How anyone can become so productive in their daily life

In today’s world, people always try to find out the better method that they will use to make their life more productive and useful but the problem is they are always following shortcuts and after sometimes they regret and become depressed, so in this post, we discussed some important tips that not only motivate you but also you can easily follow them.

1) Self-motivation

Now these days when we saw someone who is perfect in all fields of life and doing something better in their life we only choose two-path first we become his/her fan and follow them blindly or we feel jealous with his/her that God give them good family, or good life so they are using that benefits but I thought we should not be trapped in these conditions. it is good to inspire someone but not follow them blindly. Do something whatever big or small but inspire from that things. Because that particular work will change your not someone else work.

2) Competite with yourself

Competition is one of the keys in the process of success because whatever you are doing the study, business, etc you have to change with time and these changes will have to be beneficial for the process, so I thought is competition is important but you are free to choose your competitors so I think you should choose yourself because this is the best in all the competition in the world.

3) Time management

This is the basic ingredient without it you are not going to achieve something better in your life. Because life is itself a competition of you with yourself and for this. you have limited time on this planet so I think managing the time is very important for this game. Because without it you have so many tasks to complete but there is no time is available for them. so, manage your time perfectly and use a single moment of your life .

4) understand the concept of life

Life is not an emotional drama it is a perfect game that is designed by God so don’t be trapped in the different levels of life. Enjoy every single second of your life and don’t get sad when there is something not occur according to your will. Understand the basic concept of life that life has some rules and you have to understand all of these if you want to be happy in your life. Sometimes you have to sacrifice the best things in your life so be strong and ready to face all the problems of your life just like a warrior.

5) solve problems

This has become our habit that we are always run from the problems whatever the problem is, financially, socially, in the relationship, etc we always want to find out some shortcut and run away from them. But buddy this is life and the problem with it is that its rules are universal everyone single one who is on this planet has to follow them with or without will.so try to face every problem in your life

These are some rules that will surely help you to find a better purpose in your life and make your life more productive.

DOCTRINE OF RESTITUION UNDER CPC

What is the difference between a fine and restitution in a criminal case?

RESTITUTION

Section 144 makes provisions for the purpose of the doctrine of Restitution.

Restitution means restoring of anything unjustly taken from another.

It means restoring to a party the benefit which the other party has received under a decree subsequently held to be wrong.

The doctrine of restitution is that, on the reversal of a decree, the law imposes an obligation on the party to the suit who received an unjust benefit of the erroneous decree to make restitution to the other party for what he has lost.

OBJECT

The doctrine of restitution is based upon the well known maxim that the act of the court shall harm no one.

    CONDITIONS

Before restitution can be ordered under this section, the following three conditions must be satisfied :

The restitution sought must be in respect of the decree or order which had been reversed or varied;

The party applying for restitution must be entitled to benefit under the reversing decree or order; and

The relief claimed must be properly consequential on the reversal or variation of the decree or order.

WHO MAY APPLY ?

In order to entitle a person to apply under section 144, two conditions must be satisfied :

He must be a party to the decree or order varied or reversed.

He must have become entitled to any benefit by way of restitution or otherwise under the reversing decree or order.

AGAINST WHOM RESTITUTION MAY BE GRANTED ?

Section 144 applies to the parties or their representatives and does not apply to sureties.

WHO MAY GRANT RESTITUTION ?

An application for restitution lies to the court which has passed the decree or made the order.

 

 

WANT TO FILE CAVEAT?

Elaboration on the Concept of Caveat Under Civil Procedure Code

CAVEAT

Section 148-A of the Civil Procedure Code,1908 provides for lodging of a Caveat.

A caveat is a caution or warning given by a party to the court not to take any action or grant any relief to the applicant without notice or intimation being given to the party lodging the caveat and interested in appearing and objecting to such relief.

The person filing the caveat is known as “CAVEATOR“.

Meaning of Caveat in CPC and Who May Lodge It

OBJECT OF CAVEAT

To safeguard the interest of a person against an order that may be passed on an application filed by a party in a suit or proceeding instituted or about to be instituted.

It seeks to avoid multiplicity of proceedings.

WHO MAY LODGE CAVEAT ?

A Caveat may be filed by any person who is going to be affected by an interim order likely to be passed on an application which is expected to be made in a suit or proceeding instituted or about to be instituted in a court.

A person who is stranger to the proceeding cannot lodge a caveat.

FORM

No form of caveat has been prescribed under the Code. A caveat may, therefore, be filed in the form of a petition.

TIME-LIMIT

A Caveat lodged will remain in force for ninety days from the date of its filing.

After the prescribed period of ninety days is over, caveat may be renewed.

