How to keep yourself Motivated

What is Motivation?
Motivation is what drives you toward your goal, and keeps you going even when you feel like giving up. There exist two types of motivation:
Positive Motivation and Negative Motivation.
Positive Motivation: Positive motivation is when you are passionate about achieving something and you want it desperately.
Negative Motivation: When you do something because of the fear of losing something is negative motivation.
I think Positive Motivation works the best for people.
So motivation essentially is a way to do and achieve something you want. There are times when you don’t feel like waking up early, but when you assign a reason to get up early you do that with excitement.
If you have motivation for anything you want to achieve, you can sustain efforts for much longer. First and foremost
Believe in Yourself. Have the confidence and repeat to yourself that you can achieve anything once you decide and plan.
Set your goal. While you set your goal make sure you are sticking to them.
One goal at a time: Having several goals at a time can sap your energy. So have one goal and be dedicated towards it.
Effort: Even if you feel like giving up and see hurdles in your way which frightens you, just don’t give up keep persisting. Because if give your attention to obstacles means you have been distracted.
Reinforce: Reinforce your goals daily, get your brain used to them. So that it can detect what you want and help you achieve them.

TALKING ABOUT COVID VACCINATION

As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, life as we know it has changed in profound ways. There have been over 140 million incidents and over 3 million deaths worldwide to date. To combat this crisis, scientists from all over the world came together in a once-in-a-lifetime effort. As a result of this global research effort, a number of vaccines have been granted Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)/Listing (EUL). In the United States, the introduction of three vaccines by Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Janssen promises to put an end to what has been a particularly bad year. As of April 14th, 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) has granted EUL to four vaccines: Pfizer-BioNTech, SK BIO AstraZeneca, Janssen (J&J), and Serum Institute of India, with several more awaiting investigation, including Moderna (approval decision pending end of April). At least one country has approved a total of 14 vaccines.

OUR TIMELY RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC WAS INFLUENCED BY ANIMAL RESEARCH

Animal research is more important than ever before, both in fundamental research, such as understanding immune system control, and applied research, where that expertise is applied to the production of cures and other therapeutic strategies. The timescales from bench to bedside are often long in Animal Research, making it difficult to understand the immediate human value of such science. Consider the fact that in the United States, we were able to manufacture three vaccines with an EUA for COVID-19 in less than a year. How was it possible to pull off such a feat? Such rapid progress was possible because of Animal Research into coronaviruses over the last decade, which included Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), as well as decades of prior research into mRNA vaccines, as we wrote at the start of the pandemic.

Vaccines (like all other medications) are generally tested in animals before going through clinical (human) trials to ensure their safety and effectiveness. However, due to the urgency of the COVID-19 hazard, safety and efficacy testing for some of the 110 candidate vaccines and treatments produced (e.g., Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine) was accelerated, and Phase 1 clinical trials began—where the smallest number of human subjects is usually enrolled. That isn’t to suggest that those candidates’ protection and effectiveness weren’t tested in animal models until going into clinical trials. Instead of testing safety and effectiveness prior to clinical trials, animals were tested concurrently with human trials.

Death

Where Life had no value Death had its own price!!

Death is something which is unbearable and unacceptable. The truth about death is the suffering is not for the person who dies but for the people who loved the person dearly. The very word death skips a heartbeat. Losing someone whom we love the most is the most painful thing in this life. One will never know which moment the heart beat stops. Life holds many twists and turns and one such thing in life is death. The situation is really pathetic and the hardest part is holding on to their memories. You can neither remember nor forget, all those moments you laughed will be replaced with tears, all those unfulfilled promises still breaks you more and a part of your heart really longs for the person to return back with some magic elements. Sometimes all that you hold might be only memories and even after years pass the feelings never fade away. People might say time heals and memories fade, but neither time heals nor memories fade. Even after decades the pain will be fresh and new as if everything happened the day before. Heart will be filled with void when you look at that special person from your heart is resting beneath. Sometimes we may feel “like rise up and say that you made a drama” but then when reality strikes it’s even more painful. This is the only problem that has no solution and a wound that can never be healed. The life that was lived by the person will be praised in the funeral and burial sermons but still all that we want is the person to return back. Most of the times R.I.P doesn’t mean Rest in Peace but it mean Return if Possible, the impossible wish made by the loved ones. Some believe in next life and some believe in eternity but nothing can bring them back in this life is the miserable truth that is hard to accept but a mandatory fate for every life. Every person in this world knows that each of us should die someday, but none knew which day it is and that is the boon and bane of life.

