Have you ever wondered why some advertisement makers show that we’ve used this or that plant in our product ?

Do you know there are about 47,000 plant species in India ?Out of these , many have healing capacities , they have abilities to cure some diseases. You may have even used one out of these plants’ leaves or bark to heal your wounds or to beautify yourself or to cure some disease .

India has about 8000 species of plants which have some medicinal qualities. About 2000 species have been described in Ayurveda & more than 500 are in regular use. You may be familiar with some medicinal plants , herbs & trees like Tulsi , Neem , Babool , Palash , Ashok & Arjun.

Let’s talk about their qualities .

Tulsi is used to cure not only cough, cold & headache but is also useful in indigestion, heart diseases & respiratory diseases. Neem has antibiotic & antibacterial properties. People often use its twig to clean their teeth , its bark can be used to heal wounds , it is also used to cure bloody nose & leprosy & to kill intestinal worms.

People use some of these plants for decorative purposes , some of these are used to make colors , & some are used as jewellery too. Some plants like Tulsi are worshipped by many Indians.

India’s ancient culture valued its flaura & fauna. But now we’re losing on it.The World Conservation Union’s Red List has named 352 plants out of which 52 are critically threatened & 49 are endangered.It’s not only about saving the culture , it’s about preservation of the biodiversity , or you can say it’s about saving our own lives.

There are a lot of local medicinal plants & herbs in India. They are not so popular but are very useful. Only the locals have knowledge about them & only they can save such plants , trees & herbs.

There’s a need to create & implement policies which include locals. Locals , administration , & government together can change the whole scenario . One such example is of India’s only orchid sanctuary, where the administration together with the locals rejuvenated the Sessa Orchid Sanctuary in just 21 days.

Let’s come together to preserve the beautiful Indian culture , & the biodiversity.

Ps : It’s never too late to make a change.

India @75

We’re going to enter in the 75th year of our Independence on 15 August, 21.

As I’m not a political leader so I”ll not talk about what we’ve gained in last 5 years , or in last decade or in last 25 years. As it is said it’s good to appreciate yourself but it’s also necessary to criticize yourself . A simple google search can tell you what we’ve gained since independence. So , now let’s see what we’ve lost since independence.

At the time of independence , we’ve not only lost many lives & a part of our land & but we’ve lost our peace , our fraternity , & the love , for ever. And then after the independence , the list continued. We’ve lost the morality , the sympathy , the kindness & the care. In short , we’ve lost The Humanity.

We still repeat the pleadge “All Indians Are My Brothers And Sisters” , but we’ve lost this fraternity , years before.

Years before , we talked about sex ratio , we talked about death rate , we talked about infant mortality rate , we talked about literacy rate but amidst of all these we’ve lost a lot.

Sex ratio haven’t yet improved since independence but the situation is now worser than what it was in 1947. At the time of independence , at least the little girls & the old women were safe. They were safe in their neighborhood, with their relatives, they were safe in religious places . But amidst their education , we’ve lost the respect for women( ok ok , I’m not talking about every age group , but the little girls & old women had some respect at that time ) . Ohk , I agree we’re in better condition now , but relax I’m just talking about the need of time.

Well , we’ve talked about death rates & infant mortality rates & off course we’ve improved a lot in this field. But we’ve lost the humanity , believe me we’ve completely lost it. At least that was the time when unknowns too used to care about your little ones , they used to give some respect to the dead person. But now , accidents are games of wait & watch.

And some devils are just too eager to have some so called pleasure , that they didn’t even look at a infant like a infant , they treat them as a object. Of course their desires has nothing to do with the gender & age ( some people say it’s all about beauty , body & clothes ). We’re losing humans day by day.

Better not to talk about the literacy, as the education without morality can’t do anything good.

On the 75th anniversary of independent India ,we”ll have all that which is needed to be a developed country but what about all that which is needed to be a Human ? Will we celebrate India @ 75 as a zombie ?

FARMERS’ PROTEST: GOVERNMENT’S PLANS TO OPPRESS THE MOVEMENT TAKES A HIT WITH INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION POURING IN

Iron nails, rods, barbed wire, boulders, makeshift walls….. These are not the visuals from a war front. This is how the largest democratic government in the world is preparing the country capital to face its farmers. The Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, 2020 was passed by the parliament followed by the approval of the President in September 2020. Since then, the farmers mainly from regions of Haryana and Punjab are protesting in the outskirts of New Delhi against the bill. Several rounds of discussions between the farmers and the government representatives have taken place but none of them was fruitful. The government had earlier offered to suspend the farmers’ bill as part of negotiations to end the protest but the farmers were loath as they demanded a complete abrogation. 

