The problem has been the supply side,” said Baryomunsi, who is also an epidemiologist. “We have the money but we simply can’t get the vaccine. This is a challenge of access and equity. We have to rely on the western world and the western world has focused on its population. The impression is that people there don’t care about Africans.”
Uganda, which successfully repressed earlier waves of infection, has like other countries across Africa risked significant economic damage by imposing another severe lockdown.
“There was complacency that set in with the population and then a new variant that was much more aggressive,” Baryomunsi told the Guardian. “We have lost many people. The good news is that we have started to bring down infections.”
Dr Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO’s director for Africa, told reporters the continent had just marked its most dire pandemic week ever. “But the worst is yet to come as the fast-moving third wave continues to gain speed and new ground,” she said.
In the seven days to Thursday, the continent recorded 251,000 cases, a 21% increase. So far only 1.6% of vaccine doses administered globally have been given in Africa, and less than 2% of its population vaccinated.
Applet is a small program which provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to user.Applet programs are executed with a special JDK tool- appletviewer. An applet is a Java program that runs in a Web browser. An applet can be a fully functional Java application because it has the entire Java API at its disposal.When a user views an HTML page that contains an applet, the code for the applet is downloaded to the user’s machine. A JVM is required to view an applet.
What is difference between Applet and Application?
Sr. No.
Application
Applet
1.
Applications are just like a Java programs that can be execute independently without using web browser.
Applets are small Java programs that are designed to be included with HTML web document. They require a Java-enabled web browser for execution.
2.
Application program requires a main function for its execution.
Applet does not require a main function for its execution.
3.
Java application programs have the full access to the local file system network.
Applets don’t have local disk and network access.
4.
Applications can access all kinds of resources available on the system.
Applets can only access the browser specific services. They don’t have access to the local system.
5.
Applications can executes the programs from the local system.
Applets cannot execute programs from the local machine.
6.
An application program is needed to perform some task directly for the user.
An applet program is needed to perform small tasks or the part of it.

Conclusion
As it operates on the client side, it requires much less response time. Any browser that has JVM operating in it can operate it.
Labour Productivity in Agriculture Versus Non-agriculture The National Commission on Enterprises in Unorganised Sector (NCEUS) estimated that in 2004-05 the ‘per worker GDP’ (called ‘labour productivity’) in agriculture was about one-fourth of industrial sector GDP and one-sixth of service sector GDP. The ratio of labour productivity in agriculture to that in non-agriculture has, in fact, been continuously declining since 1983. This implies that the relative economic condition of agricultural workforce (vis-à-vis industrial and service sector workforce) has deteriorated over time. Further, due to limited access of farmers and agricultural workers to employment in high value added non-agricultural activities, a large number of them could not be occupationally mobile and per force remained dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. Employment Elasticity in Agriculture Versus Non-agriculture Employment growth in agricultural and non-agricultural activities for the period 1993-94 to 2004-05 is presented in Table-7.1. Between 1993-94 and 1999-00, agricultural employment witnessed a negligible 0.03 percent growth (i.e. annual average percentage growth). During this period, agricultural GDP increased by 2.9 percent per annum. As a result, the employment elasticity (defined as the ratio of employment growth to the corresponding GDP growth which indicates the employment generated for every unit of income generated or added to the sector) was low at 0.01. However, in the non-agricultural activities, the employment growth was as high as 2.5 percent, GDP growth was 8.1 percent and the consequent employment elasticity was also high at 0.31. The growth rate of real wages in the non- agricultural sector (5.03) also was nearly twice as high as compared to the agricultural sector (2.74). The growth story was similar even during the next quinquennium i.e. 1999-00 to 2004-05 but the situation for the agricultural sector was one of improvement. The employment elasticity in the non-agriculture was 0.65 as against 0.49 in agriculture. But the improvement in the employment elasticity of agricultural sector itself, from 0.01 in 1994-95 to 0.49 in 2000-2005, is significant. Notably, the real wages in agriculture also grew faster than the nonagriculture i.e. 1.46 percent in the former as compared to 0.13 in the latter. These facts are empirically encouraging from the point of view of agricultural development in India
