Teej Festival

The Teej festival is an important festival for married women, and much anticipated monsoon festival. It’s dedicated to celebrating the holy union of Lord Shiva and Goddess ParvatiAccording to Hindu texts, Parvati is an incarnation of Lord Shiva’s first wife, Sati. Lord Shiva became grief-stricken and withdrawn after she immolated herself in protest of her father’s disapproval of him. It took her 108 subsequent births to bring Shiva out of his meditative state and get him to accept her as his wife again. Her 108th birth was as Goddess Parvati. The invocation of Parvati’s blessing during the festival is believed to bring about continued marital bliss.

When is the Festival Celebrated?
“Teej” refers to the third day after the new moon and the third day after the full moon, every month. During the monsoon season, these festivals are celebrated on the third day of the waxing moon in the Hindu month of Shravan, and on the third day of the waning and waxing moons in the Hindu month of Bhadrapad. This means that there are actually three Teej festivals — known as Haryali (Green) Teej, Kajari.
Where is the Festival Celebrated?
The Teej festival is widely celebrated in northern and western India, particularly in the desert state of Rajasthan. From a tourist perspective, the best place to experience it is in Jaipur, where the festivities are the grandest and most renowned during Haryali Teej.
How is the Festival Celebrated?
Women come together to fast and pray all night. In the morning, they bathe to purify themselves, and dress up in their finest red saris and jewelry to worship Goddess Parvati. They also get their hands decorated with henna, accompanied by the singing of special Teej festival songs. Swings are fixed to branches of large trees, and the women take turns to joyfully swing on them. The Teej festival is a very uplifting occasion.

Tips to take care of health during monsoon

The monsoon season in India is an invigorating time, as it gives us a much needed break from the scorching heat which lasts throughout the year. The monsoon can be very refreshing but the heavy rains also provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes which can cause diseases such as malaria and dengue. Hence, it is extremely important to take care of your health and get an annual preventive health checkup. Here are a few monsoon health tips to prevent you from falling sick.

  1. Loading up on probiotics and vegetables
    Do not eat raw vegetables as they may contain bacteria and viruses which can lead to severe infections such as stomach pains, food poisoning, which is also a common summer disease, and diarrhoea. It is advisable to stick to boiled and steamed vegetables as they are healthy and contain a lot of proteins, fibre and other nutrients. This can help reduce skin conditions like acne which is common during the monsoon season. Consuming milk products such as yoghurt and buttermilk that are high in nutrition is also important to prevent illness during the rainy season
  2. Consuming bitter food
    Food such as gourd, neem seeds, dandelion greens and herbal teas can remove toxins and boost your immunity levels. These types of food are also rich in vitamins and minerals like calcium and iron which are essential for an individual to become healthy and strong. Since many people experience illnesses and allergies during the monsoon, building up immunity can go a long way in preventing them.
  3. Homemade fruit juices
    Homemade fruit juices such as apple and orange juice are not only delicious but also have a lot of health benefits to help prevent you from falling ill this monsoon. Apple juice helps clean up the toxins present in the liver and also increases pH levels and prevents any stomach issues. Orange juice is considered one of the healthiest beverages as it increases immunity, boosts metabolism and detoxifies the body. It also reduces the risk of diseases such as malaria and diarrhoea which is very common in the monsoon season.
  4. Use insect repellents
    Try to avoid walking on pavements and roads filled with excess rain water as these are breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Take proper precautions by using insect repellents and disinfectants such as neem leaves and cloves, which tend to reduce the risk of diseases caused by mosquitoes and flies.
  5. Showering twice a day
    Right after finishing up school or work, it is advisable to take a shower immediately to prevent infection from diseases that are predominantly caused by the buildup of excess sweat and dirt due to humidity. A hot shower can also feel invigorating during a cold monsoon day!
  6. Eat in moderation
    Consuming too much food during the rainy season is not recommended as the body takes a lot of time to digest the food due to the high humidity levels present during the monsoon season. Excess consumption of food can lead to bloating, acidity and indigestion. If you are trying to improve your digestion, consume food that has garlic, pepper and coriander. Stick to eating small meals once every couple hours.
  7. Avoid street food
    Eating street food during the monsoon season is not advisable as the vegetables and water used to make the food get exposed to constant humidity, pollution and contamination. One can get all sorts of diseases ranging from fever to stomach conditions as a result of these unhygienic conditions. It is also safer to drink water from sealed bottles as there is a lower chance of contamination.
  8. Cut out fizzy drinks
    Consuming fizzy drinks during the monsoon season is not recommended as they lower the mineral content in the body, which results in a decreased enzyme activity. This plays a significant role in the digestive system. Fizzy drinks also increase cholesterol levels and blood pressure, so it’s best to avoid them even after the monsoons!