C Vs Python

C: C is a structured, mid-level, broadly useful programming language that was created at Bell Laboratories between 1972-73 by Dennis Ritchie. It worked as an establishment for building up the UNIX working framework. Being a mid-level language, C lacks the inherent functions that are characteristic of undeniable level dialects, however it gives all the structure blocks that engineers need. C follows the structure-arranged approach, that is, the hierarchical approach that sections a program into more modest functions. 

What makes C one of a kind is that it is enhanced for low-level memory the board assignments that were recently written in Assembly language (the code follows the hexadecimal organization that can directly access memory locations).This is precisely why C is utilized in building OS architectures. Indeed, even today, both UNIX and Linux subsidiaries are vigorously subject to C for some functions. 

Python: Python is a universally useful, undeniable level programming language that was created by Guido Rossum in 1989. What makes Python astonishing is its straightforward linguistic structure that is practically like the English language and dynamic composing capability. The direct punctuation takes into consideration simple code comprehensibility. 

Likewise, being a deciphered language, Python is an ideal language for scripting and quick application improvement on most stages and is so well known with the engineers. Scripting dialects incorporate both interactive and dynamic functionalities by means of electronic applications.

CPython
IntroductionC is a general-purpose, procedural computer programming language.Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language.
SpeedCompiled programs execute faster as compared to interpreted programs.Interpreted programs execute slower as compared to compiled programs.
UsageProgram syntax is harder than Python.It is easier to write a code in Python as the number of lines is less comparatively.
Declaration of variablesIn C, the type of a variable must be declared when it is created, and only values of that type must be assigned to it.There is no need to declare the type of variable. Variables are untyped in Python. A given variable can be stuck on values of different types at different times during the program execution
Error DebuggingIn C, error debugging is difficult as it is a compiler dependent language. This means that it takes the entire source code, compiles it and then shows all the errors.Error debugging is simple. This means it takes only one in instruction at a time and compiles and executes simultaneously. Errors are shown instantly and the execution is stopped, at that instruction.
Function renaming mechanismC does not support function renaming mechanism. This means the same function cannot be used by two different names.Supports function renaming mechanism i.e, the same function can be used by two different names.
ComplexityThe syntax of a C program is harder than Python.Syntax of Python programs is easy to learn, write and read.
Memory-management
In C, the Programmer has to do memory management on their own.
Python uses an automatic garbage collector for memory management.
ApplicationsC is generally used for hardware related applications.Python is a General-Purpose programming language.
Built-in functionsC has a limited number of built-in functions.Python has a large library of built-in functions.
Implementing Data StructuresImplementing data structures requires its functions to be explicitly implementedGives ease of implementing data structures with built-in insert, append functions.
PointersPointers are available in C.No pointers functionality available in Python.

An extreme inquiry emerges with regards to when to utilize Python and when to utilize C. C versus Python dialects are comparative yet have many key differences. These dialects are valuable dialects to create different applications. The difference among C and Python is that Python is a multi-worldview language and C is a structured programming language. Python is a universally useful language that is utilized for machine learning, regular language processing, web advancement and some more. C is mostly utilized for equipment related application advancement such as working frameworks, network drivers. In the present competitive market, it isn’t sufficient to dominate just one programming language. To be an adaptable and competent developer, you need to dominate different dialects.