As we by now know well, a large number of poor people directly or indirectly depend on agriculture. Growth in the agricultural sector creates increased demand for basic rural non-agriculture wage goods and services. Many of these goods are mostly produced and consumed locally. A high growth in agriculture has great potential for generating employment and income in the rural non-farm sector. The World Development Report (WDR 2008) argues that agricultural growth is four times as effective in reducing poverty and inequality as growth in non-agricultural sectors. Another UN report entitled ‘Sustaining Growth and Sharing Prosperity’ (ESCAP, 2008) also says that persistent poverty in the Asia-Pacific region are the result of decades of neglect of agriculture. The survey says that close to a third of the region’s poor (i.e. an estimated 218 million), could be lifted out of poverty if average agricultural labour productivity is raised. Growth in agricultural income is therefore regarded as more effective in reducing poverty. You may note that the rate of decline in poverty in India was greater during the relatively higher agricultural growth period of 1980s than during the low agricultural growth period of 1990s. For instance, rural poverty in India declined by 9 percentage point between 1993- 94 and 2004-05 while between 1977-78 and 1987-88, it had declined by 14 percentage points. Inadequate accessibility of food is one of the main causes of poverty, hunger and malnutrition which is widely spread in rural India. Due to malnutrition and hunger, a worker would be physically too incapable to earn enough to feed himself and his family. An increase in agricultural production and productivity would play a key role in reducing poverty by raising agricultural wages and making food and other agricultural commodities affordable to the poor households. However, agricultural growth would be more effective in reducing poverty when supported by adequate investment in human development components such as health and education. The provision of basic education, as well as formal or informal training for developing and upgrading skills, is crucial for farm workers, as they with sufficient knowledge and skills are better able to respond to new technology, market opportunities, and risk
Since the beginning of India’s foundation, Panchayats have been the pillar of Indian rural set up. According to Mahatma Gandhi, development and governance in India should not be in big cities and towns but in rural areas and small villages because majority of Indian population resides in villages.
A Panchayati Raj meeting in India. Picture Credits: India Today.
The Panchayati Raj system in India derives its existence from Indian Constitution under Part IX under the head The Panchayats. When power is taken away from Central and State Governments and given to local government, it is called decentralisation.
Most of our Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra are internally very diverse. There is thus a need for power sharing within these states. Federal power sharing in India needs another tier of government, below that of the State governments. This is the rationale for decentralisation of power. Thus, this resulted in a third-tier of government, called local government. People have better knowledge of problems in their localities.
The need for decentralisation was recognised in our constitution. Since then there have been several attempts to decentralise power to the level of villages and towns. Panchayats in villages were set up in all states. An independent institution called the State Election Commission has been created in each state to conduct Panchayat elections.
A major step towards decentralisation was taken in 1992. The Constitution was amended to make the third-tier of democracy more powerful and effective. Now it is constitutionally mandatory to hold regular elections to local government bodies.
Now it is constitutionally mandatory to hold regular elections to local government bodies. Seats are reserved in the elected bodies and the executive heads of these institutions for the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes. At least one-third of all positions are reserved for women. The State governments are required to share some powers and revenue with local government bodies. The nature of sharing varies from State to State.
Rural Local Governments is popularly known by the name panchayati raj. Each village or a group of villages in some states have a gram panchayat. This is a council consisting of several ward members often called panch, and a president or sarpanch. They are directly elected by all the adult population living in that ward or village. It is the decision making body of the entire village. The Panchayat works under the overall supervision of the gram sabha. All the voters in the village are its members. It has to meet at least twice or thrice in a year to approve the annual budget of the gram panchayat and to review the performance of the gram panchayat.
The local government structure goes right up to the district level. A few gram panchayats are grouped together to form what we call as a panchayat samiti or block or mandal. The members of this representative body are elected by all the panchayat members in that area. All the panchayat samitis in a district together constitute the zilla parishad.
Despite of the many flaws, Panchayats have contributed a lot maintaining the rule of law inside villages and educating the rural population about various different matters pertaining to their interests.
