Impact of pollution on Ecosystem

Modernization and industrialization has its adverse effect on environment surging toxins and health hazardous chemicals in both biotic and abiotic components of environment. Undoubtedly machines have made life super easy but it has taken a toll on human civilization.  World is facing many environmental issues wherein presence of pollutants in environment is being one of the major issue.

Pollutant is elements, unwanted particles and chemical and toxin present in atmosphere. Pollution is referred as presence of these pollutants in biotic and abiotic components of atmosphere. Both Biotic and a biotic component of atmosphere built our eco system. Abiotic is presence of all non- living and physical component  of atmosphere required to balance the eco system like water , air, natural gas etc. whereas biotic is all living organism present in eco system like humans, plants, bacteria etc.  These components are essential to maintain a balance in ecosystem.  It’s a impurity that is unwanted and is harmful to mankind and currently is major significant issues of the world.

Air pollution is one of the major pollution concerns existing in world and has raised an alarming situation. It is injurious to human health and the planet as a whole. Major causes are burning of fossil-fuels, coal, natural gases, industries, household uses, insecticide and pesticide and likewise.

Soil pollution is another major pollutant that is detrimental to humans and plants. Mixing of pollutants in soil has deteriorated its PH value causing to have it unfertile and barren. Illegal mining, dumping of urban and industrial waste, has resulted in soil erosion.

Water pollution is mixing of waste from factories, homes in water bodies. Mixing of pollutant make water contaminated and resulting in deletion in quality of water.  Heavy metals like lead, iron and arsenic is found in water making it poisonous for both terrestrial animal and aquatic. Last but not the least is noise pollution.  It is continuous exposure to an extreme sound level that causes annoyance and irritation. Sound levels less than 70 dB is tolerable by living organism and above that can affect respiration, headache nausea, according to World health organization.

Human activities that create pollution and affect environment

Pollution has disturbed the ecosystem to much extent.  Ecosystem chain has been adversely affected by climate change. Depletion ozone layer – ozone layer prevent entry of harmful sun radiation to the earth.  But toxic gases like carbon tetrachloride and methyl chloroform is leading its depletion.

Various examples in both world and India

Almost 90% of world population lives in areas where level of contaminated gases and fine particles have exceeded the limit according to WHO. Worldwide an estimated 6.5 million deaths (11.6 per cent of the total) were associated with indoor and outdoor air pollution in 2012, according to the WHO.

India is developing economy of the world and is growing rapid in recent years. With these recent developments of infrastructure, industrialization has increased pollution revelation the rise of toxicity in air and water. Many parts of India have witnessed acid rain making lad barren for further use. approx.25% of global deaths attributes to hazardous particulate present in the air.

How Jack Ma inspired me!!!

Jack Ma- every 5 years we have a review for our strategy now our strategy is always to look at the 30 years and 10 years every strategic decisions we make we have to ask one question this decision we make solve society problem because we believe the biggest social property you solved the most successful you are so if we do it this cannot solve any social problems we don’t do it second is this project is going to be successful in 10 years. If it’s it’s going to be successful in 10 years let’s do it if it’s going to be successful in one year or one month normally we forget about it because why you can be successful in one year or one month.

Alibaba billionaire Jack Ma: I know nothing about tech or marketing

We all have to put parham and 5 years ago we had a big debate about 10 years later 20 years what are the things this china society the world leave want so we say happiness and health strategy to happiness and health we believe Holly do you know the movie industry bring people happy because today nobody is happy rich people are happy poor people not happy you know at least when I watch movie after you’re happy but right. So, I think we should have partner with the Hollywood especially like a lot of you know we have a different way of living and in China the movie we have a lot of heroes but China movies heroes always dead the American me movie here will never die if all the heroes die who want to be the hero so my movie I want to make the hero live right so this is this is I think we should learn a lot and it’s all about two years so we have another eight years ago I want to make our company that it’s it’s not ecommerce it’s something that giving people inspirations given people.

Alibaba's co-founder Jack Ma to retire | The Passage

In the eBay model why about this model I told myself for is the gum set or a hat that will care about what the other people and the other thing Forrest Gump said nobody make money out of the catching whales people make money by catching shrimps so

 We serve small business or not if you want to win in business you have to think bigger than the service or product you

They also teach all the tricks all the turns all the dips all the tosses in the air did it matter as much as the experience we provided to students every person wants to feel loved every person wants to feel like they belong but they want to feel wanted appreciated validated and see and so we’ve always at our school thought bigger. We thought about they may come in for a service but they come back and they refer others because we enrich their lives we focus on the essential human needs like love like care like belonging that across cultures across demographics everybody wants to feel or experience.

Jack Ma and Jerry Yang talk about Yahoo's big Alibaba investment ...

I love Jack Ma’s message thinking five or 10 years from now because what people are worried about let’s say right now for the next six months it’s going to come and go but what stands the test of time are the deep down worries and fears that we all share so if you want to have a successful business you have to think bigger than the service or product you provide because people may come to your dance school people may come to your coffee shop by random chance but that’s not what’s going to keep them there and that’s not what’s going to make them refer clients to you now I’ve got a special bonus clip for you but before we get to it today’s question is how have you been thinking small in your business and what can you do to change that to really make an impact on your customers.

Fact about overnight success!

Most of the time, I think our constant quest for overnight success is a trap.

