Everything you need to know about Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is well known for its superiority in image and speech recognition, smartphone personal assistants, map navigation, songs, movies or series recommendations, etc. The scope of AI is so much more and expandable that, it can be used in self-driving cars, health care sectors, defense sectors, and financial industries. It is predicted that the AI market will grow to a $190 billion industry by 2025 creating new job opportunities in programming, development, testing, support, and maintenance.

What is AI?

Artificial Intelligence can be described as a set of tools or software that enables a machine to mimic the perception, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities of the human mind. The ideal characteristic of artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have the best chance of achieving a specific goal. The two main subsets of AI are machine learning (the ability of the machine to learn through experience) and deep learning (networks capable of learning unsupervised from data that is unstructured or unlabelled). We have to note here that, deep learning is also a subset of machine learning.

History of AI

In 1943,Warren McCullough and Walter Pitts published “A Logical Calculus of Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity.” The paper proposed the first mathematic model for building a neural network. Alan Turing published “Computing Machinery and Intelligence”, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test, a method for determining if a machine is intelligent in 1950. A self-learning program to play checkers was developed by Arthur Samuel in 1952. In 1956, the phrase artificial intelligence was coined at the “Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence.” In 1963, John McCarthy started the AI Lab at Stanford. There was a competition between Japan and the US in developing a super-computer-like performance and a platform for AI development during 1982-83. In 1997, IBM’s Deep Blue beats world chess champion, Gary Kasparov. In 2005, STANLEY, a self-driving car wins DARPA Grand Challenge. In 2008, Google introduces speech recognition. In 2016, Deepmind’s AlphaGo beats world champion Go player Lee Sedol.

How does AI work?

In 1950, Alan Turning asked, “Can machines think?” The ultimate goal of AI is to answer this very question. In a groundbreaking textbook “Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach”, authors Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig approach this question by unifying their work around the theme of intelligent agents in machines. They put forth 4 different approaches: Thinking humanly, Thinking rationally, Acting humanly, Acting rationally.

AI works by combining large amounts of data with fast, iterative processing and intelligent algorithms, allowing the software to learn automatically from patterns or features in the data. AI is a broad field of study that includes many theories, methods, and technologies, as well as the following major subfields:

Stages of AI

There are 3 different stages of AI. The first stage is Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) and as the name suggests, the scope of AI is limited and restricted to only one area. Amazon’s Alexa is one such example. The second stage is Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) which is very advanced. It covers more than one field like the power of reasoning, problem-solving, and abstract thinking. Self-driving cars come under this category. The final stage of AI is Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) and this AI surpasses human intelligence across all fields.

Examples of AI

  • Smart assistants (like Siri and Alexa)
  • Disease mapping and prediction tools
  • Manufacturing and drone robots
  • Optimized, personalized healthcare treatment recommendations
  • Conversational bots for marketing and customer service
  • Robo-advisors for stock trading
  • Spam filters on email
  • Social media monitoring tools for dangerous content or false news
  • Song or TV show recommendations from Spotify and Netflix

Risk factors of AI

There is always a downside to technology. Though scientists assure that machines may not show any feeling of anger or love, there are many risk factors associated with intelligent machines. The AI is designed in such a manner that it is very difficult to turn off and, in such conditions when in the hands of a wrong person, things could go devastating. AI does the job that it needs to do but it could take dangerous paths to do so. For example, in driving an automated car, if we tell the AI to reach the destination soon, it may take rash and risky routes or may exceed the speed limit causing immense pain for us. Therefore, a key role of AI research is to develop good technology without such devastating effects.

The Personal is The Political

‘The Personal is the Political’ was a rallying cry of the second-wave feminist movement. The idea was first reflected in an essay by Carol Hanisch titled the same. The radical feminists used this slogan and spearheaded the movement. They believed that women’s oppression occurred everywhere even in areas that hitherto have not been subjected to scrutiny. The slogan was a potential threat and a considerable critique of traditional liberal separation between the political and the personal sphere. 

"The Personal is Political" - Revisiting an old problematic!

Susan Moller Okin, in her celebrated magnum opus, “Justice, Gender and Family” argues that ‘the personal is the political’ consists of four seperate yet interrelated claims. 

Justice, Gender, and the Family by Susan Moller Okin | Basic Books

Firstly, she claims that the private sphere is the ‘sphere of power’. It simply means that power and advantage also characterize the areas of life that are excluded from the political sphere like the family life and personal relationships. For instance, the subjugation of women, domestic violence and subservient position of children in family are best examples of the same. 

Secondly, she claims that the political sphere infiltrates into the personal. That is, institutions like family that are considered to be highly personal are not immune from interference from the State. For instance, the State decides the form of marriage, i.e. if it is to be homosexual or hetrosexual; the State decides the requirements for marriage like the marriage age, number of spouse permitted, legal rights and duties applicable to married couples, incentives and tax benefits, ownership of property, conditions for divorce, etc. Therefore, Okin claims that there exist no private sphere absolutely free from any form of State interference. 

How COVID-19 is exacerbating gender inequality in scientific research – The  Publication Plan for everyone interested in medical writing, the  development of medical publications, and publication planning

Thirdly, she argues that the private sphere or family life creates psychological conditions to govern the public life. Family is an arena of social construction and social construction is deeply gendered in patriarchal societies. For instance, in patriarchal societies, there will be certain standard norms that govern clothing style, make-up and beauty concepts. Family or personal sphere is an arena where we, as individuals, develop our attitude towards these norms. That is, if children grow up in a household that is characterized by gendered division of labour, they will feel that these are ‘right’, ‘good’ and ‘natural’. They will internalize these differences and apply them in their lives in ways that will undermine gender equality. They will internalize the idea that women are nurturers and nourishers and should have ultimate responsibility for childcare as opposed to male role of breadwinning. This makes the gender differences instill in the next generation and gets perpetuated in the society. And hence, the personal sphere conditions our attitude and values that govern the political or public sphere. 

Choosing to challenge gender inequality in the post-COVID future of work

Lastly, the private sphere is characterized by gendered division of labour and creates barriers for women in all other spheres of life. That is, women’s material and mental resources are exhausted or diminished by the need to take over all the domestic work in the household. Women have to work in their house as well as in their workplace. These days where childcare is expensive and holidays that are not in sync with the children’s school holidays, women are forced to take unpaid leave and sometimes resign from their job to take care of their children.

GOOD PARENTING

“Nobody on Earth can ever love you more than your parents.”

Parents and children have a special bond of love and affection. This bond can never be replaced by any other form of relationships, for as the saying goes, “Blood is thicker than water”. Parenthood like any other job requires dedication and sacrifice. So, what qualities should parents impart that would be considered good parenting?

Parenthood is a natural consequence of marriage. Prospective parents should recognize their responsibilities and realize what parenthood involves. One of the essential qualities parents should have is the acceptance of the role of parenthood. The father may resent the child because it would be a rival for the attention of the mother and father, more so if the child is a baby boy. Mother, on the other hand, is put in a different class where her time is no longer her own. Household routine is changed as baby makes demands on her time. Both parents should be willing to make sacrifices, including their career and accept their responsibilities.

Parents love their children and this is a universal truth. But love should in no way or at any time be considered as synonymous with parenting and spoiling the children. They should instill in the children qualities which will help them face life with a sense of integrity and strength of character. These can be cultivated if the parents teach them positively.

Parents should set good examples and provide the right atmosphere which is conductive to the growth of good character traits. A child learns good virtues and the influence of his parents counteract all other influence good or bad as like father like son.

In general, good parenthood requires love and understanding. These two qualities can build a strong world of parent-child relationship. Love must be wholesome but not blind in that it does not ignore discipline and moral values. This love must provide security and confidence to the growing child to be a good thinking adult. Understanding means giving the child the opportunity to find out what he wants, the freedom to try new ideas and the support when the child meets with failure.

Parents should be themselves and allow the children to grow up to be themselves too. Give support and encouragement wherever necessary but temper with love and understanding. Being a good parent is in itself a growing process. Learn to love but love wisely.

GRAVITOPHOBIA!

‘Tomorrow is the 30th day of challenge, this is it’, Anisha kept thinking. Started at 94 kgs before a month, Anisha was an obese girl standing 5’4″ tall. She wanted to make it to 60 kgs in 5 months for her brother’s wedding. The night before the result day was the longest night Anisha had ever seen. The excitement and nervousness of result didn’t allow her to sleep properly. It was this day she had been waiting for so long.

In the morning she was ready to step onto the weighing scale. The wait for the result day was finally over. She was also thinking about the chocolates, pizza, ice-cream and every other food item she’d eat today after a keto of one month. The day before there were only two emotions she was facing i.e., nervousness and excitement but today another emotion took the prior position and that was fear. What if she hadn’t lost any weight by now? What if that one spoon of custard spoiled it all? What if this one month of starvation and sweating goes in vein? She had been noticing the difference in her physique but still the fear of not losing weight took over.

She finally stepped onto the scale. Her heart pounded as fast as the rumbling of numbers on the scale. The number started rising over 80 kg, at that time Anisha just wished for it to stop before 90. She placed her palms over her face to cover her eyes from seeing the result, though she kept peeping from between the fingers. ‘89.75’ the scale said. Anisha was happy for she lost about 4 kgs in a month but wasn’t satisfied. After one month of the hard-work she expected to lose at least 5 to 7 kgs. But all she lost was 4 kgs. After a battle with herself she had decided onto a cheat meal but the disappointment with her results led her to grief eating.

At some point or the other we also have faced the same situation as Anisha. Losing weight or gaining weight has been a constant struggle in everyone’s life. The only thing that keeps the strugglers associated with each other is the ‘WEIGHING SCALE’. From the leanest to the heaviest, this scale haunts every person at least once in their lifetime. If you ask an obese person if what scares him the most, the answer wouldn’t be ghost, dogs or some fancy phobias but it would be weighing scale.

While everyone is trying to fit into the societal norms of the ideal weight, many are starving themselves to death for the perfect figure. But who has made these norms defining perfect body type? If the person if healthy in his own body weight then who is society to define his perfect body type or ideal weight?

This concept not only makes the people starve and over-eat but also ruins their self-esteem. In India specially a great emphasis is laid on the weight of adults who have just turned 20, for they have to get ready for the marriage proposals. ‘Itni moti ladki se shaadi kaun karega? Itne patle ladke ko toh ladkiya dekh kar hi mana kar dengi. Thoda sa weight kam karle/ badha le fir perfect hai shaadi k liye. Chaar log kya sochenge?

Do not let those chaar log or the numbers on weighing scale define your perfections. Everybody is a unique person and the key to happiness lies in embracing your uniqueness. It is always advised to live a healthy life, but healthy just doesn’t mean physically healthy but also mentally healthy. Love Yourself and embrace your flaws like your perfections.

Social Distancing: A Computer Vision Approach

For the interim, while we’re as yet in the center of a worldwide pandemic, we should look at how we can productively authorize COVID-19 guidelines, explicitly friendly removal, to limit hazard and help save lives! 

As per the CDC, social removing is a wellbeing practice that eases back the spread of the illness. The prescribed distance to keep among yourself and others who are not from your family is 6 feet, regardless of whether inside or outside. Social separation is basic in lessening the spread of COVID-19 since this spread is basically brought about by individuals getting in close contact with one another. The ultimate objective is “leveling the bend,” for example diminishing the pace of disease transmission among people to mitigate a portion of the tension on the medical services framework.

Along these lines, robotizing the way toward observing social separation would be urgent in implementing COVID-19 rules and eventually controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. Similar to the case with other everyday life issues, Deep Learning and Computer Vision present a suitable and productive robotized answer for this issue. In this blog entry, we will investigate the various parts of this issue and the manners in which we approached tackling them. Prior to bouncing into the “how”, how about we look at the “what”, for example the outcome we are focusing on.

AIM

The aim of this PC vision module is to distinguish social removing infringement from video feed. To accomplish that, we need to appraise relational distance among walkers and contrast that with the base permitted distance to be kept between people, which is 6 feet. This apparatus is particularly helpful now that urban areas from one side of the planet to the other are step by step stripping back lockdowns while still keeping up COVID-19 guidelines.

METHODOLOGY

  1. People Detection and Tracking
  2. Perspective Transform
  3. Interpersonal Distance Estimation
  • Individuals Detection

The principal technique we propose is to conclude the tallness of distinguished people from the stature of the subsequent jumping box we get from the People Detection model. This would be the simple, clear approach to this. In any case, one may call attention to that individuals finder can recognize individuals whose bodies aren’t completely noticeable in the casing, and consequently this would slant the scale. What’s more, some recognized people may be a lot nearer to the camera than others are, and this may likewise slant the scale. The only way we can cure this while utilizing this methodology is to continually refresh our scale for each edge we go through in order to accomplish a strong scale over the long run that isn’t influenced by exceptions.

  • Posture Estimation

Another methodology that may make up for the deficiencies of the past strategy                                                                                                            is to gauge the stature of individuals in pixels by figuring the distance between their body joints controlled by a posture assessor. The upside of this strategy is that we can get more subtleties on the amount of the individual’s body that appears in the edge for example the uttermost joint recognized is that of the middle.

Results

Since social removal ought to be polished alongside other protection gauges, a potential expansion could be checking if the identified walkers are wearing face veils. Various sorts of alarms that reflect various degrees of risk can be presented, whereby more meddlesome cautions would be raised for walkers abusing social separation and face cover guidelines all the while. 