The protestors took hold of the major highways at Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri, thereby isolating the national capital. It is in the third month that the protest took a violent turn when protesters and police clashed after thousands of farmers entered Delhi as part of a massive tractor rally, on January 26th. Several injuries were reported and a protester lost his life during the commotion. The police used tear gas and water cannons along with brutal lathi-charge to oppress the rally. Media personals who reported the incidents in favour of the farmers were also arrested with sedition charges. The government has disconnected the fuel, power and water supplies to the protestors as part of oppressing the movement. The shutting down of the internet and the mobile networks by the government in and  around the protest sites in order to “ensure public safety” have further fueled up the rage among the farmers. 

To prevent the protestors from entering the city again, the government has deployed force at the capital borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and have begun blocking the area around the protests by placing large concrete slabs , spools of razor wire, heavy metal barricades , layers of stone boulders and embedding huge iron nails across the breadth of the roads leading to the protest sites. Only few selected vehicles are permitted to go beyond the barricading with media vehicles being strictly prohibited. With the movement gaining international attention and support as many notable faces from across the world vouched support for the farmers, it won’t be easy for the government to oppress the farmers agitation anymore. 

INSURGANCE OF OTT PLATFORMS DURING COVID TIMES

The imposition of lockdown on account of the COVID 19 pandemic marked a major retard in the growth of many leading industrial giants. Unlike the rest, OTT  is one among the few industries which marked an exponential growth since its inception. Though the OTT platforms are not a fresh face in the entertainment industry, the burgeoning of the sector was a never expected one until lockdown happened. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney Hotstar are the few OTT platforms which benefited from the imposition of lockdown. 

The television broadcasting companies failed to meet the demands of its viewers and was forced to rerun existing contents as the production industry was under a halt. The average screen time has simultaneously increased which resulted in people searching for fresh contents. The video on demand services gained popularity over the masses as it provided the flexibility to watch contents on our likes at our wish.  In addition to this,  these platforms released their fresh as well as original contents consistently and managed to maintain the initial consumer interest. These conveniences dragged the viewers towards OTT services and generated a buzz by increasing the traffic into these platforms even during the pandemic times. While the theatres and multiplexes remained closed for many months, film producers noticed the scope of the OTT industry and made an audacious move by releasing their films digitally for the first time to cater to a wider set of audience. 

It is estimated that an average person spends around 40% of their waking hours in front of a screen which makes almost seven hours a day. The OTT platforms have added a whopping 3-4 million subscribers to their existing viewership. This figure also included people viewing more non-broadcast content on platforms like YouTube and gaming sites. Just like how television revolutionised the early 90’s, OTT is bringing a new wave of change to the entertainment industry. These changes are always for the better and are inevitable.

Myanmar – Democracy behind the bars

Myanmar , India’s neighbor , attained freedom in 1948 , a year after India gained the freedom. Still , democracy differes the two countries . While India is a democratic country , Myanmar’s political history is full of its struggles for the democracy. After a long struggle for democracy constitutional provisions were accepted in 2011 by the military but military continued to hold some powers.

Now , after a decade of democracy , the military again seized the power in its hand on February 1 , 2021. Myanmar’s democratically elected & popular State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi , President Win Myint & other leaders were detained in a military coup.Noble Peace Prize winner Suu Kyi played important role in Myanmar’s movement for democracy & was elected as first state counsellor of the country in 2015. Suu Kyi’s party NLD came into power again in December 2020 with a huge victory, but may be this victory irked the military generals. The military accused the government of voter irregularities in the this election.

A few days ago , military denied of their plan to takeover. But now the democracy has been seized by the military & emergency is declared for a year. Former general Myint Swe would be acting as a president for the next one year. Roads were sealed off around the capital by armed troops & trucks.

The world leaders condemned the coup.

This coup is going to affect the Indo – Myanmar relations due to military’s pro-china policy.

After US Capitol riots , this was another sad incident for all the democracy supporters.

LOCKDOWN WIDENS THE VOID BETWIXT QUEER COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY

The past year was indeed a difficult time for the world owing to the COVID 19 pandemic and the lockdown imposed following it. Though the entire population got affected by this adverse conditions, there were certain minor communities and groups like the transgender community which had the bitter taste of it. There were active discussions and discourses on the impact of the lockdown on women facing domestic abuse, but the atrocities and adversities faced by the LGBTQ communities were the least spoken about. Being the have-nots of normal society, the life of the queer community in a pandemic affected locked down scenario was found to be the worst. 

