Indicators of Economic Development

The major indicators to measure the level of economic development are
✓Net National Product (NNP)
✓Per Capita Income (PCI)
✓Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
✓Human Development Index (HDI)

Net National Product

The Net National Product (NNP) is considered as a true measure of national output. It is also known as national income. A rise in per capita income means an increase in aggregate real output. Hence, this is a better indicator than national income for measuring development.

For measuring a country’s development, its income is considered to be one of the most important factors. Countries with higher income are considered to be more developed than those with lesser income. So, income itself is considered to be one of the indicators of economic development.

Per Capita Income

However, for comparing the development of various countries, total income is not satisfactory measure. Since countries have different populations, comparing total income will not be suggestive of what an average person is likely to earn, as people in one country are better off than others in a different country? The average income is calculated by dividing the country’s total income by its total population. The average income is also called per capita income. Calculations on the per capita income of all countries are calculated only in the US dollar in order to compare International level.

Purchasing Power Parity

Purchasing power parity is defined as the number of units of a country’s currency required to buy the same amount of goods and services in the domestic market as one dollar would buy in the US

The technique of purchasing power parity allows us to estimate what exchange between two currencies is needed to express the accurate purchasing power of the two currencies in the respective countries. Recently, India became the third largest economy in terms of PPP. China became the largest defeating the US to the second position.

Human Development

Human resource is necessary for the progress of any country. The term ‘human resources’ refers to the collective abilities of people, which can be utilised in the production sector.

Human resource development means the development of a person’s physical and mental abilities through education, health care and training. Therefore, investment in education and health of people can result in a high rate of returns in the future for a country. For example, if a child is invested with good education and health, he or she may turn to be very productive in future in the form of higher earnings and greater contribution to the society. Human Development Index (HDI) which indicates all round development of the people in the society.

In the past, economists believed that the rate of economic growth of nations could be increased only by increasing investment in physical capital. But they have realised over time that investment in human capital is as important as investment in physical capital.

Ola gets 1 lakh bookings for its e-scooter

Ola’s electric scooter has got over 1 lakh reservations within the first 24 hours of bookings opening in India making it the most pre-booked scooter in the world, the company said in a statement. 

Ola had opened reservations for its electric scooter on July 15 and had set a price of Rs 499 for booking the scooter on its website. Ola claims its e-scooter would be class-leading in terms of range, speed, boot space, and technology.
 
“I am thrilled by the tremendous response from customers across India for our first electric vehicle. The unprecedented demand is a clear indicator of shifting consumer preferences to EVs. This is a huge step forward in our mission to transition the world to sustainable mobility,” Ola Chairman and Group CEO Bhavish Aggarwal said in the statement.

Ola has stated that their scooters would be priced aggressively to make it widely accessible. 
 
The company plans to reveal the features and price of the scooter in the coming days.

The scooter will be manufactured at the company’s two-wheeler factory, being built in Tamil Nadu, the statement said, and the first phase of the Ola Futurefactory is nearing completion and will be operationalised soon, while the full capacity of 10 million vehicles per annum will be built by next year.

Classification of Macronutrients

‘Macro’ signifies enormous or large, as their name proposes these are nutrients which individuals need to eat routinely and in a genuinely huge sum. They incorporate starches, fats, proteins, fiber and water. These substances are required for the flexibly of energy and development, for digestion and other body functions. Metabolism implies the cycle associated with the age of energy and all the ‘building squares’ needed to keep up the body and its capacities. Macronutrients give a great deal of calories however the measure of calories gave fluctuates, contingent upon the food source.

Every gram of starch or protein gives four calories, while fat gives nine calories to every gram.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates might be delegated monosaccharides, disaccharides or polysaccharides relying upon the quantity of monomer (sugar) units they contain. They are an assorted gathering of substances, with a scope of synthetic, physical and physiological properties. They make up a huge piece of nourishments, for example, rice, noodles, bread, and other grain-based items, yet they are not a basic nutrient, which means a human doesn’t have to eat sugars. The brain is the biggest shopper of sugars in the human body, and uses especially a lot of glucose, representing 20% of all out body glucose utilization. The brain utilises generally glucose for energy; if glucose is inadequate not withstanding, it changes to utilising fats. Monosaccharides contain one sugar unit, disaccharides two, and polysaccharides at least three. Monosaccharides incorporate glucose, fructose and galactose. Disaccharides incorporate sucrose, lactose, and maltose; cleaned sucrose, for example, is utilised as table sugar. Polysaccharides, which incorporate starch and glycogen, are regularly alluded to as ‘intricate’ starches since they are ordinarily long different stretched chains of sugar units.