Microcontroller vs Microprocessor

Regularly a MCU utilizes on-chip inserted Flash memory in which to store and execute its program. Putting away the program this way implies the MCU having a more limited beginning up period and executing code rapidly. The solitary down to earth impediment to utilizing inserted memory is that the complete accessible memory space is limited. Most Flash MCU gadgets accessible have a limit of 2 Mbytes of Program memory. This may end up being a restricting element, contingent upon the application.

MPUs don’t have memory requirements similarly. They utilize outer memory to give programs and information stockpiling. The program is normally put away in non-unstable memory, like NAND or sequential Flash. At fire up, this is stacked into an outside DRAM and execution initiates. This implies the MPU won’t be going as fast as a MCU however the measure of DRAM and NVM you can associate with the processor is in the scope of many Mbytes and even Gbytes for NAND. 

Another distinction is power. By installing its own force supply, a MCU needs only one single voltage power rail. By examination, a MPU requires a few contrast voltage rails for center, DDR and so forth The engineer needs to provide food for this with extra force ICs/converters ready.

From the application point of view, a few parts of the plan determination may drive gadget choice especially. For instance, is the quantity of fringe interface channels required more than can be provided food for by a MCU? Or then again, does the showcasing particular specify a UI ability that won’t be conceivable with a MCU in light of the fact that it doesn’t contain sufficient memory on-chip or has the necessary presentation

While leaving on the principal plan and realizing that, it is almost certain there will be numerous item varieties. Around there, it is entirely conceivable a stage based plan approach will be liked. This would specify more “headroom” regarding handling force and interface abilities to oblige future element updates.

For instance, an ARM Cortex-M4-based microcontroller, for example, Atmel’s SAM4 MCU is appraised at 150 DMIPS. Though an ARM Cortex-A5 application processor (MPU, for example, Atmel’s SAMA5D3 can convey up to 850 DMIPS. One method of assessing the DMIPS required is by taking a gander at the exhibition hungry pieces of the application. 

Running a full working framework (OS), like Linux, Android or Windows CE, for your application would request in any event 300–400 DMIPS. For some applications, a clear RTOS may get the job done and a stipend of 50 DMIPS would be above and beyond. Utilizing a RTOS additionally has the advantage that it requires little memory space; a part of only a couple kB being normal. Lamentably, a full OS requests a memory the executives unit (MMU) to run; this thus indicates the sort of processor center to be utilized and require more processor ability.

For running applications that are more calculating and escalated enough, DMIPS recompense should be saved on top of any OS and other correspondence and control undertakings. The more numeric-based the application, the almost certain a MPU is required. 

The (UI) can be a genuine thought regardless of the point of the application. As customers, we have gotten comfortable and alright with utilizing beautiful and natural graphical UIs. Mechanical applications are progressively utilizing this technique for administrator cooperation. The working climate, nonetheless, can restrict the utilization of this one. For the UI there are various components.

Right off the bat, is the preparing overhead required? An overhead of 80–100 DMIPS may do the trick for a UI library like Qt, since it is generally utilized on top of Linux. The subsequent factor is to do with the intricacy of the UI. Higher handling force and memory is required for additional movements, impacts, sight and sound substance and more changes applied to the picture to be shown. Furthermore, these prerequisites increase with the goal, that is the reason for applications intended to be UI driven a MPU is bound to suit. 

Then again, a less difficult UI with pseudo-static pictures on a lower goal screen can be tended to by a MCU. Another contention for the MPU is that the for the most part come furnished with an installed TFT LCD regulator. Not very many MCUs have this ability. The TFT LCD regulator and some other outside driver segments must be added remotely. In this way, while conceivable to accomplish with a MCU, the designer needs to take a gander at the generally BOM.

ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING

One of the most important steps you can take toward achieving your greatest potential in life is to learn to monitor your attitude and its impact on your work performance, relationships and everyone around you.