Shashi Tharoor is an Indian politician, a prolific writer, diplomat and an active member of Parliament from Kerala since 2009. He wrote several fictional as well as non-fictional books including “An era of darkness: the British Empire in India, “Inglorious empire: what British did to India” and many more. His collective ideology is assembled in every of his article and book that oppose the controversial notion that the British Raj was beneficial to India, in the long run. The damage that the British government did to India is beyond the act of reparation, quoted by Tharoor in his interview.
Furthermore, the British bequest such a Railways, rule of law, parliamentary democracy, and all those extravagant commodities were not intended for the betterment of Indians. The only motive of establishing “The Railways” was to siphon off the Indian resources to the Britain treasury. British entered India as an East India Company to trade spices and deceptively captured 2/3 of India including Bengal. Several policies such as the Free Market policy, The Malthusian policy, Victorian fiscal prudence were made by the British that worsens the conditions of Indians in their motherland even more. Poor Indians were forced to live in miserable situations with no basic rights. Millions of Indians died due to starvation in the year 1891-1900 due to over-exploitation of agricultural produce and partly due to Free-market policy up to some extent. To be more accurate, the policies made by the British had the hidden agenda of corruption and injustice that damage the country and countrymen altogether. Under British Raj, the most thriving textile industry in India perished into the thin air. It was a common practice of East India Company to mutilate the skilled workers by chopping off their fingers so that they couldn’t weave anymore, thereby destroyed the largest part of the Indian economy.
The Bengal Famine of 1943 is another outrageous event that happened under the British raj that costs millions of lives. According to a recent study, the famine was not only caused by the drought but also by the complete failure of the policy of British India under the Ministry of Winston Churchill, who is remembered as the man who caused the Bengal famine.
Besides corruption, brutality and the horrendous massacre, “The Jalianwala Bagh”, is the heinous crime for which The Royal family owe an apology to every Indian or at least to the family undergone terrible damage under the British reign.
Tharoor has written a total of 15 books in his career, and thousands of articles in publications including the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, The Times of India and many more. His books are available in many languages across the globe such as French, Italian, Roman, Polish as well as Bengali and Malayalam. He is known for his humorous criticism of the inhuman system in a civilised manner.
Teachers’ Day 2020: In India, Teachers’ Day is celebrated annually on September 5 to mark the birthday of the country’s former President, scholar, philosopher and Bharat Ratna awardee, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was born on this day in 1888.
The significance of this day is ever-evolving, including taking lessons from life and making your experiences the teachers you needed to shape you into who you become. For school students, the day also means getting roses, chocolates, gifts including handmade cards to profess their affection for their favourite teachers. For senior students, Teacher’s day is one of role reversal and celebration.
Who was Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan
World Teachers’ Day is celebrated on October 5, but every country celebrates the day on different dates. In India, September 5 is marked as Teachers’ Day as it’s the birthday of a highly-respected teacher, philosopher and prolific statesman, Dr Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan. Dr Radhakrishnan said that “teachers should be the best minds in the country.”
The story behind Teachers’ Day goes that when Dr Radhakrishan took the office of the second President of India in 1962, his students approached him to seek permission to celebrate September 5 as a special day. Dr Radhakrishnan instead made a request of them to observe September 5 as Teachers’ Day, to recognise the contribution of teachers to the society.
Teacher’s Day is celebrated across schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions. Students put on performances, dances, and host elaborate shows for their most-loved teachers.
This year, owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, and schools being shut, the celebrations will be given a miss. However, virtual wishes and greetings are a perfect way to tell your teachers you remember them now and always will.

The word agriculture is derived from the Latin language importance of agriculture. So we all know that India is an agricultural country . And we have been hearing this since the very beginning . That is , most of the people here are involved in agriculture, So no doubt that when so many people are involved in agriculture, then maximum people will get national income. So agriculture plays a very important role in the Indian economy. Agriculture generates 24% of the nation’s income. Means, out of 100 rupees, 24 rupees comes from your agriculture and the rest is in other sectors. And which is 60% of the population of India, it is in agriculture, which means that 40% of the population is either they are doing service or they work in the industry. And until production does not come from agriculture, then you can think that no industry will serve. The industry which depends on the agricultural product also cannot survive without the product And the agriculture that plays an important role of development of industries and foreign trade. Because so many companies are, it depends on the agricultural product itself. Agriculture play the back bone of Indian economy.
