they are listed in stock market. For opening Gold FoF you need not have to have any demat account, you can buy directly from any mutual fund houses or through any mf agents.
Gold ETF expense ratio would be less than 1.5%. Even Gold FoF has its own expense ratio below 1% but this will add on top of Gold ETF expense ratio.
In summary if you have demat account buy Gold ETF in open market or else buy Gold FoF through MF houses. You can buy either Quantum Gold ETF or Quantum Gold Savings fund based on your requiremen

-- Interest earned is tax free (No TDS).
Recurring Deposit:
-- 8.5% (vary bank to bank, but interest rate is closer to FD)
-- Ideal for small amount periodically
-- Interest is not tax free. Even though bank will not deduct TDS

Insurance/Pension plans
-- These are not investement plans in the first place. These plans should only be used to buy protection.
Buy pure term insurance plans as insurance. Buy insurance for the earning member of the family only.
Non-earning members are the nominees or beneficiaies.
With reference to investment, if the intention is to avoid tax, please use PPF/VPF (Voluntary
provident fund). VPF is even better than PPF in terms of return (0.5% extra) with no tax on interest.
Once tax related investments are done, think of following as long term investment options
1. Buy equity/Mutual Fund. Return on this is tax free after one year. One can invest in SIP (fixed amount
monthly) for pension corpus. In long term, equity return is better than FD return and also tax effective
2. Try investing in Bonds/NCDs (Non convertible debenture) which are traded in stock market. Once RBI starts
reducing interest rate the value of Bonds/yield will go up.
3. Real estate. Minimum holding must be 3 years to avoid tax in case one makes profit by selling off.
4. Also, one can look at stocks directly. Dividends received from shares are completely tax free apart from
long term capital gains. Many good stocks are available at resonable prices today with 5-6% dividend payout.

Education Loan FAQ
The EMI starts after 6 months of course completion or when you get job (Whichever is earlier).
During the study period the interest charged is simple interest. But after the completion of course, it becomes compound.
Say you took loan or 2 Lakh and you drew 1 lakh for the admission and the other 1 lakh for 2nd year fee. Rate of interest assume is 10%.
During 1st year interest :- 10,000 (10% of 1L)
During 2nd year interest :- 20,000 (10% of 2L)
But, after completion of course the interest charged becomes compound (i.e interest will be charged on 2.3L).
Also, there is an option of paying the interest during the study period only (in the above case repay 30k before study completion i.e 1250 per month repayment) .The bank gives 1% rebate on the interest rate if anyone opts for this.

Feedback on term plans
Definition of unfair business practices from the article in economic times:
"The complaints against insurance companies for selling policies by making false lucrative offers at the point of sale are put under the category of the unfair business practices"
The case of false lucrative offers may apply more to money-back policies than term policies. As in term policies, they won't be any money returns or surrender value.
When going for term plans, it is better to check the claim-settlement ratio of the insurance companies. The below link gives the no.s for money-back + term policy settlements combined together.
http://www.bachatkhata.com/2012/02/claim-settlement-ratio-for-life-insurance-companies-for-2010-11.html
One more aspect to consider is the rider benefits we get for each term policy. There is a general advice not to club health riders (Accidental death, critical illness, Disability) with term insurance. Instead, better to go for a Health insurance policy separately that will address these needs.
Reg splitting insurance money – Right now whatever amount we get insured for, we will have to reassess this amount in future – when our responsibilities, liabilities increase + the inflation factor. Personally I think, better to for one insurance policy now keeping in mind our current liabilities. And in future (next 5-10 yrs or more) when we feel there is substantial change in our requirements, we can take one more policy from a different vendor

How to choose a good helmet ?
Using open-face helmet is not suggested. You should choose a helmet such that it covers your brilliant brain and your Closeup tooth. So, make sure it has a jaw cover as well. Very Very important
LS2 helmets are excellent
LS2 are good helmets indeed, and their price fits the bracket too. If you are a bit inclined towards the designs and all , you may want to look at SOL . Apart from that AVG helmets are really good too. There is just one problem with LS2 though, on high speeds you will feel a push sideways, whereas that’s not there with AVG ( and SOL , not sure abt SOL) . Considering you’r a RE rider , you would be cruising and not speed riding , so LS2 / SOL would do the job perfectly

