Census is an important topic from which you can find some questions in banking and SSC exams. So, here we provide you brief about census 2011.

The Indian Census is the largest single source of a variety of statistical information on different characteristics of the people of India. With a history of more than 130 years, this reliable, time-tested exercise has been bringing out a veritable wealth of statistics every 10 years, beginning from 1872 when the first census was conducted in India non-synchronously in different parts. To scholars and researchers in demography, economics, anthropology, sociology, statistics and many other disciplines, the Indian Census has been a fascinating source of data.

Why Google adsense is the best than other advertising network ?

By
Friends, Today I want to discuss about google adsense service provided by Google for website/blog owners.This service is provided to web publishers to monetize their web content and place ads according to the content and earn revenue by impression and clicks. Google provides title related ads on the webpage which is quite helpful for the visitors because it sometimes provide a direct link and they do not require a google search.Google adsense's tracking system is also of very high quality and in most of cases,it will always remain up to date. Friends,before applying for google adsense,i have applied for various money earning advertising,affiliate networks like amazon,linkshare,chitika,kontera,clicksor,clixsense,adf.ly etc.But out of all these i have not get aggregate money in 6 months that google adsense provided me in just 2 clicks within 10 days.

In some special cases it is 2 electrons).” ☞ ATOMIC SIZE It refers to the distance between the centre of nucleus of an isolated atom to its outermost shell containing electrons. The  atomic radius decreases on moving from left to right along a period .

What are some hacks that everyone should know?

By
Dress well, always. A lot depends on how you look! Pinch yourself if you can't stop laughing. At every job, you should either earn or learn. Either is fine. Both are best. But if it’s neither, quit. To exercise should be done daily, whatever the time. It doesn't matter if it is 5 minutes or 50 minutes. To keep bananas fresh for a longer time, wrap the top part of the bunch in plastic wrap. Research shows that the right ear is better at picking up words & speech, while the left ear is better at picking up music & other sounds. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda when you boil eggs and the shell will come off easily. If you place dry tea bags in smelly shoes and leave them for a few hours, the bad smell will go away. If you want to make sure the person you talk to is paying attention to you, start the conversation with “I shouldn’t be telling you this but…” You can make the elevator go faster by pressing “close” and your floor at the same time.