Another conceivable expansion that could build the exactness of our scale assessment system is to join the sexual orientation of the recognized people. Females can be thought to be 5 foot 4 (162cm) and guys to be 5 foot 7 (171cm). 

Ultimately, individuals tallying and swarm thickness assessment can be significant augmentations to this instrument to make it more all encompassing.

4 Reasons to choose Jobs over Business

Job vs Business has been a hot topic to talk about always. Many people who advise you to choose business over jobs forget that being your boss is not everyone’s cup of tea. There is no denying businesses that have their perks of not getting fired, being the boss, having people to work for you, etc.

Following are 4 reasons to choose Job over business:

  1. Jobs offer you more security. People usually choose Jobs over Business because jobs offer more security. By losing one job or getting fired one can still assure themselves of getting another one. However, the business loss comes with a lot of risks and sometimes unbearable.
  2. Stable Income. The business has there own profit and loss. They are never stable as they keep fluctuating from time to time. But Jobs assure you a steady income every month without having a fear of loss.
  3. Work fewer hours. Working under someone comes with 9-5 working hours and weekends off and not to forget the bonuses you get. While being a boss is getting flooded with work calls and being swamped.
  4. You cant lose your house if your get laid off or fired. When your business experiences a fall or loss you risk your assets too. Whereas your job offers you no such risk. One can still enjoy on savings they have.

Stay Home, Stay Safe

COVID-19, the very word gives millions of thoughts. There are people pleading to stay indoors and as citizens each and every one of us holds the responsibility to keep our kinfolk safe and sound. Most of the people fail to do this by roaming out for unnecessary things. One will never know the value of something unless that precious thing is lost. This is matter of a billion people’s lives. There are people dying even without proper funeral. There is no cemetery to bury the dead and there are no places to cremate. In a night cremation places are built and people are cremated even before the place is dried. There are doctors who don’t even remember to eat food and sleep. Most of the doctors lost their lives by serving people. There are nurses and lab technicians who are risking their lives just to treat you. They fight with your life taker to give back your life by risking their life. They face so many life and death in a day, and it is not an easy thing for them to handle. They will never have people around them for comfort, the stay away from their family and they are humans too, they will have emotions and feelings. Most of the doctors lost their lives just to give back your life. Before coming out of your home just think about your family and loved ones without you. Just think about how people will suffer. Many people who aren’t even affected by corona lost their lives without proper first aid. Hospitals and doctors were busy taking care of corona patients and people with mild heart attack, stroke and fits passed away without proper first aid. All these happens in a blink of an eye, no farewell words, not even hugs to comfort the broken, not even a little more time with the soulless body. That pain is unbearable and one will never understand unless one undergoes such situation. There are still people who stay indoors without meeting their loved ones for years, just to keep them safe and their loved ones too. Hope everyone can be the same just to keep your kins safe. Is there an end to this? Is there any possibility to return back to normal life? Will students be able to enjoy their college life? Questions can be added like this. But possibly none can answer. Stay home, Stay safe. Wear masks and sanitizers now and then. Be safe and sound and lead a happy life with your loved ones.

HARDWORK VS SMARTWORK

Hard work is the work which takes more time and complex in doing the task. But in opposite, Smart work takes a smaller time compared to Hard work, and the work can be completed with smart work and efficient. Hard Work we can complete a task successfully, but in order to gain name and fame among people and get recognition Smart Work matters a lot. Smart Workers prioritize their tasks, complete the most important ones first and the rest later. This makes their job easy since they can act towards a solution depending on the priority. Smart Work lets you understand the time consume even before performing the task. With a plan on what needs to be done, Smart Workers reach the success pole soon. In a sense, working hard in a smart way will lead to success in any task assigned to us.

To achieve anything in life, one has to commit to continuous hard work, which will lead one to the summit of achievement. There is no shortcut to success, only one’s persistent efforts can turn our goals into reality.

Smart work is the fruit of hard work. And to master the qualities of smart work, one needs to work really hard work focuses on what kind of method should be used to achieve the result, hard work entirely focuses only on the end result. If the drive is considered as the heart of your hard work, then the plan is considered as the skeleton of your work.

Hard work without a definite strategy is always considered as a futile attempt and is simply a wastage of time and resources. For most of the successful people, they have put in a considerate amount of hard work so as to achieve their goals. For most of the successful people, they have put in a considerate amount of hard work so as to achieve their goals.

Advantages of Smart work

  • It teaches time management skills.
  • Because of smart work, we now have more free time. For example, modern transport systems reduced effort and time in moving to another place.
  • Smart work improves productivity.
  • Smart work is time efficient

Advantages of Hard work

  • Hard work teaches us patience and discipline.
  • The result of hard work will be more appealing to us because we put a lot of effort into achieving it.
  • Everyone will choose hardworking persons to work under them.
  • Hard work always paves a way for success

Without Hard work, smart work cannot be succeeded, and without smart work, hard work cannot be succeeded. So to attain a good position, both hard work and Smart work both are important for the success.

Quantum Machine Learning: Overview

Quantum Machine Learning is an exploration field in Quantum Computing. It is essentially the execution of Machine Learning calculations in quantum computers instead of customary computers. To comprehend Quantum Machine Learning we need to initially realize what is Quantum Computing. 

Quantum Computing outfits a portion of the wonders of quantum mechanics and vows to convey gigantic jumps forward in handling power. Specialists anticipate that quantum machines soon enormously beat even the most prepared to do the present and the upcoming supercomputers.

Why is Quantum Computing

Quantum computers guarantee to control energizing advances in different fields, from materials science to drug research. Organizations are now exploring different avenues regarding them to create things like lighter and all the more remarkable batteries for electric vehicles, and to help make novel medications.

Quantum Computer

A Quantum Computer (QC) is an actual gadget that applies the properties of quantum mechanics to registering to deal with data recently and tackle issues not addressable by the computers of today. Quantum computers are not supercharged traditional computers and they will supplant old style computers in the near term. A QC capacities uniquely in contrast to an old style computer by taking care of issues probabilistically. 

By processing major particles and discovering approaches to control them, researchers have made the essential structure square of a quantum computer, called a quantum bit or qubit. Qubits can reenact their old style computer partners, possessing a condition of one or the other 0 of 1, and have extra computational force mode conceivable by the quantum mechanical properties of superposition and trap.

Quantum machine learning is the incorporation of quantum calculations inside machine learning programs. The most well-known utilization of the term alludes to machine learning calculations for the examination of old style data executed on a quantum PC, for example quantum-upgraded machine learning. While machine learning calculations are utilized to figure gigantic amounts of data, quantum machine learning uses qubits and quantum activities or particular quantum frameworks to improve computational speed and data stockpiling done by calculations in a program. This incorporates half and half strategies that include both traditional and quantum handling, where computationally troublesome subroutines are moved to a quantum gadget. These schedules can be more mind boggling in nature and executed quicker on a quantum PC. Moreover, quantum calculations can be utilized to break down quantum states rather than old style data. Past quantum figuring, the expression “quantum machine learning” is additionally connected with traditional machine learning techniques applied to data produced from quantum tests (for example machine learning of quantum frameworks, for example, learning the stage changes of a quantum framework or making new quantum tests. Quantum machine learning likewise stretches out to a part of exploration that investigates methodological and underlying likenesses between certain actual frameworks and learning frameworks, specifically neural organizations. For instance, some numerical and mathematical procedures from quantum material science are relevant to traditional profound learning and the other way around. Moreover, analysts examine more theoretical ideas of learning theory concerning quantum data, in some cases alluded to as “quantum learning theory”.

Quantum-enhanced machine learning alludes to quantum algorithms that tackle undertakings in machine learning, subsequently improving and frequently facilitating traditional machine learning methods. Such algorithms commonly expect one to encode the given old style informational collection into a quantum PC to make it open for quantum data handling. Consequently, quantum data preparing schedules are applied and the consequence of the quantum calculation is perused out by estimating the quantum framework. For instance, the result of the estimation of a qubit uncovers the aftereffect of a double characterization task. While numerous recommendations of quantum machine learning algorithms are still simply hypothetical and require a full-scale widespread quantum PC to be tried, others have been carried out on limited scope or specific reason quantum gadgets.

What extraordinary takes ?

When you are covered in problems. When you don’t see hope. When you just wanted to give up. Surrounded by challenges. Don’t tell yourself there is no way out. Think about how good this story is going to be. When you succeed, despite this challenge. I you fail. Its not over. You didn’t lose. It was a lesson. When you learn that lesson, it will make you stronger. Because

MINDSET IS EVERYTHING

It determines, you will succeed or lose. Because when most people give up, and if you don’t, you are already on the path of success. Mindset is the courage to back yourself, no matter the circumstance or situations or the challenges. There is no limit in the mind who is prepared, to do learn whatever is required. To do whatever it takes. This is the mind set you need to create in order to success.

If you wan to live extraordinary life, you must have extraordinary mindset. Don’t look for the easy option, instead look for the growth option. Not for the fast way, but for the best way. Trust your hardworking, not the result. Always ready to give all. Heart and soul. Even when the society doubts you. Don’t let your mindset shake. When no one believe in you. You believe in yourself. 

To have a extraordinary life. You have to work harder than other. Work for longer hours.  

Time management

Oh, hey finally you are here. Welcome back. You were been out so busy with your life. we are also busy everybody is busy doing something done what exactly. The truth is in this day and age being busy is almost like a static symbol it’s something that a lot of people inspire to be, to look and appear busy.

Being busy is actually not something to be envied, it indicates somebody who has control of their life and is unable to prioritize effectively. If anyone it saying I am busy, I don’t believe it. You make time for what is important to you.

Cut off the things in your life that are just really draining all of your efforts and simply may not be worth it. Your time has to be something that you need to actively protect. So, step back and look at your life as an observer and to recognize where you’re expelling large amounts of time and effort that are being wasted.

One thing you can do is set a clear goal prioritize and then give yourself a set amount of time to work on it. Often times we get to the end of the day and we’ll say I got nothing done today, I accomplish nothing today. This happens to me sometimes. So, I say, I am going to jo just one thing done today and just try to do that one thing. If you can just take one solid step in the right direction each day. Instead of a bunch of random half steps in random directions, then you can get a lot done.

In loving memory

Dear sweet heart,
you left your nest
You flew away,
In search of your friendship
Up in the sky,
Amongst the indelible clouds
To fly unbridled
To hug the unseen altitudes
To sing never ending songs
In the teeming snow,
Your past faded away
The spring left behind,
The withered leaves
Our lives are predestined
When it falls apart
Bliss gets hidden
I prepared myself
To be ur shadow forever
Even the thick snow
Can’t hide the old lanes
No agony
Could make us forget
I will never forget,
The good times that we had
I see you only in my dreams,
You are my sun to heal and moon to feel

Music

Music is the rhythm of life. Music plays an important role in dealing with one’s emotions. There are different types of music where people listen to it according to their mood. Music is played indifferent occasions such as marriages, reunions, birthday parties, bachelor parties and in family functions. It spreads happiness and joy in a person’s life. Music helps one to connect with soul and life. Not only in joy music helps but in fragile it heals. Music comforts in times of disaster and it soothes a person in hardships. One of the greatest musicians Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart quotes that, “The music is not in notes, but in the silence between”. Not only man composes music but it’s also the nature, the whistling of wind, buzzing of bees, sound of rain and the chirping of the birds that heals one when in solitude. Everything that has rhythm is music. Music has the power to heal diseases like depression, insomnia and anxiety. It also helps in concentration of young minds. Music is considered to be the powerful form of worship to God and to connect with the soul. Music is the language of soul and it is called as universal language because it knows no boundaries.

Centre allots 5 kg of grains free to poor

The Union government announced that 5 kg of food grains would be provided to 80 crore beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY).

  • The foodgrains will be allocated free-of-cost @ 5 Kg per person per month to nearly 80 Crore beneficiaries covered under the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) over and above NFSA foodgrains.
  • It would be on the same pattern as the earlier PM-GKAY.
  • PMGKAY is a food security welfare scheme announced in March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • It is operated by the Department of Food and Public Distribution under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution.
  • The scheme aims to feed the poorest citizens of India by providing grain through the Public Distribution System, to all the priority households (ration cardholders and those identified by the Antyodaya Anna Yojana scheme).

Ways to deal with Energy Vampires

People who suck or drain your energy can be termed Energy Vampires, Energy Suckers, etc. These are the people who suck out all of your energy make you feel mentally exhausted physically tired and all drained up. This can be more concerning if they are your close ones. They gaslight you in such a way that leaves you feel guilty and sad. Having such people in your life can make you restless, sleepless, anxious and can affect your mental well-being. Such people are a big red flag. But we do not usually recognize or navigate such people around us that easily.

Signs to look for in people who drain you:

  • They have all intense, high nervous energy and are dramatic all the time. These people have their energy all high in such a way that sucks all your energy. They have their melodrama always on by making big deal out of nothing.
  • They have all intense, high nervous energy and are dramatic all the time. These people have their energy all high in such a way that sucks all your energy. They have their melodrama always on by making big deal out of nothing.
  • Attention Seeker: They try to get your attention now and then. They try to impose themselves on you.
  • They never try to comprehend while you communicate. They never understand your point of view and think high of themselves which eventually makes you feel guilty.

Ways to deal with Energy Vampires

It is not easy to navigate an emotionally draining person especially if it’s somebody in your close circle.