Proteins

Proteins are the basis of numerous creature body structures (for example muscles, skin, and hair) and structure the compounds that control synthetic responses all through the body. Every protein particle is made out of amino acids which contain nitrogen and once in a while sulfur (these segments are answerable for the particular smell of consuming protein, for example, the keratin in hair). The body requires amino acids to deliver new proteins (protein maintenance) and to supplant harmed proteins. Amino acids are dissolvable in the stomach related juices inside the small digestive tract, where they are consumed into the blood. When ingested, they can’t be put away in the body, so they are either utilized as required or discharged in the urine. Proteins comprise of amino acids in various extents. The main angle and characterising normal for protein from a healthful viewpoint is its amino acid synthesis. For all animals, some amino acids are basic (can’t deliver them inside so they should be eaten) and some are trivial (can create them from other nitrogen-containing mixes). Around twenty amino acids are found in the human body, and around ten of these are fundamental. The combination of some amino acids can be restricted under uncommon pathophysiological conditions, for example, rashness in the newborn child or people in serious catabolic pain, and those are called restrictively fundamental. An eating routine that contains satisfactory measures of amino acids (particularly those that are basic) is especially significant in certain circumstances: during early turn of events and development, pregnancy, lactation, or injury (a consume, for example). A total protein source contains all the basic amino acids; a fragmented protein source needs at least one of the fundamental amino acids. It is conceivable with protein mixes of two inadequate protein sources (e.g., rice and beans) to make a total protein source, and trademark blends are the premise of unmistakable social cooking conventions. In any case, integral wellsprings of protein don’t should be eaten at a similar supper to be utilized together by the body. Abundance amino acids from protein can be changed over into glucose and utilised for fuel through a cycle called gluconeogenesis.

Fats and Oils

A particle of dietary fat ordinarily comprises of a few unsaturated fats (containing long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms), clung to a glycerol. They are commonly found as fatty oils (three unsaturated fats appended to one glycerol spine). Fats might be delegated immersed or unsaturated relying upon the substance structure of the unsaturated fats included. Immersed fats have the entirety of the carbon atoms in their unsaturated fat chains attached to hydrogen particles, though unsaturated fats have a portion of these carbon molecules twofold reinforced, so their atoms have moderately less hydrogen molecules than a soaked unsaturated fat of a similar length. Unsaturated fats might be additionally delegated monounsaturated (one twofold security) or polyunsaturated (some twofold securities). Besides, contingent upon the area of the twofold security in the unsaturated fat chain, unsaturated fats are named omega-3 or omega-6 unsaturated fats. Trans fats are a sort of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer securities; these are uncommon in nature and in nourishments from normal sources; they are regularly made in a modern cycle called (halfway) hydrogenation. There are nine kilocalories in every gram of fat. Unsaturated fats, for example, formed linoleic corrosive, catalpic corrosive, eleostearic corrosive and punicic corrosive, notwithstanding giving energy, speak to strong insusceptible modulatory particles. Immersed fats (ordinarily from creature sources) have been a staple in numerous world societies for centuries. Unsaturated fats (e. g., vegetable oil) are viewed as more advantageous, while trans fats are to be kept away from. Immersed and some trans fats are regularly strong at room temperature, (for example, spread or fat), while unsaturated fats are normally fluids, (for example, olive oil or flaxseed oil). Trans fats are extremely uncommon in nature, and have been demonstrated to be exceptionally unfavorable to human wellbeing, yet have properties helpful in the food handling industry, for example, rancidity opposition.

Water

Water is the significant constituent of the human body. The body can’t deliver enough water by digestion or acquire enough water by food ingestion to satisfy its requirements. As an outcome, we need to focus on what we drink for the duration of the day to guarantee that we are meeting our day by day water needs, as not doing so may have negative wellbeing impacts. Water is discharged from the body in numerous structures; including pee and defecation, perspiring, and by water fume in the breathed-out breath. In this manner, it is important to satisfactorily rehydrate to supplant lost liquids.
Early proposals for the amount of water needed for upkeep of good wellbeing recommended that 6–8 glasses of water day by day is the base to keep up legitimate hydration. The idea that an individual ought to burn-through eight glasses of water for each day can’t be followed to a trustworthy logical source. Water is the primary constituent of cells, tissues and organs and is essential forever. Regardless of its entrenched significance, water is frequently failed to remember in dietary suggestions, and the significance of sufficient hydration isn’t referenced. As a result, wellbeing experts and nutritionists are here and there confounded and question the need of drinking water consistently, what amount should we drink, and how to know if patients are very much hydrated.

FibRE

Dietary fiber is a carbohydrate, explicitly a polysaccharide, which is not completely assimilated in people and in certain animals. Like all sugars, when it is processed, it can create four Calories (kilocalories) of energy per
gram, however much of the time, it represents not as much as that on account of its restricted retention and absorbability. Entire grains, beans, and different vegetables, organic products (particularly plums, prunes, and figs), and vegetables are acceptable wellsprings of dietary fiber. Fibre is imperative to stomach related wellbeing and is thought to diminish the danger of colon malignant growth. Fiber can help in mitigating both blockage and loose bowels by expanding the weight and size of stool and mellowing it. Fiber gives mass to the intestinal substance, and insoluble fiber particularly invigorates peristalsis – the cadenced strong constrictions of the digestive organs which move digesta along the stomach related lot. Some dissolvable strands produce an answer of high thickness; this is basically a gel, which eases back the development of food through the digestive organs. By easing back the retention of sugar, fiber may assist lower with blooding glucose levels, diminishing insulin spikes and lessening the danger of type 2 diabetes.

