south africa win cricket series 2-0 against australia

Image
south africa have won the cricket test series against australia 2-0 by winning the boxing day test match at MCG on 30/12/2008, by 9 wickets. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/shared/fds/hi/statistics/cricket/scorecards/2008/12/15095/html/scorecard.stm http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/ausvrsa2008_09/engine/current/match/351682.html This is australia's first home test series loss in nearly 16 years. In this match australia seemed to be carrying some players who had injuries and some who were out of form. The fall of aussie cricket team seems to have started at the beginning of the year when they lost the perth test against india (even though australia won that series 2-1) . Perth was the last place anyone expected india to beat the australians . In the CB one day series also , India easily defeated the aussies 2-0 in the best of three finals. ----------------------------------------------------------- please leave your comments below --------------------------------------------------------...

beware of student education loans

In India, as education for medical and engineering studies are becoming more and more costly, particularly in private colleges, it is common for students to take out education loans. Most of the students might be taking on these loans in the hope of landing jobs with high wages as soon as they graduate. But they have to remember that many things can happen in the duration of a 4 to 5 year course. If for some reason, the student has some arrear papers by the time he finishes the course, or if the job market for that particular branch of study is not very strong , the student will find it very hard to find a job to support himself and pay off the student loan (some loans might have a 1 year or so grace period after the course duration before repayment starts. ). Even an average student will only start at an entry level position in his job ladder and will take many years before he might have enough experience to get the high wages that he might have dreamt of as a student. So before y...

disposable email

Disposable email address Most internet users must have seen that some internet sites ask you for your email addresses for registering. After that you will get tons of unwanted spam mail in your inbox and you spend a lot of time to delete them. Spam filters can help a little bit.There is another approach. There are some sites which provide you with alternate disposable temporary email addresses. You can give these temporary addresses when registering. Some of these services will forward the mail to your proper email address. Some of the services have no password so that anyone who knows your id can read your spam mail at the site. Some of the services delete all mail after a certain number of messages/amount of time. Some of the addresses are valid only for a certain periond of ime. Some services require some registration procedure while some allow direct usage.Before using such services please read their terms of services

website counters

Image
website counters If you have a website you may like to see the number of people who visit your site, where your visitors come from, which pages are the most popular, which browsers and operating systems your visitors use and so on. Sometimes your web-host themselves may provide you with some of these statistics. If you are using services like geocities they already provide you with some of these statistics. Otherwise you will have to rely on counter solutions available on the internet or make your own counter. Most of the counters available on the internet give you a piece of code which you copy and paste into your webpage. Most of the sites providing these counters will ask for your email address when you sign up. Some of the free counters may send small ads along with the counter. Some examples of third party counters are webstat.com (this counter is used extensively on my site They provide a free version for upto 20000 pageviews per month, and also a premium version/trial ver...

It is sad that something like 8 bills are passed in around 20 minutes (on 23/12/2008 ?) in the indian parliament without much of a debate.(and another 4 on the previous day ! ?) The number of sittings per year of parliament also seems to be decreasing.

integration with adustment instead of long division/partial fractions

Image
integral of x^4 / (x^4 - 1) first we have to do long division since degree of numerator = degree of denominator then we have to proceed to partial fraction but in this method those have been replaced by adjusting the numerator in terms of the denominator and then dividing term by term integration formulae ----------------------------------------------------------- please leave your comments below ------------------------------------------------------------ index of math problems disclaimer: There is no guarantee about the data/information on this site.
