Getting the kids to brush their teeth everyday can be a bit of a chore, but there is a simple and easy solution to it by Spread Heads - Toothpaste Heads/Caps.
These encourage kids to brush their teeth.
As the name implies, these caps can be kept on the usual sized toothpaste tubes, replacing the standard cap that it came with.
GOOD DAY FRIENDS.

3. Centre lost 26,000 crore due to Raja: CAG
Posted by: "s. mittal" mittals3@yahoo.com
Date: Wed Apr 7, 2010 7:58 am ((PDT))
NEW DELHI: The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has accused telecom minister A Raja of causing a loss of over Rs 26,000 crore to the government
by disregarding the advice of many experts and persisting with a faulty and outdated policy for issuing new telecom licences.
Raja, who has survived several calls for his removal over charges of corruption, ‘single-handedly’ decided to continue with the policy that cost the government Rs 26,685 crore in revenue, CAG has said in its annual report. ET has access to the report’s contents.
The explosive charge couldn’t have come at a worse moment for Mr Raja, and is likely to strengthen the hands of his many detractors. Opposition parties have been baying for his blood and the Central Bureau of Investigation has been making progress in its investigation into the charges of corruption at the Department of Telecom (DoT).
The CBI, in an FIR filed in November last year, accused certain DoT officials and executives of some private telecom companies of collusion in a bid to get new licences. The agency said the licences were sold without competitive bidding at a nominal rate based on prices fixed in 2001, resulting in a loss of Rs 22,000 crore to the government. In its report, CAG has lent credence to some of CBI’s charges.
Mr Raja could not be reached for comments despite repeated attempts.
A senior DoT official clarified that “government decisions are taken based on merit than on immediate pecuniary considerations such as interest, profit/loss, etcâ€. DoT also said that processing of licences is time-consuming as it involves various approvals and security clearances. CAG has sought responses from DoT on its observations.
CAG, a constitutional authority, audits all government departments and PSUs every year. Its reports are placed before Parliament. However, it is up to the government to take appropriate action on the findings.
CAG’s audit of DoT relates to the issue of new pan-India licences in 2008 at Rs 1,651 crore, a price fixed in 2001 when mobile subscriber base was 45 million and industry valuations were poor. Nine companies were issued licences in a process that was controversial from the very beginning.
DoT advanced the cut-off date suddenly and then incorporated a first-come, first-served clause which some of the bidders got to know of in advance. Some months later, Swan Telecom and Unitech, two of the winners, sold a large stake in their operations to overseas companies at stupendous valuations. This triggered a furore. The audit said many experts, including the telecom secretary, had suggested to DoT that the award of new licences needed to be re-examined since the entry fee had not been revised from 2001. The 2001 fee was based on criteria that did not exist in 2008. The industry had grown bigger, richer and the subscriber base had soared to over 300 million from 45 million.
"...It is evident from the above facts that despite the increase in number of applications and need to review the procedure, the decision to
continue with the existing procedures as well as terms and conditions for the issue of UAS licences was taken by the minister of communications and IT single-handedly," CAG has said.
CAG has also said the telecom policy clearly stipulated that allocation of radio spectrum and grant of wireless licence was subject to availability. However, in case the licensee was not allocated spectrum due to non-availability, it could roll out services using wireline technology. This implied that the applications could be processed even if spectrum was not available.
“Hence, the decision to not process the applications due to non-availability of spectrum was in contravention of the policy guidelines for issue of licence and also resulted in loss of Rs 26,685 crore to the government on account of entry fee,†the audit said.
The CAG report would make the CBI’s case stronger, said an official of the investigative agency on condition of anonymity.
The Enforcement Directorate, too, has registered a case against two firms that were awarded licences through this process, once again highlighting the controversial nature of business dealings in the telecom industry.
The audit report has also pointed out that DoT did not process applications within the stipulated time of 30 days from the submission of applications and the previous telecom secretary misrepresented this fact to the Central Vigilance Commission in his letter dated March 30, 2009.