If you want to remain happy and healthy this monsoon season, it is extremely important to follow the above pointers and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A great way to identify any symptoms and nip them in the bud before they get too serious is to get an annual health checkup. Visit Neuberg Diagnostics to get your preventive health checkup today.

Role of media in today’s World.

In today’s world, media has become as necessary as food and clothing. It has played a major role in strengthening the community. The media is seen as the “mirror” of today’s society, infection, is the media thing that sets our lives on fire.

The purpose of the media is to inform people of current, up-to-date news and to tell the latest gossip and fashion. It tells us about people who were geographically divided.

The role of the media has been one way of marketing and marketing products and discrimination. The media claim to be governed by justice and equality, but greed and self-enrichment have not diminished its beauty.
Media in possession of:
1 information
2 education
3 entertainment
4 ads
5 community meeting

The organization is influenced by the media in many ways. It is the media of assistants that help them find information on many things and build ideas and make decisions about various problems! It is the media that keeps people updated and informed about what is happening around them and the world. Everyone can find something in it.

The media has had a devastating effect on generation, especially since, adolescence is highly influenced by the media. Young people and children want to follow the people, who see themselves and do what they do to be noticed. At one point, they focused on the negative part of the media and tried to be part of it. However, many are not defeated by criminal life!

These are things that come to young people’s minds!

The media influence people’s opinion. Many media interventions are all a matter of concern. The media can be considered the “watch dog” of political freedom. Over the years, the media’s emphasis on the news has come. The media these days, they try to watch the news, which can help them sell the information collected around the world, so that they can make way for the success and fame of their channels. Fm radios, newspapers, information available on the net and television are many telephones that work to reduce the communication gap between listeners, viewers and the media world. Because of society and marketing, important statistics, their lifestyles are often directed. Insignificant and meaningless stories, often insignificant, are given first and foremost for one reason or another, they enter the minds of viewers and in many ways, important political, economic and social issues are ignored and little by little, they lose their value!

There is no doubt that the media has played a major role in making the world a global village and narrowing the gap between people living in remote areas but unfortunately, the media is now a FINANCIAL SECTOR, hearing hot news and barriers to sales.

I believe, if the media expresses its responsibility and works with integrity and honesty, then it can serve as a great force in nation building.

Police brutality; a serious issue

Recently one very disturbing news came to the public knowledge and caught the attention of social media users. Even though the highlight news of every day is only around the latest updates around the coronavirus, many other important issues are happening all over the world. One such issue is the case of JEYARAJ and PHEONIX, a father-son duo who was allegedly treated very ill by police and indeed caused their death. This happened in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, a town named SANTAKULAM near Thootukodi district. P Jeyaraj, 62, who worked at his mobile shop at Sathankulam town, was taken in custody on June 19 evening.

Jeyaraj allegedly made some critical remarks about a police patrol team on June 18 for insisting shop owners to shut shops early for lockdown rules. An auto driver had informed police about remarks and the police team had come the next day to take him in custody. After an agitated police team had taken Jeyaraj in custody, his son, J Pheonix, 32, followed the police team to the station.

At the Sathankulam police station, a senior police officer said, Pheonix saw his father being physically harassed by an officer. An agitated Pheonix questioned the officer, tried to stop the officer or pushed him to protect his father in his 60s. “It had provoked the police team; they thrashed both father and son for hours. There were two sub-inspectors and two constables in the torture team. A total of 13 officers were there at the station during the incident, including volunteers’ part of Friends of Police,” the officer said.

