If not us, Who?……If not now, When?

John F Kennedy,USA

John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK and Jack, was an American politician who served as the 35th president of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination in November 1963. Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his work as president concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A Democrat, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate prior to becoming president.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy was born outside Boston in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29, 1917, at 83 Beals Street, to Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., a businessman and politician, and Rose Kennedy (née Fitzgerald), a philanthropist and socialite. His paternal grandfather, P. J. Kennedy, served as a Massachusetts state legislator. Kennedy’s maternal grandfather and namesake, John F. “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald, served as a U.S. Congressman and was elected to two terms as Mayor of Boston. All four of his grandparents were children of Irish immigrants. Kennedy had an elder brother, Joseph Jr., and seven younger siblings: Rosemary, Kathleen (“Kick”), Eunice, Patricia, Robert (“Bobby”), Jean, and Edward (“Ted”).

He has won many prestigious awards.In addition to the various campaign medals received for his war service, Kennedy was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his conduct during and after the loss of PT-109, as well as the Purple Heart for being wounded.

Just before the assassination,Kennedy chose to travel to Texas to smooth over frictions in the Democratic Party between liberals Ralph Yarborough and Don Yarborough (no relation) and conservative Texas governor John Connally.Kennedy later decided to embark on the trip with three basic goals in mind:

1.) to help raise more Democratic Party presidential campaign fund contributions;

 2.) begin his quest for reelection in November 1964 ;

3.) to help mend political fences among several leading Texas Democratic party members who appeared to be fighting politically amongst themselves since the Kennedy-Johnson ticket had barely won Texas in 1960 (and had even lost in Dallas).

 The trip was publicly announced in September 1963, the exact motorcade route was finalized on November 18 and publicly announced a few days before November 22.Kennedy’s open-top 1961 Lincoln Continental four-door convertible limousine entered Dealey Plaza at 12:30 p.m. CST. Nellie Connally, the First Lady of Texas, turned to Kennedy, who was sitting behind her, and commented, “Mr. President, you can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you”. Kennedy’s reply – “No, you certainly can’t” – were his last words..From Houston Street, the limousine made the planned left turn onto Elm to provide access to the Stemmons Freeway exit.As it turned, it passed by the Texas School Book Depository, and as it continued down Elm Street shots were fired. About 80% of the witnesses recalled hearing three shots.

A small number of witnesses recognized the first gunshot (shortly after Kennedy began waving) for what it was, but there was little reaction from most in the crowd or riding in the motorcade. Many later said they imagined what they heard to be a firecracker, or a vehicle backfiring. Although some close witnesses recalled seeing the limousine slow down, nearly stop, or completely stop.

The assassination had an effect on many people, not only in the United States but around the world. Many vividly remember where they were when they first learned the news that Kennedy was assassinated, as with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Ultimately, the death of President Kennedy, and the ensuing confusion surrounding the facts of his assassination, are of political and historical importance insofar as they marked a turning point and decline in the faith of the American people in the political establishment.

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.

Wind power or wind energy is wind energy, which is used to provide mechanical power by wind turbines to produce electricity and to do other jobs, such as milling or pumping. Wind energy is clean, renewable and has far less environmental impacts than fossil fuel use.

Wind farms consist of several individual wind turbines linked to the power supply grid. Onshore wind is a reliable power source, comparable with or much cheaper than coal or gas plants. Onshore wind turbines will have an effect on the environment, as usually they may spread over more land than other power plants and be installed in wild and remote areas that could result in ‘rural industrialisation’ and loss of habitat. Offshore winds are more steady and strong than on land and offshore farms, but building and repair costs are higher.

The wind is an intermittent source of energy that neither produces nor ships electricity on demand. It also offers a variable power that varies widely year after year, but over shorter periods. It must also be used in combination with other sources of energy or storage to provide secure supplies. With the share of wind power in a region increasing, more traditional energy sources (such as fossil fuels and nuclear power) are required to help them, and the network will need to be upgraded. Such energy management strategies may also solve problems, such as a dispatching energy, an adequate hydro-electric energy, surplus capacity, geographically dispersed turbines, export and import power to neighbouring areas, electricity storage or a reduction in demand when wind turbines are low. The weather forecast allows for predictable output fluctuations in the electricity network.

In recent years, the capacity to produce wind energy has increased significantly in India. As of 29 February 2020, the wind turbines had an installed wind energy capacity of 37.669 GW and it was the fourth highest installed wind power capacity in the world.

In India, the cost of wind power is rapidly declining. During December 2017 auctions on wind projects, the uniform tariff on wind turbines reached a record low of 2,43 kWh (3,4 US), per kWh (without any direct or indirect grants). In December 2017, the Union government announced the relevant Tariff Wind Power Auction Guidelines in order to provide the developers with clarification and to reduce the risk.

There are seven rounds in Indian marriage ,There are seven days in a week ,There are seven colors in a rainbow ,There are seven continents and there were seven wonders of the ancient world, there are seven deadly sin ,Some researchers have found that human memory works best when remembering up to — but not more than — seven items There is also a powerful connection between the number seven and the religions of the world. It is believed that god made the world in six days and rested on the seventh day. Scholars have found that the number seven often represents perfection or completeness in the Bible .Seven is also the number of the Sun, Moon, and five classically known planets .seven notes on a musical scale, seven seas ,Snow White ran off to live with seven dwarves…

If we talk about mathematics, number seven has special quality there also as it’s an odd number. Even numbers can be easily divided by two, so odd numbers seem more unique to some people.

Seven is also a prime number, which means it can only be divided by itself and one. Since it’s the largest prime number between one and 10, some people see it as more interesting for that reason .The number seven is the fourth prime number as also a Mersenne prime, the first Woodall prime, the fourth factorial prime, the second lucky and the second safe prime.