Following one the role of agriculture in the India economy.
24% of the national income comes from agriculture.
There is 60% employment in agriculture.
Supply of raw material: If we want to make any product, then we need items. Like we need seeds to make oil. We need cotton for textile industries, so all these sources we call raw material, The things from which any other product is made, we called it raw material like cotton, seeds accepted vet, all these raw materials are supplied to us from agriculture.
Role A agriculture in international trade: About 70% of the products we export to other countries, we export products that are supplied from agriculture or apiculture. There are some important products which export from India. Like Tea, Sugar, Oils Seeds, Tobacco, Spices, Rubber are all agricultural products which we export to other countries.
Contribution to GDP(Gross Domestic Product):Apart from the industries in our country, agriculture sector and human being contribute to the multi GDP.So we can say that agriculture plays a very important role in increasing GDP.Agriculture has contributed 51% in 1950-52, while between 2018 and 2019, only 14.4% was contributed But this does not mean that there is no importance of agriculture sector but agriculture also plays a very important role If the contribution of agriculture to GDP has been reduced, then the reason is because that the people who are they have started moving towards the secondary and territory sector They have moved out of the ruler area to Auburn Places and started working, so the agriculture contribution has come down a bit in GDP But still we will say that agriculture is very important for us.
Supply of wage goods: We get oil, wheat, rice, all from agriculture. In India or outside country, we also need important stuff like oil, rice, wheat. All that we get from agriculture And you can see that in today’s time, 121 crore people in India get all these things from agriculture.85% of what we take every day is an agricultural product, while the remaining 15% comes from egg milk and meat.
Source of employment: Agriculture is a huge source of employment because even today there are many people who depend on agriculture He grows crops on his farm and he himself takes consume and also earns money by selling it to the market 50% of the population is engaged in agriculture Agriculture is also taken care of in the economy planning that is made for India.
Source of demand for industrial goods :The work of industrial goods is to make heavy products, make heavy machines And now our agriculture sector which is there demands this kind of machine Because we need tractor, compiler, all this in agriculture which comes from industries This means that agriculture demands industries to make machines and we will buy them So agriculture plays a very important role for industries as well.
Support to transport industry :So we all know that rail, roadways, air comes in transport But agriculture, which is mostly beneficial for railways, roadways Like goods trains, trucks, food items go in all these, if there is no agriculture then there will be no sugar can then there will be no transport Means has also given maximum employment opportunity in this, Agriculture is also very important in transport industries.
Wealth of Nation : The most important thing in our country is that we have agricultural land And there will be very few such countries in the world which have agricultural land So this is our heritage and we have to protect it and keep improving That’s why we would say that agriculture is very important to us because it is a wealth of nation.
And these are all the points due to which agriculture is considered important.
Isaac Newton was a tiny man in real life. But he was a giant in the world of science.
Newton created the theory of gravity around 1665 or 1666. He came up with the idea that every physical object, whether it’s a person, an apple or a planet, exerts a force on other physical objects. A force is a push or pull in a certain direction. The bigger the body, the stronger the force. There are different types of forces, but this one is called gravitational.
Some say that Newton came up with his ideas about gravity after watching an apple fall. He wondered why the apple fell straight down. Why didn’t it fall sideways, or even up toward the sky?
Gravity does not just make apples fall from trees. It also holds us on the ground. Newton showed that gravity even makes the moon circle around Earth, and Earth around the sun, Martin Rees says. He was president of Britain’s Royal Society. The Royal Society is the United Kingdom’s national academy of science.
Newton Changes Science Forever
The theory of gravity was just one of Newton’s discoveries. He also loved calculus. This is a mathematical subject that studies rates. A rate is the measurement of how much something changes. Newton’s ideas in calculus are still used today.