The alleged lockdown violation charge on Jeyaraj was something that would have got him a maximum of three months’ imprisonment if he was found guilty.

June 20. Jeyaraj’s family who waited outside the station till midnight got to see the father and son in the morning in “bad shape.” They were taken to the Sathankulam government hospital. Jeyaraj’s veshti and Phoenix’s pants were fully soaked in blood. They had to keep changing lungis at the hospital due to severe bleeding. Policemen asked the family to bring “dark colour lungis”.

After three hours at the hospital, they were then taken to Sathankulam magistrate court.

Joseph, Jeyaraj’s brother in law who witnessed the scene, said the magistrate waved his hand from the first floor of the building as the police team stood outside. Both were sent on remand to Kovilpatti Sub Jail in a few moments.

The family had no news about the father and son till June 22 evening, when they were shifted to the nearby government hospital. Due to continuous bleeding and severe external and internal injuries from alleged lock up torture, Phonix died late evening on June 22, and Jeyaraj died in the wee hours on June 23.

What action has been taken?

Even as two FIRs have been filed, no officer has been booked for murder charges. Following the outrage and protests, four police officers including two sub-inspectors have been placed under suspension. The station inspector has been transferred. A judicial inquiry is in progress, the post mortem report has been submitted to the Madras High Court in a sealed cover, and the court is waiting for a report from police.

The state government has announced a compensation of Rupees 20 lakh for the victim family. DMK’s Thoothukudi MP Kanimozhi declared a compensation of Rupees 25 lakh for the family.

Is there a communal angle in the picture?

Jeyaraj’s family belonged to the Nadar community. Multiple accounts from witnesses, relatives of victims and police show that the case had no direct communal angle but it was a brutal revenge by police officers, first for Jeyaraj’s alleged remarks against the police patrol team and for Pheonix’s alleged attempt to physically stop, push away, an officer who was beating his father.

This issue has brought light into something that was sweeped under the carpet for a long time. At least from now on there shouldn’t be any injustice and brutal behaviour from the police department.

Save Girl Child

The existence of human life on earth is not possible without the equal participation of women and men. They have the same responsibility for the survival of the human race on earth. And they are responsible for the development and growth of the nation. However, the presence of a woman is more important than men. Because without him we cannot imagine our existence. Therefore, in order to save people from extinction we must take steps to save the baby girl.

It is a common practice in India where people abort or kill a baby girl by birth. However, they should be saved and given equal opportunity, respect and the opportunity to move on in life. Besides, the future of civilization is in their hands because they are the root of our creation.

Why Does a Girl Need to Be Saved?

There are various evils in our society; one of them which happens to be the desire to have a boy. In Indian society, everyone wants a suitable mother, sister, wife and daughter. But they never wanted the girl to be her blood relative. Besides, there are other social ills that force many parents to avoid having a baby girl. These are some of the bad things in society that kill people, kill women and others.

What Can Girls Do?

Although girls are ahead of boys in many fields, people still choose a boy. Girls prove themselves better at every grade than boys. And because of their hard work and dedication, they have been in space again. They are more capable, obedient, hardworking, and responsible for their family and health. Besides, girls care deeply and have great love for their parents. Above all, they contribute 100% to all work.

The following are the steps taken by the Government of India to save the Girl Child

For baby girls the government has taken many steps and launched many campaigns to save it. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao (Keep the baby girl) is a very early initiative by the government to encourage people to save the girl. In addition, many NGOs, companies, corporate groups, the human rights commission are running a various campaign to save the baby girl.

Crime against women is a major obstacle to the development and growth of the country. However, the government takes this issue seriously and prevents female genital mutilation to prevent detection of sexual orientation, amniocentesis, and testing of tests in hospitals and labs. The government is taking all these steps that the public knows that girls are a gift from God and not a burden.

Our Participation

Saving a girl The first step begins with our home. We should encourage our family members, neighbors, friends and relatives to save themselves and let other people know about them. Also, we should be happy for a family member to have a baby girl instead of a boy.