We get so obsessed on the goal that we forget that the system is what matters. We get so obsessed with the outcome that we overlook the repetitions we need to do to get there. We become so focused on the short-term results that we forget to build the long-term habits that make the real difference.

However, there are a few strategies—four of them at least—that will actually accelerate the results you enjoy without ignoring the importance of building better habits. I call these strategies “Behavior Multipliers” because they multiply and enhance your ability to take the right action on a consistent basis.

Let’s talk about these multipliers, how they work, and how they can get you closer to achieving overnight success. 

The Behavior Multipliers

1. Rapid Feedback.

“The best way to change long-term behavior is with short-term feedback.” The more immediate the feedback that you get, the quicker you can make adjustments to your behavior. (This is why it’s important to measure backward.)

My friend shared a good example with me recently. He had a collegue who wanted to improve his posture. That’s a hard thing to do because typically the only feedback you get on posture is if someone tells you that you are slouching or if you see yourself in the mirror. That’s very slow and inconsistent feedback.

Instead, his client stood in an upright position with good posture and placed a piece of tape across his shoulder. When he slouched, the tape pulled just enough on his shirt so that he noticed the change. Suddenly, he had immediate feedback whenever his posture changed and it became much easier to maintain good posture throughout the day.

The most foundational aspect of a new habit is awareness. If you’re not aware of your habits, how can you expect to change them? This is why feedback is so important. Faster feedback leads to faster results.

2. Simplicity.

The best productivity strategy is to eliminate the things that derail your productivity. If you live a life with fewer distractions, it becomes much easier to take effective action.

In many cases, the danger isn’t knowing what the most important task is for the day. The danger is doing the 7th-most important thing before you do the most important thing.

Don’t just identify the 20 percent of strategies that are most effective, eliminate the 80 percent of strategies that are wasteful. When the distractions are taken away from you, it becomes much easier to stay focused.

3. Environment.

In my opinion, this is the greatest success “hack” there is. If you live in an environment that nudges you toward the right decision and if you surround yourself with people who make your new behavior seem normal, then you’ll find success is almost an afterthought.

The world around us shapes our behavior. Consider the home you live in, for example. There are many cues built into your home, probably hundreds or thousands, that shape your behavior in small ways.

  • Is there food sitting on the counter? You’re more likely to pick it up and eat it.
  • Do your couches and chairs face the television? You’re more likely to sit down and turn it on.

And it works the other way too…

  • Are your running shoes and gym shorts laid out the night before? You’ll be more likely to suit up and go for a run tomorrow.
  • Do you work at an office with healthy and fit people? If so, you’ll be more likely to see exercise and activity as a normal way of life.

Every environment promotes some behaviors and prevents others. The key is to be in an environment that supports the results you want to achieve.

The people and places that surround us fill our days with little cues and triggers that can make our habits easier to follow or harder to build. Are you fighting your environment to make change happen? Or does your environment make your new behavior effortless?

4. Ability.

If your skills in a particular area are better, then making sustained progress will be easier.

For example, if you can already do 100 pushups in a row, then developing a habit of doing 10 pushups per day seems relatively easy. If, however, your maximum is 10 pushups in a row, then doing 10 pushups per day is far more taxing.

This is also where talent and genetic potential come into the picture. It is far easier to become an overnight success in basketball if you are 7 feet tall rather than if you are 5 feet tall. Play a game that rewards your skill set and success will come faster.

Overnight Success

I still think overnight success is a myth. There’s no way to avoid one simple fact: you have to put in the work.

That said, these four strategies make rapid success more reasonable:

  1. Get short-term feedback.
  2. Simplify and eliminate distractions.
  3. Surround yourself with an environment that promotes your new behavior.
  4. Play a game that leverages your skill set.

VIRUS AND ITS TRANSMISSION

WHAT IS A VIRUS?????
A virus is referred as an infectious agent that can only replicate inside the living cells of an organism i.e. a virus is something which can not at all grow or replicate by its own. It always needs a living cell for its replication process. It is a microorganism which cannot be seen by naked eyes and can infect any life form. It can be infectious for humans, plants and even for other microorganisms like bacteria and archea. Viruses infecting bacteria are known as bacteriophage. Viruses are not restricted to a place and they can be found everywhere at every place of ecosystem whether land, or water or in air. They can cause various infections including air-borne, water-borne or even food-borne. The science dealing with the study of viruses is known as Virology and it is a branch of microbiology. A complete virus particle ranges in size from about 10-400nm in its diameter.
Viruses are near to dead when outside the living cell but once entered any living cell of an organism, they are forced to replicate using the life machinery of that particular organism and thus they produce thousands of their multiple copies and in this way infect the organism. Outside the living cells they are present in the free, independent form which may also be known as a virion.
There are 3 main parts in the structure of a virus i.e. –

  1. Genetic core which is also known as nucleic acid core containing all the genetic material whether DNA or RNA, but not both. It is known as genome.
  2. A protein coat, which is also known as capsid which surrounds the genome of a virus particle.
  3. An envelope which is made of lipid. It is an external coat surrounding the genome as well as capsid.

VIRUS TRANSMISSION
Transmission of virus particles is important for them to survive because as discussed above they can only replicate themselves inside a host living organism. The virus transmits from one organism to another in order to survive, reproduce and continue their species. The effectiveness of the transmission of viral particle depends on 2 main factors i.e. the concentration of virus and its route of transmission. More concentration of virus leads to more transmission.
There are several ways by which a virus particle may get transmitted from one organism to another.