Oobleck: A non-Newtonian fluid revolutionizing speed bumps

Oobleck? Yes you read it right. Thinking you have never come across this term in all your life? Well, Oobleck is nothing but a mixture of cornstarch and water. What does corn starch and water have anything to do with speedbumps? The answer can make you marvel at the human mind with its simple, yet smart thinking capabilities.

Why traditional speedbumps are a problem?

Speed bumps have been a part of the road culture for more than 5 decades now. The were introduced in the 1970s and have managed to exist till now. They are raised ‘bumps’ with 3-4 inches of thickness, used as speed reducing mechanisms for vehicles on road, specially in speed sensitive regions. While they do their purpose, there are some unwanted problems related with the usage of speed breaks, ranging from economical to health concerning issues.

Some of the problems are:

  • Inconsistent speed and abrupt slowing of vehicle due to speed bump and then picking up the speed leads to higher emission, leading to air pollution.
  • Often slow down emergency vehicles
  • May cause spinal damage to some people
  • Inconsistent speed can lead to rupture of vehicles
  • Extra cost (manpower and raw materials) involved in maintaining the road signs, painting and marking, indicating that speed bumps are ahead.
Oobleck

As I already mentioned, Oobleck is a corn starch slurry. This mixture is filled in long cylindrical shaped rubber reinforced tubes resembling a speed bump which is secured to the road. When vehicles pass this speed bump with a slow speed, the liquid parts and allows the vehicle to pass thorugh as if there was nothing present. But, when a vehicle with high speed tries to pass through, the liquid hardens, thus limiting the speed of the vehicle. How does that happen?

oobleck bump
An oobleck filled bump.
The speed bump deforms under the tire when vehicle approaches with a slower speed.

Non-Newtonian fluids and the science behind

Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid. A non-Newtonian fluid is one whose viscosity changes under stress. That is, when you apply force to such liquids, it hardens (viscosity increases) and on the release of the force, it gets back to its normal form. But other ‘normal’ Newtonian liquids do not exhibit such characteristics. On application of stress, they do not resist that stress and thus does not cause a strain. Stress is when you hit a metal with hammer and strain is the resulting dent occurred due to the stress.

Non-Newtonian fluids are not rare. We come across them in our daily life without even knowing them. For instance take tomato ketchup. Many times, you may struggle getting the ketchup out from the bottle, and you unconsciously tap the back of the bottle. And you will see that ketchup now falls into your plate. Ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid whose viscosity decreases when stress is applied. By tapping the back of the bottle, a stress is applied and the ketchup becomes runnier, thus easily pouring out.

Some more examples are:

  • Viscosity decreases with stress over time – Honey ( on stirring honey, it becomes runny)
  • Viscosity increases with stress over time – Cream ( on whipping, it gets thicker)
  • Viscosity decreases with increased stress – Tomato ketchup
  • Viscosity increases with increased stress – Oobleck
Try it at home!

You can easily try this at home by adding 1/2 cup of water gradually to 1 cup of corn starch. After the powder is fully wet and feel like liquid, its time to get your hands messy. Dip you hands into the mixture and try making a ball. It will start to shape due to the stress you are applying with your hand. But once you stop shaping, like magic, the ball turns into liquid and oozes down. Try it and there is no going back. The inner child in you will want to play with it all day long. Visit here for more details on how to do it at home.

When we stop shaping it, it turns into liquid.

An environment friendly alternative

As the speed bump works as per the speed of the vehicle, there is no need for vehicles to slow down hence increasing fuel efficiency and decreasing emissions. The cost of installing and maintenance is low compared to traditional speed bumps. It does not do damage to the vehicle as the work of shock absorbers is reduced. Hence it is high time that countries start adopting this technology and try to reduce the damages we do to the environment one speed bump at a time!

 

 

 

HOW EXAMINATION OF WITNESESSES DONE?

Procedure for Examination of Witnesses

 

Examination of witness means asking the witness questions regarding relevant facts in the case and recording those statements as evidence.

General rule is that the order in which witnesses are produced and examined shall be regulated by the law and practice for the time being relating to the civil and criminal procedure respectively, and, in the absence of any such law, by the discretion of the court.

Law

 

CROSS-EXAMINATION

Ganesh Yadav vs. State of Assam,1995 Cr. L. J

The testimony of a witness is not legal evidence unless it is subject to the cross-examination and where no opportunity has been given to the appellant’s counsel to test the veracity of the principle prosecution witness, the evidence of such a witness is not legal testimony and cannot be the basis of a judicial pronouncement.