Sweet are the Uses of Adversity”

When a man is doing well, he feels that the world is all good and pleasant. He hardly knows what suffering is or can be. Everything seems so rosy and cosy in life. But when one falls into adversity, one has to gird up his loins and face the realities, stand up to them and to fight them through.very cloud has a silver lining’ that is how a saying goes. Adversity Suffering and Poverty has also its advantages. Suffering brings out in man’s character his capacity to endure; his strength of character and his self- confidence.

When a man is doing well, he feels that the world is all good and pleasant. He hardly knows what suffering is or can be. Everything seems so rosy and cosy in life. But when one falls into adversity, one has to gird up his loins and face the realities, stand up to them and to fight them through.

There are some who would just surrender to sorrows and lose all courage and whine and weep they are the chicken hearted persons who crumble and crash with the little pressure. They hardly deserve to be a man. Those who stand up to face the misfortune are men of faith and fortitude they have faith in themselves and faith in God they know that even the worst turns into the best.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Life is a story of ups and downs that is how they take the moments or the period of adversity. Adversity also puts to test so many things. It puts to test your friends too. Prosperity wins friends, adversity tests them. True friends are those who would keep up their closeness even during the period of adversity of their friend.

Thus, adversity has its own ‘Sweet uses’ it puts to test a man’s own character; his courage and his confidence in himself as also it puts to test the world around. Life’s path has ruggedness too and that also has its lessons to give; if one walks on that path for some time and thereafter reaches the golden goal, how pleasant does that seem. One judges the goodness by contrast.

If the clouds are not dark the flash of lightening would not is dazzling. Misfortunes make the return of fortunes look so pleasant these are sweet uses of adversity.

A man often falls on evil days. He then generally curses his lot. False friends, that are many in number, may at that time of adversity will desert him. But the man in adversity should not lose heart. For to rely on others is to build on sand. One should really on one’s good right hand. For self-help is very often the best help.

In difficulty or crisis, the latent or sleeping powers of a man are evoked and called into play. With this awakened power, he can struggle hard to overcome his misfortune. Were he not in adversity, he would have no idea of his innate capacity and latent power. Scarcity of sugar during the War made the discovery of saccharin possible. Therefore, adversity is a blessing in disguise. Only during crisis, a man should not lose patience but carry on boldly and resolutely. Indeed, adversity has an effect on the character of a man.

REHABILITATION AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION

Juvenile or Children are a conflict with law referred to children under the age of 18 years and suspected or accused of committing a crime or be part of illegal activity. Children in conflict with law cannot be arrested by a police officer and can only be apprehended. Only minors between the age of 16-18 years committed heinous crimes can be treated and tried as adults.

The child in conflict with law cannot be tried in criminal courts and should be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board Chaired by a Magistrate and two social worker members. The idea of having social workers on the Juvenile Justice Board is to handle the child with concern to his/her future and to treat them with proper care.

The child in conflict with the law has the following rights based on the Child Rights Convention, humane treatment, no corporal punishment if detained separation from adult criminals at the correctional facility, access to legal assistance, bail and release on recognizance, privacy, diversion, (Education, skill development, sports etc.), proportionate judgment (age considerate Judgement), minimum possible restrictions on liberty, automatic suspension of sentence, probation on merit, confidentiality of proceedings, right against discrimination, constitutional rights.

The major concern on the detention of a child in conflict with law is to make him/her understand and repent for the crime committed. After the Juvenile Justice Board stipulated detention the child may be released on probation. Great care is required to reintegrate the Juvenile back into society. The rehabilitation of the child in conflict with the law has to be done with the considerations to his/her age, mental and physical makeup.

Childcare institutions and social welfare organisations work hand in hand with government nodal agencies to find constructive solutions to the rehabilitation of the Juvenile. To ensure this Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are laid down by the Ministry of women and child development. Follow up by social workers and probation or parole officer is done periodically to make sure the child reintegrate well into the society he/she was once barred from.

What is Rehabilitation?