  1. Blood – Virus particles can get transmitted through the blood. The one way is direct viral infection in blood and the other way is by arthropods like dengue or malaria is transmitted. Arthropods bite one organism and collect viral particles from them and then when they bite other organism, the same viral particles are being transmitted to the next organism and this way transmission and infection occurs. Another way is direct viral infection in blood which can be via direct infected blood exposure to a healthy individual. It may be transmitted via sexual contacts with infected person like HIV is transmitted.
  2. Saliva – It is the most commonly seen in kissing the infected individual. The saliva contains the viral particles and thus they are transmitted to healthy individual.
  3. Respiratory secretions – If any infected individual sneezes, or coughs or in any other way its respiratory secretions come in contact with the healthy individual, he may get infected by the same. It may also occur by singing or even breathing.
  4. Feces – This is not a very common method in developed countries but can infect those who do not take sanitary actions after using toilets. The virus particles secreted in feces can infect other healthy individuals if they come in contact with them.

A heart attack death!

Yeah, it seems funny as your own heart just chokes itself & ends your Life. Mr Heart, Just Why?

Heart attack death is one of the leading causes of deaths worldwide. It is more common among the individuals of all races and gender and age. Middle-aged men have a higher risk of heart attack as compared to women of the same age. And on the contrary, older women have a higher risk of heart attack as compared to men their age.According to American Heart Association, every 3 out of 10 Americans suffers from a heart attack. India is not far behind in this trend. However, it is more prominent in individuals living in urban areas as compared to people living in the rural areas.

What is a heart attack?

Take care of your heart before its too lateTalking about Heart attack death,  heart attack is a condition which occurs when there is not much oxygen provision to the heart muscles. This would happen when there isn’t enough blood flow into the heart and therefore, low oxygen input into the heart. Its almost as though your heart ‘suffocates’ thereby causing a heart attack.During this condition, the heart struggles to pump blood into and out of the blood vessels, hence the ‘attack’.

What are the possible causes?

What are the causes of heart attack?
Few causes of heart attack

There are a multitude of reasons behind the heart attack. The most important reason being the lifestyle. Heart attack is now categorized as a ‘lifestyle’ disease.

Lack of exercise or physical activity, eating unhealthy or junk food, lots of stress are few of the main reasons that could provoke an attack.

Also, individuals having coronary artery disease, a condition where the arteries narrow because of deposition of fats and cholesterol, are more prone to heart attack.Another major reason for heart attack is the ‘atherosclerosis‘. It’s a condition where there is a lump of blood vessels formed, thereby blocking the blood flow to or from the heart. This again, happens because of intake of unhealthy and fatty food and diets rich in cholesterol. Because of the clot formed, sometimes, because of the high blood flow, even the blood vessels may rupture causing internal bleeding coupled with heart attack.

Symptoms of a Heart attack

What are the symptoms of a heart attack?
Watch for the signs
  • The first symptom of heart attack would be pain, discomfort and tightness, especially in the chest and below the breastbone. This pain links to the jaw, arm or throat.
  • Along with the discomfort, the patient may experience feeling of nausea or feeling of fullness (almost chocking) or heartburn.
  • Profuse sweating.
  • Along with all of the above, the patient may be feeling weakness, anxiety and shortness of breath.
  • The heartbeat becomes either very fast or highly uneven.

What to do if you have a heart attack?

The first thing you must do is call up the ambulance. You would have about 1-2 hours for the treatment. The more you delay, the more are the risks to your survival. However, with the recent advancements in the field of medicine, heart attack can be treated completely with ease and effectiveness. So I think you won’t die a heart attack death if you just hurry up for the emergency procedures like CPR.

Some steps that you must follow to avoid ‘meet and greet’ with heart attack:

Some steps that you must follow to avoid 'meet and greet' with heart attack:
Ways to avoid a heart attack
  • Drink no more than one to two alcoholic drinks per day for men, and one drink per day for women. Instead, drink plenty of water and fresh juice.
  • Eat a diet that’s free of trans fats, low in saturated fats, cholesterol, salt, and sugar, and high in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, omega-3 fatty acids, and dark chocolate.
  • Exercise at moderate intensity. That means at least 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.
  • Limit stress. Try meditating, spending time with people you love, getting enough sleep, and seeking counselling if you need it.
  • Quit smoking today. Yes, right now!
  • Work with your doctor to manage your blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, and weight.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.

COMMUNICATION:

Two-way process of reaching mutual understanding, in which participants not only exchange (encode-decode) information, news, ideas and feelings but also create and share meaning. In general, communication is a means of connecting people or places. In business, it is a key function of management–an organization cannot operate without communication between levels, departments and employees.

The ability to communicate effectively with superiors, colleagues, and staff is essential, no matter what industry you work in. Workers in the digital age must know how to effectively convey and receive messages in person as well as via phone, email, and social media. What skills do employers look for? Which communication skills will help ensure your success?

Top 10 Communication Skills Here are the top 10 communication skills that will help you stand out in today’s job market.

1. Listening communicator. No one likes communicating with someone who only cares about putting in her two cents, and does not take the time to listen to the other person. If you’re not a good listener, it’s going to be hard to comprehend what you’re being asked to do.