  • But once you have navigated that person do not feel afraid to counter them.
  • Prepare yourself firmly to confront them.
  • Do not feel guilty after refusing or saying no to such a person.
  • Stay calm and don’t feed onto their drama.
  • Talk to them make them understand what you feel about their behavior.
  • But most importantly, keep your mental health above everything and take utmost care of yourself.

COVID-19 TREATMENT AT HOME

With the increasing number of cases day by day, India witnessed a high demand of ventilators, oxygen cylinders, injections, medicines and beds. People are struggling for even a breath due to lack of oxygen supply. The corona virus pandemic has challenged the health care system of India and has seriously disturbed the mental balance of the front-line workers. People who reach out to the hospitals for better care and medical assistance are being sent back at their respective homes in home isolation in order to save those who are critically affected by the disease.

Here are some tips suggested by doctors which could improve the quality of care which you can offer to your family/friends/relatives who have tested positive for covid.

The first and the foremost thing to do under such a scenario is to isolate the patient, followed by sincere monitoring of the patient’s health for which some monitoring equipments are required such as a pulse oximeter to keep a regular check on the patient’s oxygen saturation level, thermometer for monitoring body temperature, gloves, mask , garbage disposal bag and hand sanitizers to avoid infection from the patient, and a separate washroom if possible. Proper ventilation in the isolation room is equally important. Keep the windows open and the fans on. Thermometer and pulse oximeter are the most important monitoring devices. Always wipe them before use to ensure correct readings. In every six hours, the following things should be monitored:

  1. Pulse
  2. Oxygen Saturation
  3. Body temperature

Take two readings of oxygen saturation level. (1) While sitting (2) After exercising for 1 minute (sit and stand for 1 minute). If the oxygen saturation is above 94%, continue to monitor the same, no need of hospitalization. If oxygen saturation is between 92 to 94%, continue monitoring after every four hours (in rest position only). If oxygen saturation level is below 92%, immediately contact your doctor. Fever is also to be monitored after every six hours. If the body temperature is high than normal, the patient can be given 1gm paracetamol in every 6-8 hours depending upon the body temperature.

Ensure sufficient hydration of the patient. Inhaled Steroids like BUDESONIDE can help the patient in such a situation. The prescribed dosage of BUDESONIDE is 800 MCG twice daily through the spacer. These steroids usually come in aerosol packages.

If the oxygen saturation of the patient continues to decline from 92%, the patient should immediately arrange for hospitalization. But if the beds are unavailable and hospitalization is not possible, the patient could be given any ONE of the following medicines- (1) Dexamethasone 6mg/day or equivalent steroid (2) Prednisone 40mg (3) Methylprednisolone 30mg (4) Hydrocortisone 150 mg.

It is highly recommended and scientifically proven to lie down in prone position. This position increases oxygen saturation level in the body. In severe conditions, an oxygen cylinder or nasal canula would also be required to increase declining oxygen levels.

Signs of improvement include oxygen levels higher that 92%, respiratory rate less than 24 breaths per minute and the patient experience no breathlessness.

The following are the drugs which are NOT recommended/useful by doctors:

Azithromycin, hydroxychloroquine, doxycycline, favipravir, ivermectin, remdesivir (can only be used upon doctor’s prescription)

The above tips are derived directly from highly reputed doctors but it is advisable to kindly consult your doctor before following the above tips. Stay home, save lives.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

In today’s context health is very much important, especially during the lockdown period due to COVID-19. Health and fitness plays a vital role. Health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social wellbeing and not merely physical wellbeing. Health and fitness go hand in hand. Health is very important aspect of fitness.  We have to stay healthy; we have to keep fit. We must concentrate on our fitness if we have to maintain our health. Health is wealth, and we must take care of ourselves. Being healthy does not merely refer to exercising regularly; it is a much vaster concept. We should be conscious about our health now, especially now-a-days.

To concentrate on ways to be fit, we must understand the reasons for which fitness is required. Our lifestyle has changed by and large, and we are more accustomed to eating out. Meals cooked at home are healthier, but our work takes us to different places, and we cannot expect home-cooked meals.

To make up for our lack of eating healthy, we must take proper care of ourselves by exercising regularly. Exercise does not, however, mean that we have to spend our whole day in the gym or we have to give up eating our favourite food.

Obesity has resulted in more health issue and problems. According, to the data the obesity rate has risen all over the years. There are four primary components of fitness, cardio-respiratory capacity, muscular capacity, flexibility, and body composition. Cardio-respiratory helps is intake of oxygen supply. Flexibility helps us in doing yoga and exercises. Muscular capacity helps the muscles to stretch and strengthen. The composition value to be maintained correctly. Increase (or) decrease may result in various health problems.

By enduring daily physical activities, you are not only improving the state and condition of your body, but your state of mind as well. This can benefit your mental state of mind by improving your confidence, and make you feel overall better about yourself and your looks. It is vital to eat our food at proper times. Dieticians suggest us to eat small quantities of food at multiple times. This helps in proper digestion and assimilation of food. We should intake sufficient green, leafy vegetables and a lot of water. Water regulates our body processes and facilitates overall functioning. Food intake plays a vital role in maintaining our body healthy. Food intake have many advantages to keep our Health fit. And also drinking a lot of water will also help in fitness and keeps our body hale and healthy. We must maintain our health and fitness simultaneously. We have busy schedules, but maintaining our health is very much important, and many of us do not find time to exercise. Thus, we must find alternative ways of applying. Walking a certain distance, using stairs instead of elevators and lifts, and maintaining a proper sleep schedule are some ways of staying fit. Sleep is crucial for a healthy and productive life. An individual must sleep for an average duration of eight hours per day

Computer Vision

Computer vision is an interdisciplinary logical field that manages how computers can acquire significant level comprehension from computerized pictures or recordings. From the viewpoint of designing, it looks to comprehend and robotize undertakings that the human visual framework can do.

Computer vision errands incorporate techniques for getting, handling, investigating and understanding advanced pictures, and extraction of high-dimensional information from this present reality to deliver mathematical or representative data, for example in the types of decisions. Understanding in this setting implies the change of visual pictures (the contribution of the retina) into portrayals of the world that bode well to points of view and can inspire proper activity. This picture comprehension can be viewed as the unraveling of representative data from picture information utilizing models built with the guide of calculation, material science, insights, and learning theory. 

The logical order of computer vision is worried about the hypothesis behind fake frameworks that separate data from pictures. The picture information can take numerous structures, for example, video arrangements, sees from various cameras, multi-dimensional information from a 3D scanner, or clinical examining gadget. The innovative control of computer vision looks to apply its speculations and models to the development of computer vision frameworks. 

Sub-spaces of computer vision incorporate scene recreation, occasion identification, video following, object acknowledgment, 3D posture assessment, getting the hang of, ordering, movement assessment, visual servoing, 3D scene displaying, and picture restoration.

large numbers of the connected examination themes can likewise be concentrated from a simply numerical perspective. For instance, numerous techniques in computer vision depend on measurements, streamlining or calculation. At long last, a huge piece of the field is dedicated to the execution part of computer vision; how existing techniques can be acknowledged in different mixes of programming and equipment, or how these strategies can be adjusted to acquire preparing speed without losing a lot of execution. Computer vision is additionally utilized in style online business, stock administration, patent pursuit, furniture, and the excellence business.

The fields most firmly identified with computer vision are picture preparing, picture investigation and machine vision. There is a huge cover in the scope of strategies and applications that these cover. This infers that the essential procedures that are utilized and created in these fields are comparative, something which can be deciphered as there is just one field with various names. Then again, it seems, by all accounts, to be vital for research gatherings, logical diaries, meetings and organizations to present or market themselves as having a place explicitly with one of these fields and, consequently, different portrayals which recognize every one of the fields from the others have been introduced.

Applications range from assignments, for example, modern machine vision frameworks which, say, examine bottles speeding by on a creation line, to investigation into computerized reasoning and computers or robots that can appreciate their general surroundings. The computer vision and machine vision fields have huge cover. Computer vision covers the center innovation of computerized picture examination which is utilized in numerous fields. Machine vision as a rule alludes to an interaction of joining mechanized picture investigation with different techniques and innovations to give computerized examination and robot direction in mechanical applications. In numerous computer-vision applications, the computers are pre-modified to settle a specific undertaking, however techniques dependent on learning are currently getting progressively normal.

Computer vision undertakings incorporate strategies for procuring, preparing, dissecting and understanding advanced pictures, and extraction of high-dimensional information from this present reality to create mathematical or emblematic data, e.g., in the types of decisions. Understanding in this setting implies the change of visual pictures (the contribution of the retina) into portrayals of the world that can interface with other manners of thinking and evoke suitable activity. This picture comprehension can be viewed as the unraveling of emblematic data from picture information utilizing models developed with the guide of math, material science, insights, and learning hypothesis.

How and where to start programming language

Even if you feel depressed. It’s too late. I should have start learning. So, just don’t be. It’s never ever too late. Do you recalled, my pervious blogs. What is the most diffcult task is to make a start. Now the problem comes where to start and what to start.

I would say, don’t start with any programming language. Start with HTML. By learning HTML. Your confidence level with build up. You will find youself motivated.

Once you find yourself, motivated. go for C/C++. Here you can learn, from scratch. Once you started to understand the terms and learn it. All other programming languages, are just with a small change and little modification. For next level you can go to Java/python. Both are very good.

When you learn the basic. Before going to the advance. Start to learn SQL. It is very basic. and easy. IT is used for storing and modification of database.

When you are done, with this much. Now go for the projects build. In java for for javafx/jframe.

After completing, all this you can go for IOS development.

Now. You would have though. Where should I learn? Best option, go for Udemy. it cost approx. 455 or 500 rupees. The investment made in the education is the best investment.

What about practice?

go for hacker rank. The best. I go the same.

When you want to revise. The best option is visit w3shools.

They really have, best short on page each topic. And the most important thing, which i particularly like. They cover all topic. even syntax.

JUST GO FOR IT. MAKE A START.

KEEP LEARNING

ALL THE VERY BEST

Haters of the kpop

As in India, the kpop fans are growing along with this, haters are also growing.

So, today, I am here you tell all of you about the darkest and the hardest path about being in kpop idol. I think before hating or loving them its important to know some basic information.

There are many difficulties, idols have to face. They have to go though the 6-7 years of training. At training, they are not provided enough food. And they have to Practice at 12-14 hours. The competition level is very very though. Many of the idols become malnutrition. They are not allowed to eat. Because they have to be slim.

This become more difficult for a female idol. For them, they can have max to max 47-48kg. And they are always of the strict diets.

Their companies are very harsh to them. Many of the idols left the path. Many are getting beaten, just because they want perfect.

As you all know, it is cold country. So, even in the negative temperature level, they can’t be something warm.  There personal life becomes no longer personal. There every move is detected.

They didn’t have dating permission. Even if they have. The company make sure, that it, didn’t end well.

After having such a huge struggle, still they, made it. I am not saying, become fan of them. But at least, we should increase, hate. We should instead learn from them, about their struggles.

Let’s increase, happiness, not Hate

ATLEAST HAVE RESPECT

Thankyou

SESHAN- A Name quoted during Elections

Recently the elections took place in many states of the country. Amidst the corona crisis, the one state which captured everyone’s eye is West Bengal. While the entire nation is suffering from the virus, shortage of oxygen and beds, and high spikes in everyday cases, rallies are being held in the state of West Bengal. Hundreds and thousands of people are attending the rallies on daily basis without following the covid-19 norms. The state itself tracked about 12876 cases in the last 24 hours.

The eight-phase elections in Bengal during second wave of Covid seem to follow none of the covid norms and political rallies are a potential source of spreading the infection. While the Election commission being warned many times for the same, on Thursday finally the court censured the commission. The Chief Justice, High Court of Calcutta remarked: “The Election Commission is empowered to act, but what is it doing about polls in these Covid times? The EC is just passing circulars and leaving it to the people. But the EC has implementing authority” Stating that the election commission had not been able to match even one-tenth of T.N Seshan’s office. It further warned the commission, ‘They better act like Seshan or we will.’

This is not first time the name ‘Seshan’ has come up, even before this many times this name is cited while the elections are held. But Who is Seshan and why do people remember him during the times of elections?

Best known for his electoral reforms; the 10th chief election commissioner of India, Tirunellai Narayana Iyer Seshan was born in 1932. He served as a civil servant and a bureaucrat in the Indian Administrative Services. He was awarded Ramon Magsaysay Award for government services in 1996.

He is considered to be the one who has redefined Election pattern of India. During his period as an Election commissioner (from 12 December 1990 to 11 December 1996), he acknowledged the malpractices which were going on in the electoral system of the nation.

Out of all the reforms he implemented some of them are as mentioned below:

  • Enforcement of Election Code of Conduct.
  • Appointing election officials from states other than the one facing polls.
  • He made Voter IDs compulsory for all eligible voters.
  • He implemented a limit on Candidates’ election expenditure.

Some of the malpractices identified and were prohibited after, are as follows:

  • Using government funds and machinery for campaigning
  • Using the places of worship for campaigns
  • Distributing liquor during the campaigns and outside the voting booth.
  • Bribing, intimidating, or threatening voters for the vote.
  • Barging into voters’ caste or communal feelings.
  • Using high music volume and loudspeakers for campaigns (however this was allowed only if the parties have sought written permission).