Jwar Singh vs. State of M.P, A.I.R 1981 (SC)

The objects of the cross-examination are to impeach the accuracy, credibility and general value of the evidence given in-chief, to shift the facts already stated by the witness, to detect and expose discrepancies, or to elicit suppressed facts which will support the case of the cross-examining party.

The Origins of the American Red Cross

The American Red Cross is a non-profit organization that provides emergency assistance, disaster relief, and disaster preparedness education in the United States. It is also referred to as The American National Red Cross.

Thousands Still Fighting to Recover from 2020 DisastersIt was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton in Dansville, New York. Clara Barton was born in 1821 in North Oxford, Massachusetts. Her father, Capt. Stephen Barton was an army man himself and a progressive thinker. She was a self-taught American nurse who provided relief to soldiers in the Civil War. At a time where nursing and midwifery were not formally taught, she imparted her knowledge to aspiring nurses. Barton was also a noteworthy humanitarian worker, civil rights activist, and suffragette. She was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame in 1973. Clara Barton - Wikipedia

Inspired by The Red Cross in Geneva, she founded the American Red Cross. She was also involved with the International Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian war.

Today, the American Red Cross is involved with several causes, such as blood drives, CPR training, and helping disaster-hit communities.

Going green, almost green

The term corporate greenwashing was coined in 1986 by Jay Westerveld. The beach resort he was residing at, encouraged guests to avoid giving towels for laundry every day, for the sake of protecting the coral reefs from detergents. However, the resort was undertaking expansion projects and harming said coral reef. They were just trying to save on laundry bills!

Corporate greenwashing refers to when a business makes impressive claims about its sustainability to distract from its unsustainable practices. This practice has become more prevalent today, due to the growth of climate awareness. Companies try to project a sustainable brand image but don’t exactly follow through on their promises. Corporate Sustainability: Profit, Motive and Intention in Greenwash | ONEPLANET Sustainability Review

Another example is the case of a palm oil company in 2008. They claimed that palm oil plantations provided habitat for native flora and fauna, when in fact the opposite was true.

Often, producers claim that their packaging is made of recycled plastic or that their product is. However, there may not be a supervisory body that is overseeing this. When consumers are misled in this manner, they end up making decisions that aren’t eco-friendly unknowingly. They believe they are doing good, but they aren’t. They might even be causing harm.

 

The Concept of Well-Being: Simplified

The concepts of general health and wellbeing of human beings have been used interchangeably in recent times. Though some variances exist, they deserve attention altogether.
Health, as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Health itself has some key determinants which include social, economic, and physical environments coupled with race, belief, economic or social condition.
Wellbeing or wellness on the other hand, refers to an optimal state of health expressed as a positive approach to living. It places emphasis on the constant search for good health as an utmost goal.
Health and wellbeing are a constant and dynamic process of change and growth in an effort to meet one’s pinnacle of potential and overall wellness.

Paying attention to health translates into wellbeing, and wellbeing itself comprises eight key dimensions, these are;

Emotional Wellbeing; proper understanding of your feelings and coping effectively with stress is addressed here. Importance should be paid to self-care, stress maintenance, relaxation and growth from experiences.

Environmental Wellbeing; having a lifestyle that is beneficial and respectful to the surroundings. Earth protection is key as being environmentally conscious by raising awareness should be prioritized.

Financial Wellbeing; this refers to learning how to successfully manage financial expenses. Money plays a cardinal role in our lives and the absence of it impacts health alongside overall performance.

Intellectual Wellbeing; new ideas and continuous lifelong learning find a resting place in an open mind. Expansion of knowledge is encouraged through scholastic or community activities.

Occupational Wellbeing; enjoying what you do for a living and appreciating your contributions. This angle of wellbeing encourages personal satisfaction and improves one’s life worth through work.

Physical Wellbeing; this deals with being responsible for your heart and seeking care when the need arises. Exercising, eating and sleeping well, and paying attention to signs of illness are crucial to physical wellbeing.

Social Wellbeing; Creation of a support network and actively engaging in social roles effectively. Development of valuable relationships with peers and intimate relationships with partners is encouraged here.

Spiritual Well Being; meaning and purpose are the main focus, and spiritual fulfilment can be achieved through relaxation or religion. Someone who is spiritually well knows which resources to use to cope with life’s everyday issues.

The residents of Mount Olympus

12 Greek gods were considered to be the main gods, the most important deities in Greek mythology. They resided on Mount Olympus where the throne of Zeus is considered to be situated according to Greek Mythology.