Being a good listener is one of the best ways to be a good

the time to practice active listening. Active listening involves paying close attention to what the other person is saying, asking clarifying questions, and phrasing what the person says to ensure understanding (“So, what you’re saying Through active listening, you can better understand”)

Nonverbal communication – Your body language, eye contact, hand gestures, and tone all color the message you are trying to convey. A relaxed, open stance arms open, legs relaxed), and a friendly tone will make you appear approachable, and will encourage others to speak openly with you.

Eve contact is also important; you want to look the person in the eye to demonstrate that you are focused on the person and the conversation (however, be sure not to stare at the person, which can make him or her uncomfortable).

Also pay attention to other people’s nonverbal signals while you are talking.

often, nonverbal signals convey how a person is really feeling. For example, if the person is not looking you in the eye, he or she might be uncomfortable or hiding the truth.

3. Clarity and Concision – Good communication means saying just enough – don’t say too little or talk too much. Try to convey your message in as few words as possible. Say what you want clearly and directly, whether you’re speaking to someone in person, on the phone, or via email. If you ramble on, your listener will either tune you out or will be unsure of exactly what you want. Think about what you want to say before you say it; this will help you to avoid talking excessively and/or confusing your audience.

4. Friendliness – Through a friendly tone, a personal question, or simply a smile, you will encourage your coworkers to engage in open and honest communication with you. It’s important to be nice and polite in all your workplace communications.

This is important in both face-to-face and written communication. When you can, personalize your emails to coworkers and/or employees a quick “I hope you all had a good weekend” at the start of an email can personalize a message and make the recipient feel more appreciated.

.Confidence – It is important to be confident in all of your interactions with others.

confidence ensures your coworkers that you believe in and will follow through with,what you are saying. Exuding confidence can be as simple as making eye contact using a firm but friendly tone (avoid making statements sound like questions), of course, be careful not to sound arrogant or aggressive. Be sure you are alive listening to and empathizing with the other person.

6. Empathy – Even when you disagree with an employer, coworker, or employee, it is important for you to understand and respect their point of view. Using phrases as simple as “I understand where you are coming from” demonstrates that you have been listening to the other person and respect their opinions.

7. Open-Mindedness – A good communicator should enter any conversation with a flexible, open mind. Be open to listening to and understanding the other person’s point of view, rather than simply getting your message across. By being willing to enter into a dialogue, even with people with whom you disagree, you will be able to have more honest, productive conversations.

8. Respect – People will be more open to communicating with you if you convey respect for them and their ideas. Simple actions like using a person’s name, making eye contact, and actively listening when a person speaks will make the person feel appreciated. On the phone, avoid distractions and stay focused on the conversation. Convey respect through email by taking the time to edit your message. If you send a sloppily written, confusing email, the recipient will think you do not respect her enough to think through your communication with her.

9. Feedback – Being able to appropriately give and receive feedback is an important communication skill. Managers and supervisors should continuously look for ways to provide employees with constructive feedback, be it through email, phone calls, or weekly status updates. Giving feedback involves giving praise as well – something as simple as saying “good job” or “thanks for taking care of that” to an employee can greatly increase motivation. Similarly, you should be able to accept, and even encourage, feedback from others. 40 Picking the Right Medium – An important communication skill is to simply know the form of communication to use. For example, some serious conversations layoffs, changes in salary, etc.) are almost always best done in person.

what form of communication ;

should also think about the person with whom you wish to speak – If they are very busy people (such as your boss, perhaps), you might want to convey your message through email. People will appreciate your thoughtful means of communication, and will be more likely to respond positively to you.

What Are Communication Skills

if someone has superb communication skills, he or she probably has an aptitude for clearly and collectively conveying and receiving messages to and from others both verbally and through body language, including facial expressions, eye contact, arm movement, and posture. General communication skills are important for everyday communication in all situations when you are exchanging conversation with someone else. They are helpful from small talk to deep conversation.

Steps to Improve your Communication Skills

1. Understand what is communication?

Communication is essentially passing the message either verbally or non-verbally. In today’s changing world the verbal communication has taken over the written language.

2. Think before you act ;Remember that once something is said, you cannot take it back. So you must think before you speak.

3. Maintain eye Contact ;Eye contact is something which most of us miss out on. One has to keep in mind that maintaining eye contact with the listener or listeners will make sure that even the listener or the audience is responding to what you say.

4. Body Language Body language is again one of those things which are taken for granted. One has to keep it in mind that your body language will tell more things than you intend to say

The said body language also includes gestures & posture. So when you speak, you will have to speak clearly & stand or sit professionally.

5. Pronunciation Telling a word correctly, i mean pronouncing the word correctly is another important thing that one should concentrate on. And if at all you are not that good or perfect in pronouncing the words then it is advised that you start working on Hey, Google will come to your rescue. All you will have to do is type the wordadd “Pronunciation” next to it.

6. Speak Slowly ;Next on the list is the way you speak. Basically, one thinks that if you speak fast then you are at your best. But hey that is not the deal! As a matter of fact, the firE has to be on the way you speak & not the speed. So, starters, see to it that you may speak slowly but make sure that you speak correctly & without any grammatical errors.

7. Be Brave Oh yes! You will have to be brave enough to speak. Generally, People tend to be a little nervous when it comes to speaking; as they fear that what they speak may not be right. But dudes you will have to understand the fact that until you speak you will not know whether you can speak correctly or not. So, you better start making sentences & speak.

Ah! We all like to watch movies or some or the other show. And the best part of it is that you hear ‘n’ number of background music. The same thing is to be applied when you speak. You will have to have expressions in your tone. When you have an expressive tone or voice automatically people begin to listen to you.