 Some of his other works done to reform the electoral system are:

  • More than 40,000 expenditure accounts were reviewed by him and about 14,000 candidates were disqualified on the account of providing false information.
  • The Elections were canceled in Bihar and Haryana due to some electoral issues in 1992.

Based on these reforms, during the General Elections of India in the year 1999 about 1400 candidates were disqualified for 3 years based on not submitting their expenditure accounts. Even after completing his office periods his reforms proved to be the new shape of the electoral system of the nation, limiting the campaigning strategies for the political parties.

Whenever there’s an error noticed in the Indian Electoral pattern, only one name comes up: ‘T. N. SESHAN’.

Voice of a Lab Technician

Where positive is storm and negative gives calm
We test urine and stool, to make the patient cool
While dealing with fluid, we fail to dial the cupid
We always multi task and cover with a mask
Perfect with a sample, Even when we’re trampled
Even in our pain, we have to work with stain
No matter what we suffer, Have to prepare a buffer
And with the pippete, we don’t miss a snippet
Rbc we screen to detect the antibody clean
We also use the centrifuge to avoid the subterfuge
Bacteria and virus we fight ,without even a little fright
Social Media is How? and Culture Media we love
Bomb may explode, still we don’t forget colour code
To safe guard your kin, dispose only in the bin
Our life is full of tests, And we always give our best
It’s not a lap to rest, But a lab to test..

Little Bird

Oh my little bird
Those every teary eyes of yours
Were they wipped off
In your little nest
The one that is frequented
By thousands of little birds
The branches from which you leapt
Are adorned with flowers
Oh my little bird
Drench yourself in this soothing drizzle
And sing along
Oh my little bird
Adorn the colours of the rainbow
Good times are here
Now it’s time to go on a quest
To fulfill those little dreams of yours.

APOCALYPSE

The world ended 2019 with the news that a mystery respiratory virus had been discovered in the animal market of Wuhan, China. What seemed to be a minor piece of news at the time has now evolved into a global pandemic. There is a force among us that is invisible to the human eye but strong enough to wipe out the lives of millions of people in a short period of time. It is, without a doubt, a challenging situation for the entire planet. For our own sake, it necessitates that we take a few simple yet necessary steps. The question is, have we yet realised how important it is to take these precautions?

Although most of us are binge-watching shows and whining about our messed-up schedules from the safety of our houses, even more are bravely braving the elements. We are lucky to have doctors and nurses who selflessly put themselves in tense hospital conditions every day to ensure that we are not exposed to the confines of an isolation ward again. We should be grateful to the cops who are continuously guiding us back to the safety of our homes when their own lives are on the line. Let us not forget about the manual scavengers who continue to clean up our garbage. We should be proud of scientists all over the world who are devoting every ounce of their expertise and experience to developing a vaccine that works. Humans will have less physical interaction, which will not only relieve the intense stress on their minds, but will also speed up the process of ‘flattening the curve.’ At the same time, seeing reports like “infuriated people pelting stones on the local police,” “COVID positive patient reportedly fled the hospital, refusing to be held in isolation,” and “Public is blatantly breaking rules while being in the fourth step of lockdown” is disheartening. All we have to do is stay inside and only go outside if absolutely necessary.

It took a pandemic to make us understand the value of protecting our own and others’ welfare. Nature has hit us in the face by infecting us with this virus, a really clever way of saying, “You can’t survive without me.” But I can’t do it without you.’ Nature is giggling hysterically at us because we disregarded its cries.

Who knew a fictional character could reliably predict the future when Tony Stark said, “I’m sorry, the Earth is closed today.” It is in our hands to determine whether or not the Earth will stay closed in the future.

Spirituality vs Religion

People usually think that spirituality and religion the identical thing. However, these two are distinct from each other. Spirituality is more of an individual approach while religion is something practiced by a community or a group.

Spirituality is an individual practice, it deals with personal well-being. Our life is comprised of ups and downs, good phases and bad phases. Many people perceive spirituality as a way to find solace and seek peace and find stability in their respective lives. It helps you in coping with uncertainty in life and helps one to comprehend or find your actual purpose in your life.

Whereas, Religion is a set of beliefs practices by others. Fundamentally, religion is believing in pre-established beliefs and customs. Religion is believing that you have a dependable power that dominates you As you know these are two distinct concepts, they should not be used as a tool to radicalize one against the other. Choosing any of them or both is a personal preference and subjective path.

As Dr. Schneider puts it so succinctly, “What we may be learning from the struggles of our time in this area of the religion and spirituality context, is how to sip lightly to institution even as we drink deeply of our tradition.”

Does the COVID-19 Vaccine Cause Blood Clots?

In the course of recent weeks, we have known about exceptionally uncommon entanglements of a few COVID-19 antibodies. The most common is the AstraZeneca immunization, with 23 unfriendly responses out of a huge number of doses conveyed. Next is the J&J antibody, with 7 or 8 unfriendly responses out of the 7 million portions conveyed.

Unmistakably, the dangers from these antibody responses are low, with under 1 out of 1,000,000 experiencing this unfavorable occasion. This is contrasted with the much higher dangers related with the Covid.

An investigation of these uncommon occasions was distributed on April 16 by lead creator Marie Scully, M.D., and her group, in the New England Journal of Medicine. Dr. Scully tracked down that a couple of beneficiaries of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 antibody endured an uncommon platelet factor disorder prompting coagulating and draining intricacies.

Other basic medications have coagulating as a danger, yet the significant distinction is that these COVID-19 immunization patients endured mind clumps (cerebral venous apoplexy). 

The British administrative organization presumed that the danger of clumps in antibody beneficiaries was like that in the typical populace. So they embraced the continuation of the AstraZeneca shots. 

The US FDA, then again, stopped the J&J antibody under fundamentally the same as conditions.

What Dr. Scully found was that the vast majority of the 23 AstraZeneca immunization beneficiaries made antibodies against a protein in their platelets. Platelets are cell parts answerable for framing clusters and halting dying. The antibodies focused on a protein called platelet factor 4 (PF4). PF4 assumes a significant part in injury fix and irritation. 

Interestingly, the creation of antibodies against PF4 was first found in quite a while (3%) who responded ineffectively to heparin (a blood more slender and hostile to coagulant regularly used to treat coronary failures). This uncommon response is called heparin-actuated thrombocytopenia (HIT). 

The patients who responded ineffectively to the AstraZeneca immunization showed indications that looked a ton like HIT, despite the fact that none of the patients got any heparin medicines before their side effects began.

Since HIT is an all around archived and treatable condition, there are symptomatic tests for the condition. The test is called a catalyst connected immunosorbent test (or ELISA for short). ELISA delivers a shading change when it discovers the protein of interest — for our situation, antibodies for PF4. 

Dr. Scully and her group utilized ELISA to affirm that their COVID-19 inoculated patients for sure made antibodies against PF4, very much like HIT patients do.

The creators did initially portray the 23 patients in this examination who experienced coagulating or draining responses out of a huge number of AstraZeneca antibody beneficiaries. 

The middle age was 46 and gone from 21 to 77. The creators noticed that 70% were more youthful than 50, 61% were female, and all were beforehand “fit and well… with no set of experiences of an ailment or utilization of a prescription prone to accelerate apoplexy… “. 

The creators a few exemptions for the last assertion: 1 patient had a background marked by profound venous apoplexy (typically thickening in the fringe veins like in the legs, yet which can once in a while remove and travel to the lungs and become extremely perilous), and one patient is known to be taking oral contraceptives, which can have coagulating hazard as well. 

The entirety of the patients got their first shot of the AstraZeneca antibody from 6–24 days before indications. 

22 out of 23 patients showed proof of coagulating, and of those, 13 had indications steady with cerebrum clusters.

All patients had negative SARS-CoV-2 test outcomes utilizing the standard RT-PCR test. 

Just ten patients gave blood for an immune response test for the infection’s nucleocapsid protein. All were negative, recommending that there were no new diseases in any of the ten tried. 

Levels of antibodies to the spike protein in those ten trials were at anticipated levels for beneficiaries of the immunization. Antibodies against occasional cold infections were additionally true to form for immunization beneficiaries and everyone. 

Thirteen patients tried low for fibrinogen, which is a protein in blood important for clusters to frame. Low fibrinogen puts the patient in danger of dying, while undeniable levels put them in danger of inordinate blood clumps. 

Simultaneously, these patients showed low fibrinogen proposing a danger of uncontrolled dying. They likewise showed extremely high D-dimer levels, a protein section that outcomes when blood clusters regularly disintegrate during the mending cycle. 

As talked about previously, the key test was the ELISA test to check for antibodies to PF4. This was positive, which means ELISA identified the enemy of PF4 antibodies in 22 out of 23 patients. 

Immunoassays like ELISA are bad at making HIT analyze. At the end of the day, if an ELISA test is positive and says you have HIT, there is a decent possibility you don’t. So a subsequent reinforcement test is required, which is regularly something many refer to as a HIT practical examination. This test shows that the patient’s blood (with the assumed antibodies against platelet protein PF4) can trigger coagulating. The mix of the ELISA test and the practical measure is viewed as adequate for a determination. 

The utilitarian examine was just performed on 7 of the 23 patients, and of those tried, 5 were positive. 

This recommended to the creators that the antibody set off changes in these couple of patients, which made platelets enact and cause thickening, and that this was practically like HIT.

FRIENDSHIP AND RIVALRIES: COOPERATIVE MALE DOLPHINS

FRIENDSHIP AND RIVALRIES: COOPERATIVE MALE DOLPHINS

When it comes to friendships and rivalries, male dolphins know who the good team players are. New findings, published in Nature Communications by University of Bristol researchers, reveal that male dolphins form a social concept of team membership based on cooperative investment in the team.

Bottleneck dolphins have their own names - Big Think

The Bristol researchers , with colleagues from the University of Zurich and University of Massachusetts, used 30 years of observational data from a dolphin population in Shark Bay, Western Australia and sound playback experiments to assess how male dolphins responded to the calls of other males from their alliance network.

Dr. Stephanie King, Senior Lecturer from Bristol’s School of Biological Sciences who led the research, said: “Social animals can possess sophisticated ways of classifying relationships with members of the same species. In our own society , we use social knowledge to classify individuals into meaningful groups. like sports teams and political allies. Bottlenose Dolphins form the most complex alliances outside humans, we wanted to know how they classify these relationships.”

Male dolphins offer gifts to attract females: study

Dr. Simon Allen, Research Fellow at Bristol’s School of Biological Sciences , who contributed to the study , added: “We flew drones above dolphin groups , recording their behavior during the sound playbacks, tracking their movements underwater and revealing novel insights into how dolphins respond to the calls of other males in their network of allies.”

Males responded strongly to all of the allies that had consistently helped them out in the past, even if they were not currently close friends. On the other hand , they did not respond strongly to males who had not consistently helped them out in the past, even if they were friends. What this shows is that these dolphins form social concepts of team membership, categorizing allies according to a shared cooperative history.

Dr. King said: “Such concepts develop through experience and likely played a role in the cooperative behavior of early humans. Our results show that cooperation-based concepts are not unique to humans, but also occur in other animal societies with extensive cooperation between non-kin.”

PRODUCTIVITY DURING ONLINE CLASSES

Most of the readers, are students, and attending the online classes. Have you wonder how much it is productive? Question is very easy. But the answer depends, or more particularly the situation depends. For example. We Are attending classes in online platform. We are not able to concentrate. There are many distractions available in this time. We have a lot and lots of social media available. Which is not possible in physical teaching?

 Our eyes get strain. We are having a lot of headache. Of course, the reason is not only online classes. Even after completion of classes. We spend hours on social media, or movies, or whatever it is. In addition, our work also needs hours, to seat Infront of computer screen. It affects. It’s the fact. But, what about productivity? You can concentrate in any paid course; you have taken to learn from any website. But can’t concentrate in online class. That’s not possible.

Its all about mind set. Everyone, have a mindset that college, doesn’t teach. So, even if the college teachers are giving the best. We, as student Doesn’t want to concentrate. And the main reason for not concentrate is because you don’t have any interest in that subject or the topic. Whether it is offline or online. We would not concentrate. But, as our human nature. We always try to convinced our heart, by giving any excuse.

Yes, Where I was Productivity.

I depend on you totally depends on you. Stop procrastination. Think of the things you wanted to learn. Even any programming language, or any subject of interest. Go for it. Make a research. You can also contact me for programming language. Keep yourself busy. And most important divert your mind to some work. Think in this way, when you are sitting at home a whole day, and you are unable to concentrate, or learn anything, then how are you going to learn when your school or college reopens. The Time you are getting now, will be waste. And always there are some people, in group who may show off, by telling, they learn so many things, during covid. At that time, you will regret. So, it better to start. Just make a start. You can do it.

 If you want to become extra, you have to work extra. There is no use of any motivation, or any kind of lecture, or videos. Only you have to make a mindset. Make a goal, set a target. Or which study buddy. Make each other’s target. Check daily progress. Check the time you utilize in social media or YouTube, or any other platform. Many have said that we have to utilize some time daily in Instagram or Facebook. No, it’s not needed. It totally depends on you. Ask yourself, do you really want to see YouTube now? If yes, then go, make 10 min alarm. It really helps. And in my opinion, the best way to avoid. Which I use, is make target with best friend, not actually a target, but a promise, that you are not going to use the app. It really helps, because, whenever, you want to visit that app, your friend will appear in mind, and the promise you made. You can try once. But with the best friend. I really help. I am doing the same.

