Energy indisputably a resource on which humanity has been dependent. Without energy, we cannot find or administer medicine to cure disease, prepare food, purify water, drive our cars etc. the current energy need is 15TW and this number is projected to increase.in now a days we are more reliable on fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are also a large source pollution and also a non-renewable source of energy. As solar energy is a renewable source of energy so we are likely to shift our energy consumption from the non-renewable forms to the renewable forms.

Hydroelectricity is electricity generated through generators driven by water movement. It generally consists of barrier blocking a river, making a reservoir, or gathering water pumped in it. The pressure behind a barrel forces down the water pipes to a turbine, if the water is released. This causes the turbine to turn, turning the power generator.

Roughly one sixth of the world’s electricity comes from this renewable energy method. It generates less pollution than steam engine fires. This way, most power is available in some places such as Norway and Québec.

Most hydropower stations have a water tank, a gate or a valve to check the water flow out of the tank and an outlet or place where the water flows downward. Just before water pours down a dam or flows through a hill, water gains potential energy. As water flows downhill, the potential energy is transformed into film energy. The waste water can be used to generate electricity from a turbine ‘s blades and distributed to customers of the power plant.

Two types of hydropower plants are available, the most common of which is a impoundment facility. A dam is used to monitor the water flow stored in a pool or reservoir in the impoundment facility. Water is released from the dam if more energy is needed. After water is released, gravity moves and the water travels through the turbine downwards. When the turbine blades spin, a generator is powered.

A diversion facility is another form of hydroelectric power plant. This kind of plant is peculiar because it is not dam-free. It uses a variety of channels instead for the flow of water from the river to the generator turbines.

The ability to function as a peak power plant is an significant benefit of hydroelectric dams. The dam only holds more water as demand for electricity falls. The water stored in a storage tank can be released, so energy can be produced quickly (let go) when needed. Some hydro generators use pumped energy storage (often in the night) to store excess energy, pumping water into a tank by electricity. When demand rises, electricity can be produced. Hydropower is also a good fit for lower intermittent power sources. This versatility. Hydroelectricity can be generated when the wind does not blow or the sun is not bright.

The construction of large water dams will harm the ecosystem. In 1983, in response to a massive public outrage, the Australian government prevented Tasmania from creating a dam on the Gordon River. The dam was overflowing the river Franklin. The Chinese Three Gorges Dam is the largest hydropower projects in the world and the world’s biggest power plant. The barracks flooded an immense city, needing a population of 1.2 million. Scientists concern themselves with many of the dam concerns such as noise, silt and the possibility of the dam breaking.

How to cope with depression 
“depression is an invisible killer”

“Sucide is not a solution”

What happened with sushant singh rajput was a shock for all of us!! And today I want to share one more shocking fact with you.
According to World Health Organization more than 264 millon people suffer from depression all over the world,in the age groupof 15-30 suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death.Its very easy to say that “suicide is not a solution” but the fact is acccording to WHO every year more than 80,000 people commit suicide and yet we feel depression and sadness are the same.

“3 myths about depression”

1. Sadness is an adjustment disorder:
   Sadness is different from depression,sadness is something we feel when we are not comfortable. 
   Example-After living in a city for 10 years,when you shift to another city,you leave your comfort zone behind .Because you come out of your comfort zone ,you take    time to adjust to your circumstances.

2. Depression is extreme sadness:
   No,there is a difference in grief,sadness and depression.
   Grief is the direct response to loss but over a period of time grief reduces because you move on.
   An example of grief is ,the feeling that you have after you lose someone,the death of a relative.

3. depression need not have any logical reason:
   How many people you have around you, how wealthy you are,how close you are to your family,or how much your previous film earned.depression doesn’t have to be connected to any of this.
   if you are a dancer and if dancing is your passion and suddenly one day you lose this passion,you feel you have lost all your energy and this feeling lasts for a very long time then maybe you are depressed.

What is depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.It affects your feeling,thinking and behavior and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problem.One may have trouble doing normal day to day activity and something you may feel as if life isn’t worth living.

People  consider depression as a sign of weakness but its not true.Just like other disease depression can have many different causes.One of the reason can be chemical imbalance in your brain.Many people think that people act depressed just because they want attention but its the other way around.Many people are depressed but they act happy all the time.

Positive quotes or self help books don’t cure depression. If any of your friends is seeing a therapist then please don’t judge instead,extend your support.Even being there ,being with them counts.

It’s easy to say suicide is not a solution on social media ,it’s equally easy to start a conversation on mental health because the more we talk about mental health ,the more people will understand that talking about mental health is not weakness . The more we talk about it ,the more people will understand the importance of meditation . The more we talk about it ,the more people will stop bullying and spreading hatred ,because a lot of student commit suicide and this news does not even reach us.

 So lets create an environment thats not just us but even a SUSHANT says that  suicide is not a solution!! 

If you’re a curious traveler, adventure lover, history buff, or are simply fascinated by black magic, then Mayong, where silence and mystery lurk all around and which is often regarded as the seat of Black Magic in India is surely awaiting you.
This village, located on the banks of Brahmaputra in Morigaon district of Assam, is known as the land of the occult. While some villages pass down the skills of farming or craftsmanship to the next generation, the elders of Mayong pass down sorcery and magic to the town’s youth.
Over a hundred wizards and witch doctors reside here, locally known as bej/bez or Oja. No stone or previously dormant powers are the sources of their talents, as opposed to what the movie would have us believe. These skills have supposedly tumbled down the family tree as earlier descendants pass on the craft.