COORDINATION IN AN ORGANIZATION

Coordination is the process of synchronizing the activities and works of different departments of an organization to show and ensure the unity and group or team work. Coordination allows the company to progress because obviously a team can work better than an individual. It helps in maintaining harmony and balance between the works in an organization. A group maintains a balance and thus provides proper quality work to its organization. It is basically a force that binds all the management functions. Coordination helps in running the various things in an organization such as purchase, production, sales and finance. Any organization with the coordination gives better results than others. Coordination is referred as the essence of management because it is sometimes considered as a separate function of management. Coordination is essential in maintaining the harmony among individuals working together so that everyone gets the praise for the part of work they have done. To elaborate that coordination is not a separate function, rather it is the part of the management, it can be seen in different parts which can be also said as the stages of coordination –

  1. Planning is the first stage of coordinating in which the top management decides what and how to execute the complete work.
  2. Next is the organizing step, in which the organizational plans are actually organized as per planning.
  3. Third stage is staffing which is performed after the plans are organized.
  4. Next stage of coordination is directing in which plans which are organized and staffed are actually executed.
  5. Last and final stage of coordination is controlling in which all the activities which are newly executed are controlled so that no confusion and problem occurs.

WHY IS COORDINATION IMPORTANT?????
The need for coordination in an organization arises due to following reasons –

  1. Growth in size of organization i.e. as the organization grows, number of employees increases and thus to manage more number of individuals there is a need of coordination.
  2. Functional differentiation in an organization i.e. different departments of an organization need to be coordinated for better management.
  3. Specialization in the people of organization may lead to discrimination due to which coordination is necessary.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COORDINATION

  1. Coordination tends to integrate different individual efforts in the form of a group.
  2. Coordination ensures and protects unity of actions and binds all the individuals of the departments of the organization.
  3. Coordination is a continuous process i.e. it never stops and goes on like management. It starts at the planning stage and continues till controlling stage. It can never stop if the organization needs to work better and gain popularity.
  4. Coordination like management, is all pervasive i.e. it is universal and is required at each level and in each department of the organization. It is basically a binding force, which can never stop.
  5. Coordination is the responsibility of managers i.e. all the head departments are responsible for coordinating to other departments because in the first stage of coordination which is planning, higher authorities are required.

Closing in Generation Gap

Do you often have arguments with your family members, especially the older ones? Do you think that they don’t understand you or you don’t understand them? If yes, then the reason is the difference in mindsets between an older person and a younger person which is called age gap or generation gap. Generation gap occurs when two people with a decade or more of an age gap between them have very different opinions regarding a specific topic.

The world is changing every second. We are all developing and evolving by every hour passing. Fifty years ago people had no idea what a mobile phone or smartphone or internet was.

If technology can change so much with time, imagine how time would affect one’s mentality. Ethics, values, etiquettes are all dynamic characteristics which develop over time and change. That is why our values, ethics, mindsets don’t usually tally with the ones older than us and we feel like they do not understand us. This leads to arguments and fights, we even say very mean and inappropriate things in the heat of the moment.

Their opinions might not agree with us or might not be in our favour but we need to try to understand that they say what they say from a standpoint of their generation. Things were surely different back in their days and that’s the reason there is a difference in thinking. Generation gap can not be avoided. It is a natural shift in mindsets due to age and it will continue to exist as long as the human race does but instead of reacting to it in a negative way and ruining relationships here are some healthy ways you can try to close or reduce the generation gap. We also need to remember that we can only try and being aggressive can make matters worse. 

  1. Try to talk to them- If you believe that your opinion about something is right and how they feel about the same thing is wrong, try to make them see it, explain it to to them why and how they are wrong and give a better solution. Always try to support your answers with genuine points and facts. 
  2. Listen to them- Old people usually speak from experience and beliefs so there is a possibility that they might be right and you might be wrong. So try to understand their point of view and even if you do not agree to them do not misbehave or get angry. Just listen and try to understand, they have more experience than us and might see things which you fail to. 
  3. Silent treatment- Sometimes people do not agree or even try to understand even if you try really hard to make them understand. In such cases its better to just ignore them and let everything calm down around you. Some people do not understand anything when you try to make them aware  about a topic. In such times giving the silent treatment is best for you and your relationship with that person. 

Generation gap is a natural phenomenon but do not let it spoil your relationships with your family. Try the above three tips mentioned, the next time you have a dispute. 

Twitter aims to limit people from sharing articles they have not read

Twitter has nowadays created the most effective impact on connecting and sharing information. Twitter search is highly efficient in searching out active trending conversations or breaking news or things related to personal interests or even the latest news in and around anywhere on the Earth. Today if counting the number of active users of Twitter, it is found to be more than five hundred million throughout the globe. This number includes youth of this generation to the previous one, and from common men to celebrities.

  • According to the survey, it has been found that Twitter faces more than five hundred million tweets by the users per day, hence making it one of the active and widely used social networking sites. Apart from the twitter search, there’s an option for twitter advanced search which is effective only for registered users. The main advantage of this feature is the users can search out specific tweets regarding specific events and can retweet or share the contents. But it has also been found that the users used to share the articles even without reading them, which is now been aiming for restrictions of doing so.