Newton also studied optics, the science of light. He found out that white light is not just white. It is actually a mix of all the colors of the rainbow. Newton used his knowledge of light to make better telescopes.
Following his apple idea, Newton wrote three laws of motion. These laws changed all of science, and are still used by scientists today.
First Law of Motion: Inertia
An object that sits still will remain still unless a force is applied to it. An object that is moving will keep moving along a straight line unless an outside force is applied to it.
Second Law of Motion: Acceleration
An object will accelerate if force is applied to it.
Acceleration is the change of an object’s speed. The acceleration will happen in the same direction as the force.
This idea can also be written as force equals mass times acceleration, or F = ma.
Third Law of Motion: Action and Reaction
For every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
Lets finish the first chapter in the star wars series by picking up where we left off. Dooku is revealed to be Darth Tyranus and escapes, the Jedi now have a clone army and Anakin is married to Padme which is against the rules. The story picks up three years later with Jedi now leading troops against the separatists, the plot between II and III is best explored in the animated series titled “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”. We might take a short dive into the series later on but right now we’ll talk about the events in Star Wars III: The revenge of the Sith.
The movie begins with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker boarding a flagship commanded by cyborg separatist commander general Griveous. They are sent on a mission to free the captured chancellor Palpatine by infiltrating Griveous’s ship. They come face to face with an old adversary, Count Dooku who is former Jedi Knight turned Sith Lord. In their last battle Dooku was victorious where he injured Obi-Wan and cut Anakin’s hand off, this time Anakin disarms Dooku and has him at his mercy. The chancellor persuades Anakin to behead Dooku which is against the Jedi code but Anakin kills Dooku anyway.
On returning to Coruscant Anakin meets with his secret wife, senator Padme Amidala who reveals to be pregnant with Anakin’s child. Although excited at first Anakin experiences visions of Padme dying in child birth. Palpatine appoints Anakin to the Jedi Council as his personal representative, the Council suspicious of the Jedi council approves Anakin’s appointment but denies him the rank of a Jedi Master. Anakin is instead asked to keep an eye on the chancellor which diminishes Anakin’s faith on the order. Palpatine reveals his knowledge about the dark side of the force and tries to tempt Anakin to the dark side. Anakin reports this to Jedi Master Mace Windu who confronts and subdues the chancellor, Anakin wishing to save Padme kill Windu and joins the Dark Side. Anakin is knighted by Darth Sidious as his apprentice Darth Vader.
General Griveous relocates the separatist leaders to Mustafar a volcanic planet and Obi-Wan is dispatched to deal with him. Unbeknownst to the Jedi order, the clone troopers had a chip that was programmed to accept a specialise order known as order 66. The chancellor heavily disfigured after his fight against Master Windu declares the Jedi as traitors to the galactic council and declares himself as the emperor. He enacts order 66 which turns the clones against the Jedi, heavily outnumbering the Jedi the clones succeed in decimating most of the order. Grand Master Yoda and Obi-Wan survive the onslaught and reach Coruscant where they discover Anakin’s turn to the dark side.
Obi-Wan forced to take action against his former apprentice who he once considered to be a brother seeks out Padme to learn about Anakin’s whereabouts. A distraught Padme travels to Mustafar to convice Anakin to come back to the light, Obi-Wan who snuck his way onto Padme’s ship comes face to face with Anakin trying to reason with him. Anakin blinded with rage accuses Padme and Obi-Wan of conspiring to kill him and proceeds to use the Force to choke Padme. Obi-Wan intercepts and duels his former apprentice to a stalemate having worked together for so long. Obi-Wan however gains the edge while fighting in a river of magma over makeshift platforms, Anakin still on a floating platform attacks Obi-Wan who stands on higher ground. Obi-Wan reluctantly severs Anakin’s limbs and leaves him to die.
After a duel between the chancellor and Yoda comes to a stalemate Yoda flees with senator Bail organa and regroups with Obi-Wan and a barely alive Padme on the planetoid Polis Massa. Padme gives birth to twins Luke and Leia before passing away, Yoda and Obi-Wan decide to separate the twins who have a string connection to the force. Leia is adopted by senator Bail to Alderran and Luke is adopted by his step uncle and aunt Owen and Beru Lars on Tatooine. The surving Jedi are sent into exile biding their time until it is right, Yoda exiles himself to Dagobah and Obi-Wan stays on Tatooine to protect Luke.