I have mentioned the Twelve Olympians in the list below:

  1. ZEUS: Zeus is referred to as the king of gods, the allfather, the chief of gods. He was born to Cronus and Rhea. Zeus was horrified with human sacrifice and so he flooded the world to wipe out humans. Throughout history, he is depicted as someone who terrorized humans by thunder and lightning.
  2. HERA: Hera is known as the Queen of Gods, matron goddess. She is Zeus’s sister as well as wife. She is the goddess of marriage, family, childbirth. Hera is famous for her jealousy so much so that even Zeus was scared of her rage.
  3. POSEIDON: Poseidon is the god of the horses, sea, oceans, and earthquakes. He was the second son of Cronus and Rhea.
  4. DEMETER: Sister and wife to Zeus, Demeter is the god of harvest, fertility, agriculture, sacred law. She also bore Plutus to Lasion. Her favorite animal is the pig.
  5. ATHENA: She is the goddess of war and wisdom. She was also known for spinning and weaving. No one is better than her domains i.e., war and wisdom, she is so fierce that even Ares fears her.
  6. APOLLO: He is the God of Oracles, archery, arts and music, knowledge, sunlight, herds, and protection of the young. His parents are Zeus and Leto. He is also considered the most beautiful Greek god. He is known as an averter of evil.
  7. ARTEMIS: Daughter of Zeus and Leto, twin sister of Apollo, Artemis is considered as the goddess of wild animals, hunting, vegetation, and childbirth.
  8. ARES: Son of Hera and Zeus, Ares is the god of war. He was not worshipped much because of his brutality and cruel nature. Although Athena was also the goddess of war, she represented a strategic part of the war, unlike Ares who represented killing.
  9. APHRODITE: She is the goddess of desire, love, beauty. According to Iliad, Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus and Dione. She was married to Hephaestus but she was not faithful to him because she cheated on him several times.

Transfer To Unborn Person : All you need to know - iPleaders

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY TO AN UNBORN PERSON

Unborn person means a person who has not come into existence.

As a general rule, a property can be transferred between the two living persons that means persons should be in existence at the time of the transfer of the property.

Section 5 of the Transfer of Property Act,1882 defines the Transfer of property as :

“Transfer of Property” means an act by which a living person conveys property, in present or in future, to one or more other living persons, or to himself, 1[or to himself] and one or more other living persons; and “to transfer property” is to perform such act.

But, Section 13 of the TRANSFER OF PROPERTY ACT provides for remedy by which a property can be transferred or an interest can be created in the property in favor of an unborn person. This is not an exception for the general rule, in fact it is an extension of the general rule which widens the scope to make the transfer of the property.

Where on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created for the benefit of a person not in existence at the date of the transfer, subject to a prior interest created by the same transfer, the interest created for the benefit of such person shall not take effect unless it extends to the remaining interest of the transferor in the property.

FOLLOWING ARE THE ELEMENTS KEPT TO BE IN  MIND WHILE CREATING AN INTEREST IN FAVOR OF AN UNBORN PERSON :

  1. Transfer for the unborn must be preceded by a life interest created in favor of a person in existence at the date of the transfer.
  2. Absolute interest must be transferred that is the whole remainder.
  3. The unborn person must come into existence.
  4. enjoyment of interest may be postponed.
  5. Transfer must not be in perpetuity.
  6. No direct transfer.

EXAMPLE : A transfers property of which is the owner to B, in trust for A and his intended wife successively for their lives and after the death tog the survivor, for the eldest son of the intended marriage for life, and after his death for A’s second son. The interest so created for the benefit of the eldest son does not take effect, because it does not extend to the whole of A’s remaining interest in the property.

LEGAL CONSEQUENCES 

The transfer in favor of unborn person must be preceded by a life interest and that only absolute may be given to the unborn has following legal consequences :

  1. The intermediary person living at the date of the transfer is to be given only life interest. It means giving him only the right to enjoyment and possession. He has to preserve the property like a trustee during his life-time on behalf of the unborn.
  2. The unborn must come into existence before the death of the person holding property for life. If the unborn comes into existence say, after month after the death of the last living person, the property shall revert back to the transferor or his heirs.

POSTPONEMENT OF ENJOYMENT

The enjoyment of the property transferred for an unborn person can be postponed for some future date. Section 14 of the Transfer Of Property act,1882 makes rule against perpetuity which means the postponement cannot be for unlimited period.

INTEREST AT THE TIME OF BIRTH

Section 20 of the Transfer of Property Act, where on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created for the benefit of unborn person not then living, he acquires upon his birth, unless a contrary intention appears from the terms of the transfer, a vested interest, although he may not be entitled to the enjoyment thereof immediately on his birth.

 

CONCLUSION

A property can not be directly transferred to an unborn person but if prior life interest has been created and the absolute interest has been made that is the whole of the remainder to unborn, then a property can be transferred in favor of an unborn person.