What attitude did you bring into this article? Often, this brings puzzled looks. In truth, people generally do not have a high level of attitude awareness . They will know if they are hungry or if their feet hurt, but they usually do not have a good handle on their attitude. That is a mistake because attitude is everything. It governs the way you perceive the world and the way the world perceives you.

We all have a choice . We can choose an inner dialogue of self-encouragement and self- motivation or we can choose one of self-defeat and self-pity. It is a power we all have. Each of us encounters hard times, hurt feelings, heartache and physical and emotional pain. The key is to realize it is not what happens to you that matters; it is how you choose to respond.

Your mind is a computer that can be programmed. You can choose whether the software installed is productive or unproductive. Your inner dialogue is the software that programs your attitude, which determines how you present yourself to the world around you. You have control over the programming. Whatever you put into it is reflected in what comes out.

Many of us have behavior patterns today that were programmed into our brains at a very tender age. The information that was recorded by our brain could have been completely inaccurate or cruel. The sad reality of life is that we will continue to hear negative information, but we do not have to program it into our brain.

The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own inner voice, your self-critic. It can work for or against you, depending on the messages you allow . It can be optimistic or pessimistic. It can wear you down or cheer you on. You control the sender and the receiver, but only if you consciously take responsibility for and control over your inner conversation.

Habitual bad attitudes are often the product of past experiences and events. Common causes include low self-esteem, stress, fear, resentment, anger and an inability to handle change. It takes serious work to examine the roots of a harmful attitude, but the rewards of ridding ourselves of this heavy baggage can last a lifetime.

MIRROR MIRROR -A GREAT REWARD

As humans, we each have a powerful ability to easily recognize our own face. But now, researchers from Japan have uncovered new information about how our cognitive systems enable us to distinguish our own face from those of others, even when the information is presented subliminally.

In a study published this month in Cerebral Cortex, researchers from Osaka University have revealed that a central element of the dopamine reward pathway in the brain was activated when participants were subliminally shown images of their face. This provides new clues regarding the underlying processes of the brain involved in self-facial recognition.

When we are exposed to a subliminal image of our face–meaning we are not fully aware of it–many brain regions are activated in addition to those that process face information. Furthermore, our brain responds differently to supraliminal (conscious) and subliminal (subconscious) images of our face compared to faces of others. However, whether we use the same or different neural networks to process subliminal versus supraliminal faces has not been established something the researchers at Osaka University aimed to address this research.

“We are better at recognizing our own face compared to faces of others, even when the information is delivered subliminally”, says lead author of the study Chisa Ota. “However, little is known about whether this advantage involves the same brain or different areas that are activated by supraliminal presentation of our face.”

To address this, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine the differences between brain activity elicited by subliminally presented images of the faces of participants and faces of others. They also examined brain activation produced by subliminally presented images of faces with modified features.

“The results provided us with new insights regrading the neural mechanisms of the self-face advantage”, explains Tamami Nakano , senior author. ” We found that activation in the ventral tegmental area, which is a central component of the dopamine reward pathway, was stronger for subliminal presentations of the participant’s face compared with faces of others”.

Instead, subliminal presentation of the faces of others induced activation in the amygdala of the brain, which is known to respond to unfamiliar information. This difference in brain responses to the face of the participant or those of others was consistent even when the faces were modified, as long as the shapes of the facial features were retained.

“Our findings indicate that the dopamine reward pathway is involved in enhanced processing of one’s own face even when the information is subliminal”, says Tamami Nakano. “Furthermore , discrimination of one’s own face from those of others appear to rely on the information of facial parts.”

These findings advance the understanding of the neural mechanisms of subliminal self-facial processing. Given that the dopamine reward pathway is automatically involved in unconscious self-facial processing this research may have applications in efforts to unconsciously manipulate motivation.

Face is the index of mind.