7 Ways to Retain More of Every Book You Read

There are numerous advantages to perusing more books, however maybe my most loved is this: A decent book can give you another approach to decipher your previous encounters.

At whatever point you gain proficiency with another psychological model or thought, it resembles the “product” in your mind gets refreshed. Out of nowhere, you can run the entirety of your old information focuses through another program. You can take in new exercises from old minutes. As Patrick O’Shaughnessy says, “Perusing changes the past.”

Obviously, this is just evident in the event that you disguise and recall experiences from the books you read. Information will possibly compound in case it is held. At the end of the day, what makes a difference isn’t just perusing more books, yet getting more out of each book you read.

Acquiring information isn’t the solitary motivation to peruse, obviously. Perusing for delight or amusement can be a great utilization of time, however this article is tied in with perusing to learn. Considering that, I’d prefer to share probably the best perusing understanding procedures I’ve found.

  1. Stop More Books

It doesn’t take long to sort out in case something merits perusing. Talented composition and top notch thoughts stick out.

Subsequently, a great many people ought to presumably begin a greater number of books than they do. This doesn’t mean you need to peruse each book page-by-page. You can skim the list of chapters, section titles, and subheadings. Pick a fascinating area and plunge with regards to for a couple of pages. Possibly flip through the book and look at any bolded focuses or tables. Shortly, you’ll have a sensible thought of how great it is.

Then, at that point comes the urgent advance: Quit books rapidly and without blame or disgrace.

Life is too short to even think about squandering on normal books. The chance expense is excessively high. There are such countless astonishing things to peruse. I think Patrick Collison, the organizer of Stripe, put it pleasantly when he said, “Life is too short to not peruse the absolute best book you are aware of this moment.”

Here’s my proposal:

Start more books. Stop a large portion of them. Peruse the incredible ones twice.

  1. Pick Books You Can Use Instantly

One approach to further develop perusing perception is to pick books you can promptly apply. Setting the thoughts you read in motion is extraordinary compared to other approaches to get them in your psyche. Practice is an extremely compelling type of learning.

Picking a book that you can utilize likewise gives a solid motivation to focus and recollect the material. That is especially evident when something significant remains in a critical state. In the event that you’re beginning a business, for instance, you have a ton of inspiration to get all that you can out of the business book you’re perusing. Also, somebody who works in science may peruse The Origin of Species more cautiously than an irregular peruser on the grounds that it interfaces straightforwardly to their day by day work.

Obviously, few out of every odd book is a down to earth, how-to direct that you can apply quickly, and that is fine. You can discover shrewdness in various books. However, I find that I’m bound to recall books pertinent to my every day life.

  1. Make Searchable Notes

Keep notes on what you read. You can do this notwithstanding you like. It shouldn’t be a major creation or a confounded framework. Simply successfully underline the significant focuses and entries.

I do this in various manners relying upon the arrangement I’m devouring. I feature entries when perusing on Kindle. I type out fascinating statements as I pay attention to book recordings. I canine ear pages and translate notes when perusing a print book.

In any case, here’s the genuine key: store your notes in an accessible arrangement.

There is no compelling reason to leave the errand of perusing appreciation exclusively up to your memory. I keep my notes in Evernote. I favor Evernote over different alternatives since 1) it is immediately accessible, 2) it is not difficult to use across numerous gadgets, and 3) you can make and save notes in any event, when you’re not associated with the web.

I get my notes into Evernote threely:

I. Book recording: I make another Evernote document for each book and afterward type my notes straightforwardly into that record as I tune in.

II. Digital book: I feature sections on my Kindle Paperwhite and utilize a program called Clippings to send out the entirety of my Kindle features straightforwardly into Evernote. Then, at that point, I add an outline of the book and any extra considerations prior to presenting it on my book synopses page.

III. Print: Similar to my book recording system, I type my notes as I read. On the off chance that I run over a long section I need to decipher, I place the book on a book remain as I type. (Composing notes while perusing a print book can be irritating in light of the fact that you are continually putting the book down and picking it back up, yet this is the best arrangement I’ve found.)

Obviously, your notes don’t need to be advanced to be “accessible.” For instance, you can utilize Post-It Notes to label certain pages for future reference. As another choice, Ryan Holiday proposes putting away each note on a record card and ordering them by the subject or book.

The center thought is something similar: Keeping accessible notes is fundamental for getting back to thoughts without any problem. A thought is just helpful in the event that you can discover it when you need it.