The basic social liberties were always denied to the queer accounting to their physical and psychological divergence and aberant sexual orientation. They were neither included in the mainstream by the government nor had any access to public health care, education, steady job opportunities etc which along with the lack of support from their families resulted in the financial subsiding of the community. In many cases, staying home also became a potential danger to many, where they fell prey to violence from their family members or partner.

For a section whose normal daily life in itself is a hurdle, life in lockdown was nothing but catastrophic. While the majority of us worried about being confined into the comforts of our home during lock down, these destitutes were perturbed over losing the shade over their head. The Indian Hijra community who depended on the streets for their livelihood got literally ‘locked’ inside their residences with no basic supplies or access to money. As they were disdained from the ordinary jobs, street dancing, prostitution and begging were their only source of income and these ‘jobs’ required immense social interaction which was impossible during lockdown. The void between the society and queer community got widened with the imposition of lockdown and the already outlying community was pushed off to further disdain. The society along with the government should consider them at least as humans if not as citizens and take necessary measures for eradicating the stigma regarding the marginalized communities by making them a part of relief programs.

BEHIND THE SCENES: A CONCEALED FACE OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY

The fashion-cosmetic industry is a multibillion-dollar consumer-focused ever-growing global enterprise that has become an indispensable part of our lives. Everyone has a fashion or cosmetic brand which is close to their heart, but are heedless of its dark side. Animals and animal materials are vastly used in the industry, but the barbaric processes behind this are often left unaddressed. Certain kinds of animals are overbred for the production of fashion products with animal materials resulting in the extreme use of resources and the production of organic and toxic waste. These animals are denied basic comforts of living where they are confined in abhorrent conditions with restricted space for movement, mere food and brutally slaughtered at the end. Certain exotic endangered species also fall into this wretched fate for fashion. When affected with diseases, these animals are often rejected medical care and are placed alive in plastic bags to die. 

Animals are skinned alive for fur, feather, leather, wool, etc and are also subjected to various chemical experiments for the cosmetic industry. Millions of animals including unborn calves are skinned for the production of leather, a timeless trend of the fashion industry. These animals are treated ruthlessly where they reach the factories deprived of food, water and rest; are castrated and skinned alive by hanging upside down and eventually bled to death. Many believe that sheep are not harmed for the production of wool but on the contrary, they also have to undergo inhumane treatments like mulesing during the process. It is estimated that about 1 million sheep die from exposure to cold as the wool which is meant to protect them from the weather is sheared off in winter itself to meet the market demands. In Australia, a global leader in merino wool production, sheep are specifically bred to have wrinkled skin to increase wool production. But this makes their skin more prone to flystrike, a condition where the flies lay eggs in the skin folds and maggots eat the sheep alive. In order to prevent flystrike, mulesing, a practice in which huge pieces of skin are carved off the buttocks area is done. This process which causes great pain to the animal is carried out without anaesthesia. The sheep are sent to slaughterhouses once their wool production descends. Birds like parakeets, egrets, ostriches, and animals like mink, chinchillas, foxes, dogs, rabbits, cats etc caught for their feathers and fur also undergo the same fate. 

In order to ensure the safety of the customers, the companies of cosmetic and personal care products use animals to test their products. As the New England Anti-Vivisection Society (NEAVS) describes, animals are subject to “testing new drugs to infecting with diseases, poisoning for toxicity testing, burning skin, causing brain damage, implanting electrodes into the brain, maiming, blinding, and other painful and invasive procedures.” Mice, birds, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, and cats are the common victims of vivisection (live testing) and spend the majority of their lifetime inside cages of laboratories. The exposure to these chemicals have severe impacts on these animals.  Pain relievers are never provided and they always die or get killed at the end of each test. 

We should strive to help these animals to have a life instead of “trapping animals in bone-breaking steel traps, clubbing them to death, electrocuting them through the mouth or anus, breaking their necks and backs, skinning them alive”. A fashion industry without harming animals is always possible and we all share this responsibility as this world is theirs too.

Setting Goals

Setting realistic goals can help you to improve your skills and achieve your goals. You can use it to set goals when you are given a specific task or project, or to improve in some way. You can set goals in terms of promotion, intelligence, education and many other ways to improve your health and career.

Let’s take a look at why setting goals can help improve your career, what kinds of goals you can set and how you can set goals.

Why setting goals is important
Setting goals is important because it gives you a framework for achieving long distances. Wanting to do or complete certain things in life is a good start. Setting goals provides a way for you to actually do it. There are two types of goals to consider: short-term and long-term.

