1. 11/20/20151 THE MASTER KEYS THAT CONTROL WORLD TRADE With Inspiration from my dear friend Dr Shirish Bhave

2. 11/20/20152 A Father was reading a magazine and his little daughter every now and then distracted him. To keep her busy, he tore one page on which was printed the map of the world. He tore it into pieces and asked her to go to her room and put them together to make the map again. He was sure she would take the whole day to get it done. But the little one came back within minutes with perfect map. When he asked how she could do it so quickly, she said, 'Oh Dad, there is a man's face on the other side of the paper. I made the face perfect to get the map right."" she ran outside to play leaving the father surprised.. Moral : There is always the other side to whatever we experience in this world. This story indirectly teaches a lesson..whenever we come across a challenge or a puzzling situation, look at the other side... You will be surprised to see an easy way to tackle the problem… THE OTHER SIDE

15. Choke points are narrow international waterways where three characteristics are present. 1.The waterway should be narrow and capable of being closed off to both commercial and military snipping. 2.There should be no readily available maritime route to utilize in the event of closure. 3.Finally, the choke point should be of considerable significance to at least several States. There are seven “primary” choke points which seem to satisfy these criteria. These are Gibraltar, Bab el Mandeb, Hormuz, the Danish and Turkish Straits, and the Suez and Panama Canals. It also identifies eleven “secondary” choke points, where at least one of the required characteristics is missing. The eleven include Dover, Bering and Magellan Straits, as well as Malacca-Singapore and a number of others in the Western Pacific. 1511/20/2015 CHOKE POINTS

70. 11/20/201570 Admiral Timothy J Keating of the US military, Pacific Command (PACOM) has revealed that China offered to divide the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions between China and the US after Beijing launched its own fleet of aircraft carriers. He added that the incident was disclosed to Indian Navy chief Admiral Sureesh Mehta during their meeting on Thursday May 15, 2009. The proposed “deal” envisaged that after China has its own aircraft carriers — it remains the only major naval power currently without such a capability — the Pacific region could be divided into two areas of responsibility. “(The Chinese officer said) You, the US, take Hawaii East and we, China, will take Hawai West and the Indian Ocean. Then you will not need to come to the western Pacific and the Indian Ocean and we will not need to go to the Eastern Pacific. If anything happens there, you can let us know and if something happens here, we will let you know,” Keating recalled. Source: Indian Express Fri May 15 2009 A STARTLING DISCLOSURE