What Role Do Cookies and Privacy Policies Play in Data Breach? (Part-3)

GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION

According to the General Data Protection Regulation, there will be only one way for all businesses operating in Europe to comply with all data protection regulations starting in May 2018.

Stronger rules on data protection mean,

  • Individuals have more influence over their personal information.
  • A level playing field benefits companies.

The GDPR establishes seven guidelines for the lawful processing of personal data. The collection, arrangement, structuring, storage, modification, consultation, usage, contact, mixture, limitation, erasure, or destruction of personal data are all examples of processing. As a result, the seven values are as follows:

  1. Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency
  2. Purpose limitation
  3. Data minimization
  4. Accuracy
  5. Storage limitation
  6. Integrity and confidentiality(security)
  7. Accountability

Principles are the center of the GDPR; they guide regulations and compliant processing.

Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) suggested a realistic alternative that is similar to this (GDPR). It would only happen if a technical company creates software that does not monitor users by default and offers them the option to “opt-out.” Instead, the consumer could willingly “opt-in” to be monitored in order to receive targeted advertising. As a result, privacy is the default setting. A mishmash of mentioned methods with GDPR directives may also be a viable solution. Even if users “opt in” for surveillance, they should be given the name and contact information for the organisation that is tracking them, as well as the option to “opt out.” A price for the users’ personal data, if they ask for it, may be a design that protects the user’s privacy.

CONCLUSION

Cookies allow others to see your information. When people Google how to take data from cookies, they will learn how to do so. Several videos and websites will assist in the extraction of knowledge. People sometimes disregard privacy policies because they are lengthy. Many applications will take advantage of it because people embrace it without even looking at it. Normal people can protect themselves from hackers by using private servers like FreedomBox. In Europe, there are also rules that assist citizens in gaining control of their data and preventing it from being leaked. We should be protected from these dangers, and we should not allow strangers into our private lives without our permission.

Indian Education System

Education system is India is degrading.  Because there are many things missing in the Indian education system

India has the unfired system of assessment. In simples’ words the ‘weak student’ AND ‘bright student’. Th Indian the marks have the more importance than the knowledge and the skills. And the uncountable comparisons about the marks by the parents.  Every Student have to work in accordance of their parents.  

At the age of 18, you have to choose Science, Commerce or Medical.  you have to decide your future. To be honest, you actually cannot decide your future as in India you don’t have that right and if you try to, you are going against your parents. You must know that going against your parents’ will is almost regarded as a crime in India.

The primary focus of the college is only on theory, attendance and 100 pages of   Assignments completion.  Practical classes are considered as time pass.

In India, the degree is regarded the most powerful tool, rather than skill.

So, if you want to succeed, you have to do things, on your own. Learn skills all your own. Apart from copying assignments and getting 200% attendance.

Relation between teacher and student

One of the most pure and deeply inspirational relationship is of teacher-student relation.


 Everyone has a favourite teacher. What causes us to still cherish these relationships and harbour powerful sentiments of respect and affection (and sometimes a shuddering dislike) for those individuals who were responsible for mentoring us? The answer is quite simple. It’s how the student teacher relationships were developed, nurtured, and given space to evolve.

The ability to forge a positive, powerful relationship between a student and teacher may seem like a difficult task first but can be easily accomplished by creating a strong learning environment. The learning is not a one-way process alone; an effective learning environment is where all individuals involved learn from each other. While students learn a particular subject from a teacher, the teacher learns how to improve her teaching skills and make the lessons more interesting by gaining insights from the students. Thus, both parties learn from each other.

Many qualities define a positive relationship and pave ways on how to create powerful student teacher relationships. These can be seen to include good communication, a safe learning environment and mutual respect, a positive and patient attitude, student equality and timely praise. The teacher who becomes the ‘favourite’ is one who possesses these in good measure.