The primary motto of punishment is to make the convict understand the grievous nature of the crime committed and regret his/her actions. Hence after the completion (full or partial) of the sentence, the convict has to be prepared to get back into society. The ex-convicts always viewed with a suspicious mind by the general public. Hence the ex-convicts should be prepared mentally and may be taught skill sets to improve their job ability.

Special programs to prevent substance abuse, improve mental health, continuing education was framed for sexual offenders, women parolees and children in conflict with the law. The importance slowly downgraded as the twentieth century progressed towards its end. It regained momentum as human rights concerns are high on the activists’ list.

How does rehabilitation for juveniles work?

While the juveniles held accountable for their violation of the law and kept in juvenile homes or other relevant correctional facilities for public safety, the primary aim is to rehabilitate them. The rehabilitative process includes psychological assessment of the crime committed by the juvenile and the environment, causing it to happen, therapeutic guidance, skill development, involving them in yoga and other mind developing activities.

Financial constraints of the government wade rehabilitation away and involvement of social workers and non-profit organisations resulted in cost-effective multi-modal rehab programs for the juveniles.

Kim Kardashian West addresses Kanye West’s mental health and asks for compassion

Kim Kardashian West has shared a message about her husband Kanye West and mental health.

In an Instagram Stories post on Wednesday, Kardashian West acknowledged that West has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and said it’s “incredibly complicated and painful” for many to understand.

“As many of you know, Kanye has bi-polar disorder. Anyone who has this or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand,’ she wrote. “I’ve never spoken publicly about how this has affected us at home because I am very protective of our children and Kanye’s right to privacy when it comes to his health. But today, I feel like I should comment on it because off the stigma and misconceptions about mental health.”

10 most important life lessons of life:

Life often gives us a number of valuable lessons that we often fail to recognize. We couldn’t realize or implement them at the correct moment offered to us. But let’s explore the most significant lessons that can strike ‘s hard through experience.

1. Money can never solve your real problems:

We people have become too engrossed to just get wealthy and gain more and more money to live life comfortably to satisfy our needs. Nevertheless, it’s not bad, but just to run out of money failing to experience life is inaccurate. We should learn to manage our lives in such a way that we love our lives through making some good and also enjoying this pleasant life.There are a lot of people living on so little, but they have beautifully satisfying and prosperous lives … and unfortunately there are a number of people living on quite a ton, but they also have extremely unhappy lives. That’s why we should realize that money is not the only remedy that can cure our real life problems.

2. Patience:

Often when we’re young, we ‘re just beginning our adulthood path and feel like we have to do it all at once. We have to determine something, organize our lives, encounter something, get to the peak, find true love, work out the meaning of our life and accomplish it at the same time. Slow down – don’t jump into things. Let the journey progress. Wait a little to see if you need it, and take the time to assess your options.

3.You cant please everyone

You don’t need to agree with anyone, or just with yourself. Seeking to participate, be loved, admired and appreciated is human nature, but not at the cost of your honesty and happiness. Some individuals can’t give you the affirmation that you’re searching for. It has needed to come from inside.Speak up, stick to your guns, assert yourself when you need to, demand respect, stay true to your values. This is What You Need to Do to Stop Being a People Pleaser.

4. Your Health Is Your Most Valuable Asset

4. Your wellbeing is the most valuable commodity 

Health is an important treasure — they are still cherished, nurtured and secured. Good health on young people is often discarded until they get a opportunity to understand it for what it’s worth. 

They prefer to take for granted our healthy wellbeing, because it is there alone. We don’t have to think about it, but before we have to, we don’t even pay attention to it …until we have to.

Heart disease, bone density, stroke, many cancers—the list of many largely preventable diseases is long, so take care of your health now, or you’ll regret it later on.

5. You Don’t Always Get What You Want

“Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” – John Lennon

No matter how well you prepare and how diligently you are trying, plans still just don’t turn out the way you expect them to… and that’s all right.

We have all these expectations; fixed dreams of what our “ideal” future would be like, but all too frequently that isn’t the truth of the life that we wind up living. Our plans struggle occasionally and we just adjust our mid-course minds occasionally. We have to flop occasionally to follow the correct path and sometimes even attempt a several items before we choose the best route.