Palpatine however finds an almost dying Anakin and resurrects him with technology that places him in a menacing black suit. Palpatine lies to Anakin by telling him that he killed Padme in his anger hence cementing Anakin’s turn to the dark side. The tyrannical rule of the emperor and his apprentice Darth Vader begins. The interim period is somewhat seen in an animated series called Star Wars: Rebels and a couple of games.
We shall take up the next part soon so stay tuned. Until then may the Force be with you.
Agriculture is the backbone of our country.More than 50% of Indian’s population is dependent on agriculture.A few decade ago people people used to do farming using ancient tools, but now after the Green Revolution high yield varieties of food grains and vegetables have also been invented which has led to greater growth in agriculture in India. Government has constructed Dams and Canals on several rivers for irrigation purposes.
Our country India is the world’s largest producer of fresh fruits like Mango,Banana, Guava, Papaya etc.India also produces dry fruits, spices and vegetables.Food grains like rice and wheat are produced in ample amount.
Food is one of the basic necessities of human being.Hence, more and more people should focus on agriculture for their source of income.The food which we get to eat daily is the gift of hard work of the farmers.We as a society must respect the farmers and appreciate their hard work.If they stop working, we won’t get enough food.
Nun and missionary Mother Teresa, known in the Catholic church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, devoted her life to caring for the sick and poor. Born in Macedonia to parents of Albanian-descent and having taught in India for 17 years, Mother Teresa experienced her “call within a call” in 1946. Her order established a hospice; centers for the blind, aged and disabled; and a leper colony.
In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian work. She died in September 1997 and was beatified in October 2003. In December 2015, Pope Francis recognized a second miracle attributed to Mother Teresa, clearing the way for her to be canonized on September 4, 2016.
Mother Teresa’s Family and Young Life
Mother Teresa was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje, the current capital of the Republic of Macedonia. The following day, she was baptized as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu.
Mother Teresa’s parents, Nikola and Dranafile Bojaxhiu, were of Albanian descent; her father was an entrepreneur who worked as a construction contractor and a trader of medicines and other goods. The Bojaxhius were a devoutly Catholic family, and Nikola was deeply involved in the local church as well as in city politics as a vocal proponent of Albanian independence.
In 1919, when Mother Teresa — then Agnes — was only eight years old, her father suddenly fell ill and died. While the cause of his death remains unknown, many have speculated that political enemies poisoned him.
In the aftermath of her father’s death, Agnes became extraordinarily close to her mother, a pious and compassionate woman who instilled in her daughter a deep commitment to charity. Although by no means wealthy, Drana Bojaxhiu extended an open invitation to the city’s destitute to dine with her family. “My child, never eat a single mouthful unless you are sharing it with others,” she counseled her daughter. When Agnes asked who the people eating with them were, her mother uniformly responded, “Some of them are our relations, but all of them are our people.”
Education and Nunhood
Agnes attended a convent-run primary school and then a state-run secondary school. As a girl, she sang in the local Sacred Heart choir and was often asked to sing solos. The congregation made an annual pilgrimage to the Church of the Black Madonna in Letnice, and it was on one such trip at the age of 12 that she first felt a calling to religious life. Six years later, in 1928, an 18-year-old Agnes Bojaxhiu decided to become a nun and set off for Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto in Dublin. It was there that she took the name Sister Mary Teresa after Saint Thérèse of Lisieux.
A year later, Sister Mary Teresa traveled on to Darjeeling, India, for the novitiate period; in May 1931, she made her First Profession of Vows. Afterward, she was sent to Calcutta, where she was assigned to teach at Saint Mary’s High School for Girls, a school run by the Loreto Sisters and dedicated to teaching girls from the city’s poorest Bengali families. Sister Teresa learned to speak both Bengali and Hindi fluently as she taught geography and history and dedicated herself to alleviating the girls’ poverty through education.