To implement this restriction, Twitter has come up with the idea of experimenting with android users. In this experiment, Twitter is hoping to make the users exchange knowledgeable discussions only, on their respective twitter accounts. Whenever any users will try to share the articles or any other informative tweets without reading them or tapping on them, a prompt will pop up on the phone screen. This prompt will ask the user whether or not they truly want to retweet a hyperlink that they have now not tapped on. This will most probably make the user realize to tap on and read the tweet completely and then decide whether to retweet that particular article or not.

Twitter also cited in a remark which states, “Sharing or exchanging a piece of writing can easily ignite conversations, so you may additionally make a priority to desire to find out about the accurate concept earlier of you tweet it.” It has also added the statement, “To cooperate in advertising knowledgeable dialogue, we are attempting our newly developed feature recommended on Android till now- even as you retweet a piece of article that you for sure haven’t opened on your twitter account, we would perchance ask in case you would love to open it first then retweet.”

Sharing the links to pieces of writing without reading them is not at all a new trouble that has been witnessed. A study made in 2016 by the laptop computer scientists of Microsoft and Columbia University located that a total of 59 percent of the hyperlinks that had already been uploaded on Twitter is by no means of functionally tapped on for reading.

Much less academically sound, on the different hand larger telling, used to be every unique article posted that very exact year having a headline- “Seventy percent of Facebook users only examine the headline of science tales earlier than commenting.”- the faux records net website online the Science Submit has carried out a massive stock of 1,27,000 for the trouble which is almost accomplished lorem ipsum stuffed with textual content.

The solution made by Twitter is simply not to make the prohibition of such retweets, however just to needle friction into the procedure to attempt to poke some account holders to rethink their moves on the social neighborhood. It is just an approach the corporate has been taking more often not so long ago, in a try to make enhanced “platform well being” except making a deal with the censorship accusations.

In May, the corporate started testing by asking the users to amend their replies at the time they had been about to deliver tweets with “offensive language” to another fellow. The agency defined, “If at all the trouble gets an ignition, you are free to state the belongings you don’t implicit.” The corporate further added, “To assist you on reconsidering your reply, we’re walking a constrained scan on iOS with a prompt that offers you the alternative to amend your reply in enhancing it’s posted if it makes use of language which can, besides, be damaging or offensive.

That switch has been proved plenty less efficient, with the Twitter netting out, choosing as a lot of hazard-free- if the conversations full of vulgarity and filthy had been shared between friends, due to the fact, it does in truth hateful speech established on others.

“We’re attempting to encourage human beings to rethink their behavior as well as accent and revise their language earlier than posting because they usually are in the warmth of the second and they can also moreover say something they regret”, Twitter’s international head of internet website online insurance plan diagram for accepting as true with and safety referred to at the time.

Twitter has made our life easy to go with the flow of trending topics. So it is necessary to follow the guidelines made by the corporation in order to tweet and retweet the content. To create a clean impact it is important to first read the content thoroughly than to share and retweet. Finding contents can be done through the Twitter search feature but to find the most appropriate content with respective range or specifications, twitter advanced search will be the best option. It is advised to be a registered user of Twitter in order to get familiar with the day to day updates in and around the nations.

Alternative for Chinese apps !!!

let’s talk about the alternatives to popular Chinese apps:

  1. Cam Scanner is something a lot of people use and it has had its issues in the past I mean last year Kaspersky found a Trojan module in the app and it had gone away but it came back and now it’s banned again but there are some alternatives you can use so there’s Google Drive which has a simple scan feature that not many people know about and there’s Adobe scan and Microsoft Office lens both of which are feature packed like Cam Scanner now Adobe scan is something I prefer because I like the fact that it can detect the document is scanning be the ID card or resaved or a whiteboard or your usual documents it also has different editing tools OCR support and scanned images don’t have any watermark on them.
  2. Chinese browsers the CM browser APIs browser and of course the infamous UC browser which in the past has been in the news for taking unnecessary permissions showing spammy ads so yeah you shouldn’t be using these browsers anyway but if the browser you should be using is Firefox I know there’s chrome too of the sleeve but I am recommending Firefox for its privacy focused approach first of all Firefox brings a clean and blood-free experience unlike UC browser and like I said it’s focused on privacy and security. It blocks a lot of trackers automatically so that’s great plus it has all the great features like visual tab truly secure private browsing etc so Firefox is a great alternative to basically any browser out
  3. Share it and Xender are another really popular apps on this whole band list but of late they have become kind of spammy and bot especially share it now I personally used to use Xender a lot to transfer files from a phone to PC but offline something really cool and really easy called Google files now snap drop isn’t an app it’s a web-based service. Just tap on the device and send any file.
  4. ES File Explorer is another infamous app that has had its issues in the past the app has been reported to you know share app recommendations at spyware Android devices and beat shady engendered now lot of Android skins almost all the Android skins come with the old fine manager apps but if you want a third-party fire manager app there are a lot of great options, if you want a simple free file manager this obviously files by Google and if you want to create paid option there’s solve Explorer now, FX file explorer because it’s privacy focused there are no ads it’s free version because the most handy features like multiple windows support for most archive formats.
  5. Tik-Tok has been banned and no it’s not the only video sharing platform from China that has been banned this also like and ye I’m not sure how do you pronounce it but there are some good alternatives to Tik-tok. Triller-the app and it does not take any unnecessary permissions and number of celebrities posting videos on the platform so that’s good plus it brings Tik-tok features as you can see you can create music videos and there are different tracks to choose from like Tik-tok and you also get the feature where you can collaborate with other users.
  6. Viva video is a video editing app that has gone really popular in India now this is an app that was banned back in 2017 as well for spying on Indian users. So it’s obviously kind of shady but there are some great video editing apps you can use on Android now that’s in short if you want the same port at UI or the tools similar to what you get in viva video or you can use Kine master. It is more feature like multi device timeline all the video editing tools different textiles effects transitions.
  7. Helo the social media app that got really popular India because of its original language support has been banned too and you can use share chat instead which also brings the same so share chat is an app based out of India and it offers content in 15 region languages which is great, there’s no English support and when, basically people posting memes quotes whatsapp for words and things like that.
  8. Screen recorder lab that also got pretty popular but it’s been banned now but you don’t really have to worry because there are a lot of great screen recording apps on the Play Store my recommendation is the screen recorder no ads painting simply first of all this is ad free and support different resolutions different frame rates and an Android 10 devices this for parental audio recording which is awesome. If you want to record a gaming sessions so this is a simple great alternative that just works when compared to do you recorder.