6. It’s Not All About You:

You are not universe epicenter. It is really difficult to view the world from beyond your own viewpoint, because we are all too focused on what is going on with our own lives. What am I obliged to do today? What does it say to me, to my job and to my life? What is it then that I want?

It’s natural to be deeply conscious of all that’s going on in your own life, but you’ve got to pay as close attention to what’s going on around you, and how things impact other people around the community as you do your own. It allows problems remain in balance

7. There’s No Shame in Not Knowing:

No-one figured it all out. No one will have all the solutions. There’s no guilt in thinking “I don’t remember.” Don’t pretend to be flawless makes you happy. Only maintaining the false illusion of artificial excellence up is making you obsessive.We have an feeling that in acknowledging our shortcomings, or uncertainly, there is a form of shame or embarrassment, but we may not know exactly. Still, we just commit errors and screw it up. That’s it, we grow as we move. 

So besides — no one wants to know-it-all. A small amount of weakness keeps you alive and just so much more important.

8. Love Is More Than a Feeling; It’s a Choice:

The explosion of immediate anticipation, pulse-fuelled love and passion doesn’t last long. Yet this doesn’t say you can’t have long-lasting passion. 

Love is not just an emotion; it is a choice you make every day.We will chose to let inconveniences pass, to forgive, to be compassionate, to be polite, to be loyal, to love. 

Relationships involve ensuring work completed. This is pleasant at times and extremely challenging at times. In a relationship, it is up to us to chose how we want to behave, think and communicate.

9. Perspective Is a Beautiful Thing:

Typically, when we’re worried or upset, it’s because we’ve lost perspective. Everything that is happening in our lives seems so big, so important, so do or die, but in the grand picture, this single hiccup often means next to nothing.The battle we ‘re struggling with, the work we didn’t get, the real or potential rejection, the sudden desire to change direction, the thing we needed but didn’t get. All of this is not going to apply in 20, 30, 40 years. If all you think is short term, it’s impossible to consider long term, so when it’s life-threatening, let it go, and carry on.

10. Don’t Take Anything for Granted:

We often don’t appreciate what we’ve got until it’s gone: that includes your health, family and friends, your job, the money you’ve got or think you’ll get tomorrow. 

It feels as though your parents should just be around while you’re young but they won’t.You believe you have plenty of time to get back into touch with your old friends, or spend time with new ones, but you don’t. You’ve got the money to invest, so you think you’re going to get that this month, but maybe not. 

Everything about your life, even everyone you love, is not expected to be around forever. 

And here’s a hard-to-learn life lesson, but maybe the most important of all:

Life can change in an instant.

Make sure you appreciate what you have, while you still have it.

IIT Madras develops an alloy of Magnesium in a research project with American Institutes

By Udbhav Bhargava

Researchers from the following 3 organizations have developed an engineered magnesium alloy with significantly improved properties.  Indian Institute of Technology Madras, University of North Texas, and  U.S. Army Research Laboratory. 

Declined industrial application – The need to develop Magnesium

The current industrial application of wrought magnesium alloys in structural components is very limited due to their;

  • Poor strength
  • Poor ductility
  • Yield strength asymmetry
  • Lack of high strain rate super-plasticity.
  • The density of Mg is 2/3rd of aluminium and 1/4th of steel

Description of scientific terms

Ductility is a measure of the capacity of a material to endure substantial plastic deformation until breaking or rupture.

The yield strength or yield stress is a material property and is the stress that corresponds to the yield point at which the material begins plastically deforming itself. The yield strength is used to calculate the maximum permissible load in a mechanical device, as it represents the upper limit of forces which can be applied without permanent deformation. A material will bend elastically until the yield point, and return to its original shape when the stress applied is removed. After reaching the yield point, some fraction of the deformation is permanent and non-reversible, and is known as plastic deformation.

Approach of the research team, the scientists used a magnesium alloy containing elements of rare earth such as Gadolinium (Gd), Yttrium (Y), and Zirconium (Zr). To produce an ultrafine grained variant of this magnesium alloy, the alloy was subjected to a thermo-mechanical processing technique (severe plastic deformation and ageing treatment).