What are the short-term goals?
Short-term goals are immediate goals that you set for yourself to achieve your larger, long-term goals. You can think of short-term goals like big steps or stepping stones. Short-term goals usually cover a set period of time, anywhere from days or months to one or two years. Examples of short-term goals could include completing small tasks or projects, gaining information or learning. You will use your short-term goals to achieve your long-term goals.

What are long-term goals?
Long-term goals are usually the ones that you want to reach in a few years. You will use several lines to achieve long-term goals, setting short-term goals to achieve them. Long-term goals could include finding a job, promoting a career, or completing a long, complicated project.

Setting personal goals
Setting goals for yourself will help you to achieve your goals. You can set personal goals for a number of areas of life, such as recreation, health, or education. Setting personal goals can help you to succeed in your endeavor.

Advancing your interests by building knowledge on your hobbies or skills that you want to improve can easily transfer to your professional life. These are just some of the goal setting shareware that you can use with your resume. Spending time developing the things you want in your personal life can also help you stay focused and energized at work by paying attention to the balance of your work life.

Here are a few examples of personal goals:

Promoting hobbies such as playing a musical instrument or playing a game
Improving skills such as graphic design or public speaking
Extending your knowledge of a particular topic or study area
Focus on building or improving relationships
Financial goals such as saving for a purchase
Physical objectives such as marathon training or completing a certain fitness challenge
Setting professional goals
Setting professional goals can help you both accomplish specific tasks or projects and achieve any career goals you may have. If your company or manager does not have a specific set of goals for your work, you may consider setting your own career goals. You can also set your goals if you are self-employed. Your career goals should address your current situation and your long-term career aspirations.

While there are a number of ways to set goals, there are a few steps you can take to ensure success. Your goals should include at least five essential elements in order to achieve them. These five elements form what is known as the “SMART goal” framework. SMART stands for precision, measurement, accessibility, timeliness and timeliness. Let’s take a look at how to set a goal for SMART:

  1. Make your goal as clear and detailed as possible
    For example, instead of saying, “I want to be better at speaking in public,” you could say, “I want to give a 10-15 minute presentation to an audience of 50 or more.”
  2. Explain how you will measure success
    For example, if you want to switch from sales to marketing to marketing work, you can set up highways that will address how you can develop the skills and knowledge that marketing owners want. To do this, you can set your rate as a reading and focus on one skill per month.
  3. Examine whether your goals are achievable
    Setting realistic goals will help you to stay motivated and focused. You should work on understanding the full scope of your goal ahead of time to ensure that it is achievable.

For example, if you are in your first professional engineering career and your goal is to become a professional engineer. If you find that the goal is not achievable because you do not have enough experience, one of your new goals should be to get more information.

  1. Make sure your goal is right
    You need to set goals that are consistent with your values ​​and contribute toward achieving your long-term goals. Each goal you set should be consistent and meaningful to you, bringing you closer to where you want to be. To make sure you set the right goals, you might ask yourself, “How will achieving this goal help me?” “Does achieving this goal contribute to achieving my big, long-term goals? Why is this goal important to me?”
  2. Set start and end date
    Setting a timetable to achieve your goal can help you stay motivated and up-to-date. Before setting a deadline for goals, be sure to research all the major stages and roadblocks you may encounter along the way.

Communication Barriers

At work, you will use a variety of word-for-word communication tools to share information and keep track of business operations.

As an employee, you may sometimes face obstacles that make communication difficult. When communication barriers arise, it can be difficult to maintain and develop relationships with partners, leaders or clients. This often leads to confusion and can make your daily activities very difficult. By seeing these barriers and knowing your communication habits, you will be better able to solve these problems when they arise.

A pot is used
Every industry has its own collection of unique words and phrases. While the use of these terms may seem effective at times, it is often confusing for those who are outside the field or have little or no experience. Using jargon or very technical language can elicit your messages and make it a great challenge for people to understand important details.

Instead, try and avoid jargon and separate the abbreviations. For example, while someone in marketing or sales may be familiar with the term “KPI,” an employee development product may not know what it stands for “key performance indicator” or how much an organization is trying to determine how well an business is performing to achieve a business objective. By taking the time to explain the word, you can ensure that everyone understands your message. Doing so also helps people feel included, confident and able to be present and productive.

Providing more information at once
Whether you give a presentation during a team meeting, train a new employee or explain a product to customers, it is easy to share too much information. Sometimes you may feel that the information you provide, clarifies your message. However, providing too much information can confuse your message and make it difficult for your audience to understand.

To make it easier for people to understand your message, keep your description short and share only the most relevant to them. If you are sharing an introduction or using a written link, be sure to use a dotted list instead of large text blocks. Give your audience time to ask questions, either at the end or during the interview – this is a good time to share more details they are ready to eat.