Just do it. It’s better than the future regret. Start it. Believe in yourself. You can do it. And you will do it. Article is going big; I should wrap it. There are many things I wanted to include. Maybe next time.

Internal motivation is the only key motivation.

ALL THE VERY BEST FOR START

YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

THANKYOU

Online Learning

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” – Mahatma Gandhi

ONLINE LEARNING
Lockdown is not meant to countdown days. Staying indoors can never stop someone from learning what they need. Learning a skill can help an individual to achieve his/her dreams. There are too many online platforms that can help one to master a skill of their choice. Owning a skill which can help you in taking higher levels in career is better than wasting time and making minds idle. As the proverb goes “an idle mind is a devils workshop”, it’s better to learn something which can build you stronger than what you are now. Online classes are now more interesting and interactive. In this rapid advancement of technology, online learning is a part of many institutions.it also offers the perks of attending classes from one’s dream university in abroad. One can even socialize with even in this social distancing and curfew through online mode. Live face to face interactive sessions are really interesting that it helps an individual to be more attentive in the class than the lecture hours. Taking an online learning program one will be an officially registered student in the institution and have access to the same resources such as an on-campus student like digital library and student union membership etc. As a ship without a captain is like a bird without wings, there are captains and mentors to guide students in online learning. An essential way observing a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time, lectures are a staple of online and computer based learning, one can attend lecture from any place. As online student one can choose to access any course information and complete the assignments anytime. This allows a student to fit study time in and around his/ her work, family and other commitments. This also helps students who wish to work while continue studying need mot put their careers on hold and get the best of both student and employee worlds.

An Initiative to provide grains under PMGKAY

India is one of the worst-hit countries by the second wave of covid-19 and the situation is getting worse with every passing day since March 2021. When 3,32,730 new cases were recorded on 22 April 2021 (the highest spike in one day), the cumulative count of coronavirus cases has so far exceeded the mark of 1.5 crores. The death toll is soon going to reach the mark of 2 lakhs. Along with the shortages of oxygen and beds in the country, there is a scarcity of even death beds for people to cremate.

Amidst this crisis, many people have shown up to help and support the nation in various ways possible. Tata steels and Reliance when working at the up-front to provide oxygen to the states worst hit by the pandemic, there are other small organizations set up which are providing food to the families hit by a coronavirus. Many Religious places have turned themselves into covid-care centers providing proper beds and nursing facilities.

While there are not just the patients infected with a virus, who are affected due to the second wave of the pandemic, there are many laborers, students, businesses suffering in their respective departments due to the virus.

Following the allegiance of helping poor people, The Government has announced to provide free food under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana on 23 April 2021 (Friday). Five Kgs of grains are dedicated to being provided to the needy for the two upcoming months i.e., May and June. A total of 26,000 crore budget is been assigned for the same. This initiative comes in after the spike of cases noticed in the country in the last few days. It is expected that this scheme will benefit about 80 crore beneficiaries.

Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Ann Yojana also described as PMGKAY was started in March 2020 when the country started suffering from the Global pandemic. It was part of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package (PMGKP) which was a package planned for the poor to fight the pandemic in March 2020. Last year it was planned for 3 months i.e., From April to June.

According to the Union Ministry of Food and Public Distribution, a total of 116.02 lakh metric tonnes of food grains was distributed to the 80 crores Ration-card holders under the National Food Security Act for free. Its success was observed in the first month of the scheme itself when about 93% of food grains were distributed among more than 74 crore beneficiaries. It targeted more than 72 crore beneficiaries with the distribution of about 91% of food grains. In June 2021, about 56 crore beneficiaries were allocated with about 71% food grains. This was done with the addition of subsidized food grain already provided under the Public Distribution System (PDS).

It is a good initiative taken by the government to provide help to the ones in need. While there are schemes and many people are taking up initiatives to help us during this pandemic, It is also our responsibility to take care of ourselves and our family. We must stay at home and leave only if it’s too necessary. Following covid-19 guidelines can save us and those related to us. Take care!

PRESENT EFFECTS OF COVID19

This Coronavirus has impacted all over the world. This situation is very critical to overcome for each and every individual in the Country. It has affect the ages of child, teenage, adult and even elderly people.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus) has affected day to day life and is slowing down the global economy. This pandemic has affected thousands of peoples, who are either sick or are being killed due to the spread of this disease. The most common symptoms of this viral infection are fever, cold, cough, bone pain and breathing problems, and ultimately leading to pneumonia. This, being a new viral disease affecting humans for the first time, vaccines are not yet available. Thus, the emphasis is on taking extensive precautions such as extensive hygiene protocol (e.g., regularly washing of hands, avoidance of face to face interaction etc.) social distancing, and wearing of masks, and so on. This virus is spreading exponentially region wise. Countries are banning gatherings of people to the spread and break the exponential curve. Many countries are locking their population and enforcing strict quarantine to control the spread of the havoc of this highly communicable disease.

Presently the impacts of COVID-19 in daily life are extensive and have far reaching consequences. These can be divided into various categories:

Healthcare

  1. Challenges in the diagnosis, quarantine and treatment of suspected or confirmed cases                              
  2. High burden of the functioning of the existing medical system                   
  3. Patients with other disease and health problems are getting neglected everywhere       
  4. Overload on doctors and other healthcare professionals, who are at a very high risk                        
  5. Overloading of medical shops with medicines                                                                                                                
  6. Requirement for high protection for the people                                                                                         
  7. Destruction of medical supply chain

Economic                                                                                                                                        

  1. Slowing of the manufacturing of essential

A Day to love and Hate

It’s just a day after a long wait
And I love it for what I had
But I hate it too
For what it took with itself
It’s a day of parting
I wish Let dis day to last long
And it will, in my hrt♡!!

Life is something that is really unpredictable. Sometimes in life there will be a moment that will heal you and simultaneously break you. Happiness and Sadness at the same time. Most probably that will be the day of giving up what you loved the most for the person whom you love the most. Giving up something you love the most can never be easy and it takes an immense amount of courage to make such decisions in life. Sometimes you have to give up something, to receive something else. Each and every single day in our life, life itself is being a great teacher teaching millions of lessons for life. It breaks and melts at the same time it fills and moulds. But behind all of these when you have someone to understand you is the most beautiful thing in life. Life cost’s much more than anything else in this world. No matter how much you earn or what you own, all that matters is how happy you are at present. The moment you own is yours, make that moment happier than before to lead a peaceful life.. Don’t just exist LiVe!!

FATE

Everyone has their own forest where we may never go to. But it’s always been there, all the time. Those who have lost will get lost. Those have met will meet each other again.

India at 142nd rank on press freedom index

“The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent,and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.”

India ranked 142 out of 180 countries in World Press Freedom Index, 2021, produced by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), a French non-governmental organisation.

In 2016, India’s rank was 133, which had steadily climbed down to 142 this year. The RSF report says India is one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists trying to do their job properly.

There are many reasons why this situation arises for journalists in India which we discuss in below points:-

It’s not all depends on the government but its also depends on the Journalists too. In India most of the Journalists has categorised themselves in various category like , some are meant themselves as left, some are right, some are in religious categories etc.

While some are managing themselves and their professionalism in shake of individual profits and also to take various advantages. Also the party(not specific) which is in rule always try to handle the press because Press controls the minds of the masses, and it is a major issue of Journalism.

There is also a major problem of journalism is that new journalists having non of the future scopes and also not having decent knowledge step into the journalism and for the shake of early popularity they opt a shortcut and start presenting their views( which is not actually theirs ) against or for a specific religion, so that most of the people from that religion starts following them .

Now if we expect these things to be better, we have to be more aware of these things, and Journalists have to practice their role in un-biased way, They have to do what actually Journalism is…

HOW TO STUDY AMIDST PANDEMIC

“Victory comes from finding
opportunities in problems.”

Do you prefer to study at home? We millennials have an inherent ability to sneakily use social media during classes, whether in the classroom or online. During our lectures, we know how to eat, sleep, and chat, and that tradition will continue online as well.

But, by the end of the day, don’t we get to do anything useful? It may be navigating congested roads in the rain, maintaining positive social relationships, or engaging in practical learning. During this online process, we will miss out on all of that. So, in such a situation, how does one become productive? It all comes down to self-control, in my opinion. Nobody is pressuring us to read, study, or do something productive; there is no pressure, and we have complete control of how we spend our time.

Which is better: online or in a classroom? Since it is much more receptive and engrossing, the solution is a classroom environment. Learning online, on the other hand, has its advantages. With more spare time on our side, we become more productive time managers. Having said that, I am aware that most of us fall victim to the vicious cycle of procrastination, and to combat this, I have begun to use the Pomodoro technique, which appears to be successful. It divides work into 25-minute chunks, with a 5-minute leisure break in between and a 20-minute reward break after 2 hours or so. It assists me in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Nobody knows how our educational environment can shift in the coming months, so we must make the most of the time we have and learn some useful skills while we’re at it.

Researchers working on a universal coronavirus vaccine

We are at an intersection against the battle for COVID-19. While inoculations in various districts of the world give trust, seething new variations are adding a reason for concern. A year prior, we were attempting to all the more likely comprehend the Covid and ideally discover a fix looking like an antibody. Presently, we have an immunization, yet we need to manage a lot of local variations which are evidently significantly more infectious than the first form.

While the U.K. Brazil and South Africa have been battered with variations — B.1.1.7, B.1.351 and P.1 separately, you can add B.1.617 to the rundown. This most recent expansion has begun in India and is making ruin for the neighborhood populace. Clearly, the greatest reason for worry among worldwide wellbeing specialists is whether the at present created antibodies can kill these recently discovered variations. If not, the researchers should change the antibodies each time another variation is found and this may represent a significant test in fighting the pandemic viably.

Researchers with an end goal to remain on the ball and now chipping away at building up an immunization that isn’t just simpler and a lot less expensive to deliver however could likewise handle all the momentum and future strains of COVID-19 alongside other Covids. Specialists at the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech have directed effective creature preliminaries on such an antibody. The inventive methodology utilized in the process could emerge as $1 a portion immunization, which can be created in existing industrial facilities all throughout the planet.

As per the subtleties, UVA Health’s Steven L. Zeichner, and Virginia Tech’s Xiang-Jin Meng, kept pigs from getting sick with a pig model Covid, Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV). The antibody would clearly likewise tackle the issue of capacity and transportation — something which is of key significance with regards to immunizing individuals in the far off districts of the world. The actual immunization was made utilizing another stage Zeichner created to quickly grow new antibodies.

Throughout the span of the COVID-19 pandemic, new strains of extreme intense respiratory condition Covid 2 (SARS-CoV-2) arose. The issue is that the immunizations that are presently accessible were created to explicitly focus on the strain identified with the underlying flare-up. While the endorsed immunizations have shown comparative efficacies against some arising strains, like the U.K. “Kent” strain, known as B.1.1.7, they have demonstrated less viability at ensuring against others.

Right now, no found strains are known to deliver the accessible antibodies ineffectual, however a few immunizations are showing decreased adequacy against certain strains (March 2021). Examination has shown that current immunizations are less powerful against the South African and Brazilian variations, known as B.1.351 and B.1.1.248. Information shows that the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca immunization is inadequate at forestalling gentle to direct sickness related with diseases of these variations, albeit the organization accepts the antibody keeps up its viability against serious instances of COVID-19.

Right now accessible COVID-19 immunizations have been created with new methods, for instance one that utilizes courier RNA and another that utilizes changed adenovirus vectors. Both these strategies educate the human body to deliver a specific Covid protein to incite a resistant reaction and brief the body to create antibodies that at that point stay in the insusceptible framework prepared to fend off possible contamination. 

There are benefits to utilizing these new advancements in making the as of now accessible Covid immunizations; they have great wellbeing profiles and they can be adjusted to focus on another infection unfathomably rapidly. 

Nonetheless, the current antibodies utilizing these methods don’t create immunizations that can give widespread security against an infection as they target single proteins that are explicit to the strain. 

There are four primary underlying protein bunches that cosmetics SARS-CoV-2: the S protein, N protein, M protein, and E protein. Most immunizations are zeroing in on the spike protein, which has been discovered to change with various variations. 

At present, a few organizations are chipping away at immunizations focusing on different protein targets, if not every one of them. A few researchers are utilizing conventional antibody making methods, those which open the body to all the infection’s protein by presenting it to the actual infection. One of these techniques acquaints an inactivated infection with the body. 

Numerous antibodies are a work in progress, some of which show guarantee at being multivalent and offering assurance against transforming SARS-CoV-2 strains. Organizations are likewise chipping away at refreshing current antibodies to reflect new transformations.

LOCKDOWn-RIGHT OR WRONG?

Lockdown-Right or Wrong?
We are facing the difficult times of our history.We are fighting with an enemy who is too powerful and the secret of its death is not revealed till now.Corona is that powerful enemy we are fighting with.It is attacking our life too badly and we are too much afraid with its power.We have no idea how to deal with it-how to protect ourselves,our family,our friends,our nation.Our government is trying too protect us from this killer-virus.Some vaccines are also produced by the scientists.But that is not sufficient to protect our lives as the vaccines can reduce the effect of the corona virus but can not fully kill it.We need some other weapons to fight with this enemy(corona).And we know the virus is spreading from persons to persons.Multiple corona cases chains are being made everyday.The healthy persons are becoming unhealthy by getting in contact with the infected persons.So it clearly indicates that the virus is spreading from one being to another.And if we really want to stop this then we have to break these corona chains to make our people safe.So we have a weapon named as LOCKDOWN to fight with this enemy named corona.Lockdown is a situation where unnecessary activities are being stopped and the risk of virus spreading is controlled.Only necessary activities are being allowed in a particular place.
But what do you think-Lockdown is right or wrong?
Different people have different needs.