The team then developed the nano-precipitates and ultrafine intermetallic compounds in the ultra-fine-grained magnesium alloy which were thermally stable. Using this method, the group has been able to achieve the highest combination of strength-ductility and highest super-plasticity strain rate of all the current magnesium alloys recorded in the literature to date.

The new engineered alloy is – 

  • Strong
  • Lightweight
  • Highly ductile
  • Its super-plasticity is achieved at higher strain-rates.

Why is this development significant? 

Such properties minimize overall time, energy and costs of manufacture. Vehicle emissions account for around 27 per cent of global emissions of carbon dioxide. Countries all over the world are focused on growing these. The reduction of the carbon emissions of vehicles by using lightweight material in their body has been a primary priority of the researchers. Light-weight vehicles require less energy (fuel) to run, and are thus one of the methods to improve the energy efficiency of automobiles. The new Magnesium alloy in automotive and aerospace parts will replace steel and aluminum alloys.

India’s first Dolphin Observatory.

By Udbhav Bhargava

An observatory to allow visitors to see Gangetic Dolphins in the Vikramshila Gangetic Dolphin Sanctuary would be established shortly. People could watch Dolphins in the river aquatic activities from an observatory tower to be constructed as part of the Sultanganj-Aguwani Ghat Bridge in Bhagalpur, Bihar. The observatory on four storeys will be 40 feet high, with the bridge passing through its centre.

The observatory building will be transparent, with glass from all sides to ensure that the dolphins can be watched without disturbance. The observatory ‘s structural architecture is such that it supports eco-tourism. There would be no deleterious or negative impact on the ecology of the river, as the observation deck is being built on a bridge over the Ganga.

The Gangetic dolphin-Platanista gangetica Indus river dolphin-Platanista gangetica minor The Ganges river dolphin is found primarily in the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers and their tributaries in India , Bangladesh, and Nepal. The Indus river dolphin is now only present in the main Indus River canal, and in Punjab in the River Beas. The gangetic dolphin is both the national Aquatic animal of India and the National Mammal of Pakistan (Indus Dolphin). These dolphins breathe after rising to the surface and locate objects through echolocation. They prefer water depth greater than 5ft and maximum of 8fts. This range corresponds to the depth range, where they can feed on enough fish. They live in an area where little to no current exists which helps them to save energy. They can dive into deeper waters, if they feel threatened. The dolphins swim up to the edges from the no-current zone to hunt for fish and return.

Endangered

The population of the endangered Gangetic river dolphins was found in the Ganga and its two main tributaries, Gandak and Ghaghra, at almost 1,000 km length. The presence of 1,548 Gangetic dolphins in Ganga, Gandak, Kosi and Mahananda rivers is a sign of a healthy river ecosystem according to a survey in 2019.

Facing various threats

These dolphins unintentionally get killed after being extricated in fishing nylon nets, and are killed by poachers for their flesh, fat and oil. Boats and Machines hamper their echolocation abilities.  Lowering of water levels due to sandbars in river, reckless use of water in irrigation, multiple dam projects significantly lower the inhibitability.

COACH WAS ONCE A LEARNER

Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy and the same continues.Experience comes and grows within and out of a person. Preaching someone also requires having yourself preached at the initial stages of the upbringing of life. Every person who teaches you something was once a learner who has done mistakes and grew from it. Experience makes a person productive with the effective tone they put into what they are pursuing. To be effective, you structure the learning process, explain why your inputs are important, give clear instructions, check for understanding, and handle questions. This is referred to as directive coaching style. On the other end of the continuum, you have facilitative coaching style.

As we’ll see , people with or without experience have to go through the same process as all the others do. While few things do change or remain in this process of naive from fully known person. While directive style lies on positional power, facilitative style draws on personal power. In different coaching situations, depending on requirements, you draw on elements of both direction and facilitation. As a frontline leader, it is extremely important to widen your repertoire by honing your skills of facilitative coaching.