Different communication methods
Everyone has their own unique style of communication. Some people express themselves outdoors while others maintain a more neutral tone. Some people use gestures when speaking in front of an audience while others avoid them. Sometimes, these differences can be barriers to communication. For example, a person who is very detailed and clear in his messages may have trouble understanding the contact you choose to use.

Here are a few things you can do to help get your point across to people with different communication styles:

Use a confident tone
No matter what your method of communication is, stay positive and confident. When speaking, speak clearly and clearly. When writing, try to avoid phrases like “I think” or “I hope” or “I think.”

Include examples
When you explain something, it is very helpful to illustrate your point with examples. For example, if you are training a job with a tool, show it. Be aware of potential learning styles for your audience.

Ask if anyone needs clarification
When you have finished sharing a point, ask your audience if they need clarification and make yourself available for follow-up questions to make sure they understand your meaning. You can do this by asking, “Does anyone have any of the following questions?” or “Is that clear to everyone?”

Mirror other communication styles
When you are in a face-to-face meeting, try to model your communication style behind the person you are talking to.

Barriers to language and hearing
If someone has a hearing problem or does not speak your language well, they may have a hard time understanding what you are saying. Even if you did understand some of your message, there is a good chance that they will not miss out on sensitive information.

In these cases, it is important to make all the necessary arrangements to ensure that you are able to communicate effectively with each other. For example, you may need to request the services of a translator or sign language translator.

Physical barriers
One of the most common communication barriers is physical boundaries. While face-to-face contact is often very effective, it is not always the case – especially businesses with multiple locations or remote employees.

When dealing with physical barriers, it is important to change your communication skills. For example, when you are talking to someone on the phone, you cannot rely on non-verbal communication such as hand gestures, facial expressions and other gestures, so you will need to make sure that all conversations are spoken orally. When speaking primarily by email or chat, it is important to use the same tactics that you will use in oral conversations, such as starting exchanging messages with greetings, so that you do not come together as rude or disrespectful.

Clear and direct communication is essential to maintaining a productive and safe working environment. In addition, well-developed communication skills are essential for success in any endeavor. By giving yourself time to understand and identify barriers to communication, and work to solve these challenges, you can ensure good information for your colleagues and any clients you work for.

Improve Time-Management Skills

Time management skills enable the technician to fulfill his day-to-day responsibilities quickly and effectively. If a professional who finds time management is challenging, it may be helpful to know the various strategies you can use to improve your time management skills. In this article, we will consider 10 ways to manage your time effectively.

Why is time management important?
Time management skills are a comprehensive set of skills that help you manage the time you spend during the working day and ensure that you use them as effectively as possible. A few important time management skills include:

Priority
This is an act of giving value to the various tasks and ensuring that the most important tasks are completed before the less important tasks. Successfully prioritizing your tasks requires that you have a clear understanding of how long each task will take you. Having the ability to prioritize your responsibilities will also allow you to complete your important tasks effectively.

Planning
Being able to analyze a task or a set of tasks and create a schedule for their completion is essential. Effective time management requires strong planning skills to ensure that you can develop and apply a clear understanding of your responsibilities when creating your work schedules.

Stress management
The ability to see your own stress levels and create a living space within your work can keep your stress level low. Self-improvement, delegating and taking breaks where needed allow you to stay focused and motivated as you carry out each of the daily tasks in your system. Understanding your stress levels will also help you to make the most of your day-to-day breaks and know when to say no to tasks that will overwhelm you.

Setting goals for yourself
Setting defined goals for all of your work, such as accomplishing a task or part of a task, is an important part of time management. Setting a series of realistic goals and a series of relevant goals allows you to feel each accomplishment in your day as a source of inspiration and inspiration. Setting goals can work in conjunction with stress management to help you increase your efficiency every hour and every day.

Communication
This ability represents your ability to express your goals, plans and needs in words and in written form. Well-developed communication skills allow you to create efficient schedules and programs. It also helps you to accomplish your tasks more efficiently and collaboratively.