Seven is the only number below 15 that cannot be represented as a sum of the squares of three integers.

According to researchers Seven has the highest probability of occurring as an addition when rolling dice .It’s the second lucky prime and the first happy number in mathematics.

Seven not only represents the jackpot on slot machines, but it s also the basis for many myths and folklore. For example, various parts of the world had beliefs about the seventh son of a seventh son, legends that endowed him with magical powers of both the good and evil variety (e.g., the child was believed to have healing powers according to Irish folklore). 

according to research the mathematician Alex Bellos asked 44,000 people to name their favorite number and over 4,000 of them named the number 7, far more than any other number. Indeed, ask people to name a number from one to ten and many will name the number seven — as many magicians know.

Personally seven is my favourite number too…

The middle class is a class of people in the middle of a social hierarchy. Its usage has often been vague whether defined in terms of occupation, income, education or social status. The definition by any author is often chosen for political connotations. Writers on the left favor the lower-status “working class”. Modern social theorists—and especially economists—have defined and re-defined the term “middle class” in order to serve their particular social or political ends.
The common measures of what constitutes middle class vary significantly among cultures. On the one hand, the term can be viewed primarily in terms of socioeconomic status. One of the narrowest definitions limits it to those in the middle fifth of the nation’s income ladder. A wider characterization includes everyone but the poorest 20% and the wealthiest 20%. Some theories like “Paradox of Interest”, use decile groups and wealth distribution data to determine the size and wealth share of the middle class.

One word which we all listen to in everyday life but we are so used to it that we don’t even pay attention to is the word WE. The typical middle class family since ages has lived together. All the so called chachas, tayas, buas, mamas have all lived together. Till a few years ago nobody knew the meaning of personal space in a house. You were always surrounded by your nephews, nieces, all the bhaiyas, didis asking you personal questions, following you wherever you went. Even the concept of marriage in an Indian setting has always been that of union of two families rather than two individuals coming together. Earlier TV viewing was more of an activity which the whole family used to do together, wait for the serials like buniyaad, chitrahaar to start, wait for that Friday movie when only one of the families in the village used to have the television and that person’s house would turn into a cinema theatre with the whole of village flooding that house; but nowadays that concept is changing. TV viewing has become more of an individual centric activity wherein hundreds of channels are there to cater to every individual’s choice. The whole concept of joint-ness is fast dissolving.

Economic reform has provided the Indian middle class the most needed the liberation in terms of living life to the most. There has been a constant shift in the cultural sign and symbols adapted through ages. Disappearance of girl’s pig tail, freedom of mobility through scooterette, providing the elders their own space of living, telecommunication evolution, explosion in the passenger car segment , changing clothing pattern are few of the visible patterns in society. Girl’s pony tail were a symbol of desired feminine reserved nature which has seen a change both in length and its handling. The shortening of hair gives a girl a sense of personal control displayed metaphorically. The scooty revolution has helped the female to expand her boundaries without being dependent on any family member providing her a sense of independence. Even the car owned has seen a shift towards adapting more compact cars. The recent shift from petrol to electric and LPG based cars not only signifies the change in attitude towards efficiency but also the urge to keep up technologically. Dhoni has been one the true middle class iconic figures which has altered the way Indian see a small town boy. The ‘can do’ attitude along with the lack of fear of failure and unmindfulness of hierarchy has been the reason behind success of Dhoni. Any Indian middle class can draw inspiration from him in the way towards dealing with pressure and performing without fear of failure. The increase in disposable income has led to the change in attitude towards life, attitude towards savings. The Indian middle class is not afraid to take risks in life to get a bigger return. He is in constant search of avenues of making money. An age where money has its own language, and the person in possession of money is in possession of power. It has become the source of energy which drives the entire economy, of which Indian middle class has played the most important role.

The essence of middle class can be truly experienced while travelling across country via any means be it train, bus, jugaad or be it airplane. Out of all these means Train definitely displays the middle class in true sense. Indian Railways carries millions of Indians mostly middle class people through length and breadth of this huge nation on a daily basis. A typical middle class passenger takes a train journey not just as travel but as ritual. He is worried about the co-passenger’s destination more than his own. The train coupe forms a perfect blend of many cultures and their practices. It is clearly visible during the meal time.

All i have to say that we are from middle class family and are not ashamed of it rather i am proud of it.Middle class family is that family which stands together to face all the difficulties and share there emotions at the same time.Decisions were taken unitedly.and the consequences of the difficulties also faced by the family unitedly.I have only these words that really inspires me:—-

My background is that I came from a middle class family, and I think those values stay where ever you go.

Depression is a common and serious medical illness that puts negative effects on your thinking, functioning, and ability to feel.

Anxiety, apathy, dissatisfaction, emptiness, guilt, despair, mood swings, nervousness, or pleasure-giving actions, not even feeling of happiness. In depression, a person is distressed, either sad or depleted of his energy. In a situation that affects his mental level, a person feels very stressed and relieved.

Difference between sadness and depression
It is important to know the difference between sadness and depression. We are all sad and almost daily but then soon become normal, but if the sadness continues for a long time (at least two weeks) and its impact on our daily life then this becomes depression. Actually, it is a disorder associated with neuro, which occurs when there is a change in the part of the brain that controls the mood. Anyone can come in the grip of this. It is believed that 1 in 5 adults is a victim of depression once in life. By the way, not only children are also victims of depression, especially due to quarrels among parents, poor school results, or friendship with a particular friend. In such a situation, the role of the parents is that if they see the child for a week, then they should definitely take it to the psychologist.
