What is 5G

Wireless communications systems use radio frequencies (also known as spectrum) to carry information through the air.

5G operates in the same way, but uses higher radio frequencies that are less cluttered. This allows for it to carry more information at a much faster rate. These higher bands are called ‘millimeter waves’ (mmwaves). They were previously unused but have been opened up for licensing by regulators. They had been largely untouched by the public as the equipment to use them was largely inaccessible and expensive.

While higher bands are faster at carrying information, there can be problems with sending over large distances. They are easily blocked by physical objects such as trees and buildings. In order to circumvent this challenge, 5G will utilise multiple input and output antennae to boost signals and capacity across the wireless network.

The technology will also use smaller transmitters. Placed on buildings and street furniture, as opposed to using single stand-alone masts. Current estimates say that 5G will be able to support up to 1,000 more devices per metre than 4G.

5G technology will also be able to ‘slice’ a physical network into multiple virtual networks. This means that operators will be able to deliver the right slice of network, depending on how it is being used, and thereby better manage their networks. This means, for example, that an operator will be able use different slice capacities depending on importance. So, a single user streaming a video would use a different slice to a business, while simpler devices could be separated from more complex and demanding applications, such as controlling autonomous vehicles.

There are also plans to allow businesses to rent their own isolated and insulated network slice in order to separate them from competing Internet traffic.

Who Invented the Fifth Generation Network?

The first nation to adopt on a large scale was South Korea, in April 2019, at which point there were some 224 operators in 88 countries around the world investing in the technology.

In South Korea, all the 5G carriers used Samsung, Ericsson and Nokia base stations and equipment, apart from one who used Huawei equipment. Of these suppliers, Samsung was the largest, having shipped 53,000 base stations from a total of 86,000 base stations installed in the country at the time.

There are currently nine companies that sell 5G radio hardware and systems for carriers. These are Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung and ZTE.

Fearless Girl Adalia Rose!

There are times when we want to give up on everything. We feel so worthless in terms of our work or our appearance etc that we indulge in unhealthy habits or maybe we all just accept very easily that our existence won’t matter. There are times when we all just accept all of such things very easily.

 We stop to appreciate smallest of things which sometimes makes us smile or the people who actually value us. We choose to prioritize our past and present which for most of us might be painful. In other words, we all stop living by complaining or whining most of the times instead of feeling blessed that we got to live each day! 

Some people are so sure that they will live longer that they have their whole future planned out and these people generally don’t make most of their present! They are often worried about their career or marriage or  living a luxurious life etc. The thing is  that they don’t realize is that any day could come where anyone could die as future is very unpredictable.  According to me, thinking about the future is important but making most of the present is important too!

Knowing about Adalia Rose

Lets meet one of the bravest girls in the world who could actually help us or guide us in viewing our life with a new lens !  Her name is Adalia Rose. She is a 14 year old girl  who lived in  Round Rock,  Texas, United States.

                                                                   

She suffers from Progeria.  According to Slideshare, Progeria is an
extremely rare, fatal genetic condition that affects children and gives them an
appearance of accelerated aging. The word Progeria comes from the Greek rogeros
meaning prematurely old.

According to The Famous people, the children suffering from progeria are
born healthy and remain so for the first 10 to 24 months of their life. After
this they start to show signs of aging at a very fast rate.

This disease causes the body to grow older approximately six to seven times
the normal rate. Though she has the mind of a normal teenager and acts like one
but she looks like a small old lady seventy to eighty years old.

Her condition didn’t stop her from enjoying her life with full of happiness,
hope and joy. She is a free- spirited girl who is currently a social media star!
She loves her family a lot and even makes videos with them.

She is not at all embarrassed about her condition and is vocal about it! She
motivates other people and faces her problems fearlessly and believes in living
her life to the fullest!

According to The Famous People, she has more than 12 million fans on her
facebook page and over 2.65 million subscribers on her YouTube channel.

The revenue generated from the videos are used for the research on the
causes of this disease and the treatment of other children affected by
‘progeria’.

The fearless girl!

The reaction of the people towards her appearance were mixed. Some supported
her, blessed her while others discouraged her for posting videos. Her face has even been compared to aliens and extraterrestrial beings . According to
the The famous people, she even faced cyber bullying and death threats on the internet!

That still didn’t stop her to live her life to the fullest and is still
vocal about her disease and still spreads awareness about the same fearlessly
by making lots of videos and through promotional appearances.

In the end of this article, like Adalia Rose, I would urge all the viewers
to make the most of their present, to be brave enough to know your worth and
not be influenced by other people, appreciating smallest things in life and
lastly, living your life to the fullest with lots of hope , love and
fearlessness!

 

 

 

 

World Lung Cancer Day 1-Aug 202|What others days are celebrated today.

World Wide Web Day, Sisters Day, International Childfree Day, Friendship Day, World Lung Cancer Day, Swiss National Day.

World Lung Cancer Day

2nd most common form of cancer and major cause of death around the world

Significance:

To raise awareness about the causes and treatment of lung cancer. The lack of sufficient research and funding has made Lung Cancer a deadly one. According to data collected by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 2.09 million deaths annually. New research and experiments continue to make breakthroughs in the study and treatment of lung cancer, it ranks among one of the lowest in terms of survival rate when compared to breast cancer or prostate cancer. It is majorly due to lack of funding and late detection.

Survival Rate: 22%

HIstory:


The campaign was first organized in 2012 by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies, in collaboration with the International Association for the study of Lung Cancer and the American College of Chest Physicians. They provide support to those who have been affected with lung cancer and who have survived it.

LCFA’s World Lung Cancer Day 2021 Hashtag:  #LivingWithLungCancer


The symptoms:

  • Laboured breathing
  • Coughing blood
  • Chest or back pains
  • a cough that doesn’t go away after 2 or 3 weeks.
  • Persistent breathlessness
  • Pain in the chest, back or shoulders that worsens during coughing, laughing or deep breathing.
  • Wheezing, cough with blood, and weight loss. (These symptoms often don’t appear until the cancer is advanced.)

The causes:

  • Smoking or being exposed to smoke.
  • Exposure to radon, secondhand smoke, air pollution, asbestos, diesel exhaust or certain other chemicals, tobacco products, industrial products (uranium, radiation, asbestos), and nutritional deficiencies.
  • long-term respiration of carcinogenic materials.

You can find legit donations nearby or on websites like these below. Lung cancer has very low funding compared to others. Amy amount of donation is going to save a life.

Other Days celebrated today.

International Childfree Day

It was created in 1973 in the United States by the National Alliance for Optional Parenthood, at the time the National Organization for Non-Parents (N.O.N.), under the name of Non-Parents’ Day. It has also been described as “a day of celebration worldwide for those couples who have faced criticism, ridicule, and rejection because they chose to be Childless by Choice.” The initiative, resurrected in 2013 by author Laura Carroll, also bestows Childfree Person of the Year.  The 2020 winners were Elizabeth Hintz, an American doctoral candidate who “has dedicated her professional career to understanding and normalizing childfree experiences”, and the Russian internet community “Childfree”, which “has helped so many people to find a point of support in so pro-child, so patriarchal Russian society.”

Friendship Day –

In India, Every first Sunday of August is celebrated as “Friendship’s Day”. Good friends play a huge role in our lives. They can be a sister, brother, parent, partner in crime and what not. This day is celebrated to bring us together and cherish each other’s company.

Swiss National Day –

It is inspired by the date of the Federal Charter of 1291, Pacte du Rütli, placed in “early August”, when “three Alpine cantons swore the oath of confederation” (Schwyz, Uri and Unterwald), an action which later came to be regarded as the founding of Switzerland.”  It has only been an official holiday since 1994. 1 August is celebrated each year with paper lantern parades, bonfires, hanging strings of Swiss flags, and fireworks. Since, 2014 the event format has changed with the motto Back to the roots

In Britain it is also Yorkshire Day, celebrating the country of Yorkshire.

World Wide Web Day –

The World Wide Web (WWW) was conceived in 1989 at the CERN lab in Geneva, Switzerland, as a way for scientists to share knowledge. It aims to remember Sir Tim Berners-Lee for bringing WWW into the world.

Jean Armour Polly, a librarian, is credited with coining the term surfing the web.

ADVANCE VERSION OF CHILD MARRIAGE IN INDIA

Earlier India was one of the most backward countries. No doubt it was rich in resources and rich metals like Gold and diamond and hence was known as 'Golden Sparrow'.
Since it was not so developed, the society and thinking of people was also backward. Most of the population lived in the remote areas and hence circumference of their development was restricted.
Whenever a society is in the phase of underdevelopment, the section which suffers the most is the women class.
Women in India till today, despite this much development, are suffering and considered as a burden by many.
In the ancient period when Marwari rulers were ruling in some parts of the country, and the Mughals arrived, the Sati system was prevalent in the society.
Under the Sati system if a husband dies while fighting a war, or even by natural death, a wife too has to die with her husband. She has no right to live life further. She would sacrifice herself by jumping into the bowl of fire or on his funeral pyre.
After man, woman cannot live, she has to end her life. How can one be brutal towards someone? Sometimes if any of the woman didn’t want to die she was forced by the society to commit suicide.
Women were forced to live in the house to serve the family under purdah. She wasn't allowed to eat first, or along with the family members.
Today women themselves have adopted this system as their culture. They won't eat food until their husband does. That time it may be done forcefully, but today they have adapted it.
Women in one or the other way have to suffer a lot, because society has put so many rules and regulations on the women, from which they cannot come out. The system of Indian society is so dominating today even on the literate women.
Earlier child marriage was so normal. Every second girl was married at the age of 10-15 years. It didn't matter how old the boy was, he may have been a 35 year old man.
Education was not a priority in earlier times. Girls were not sent to school to receive education and hence at the age of 10 they were taught to work at home and then get married.
A time came when the Sati system was abolished from the society, which was a relief for the women section, but still she was never relieved.
When a girl after child marriage or a woman becomes a widow, again she was given a life worse than jailer. She was imprisoned in a room with a beam of sunlight. She was offered food separately. She had to live alone. She was neither allowed to meet anyone nor allowed to attend any family function. She wasn't allowed to marry another man, if she wanted to. The remaining entire life she had to live like she had no existence in the society.
This was the system made by the people of the society and everyone forced each other to follow it. What if someone doesn't follow it who the hell they are to beat, or to implement rules and regulations on anyone? This is what every individual needs to think about.
This was the system of the ancient period and slowly the thinking towards widows improved. The system of child marriage was also abolished, but as the history is the evidence that, Indian society cannot leave it's roots no matter how much it develops and adopts western culture.
Now the society has brought a new culture to the market. People don't do child marriages of their girls. They do child engagement in which at the age of puberty she is booked for a man or a boy. This becomes a symbol that the girl is now eligible for marriage. She is stopped from going to school. She learns the household chores and isn't allowed to come out of the house until she gets married.
After a few years as soon as she is near the legal age of getting married, they get married. Did anything change? No. Despite laws in the Constitution nothing changed. The only difference is they follow the criteria of legal age. The basic rights are still not given. The system continues to be the same.
The above mentioned case is in one section of society which I have seen first hand. There can be many other sections which are unknown where girls might be facing worse conditions than this.
Whenever a girl is born in the family, the first thought that comes in the mind of the members specially parents is how we will get her married. In India people worship goddesses, but when they come to know the gender of the baby in the womb and if it's a girl they decides for abortion. The level of hypocrisy is too high.
No matter how educated a family is, how much society says that women are equal to men, no matter how many laws and privileges given to a woman, except few parents , all say that we have to get our girl married. They consider their girl as a burden, not everybody but the majority. Parents work, earn and save because they have to get their two girls married. It doesn't matter how capable the girl is, at the end they just have to get her married. Is marriage the sole purpose of life? I wonder.
We are saying that the standard of women has improved. As compared to earlier times, it has improved a lot. But the true development is only when every woman and every section of society enjoys equal rights to that of man, not only in the field of education and basic rights but the equality at ground level, in behavior, in consideration and in preferences.
The ancient roots of evil society are very strong in India. We have adapted that evil system as our culture and don't want to rise above it. We are proud of our culture rather than questioning it. If we don't follow our culture and do something different, it is said that we are being influenced by the western culture.
The roots are too deep and strong. It would need centuries to uproot them. The struggle is so long and hard that not everyone wants to fight.

Superstitions

In this scientific era of the many discoveries and inventions, science making the impossible possible with the blink of an eye fixed , there’s no place for superstition. Science and superstitions are poles apart. Yet they’re the 2 sides of an equivalent coin unknown of their interdependence.
Superstitions are self-imposed selfish beliefs, something imaginary yet unimaginable disbelief, or mere beliefs. But science – the foremost well-known and popular word of this era. Science as is believed to be something realistic which even makes the unreal real; the unachievable achievable.
But still, these two unrealistic and realistic, unimaginable and imaginable, never-ending and ever ending concepts are interconnected somewhere beyond the universe by some unpredictable threads of God.
1. Eat curd and sugar before heading out Eating curd and sugar before stepping out for something new and important is taken into account to be good luck because the consumption of curd features a cooling effect on the stomach and sugar which is added provides instant glucose which makes your work easier and successful. This combination is indispensable for Indians and its consumption was slowly linked to good luck.
2. Don’t wash or cut hairs on certain days Washing or cutting hairs on certain days like on Tuesdays or Thursdays are considered to be bad luck but there’s no truth during this because it was one among the water management practices. And moreover, during those days, barbers got a vacation on those days. So, just to offer them a vacation people don’t cut hairs on those days.
3. Swallow tulsi leaves never chew
Tulsi leaves shouldn’t be chewed, it must be swallowed. The science behind his is that the tulsi leaves contain a touch amount of arsenic. Thus, chewing it directly could end in degradation of enamel.
4. Bathe after attending a funeral ceremony Earlier bathing was necessary after attending a funeral ceremony but today it’s not like earlier as our ancestors didn’t have vaccinations against smallpox, hepatitis and other deadly diseases. So they came up with this ritual of bathing so on prevent themselves from infection from the body .
5. Menstruating women are considered impure and unclean: during a country like India, it’s very prevalent and this gave rise to several other superstitious beliefs. At that point women weren’t allowed inside the kitchen, temples, mosques, and other religious spots. They are not allowed to perform any household duties. The reason is that at that time of your time women are comparatively weak due to tons of blood loss. So, they are given complete rest. Moreover, ancient stone statues of God maintain a particular equilibrium with the atmosphere and should collapse if any disturbance occurs. As women release tons of warmth during this era , they’re not allowed inside the temple since this might cause a disturbance within the natural equilibrium and should result in cracks in the idols.
6. Lizard falling on human is bad luck
It is said to be bad luck but the scientific reasons behind this is often that the lizard releases poisonous chemicals from its body so as to guard themselves from enemies and if it falls on physical body or food, it’s sure to contaminate it. So, bathe is taken after it falls on someone.
7. Using lemons and green chillies to avoid buri nazar The nimbhu mirchi tadka is one among the commonly visible superstitions among the society whose use is usually encouraged due to the qualities of lemon and chillies as they both are rich in several vitamins Ad create certain acidic odour which helps prevent insects. Thus, our ancestors used this as a logo during ceremonies which now became a tadka.
8. Bats entering the house means death it’s considered to be a nasty omen. The real reason behind this superstition is that the bats bring tons of deadly diseases along side them and when there was no medical facility available during those days, people would die thanks to rabies, Ebola, Nipah and other illness brought in by the illness.
9. Ghosts residing in peepal trees
This myth continues to prevail even today. But the scientific reason behind this is often that the trees use CO2 during the day and releases oxygen but in the dark , it’s the opposite way round. So, once you sleep under the tree, the surplus CO2 level can cause you to feel heavy within the fist and suffocated which is related to the sensation of being possessed by some spirits.
10. Throwing coins in fountains and rivers bring good
Most currencies in past were made from copper and by throwing copper coins into rivers, our forefathers apparently ensured that they were consuming pure water. Science has it that copper has antimicrobial property and it can kill 99.9% of infection-causing bacteria. However, today neither can we use copper coins nor can we drink water directly from the river. This belief has brought in additional pollution than good luck.

Is time travelling possible

Time travel has always been one of the biggest fantasies for all of us. It is generally thought as something fictional. It can be actually defined as the movement between certain points of time. Albert Einstein introduced a theory that if a person can move at a very high speed then time will be slowed down for him. Light moves very fast with a speed as high as 670,616,629 miles per hour. In just one second, light can go around the earth three times. The only way to achieve time travel is by traveling at the speed of light in space. Light always travels at the same constant speed in a vacuum 700 million mph.

Quick Facts: –

  • There are several paradoxes like twin paradox and paradox of a man with no past riddled with the time travel making the concept very complicated.
  • Despite all these complexities, it is believed by physicists that there are chances of time travel in the future.
  • Famous scientist Stephen Hawking claimed that time travel was impossible.
  • In the year of 2000, a person identified himself as John Titor and claimed to be a military time traveler.
  • Time is the fourth dimension along with the other three which are length, height, and width.
  • Going back to the past by time traveling is known as Retrocognition. It is also very much difficult to prove.
  • Travelling to the future using the concept is known as Precognition. It gives you knowledge of future events before they happen.
  • A time traveler was caught on a picture available on the Virtual Museum of Canada website

Stephen Hawking

Stephen Hawking, in full Stephen William Hawking, (born January 8, 1942, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England—died March 14, 2018, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire), English theoretical physicist whose theory of exploding black holes drew upon both relativity theory and quantum mechanics. He also worked with space-time singularities.

Hawking studied physics at University College, Oxford (B.A., 1962), and Trinity Hall, Cambridge (Ph.D., 1966). He was elected a research fellow at Gonville and Caius College at Cambridge. In the early 1960s Hawking contracted amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, an incurable degenerative neuromuscular disease. He continued to work despite the disease’s progressively disabling effects.

Hawking worked primarily in the field of general relativity and particularly on the physics of black holes. In 1971 he suggested the formation, following the big bang, of numerous objects containing as much as one billion tons of mass but occupying only the space of a proton. These objects, called mini black holes, are unique in that their immense mass and gravity require that they be ruled by the laws of relativity, while their minute size requires that the laws of quantum mechanics apply to them also. In 1974 Hawking proposed that, in accordance with the predictions of quantum theory, black holes emit subatomic particles until they exhaust their energy and finally explode. Hawking’s work greatly spurred efforts to theoretically delineate the properties of black holes, objects about which it was previously thought that nothing could be known. His work was also important because it showed these properties’ relationship to the laws of classical thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.

Hawking’s contributions to physics earned him many exceptional honours. In 1974 the Royal Society elected him one of its youngest fellows. He became professor of gravitational physics at Cambridge in 1977, and in 1979 he was appointed to Cambridge’s Lucasian professorship of mathematics, a post once held by Isaac Newton. Hawking was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1982 and a Companion of Honour in 1989. He also received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society in 2006 and the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. In 2008 he accepted a visiting research chair at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.

His publications included The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time (1973; coauthored with G.F.R. Ellis), Superspace and Supergravity (1981), The Very Early Universe (1983), and the best sellers A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes (1988), The Universe in a Nutshell (2001), A Briefer History of Time (2005), and The Grand Design (2010; coauthored with Leonard Mlodinow).

5 common mistakes students do during their college life while losing weight

Trying to shed the pounds and keep them off for good? I’ve rounded up the most common mistakes which college guys make during their weight-loss journey. They are usually busy with their studies so they don’t think twice about following any health tips or exercises given from any source.

Related: 5 common weight loss mistakes you’re probably making

1. Overestimating your calorie burn


Running eats up more calories than most other activities: the average man burns around 120 calories per Km and the average woman burns 105, but you can undo all your good work on a 5K, for example, with something as simple (and tempting) as a chocolate-chip cookie and a sugary coffee.

Correction: Get a better estimate of your calorie burn with an online calculator or a GPS watch or fitness tracker that allows you to input your height, weight, and other stats. If you tend to indulge after a run, avoid cancelling out your hard-earned calorie deficit by choosing ‘reward’ foods with easily controllable portions, such as single-serving snacks.

2.Running on empty



You may have heard this one: hit the road without breakfast and your body will burn fat. But it doesn’t always work that way. Rather than seeking out fat immediately, your muscles first use carbs that have been stored in your muscles as glycogen. When those stored carbs run out and your body starts to burn fat, your energy drops, forcing you to slow down and burn fewer calories than if you’d properly fuelled up.

Correction: If you’re heading out for 30 minutes or less on an easy run, you can skip a pre-run snack, since you probably have enough glycogen to power you. But if you run longer or harder, you should have a 100-200-calorie snack about an hour before your run. Choose carbs and a bit of protein, such as a banana with peanut butter, and drink water to hydrate.

3. Mid-race feasting



Addicted to mid-run refuelling? You may be piling on more calories than you need from energy bars, gels, drinks and shakes. ‘Calories from mid-race fuels are dense and don’t do much to suppress hunger.

Correction: For runs shorter than 60 minutes, skip the gels and sports drinks – water is just fine.

4. Not refuelling post-run



After tough workouts, such as long runs or speed work, your muscles will be hungry, but you may not be; many runners find their appetite is suppressed just after a workout. ‘But when your body realises its glycogen stores are low, you’ll feel much hungrier, leaving you prone to eating too much.

Correction: Refuel within an hour of tough or long workouts. A 3-to-1 ratio of carbs to protein is ideal, and ensure this snack contains no more than 300 calories. At around 250 calories per serving, chocolate milk fits the bill nicely.

5. Drowning in calories



Calories in a glass count just as much as those on your plate. Alcohol is particularly sneaky: according to the AIIMS New Delhi, the average wine drinker in India takes in around 2,000kcal from alcohol every month, while drinking five pints of lager a week adds up to 44,200kcal over a year. Add in calories from soft drinks and fruit juice, and you could be overdoing it. Studies show that, in general, liquid carbs don’t contribute to satiety the way solids do. That means if you are down 200 calories at the bar, you won’t compensate by eating 200 fewer calories at dinner.

Correction: Most of the fluid you drink should be calorie-free: water, diet soft drinks, unsweetened tea. Alcohol may trigger overeating as your inhibitions drop. Moderate drinking means one a day for women, two for men, cut calories by choosing light beer, wine or spirits mixed with soda.

Steve jobs

Steve Jobs, the American businessman and technology visionary who is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc, was born on February 24, 1955. His parents were two University of Wisconsin graduate students, Joanne Carole Schieble and Syrian-born Abdulfattah Jandali. They were both unmarried at the time. Jandali, who was teaching in Wisconsin when Steve was born, said he had no choice but to put the baby up for adoption because his girlfriend’s family objected to their relationship.

The baby was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993) and Clara Jobs (1924–1986). Later, when asked about his “adoptive parents,” Jobs replied emphatically that Paul and Clara Jobs “were my parents.” He stated in his authorized biography that they “were my parents 1,000%.” Unknown to him, his biological parents would subsequently marry (December 1955), have a second child, novelist Mona Simpson, in 1957, and divorce in 1962.

The Jobs family moved from San Francisco to Mountain View, California when Steve was five years old. The parents later adopted a daughter, Patti. Paul was a machinist for a company that made lasers, and taught his son rudimentary electronics and how to work with his hands. The father showed Steve how to work on electronics in the family garage, demonstrating to his son how to take apart and rebuild electronics such as radios and televisions. As a result, Steve became interested in and developed a hobby of technical tinkering. Clara was an accountant who taught him to read before he went to school.

Jobs’s youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. At Monta Loma Elementary school in Mountain View, he was a prankster whose fourth-grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school—a proposal his parents declined. Jobs then attended Cupertino Junior High and Homestead High School in Cupertino, California. During the following years Jobs met Bill Fernandez and Steve Wozniak, a computer whiz kid.

Following high school graduation in 1972, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Reed was an expensive college which Paul and Clara could ill afford. They were spending much of their life savings on their son’s higher education. Jobs dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18 months dropping in on creative classes, including a course on calligraphy. He continued auditing classes at Reed while sleeping on the floor in friends’ dorm rooms, returning Coke bottles for food money, and getting weekly free meals at the local Hare Krishna temple

In 1976, Wozniak invented the Apple I computer. Jobs, Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, an electronics industry worker, founded Apple computer in the garage of Jobs’s parents in order to sell it. They received funding from a then-semi-retired Intel product-marketing manager and engineer Mike Markkula.

Through Apple, Jobs was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution and for his influential career in the computer and consumer electronics fields. Jobs also co-founded and served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired Pixar.

Jobs died at his California home around 3 p.m. on October 5, 2011, due to complications from a relapse of his previously treated pancreatic cancer.

Anatula Sudhakar v. P. Buchi Reddy

Statement of Facts

This appeal for special leave is by the defendant in a suit for permanent injuction. Puli Chandra Reddy and Puli Buchi Reddy were the plaintiffs in the said suit. Both the plaintiffs claimed to be the respective owners in possession of the said two sites having purchased them under two registered sale deeds dated 9.12.1968 from Rukminibai. When they were digging trenches in order to commence construction, the defendant interfered with said work. The plaintiffs filed a suit for permanent injuction to restrain the defendant from interfering with their possession. Defendant resisted the suit claiming that suit property measuring 300sq. yards in premises No. 13/776 was purchased by him from K.V. Damodar Rao, brother of Rukminibai. He had also obtained a loan for such construction from the Central Government by mortgaging the said property. According to him, when he commenced construction in the said property, the plaintiffs tried to interfere with his possession and filed a false suit claiming to be in possession.

Issues Raised

  1. Whether the plaintiffs are in exclusive possession of the suit sites?
  2. Whether the defendant has interfered with the possession of the plaintiffs over the split plots?
  3. Whether the plaintiffs are entitled to permanent injunction? And to what relief?

Critical Analysis

A step in the right direction was taken by the High Court in its judgement of Anatula Sudhakar V. P. Buchi Reddy. The High Court by its judgement dated 18.1.1991 allowed the second appeal and restored the judgement and decree of the Irial Court and consequently held that plaintiffs had established their title in regard to the two vacant sites purchased by them and drew an inference that possession was presumed to be with them by applying the principle of possession follows title. The HC also held that it was not necessary to plaintiffs to sue for declaration of title, as the question of title could be examined incidental to the question of possession.

There was some confusion as to what circumstances the question of title will be directly and subsequently in issue in the suit for injunction simpliciter. In Vanagri Sri Selliamam Ayyanar Uthirasomasundareswarar Temple V. Rajanga Asari AIR 1965, Madras High Court considered an appeal arising from a suit for possession and injunction. The defendant contended that the plaintiff had filed an earlier suit for injunction which was dismissed, and therefore the plaintiff was precluded from agitating the issue of the title in the subsequent title suit, being barred by the principal of res judicata. It was held that the earlier suit was only for injunction and the averments in the plaint did not give rise to any question necessitating denial of plaintiffs title by the defendant, and as the earliest suit was only concerned only with possessory right and not title, the subsequent suit was not barred. There are several decisions taking similar view that in a suit for injunction, the question of title does not arise or would arise only incidentaly or collateraly, and therefore a subsequent suit for declaration oof title would not be barred. The judgement by the High Court has stated an effective decision and restoring the decree of the trial court in favour of the plaintiffs that the plaintiffs and their witnesses gave evidence to the effect that Damodar Rao represented that his sister Rukminibai was the owner of the plot and negotiated for the sale of the several portions thereof in favour of the plaintiffs. Further, where title of plaintiffs is disputed and claims for possession is purely based on tiltle, and the plaintiffs have to rely on various principles of law relating to ostensible ownership and section 41 of TPA, validity of an oral gift by way of ‘Pasupu Kumkumam’ under Hindu Law, estoppel and acquiescene, to put forth a case of title, such complicated questions could properly be examined only in a title suit, that is a suit for declaration and consequential reliefs and in a suit for an injunction simppliciter.

State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal and Others

Statement of Facts

The first Respondent was a minister and subsequently Chief Minister of Haryana State. Later he became Union Minister. Bhajan Lal at the same time of the case was the Union Minister of Environment and Forests and Devi Lal was elected as the Chief Minister of the State of Haryana. In the same election Respondent 2, Dharam Pal lost the election against Smt. Jasma Devi, wife of Bhajan Lal . Owing to various political rivalries and institutions of various criminal cases there was a lot of bad blood between Bhajan Lal and Devi Lal. Consequently, Respondent 2 placed a complaint before the CM, Devi Lal against Bhajan Lal where he alleged that Bhajan Lal possesses disproportionate property or pecuniary resources compared to his indefinite sources of income. It was also alleged that the accumulation of that much property was far beyond his legal means. Special officer on duty in CM’s secretriat passed the message to the office Director General of Police stating that the CM has sought appropriate action in the said case. The complaint was further passed on to the Superintendent of Police (SP) asking for the necessary measure to be taken and report back. The SP asked the SHO (Station House Officer) to register the case and investigate. Subsequently, a case was filed under Sec. 161 and Sec. 165 of the IPC and Section 5(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act in November 1987. The copy of the FIR was then sent to the magistrate and the investigation was started.

Issues Raised

  1. Whether just the allegations are enough to constitute a cognizable offences and give the power of investigation to the police?
  2. Whether the action of investigating on the part of SHO on just the order of one word “investigate” from SPis enough as per Sec. 5 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947?
  3. Whether the HC was justified in quashing the FIR and criminal proceedings and acted under the ambit of Article 226 of the Constitution and Sections 482, 154 and 157 of Cr.P.C., and to what extent the orders suffer from legal infirmity?

Critical Analysis

Cases of corruption against politocal leaders in India are not rare. This is one of such case that notified the alleged corruption carried out by a significant political figure leading to registration of a case against him by his rival. Inevitably the suit underwent the question of legitimacy that led to the appearance of the same before the SC. The case holds importance as it significantly points out the powers and limitations of various authorities at different points of time throughout the trial of matter. It re-emphasized the power of investigation that police hlods and in what nature of cases, the necessity of filing an FIR, and the extent to which High Courts should use their special power of quashing Criminal proceedings. The case re-established that our Constitution is based on the concept of Rule of Law which serves as an aorta of governance in our democratic system and no one or authority is higher than law and that law is supreme. Everybody exclusively and on the whole is undeniably under the authority of law irrespective of the wealth and power they possess. The case likewise relooks at the complete and resultant backlogs of evils like corruption that exist in our country. Therefore this parasite of bribery if not battled against all fronts and at the levels checked and completelly removed, will destabilize the very establishments of democracy and erode the foundations of rule of law and make the whole administration ineffectual and broken.

Ouija Board

The Ouija Board was invented within the early 1890’s by William Fuld. It is now sold by Parker Brothers. An Ouija may be a small board with various symbols printed on its surface. These symbols include all letters of the alphabet, the numbers 1 to 9 and 0 and therefore the words yes and no. A smaller board, shaped sort of a heart, called a planchette or pointer is employed to direct the answers.
Two or more people rest an Ouija on their laps and press their fingers lightly on the pointer. One of them asks the board an issue . The pointer supposedly answers by indicating a word or variety or by spelling out words. According to people that believe the Ouija , spirits guide the pointer. Others think the fingers of the questioner influence the pointer. There are basic guidelines that ought to be followed for using Ouija boards. If any of you’re willing to undertake one you ought to inspect a number of the safe things to try to to to guard yourself or anyone else from possible harm. As many of us improvise an Ouija as a game, it’s always best to guard yourself. Where there’s no protection from evil forces extremely frightening things can occur. Sinister messages are often spelt out, claimed to return from the devil. As to prove that nobody person is purposely pushing the pointer, tales are told of all removing their fingers except one and therefore the pointer continuing to whiz around in manic fashion – or of the pointer jumping up within the air or hurling itself off the table and smashing. Also evil spirits are known to lie around who they’re tricking the users into further danger.
You have to be the judge of the knowledge you receive. To believe everything that comes through on the board simply because it’s from the opposite side is extremely gullible and is like believing everything that you simply read within the newspaper or see on TV. If your mind tells you there’s something wrong, there probably is. If the knowledge you’re getting seems new you, compare it with other channeled material and see if you’re comfortable with it. The important point to recollect here is LIKE attracts LIKE. Ouija boards work , but the type of beings you’re likely to draw in is directly associated with the extent of spiritual development of the participants and their intent. Remember an Ouija is simply a tool for contact which relies on no practice, learning or spiritual development to form it work. It’s like dialing a random central and hoping for the simplest . However, with practice, learning and spiritual development the probabilities of getting through to the proper person are greatly increased.
If used properly, the Ouija are often a positive tool to creating new friends and gathering information. However, you should not just stop there and rely on the board. Work on your own spiritual development and this may not only enhance your use of the board, but may render it obsolete – while at an equivalent time improving your whole life.

Spirituality

Many folks have explored Spirituality in our own ways. Although this quest is extremely individual (i.e., we all have our own personal definition of Spirituality), it’s collective in spirit. This is because Spirituality in people’s minds is synonymous with an enquiry for meaning, for purpose and direction in life.
In Sanskrit, Spirituality or Spiritual science it’s called Paravidya (Supreme science), while all other sciences are called Aparāvidyā meaning inferior science. By ‘science’, we mean modern science. Rationalists and most of the people think that science and Spirituality are two separate disciplines. However, Spirituality is that the knowledge of infinity, that is, knowledge of all subjects. It covers the entire physical world and therefore the subtle unseen world, all the physical and spiritual regions, all physical and subtle frequencies, energies and vibrations, all positive and negative entities and every one living beings and non-living beings within the whole Universe. Spirituality contains all the knowledge and memory of the past, present and future, from the start to the top of the Universe.
Spirituality is that the capacity of persons to transcend themselves through knowledge and love, that is, to succeed in beyond themselves in relationship to others and thus become quite self-enclosed monads.” Spirituality may be a dimension of a person’s being that’s actualized as a life project and practice. Spirituality may be a developed relationality instead of a mere capacity. It is not generic. For example, we will distinguish during a qualitative sense between a healthy and rigid spirituality, even within a spiritual tradition. A spirituality is as unique as a personality is exclusive . Spirituality can be religious or secular. A secular spirituality remains a “relationship between what one truly is and everything that is” (Peter Van Ness). A religious/secular spirituality, according to Schneiders, is “the experience of conscious involvement in the project of life integration through self-transcendence toward the ultimate value one perceives.” Generally, the term spirituality is that the human capacity for self transcendence, no matter whether that have is religious or not. Here, the activity of the human spirit, not Holy Ghost , could also be the reference. The fact is that no religion has complete ownership of the term spirituality as it once had with reference to the Holy Spirit, the product of a religious tradition. There are definite qualities of the word spirituality which are made clear in today’s secular and non secular uses of the word. First, it denotes an experience. It is not abstract idea, or theory or movement. It is, however, a personal-lived reality with both active and passive dimensions. It is something that is experienced. Secondly, it is an experience of a conscious involvement in a project. It is not temporary, but an ongoing and coherent approach to life, always consciously pursued. Thirdly, it involves one’s whole life as an integrative process. It is not a short lived attitude, but rather an attitude about life that others model. It involves a life-integration, mind and body, emotions and thought, activity and passivity, social and individual aspects of life. Spirituality promotes an integrated synthesis of ongoing growth and development. Fourthly, spirituality pursues a uniform self-transcendence toward ultimate values. It is positive and not negative in direction. It excludes narcissistic egoism and self-destructive behaviors and thoughts. There must be a self-transcendent quality which is ultimate. This may include personal or social well-being, the good of the earth, justice for all or union with God as an ultimate value. In a culture without a self transcendent attitude in the form of gratitude, humility, awe and some form of a spiritual outlook, healing personal growth and well-being are often compromised.
Regardless of who we are and where we come from – our got to experience happiness in our lives drives all our worldly pursuits. This need is common to all or any folks no matter cultural background, religion, gender, social or financial status, etc. However, through spiritual research, we have found that on average people experience happiness only 30% of the time.
One of the most reasons we experience unhappiness is thanks to problems in life. Everyone knows about the physical and psychological causes of problems in life. However, what many folks don’t know is that problems that are physical or psychological in nature can have a spiritual root cause. This means that albeit a drag is primarily thanks to spiritual reasons, it can manifest as a physical or psychological problem.