Not all students are alike. While some quickly grasp the concepts taught and take an active part in the learning process, others may be shy, uninterested or even downright disruptive. This puts additional responsibility on a teacher to create such an atmosphere which is conducive to an interesting learning process. It’s the teachers who are like sculptors and students, the soft clay, ready to be moulded into a master piece. As Aristotle once said “those who educate children well are more to be honoured than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.”

Social Media and Mental Health

Social media is a tool to build networks, share public content, put forth your voice, etc. People, especially youth is on social apps to influence, get influenced, be in touch with friends, and get a day to day updates of events taking place in the world. Social media can boost your confidence but can get you to feel low in no time.

Ways how social media takes over your mental health:

  1. Social media and depression. As every coin has two sides, Social media too can bring people together and can break them by creating a rift, online differences, trolling, disagreement, etc. It can make people feel alone and isolated.
  2. Social media and Confidence. When people see posts of fashion influencers, models, or their friends who upload pictures regularly or friends who are enjoying at some exquisite destinations we feel inadequate or envious. And sometimes have self-doubts about our body and appearances. Social media uplifts the feeling of insecurity among people.
  3. FOMO.FOMO stands for fear of missing out, this happens when you feel you are missing something important and other people are having a better life than you.
  4. Attention seeker. Social media makes you crave attention from people. Constantly, uploading selfies, stories to seek the attention of the followers and gain followers.
  5. A huge distraction. Social media can snatch your precious time which you could have spent on something productive but here you are scrolling down the apps.

Love and Life

The greatest feeling in this earth is to love and to be loved

Somewhere between birth and death each one of us goes on a journey called life. No one knows when the journey ends. But all that we care while we live in this world is about what? Each one holds different dreams and goals to achieve. Every person in this world is unique in some or the other way. Life is unpredictable. I don’t know my life span. But I can do something that is worth in this lifetime. What is worth? Each one will have different answers but mine is to love the people who love me. Not everybody in this world can love you, because we live in a world where betrayal is the most common suffering many undergoes. “The beauty is unless and until it is done by your so called trust worthy it’s not called as betrayal”, there are people who suffer with heart breaks more than heart attacks. Love is something that can be built but cannot be broken, and if it’s broken then there is no love. Break up can never be in love but it can be in a relationship where there is no love. Sometimes everything seems to be imperfect and it feels like “When everything is fake why the pain alone is real”, but the thing is not everything is fake but the reality is that hurts us. What made you smile was unreal and what breaks you later is the reality. When there is true love and affection one dare not hurt you, but when the love fades they don’t care about how you feel. Life is only once and LIVE just don’t exist. “One can never hate love and one can never love hate” and none can oppose this. Give love to people as much as you can. May be that can save a billion people’s lives. Earn more love than any other thing in this world because tears are the final valuable gifts that every human being takes back. To hate a person is easy and to love a person is hard ’cause in love you should have trust and love. Love the very word is just simple which fails to be defined by words. It’s a feeling that can never be felt by the ones who don’t treasure it. Love with all your heart and you’ll get back your reward for it. All that people need is love and to be loved and that is the greatest comfort one can have in times of difficulties. Love yourself and love your loved ones too to lead a happy and peaceful life.

Arduino vs Raspberry Pi

They look pretty comparable, at a first look. Chips, connectors, openings for screws. Ends up, they are extremely unique. Beginning from the core. Arduino comes with a 8-bit microcontroller. The Raspberry Pi comes with a 64-bit microprocessor. 

Arduino has 2 Kilobytes of RAM. Raspberry Pi has 1GB of RAM. (500,000x more) As far as I/O, Arduino has a USB-B port that can be utilized by a computer to move new projects to run, a force input and a bunch of I/O pins. 

A Raspberry Pi is much more sophisticated in such manner, having a Video yield, a HDMI port, a SD card port, an Audio jack, CSI camera port, DSI show port, 4 USB 2.0 ports which you can use to attach USB devices, a Gigabit Ethernet jack, Wireless LAN, Bluetooth 4.2 and I/O pins (GPIO) too. Bunches of things. 