  1. Start your activities early
    If you have the opportunity, starting a project before you are scheduled to start working on it can help you win the first stages of preparation for assignment. This allows you to start building your own volunteer strategy, which can also help you overcome procrastination.
  2. Set boundaries to say yes
    Most people will accept many responsibilities as some ask them to make a good impression and show their commitment to their work. However, taking on more responsibilities can make the system that embraces all your tasks a big challenge. Setting limits on how much work you are willing to do for others can help you to avoid becoming a burden to others.
  3. Take breaks
    Dedicating your day to a short cut in your work will allow you to slow down and get back to your active activities with a new perspective. Learning when to take time off for the rest of your day will help you to develop effective stress management habits.
  4. Put your tasks first
    Find out how important your work is to each other. Giving priority to specific tasks can help you focus your efforts on things that require the most time. Practicing prioritizing your tasks allows you to better understand how to better create your own schedules and determine which tasks should be assigned.
  5. Schedule your activities and deadlines
    Take the time to write out a detailed schedule for each of your tasks and set a time limit. Doing this can help you to visualize what tasks will require a lot of effort and will help you to understand better how quickly you can complete your task. Make it a practice to keep your schedule up-to-date, as a comprehensive plan can serve as a basis to help you improve your planning and prioritization skills.
  6. Plan your work environment
    A good work environment can save you time in the middle of your day by preventing you from finding the things you need to complete each task. In addition, developing organizational skills will help you improve your planning skills. Not worrying about getting certain documents or work items will help reduce daily stress.
  7. Learn your production methods
    Everyone has different patterns of production throughout the day. Some people work very well in the earlier hours of the day, while others may not get their product up until after lunch. Finding out which times of the day are most productive for you can help you use each part of the day more effectively. By organizing quick or easy tasks during your less productive times, you ensure that your high quality product is delivered to long, very important tasks.

Protect Your Identity Online

As the percentage of people using the Internet increases, so do security risks.

With the increasing use of social networking sites and networks, people are making more and more personal information available online, making it more difficult to protect sensitive information. Fortunately, there are various ways to protect your online identity and personal information.

Here are the top ten ways you can protect yourself online:

  1. Use strong passwords
    A common way to protect your online identity is to focus on creating strong passwords. When creating a password, select something that will not be easily broken or decrypted. Never use the name or number of someone you can identify with as a first, middle, or last name, spouse or child name, address, phone number, employers, or other identifying letters or numbers. Combine the letters and numbers used in your password and use symbols and combinations of as many and as many numbers as possible to protect yourself from online security breaches. In addition, it is important that you never share your password with anyone. You may need to change your passwords a few times each year.
  2. See Encryption
    Before engaging in any form of online financial transaction, look for signs indicating whether the website is encrypted or not. To do this, look for two things: reliable security lock symbols and additional “s” at the end of http in the URL or web address bar. If you are on a page requesting credit card details, “http” switches to “https” if it is a secure site. At the same time, a lock icon will also appear on the right side of the address bar or at the bottom left of your browser window. These two signs indicate that the site is encrypted, which means that no one will be able to see the information as it is sent to the owner of the website. This keeps your name, phone number, address, credit card number and other sensitive information visible to anyone else.
  3. Install Security Suites
    Security suits are security programs that keep people and unscrupulous programs from infecting your computer and stealing information and data from you. This includes blocking malicious software such as spyware, viruses, and criminal scams to steal sensitive information that can be secretly posted online. Other popular security suits include Norton Antivirus, McAfee Virus Protection, Ad-Aware Pro Security, and AVG Internet Security. Make sure you purchase and install one of these sites to protect your online information.

4.Open the Web Browser Block List
The lack of internet security is partly due to the Internet browser used. Many web browsers have additional security options such as blacklisting. This allows you to set up a process for sites to navigate; only secure, reliable sites will be available for a visit.

  1. Avoid the crime of stealing sensitive information
    Fraudulent identity theft scams use a variety of methods to obtain your information and steal your identity. There are many types of identity theft scams out there, but they can be avoided by teaching them how to detect them. To avoid becoming a victim of fraudulent theft of sensitive information, do not open emails or attachments where the sender is anonymous and do not click on unsafe links from unfamiliar emails. In addition, avoid anyone who donates money, unusual job opportunities or donation requests to charities as this can be a strategy for obtaining your personal information and online identity.
  1. Get Privacy Protection
    Another way to protect your online identity and sensitive information when you share online is to obtain privacy data protection. This type of security will protect any privacy data embedded in emails, private shipping systems, social networking sites, or on various blogs. By using the personal data protection suite, you can continue to protect hackers from collecting your personal information.
  2. Password-Protect Your Wireless Router
    A wireless router that accesses the Internet at your home or business should always be password protected. If you do not have a password on your wireless network, anyone in your class can use and access your internet, or a criminal. A cybercrime hacker will take advantage of that and steal information from your computer while accessing your route. You should also enable the encryption feature on the wireless router, which processes any data you send online to further protect your sensitive data.
  3. Hide your details
    You may accidentally share your personal information with others if you do not set up your web browser properly. Whenever you get a new computer or download and install a new browser, you can start configuring it. To do this, you will be able to access the “set-up” option in the browser and choose to stop the browser from disclosing your name, email address or other information. Be sure to take this extra step when you download or install the browser to ensure your privacy and security.
  4. Enable cookies in your web browser only when required
    Another option to set up your browser is to protect your online data to enable cookies only when a website is required. These cookies contain information that is stored on your computer, including information about the sites you visit and what you do there. Most of them keep information to themselves, but this is also a way for dishonest people to access your information. You want cookies enabled, but you are only limited to the websites you need.