There are many stories about how this place got its name. According to the locals, the place got its name from the Sanskrit word ‘Maya’, which means illusion. Many people also believe that earlier people from the Maibong clan used to live in this area and the place might have got its name from them. While some other people claim that the place is a part of a Goddess called ‘Maa-er-ongo’. The name comes from this term.

Mayong has been India’s center for witchcraft and wizardry since its inception many centuries ago. In the early days of Mayong, legend has it, if you chanted “Uran Mantra” you would be able to fly through the air and land directly beside your true love.
In this area, people who know the black arts use to serve the people by using their magic to treat the diseases. These people not only know magic but they know quite a bit about Ayurveda as well.
This village in Assam has solutions to all your problems.
Lost something? The tantric will put a flower in a metal bowl, which starts moving by itself and moves directly to the place where the stolen item is kept

Local folklore and ancient scriptures such as the Mahabharata validate Mayong’s connection with black magic, and archaeological findings of weapons and sharp objects suggest human sacrifices as well.
Stories and accounts of people vanishing, locals being converted into animals, beasts being miraculously tamed, and fatal diseases being cured have been long associated with Mayong.
One such story is of Muhammad Shah and his army. It is said that during war times in the 1330s, Muhammad Shah’s 100,000 horsemen disappeared near Mayong due to black magic and witchcraft and not a single trace was left behind.
There’s no way to attest to the authenticity of these stories, but the whole experience of opening yourself up to this world is certainly something worth writing home about.
This ancient land is rich in wildlife as well. Visit the Probitora Wildlife Sanctuary nearby, home to the largest population of one-horned rhinoceros in the world. one can also explore archaeological remains, ancient artifacts, and books associated with black magic, witchcraft, and Ayurveda at the Mayong Central Museum and Emporium.

The best time to visit Mayong is during the dry season, between November – March. April – October is summer in Assam when temperatures climb up and the state experiences a lot of rain (especially between June – September). Plus, November sees the Mayong Pobitora Festival which makes your trip even more exciting.

During these tough days the whole country is suffering from a dangerous virus known as Corona Virus.It is the biggest outbreak till now.The whole country is going through several crises due to the lockdown. The most affected field is the education field.For the safety all the

Online teaching — the new normal to emerge during the lockdown — seems to be losing steam with teachers refusing to conduct classes due to “bullying” by students’ parents. Several teachers, who switched over to the new platform just days ago,are already overwhelmed by the digital experience. They say they are under tremendous pressure, with parents constantly complaining about the poor quality of teaching, spelling mistakes, improper pronunciation, harsh tone of voice, lack of warmth towards children etc. Some videos depicting teachers in poor light owing to their pronunciation have gone viral on social media. 

The interference by overenthusiastic parents has triggered debates in academic circles. Teachers of several prominent private schools across Karnataka have told their managements that they will not conduct online classes anymore. Many have said goodbye to e-teaching sooner than they thought.

As the report given by Hindustan Times teachers are facing many harassment by the students over online class.

As online classes in colleges across the Delhi University (DU) begin amid the lockdown, many teachers have complained that some “mischievous elements”, who are not on the rolls, were “misusing” the medium and harassing teachers with obscene messages and posts.

Several teachers in DU colleges said they were abused and harassed by some attendees during the online classes. The teachers said they have informed the university administration about the misbehaviour.

An assistant professor at a South Campus college, requesting anonymity, said he was taking an online class on the Zoom app last week when a person logged in and started writing obscene messages on the chat. “It was so sudden that it took us a few minutes to realise what was happening. It was embarrassing for us all. We had to abruptly suspend the class. We later went through the recorded video of the lecture to identify the person. We found that there is no student by the name in our class,” he said.

Another faculty member, who teachers at an all-women college in west Delhi, said a person logged in to his class with the username of an adult movie actor, and started posting abusive messages against women. “It’s come to our notice that some outsiders are logging in to our classes using the links we send to our students every day on our college WhatsApp groups. We share our screen during the online classes with our students and everyone can use that and post their views and questions. We are trying to find out a way to address this issue,” the teacher said.

DU executive council (EC) member Rajesh Jha said such incidents are being reported by many teachers over the last few days. “Several women teachers have also informed us that they were abused and harassed during these live classes. The teachers send the invites for live sessions on Zoom or Google Meet to their students every day. The students can log in simply by entering their names and email IDs. These incidents clearly indicate that students are sharing these invites with outsiders as well. Many countries are facing similar issues in conducting online classes,” he said.

According to foreign media reports, Singapore banned some video conferencing applications for teaching purpose after hackers posted obscene images during the classes.

DU Teacher Association (DUTA) secretary Rajinder Singh said they have also received some complaints from teachers. “Teachers have now started taking precautions. Some of them have told us that they immediately remove the person from class who writes or shares any unnecessary messages,” he said.

A senior university official said they are looking into the matter. “We are aware of these incidents. We are looking into the matter and trying to fix it. We may file a police complaint in the matter soon,” a DU official said.

I just want to say that old teachers who doesn’t know how to use the internet and all other things related to internet is trying to teach the students for the sake of student future and carrier. Learning at this age is not so easy for them but still they are trying to cope up with the flow of the nation.so harassing and abusing the teachers doesn’t seems cool.May be students know more about internet but still can’t replace the essence of teacher. I think we should help our teachers to make this online class a successfull step to overcome this pandemic.