4. Government may compensate BSNL for 3G, wireless broadband outgo
Posted by: "s. mittal" mittals3@yahoo.com
Date: Wed Apr 7, 2010 7:59 am ((PDT))
NEW DELHI: The Centre may refund a significant portion of what BSNL will pay for both third generation (3G) and broadband wireless spectrum in a bid
to stabilise the financials of the state-owned telco. If refund option is unviable, the government may examine the possibility of permitting BSNL to defer payment for these airwaves until the telco completes its restructuring process, a person familiar with the development told ET.
This will give BSNL a 24-month window to pay for the airwaves, unlike private operators which have only have a 10-day period to cough up the bid amount.
BSNL, it is learnt, is yet to make a formal request but has held informal discussions with the communications ministry on this, two officials with direct knowledge of the development said. Any concessions to BSNL will be strongly opposed by private telcos, which, in the past, have even taken the government to court for bending the rules to aid the state-owned operator.
It is estimated that BSNL may have to shell out anywhere between $2-3 billion for the airwaves as auction norms mandate it (BSNL) must match the price offered by the highest bidder for 3G and WiMax airwaves. The base price for pan-India 3G spectrums is Rs 3,500 crore ($780 million approximately), while for broadband access frequencies, it is Rs 1,750 crore.
Private telcos will be awarded 3G airwaves, which enables them to offer high-end services such as video conferencing and high speed internet on mobiles, after the sale process that kicks off later this week (April 9). Falling revenues from landlines and the three-year delay in expansion contracts for its mobile networks are likely to result in the state-owned telco declare its first ever loss for the year-ended March 31, 2010, after it was corporatised a decade ago.
Last year, the communications ministry had given a headstart to BSNL by giving it 3G and broadband wireless frequencies. The telco currently offers high-end services on both technological platforms, but has failed to build a sizeable customer base to this facility. The Centre has provided reimbursements to BSNL in the past.
The telco received a 100% reimbursement of licence fees from 2001-02 to 2003-04 as compensation for providing telecom services in rural markets. For 2004-05, such reimbursement of licence fees from the government was restricted to a two-third of the levies it paid and was further restricted to one-third in 2005-06. Thereafter, licence fee reimbursements to BSNL were stopped. Between 2001 and 2005, BSNL, it is learnt, received licence fee refunds in excess of Rs 8,600 crore.
In the past few years, despite heavy criticism and even legal challenges by private operators, the government has made several other concessions to BSNL. For instance, in 2007, the telecom department tightened airwaves allocation norms and said telcos must increase their subscriber base between 2-6 times (depending on the circle) to get additional spectrum.
But prior to implementing these norms, the telecom ministry allotted additional radio frequencies of up to 10 MHz to both BSNL and MTNL based on earlier norms issued in March 2006.
This allowed BSNL and MTNL to get additional radio frequencies despite the fact that they did not have to requisite subscriber base to be eligible for this spectrum. Last year, the telecom tribunal slammed the government for using a different yardstick to allot spectrum to BSNL.
The government has not acted on the telecom tribunal directive to take corrective action immediately and take back the additional 2G airwaves allotted to BSNL.
Two years ago, the government defied telecom regulator Trai and reserved one slot of 3G and broadband wireless access spectrum for BSNL and MTNL. Last year, telecom ministry awarded these frequencies to state-owned telcos even as the auctions for private telcos were delayed. Again in March 2009, BSNL and the telecom department signed an MoU to provide the state-owned operator a subsidy of Rs 6,000 crore over the next three years from this fund to sustain its rural operations.

hi,
As per EPF rules you can increase ur contribution more than 12%, but the employers contribution will remain unchanged.
You need to give an application for change in EPF, but in BSNL whether they will allow or not is hard to say.

7. EPF CALCULATOR

Here is the EPF calculator which I made in MS-EXCEL. Just download it and enter the following:-
1. year
2. rate of intrest of that year
3. any O.B.(opening balance) for employee and eployer in coulumn next to O.B.
4. enter all your monthly contribution in the coulumn of each month in employees contribution only
5. and if you get any arrear amount and e.p.f subscription is deducted from that amount then enter the deduted amount in the arrear recovery column of employees only for that month.
You will get the C.B. (Closing balance) of employee and employer for that year.
You can also copy the rows below the row 2 next to the last row and in the same manner you can get the next year calculation.
This calculator gives the exact figure of your intrest and C.B.that you can match with your epf slip which you get from the E.P.F. office.
If any deficiency in this calculator please send the feedback.

Friends,
Please do not write anything on currency note, because those notes can't be
used for standard transaction. i.e. you can't find written notes on ATM
machine.
Because of written notes Indian government (Indian people) loses Rs. 2000
Cr. / Year.
Pl. Forward this alert to all Indians you know.
Let's make some usable forward.