  1. Consolidate Knowledge Trees

One approach to envision a book resembles an information tree with a couple of major ideas framing the storage compartment and the subtleties shaping the branches. You can find out more and further develop perusing perception by “connecting branches” and incorporating your present book with other information trees.

For instance:

While perusing The Tell-Tale Brain by neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, I found that one of his central issues associated with a past thought I gained from social work specialist Brené Brown.

In my notes for The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*CK, I noticed how Mark Manson’s concept of “committing suicide” covers with Paul Graham’s exposition on keeping your personality little.

As I read Mastery by George Leonard, I understood that while this book was about the cycle of progress, it likewise shed some light on the association among hereditary qualities and execution.

I added every knowledge to my notes for that specific book.

Associations like these assist you with recalling what you read by “snaring” new data onto ideas and thoughts you as of now comprehend. As Charlie Munger says, “In the event that you get into the psychological propensity for relating what you’re perusing to the fundamental design of the basic thoughts being illustrated, you step by step amass some shrewdness.”

At the point when you read something that helps you to remember another theme or promptly starts an association or thought, don’t permit that idea to travel every which way without notice. Expound on what you’ve realized and how it associates with different thoughts.

  1. Compose a Short Summary

When I finish a book, I challenge myself to sum up the whole content in only three sentences. This imperative is only a game, obviously, however it compels me to think about what was truly significant about the book.

A few inquiries I think about while summing up a book include:

What are the principle thoughts?

On the off chance that I carried out one thought from this book at the present time, which one could it be?

How might I portray the book to a companion?

As a rule, I find that I can typically get the same amount of valuable data from perusing my one-section synopsis and exploring my notes as I would on the off chance that I read the whole book once more.

In the event that you feel like you can’t press the entire book into three sentences, think about utilizing the Feynman Technique.

The Feynman Technique is a note-taking procedure named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s really basic: Write the name of the book at the highest point of a clear piece of paper, then, at that point record how you’d disclose the book to somebody who had never known about it.

On the off chance that you wind up stuck or on the other hand on the off chance that you see that there are openings in your agreement, survey your notes or return to the content and attempt once more. Continue to work it out until you have a decent handle on the principle thoughts and feel certain about your clarification.

I’ve discovered that barely anything uncovers holes in my intuition better than expounding on a thought as though I am disclosing it to an amateur. Ben Carlson, a monetary expert, says something almost identical, “I track down the most ideal approach to sort out what I’ve discovered from a book is to compose something about it.”

  1. Encompass the Topic

I regularly think about the statement by Thomas Aquinas, “Be careful the man of a solitary book.”

On the off chance that you just read one book on a subject and utilize that as the reason for your convictions for a whole class of life, indeed, how solid are those convictions? How exact and complete is your insight?

Perusing a book requires exertion, yet over and over again, individuals utilize one book or one article as the reason for a whole conviction framework. This is considerably more evident (and more hard to survive) with regards to utilizing our one, singular experience as the reason for our convictions. As Morgan Housel noticed, “Your own encounters cosmetics perhaps 0.00000001% of what’s occurred on the planet yet perhaps 80% of how you think the world functions. We’re completely one-sided to our very own set of experiences.”

One approach to tackle this issue is to peruse an assortment of books on a similar theme. Dive in from various points, take a gander at similar issue through the eyes of different creators, and attempt to rise above the limit of your own insight.

  1. Peruse It Twice

I’d prefer to wrap up by getting back to a thought I referenced close to the start of this article: read the extraordinary books twice. The rationalist Karl Popper clarified the advantages pleasantly, “Anything worth perusing isn’t just worth perusing twice yet worth perusing over and over. Assuming a book is advantageous, you can generally make disclosures in it and discover things in it that you didn’t see previously, despite the fact that you have perused it commonly.”

Moreover, returning to extraordinary books is useful in light of the fact that the issues you manage change after some time. Certainly, when you read a book twice perhaps you’ll get some stuff you missed the first run through around, yet all things considered, new entries and thoughts will be pertinent to you. It’s just regular for various sentences to jump out at you relying upon your point throughout everyday life.

WHY SCHOOLS DON'T TEACH ABOUT MONEY

      MONEY HOW TO MAKE IT?

HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED THE WORLD WITHOUT MONEY?

 TWO MINUTES IMAGINATION-HOO! IAM OUT OF CONTROL., AFTER TWO MINUTES,

COMING TO  REALITY., YES, OFFCOURSE NOT, RIGHT! WHAT IS IT ACTUALLY?

 AN EXCHANGE MEDIUM WHICH WE PEOPLE USE ON SURVIVAL BASIS IS CALLED MONEY.

WHAT SCHOOLS LACK?