Advantages :

  1. Lockdown Ensures Public Health Safety
    Public Health Emergency is why the government enforces a lockdown. This scenario is the preliminary phase of a Medical emergency that halts the movement of viral infections by ceasing movements of humans.

A person is allowed to go out of the home for essential needs only. A lockdown is put to effect when a country has not adequate antidote or cure to curb the impact of a pandemic.

  1. Controlling Pollution
    Blatant to eyes, during a lockdown people tend to minimize using their vehicles and automobiles including public transport. Industrial activities are also restricted during the lockdown phase, which also results in minimal emission of pollutants into water bodies and atmosphere.

Venice, Italy can be taken as the ideal outcome of lockdown. After declaring a lockdown after the COVID-19 outbreak, the fall in number of tourists turned out to be vital for the canals of Venice.

  1. Balancing the Ecosystem
    Being progressive and dynamic is what humans need to survive on earth. But, sometimes we also forget that nature treats every creature the same. Where lockdown seems quite disturbing to the humankind, it is turning out to be environment-friendly.

A clean and fresh atmosphere is what springs wildlife and brings balance to the ecosystem ultimately. With stopping the combustion of resources and fuels, animals get the benefit of lockdown entirely. Lockdown is a restorative process for many species that are extinct at the moment.

  1. Encouraging Healthy Lifestyle
    Sounds rhetoric, but that sometimes a strict and disciplined lifestyle is what can be beneficial during a lockdown. Staying indoors means, you can capitalize on your time and money on your health and the things that surround you. Access to food and healthcare items means you cannot access liquor or smokes even though you have an extreme urge or craving for such.

For chain smokers and alcoholics, Lockdown seems a lifetime opportunity to stay bid goodbye to unhealthy practices. Also, you can draw yourself to good habits and utilize the creative side of your brain investing your time in healthy exercises and activities.

  1. Staying Indoors Means Family Time
    For the people with busy and hectic work life, Lockdown narrows all the possibility of missing out on your memorable moments with family. Limited and restricted contacts lead you to stay close to your loved ones which can’t ever be possible while you are occupied at the workplace.

You tend to learn to share some quality time with your family and staying together at the worst of times. As the saying goes, “Bad Times Brings us Closer.”

Disadvantages:

  1. Unemployment Crisis :Becoming the world’s first country, India had enforced an experimental lockdown for 21 days. This 21-day lockdown has put India on the verge of an economic crisis. With no further reports or orders on how long this lockdown might get extended, people with no job security (daily wagers) dreaded job loss due to this emergency.

Even though many governments assure to supply unessential workers to guard their life with benefits, not all the affected people are able to entertain the benefits. Around 3.3 million people alone in the USA had applied for unemployment claims endangered by the pandemic fearing a job loss.

2.Disturbance in System Machinery
From manufacturing to R&D sectors, from Blue-collar to White-collar employees, the work machinery gets into total disarray. One of the most concerning and noticeable downsides of lockdown situations is its impact on the education system. The pandemic strikes the developed and the developing nations equally.

With nations relying on digital modes of education, the education system may still be in order. But the businesses are severely impacted. While with developing nations, the situation is exactly upside down.

3.Displacement of Daily Wagers
Bringing an entire country to Lockdown can result in massive exodus even if the citizens are not allowed to do so. Heading back to New Delhi (India) where blue-collar employees had no employment benefits like US-Citizens with no job security.

With a population of more than 1.3 billion, the Indian government had gambled with many lives. On the fourth day of lockdown, many migrant laborers stranded in New Delhi had to flee the Capital City due to lack of shelter, food, money and imposed restrictions due to public health emergencies.

4.Black Marketing and Food Shortage
With limited time to buy food and other essential supplies, people tend to buy more items than usual and stockpile. Many consumers are left empty-handed since the supply of commodities during a lockdown gets shortened by many reasons.

Where some people stockpile the commodities, some may panic due to a shortage of supplies. This situation may lead to price-hike and also shortage. Black Marketing is one of the dreadful drawbacks of lockdown, where people have to spend more to fulfill their basic needs.

Is ‘SOCIAL’ Media turning people ‘ANTI-SOCIAL’?

Social Media! One of the most happening things in people’s life these days. It was originally invented for people to connect, communicate and stay close to their loved ones but these days it has been used by people for the following main purposes: Learning, Interacting, Marketing, and Sharing.

Many of the young influencers have started using it as a means of earning. Companies are making huge amount out of Digital Marketing. Whether social media is good or bad has been a popular debate among both the old and new groups of people. Where some people find it comfortable to open up to some random person on social platforms, the vulnerable sides of these platforms aren’t hidden either. For one person social media can be a lifesaver whereas for the other person it can be just a video, a picture or even a heinous comment to conclude his career.

When on one hand it has made communication and connecting with people easy on the other hand it is also been accused of making people anti-social. Yes, you read that right. ‘SOCIAL’ Media accused of making people ‘ANTI-SOCIAL’; Irony! isn’t it? But what is more ironic is the fact of this being true. 

Our lives depend on these platforms even for the slightest of information. These has been proving itself like an escape from reality; if you don’t want to talk to someone in front of you, then put your heads down into your phone. Regardless of how useful these platforms may be many studies have shown that due to the virtual life people have started losing their confidence to engage with a present life situation. They have discovered a new way of dealing: by posting their experiences on various apps. 

Today not having access to internet is bigger issue to some than not having a dream for oneself. Imagining a situation where we can’t track our social accounts is worse than a nightmare. This has even led to a discovery of many mental disorders and the most interesting one for millennials is the FOMO. Those unknown to this acronym, it means Fear Of Missing Out. At present FOMO is more dangerous than depression!

 But for once let’s consider WHAT IF LIKE THE OTHER STORES IN MARKET, SOCIAL MEDIA TOO SHUTS DOWN AT 6 P.M? What will our life be like in the last quarter of the day? Will people start connecting again at the night parties again or will their FOMO dig into them?

If we take out the pros of this situation, we can list them as follows:

  • More people will show up at the parties and families will be spending more time at the dinner table in the absence of cell phones.
  • People will start discussing real problems with real people.  
  • What people are looking for in the world of social media may find it near them.
  • People may start spending time with their loved ones.
  • The hidden artist of the people will find the time to come out and hence allowing creative juices from the blocked canals of the brain to flow.
  • Out of the extra time, people may start taking care of their bodies more.
  • Even for a brief moment people will start paying attention to their own lives.

Aren’t these different therapies used by psychiatrists?

But this is all just an imagination and one thing which is not, is the need of improvement in living we all need. There is a fake world people have created around them. But we must understand that its not the Likes and comments that are important but the mental peace; which almost every other individual is lacking.  We shall conclude this post with words of a famous German diarist :

“The final forming of a person’s character lies in their own hand”

Anne Frank.

Simple oral hygiene

COVID-19 could pass into people’s lungs from saliva with the virus moving directly from mouth to bloodstream, particularly if individuals are suffering from gum disease, according to new research.

Evidence shows that blood vessels of the lungs, rather than airways, are affected initially with COVID-19 lung disease with high concentrations of the virus in saliva and periodontitis associated with increased risk of death.

The Researchers propose that dental plague accumulation and periodontal inflammation further intensify the likelihood of the SARS -CoV-2 virus reaching the lungs and causing more severe cases of the infection.

Experts say this discovery could make effective oral healthcare a potentially lifesaving action recommending that the public take simple, but effective, daily steps to maintain oral hygiene, such as the build-up plague.

An International team of researchers from the UK, South Africa and the United States today published their findings in the Journal of Oral Medicine and Dental Research. They note emerging evidence that specific ingredients of some cheap and widely available mouthwash products are highly effective at inactivating the SARS-CoV-2 Virus.

Simple oral hygiene measures, including use of these specific mouthwash products, could help lower the risk of transmission of the virus from the mouth to the lungs in those with COVID-19 and help prevent severe instances of the infection.

Initial observations of lung CT scans from patients suffering from COVID-19 lung disease by Dr. Graham Lloyd Jones, a Radiologist, led to a collaboration between medical and dental researchers on the potential entry route into the bloodstream.

Co-author Iain Chapple, Professor of Periodontology at the University of Birmingham, commented:” This model may help us understand why some individuals develop COVID-19 lung disease and others do not. It could also change the way we manage the virus exploring cheap or even free treatments targeted at the mouth and ultimately saving liver.”

“Gum disease makes the gums weak, allowing microorganisms to enter into the blood. Simple measures such as careful toothbrushing and interdental brushing to reduce plague buildup along with specific mouth washers or even saltwater rinsing to reduce gingival inflammation could help to decrease the virus concentration in saliva and help mitigate the development of lung disease and reduce the risk of deterioration to severe COVID-19.”

The research team comprised of experts from Salisbury District Hospital, UK and the Mouth-Body Research Institute , Los Angeles , California and Cape Town, South Africa.

Their new model is based on the mouth providing a breeding ground for the virus to thrive with any breach in oral immune defenses making it easier for the virus to enter the bloodstream. Moving from blood vessels in the gums, the virus would pass through neck and chest veins reaching the heart before being pumped into pulmonary arteries and small vessels in the lung base and periphery.

“Studies are urgent required to further investigate this new model, but n the meantime daily oral hygiene and plague control will not only improve oral health and wellbeing but could also be lifesaving in the context of the pandemic”, added Professor Chapple.

SOME BIRTHDAY WISHES FOR YOUR BEST FRIENDS

Everyone gives birthday wishes. But we always want something special for our best friend’s birthday. So, today I am telling some wishes, the way I had wished my best friend. Firstly, give him/her the best cheesy lines. You can give. And start with the best memory you have or about how you feel when you met for the first time, or the first thing when you think about his or her.

Make him/her believe that as you are were always supportive and encourage till now. You are going to do ahead also. No matter what happens. You will be him/her. Also, it’s the opportunity to thanks him/her, for all the thing they have done for you. Normally, it’s like a quite awkward, when we thank our best friend. They are like, “aaj Kya Hua? Tu theek hai? Khuch hua nahi na?”. we generally don’t appreciate. Tell them,” even there will many challenges coming. But you need to always remember to keep smiling and have a positive outlook on life, at last everything is going to be fine.”

Make them realize how proud you are being, his/her best friend. And you will always by his/her side.

Now, wish them everything you want for them. For example: the way I wished is: “I sincerely wish for you, All the happiness in the world and inner peace that’s warm and true”. In addition, you can add about how wonderful person he/she is.

Due, to lockdown we are apart from our friends. So, I made an Online greeting card. Using website:

https://www.greetingsisland.com/cards

Now, there is problem how to tell this long wish. So, I tried the traditional way, of sending letter though post. But unfortunately, it was also not possible. So, I emailed it.

So, if you want to wish you best friend in a special way. You can use this way.

Not everyone, get a best friend, you are with you every time. Who motivate you ever time, when you want to give up?  And you are lucky to have a friend like this. So, you should always appreciate that.

Thankyou

Importance of Education


As the saying of B.B.King goes like, “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you” education is the most important wealth one can hold in this universe. Education is the only thing that moulds a person into a human. Proper education is very important to every human being. One can be educated anytime despite of one’s age, gender, colour and creed. Education is the process of achieving knowledge, values, skills and moral habits. It determines the quality of an individual’s life because it helps people become better citizens of the society, it lends one a better job and a good lifestyle and most importantly it helps one to know the difference between good and bad. Education provides the stability for life and it makes you self-dependent. Education is important for each and everyone as it improves knowledge, way of living, social and economic status as well to prove Benjamin Franklin’s quote “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. Getting good education is one of the basic rights to every human because education is the only solution for social and personal problems. Education transforms a person completely by changing one’s mind and personality. Education connects you with stories and cultures of one’s everyday life. Education is the first step for people to gain knowledge, critical thinking and empowerment and skills they need to make this world a better place. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” – Nelson Mandela.

RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS ENVIRONMENT

The most common topic, about which each and every one has heard. Each and every person in the world is responsible for the degradation about our mother earth, smaller or in greater way.

Most of you have much aware, about the current condition of our earth. The degradation is reduced, during Covid times. As the industries as shut down. Work from home has increased. As, a result the travelling. The use of petrol and diesel is reduced. As a result, our mother earth is atomically improved.

Have you noticed, that, it’s the human only and only responsible for the degradation? It’s good to be happy after seeing the improvement. But this happiness is temporary. Industries, are going to start again. We will start again to travel and pollute.

So, now it’s our duty to maintain the same improved condition. Not to degrade, it to the worst.

All the citizen are well aware about this. But, we all have only one mindset. We can’t do. This should be done by the government. How we can make a change. We just an individual.

In reality, that doesn’t make any sense.

We can blame the system or the world. We can blame all the people who messed up the world if we want. However, nothing will change, even if we don’t try so hard to blame everything. If we really want to win, be a person who can serve. Stop blaming them and pay then back with your capability.

Let’s start at the individual level. People are going to join. Its are always the duty of government or NGOs or social workers or any group of community. Its our duty. And we should feel the responsibility. It’s our mother earth.

This is the least thing we can do for our earth. Every One, thinks I want this, I want that.

