Sri Lankan tops south Asia in human development

SriLanka has emerged first in south Asia in terms of human development according to the latest human development report issued by the United Nations development programme (UNDP).

SriLanka ranks 97^th in the world and first in south Asia  in the human development index rankings disclosed on Friday in the human development report 2011 titled “sustain ability and equity: a better future for all”.

“Human development, which is about expanding people’s choices, builds on shared natural resources. Promoting human development requires addressing sustainability-locally, nationally and globally.

And this can and should be done in ways that are equitable and empowering,” the report said.

Importance of Education

 need for eIt is the simple process of learning and knowing. It is not only restricted to school textbooks but also. Education starts from the mother’s lap. It is family, which inculcate good manners of their children. Education is important for everyone in the world. It makes one able to understand what is happening around us logically. Education not only enables individuals to put their potential to best use and do something productive in the upcoming future. An educated person with self-confidence and precise moves knows how to transform the world.. However, government and civil societies have made the process of education simple by providing basic facilities and making going to the school necessary for everyone up to 10th class.
In today’s day and age, huge emphasis is laid on higher education. Basically society is in need of positions in the society that can benefit the society.Therefore the education is a most essential everyone

EARTH QUAKE

Earthquake

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity, seismic or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. The moment magnitude is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale, also referred to as the Richter scale.

 These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible and magnitude 7 and over potentially causes serious damage over large areas, depending on their depth. The largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although there is no limit to the possible magnitude. The most recent large earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March 2011), and it was the largest Japanese earthquake since records began. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale. The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it causes, all else being equal.