                                                          

The term school is something which gives education. The ultimate learning process starts here. Nowadays schools teach us how to solve mathematical problems but not financial problems which comes to reality.
Something missing which is important and that must never be an optional one. Yes, that’s learning to make money AS MONEY IS ALWAYS ULTIMATE.

As, schools play a major part they are the ones who can guide growing children, but the sad truth is the Society knowingly or unknowingly plays an important role in our lives.

The theme is schools are framed by the government. If they make it compulsory No one is unable to stop that. 

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS

                                                                                   
Every human in the earth have problems, But when it is financial problems, people become mentally stressed a lot. It is only because of debts alone. If we scrutinize it the origin will be lack of knowledge in handling the financial problems.
Every year the suicide cases due to the financial problems are increasing in spite of pandemic as this is 2021, people actually don’t know how and what to do in toughest situation. Some seek advises from their nearby ones, Others face it without much care and some others are not serious at the initial stage as if nothing happened to them.

INDIVIDUALS NEED

It is schools responsibility to identify the individuals interest and upgrade children on the basis of learning along with life skills which plays an important role when they come into real life. 
Some may not like 9-5 work but they still work because they want money, their basic needs are to be satisfied.
On the other hand there are still people who don’t work regularly but still they have money and they have a demand more than their needs. How is this possible? They still learn to  earn money smartly and this is also not taught in schools. But still How? This is the most important question to be noted carefully.
Such kind of people think smartly on stocks, investments and on certain assets which always have an appreciated value.

HOW TO SOLVE IT?

Though many students are not interested in certain subject they are forced to learn it. But Finance being an important life skill and not taught in schools like how to handle it, really make a sense right!
They all needed to be sorted out carefully and taught at the being stage of our life. Off course, parents have an important responsibility to guide them in the financial aspects at the early stage of their life as conveying them their problems and how they are handling it. By doing so, they start thinking and generate ideas on their future investments.

THE CHANGES

The only things that is constant in the world is changes and that is called as the progress. The thing which we can give to our next generation is the financial learning. We can make them better by changing the vision which we tend to learn in our childhood but unfortunately we lack it.
As a next generation parents, its our responsibility to make our children to invest in value education and give them financial knowledge
Giving them financial skills and making that as a habit will surely make a drastic change in the society.
As we live in the 21st century we have technological in our hand. We can grow it with good vision and make our future generation financially stable.
YES, WE WILL START IT RIGHT NOW!




WILL POWER OF WOMEN IN THE WORLD

The future is about women .women leading the way for a better world where they can live fulfilling lives ,pursunig their individual dreams and those of their families .the tools of the 21st century connectivity ,access to knowledge ,access to each other -are tools that women can and do put to powerful uses women in positions of power are women who hold an occupation that gives them great authority ,influence ,and/or responsibility .the women will power refers to making women powerful to make them capable of deciding themselves .women have suffered a lot through the years at the hands of mean.in earlier centuries ,they were treated as almost non-existence .as if all the rights belonged to men even something as basic as voting.as the times evolved ,women realized their power .there on began the revolution for women empowerment.as women were not allowed to make decision for them ,women empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air.it made them aware of their rights and how they must make their own place in society rather than depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things cannot simply work in someone’s favor because of their gender. However ,we still have a long way to go when we talk about the reasons  why we need it .india is almost the countries which are not safe for women .there are various reasons for this. Firstly ,women in india are in danger of honour killings. Their family thinks its right to take their lives if they bring shame to the reputation of their legacy .more over ,the education and freedom scenario is very regressive here .women are not allowed to pursue higher education ,they are married off early .the men are  still dominating women in some regions like its the women’s duty to work for him endlessly .they do not let them go out or have freedom of any kind .women have naturally power and abilities .these innate characteristics affect the intellectual ,cultural ,spiritual , emotinal sociopolitical ,and inter personal world of men with different outcome and with detrimental results to both genders.by leaving behind the boundaries of family and society ,giving rights to women from all aspects of decisions ,rights ,thoughts ,mind etc., is to make them independent .many agencies of united nations in their reports have emphasized that gender issue is to be given utmost priority.it is held that women now cannot be asked to wait for any more for equality. The women will power is the most powerful thing to change our hole world.

            

“Be that strong girl that everyone knew would make it through the worst. Be that fearless girl the one would dare to do anything. Be that independent girl, who doesn’t need a man. We cannot say all Men have awesome will power or all Women have awesome will power. Will power is not classified based on gender. In most of out lives we need some trigger to get this Will power. All of us are capable of having strong will power. Its just that we take ourselves for granted.

It’s so important for women self-esteem and also for societies. Empowering women is to give women the right. Women can have equal right to participate in education, society, economy and politically. Women can involve in society as they are glad to choose their religious, language, work and other activities.