Best Places to Visit in June (one week trip) Bangalore
Here are the few places that can be visited in the Bangalore in the month of june 2013
Option 1
If you love rain + forest you can try the following,
During rainy season water fall is a treat to watch
Please do your planning in terms of safety, stay, route if you are planning to visit.
Option 2
If you want to travel and not stay in one place then here’s the route with days to stay:
Start –Bangalore to Hubli/Dharwad –to Karwar (either Karwar/Gokarna stay for 1 or 2 days places to visit is Yana, Gokarna beaches, and few nearby places of your interests) – Murudeshwara (beaches and Shiva temple—either stay or travel to Udupi)— Udupi (Krishna temple, near is Malpe beach and also a good visit will be to St Mary’s Islands) – Mangalore (Ullal beach – but be careful here as the sea is very dangerous best will be not to venture at this beach itself) –Coorg (last leg of the trip can stay here for 2 days max if you want to see rain gods at its closest—but in hills don’t venture without local guide and also at this time of the year there‘ll high density of leeches, so be bit careful)—back to Bangalore.
After planning this, if you have time left for 2 to 3 days, then, you can add Goa which will start after Hubli and after Goa to Gokarna.
Option 1
If you love rain + forest you can try the following,
- Chickmagalur – Covers Mullayangiri [safe as per my knowledge], Baba budangiri, Kemmangundi.
- Dandeli – Tiger reserve with white water rafting and thick forest.
- Agumbe – Sunset point [Ghat section].
During rainy season water fall is a treat to watch
- Amboli waterfalls [nice place there are lot of lodges/hotels/resorts around. Falls is on main road so looks safe] – Border place of Maharashtra – Karnataka.
- dudhsagar waterfalls [you have to treak to reach the falls so family is not advisable]
- Jog falls
- Sathodi falls and magod falls
- Gokak falls
Please do your planning in terms of safety, stay, route if you are planning to visit.
Option 2
If you want to travel and not stay in one place then here’s the route with days to stay:
Start –Bangalore to Hubli/Dharwad –to Karwar (either Karwar/Gokarna stay for 1 or 2 days places to visit is Yana, Gokarna beaches, and few nearby places of your interests) – Murudeshwara (beaches and Shiva temple—either stay or travel to Udupi)— Udupi (Krishna temple, near is Malpe beach and also a good visit will be to St Mary’s Islands) – Mangalore (Ullal beach – but be careful here as the sea is very dangerous best will be not to venture at this beach itself) –Coorg (last leg of the trip can stay here for 2 days max if you want to see rain gods at its closest—but in hills don’t venture without local guide and also at this time of the year there‘ll high density of leeches, so be bit careful)—back to Bangalore.

At the Interview | Top Ten Mistakes Candidates Make
#1 | Practicing on a Computer
If you were training for a serious bike race in the mountains, would you practice only by biking on the streets? I hope not. The air is different. The terrain is different. Yeah, I bet you’d practice in the mountains.
Using a compiler to practice interview questions is like this - and you’ve basically been biking on the streets your entire life. Put away the compiler and get out the old pen and paper. Use a compiler only to verify your solutions.
#2 | Not Rehearsing Behavioral Questions
Many candidates spend all their time prepping for technical questions and overlook the behavioral questions. Guess what? Your interviewer is judging those too! And, not only that - your performance on behavioral questions might bias your interviewer’s perception of your technical performance. Behavioral prep is relatively easy and well-worth your time. Looking over your projects and positions and think of the key stories. Rehearse the stories. See pg 29 for more details.
#3 | Not Doing a Mock Interview
Imagine you’re preparing for a big speech. Your whole school, or company, or whatever will be there. Your future depends on this. And all you do to prepare is read the speech to yourself. Silently. In your head. Crazy, right?
Not doing a mock interview to prepare for your real interview is just like this. If you’re an engineer, you must know other engineers. Grab a buddy and ask him/her to do a mock interview for you. You can even return the favor!
#4 | Trying to Memorize Solutions
Quality beats quantity. Try to struggle through and solve questions yourself; don’t flip directly to the solutions when you get stuck. Memorizing how to solve specific problem isn’t going to help you much in an interview. Real preparation is about learning how to approach new problems.
#5 | Talking Too Much
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked candidates a simple question like “what was the hardest bug on Project Pod?”, only to have them ramble on and on about things I don’t understand. Five minutes later, when they finally come up for air, I’ve learned nothing - except that they’re a poor communicator. When asked a question, break your answer into three parts (Situation / Action / Response, Issue 1 / Issue 2 / Issue 3, etc) and speak for just a couple sentences about each. If I want more details, I’ll ask!

Questions, questions, questions
Many aspiring negotiators make the mistake of doing all the talking. We need to ASK, ASK, ASK, until it becomes second nature to ask questions, and listen for the answer. It is written somewhere, ‘Be quick to listen and slow to speak.’ One of my earliest mentors used to say to me, ‘Oliver, you have two ears and one mouth; you need to learn to use them in that proportion.’
Let’s face it, the less you say, the more relevant you are likely to be. Let me ask you a few questions myself. If you are talking, who are you normally talking about? Of course the answer is ‘yourself’. That produces a defensive or bored response in the counterpart. Worse still, you will inevitably be giving away information that they can use to their advantage.
What sort of questions?
If questioning is so vital, what kind of questions should we be asking? We should be asking open-ended questions. Closed questions are questions to which the only answer is ‘Yes’ or ‘No’. They produce no additional information, they close down the conversation, they close down the proper negotiation process too early. Typical closed questions are prefaced with ‘Do you…?’, ‘Could you…?’, ‘Will you…?’
Open-ended questions cannot be answered ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; they always produce a response and always yield information. In training circles they are loosely referred to as W questions. They include What?, Which?, When?, Where?, Why?, Who?, and the odd one out: How? They always generate information and they are key to retaining control at every stage of the negotiation process.
A builder had negotiated a deal with a Baptist church for renovation work valued at £120,000. The deal appeared to be agreed, but the architect simply would not give the builder the start date. The builder was stalled for some weeks and could not get a clear picture from the architect. In a move to get things under way, the MD of the building company approached the church direct and began asking W questions to attempt to discover the nature of the problem. It transpired that the church wanted to carry on meeting in the building while the renovations were going on. They had been told that it would not be possible. The builder simply offered to find alternative accommodation while the work was in hand – offering to pay for it himself. The cost of that was a few hundred pounds but would have the effect of releasing £120,000 of work.
Subsequently, with the goodwill his gesture generated, he was able to work out a method of working that enabled the church to carry on meeting – with some temporary facilities – within their existing premises. The job got under way.