Simple Ways to Relieve Stress

Tips for dealing with stressful situations
You may be surprised to learn that bouts of depression are more recent. It was not until the late 1950s that endocrinologist Hans Selye began identifying and recording depression.

Symptoms of depression existed long before Seleye, but his discovery led to new research that has helped millions to cope with stress. We have compiled a list of the top ten ways to reduce stress.

listen to music
If you feel overwhelmed by a stressful situation, try taking a break from listening to soothing music. Playing soft music has a positive effect on the brain and body, can lower blood pressure, and lower cortisol, a hormone linked to stress.

We recommend cello master Yo-Yo Ma to play Bach, but if classical is really not your thing, try listening to the sea or the sounds of nature. It may sound hot, but there are similar relaxing effects in music.

Talk to your friend
When you feel the pressure, take a break to call a friend and talk about your problems. Good relationships with friends and loved ones are essential for any healthy lifestyle.

They are especially important when you are under a lot of pressure. A reassuring word, or a moment, can put everything in its place.

Talk to yourself about it
Sometimes calling a friend is not an option. If so, talking to you calmly may be the next step.

Don’t worry about looking crazy – just tell yourself why you’re stressed, all you have to do is complete the task, and most importantly, everything will be fine.

Eat well
Stress levels and diet should be closely related. When we are frustrated, we often forget to eat well and use nutritious, fatty foods as a beverage.

Try to avoid sugary snacks and plan ahead. Fruits and vegetables are always good, and fish with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce symptoms of stress. The tuna sandwich is actually brain food.

It’s funny
Laughter releases endorphins that enhance mood and reduce levels of stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline. Humorous your nervous system makes you happy.

Our suggestion: watch old Monty Python drawings like “The Ministry of Silly Walks.” Those Brits are so funny, soon you will be cracked, rather than cracked.

Drink tea
High levels of caffeine cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. It can also cause your hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to go to extremes.

Instead of coffee or energy drinks, try green tea. It contains less than half the coffee caffeine and contains healthy antioxidants, as well as theanine, an amino acid that has a calming effect on the nervous system.

Remember
Most of the tips we have suggested provide immediate relief, but there are also many lifestyle changes that can work better over time. The concept of “thinking” is a large part of meditation techniques and certain forms of mental health and has become popular recently.

From yoga and tai chi to meditation and Pilates, these meditation programs include physical and psychological exercises that prevent stress from becoming a problem. Try joining a class.

Exercise (or minute)
Exercising does not mean lifting strength in the gym or training in a marathon. Walking slowly around the office or simply stopping to stretch during breaks at work can provide immediate relief from stress.

Your blood circulation releases endorphins and can improve your mood almost immediately.

Sleep better
Everyone knows that stress can make you lose sleep. Unfortunately, sleep deprivation is also a major cause of stress. This vicious cycle causes the brain and body to degenerate and become worse over time.

Make sure you get a doctor’s recommended hours of sleep seven to eight hours. Turn off the TV in front of you, turn off the lights, and give yourself time to rest before going to bed. It would be the most effective pressure barter on our list.

Breathe easily
The advice to “take a deep breath” may seem like a short clip, but it works when it comes to depression. For centuries, Buddhist monks have been known to deliberately breathe during meditation.

A simple exercise for three to five minutes, sit on a chair with your feet up and hands on your knees. Breathe in and out slowly and deeply, focusing on your lungs as they fully develop in your chest.

While abnormal breathing causes stress, deep breathing breathes your blood, helps to stabilize your body, and clears your mind.

Depression is an inevitable part of life, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore it. Untreated depression can cause serious physical and mental problems.

The good news is that in many cases, stress is manageable. With some patience and a few practical strategies, you can reduce your stress, whether it is family stress or stress at work.

How Video Games Can Improve Your Life?

We love video games with their fun and exciting nature, but whether we put the controls down, video games or at least thinking like a gamer can have a positive impact on our entire lives. Here are ten video features that do us good.