IMPORTANCE OF CHILDHOOD AND HOW TO MAKE IT MEMORABLE

Responsibilities constitute a major part of the life of an adult being. When a person starts to grow, responsibilities on his shoulders do too. But what about life before adulthood? How about responsibilities at that stage of life? Minimum. Hardly exist.
Childhood is a really fun part of life; not for all though. Unfortunately, some lose their childhood due to family situations which may include poverty or the death of the breadwinner.
But this article focuses on the positives of childhood. What are the impacts of a good childhood on an individual and how can one make the childhood of their near and dear ones the best phase of their life.
The beauty of childhood lies in the number of open choices we have and the carefree nature that we possess. As a child, we live in a world full of imagination. Everybody aspires to become ‘somebody’ but alas, only a few can pursue them as adults.
Also, as children, we share a special kind of bond with our parents. It is nowhere assumed that a special bond cannot be shared between adults and their parents but as we grow, so do responsibilities and we get more engrossed in our work and life. But as children we can wholly devote ourselves to spending time with parents and family; play video games, indoor games, and going out for picnics.
Stories of ghosts and snakes and rats that may take us with them are something we all must have heard. Though these are cherished later if not meted out properly, they may negatively impact the child even causing depression or them becoming anti-social.
All parents love their children and are always there to help. But this help should be careful for they may become dependent entities. Some children are helped to such an extent by their parents and they start believing that be any it any phase of life, someone will be there to assist them. This degrades the quality of their life. While helping out a child is a good and caring gesture, the child must also be taught to do things all by himself. Sure he will make mistakes but those must be corrected with affection and not harsh treatment such as giving them a beating or scolding. Doing this may develop anger issues and self-doubt in them resulting in a not-so-appreciable personality.
While caring is important, some people link the ‘healthiness’ of a child to the amount of bulk present. They keep on feeding them without any physical exercise which impacts the child both physically and mentally.
This indeed is a beautiful phase and must be made special and memorable for every child out there. Laws banning child labor and free education to all children coupled with necessary physical exercise must be incorporated in schools and institutions.
When we grow, we have a lot of tasks at hand. Sometimes we do not even care about our health and spend sleepless nights busy with work. It is these memories that we often remember and brings a smile. To bring this smile, everyone must have an amazing childhood, shouldn’t they?

Elizabeth Holmes – the ultimate girl boss?

Elizabeth Anne Holmes was born on 3rd February 1984, is a former American businesswoman who was the founder and the chief executive of Theranos, which was a health technology company. Elizabeth Holmes was born to Christian Holmes IV, who was a vice president for an energy company that when bankrupt who later dipped his toes in politics, while her mother Noel Anne was a congressional staffer.

The company claimed that, via small amounts of blood, various blood tests could be carried out and people could be tested for various diseases. Elizabeth Holmes was only 19 when she founded the company in 2003 after dropping out of Stanford University. Theranos raised more than US$700 million from investors, which lead to a 10$ billion valuation in 2013-2014.

The company claimed to develop technology that could conduct microscopic blood volumes. the blood was collected via a finger prick and transferred to the nanotainer which was a blood collection vessel. And the analysis machine was called ‘Edison’. It was named after Thomas Edison.

A turning point in 2015 came when medical research led to an investigative journalist led to make sure the validity of Theranos’ technology.

Nutrition and Nutrients

Nutrition is the science that deciphers the supplements and different substances in food corresponding to support, development, multiplication, wellbeing and infection of a living being. It incorporates ingestion, retention, absorption, biosynthesis, catabolism and discharge. The eating regimen of a living being is the thing that it eats, which is to a great extent controlled by the accessibility and acceptability of nourishments. For people, a solid eating routine incorporates readiness of food and capacity strategies that protect supplements from oxidation, warmth or draining, and that lessens danger of food-borne ailments.

In people, an undesirable eating regimen can cause deficiency related infections, for example, visual impairment, pallor, scurvy, preterm birth, stillbirth and cretinism, or supplement overabundance health compromising conditions, for example, weight and metabolic disorder; and such normal ongoing foundational illnesses as cardiovascular sickness, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Undernutrition can lead to wasting in acute cases, and the stunting of marasmus in chronic cases of malnutrition.

The seven significant classes of human supplements are sugars, fats, fiber, minerals, proteins, nutrients, and water. Supplements can be assembled as either macronutrients or micronutrients (required in little amounts).

Human nourishment manages the arrangement of basic supplements in food that are important to help human existence and great wellbeing. Helpless nourishment is a persistent issue regularly connected to neediness, food security or a less comprehension of sustenance and dietary practices and poor information about supplements needed by the body at different phases of life to forestall insufficiency of supplements in body which can effect-sly affect body. Lack of healthy nutrients and its results are huge supporters of passings, actual deaths and physical illness around the world. Great sustenance is really important for kids to develop physically and intellectually, and for typical human organic turn of events. The human body contains synthetic mixes, for example, water, starches, amino acids (found in proteins), unsaturated fats (found in lipids), and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). These mixes are made out of components, for example, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Any investigation done to decide healthful status must consider the condition of the body when tests, just as the compound piece of the entire eating regimen and of the multitude of materials discharged and eliminated from the body.