Creating a memory leak with Java
Here's a good way to create a true memory leak (objects inaccessible by running code but still stored in memory) in pure Java:
- The application creates a long-running thread (or use a thread pool to leak even faster).
- The thread loads a class via an (optionally custom) ClassLoader.
- The class allocates a large chunk of memory (e.g.
new byte[1000000]), stores a strong reference to it in a static field, and then stores a reference to itself in a ThreadLocal. Allocating the extra memory is optional (leaking the Class instance is enough), but it will make the leak work that much faster. - The thread clears all references to the custom class or the ClassLoader it was loaded from.
- Repeat.
This works because the ThreadLocal keeps a reference to the object, which keeps a reference to its Class, which in turn keeps a reference to its ClassLoader. The ClassLoader, in turn, keeps a reference to all the Classes it has loaded. It gets worse because in many JVM implementations Classes and ClassLoaders are allocated straight into permgen and are never GC'd at all.
A variation on this pattern is why application containers (like Tomcat) can leak memory like sieve if you frequently redeploy applications that happen to use ThreadLocals in any way. (Since the application container uses Threads as described, and each time you redeploy the application a new ClassLoader is used.)
JVM Architecture
When a Java virtual machine runs a program, it needs memory to store many things, including bytecodes and other information it extracts from loaded class files, objects the program instantiates, parameters to methods, return values, local variables, and intermediate results of computations. The Java virtual machine organizes the memory it needs to execute a program into several runtime data areas.
The method area is created on virtual machine start-up. Although the method area is logically part of the heap, simple implementations may choose not to either garbage collect or compact it. This version of the Java Virtual Machine specification does not mandate the location of the method area or the policies used to manage compiled code. The method area may be of a fixed size or may be expanded as required by the computation and may be contracted if a larger method area becomes unnecessary. The memory for the method area does not need to be contiguous.
A Java Virtual Machine implementation may provide the programmer or the user control over the initial size of the method area, as well as, in the case of a varying-size method area, control over the maximum and minimum method area size.
The following exceptional condition is associated with the method area:
If memory in the method area cannot be made available to satisfy an allocation request, the Java Virtual Machine throws an OutOfMemoryError.

- The JVM Basic Tutorials, the Heap Area Video
The Java Virtual Machine has a heap that is shared among all Java Virtual Machine threads. The heap is the run-time data area from which memory for all class instances and arrays is allocated.
The heap is created on virtual machine start-up. Heap storage for objects is reclaimed by an automatic storage management system (known as a garbage collector); objects are never explicitly deallocated. The Java Virtual Machine assumes no particular type of automatic storage management system, and the storage management technique may be chosen according to the implementor's system requirements. The heap may be of a fixed size or may be expanded as required by the computation and may be contracted if a larger heap becomes unnecessary. The memory for the heap does not need to be contiguous.
A Java Virtual Machine implementation may provide the programmer or the user control over the initial size of the heap, as well as, if the heap can be dynamically expanded or contracted, control over the maximum and minimum heap size.
GDB Tutorials
What is GDB?
GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.
GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of these) to help you catch bugs in the act:
- Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
- Make your program stop on specified conditions.
- Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
- Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another
gdb is in the gnu package on CEC machines. If you don't have this package loaded then type pkgadd gnu at a shell prompt. If you can run g++, then you will be able to run gdb.gdb can only use debugging symbols that are generated by g++. For Sun CC users, there is the dbx debugger which is very similar to gdb.gdb is most effective when it is debugging a program that has debugging symbols linked in to it. With g++, this is accomplished using the -g command line argument. For even more information, the -ggdb switch can be used which includes debugging symbols which are specific to gdb. The makefile for this tutorial uses the -ggdb switchSummary of the info Command

GDB Tutorials # 1
So you now have an executable file (in this case
main) and you want to debug it. First you must launch the debugger. The debugger is called gdb and you can tell it which file to debug at the shell prompt. So to debug main we want to type gdb main. Here is what it looks like when I run it:

Inspecting crashes
So already we can see the that the program was at line 28 of main.cc, that
this points to 0, and we can see the line of code that was executed. But we also want to know who called this method and we would like to be able to examine values in the calling methods. So at the gdb prompt, we type backtrace which gives me the following output:
