Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, (born April 14, 1891, Mhow, India—died December 6, 1956, New Delhi), leader of the Dalits (Scheduled Castes; formerly called untouchables) and law minister of the government of India (1947–51).

Born of a Dalit Mahar family of western India, he was as a boy humiliated by his high-caste schoolfellows. His father was an officer in the Indian army. Awarded a scholarship by the Gaekwar (ruler) of Baroda (now Vadodara), he studied at universities in the United States, Britain, and Germany. He entered the Baroda Public Service at the Gaekwar’s request, but, again ill-treated by his high-caste colleagues, he turned to legal practice and to teaching. He soon established his leadership among Dalits, founded several journals on their behalf, and succeeded in obtaining special representation for them in the legislative councils of the government. Contesting Mahatma Gandhi’s claim to speak for Dalits (or Harijans, as Gandhi called them), he wrote What Congress and Gandhi Have Done to the Untouchables (1945).

In 1947 Ambedkar became the law minister of the government of India. He took a leading part in the framing of the Indian constitution, outlawing discrimination against untouchables, and skillfully helped to steer it through the assembly. He resigned in 1951, disappointed at his lack of influence in the government. In October 1956, in despair because of the perpetuation of untouchability in Hindu doctrine, he renounced Hinduism and became a Buddhist, together with about 200,000 fellow Dalits, at a ceremony in Nagpur. Ambedkar’s book The Buddha and His Dhamma appeared posthumously in 1957, and it was republished as The Buddha and His Dhamma: A Critical Edition in 2011, edited, introduced, and annotated by Aakash Singh Rathore and Ajay Verma.

🔹️A computer is a machine that can be programmed to accept data (input), and process it into useful information (output).

🔹️It also stores data for later reuse (storage). The processing is performed by the hardware.

🔹️The computer hardware responsible for computing are mainly classified as follows:

🌟Input device
🌟CPU
🌟Main memory
🌟Secondary memory
🌟Output devices

Input devices allows the user to enter the program and data and send it to the processing unit. The common input devices are keyboard, mouse and scanners.

The processor ,more formally known as thr central processing unit (CPU), has the electronic circuitry that manipulates input data into the information as required. The central processing unit actually executes computer instructions.

Memory from which the CPU fetches the instructions and data is called main memory. It is also called as primary memory and is volatile in nature.

Output devices show the processed data – information – thr result of processing. The devices are normally a monitor and printers.

Storage usually means secondary storage, which stores data and programs. Here the data and programs are permanently stored for future use.

The hardware devices attached to the computer are called peripheral equipment. Peripheral equipment includes all input, output and secondary storage devices.

Asteroids are small, atmosphere-less rocky objects orbiting the Sun. Here are 10 things that you might not know about these planet-like celestial bodies that can crash into the Earth and create havoc.

10 Things You Need to Know about Asteroids:

1. They were Created at the Same Time as the Earth:

Many astronomers believe that asteroids are rocky leftovers from the formation of the Solar System 4.6 billion years ago. One theory is that after the Big Bang, dust particles came together to form celestial objects through a process called accretion – smaller objects came together with other small objects, creating larger space rocks. Some of these celestial rocks were able to grow large enough to develop their own gravity and became planets. Many others were held back from getting together by Jupiter’s gravitation force. These became asteroids.

Because they revolve around the Sun like planets do, asteroids are also sometimes called planetoids or minor planets.

2. Most are Found in One Area:

Of the millions of asteroids that inhabit our solar system, a majority can be found in a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This region is called the Asteroid Belt.

3.A Very Lonely Area:

Imagining the Asteroid Belt as in the movies – a small strip of space littered with huge rocks intent on mowing down your space ship?

Well, imagine again because the Asteroid Belt is nothing like that. In fact it is a very lonely place for an asteroid. Astronomers estimate that the average distance between two asteroids in the asteroid belt is about 600,000 miles (966,000 km). This is about 2.5 times the distance between the Earth and the Moon. That is a lot of space between two neighboring asteroids!

4. Not all of Them Reside in the Belt:

While most of the known asteroids live in the Asteroid Belt, there are many that orbit the Sun outside this belt. For example, Trojan Asteroids, named after the Trojan Wars in Greek Mythology, follow the orbits of a planet. Jupiter has two clusters of Trojans following its orbit around the Sun – the one ahead of the planet is called the Greek Camp and the one behind is known as the Trojan Camp.

In 2010, scientists discovered the first Trojan Asteroid, 2010 TK7, that follows the Earth’s orbit.

Asteroids that are pushed close to the Earth’s orbit are known as Near Earth Asteroids.

5. They Come in Different Sizes:

Asteroids can measure anywhere between a few feet to several hundred miles in diameter. The largest asteroid known to man, Ceres, is about 590 miles (950 km) in diameter.

Astronomers estimate that if all the asteroids in the Solar System were put together, the size of the resulting rock will be much smaller than our Moon!

6. And Yet, some Asteroids have Moons:

About 150 Asteroids are known today to have one or more moons orbiting them. The most famous of these is Dactyl, a small moon orbiting Ida, an Asteroid Belt asteroid.

7.They can be Classified According to their Composition:

Most Asteroids fall into one of three groups based on their composition: C, S and M types. The composition is determined by how far the asteroid was from the Sun during the time of its formation.

About two-thirds of all asteroids are thought to be C type asteroids. These asteroids are very dark, with an average albedo of about 0.06 and are thought to have a similar composition as the Sun. They can be found in the outer regions of the Asteroid Belt

S type asteroids are considerably brighter with an average albedo of 0.16. These asteroids are usually found in the inner regions of the Asteroid Belt and are composed of iron and magnesuim silicates.

M type asteroids can be found in the middle of the Asteroid Belt and are much brighter than an average albedo of 0.19. These are mostly composed of Iron.

8.This makes Asteroids Attractive to Miners:

Asteroid mining? That is no longer in the realm of science fiction. Asteroids are rich sources of metals like Iron, Platinum and Titanium, metals that humans use daily to build and create things. In addition, scientists believe that water present on the surface of these asteroids could be broken down and used as fuel for space vehicles.

While asteroid mining hasn’t started yet, many companies around the world have started exploring the idea seriously.

9.Close Encounters of the Asteroid Kind:

The Earth’s atmosphere acts as a shield protecting us from meteoroids and other objects that populate space. When a meteoroid enters the atmosphere, it usually burns up before hitting the surface of the Earth. If any part of the meteoroid survives and hits the surface of the Earth, it is called a meteorite.

What are Meteor Showers?

Sometimes however larger space objects collide with the Earth’s atmopshere and impact the surface of the Earth. Scientists have identified about 100 sites on Earth that may have been impacted by a large asteroid or comet.

While no humans have been killed due to a meteorite in recent history, there is some worry among the scientific community about the possiblity of a large asteroid impact and the effect it may have on human life.

10. An Asteroid may have Killed the Dinosaurs:

In fact, there is a theory prevalent among the scientific community that it was an asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs. Many scientists believe that the epicenter of the mass extinction of the dinosaurs lies in the Chicxulub Crater, an impact crater that was discovered under the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.

How do we make ourselves better?

this question comes in our mind a lot and we look for the answer everyday.

But it is true that change is the law of life. Which we can’t change.
And every person keeps changing on his own according to the change of life and change happens automatically, even a people cannot do anything in it. for example:
We liked many things in our childhood, but now we will not like them at all.

But Self-Improvement does not happen like change. We have to make many efforts to become better ourselves and do certain things to become a better version of himself. And it is not necessary that we can make ourselves better in the same field. We can improve ourselves in every field.

For example, you can become better in studies, you can become a good parent, you can become a good son and daughter, You can become a good person, you can become a good employee in your job that your payment will increase, You can become a good sport, you can be better at languages, you can be better at many things or a field that you like.

That’s why self-improvement is about knowing your limits.
Self-improvement is a way of transforming your weaknesses into your strengths and self-improvement can happen at any age and there is no age to learn, we can learn anything whenever we want.

And there is no time limit to learn anything Because if a person takes 5 to 6 months to learn something, then someone learns sooner.

There comes some time in life that we do not like ourselves, then there is more desire in our mind to become better ourselves. We see our shortcomings and when we see a better person than ourselves So these questions come a lot in our mind that we are lacking and now we have to become better.

You have to know your shortcomings, what you do not know, where you are lacking, only then you will be able to improve yourself. if you know your goal, you can improve what you want to do, improve what you lack. Make a time table out of your time And if you are learning something and you don’t understand it, take help of teachers or people who know something about them who can teach you. make someone your inspiration And when you are learning something, look at it every day to see how much you have learned, how much progress you have made in your work.

If you do all this, then you are succeeding in trying to be a better yourself.

And we should never give up if we learn one thing and if we learn it then we should learn something else Because by this we are making ourselves better but we are also learning a lot.

Humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting, pollution, habitat destruction, introduced of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, overhunting, and other influences. … Several species have also been listed as extinct since 2004.

Diminished resources or introduction of new competitor species also often accompany habitat degradation. Global warming has allowed some species to expand their, range, bringing unwelcome competition to other species that previously occupied that area.

Extinctions happen when a species dies out from cataclysmic events, evolutionary problems, or human interference.

The truth is, scientists don’t know how many species of plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria exist on Earth. The most recent estimate put that number at 2 billion, and that will most likely change at some point.

One thing we do know : The western black rhinoceros, the Tasmanian tiger, and the woolly mammoth are among the creatures whose populations at one point dwindled to zero, and it’s possible that species extinction is happening a thousand times more quickly because of humans.

Extinction happens when environmental factors or evolutionary problems cause a species to die out.

The disappearance of species from Earth is ongoing, and rates have varied over time. A quarter of mammals is at risk of extinction, according to IUCN Red list estimates.

To some extent, extinction is natural. Changes to habitats and poor reproductive trends are among the factors that can make a species death rate higher than its birth rate for long enough that eventually, none are left.

Humans also cause other species to become extinct by hunting, over harvesting, introducing invasive species to the wild, polluting, etc..

Memory refers to the processes that are used to acquire, store, retain, and later retrieve information. There are three major processes involved in memory: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Human memory involves the ability to both preserve and recover information we have learned or experienced.

The term memory denotes a specific brain function of storing and retrieving of informations related to experiences.Tge duration of memory varies from few seconds or hours,to several years.

Types of memory

⭐Sensory memory:It means the ability to retain sensory signals in the sensory areas of the brain for a short interval of time following the actual sensory experience.This is the initial stage of memory process.

⭐ Primary memory:It is the memory of facts,words, numbers,letters,or other information.The information in this memory is instantaneously made available so that a person need not search through his or her mind for it.

⭐ Secondary memory:It is the storage in the brain of information that can be recalled at some later time(hours,days,months or years later).This is also called long term memory,fixed memory or permanent memory.

Physiology of memory: Certain anatomical, physical or chemical changes occur in the pre synaptic terminals or perhaps in whole neurons that permanently facilitated the transmission of impulses at the synapses.

All the synapses are thus facilitated in a thought circuit.This circuit can be re excited by any one of many diverse signals at later dates thereby causing memory.The overall facilitated circuit is called a memory engram or a memory trace.

Amnesia: Amnesia means memory loss.It is the inability to recall memories from the past.

Glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, cloud forests are dying, and wildlife is racing to keep pace. It has become clear that humans have caused the warmth of the last century by releasing greenhouse gases as we energize our modern life. Called greenhouse gases, their levels are now higher than at any other time in the past 800,000 years.

We often call the result global warming, but it causes a set of changes in the Earth’s climate, or patterns of long-term climate, varying from place to place. While many people think of global warming and climate change as synonymous, scientists use “climate change” when describing complex changes now affecting our planet’s climate and climate systems — in part because some areas are actually cooling off in the short term.

Climate change includes not only rising temperatures but also extreme weather events, displacement of wildlife and habitats, rising sea levels, and other impacts. All of these changes are emerging as humans continue to add warmer air to the atmosphere, changing the rhythm of the climate that all living things rely on.

What can we do – what can we do – to reduce this man-made global warming? How will we cope with the changes we have already made? While we find it hard to find everything, the future of the Earth as we know the beaches, forests, farms, and snow-capped mountains.

Doesn’t the temperature change naturally?

Human activities are not the only thing affecting the world’s climate. Volcanoes and solar eclipses from solar dots, solar eclipses, and solar panels also play a role. So do extreme weather conditions, such as El Niño.

But the climate models that scientists use to monitor Earth’s temperatures account for those things. Changes in solar radiation and minute particles suspended in the air from a volcanic eruption, for example, have contributed to only about 2 percent of the effects of recent warming. The balance comes from greenhouse gases and other human-caused factors, such as changes in land use.

The short term for this latest warmth is in unity again. A volcanic eruption, for example, releases particles that temporarily cool the earth’s surface. But their effect lasts only a few years. Events like El Niño also work in shorter and unpredictable cycles. On the other hand, global warming, which has had a profound effect on ice, occurs over hundreds of thousands of years.

For thousands of years now, greenhouse gases have been emitted by natural gas. As a result, the concentration of greenhouse gases and temperatures was not stable enough, which allowed human civilization to flourish within a more stable climate.