WHAT ARE NUTRIENTS?

A nutrient is a substance utilized by a creature to endure, develop, and recreate. The necessity for dietary supplement admission applies to creatures, plants, growths, fungi, and protists. Supplements can be joined into cells for metabolic purposes or discharged by cells to make non- cell structures, for example, hair, scales, plumes, or exoskeletons. A few supplements can be metabolically changed over to more modest atoms during the time spent delivering energy, for example, for starches, lipids, proteins, and aging items (ethanol or vinegar), prompting final results of water and carbon dioxide. All creatures require water. Fundamental supplements for creatures are the fuel sources, a portion of the amino acids that are joined to make proteins, a subset of unsaturated fats, nutrients and certain minerals. Plants require more assorted minerals retained through roots, in addition to carbon dioxide and oxygen assimilated through leaves. Parasites live on dead or living natural issue and address supplement issues from their host.
Nutrients might be natural or inorganic: natural mixes incorporate most mixes containing carbon, while all different synthetic substances are inorganic. Inorganic supplements incorporate supplements, for example, iron, selenium, and zinc, while natural supplements incorporate, among numerous others, energy-giving mixes and nutrients.

Plant nutrition

Intake of nutrients into the body by an organism is called nutrition.All the nutrients required by organisms are obtained through the food they consume.Plants use inorganic minerals for nutrition. Complex interactions involving weathering of rock minerals, decaying organic matter, animals, and microbes take place to form inorganic minerals in soil. Roots absorb mineral nutrients as ions in soil water. 

Organisms differ in their modes of nutrition.There are mainly two modes of nutrition.

⚫ Autotrophic nutrition

⚫ Heterotrophic nutrition

⚫ Autotrophic nutrition

In autotrophic nutrition,the organism synthesizes its own food.Organisms which are able to synthesize their own food materials are called autotrophs.They convert carbondioxide and water into various organic compounds with the help of energy.Depending on how the plants obtain energy for converting Carbondioxide to organic compounds,they are classified as:

⭐ photo autotrophs

⭐chemo autotrophs

⭐ Photo autotrophs

All green plants are photo autotrophs.These are organisms which use energy from sunlight for the synthesis of food.Examples also include some bacteria like green sulphur bacteria, purple Sulphur bacteria.

⭐Chemo autotrophs

Organisms which use chemical energy for the synthesis of carbon compounds are called chemo autotrophs.They get energy by oxidizing simple inorganic compounds such as hydrogen,sulphur containing compounds, hydrogen sulphide and ammonia.E.g.Nitrosomonas bacteria.

⚫ Heterotrophic nutrition

Some organisms cannot synthesize their own food.They depend on other organisms for their food directly or indirectly.Organisms which are not able to synthesize their own food are called Heterotrophs.

Heterotrophic nutrition is of two types:

⭐ Saprophytic nutrition

⭐Parasitic nutrition

⭐ Saprophytic nutrition

Plants which obtain nutrition from dead or non living organic matter are called Saprophytes.e.g.monotropa

⭐ Parasitic nutrition

In parasitic nutrition,an organism derives its food from the body of other living organism(host).These plants are called parasitic plants.They have special structures which penetrate the host and absorb food,water and minerals.These special structures are called haustoria.eg:cuscuta

⭐ Symbiotic nutrition

When two organisms live together,they exchange nutrients and are benefited mutually.Such type of nutrition is called Symbiotic nutrition and the organisms are called symbiots.e.g.Rhizobium

TEACHER’S DAY

Celebrating Teacher’s day at school is one of the finest memories from the school days. With no doubt, we can say everyone will agree with it.

Teachers’ Day is celebrated to honour the memory of India’s first Vice President and to commemorate the importance of teachers in our lives.

The idea of celebrating Teachers’ Day took root in many countries during the 19th century; in most cases, they celebrate a local educator or an important milestone in education.

SARVEPALLI RADHAKRISHNAN

Why We Celebrate Teachers Day On 5th September?
5th September is the birth anniversary of a great teacher Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was a staunch believer of education and was a well-known diplomat, scholar, the President of India and above all, a teacher.

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan ( 5 September 1888 – 17 April 1975) was an Indian academic, professor, philosopher, and politician who served as the first Vice President of India (1952–1962) and the second President of India (1962–1967).

What is education according to Radhakrishnan?
Education, according to Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, is acquiring of knowledge beyond what is academic and professional. Education is the assimilation of values and ideas for character building and preparing to face life’s challenges.

” A life of joy and happiness is possible only on the basis of knowledge and science.”

3) World Emoji Day

We use emojis to expresses emotions, feelings, or messages which we can’t put into words. Emojis make our communication easier and more vibrant. In 1999, the first emoji was created by a Japanese engineer, Shigetaka Kurita, who worked in a mobile operating company. He created 176 emojis for the release of an integrated service i-mode.
In 2010, Unicode approved the usage of emojis.