Definition: The quality of being conscious of one’s own feelings and character.

Self-awareness is a person’s knowledge of themselves and their worth as a person.

Self-awareness involves being aware of different aspects of the self, including traits, behaviors, and feelings. Essentially, it is a psychological state in which oneself becomes the focus of attention.

Self-awareness represents the capacity of becoming the object of one’s own attention. In this state one actively identifies, processes, and stores information about the self. This paper surveys the self-awareness literature by emphasizing definition issues, measurement techniques, effects and functions of self-attention, and antecedents of self-awareness. Key self-related concepts (e.g., minimal, reflective consciousness) are distinguished from the central notion of self- awareness. Reviewed measures include questionnaires, implicit tasks, and self recognition. Main effects and functions of self-attention consist in self-evaluation, escape from the self, and amplification of one’s subjective experience, increased self-knowledge, self-regulation, and inferences about others’ mental states (Theory-of-Mind). A neurocognitive and socio-ecological model of self-awareness is described in which the role of face-to-face interactions, reflected appraisals, mirrors, media, inner speech, imagery, autobiographical knowledge, and neurological structures is underlined.

Explained: What is G4 flu virus with ‘pandemic potential’ found by Chinese researchers?

Scientists report that the new strain (G4) has descended from the H1N1 strain that was responsible for the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

In a new research, scientists from China – which has the largest population of pigs in the world – have identified a “recently emerged” strain of influenza virus that is infecting Chinese pigs and that has the potential of triggering a pandemic. Named G4, the swine flu strain has genes similar to those in the virus that caused the 2009 flu pandemic.

The study was published Monday in the US science journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PANS).

The scientists identified the virus through surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs that they carried out from 2011 to 2018 in ten provinces of China.

During this time, more than 29,000 nasal swabs were collected from slaughtered pigs and over 1,000 swabs or lung tissues were collected from farmed pigs that had signs of respiratory disease.

Out of these samples, the researchers isolated 179 swine flu viruses, the majority of which belonged to the newly identified G4 strain.

They also found that the G4 strain has the capability of binding to human-type receptors (like, the SARS-CoV-2 virus binds to ACE2 receptors in humans), was able to copy itself in human airway epithelial cells, and it showed effective infectivity and aerosol transmission in ferrets.

But why study pigs?

The scientists report that the new strain (G4) has descended from the H1N1 strain that was responsible for the 2009 flu pandemic. “Pigs are intermediate hosts for the generation of pandemic influenza virus. Thus, systematic surveillance of influenza viruses in pigs is a key measure for pre-warning the emergence of the next pandemic influenza,” states the study. It cannot be said if this new strain, if transmitted from pigs to humans, can transmit from one human to another.

The scientists suggest that controlling the prevailing G4 Eurasian-Avian like (EA) H1N1 viruses in pigs and closely monitoring human populations, especially workers in the swine industry, should be “urgently implemented”.

The 2009 swine flu pandemic

The WHO declared the outbreak of type A H1N1 influenza virus a pandemic in 2009 when there were around 30,000 cases globally. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines swine flu as, “a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Influenza viruses that commonly circulate in swine are called “swine influenza viruses” or “swine flu viruses”. Like human influenza viruses, there are different sub-types and strains of swine influenza viruses”.

Beijing’s 1st response to ban on 59 China-linked apps talks of cooperation

The decision by New Delhi to ban Chinese apps comes days after popular Chinese social media app WeChat – also banned by India – removed updates by the Embassy of India (EoI) on the current border conflict.

Beijing on Tuesday said it was “strongly concerned” about New Delhi’s decision to ban 59, mostly Chinese, mobile applications such as TikTok, UC Browser and WeChat, stressed on cooperation between the two countries and underlined that the ban would go against “India’s interests”.

The information technology ministry did not underline the Chinese links of the 59 mobile apps but government officials didn’t leave anyone in doubt. The ban was fast-tracked by Home Minister Amit Shah after the June 15 violent confrontation between soldiers of India and China at eastern Ladakh’s Galwan valley that spiralled tensions between the two neighbours

The official announcement only said the 59 applications were prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order. “This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users,” the Indian IT ministry statement on Monday evening said.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said Beijing was strongly concerned about the order.

“China is strongly concerned about the relevant notice issued by the Indian side. We are checking on and verifying the situation,” Zhao Lijian said at the regular ministry briefing on Tuesday.

“I want to stress that the Chinese government always asks the Chinese businesses to abide by international rules, local laws and regulations in their business cooperation with foreign countries,” he said.