Let’s just stop this, and start thinking. What have I done for mother earth? Instead of polluting, disrespecting. Anything, that I am proud of? What is the purpose of life? is it to become the most selfish person you can be, or a person, who is respected n community. How is responsible for development. Development, doesn’t only mean industrialization or the number of bike and four wheelers you have.

Development of our earth. Development about mindset. Making a batter place not for yourself, but for you children and grandchildren. This type of development is called Sustainable development.

For more read about the sustainable development refer:

Have anyone wonder, what’s the most difficult thing for completion of any task? It is to make a start. The Start takes 99% of our efforts. And to never give up. Let’s do it, for ourselves. Considering our responsibility.

Evolving Education of india

The Evolution in Educational System of India

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”   – Nelson Mandela

 It is said that education is the key to freedom, a power to change the world and make world a better place to live. Education is a continuous process which enriches our mind with the light of knowledge  and provides us the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. There was a time when India had a high illiteracy rate, but slowly with the time things are changing for the better. The Education System of India has developed gradually.

Education during British Rule

The British East India Company planned to educate a small portion of Indians for their own benefit. They wanted some educated Indians who could assist them in their work and also wanted to know the customs and laws better. Various Universities were established by Britishers to follow their purpose. Calcutta Madarsa was established by Warren Hastings for study and teaching of Muslim Law. Jonathan Duncan set up the Sanskrit College for study of Hindu Law and philosophy at Varanasi. Slowly, English was being used as the medium of teaching and learning.

Changes after Independence

Pre-Independence the education was only available for the elites, this scenery was changed Post Independence. Now Education was accessible to large number of society. After Independence India was in a very poor condition, Under-Developed India was the biggest challenge that came forth. A large number of people were illiterate ,though from 18% of literacy rate in 1951 has raised up to 73 % as of 2011.Today, India has very strong and widespread education system which is successfully competing with the world.

Committees set up

  • University Education Committee (1948) : The Commission was inspired  under the leadership of Sarvapalli Radha Krishnan, this committee aimed upon  setting up Universities to provide  education for the development of overall  personality. This Commission also stressed over the purpose of “Women should get good education as men get”.
  • Secondary Education Commission (1952-1953) : It is also known as Mudaliar Commission.The main recommendations of this commission was to provide seperate schools for girls to the places it was needed. It also focused over providing special facility to study of Home Science. Target of this Commission was to the need of training Indians in a democratic way of life.
  • Kothari Committee (1964-1966) :

Kothari Commission is also known as the Indian Education Commission .Daulat Singh Kothari  was the chairman of this committee, it was set up to formulate the general principles and guidelines which was very much needed for the development of the education system. It stressed at providing free and compulsory education to all till the age 14. It focused over the development of languages  specially by  implementing ‘three-language formula’ , and keeping in check with the quality of education being provided.

Educational Awards

Educational policies of India

 National Policy Education (1968)

This was first such kind of policy that came up in 1968.It focused over the culture based curriculum and strengtening the structure of resource support, compulsory education for all children till the age of 14. It also aimed at better training and qualification of teachers. To promote the standardisation of language Hindi was adopted as national language and elementary to higher education was made an integral part of urban and rural India.


Education in Pandemic

Covid-19 has changed the whole chalk and duster dynamic of conventional education system. Lockdown made everything to shut down including schools, colleges and coachings.  where everything came to pause and when there was no light found at the end of the tunnel, E-learning came up and reshaped the educational system of India. Distinctive hike in e-learning have taken place due to pandemic. But to standardise education the government of India should reach out to the students who are unable to afford such technologies and devices for education and learning.

THE DEADLY CORONA VIRUS AND ITS MECHANISM OF INFECTION

The word coronavirus and the virus itself has been hovering around each one of us since 2020. Its been more than a year and the human race, which is regarded as the owner of the most intelligent brain has been unsuccessful in finding a permanent solution to the ongoing global pandemic situation. But, do you know what is this tiny, invisible organism which has proven “deadly” to the most advanced and the most evolved body system on the earth? Yes, you are right, it’s a ‘virus’! So, today let us initiate a step forward to understand the mechanism of infection of the Covid-19 virus.

MECHANISM OF MULTIPLICATION OF COVID-19

As soon as the virus comes in contact with a human cell, the receptors present on the surface of the human cell attach to the virus. ( These Receptors have an affinity towards a specific kind of molecule or a virus). The coronavirus binds to these receptors following the introduction of the viral RNA into the normal human cell. The viral RNA thus undergoes reverse transcription (the process of formation of DNA from RNA) which leads to the incorporation of the viral DNA into the host genome( human cell). The infected human cell undergoes its normal processes and along with its own RNA, it also produces a new viral RNA which finally leads to the further multiplication of the virus which in turn are ready to infect other cells .

This is the complex mechanism of the multiplication of the Covid-19 virus. The virus directly attacks your lung cells and makes the respiratory system completely dysfunctional.

Therefore, it is very crucial to block the entry of the virus itself using masks and avoiding touch of infected surfaces. Remember, the number of people getting infected or the number of deaths are not just numbers, they are the families who spend each minute of their lives in tears with burning hearts. Save yourself, save your family.

SEVEN ISSUES Affecting women and girls during cOvid-19 pandemic

  • Higher rates of Job losses.
  • Reduced financial independence and future prospects.
  • Greater burden of domestic and care work.
  • Increased risk for front-line health workforce.
  • Reduced access to vital health services and exclusion from potential Covid-19 treatments.
  • Spikes in sexual, physical,and domestic violence and exploitation.
  • Increased risk of pregnancy related deaths and teen pregnancies.

Most of the Women and Girls are facing financial dependency, and the main reason for this is the loss of Job during Covid-19 pandemic.

They are also facing lots of burdens of domestic and care work, because all schools and colleges are not operational in offline mode, that’s why all members from young to old are staying in 24*7 in the specified limited area. Caring of all enhance the domestic loads on women and Girls.

Mostly girls are playing the role of nurse in hospitals, so during Covid-19 pandemic , there is a very high risk for them as front-line health workforce.

During Covid-19 pandemic, Women and Girls are not getting all the required health facilities that they need. So there is a reduction to the vital health services for Women and Girls.

According to the reports registered and the survey from lot of Ajencies, Sexual and physical violence increases rapidly during Covid-19 pandemic and also there is a risk in pregnancy related deaths in lack of health facilities .

ONLINE LEARNING

  • The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom.
  • As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.
  • Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.

With this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, some are wondering whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the worldwide education market.

Even before COVID-19, there was already high growth and adoption in education technology, with global edtech platform investments reach more billion2019 and the overall market for online education projected to reach the unexpected result. Whether it may be conferencing, meeting, classes there has been a significant surge in usage since COVID-19.

Online classroom, meanwhile, has been used extensively since mid-February after the Chinese government instructed a online full-time students to resume their studies through online platforms. This resulted in the largest “online movement” in the history of education with approximately 81% of K-12 students, attending classes via K-12 Online School in Wuhan.

Other companies are bolstering capabilities to provide a one-stop shop for teachers and students. For example a Singapore-based collaboration suite initially developed by ByteDance as an internal tool to meet its own exponential growth, began offering teachers and students unlimited video conferencing time, auto-translation capabilities, real-time co-editing of project work, and smart calendar scheduling, amongst other features. To do so quickly and in a time of crisis, Lark ramped up its global server infrastructure and engineering capabilities to ensure reliable connectivity.

Some school districts are forming unique partnerships, to offer local educational broadcasts, with separate channels focused on different ages, and a range of digital options. Media organizations such as the BBC are also powering virtual learning; Bitesize Daily, launched on 20 April, is offering 14 weeks of curriculum-based learning for kids across the UK with celebrities like Manchester City footballer Sergio Aguero teaching some of the content.

There have already been successful transitions amongst many universities. For example, they managed to get more than 5,000 courses online just two weeks into the transition using “DingTalk ZJU”. The Imperial College London started offering a course on the science of coronavirus, which is now the most enrolled class launched in 2020 on Coursera.

Most popular coding language in 2021

We are leaving in the 21st century (The world of technology).Machines are there to help us in our work.Computers are the need of the time and without computers our future may be scary in development terms.Like we men on the earth speak a particular language to express our thoughts to others.Similarly computers have their own language to function.These are called computer languages.A wide number of computer languages is present today but Python is the most popular coding language of the year 2021.

Let’s have a look why Python is the most popular coding language:-

Python is one of the languages that is witnessing incredible growth and popularity year by year. It has become the fastest-growing programming language in the world.

It is also the most popular language for machine learning-https://www.upgrad.com/blog/best-programming-languages-for-machine-learning/

Simplicity:- Python language is incredibly easy to use and learn for new beginners and newcomers. The python language is one of the most accessible programming languages available because it has simplified syntax and not complicated, which gives more emphasis on natural language. Due to its ease of learning and usage, python codes can be easily written and executed much faster than other programming languages.When Guido van Rossum was creating python in the 1980s, he made sure to design it to be a general-purpose language. One of the main reasons for the popularity of python would be its simplicity in syntax so that it could be easily read and understood even by amateur developers also.One can also quickly experiment by changing the code base of python because it is an interpreted language which makes it even more popular among all kinds of developers.

Sources:- Python was created more than 30 years ago, which is a lot of time for any community of programming language to grow and mature adequately to support developers ranging from beginner to expert levels. There are plenty of documentation, guides and Video Tutorials for Python language are available that learner and developer of any skill level or ages can use and receive the support required to enhance their knowledge in python programming language.Many students get introduced to computer science only through Python language, which is the same language used for in-depth research projects.If any programming language lacks developer support or documentation, then they don’t grow much. But python has no such kind of problems because it has been here for a very long time. The python developer community is one of the most incredibly active programming language communities.This means that if somebody has an issue with python language, they can get instant support from developers of all levels ranging from beginner to expert in the community. Getting help on time plays a vital role in the development of the project, which otherwise might cause delays.

Corporate support:- Programming languages grows faster when a corporate sponsor backs it. For example, PHP is backed by Facebook, Java by Oracle and Sun, Visual Basic & C# by Microsoft. Python Programming language is heavily backed by Facebook, Amazon Web Services, and especially Google.Google adopted python language way back in 2006 and have used it for many applications and platforms since then. Lots of Institutional effort and money have been devoted to the training and success of the python language by Google. They have even created a dedicated portal only for python. The list of support tools and documentation keeps on growing for python language in the developers’ world.

Due to its corporate sponsorship and big supportive community of python, python has excellent libraries that you can use to select and save your time and effort on the initial cycle of development. There are also lots of cloud media services that offer cross-platform support through library-like tools, which can be extremely beneficial.Libraries with specific focus are also available like nltk for natural language processing or scikit-learn for machine learning applications.

First choice:- Python language is the first choice for many programmers and students due to the main reason for python being in high demand in the development market. Students and developers always look forward to learning a language that is in high demand. Python is undoubtedly the hottest cake in the market now.Many programmers and data science students are using python language for their development projects. Learning python is one of the important section in data science certification courses. In this way, the python language can provide plenty of fantastic career opportunities for students. Due to the variety of applications of python, one can pursue different career options and will not remain stuck to one.

Flexible:- Python language is so flexible that it gives the developer the chance to try something new. The person who is an expert in python language is not just limited to build similar kinds of things but can also go on to try to make something different than before.Python doesn’t restrict developers from developing any sort of application. This kind of freedom and flexibility by just learning one language is not available in other programming languages

TIPS TO HAVE A POSITIVE ATTITUDE, DURING COVID

Positive attitude. Roughly, everyone knows about what is a positive attitude.

But, let’s see. What it exactly means. A Positive attitude means being hopeful. Able to tackle any situation, no matter how difficult it may be. And most important believe in yourself. Because, the moment we gave up in believing oneself. At that right moment. We lost the battle. This is the time when the persons are tested. And if you have positive attitude, you will win the battle. And that’s what will make you different from others.

By having a positive attitude, you become able to fight and win any types of situation.

Even a 100-year-old can fight and win. And youngster sometimes fail.

And if your Decision is to Give up and call it done, nobody’s goanna blame you. But, if you do so, you will look back on that moment for the rest of your life.

COVID-19 followed by the lockdown is a challenging phase for all of us. But there are residents in the city who know how to keep themselves occupied. While some have started pursuing their hobbies, many see this an opportunity to spend quality time with their family.

Meanwhile, as for the students are confused, depressed how was I going to cover the topics. Will I be able to understand? Or should I just in the light of passing 12th prepare it. What should I do?

 Whatever it is, impact of lockdown will remain with us for my entire life. It doesn’t affect me only the way it seems, as we were locked up in our homes. Of course, we were. but more to our mind set.

And, the most difficult task is to have a positive attitude or to motivate myself, despite of having a negative atmosphere.

To become strong not only physically but also mentally. This lockdown, was not just for a period of time, it builds our entire lifestyle. We started to understand the healthy eating. Importance of yoga. Started writing diary.  Distracting ourself.

The change in mindset, change in viewing the world, the life goals, the opinions. Values for life has been increased forever.

As all are at home, sometimes you would surlily had thoughts, like why I am existing? What is my purpose of life? many many questions. But it’s just natural. And This is the best time to find the answers for these questions.

But you know what, I finally find out the purpose of life is to help others. Make a better place to live. And the happiness you get in return after helping is the best happiness one can ever wish for. Its your time. Utilize it for the things you wanted to do. The thoughts you neglect it. This what build positive attitude.

