The value of the easting to the immediate left of the figure (here fort) is to be written first (54). Then the value of the northing just south of the fort is written next to the value of easting (21). The grid reference of the fort is 5421.

Eastings 

• These are north-south lines. 
• Their value increases towards the east. 
• The value of the eastings immediately left to the geographical feature is considered for identifying a location.

Northings

• These are lines drawn in east-west direction. 
• Their value increases towards the north. 
• The value of the northing immediately to the south of the feature in the map is considered for identifying a location.

The grid formed by the easting and the northing is called reference grid. Each grid with 2 cm width and 2 cm breadth covers an area of 1 km length and 1 km breadth on the earth’s surface.

Consequences of migration: 

(i) Emigration leaves noticeable gaps in the countries of origin. The loss of well-trained and experienced specialists reduces a nation’s chances of building up workable economic structures by its own efforts. 

(ii) Migration of large numbers of people exacerbates the economic and political problems in their native countries. 

(iii) Loss of young workforce those with skills and those with entrepreneurial talents move, slowing economic development. Loss of labour may reduce inward investment by private companies, increasing the dependency on government initiatives. 

(iv) Migration of men and young families can cause a loss of cultural leadership and traditions. 

(v) Lots of young people migrating out of the country can increase the dependency ratio.

Most Peninsular rivers are rain-fed.

Changes that occurred in India as a result of liberalisation:

(i) Visible changes –

(a) Better services are available in the communication sector, such as telephone, LED television and other electronic goods, at low price.

(b) Many food processing companies have taken over the market, such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other food products.

(ii) Invisible changes –

(a) The share of India in trade and services in the world has increased.

(b) Foreign direct investment in India has increased.

(c) Foreign exchange reserves have increased.

(d) Price rise in terms of percentage have declined.

(e) Marginal growth in industry and increase in employment opportunities is visible.

Circumstances leading to increase in number of old age homes in India:

(i) Sometimes, grown-ups fail to realize their duty and are so much engrossed in their personal lives that they feel it a burden to keep their parents along with them. They feel it as an interference in their personal lives and eventually tell their parents that they cannot keep them.

(ii) The ego clash between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law causes too much stress in the house and the situation becomes such that they can not live together.

(iii) The new generation is becoming more materialistic and their attitude towards the parents is changing. They seem to have lost their patience. 

(iv) Most of the Indian families take good care of their elders, but unfortunately, there are people who treat their parents as liabilities, making them feel neglected. 

(v) Most children reside outside India or in another city for work purpose and the ageing parents are left all alone with no one to look after them. An old age home offers the opportunity to live as a community, giving the feeling of an extended family. 

(vi) A constant cause of tension regarding senior citizens include health related issues and medical emergencies. Since old age homes are exclusively for senior citizens, medical help is always available and they are better equipped to handle emergencies. 

(vii) It has become a common occurrence nowadays of crimes being committed against senior citizens, as they are easy targets. Living in an old age home provides protection and security to them because of constant screening of visitors. Also, gadgets like CCTV offer constant surveillance and video intercoms make sure that it is possible to monitor the visitors.

Reasons for juvenile crime: 

(i) Illiteracy: If children have poor academic performance, poor attendance, face expulsion or drop out from school, their probability of committing crime is magnified. Leaving school early reduces the chance that juveniles will develop the social skills that are gained in school, such as learning to meet deadlines, following instructions, and being able to deal constructively with their peers. A child without a proper education will eventually learn that he or she is at a disadvantage in the workforce. This feeling of hopelessness, exacerbated by the national media’s emphasis on low employment numbers and fiscal crises, can create an environment ripe for juvenile crime. 

(ii) Peer Pressure: Adolescence can be a painful time of growing into oneself and seeking acceptance from peers and social groups. Wanting to fit in and be accepted often serves as motivation for teens to succumb to peer pressure. In a recent survey on nearly 1,000 teenagers, only 10% said that they had not been influenced by peer pressure. Young people cite peer pressure as one of the major reasons they engage in risky behaviour, such as teen sex, reckless driving, alcohol, drug and tobacco-use, crime and gang activity. 

(iii) Substance abuse: Substance abuse on its own can affect cognitive development, lowering a young person’s inhibitions and ability to assess risks. It is also a powerful contributor to crime when combined with other factors mentioned here. 

(iv) Lack of strong moral guidance: Children learn right or wrong by following adult examples throughout childhood—from their parents, if parents are present in the family, from grandparents, nuclear family members, social groups, and other authoritative influences. In the absence of these concerned adults and positive influences, a child may suffer from “moral poverty” which has the capacity to follow a child into adolescence and young adulthood and hence lead them towards committing crime.

WTO stands for World trade organization. 

Guidelines for free trade agreements formed by WTO : 

(i) Non-discrimination among trading partners is one of the core principles of the WTO. 

(ii) The organization also provides a forum for discussions on the implications of Regional Trade Agreements for the wider multilateral trading system. 

(iii) Almost all RTAs show an inherent dynamism towards greater liberalisation and open market. For instance: European Union (EU), where a single market and a common currency have been introduced to strengthen internal competition and external competitiveness. 

(iv) Open regionalism, i.e. agreements with low external trade barriers, service markets and a dominant focus on reducing transaction costs at borders, help get around the complexity of the international trading system.

1. Barbie Doll is Truly a Global Citizen: Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by the American toy company Mattel corporation and launched in March 1959. The doll sells at the rate of two per second, bringing the Mattel Corporation based in Los Angeles, U.S.A., well over a billion dollars in P annual revenues.

Although Barbie sells mainly in the United States, Europe, and Japan, it can also be found in 140 countries around the world. She is truly a global citizen. Barbie was never made in the United States.

The first doll was made in Japan in 1959 when that country was still recovering from the Second World War and wages were low. As wages rose in Japan, Barbie production moved to other lowwage countries in Asia. Barbie’s multiple origins today tell us a great deal about the operation of global commodity chains.

Barbie is designed in the United States, where her marketing and advertising strategies are devised and where most of die profits are made. But the only physical aspect of Barbie that is made in the USA is her cardboard packaging, along with some of the paints and oils that are used to decorate the doll. Barbie’s body and wardrobe span the globe in their origins.

Barbie begins her life in Saudi Arabia, where oil is extracted and then refined into ethylene that is used to create her plastic body. Taiwan’s state-owned 6il Importer, their Chinese ‘Petroleufn Corporation buys the Ethylene and sells’ if to Taiwan’s Formosa Plastic Corporation, the world’s largest producer of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The pellets are then shipped to southern China, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The plastic moulded body of Barbie are made in U.S.A.

Once Barbie’s body is moulded she gets her Nylon hair from Japan, her Cotton dresses are made in China and shipped into Hong Kong. Thus Barbie in a way is a global citizen. But, in perspective, according to Anthony Giddens, “What Barbie production and consumption shows is the effectiveness of globalization processes in connecting together the world’s economics.

However, it also demonstrates the unevenness of globalization’s impact, which enables some countries to benefit at the expense of others. This means that we cannot assume that global commodity chains will inevitably promote development right across the chains of societies involved.”

Greater the string efficiency, more uniform is the voltage distribution. String efficiency becomes 100% if the voltage across each disc is exactly the same, but this is an ideal case and impossible in practical scenario. However, for DC voltages, insulator capacitances are ineffective and voltage across each unit would be the same. This is why string efficiency for DC system is 100%.
Inequality in voltage distribution increases with the increase in the number of discs in a string. Therefore, shorter strings are more efficient than longer string insulators.