Fun fact: The calendar emoji Depicts the date July 17 to celebrate its existence.

Jeremy Burge, the founder of Emojipedia, declared 17 July as the World Emoji Day in 2014.

4) World Lottery Day

Lotteries are believed to have come into existence since the 15th century. They were mainly used to help economically weaker sections by providing them food and clothes. It was also used to fund the defense forces. Although in present times, it is banned and illegal in some places. Others have their stakes high.
Massachusetts State Lottery founded National Lottery Day in 2018.
This day is used to encourage this sector and to give special offers to mark its origin.

5) National Tattoo Day

The word “tattoo” is derived from the Polynesian language for tatau, which means “to tap or to mark.”  A tattoo is a form of art wherein we mark our treasured moments or quotes to remember.
We can consider tattoos as an individual’s self-expression and sometimes tells you things that matter to the person who adorns them.
The culture of body ink dates back to Egyptian and ice mummies which reveals several forms of symbols and status.
Although the history of celebrating Tattoo day is unclear, it is being officially celebrated since 2016

Remains of the day

Introduction: In this article, I’ll be examining the ideas of dignity, loyalty and nobility that the novel explores.


The novel Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro is a reflective novel. It explores many themes but the one I am going to elaborate about is the theme of dignity, loyalty and nobility. In this novel, the tone is controlled, the language is carefully crafted, and the themes revolve around the position of the individual within a society. The story takes place in July 1956, the same month and year as the Suez Crisis. The novel portrays the decline of the aristocracy and of the practice of keeping a large staff of house servants on English estates. It is staged alongside the histories of Great Britain and Europe in the years preceding and following World War II.
In the novel, the first person narrator, Stevens is a butler on the verge of retirement who takes on a journey to meet his former coworker, Miss Kenton. He also tries to come into terms with his past by remembering the time he spent in Darlington hall.

Idea of dignity:
Stevens’s Idea of dignity is one of the central themes of the novel. Stevens’s definition of dignity is quite different from that of the usual meaning. On one hand where dignity is referred to as being honourable and worthy, Stevens Idea is to completely suppress his emotions which leads to him losing Miss Kenton forever. To him, this kind of ‘dignity’ is the highest Ideal. He believes to be a great butler, one needs to have dignity which one can strive for throughout their career. He believes in professionalism which cannot be compromised at any cost and that’s what makes a great butler, but also adds that the ‘lesser butlers’ who don’t understand dignity will be swayed by the luxuries and etc and forget their professionalism. The fact that his idea of dignity is so misguided is sad because we are aware that he has always wanted great things from life but fails to take the right path in order to achieve his goals.
Stevens Idea of dignity is to follow all orders even if one doesn’t agree with it. For instance, Lord Darlington had ordered all the Jews to be stripped from their post and even though Stevens felt that it was an atrocious step to take, he still believed that following that order would be the right thing to do as he is a dignified professional. He knew that it was wrong and yet carried out because of blind loyalty.

Theme of loyalty:
We can see the theme of loyalty in Stevens by witnessing the way he always followed his employers orders even though he knew some were wrong. Mr. Stevens is so ingrained in his job to please his employer he almost becomes detached from his own self and becomes an extension of Lord Darlington. People always mentioned that his blind loyalty was like being a slave to Lord Darlington but he refused to believe all of it as he thought he was just being loyal to his employer. Stevens makes great sacrifices to dedicate his life to his understanding of dignity and professionalism. We can also see how his choice to blindly be loyal to Lord Darlington takes a toll on him and he breaks down in front of a stranger as he cannot even state that the mistakes were his but he is aware that it’s his employers which makes him a bit sad. It was clear that Lord Darlington sympathised with the Nazis and was Hitler’s pawn in a diplomatic game to influence the British government. Even after being aware of this fact, Stevens remained loyal and stated that Lord Darlington was not a bad man but was just a victim to politics.
Stevens says that Lord Darlington was a courageous man. He chose a path in his life which he thought was right and even though it was a misguided one, he chose it for himself. He says, that’s something he can never say about himself. He always followed orders and did what was expected of him and due to that his personal life was lost. The blind loyalty makes him wonder about his life choices.

Theme of nobility:
We can also see the theme of nobility in the novel. His role as a servant is fixed within the hierarchy of social classes left over from the Victorian and Edwardian eras. As a butler, his duty demands to be loyal to Lord Darlington. He followed his fathers footsteps who was also a butler as it was a tradition of service without families. His position and duties as a butler are defined by the rules and customs that bind the servant class. The class conditions under which Stevens serve are rigid. It says that marriage interferes with service and If one is interested in marriage, they have to first quit the job and Stevens always strives to meet these standards. Later in life he realises that it was a grave mistake and he should’ve just followed his heart.