Arduino has no working framework. It can just run programs that were compiled for the Arduino stage, which generally implies programs written in C++. Raspberry Pi runs a working framework, which is generally Linux. It’s a little computer, while Arduino is much more basic.

Arduino is ideal to be modified utilizing C++ and its “Arduino language” which is only C++ with some conveniences that make it simple for amateurs to begin with. 

Anyway you are not restricted to it. In the event that you can live with the constraints of having the Arduino attached to the USB port of the computer, you can run Node.js code on it utilizing the Johnny Five project, which is really cool. There are comparable instruments for different dialects, as pyserial and Gobot. 

As I would see it Arduino is best when you need to compile a program for it, attach a battery or a force connector and put it some place to run, and mess with sensors and other nice stuff that interfaces with this present reality. 

You don’t need to stress over anything as there isn’t anything else than your program running on the Arduino. It doesn’t have an organization (I’m discussing the Uno) out of the container. 

A Raspberry Pi is more similar to a little computer without a screen, which you program utilizing more conventional devices. 

I would utilize an Arduino to control my self-watering plants or track the temperature outside, or power some home robotization stuff, yet I would utilize a Raspberry Pi as a retro gaming stage or a web worker.

 

Arduino

Allow us to begin with Arduino. Arduino was created by Massimo Banzi Et Al. in Ivrea, Italy. Arduino is a straightforward gadgets prototyping device with open-source equipment and programming. Arduino is essentially a Microcontroller improvement board utilizing which you can Blink LEDs, acknowledge contributions from Buttons, read information from Sensors, control Motors and numerous other “Microcontroller” related errands.

The most famous Arduino board is the Arduino UNO, which depends on the ATmega328P Microcontroller from Atmel (presently Microchip). Coming to the product side of Arduino, all Arduino sheets can be modified in C and C++ programming dialects utilizing a special programming called Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE consists of all the toolchains for altering source code, compiling and programming the Microcontroller on the Arduino board. 

In the event that you have past experience with Microcontrollers like 8051, Atmel or PIC Microcontrollers, at that point you presumably understand the long process of creating applications utilizing these microcontrollers. In the event that you are not comfortable, let us see the process momentarily. 

To begin with, you need to compose the application programming (the primary source code) in a dedicated IDE (like Keil, Atmel Studio or PIC’s MPLAB IDE). At that point you need to compile the code and produce the double record as a .hex document. Presently utilizing a special equipment called “Developer”, you need to transfer the hex document to the objective microcontroller utilizing a software engineer programming. 

Arduino worked on this process with attachment and-play style quick programming. Utilizing a solitary programming (the Arduino IDE), you can compose the code, compile it and transfer it to the Microcontroller. You likewise needn’t bother with discrete equipment for transferring the program. Basically module the Arduino board to a Computer through USB Port, hit the transfer button, et presto, the Microcontroller on Arduino board is prepared to finish its errands. 

Another significant thing about Arduino is it is open-source. This implies the plan records and the source code for programming and libraries are unreservedly accessible. You can utilize the equipment configuration records as a reference and basically make your own Arduino board.

 

 

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi was created by Eben Upton at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom to educate and improve programming abilities of understudies in developing nations. While Arduino is a Microcontroller based advancement board, the Raspberry Pi is a Microprocessor (normally an ARM Cortex A Series) based board that goes about as a PC. 

You can associate a few peripherals like a Monitor (through HDMI or AV Port), Mouse and Keyboard (through USB), interface with web (through Ethernet or Wi-Fi), add a Camera (through the devoted Camera Interface), actually as we do to our personal computer.

Since the whole Computer (the Processor, RAM, Storage, Graphics, Connectors, etc.) is perched on a solitary Printed Circuit Board, the Raspberry Pi (and other comparable sheets) are called Single Board Computers or SBC. 