Zhao also went on to remind New Delhi of its responsibilities towards foreign companies.

“The Indian government has the responsibility to uphold the legitimate and legal rights of the international investors including the Chinese ones,” he said.

“The practical cooperation between China and India is actually mutually beneficial and win-win,” he said

Zhao added: “Such a pattern has been artificially undermined and it is not in the interest of the Indian side”.

The decision by New Delhi to ban Chinese apps comes days after popular Chinese social media app WeChat – also banned by India – removed updates by the Embassy of India (EoI) on the current border conflict including Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement on the clash that left 20 Indian Army soldiers dead. The reasons given for the removal of the posts include divulging state secrets and endangering national security.

The updates published on WeChat included Modi’s remarks on the India-China border situation, the phone call between the Indian and Chinese foreign ministers held earlier this month and a statement by the external affairs ministry’s (MEA) spokesperson on the border situation.

India’s decision to ban the China-linked apps and encourage people to use Indian applications is a continuing effort to reduce dependence on its neighbor’s products and hampers efforts by China’s largest corporations to expand beyond their own borders

 

Is mask important during exercise in Covid-19?

Has exercise helped you deal with the lockdown? If it’s, then you’re never alone. Exercise is unlimited. Gyms might reopen and therefore the government advice suggests that folks should wear face coverings on conveyance and in places where social distancing isn’t possible. But does this reach exercise? Here’s what you would like to understand about mask important during exercise or not.

Not really. People should wear face masks where social distancing isn’t possible always and where they can inherit contact with others. Though they are doing not normally meet, for instance on conveyance or in some shops, the mask is important. In crowded areas, this recommendation could reach runners but officially there’s no advice requiring people that are exercising during a wide-open space to wear a mask. As long as you’re doing social distancing, it shouldn’t be necessary to wear a face-covering while exercising.

However, many professionals agree that wearing a mask is more about preventing the spread of Covid-19 to others, instead of protecting yourself, particularly if you’re asymptomatic.

If you’re getting to be jogging during a highly urban area, it’d be advisable to stay a mask in your pocket and put it on as you pass any crowds of individuals.

Is wearing a mask while exercising harmful?

There’s no scientific consensus on either the advantages or the risks, of wearing a mask while exercising, primarily because little research has been done into the world.

These five things which will happen if you wear a mask and exercise:

1.Claustrophobia

Because you breathe heavily while you’re exercising, there are high chances of you getting claustrophobic because the air supply could be restricted by your mask.

2.Lower stamina and fatigue

Stamina all boils right down to the quantity of oxygen you’re inhaling while you exercise. If you’re wearing a mask then your stamina is going to be on the lower side as you won’t be taking in the maximum amount of oxygen as you want to.

3.Nausea

Lack of oxygen and breathlessness may additionally cause nausea and dizziness.

4.Excessive sweating and dehydration

When you keep it up re-breathing the air you exhale it accelerates your pulse thanks to which you sweat tons. This can result in high chances that your body might dehydrate. We should always stay hydrated during the summer is crucial.

5.Unconsciousness and irritability

Although it’s not quite common, you can’t eliminate the probabilities of it. once you exercise together with your mask on you’re rebuilding the CO2 levels in your body which may cause unconsciousness.

Right now it’s better that you simply occupy the home and do whatever exercises you would like on your premises. you’ll use your terrace rather than stepping out.

Now that even the planet Health Organisation (WHO) is saying that we’d like to find out to measure with COVID-19, we’d like to take care of the alternatives we make. So, consider before you slip away for a run together with your mask on.

However, these incidents are rare, and there have likely been underlying health conditions.

Should You Wear a Mask When Exercising Outdoors? - WSJ

What sort of mask should I wear when I’m exercising?

From floral summer prints to heavy-duty respirators, it seems there is a mask cropping up for each occasion.

Several companies are producing face masks to run in, and these are for style and using materials to stop becoming excessively damp – breathing through the mask will produce water. The mask should be clean than having several will help. the fabric must be porous.

To help us, a mask made out of sentimental, breathable fabric that’s washable, making it safe for a sweaty exercise has been introduced. Masks also provide FFP 1 grade protection.

Is Will exercising with a mask affect my performance?

Whether you’re an experienced runner or a lockdown newbie cyclist, everyone likes to perform to the simplest of their ability. If you are planning to wear a mask on your daily exercise, it can make you feel uncomfortable, in hot weather.

There’s no doubt that folks are getting to find running with a mask harder. Then you’ve needed to breathe a touch harder to urge through the barrier, which suggests your lungs are getting to get a touch more of a piece out.

A mask decreases the flow of air into your lungs, so you’ll have less oxygen in your bloodstream. This suggests you’ll fatigue quicker. It’s likely that you simply are going to be getting enough oxygen once you exercise with a mask on, but if you are doing experience unusual signs like lightheaded, dizziness, extreme shortness of breath or numbness and tingling, stop exercising, begin your mask and take an opportunity.

Conclusion

Now lockdown restrictions are starting to be lifted, it’s even more important to require extra care when exercising publicly. If you can, choose a run where you are not going to encounter many of us. If you would like to exercise with someone, run side by side with an honest gap between each of you.

Also maintains it is vital to remember of the opposite people – both runners and pedestrians – on the pavement around you. If another person is coming towards you, shout and instruct in which direction you will proceed running. This will avoid collisions.
