Oil prices have fallen by 50 percent since June after OPEC decided not to cut output in response to lower prices.
Come Obama! Polonium 210 prescribed for Indian masses!
The sharp decline in global crude oil prices gives India a rare “window of opportunity” to put its fiscal house in order and carry out the much-needed economic reforms like cutting down oil subsidy, according to a top World Bank official.
It may not rain on President Barack Obama's parade when he comes to New Delhi this month for the Republic Day celebrations at the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
But, judging by the smog cloaking the capital on Thursday as motorcycle stunt men rehearsed for the Jan. 26 event, the city's notorious air pollution could be a problem.
Come Obama! Polonium 210 prescribed for Indian masses!
Come Obama! Crude oil prices have fallen below $50 per barrel for the first time since 2009, hit by OPEC's production stance, oversupply, weak demand and the strong dollar.
European Brent oil dived to $49.81 a barrel on Wednesday, a 5-year-low. New York crude had already slumped under $50 on Monday. Oil has dropped about 50 percent since June on worries about weak demand and a decision by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting countries (OPEC) not to cut output in response to lower prices.
We are selling off our natural resources. We are selling off our freedom, sovereignty and economy. It is complete FDI Raj for which US President Barack Obama comes India neglecting the Zionist ethnic cleansing carnival of the Hindu Imperialism.
It is the Dollar for which is breaking in.
It is the Dollar for which the bell tolls.
It is the Dollar for which Indian Prime Minister is making in dismissing made in whatsoever.
It is the dollar for which we killed our production system.
It is the Dollar for which agrarian crisis is all about?
It is the dollar for which Indian business is e tailing all about.
It is the Dollar which sets topmost priority for service sector stopping the production.
It is the Dollar for which every law is amended and the constitution has been made irrelevant.
It is the Dollar for which we changed our politics. Changed our foreign policy and our diplomacy.
It is the Dollar for which legends and myths replace the history.
It is the dollar which means sedition in vogue.
It is Dollar valued zero takes away everything and gifts us polonium 210.
Yes, come Obama, India masses have been prescribed polonium 210.
We tend to kill the nature and humanity as we happen to be the subject of an emerging free Market economy. Believe it or not, polonium-210 is one of the radioactive materials found naturally in the human body because of low levels in our environment. Yet the same substance has found frightening use as a deadly poison capable of causing a painful death, and widespread terror.
Yes, I am talking about the polonium-210 which is the basis of belated FIR in Sunanda Pushkar case. The radioactive isotope is in abundance in India now just because we have opted for nuclear energy and nuclear reactors are the popular landmarks in dense population countrywide.
Next time, it might not be a singular case like some Sunanda; it might turn out to be a greater tragedy than Bhopal as Nuclear reactors are not that safe as claimed neither we may stop the smuggling of the radioactive isotope which happens to be thousand times deadly than cyanide.
India will stick to its plans to open up the coal industry to private firms and sell a stake in state-run Coal India Ltd (COAL.NS), despite the resistance by mine workers, the country's coal and power minister said on Thursday.

Fast facts on polonium-210

Here are some key points about polonium-210. More detail and supporting information is in the body of this article.

Polonium-210 is a rare radioactive metal discovered by Marie Curie in the late 19th century.

It has a half-life of 138 days, decaying to lead.

During its radioactive decay, polonium-210 emits alpha particles.

The alpha particles are a very high-energy form of radiation but do not travel far - they can be blocked by a few sheets of paper, and lose all their energy after travelling through a few centimetres of air.

Polonium-210 is therefore poisonous only once it has entered the body.

It is powerfully and lethally toxic - by weight of toxin, polonium poisoning is billions of times more potent than cyanide poisoning. Polonium is one of the most toxic substances known.

It would be very difficult to obtain polonium for poisoning, necessitating access to a nuclear reactor. But once acquired, polonium is relatively safe to transport and hide from detection.

Polonium-210 as a poison must be breathed in, swallowed, or gain entry to the body through broken skin.

A high enough dose of polonium by mouth will lead to acute radiation syndrome - the severity of which, and time to illness and death, is related to the size of the radiation dose absorbed.

The liver, bone marrow and other soft tissues are particularly sensitive to absorption of polonium radiation. The acute radiation syndrome is signalled by vomiting, hair loss, and reductions in white blood cells.

Specialist radiation detectors are needed to diagnose contamination with polonium-210.

Treatment is limited to supportive care against the effects of the radiation, and reversing the poisoning is limited - and confined to cases that are identified early enough.

The outcome between death or recovery is largely down to the size of the radiation dose absorbed by the body.

Former spy Alexander Litvinenko was assassinated by polonium poisoning in London in 2006. British police identified that the polonium-210 had been introduced via a teapot.

The UK's Litvinenko Inquiry into the murder is holding public hearings in 2015.