As Raspberry Pi is basically a full computer, it can run an Operating System. The Raspberry Pi Foundation, the association which is answerable for planning and developing Raspberry Pi SBC, likewise gives a Debian based Linux Distribution called the Raspberry Pi OS (recently known as the Raspbian OS). 

Another significant thing about Raspberry Pi is, as it is a Linux based Computer, you can create programming utilizing a few Programming Languages like C, C++, Python, Java, HTML, etc. 

Despite its unique goals, which is to advance programming (like Python and Scratch Programming Languages) in schools, the first Raspberry Pi SBC became incredibly famous among DIY manufacturers, specialists and fans for developing a few applications like Robotics, Weather Stations, Camera based security frameworks etc. 

Because of its success and notoriety, the Raspberry Pi Foundation is continuously refreshing and delivering new forms of Raspberry Pi with the most recent one being the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. 

The equipment configuration records and the firmware of Raspberry Pi are not open-source.

Many technologically advanced people, too, simply click-past excruciatingly long and complicated privacy policies because they see no other choice. A price for the users’ personal data, if they ask for it, may be a design in which the user’s privacy is prioritised.

Every app has a lengthy policy known as the privacy policy, which is something we should pay attention to. We support the policy without ever reading it. But, do we really need the location service for a simple gaming app? Even the well-known WPS Office app asks for location permission? Or does an app like Hotstar need microphone permission?

“It uses the microphone on your smartphone to record audio samples (including ambient sounds) and generate encrypted fingerprint files of those audio samples in real-time,” according to Hotstar’s privacy policy. To recognise and recognise your television viewing habits, the fingerprint files are compared to a database of documented fingerprints of television networks and television content.” Even if this were true, the microphone might be used to record private audio clips or gain access to our personal information.

Another question that arises is, “Which operating system is more stable, IOS or ANDROID?” When we examine Apple’s operating system, we will see that it is a closed system. It does not make its source code available to software developers, and Apple device owners are unable to change it. Hackers would have a tough time finding any bugs in IOS-powered devices as a result of this. Android smartphones, on the other hand, have open-source code, allowing owners to tinker with the device’s operating system. For its software, it grants all permissions to the app developers.

WAYS TO BE SAFE

There are a variety of ways that people can protect themselves from such dangers. One such example is ‘FreedomBox.’

FreedomBox is a private server system that allows everyone to host their own internet services, such as a VPN, a personal website, file sharing, secure messengers, a VoIP server, a Meta search engine, and more. It’s made to keep you safe. By putting you in charge of your online operation and records, FreedomBox instils liberty in the internet.

Other simple tips by which we can stay safe from cookies are:

  • Clean or delete cookies: The first and most basic move is to clear your browsing history and uninstall all cookies after each session. Cookies can be deleted and all temporary internet files can be cleared with software like SecureClean.
  • Modifying Browser settings: If you have any knowledge about cookies, you can adjust your browser settings accordingly. Safari and Firefox allow you to have more control over your data.
  • Use Add-Ons: Add-Ons allow us to handle cookies more precisely and choose who we want to share our online data with.
  • Share with moderation: To be secure, don’t use personal information where cookies can be used.
  • Protect: Using some anti-virus programme is the safest way to protect yourself.

Realization

                          

It was bit salty

Later I found it faulty

It was sweet when started

Then there were no such hatred

And it became sour

By the behaviour of war

Before it went toxic

I became anoxic

Never expected a tasteless end

Sometimes it becomes a corner of bent

Ending up with bitter taste

I am accepting this phase

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.

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…

Pets especially dogs and cats can attenuate your depression, loneliness and ease your stress. Also taking them for a walk can improve your cardiovascular health.

Being a dog owner one might know how unconditional their love is. The feeling of snuggling a furry friend can’t be explained in words.

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