Change our daily routine, take this time to get an extra hour in bed. Learn a new language. Or cooking. Start meditation, it really helps our body and mind, for having positive attitude. Exercise. Make a time table.  Stay touch with the family and friends digitally.

Feel too been lucky enough to have a family that continues to support you during these uncertain times, helps to motivate you, play with you when I you bored. You can have discussion about many life issues, which you always had though, but never take it seriously, in between the busy schedule.

Covid situations is although very difficult times, for the entire globe, but the best way to tackle is by having a Positive attitude, and build yourself strong.

#bepositive#bestrong#win#staysafe#stayStrong.

Project for Beginners in Computer Vision and Medical Imaging

(AI) and computer science that empowers mechanized frameworks to see, for example to deal with pictures and video in a human-like way to distinguish and recognize articles or districts of significance, anticipate a result or even adjust the picture to an ideal arrangement. Most popular use cases in the CV domain incorporate computerized discernment for autonomous drive, augmented and virtual realities (AR,VR) for reenactments, games, glasses, realty and style or excellence arranged online business. Clinical picture (MI) preparation then again includes substantially more detailed examination of clinical pictures that are regularly grayscale, for example, MRI, CT or X-beam pictures for computerized pathology discovery, an errand that requires a trained expert’s eye for identification. Most popular use cases in the MI domain incorporate mechanized pathology naming, confinement, relationship with treatment or prognostics and customized medicine.

Preceding the approach of deep learning methods, 2D signal handling arrangements, for example, picture sifting, wavelet changes, picture enlistment, trailed by grouping models were intensely applied for arrangement systems. Signal preparing arrangements actually keep on being the top decision for model baselining inferable from their low inertness and high generalizability across informational indexes. Notwithstanding, deep learning arrangements and structures have arisen as another most loved inferable from the start to finish nature that wipes out the requirement for include designing, highlight choice and yield thresholding by and large. In this instructional exercise, we will survey “Top 10” project decisions for fledglings in the fields of CV and MI and furnish models with information and starter code to help independent learning.

CV and MI arrangement structures can be broken down in three fragments: Data, Process and Outcomes. It is essential to consistently imagine the information needed for such arrangement systems to have the organization “{X,Y}”, where X addresses the picture/video information and Y addresses the information target or marks. While normally happening unlabelled pictures and video arrangements (X) can be copious, getting exact names (Y) can be a costly cycle. With the coming of a few information comment stages, for example, , pictures and recordings can be named for each utilization case.

Since profound learning models regularly depend on huge volumes of clarified data to naturally learn highlights for ensuing identification undertakings, the CV and MI spaces frequently experience the ill effects of the “small data challenge”, wherein the quantity of tests accessible for preparing an AI model is a few orders lesser than the quantity of model boundaries.

The “small data challenge” if unaddressed can prompt overfit or underfit models that may not sum up to new concealed test data sets. Accordingly, the way toward planning an answer system for CV and MI areas should consistently incorporate model intricacy requirements, wherein models with less boundaries are commonly liked to forestall model underfitting. At last, the arrangement structure results are examined both subjectively through representation arrangements and quantitatively as far as notable measurements like exactness, review, precision, and F1 or Dice coefficients.

Project : MNIST and Fashion MNIST for Image Classification (Level: Easy)

Objective: To deal with pictures (X) of size [28×28] pixels and order them into one of the 10 yield classifications (Y). For the MNIST informational index, the information pictures are written by hand digits in the reach 0 to 9 [10]. The preparation and test informational indexes contain 60,000 and 10,000 named pictures, separately. Motivated by the manually written digit acknowledgment issue, another informational collection called the Fashion MNIST informational collection was dispatched where the objective is to group pictures (of size [28×28]) into garments classes as appeared.

Techniques: When the information picture is little ([28×28] pixels) and pictures are grayscale, convolutional neural organization (CNN) models, where the quantity of convolutional layers can shift from single to a few layers are reasonable order models. An illustration of MNIST characterization model form utilizing Keras is introduced in the colab record:

MNIST colab file

Illustration of characterization on the Fashion MNIST information:

In the two occurrences, the critical boundaries to tune incorporate a number of layers, dropout, enhancer (Adaptive analyzers liked), learning rate and portion size as found in the code underneath. Since this is a multi-class issue, the ‘softmax’ enactment work is utilized in the last layer to guarantee just 1 yield neuron gets weighted more than the others.

Results: As the quantity of convolutional layers increments from 1–10, the arrangement precision is found to increment too. The MNIST informational index is all concentrated in writing with test correctness in the scope of 96–99%. For the Fashion MNIST informational index, test correctness are commonly in the reach 90–96%.

top 3 programming languages to learn during pandemic

We have all experienced an unprecedented time in the years 2020 and 2021 seems to be pretty similar to the previous year. Covid -19 has hit all of us and all of us are getting used to it. I just hope all the readers are safe and sound and are paying adherence to Covid-19 norms. As a human, this pandemic has offered us an opportunity to learn new skills. And especially people who are looking for recruitment as software engineers have gotten a chance to learn new programming languages.

There are few languages the company is demanding in the current scenario. The top three programming language one should put interest are:

#1 JavaScript

JavaScript is one of the most commonly used out of all programming languages. Almost every frontend application is built by using JavaScript. It is a beginner-friendly language and developers seem to love it. The global market has a high demand for JavaScript developers. Companies such as Google Facebook, Uber, and many more are hiring JavaScript developers. JavaScript is a dominating language it’s unavoidable. If you want to get a good package get your hands-on JavaScript.

#2 Python

Python is liked by developers and beginners due to its simplicity. It is by far the simplest language to learn and write. Python is used in research in the field of Artificial intelligence and Machine learning. Python is widely preferred by Data scientists. Python is used by top companies such as Instagram, Shopify, etc to build their back end. Python is widely used in almost every field. Learning Python can help you be hired by big companies.

#3 Java

Java stands as one of the most widely used languages still in 2021. Every second technology has Java involved in it. Companies like Uber, Twitter, etc used Java as their tech stack. So knowing Java programming can secure you jobs in big companies.

LET’S ALL WALK ALONE YET TOGETHER!

In the valley noted for its echoes, silence talks. Our northern kin has been living in the shadows of the military and a political power struggle that will end in bloodshed regardless of who wins. Kashmiris have become inmates in their own homes, with the majestic peaks serving as a jail. Who are they pleading with? How can they get their message across?

While the mainland watches the programme, they protest, fight, and plead for their rights and freedom. They were alone, as were the Jews, the Blacks, and that one child in the diner with his parents on their phones, despite a population of 1.25 crore.

Like the Black Death in Europe, stories of social alienation abound in our history textbooks. Even so, we can feel its claws tightening around our necks now more than ever. We have a lot of connections. We have the whole planet at our fingertips. Calls and texts have relieved the sweet doves of their duties, allowing us to converse with strangers as well as friends.

In our pockets, we bear a piece of our loved ones. We are surrounded by more than 7 billion people and 8.7 million other animals. And yet, as we sit on our sofa, pizza in one hand and phone in the other, the knowledge slowly sinks in that we are both very lonely, like a slow poison.

In the United States alone, over 60 million people reported feeling lonely (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2018). Globally, youth are becoming increasingly withdrawn and absent-minded, preferring to curl up in a comfortable corner rather than face the harsh realities of life. The Loneliness Epidemic is one of many aspects that have characterised this period. People are becoming more agitated, despondent, inactive, and withdrawn. We rest isolated, unaffected, and unmoved in the midst of the whirlwind of likes and followers.

If the Loneliness Epidemic is not handled, we will be hollowed out. It drives people insane and turns them into savages. It encourages them to engage in drug abuse. As they sit trying to fit bits of garbage into the gaping hole inside, one loses all sense of reason. Loneliness is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, or a black pit, swallowing all life and leaving nothing but death and decay behind. It’s a shame the internet doesn’t bind people’s souls.

Wuhan was put on lockdown when the Coronavirus struck, with all residents being rounded up and placed in isolation or quarantine. China constructed a wall around itself when the Mongols threatened, and an alienation zone when the Chernobyl disaster occurred. Our reaction to the possibility of a global war was to create memes. We conveniently chuckled and japed instead of recognising the ramifications of such a brutal global phenomenon, refusing to be scared into a frenzy. When wars arrive at our doorstep, we slam the door in their faces. But what about the conflict that exists inside you? It is futile to demand caution from those who have never known peace.

Ironically, Mahatma Gandhi, Anne Frank, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, William Shakespeare, Vincent Van Gogh, and Albert Einstein all came from this species. Guess what, visionaries, poets, freedom fighters, scientists, painters, and one teen girl who turned the world upside down? They began on their own. They began in seclusion. They were triumphant in the internal war that was raging. The world was awestruck, inspired, and speechless as a result of their valiant struggle. They were given meaning by a little trust in themselves and a greater love for others. We are, in reality, lonely. We’ve always been that way. And we’ve been battling it for a long time. Sure, it’s a sorry state of affairs for our species. But we’re fighting back, and we’re stronger than ever. We’re in this together. Despite stumbling and fumbling, we persist.

Whistling Wind

Oh Whisting wind
You are the friend of the blue sky
Don’t you hear the song of the night
Oh wind you have touched the rainbow
Won’t you see the magical spring
Oh whistling wind
Let go off your worries
For you could fly aimlessly
Let’s go to see the moonlight, sunshine and snow twilight
And the hill side covered of flowers
Look how moments glide by
See how time flows by
Like water slipping through our fingers
Flowers sway in the wind and fade away
Like the smile on time’s face
Let go off all the worries
Let go off them
Let’s fly fluttering our small wings
Let’s love our lives

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard


Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard was published in 1751. Thomas Gray began writing this poem in 1742 shortly after the death of his close friend Richard West. This Elegy is noteworthy that it mourns the death not of great or famous people but of common men. It’s Gray’s masterpiece and it’s emotional and philosophical at the same time. The beauty of the poem lies in simplicity. Poet brings out the ultimate truth about life and death.
THEMES OF ELEGY WRITTEN IN A COUNTRY CHURCHYARD
 UNIVERSALITY OF DEATH: The central focus of Gray’s elegy is the inevitability of death and how people from different social class are remembered. In this elegy Gray meditates on death as it relates to the rustic commoners who populate the village and the country churchyard. Gray’s opening salvo in this contrast between two vast social classes emphasizes death’s universality; just as the poor and the common people are subjected to death, the paths of the rich and glory lead to grave as well. Death is the ultimate which is blind to mankind’s social class and destruction.
 SOCIAL CLASS AND VALUE: Gray’s meditation on how the wealth and the poor are remembered allows him to explore social class and value. The poem suggests that an individual’s value should not be tied to social class. The poem asks whether the rich and the powerful can be brought back to life by “storied urn” or “animated bust” any more effectively than the poor whose graves are marked by “no trophies”.
 IMPORTANCE OF LOVE: Despite their humble lives the dead enjoyed simple pleasures in life. One of these is the love of their families and friends. A clear image of children greeting his father when he came home from the fields is shown. The lively picture of family is full of joy. Gray identifies family and friends both simple pleasures as the greatest joy in life
 THE QUALITY OF MORTALITY: Within the odes and elegies of gray we find him questioning towards the very concept of morality and what it really means to say when one exists.

Media propaganda

“A rumour is a social cancer: it is difficult to contain and it rots the brains of the masses. However, the real danger is that so many people find rumours enjoyable. That part causes the infection. And in such cases when a rumour is only partially made of truth, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly where the information may have gone wrong. It is passed on and on until some brave soul questions its validity; that brave soul refuses to bite the apple and let the apple eat him. Forced to start from scratch for the sake of purity and truth, that brave soul, figuratively speaking, fully amputates the information in order to protect his personal judgment. In other words, his ignorance is to be valued more than the lie believed to be true.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

Propaganda is a common thing occurring in today’s media. Propaganda is used in order to promote or publicize a point so that in can reach millions and millions of people through media. The main objective of propaganda is to provide false information and thereby manipulate the audience into believing something different from the reality. Propaganda in media commonly occurs in several different flavours.

One of the most popular forms of propaganda is known as bandwagon. It is the power of persuading the customer by showing them what others are doing. This type of propaganda sort of sets an attribution to performing a particular activity to be enjoyable or common to others, making others inadvertently do the same. This kind of manipulation is often done in advertisements for example when people are shown to enjoy a particular kind of chocolate, the viewers of that advertisement tend to buy the same the following day at the supermarket.
“The President in particular is very much a figurehead — he wields no real power whatsoever. He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it. On those criteria Zaphod Beeblebrox is one of the most successful Presidents the Galaxy has ever had — he has already spent two of his ten presidential years in prison for fraud.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
There exist several benefits to propaganda in any subject. One of the core benefits as well as objectives of spreading propaganda is the ability to control the response of people in a particular situation. It is also thought of to be a kind of sublte brainwashing done to people in order to make them believe that they are acting upon their own free will, while they dictate what they should do from behind. Such propaganda in media can manipulate the views of millions of the viewing audience and thus can impact the lives of several negatively. In modern times, the Government has limited the use of propaganda in certain advertisements in order to protect the views of the public. They have imposed a limit upon the amount of propaganda allowed to be used in different kinds of advertisement, marking how much may prove to have a bad impact on people’s views. Such has not occurred in media, and thus, even today, much of the information which we receive from media continue to offer to us biased views. People should work to bring about a change and also be wary of such kinds of practises.
