Rittu Aunty, were you aware of our bouncing ball model of the markets? Everyone quoted the conventional Newtonian projectile theory insisting that anything that goes up must come down getting everyone into jittery fits.
We were opining that the markets were like the anisotrpic elastic bouncing ball: that strikes the floor will bounce right back, but it can't do that mid way, wait the floor and ride the journey back up.
Googol Anna, as also Eshers, might recall those days.

Anyone CAN assume anything, PQ sir; the fact remains that we are all frogs in a way; some in the well, some in the kettle and some merrilly hopping around on moist earth totally immune and unaffected by whatever happens around.

Dear Mrs Bhavani
Can i assume that TD investor are like frogs in the kettle. Regarding your finding to adopt to changing trends- Trends (i refer only technology) it is at such a fast pace, finding difficult to cope with pace. However, we have personalities who are prepared to cope with changes in fashions and living style. Regarding Environment - they are seriously working on global warming and new working is going to be in place for Carbon credits and will be out in a month or so. Atleast we must be happy that some awareness is created globally and more particulaly among developing countries- (US has no regard for global warming though they shed crocodile tears on this issue) Cheers

Do you believe this?
****From the Web*****
Would you believe that people who live with each other for 25 years actually develop similar facial features? I don\'t just mean that people tend to choose partners who resemble them, rather that over time together couple\'s features actually converge. It\'s weird, but there\'s evidence for it from a singular study carried out by the noted psychologist Robert Zajonc and colleagues.
Here\'s what they did.
110 participants were shown photographs of men and women in their first year of marriage and of the same couples after 25 years of marriage. Then they were asked to judge their resemblance along with the chance that any man and woman were married to each other. The researchers went to a lot of effort to remove extraneous info and crop photos so that only faces could be seen.
The types of choices the participants made indicated the perception was that couples became more facially similar after 25 years together. The results could not be explained by people simply all looking the same as they got older. Also, data from a control group indicated participants were indeed making judgements on the basis of facial features rather than any other criteria.
So this means if you stick around with your partner, you\'ll end up looking more like them after a couple of decades. Which naturally raises the question: why?
Here are the possible explanations the authors suggest:
1. Diet. If you share your diet with another person it\'s possible this is the cause. For example if both partners eat a high fat diet, both their faces will tend to look chubby. The authors, however, ruled this out using an additional small study.
2. Environment. It could be that it\'s because couples live together in the same area. This means that environmental factors such as sunshine and so on affect the skin in similar ways. The authors rule this one out as well because all their married couples came from the same part of the US Midwest and were matched on a number of other socioeconomic variables.
3. Predisposition. This is the idea that people are more likely to choose partners who will grow to look like them. E.g. depressed people are attracted to each other, so end up looking depressed. The authors give this one a maybe, although it is not their favourite option.
4. Empathy. This is the theory the authors like - and so do I. People grow to look similar because they are empathising with each other and so copying each other\'s facial expressions. Over time because of all the empathising they are doing, their faces come to look more similar. For example, if one partner often smiles in a particular way, the other is likely to copy it - so creating similar patterns of wrinkles and furrows on the face.
Because they liked theory number 4 the authors had another thought. Why not see if those who grow to look most like each other are the happiest couples? Presumably, then, those who get on better, empathise with each other to a greater degree and therefore go on to look more similar. Unfortunately, this test failed to reach statistical significance, so this study doesn\'t give us enough evidence to say whether or not it is true.
A glimpse of the future?
A straw poll of people I\'ve talked to about this research reveals a polarised reaction. Some think that growing to look more like your partner is an horrific idea. Others, though, think there\'s something very sweet and romantic about it. I think I\'m in the latter camp.
There is one worrying possibility this study suggests. It is said if you want to find out what your partner will look like when they\'re older, you should look at your partner\'s parents. Perhaps a glance at your partner\'s parents might also reveal what you will look like in a couple of decades. Truly scary stuff!

Dear N Owl
Your typing is horrible (typos, typing in CAPS, sloppy), to say the least, which can cause enormous confusion to the reader. For example :
Q
ut why would anyone do that to other peoples rated messages??
UQ
have you misspelled *ot* as *ut* ? or *but* as *ut*?
Its a pleasure to read some of your posts - content, flow and language, if you could only take a little more pain (effort), reading your posts would be heaven.

Dear NO,
Good morning
Deletion of messages in this board is going to be the in thing.So in our own interest we should save a copy when we present researched articles.Moreover the usefulness of this MMB has also come to an end with the mgt showing scant regard for the views of the boarders.So it would be more worthwhile to have interactive groups (like yahoo.google) among like minded friends and share views.After all we do not interact with more than a dozen boarders on a continuous basis here too.
Good day!...

They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,
it will leap out right away to escape the danger.
But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late. The frog\\`s survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.
This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.
This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.

Dear pitquote,
I have not called it as a junk. But some body does. I pretty well know that there is a way to earn in every stock and you are a master in it. I am neither a Worshiper nor a devotee srini and you know that.

Deleting any message - the process is the same. RN would've demonstrated with one's own message. Try deleting this post of mine - I'll post it again for deletion.
Delete it as spam or excessive repetition....