  • Learn Personal Accountability
    The best video games are a challenge. Pushing those challenges can teach us patience and self-accountability – we learn how to focus on our actions and what we can control to improve the conditions around us. It may not be an obvious lesson from video games, and it requires self-examination, but lessons like these continue from play to real life.
  • Learn How To Deal With People In Real Life
    Online games offer many opportunities to connect with other players. One of these experiences can teach you a few things about how to interact with others in real life – you can work well with anyone, perhaps, if you have the same goal (whether ending a prison or working with a presentation) and how clear past communication is important because others can’t read our minds.
  • Relax and reduce anxiety and stress
    For many people, playing video games is a much-needed leisure time. The psychological benefits of playing video games can extend to real life as it relieves stress and anxiety. Some studies have shown that immersion games can cure post-traumatic stress disorder. Of course, this depends on us not playing games that provoke anger.
  • Meet Young People
    Some games take the social environment of the game to a whole new level. Ingress, for example, is a real game that helped our Alan Henry explore new places and get out of the real world to meet new people. Even if you don’t play one of those realistic games that is unpopular with the taxpayers we see, you can make friends in real life with this same interest, whether you’re attending a sports conference or just joining an online community of players. (Seriously, making friends is hard work, but video games can be very fun.)
  • Be better at multi-tasking
    Doing a lot of work is not good for our overall production, but you may be better at it, even if you are not a “big boss” of nature. Cognitive researcher Daphne Bavalier found that older people playing video games such as Call of Duty were better able to deal with visual and auditory disturbances at the same time.
  • Learn how to restart and release
    One thing that all video players can learn is the sadness of ending a favorite game or calling it quitting the one that no longer gives you that pleasure. Whether it’s World of Warcraft or Happy Bird, games force us to deal with the frustration of starting over or walking away. These are the same emotions we have to deal with at some point in real life — and video games can be a good habit of knowing when to stop normally.
  • Get into a good workflow
    You can also use video game rules to adjust your workflow: set time limits to create a sense of urgency, divide work into different “levels” or stages, and reward yourself for each level of progress. Video game music may be the best music you can listen to while working or studying and put you in that state of focused flow.
  • Upgrade Your Lifetime
    Whether you are a hardcore player or not, when you think of a life like a video game, it can be easy to improve your stamina and achieve some of your goals. Think of yourself as a character starting at level 1, work on your skills (yes, sometimes it will be grinding), and keep track of your progress. You can play with almost every aspect of your life and learn to use the best “winning” game

Benefits of Yoga In Life

Yoga offers both physical and mental benefits to people of all ages. Also, if you are experiencing illness, surgery, or chronic illness, yoga can be an important part of your treatment and may even speed up your recovery.

A yoga therapist can work with patients and bring together independent programs that work in conjunction with their therapies and surgeries. Thus, yoga can support the healing process and help a person see symptoms with greater concentration and less stress.

  1. Yoga can reduce the symptoms of arthritis.
    Gentle yoga has been shown to reduce some of the joint discomfort, which is common in people with arthritis, according to Johns Hopkins’ review of 11 recent studies.
  2. Yoga benefits heart health.
    Practicing regular yoga can reduce stress and inflammation throughout the body, contributing to a healthier heart. Many causes of heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be treated with yoga.

Try it: Down Dog Pose
Get on all fours, then put your toes down and bring your bones sitting up, to make the triangle stand up. Keep a slight bend at your knees, while stretching your spine and tailbone.

    Studies show that a continuous sleep yoga routine can help you get into the right mindset and prepare your body for sleep and sleep.

Try it: Legs-Up-the-Wall Pose
Sit on your left side of the wall, then gently turn to the right and lift your legs to relax on the wall, keeping your back down and your bones sitting close to the wall. You can stay in this position for 5 to 15 minutes.

  1. Yoga can mean a lot of energy and bright feelings.
    You may feel an increase in mental and physical strength, increased alertness and enthusiasm, and a few negative emotions after practicing yoga.
  2. Yoga helps you manage stress.
    According to the National Institutes of Health, scientific evidence shows that yoga supports the management of stress, mental health, meditation, healthy eating, weight loss and sleep quality.

Try: Carcass Pose (Savasana)
Lie on the floor with your legs outstretched, away from the body, palms up. Try to clear your mind while breathing loudly. You can hold this pose for 5 to 15 minutes.

  1. Yoga connects you to a supportive community.
    Participating in yoga classes can reduce loneliness and provide a place for group healing and support. Or in individual times loneliness diminishes as the person is accepted as a different person, listened to and participates in creating a personalized yoga program.
  2. Yoga promotes better self-care.
    Scientific Research on the Benefits of Yoga
    The U.S. military, the National Institutes of Health and other major organizations are listening to – and including – scientific confirmation of the importance of yoga in health care.
