As humans, we’re accustomed to using visual hints to guess the age of someone.
The neighbor’s dog with flecks of gray fur and a stiff walk is obviously getting up in years.
That huge gnarled tree in the park must have been there for decades.
But Birds are different. They don’t get gray ,they don’t get bigger with each passing year, they don’t leave growth rings for us to count.
In fact, once most birds develop their adult plumage, they essentially become impossible to age.
The reality that birds don’t show physical signs of aging creates a challenge for understanding how long they live.
Many birds live much longer than we might expect. Some expects say that birds can live up to 120 years and more..
Here are some characteristics that can help us to guess which species are likely to be longer-lived:
Number of chicks:Birds with longer lifespans often have fewer young, while those with shorter lifespans tend to have more.
Years to reach adulthood:Shorter-lived species tend to reach adulthood more quickly than longer-lived species.
Life on the ground: Birds that live in the nest on the ground have often adapted for shorter lifespans than those that live higher up, such as in the shelter of the tree canopy.
The Guitar is a fretted musical instrument that typically has six strings. Apart from normal guitars electric guitars, first patented in 1937. Electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies; solid bodies produce little sound without amplification. The sound is frequently modified by other electronic devices or the natural distortion of valves or the pre-amp in the amplifier. The first successful magnetic pickup for a guitar was invented by George Beauchamp, and incorporated into the 1931 Ro-Pat-In (later Rickenbacker) “Frying Pan” lap steel; other manufacturers, notably Gibson, soon began to install pickups in archtop models. Well..! Take a look at the evolution of electric guitars…..
The Rickenbacker “Frying Pan” 1931 Manufactured by Rickenbacker Electro. The Frying Pan was created in 1931 by George Beauchamp. The name was derived from the flat body and its neck ‘handle’. It was designed to cash in on the popularity of Hawaiian music.
The Rickenbacker “Electro String” 1935 Created by Electro String, its name was changed to Rickenbacker. Was sold until 1953 when FC Hall a California music-business entity acquired it.
Les Paul “Log” 1941 Les Paul’s “Log” has a Gibson pickup mounted on a 4×4 block of solid maple wood with strings. He attached the body of an Epiphone hollow-body guitar for improving the instrument’s aesthetics, and for the purpose of reducing feedback and increasing acoustic sustenance. These were constantly modified by Paul, and the famous instrument designer used them long after creating his eponymous Gibson model.
Bigsby-Travis Guitar 1947 Best known as the creator of “Bigsby Vibrato”, Paul Bigsby’s instrument was important in the development of solid-body electric guitars. These have all six tuners on one side of the headstock, as opposed to the three-a-side headstock arrangement popular during that time.
Fender Broadcaster (Telecaster) 1948 With less focus on design, Leo Fender created a regular guitar that had clear sound. The Broadcaster is a two pickup model, and its necks are incorporated with truss rods. Since it violates the trademark for its Broadcaster line of drums, Fender changed its name to Telecaster.
Gibson Les Paul 1952 A design collaboration between Les Paul and Gibson Guitar Corporation gave birth to the Gibson Les Paul after the introduction of Telecaster created a rage for electric guitars. Les Paul went through 50-60 prototypes before finalizing the design.
Fender Stratocaster 1954 Often referred to as “Strat”. This instrument is a model of the electric guitar designed by Leo Fender, George Fullerton, and Freddie Tavares in 1954. It has a double cut-away neck with beveled edges, a Fender engineered “tremolo” unit in the floating bridge, and three pickups – the first solid body guitar to be fitted with such an arrangement.
Van Halen “Frankenstrat” 1979 Made from an ash Stratocaster body with a routing, Frankenstrat was Eddie Van Halen’s idea of combining a Fender and a Gibson. It had a maple neck, chrome hardware. And red, black, and white stripes. It also made a mark for hyper-fast technical playing.
Jackson Randy Rhoads 1982 Commissioned by guitarist Randy Rhoads, it was supposed to be called The Original Sin. He wanted to produce a guitar that resembled a shark’s fin. The vibrato in the guitar is of very high quality, and the pickups are designed to capture the treble more efficiently. Vinnie Vincent, formerly of Kiss, was the first professional guitarist to be offered an early Rhoads guitar by Jackson after Rhoads’ death.
Ibanez 7-String Guitar 1994 The seven-string, solid-body guitar became famous when the band Korn featured the Ibanez Universe in their 1994 debut album. Today. The 7-string still rumbles on with Muse, Dream theater etc.
Guitar Hero Controller The series has helped to rekindle music education in children. Many consider Guitar Hero to be one of the most influential products of the first decade of the 21st century, attributing it as the spark leading to the growth of the rhythm-game market, for boosting music sales for new and old artists.
Guitar Hero Live 2015 Once again taking the shape of the old faithful fender Stratocaster. This guitar takes on a new approach with a 6-fret design arranged in two rows of three. The frets are represented by three scrolling lanes on-screen, containing either black or white notes representing the two rows. Due to the new design, the controller cannot be used for backwards compatibility with other guitar hero games.
Horticulture, the branch of plant agriculture dealing with garden crops, generally fruits,vegetables, and ornamental plants. The Horticulture falls between domestic gardening and field agriculture, through all forms of cultivation naturally have close links.
It is divided into the cultivation of plants for food and plants for ornament. Pomology deals with fruit and nut crops. Oliericuture deals with herbaceous plants for the kitchen, including, for example carrots, cauliflower. Floriculture deals with the production of flowers and ornamental plants; generally, cut flowers, pot plants, and greenery. Landscape Horticulture is a broad category that includes plants for the landscape, including lawn turf but particularly nursery crops such as shrubs, trees, and vines. The specialisation of the horticulture and the success of the crop are influenced by many factors. Among these are climate, terrain, and other regional variations.
HORTICULTURAL REGIONS :
TEMPERATURE ZONES :
Temperature zones for horticulture cannot be defined exactly by lines of latitude or longitude but are usually regarded as including those areas where frost in winter occurs, even though rarely. Thus, most parts of Europe, North America and Northern Asia are included, though some parts of the United States, such as southern Florida, are considered subtropical. The temperature zones are also the areas of the grasses – the finest lawns particularly are in the regions of moderate or high rainfall- and of the great cereal crops. Rice is excluded as being tropical, but wheat, barley, corn and Rye grow well in the temperature zones. Plants in the temperature zones benefit from a winter resting season, which clearly differentiates them from tropical plants which tend to grow continuously. Most of the great gardens of the world have been developed in temperature zones. Particular features such as rose gardens, herbaceous borders, annual borders, woodland gardens, and rock gardens are also those of temperature zone gardens. Nearly all depends for their success on the winter resting period.
TROPICAL ZONES :
There is no sharp line of demarcation between the topics and the subtropics. Just as many tropical plants can be cultivated in the subtropics, so also many subtropical and even temperature plants can be grown satisfactorily in the tropics. Elevation is a determining factor. In addition to Elevation, another determinant is the annual distribution of rainfall. Plants that grow and flower in the monsoon areas, as in India, will not succeed where the climate is uniformly wet. Another factor is the length of day, the number of hours the sun is above the horizon;some plants flower only if the day is long, but others make their growth during the long days and flower when the day is short. In the tropics of Asia and parts of central and south America, the dominant features of the gardens are flowering trees, shrubs, and climbers. Herbaceous plants are relatively few, but many kinds of orchids can be grown.
PROPAGATION :
propagation is the controlled perpetuation of plants,is the most basic of Horticulture practices . It’s two objectives are to achieve an increase in numbers and to preserve the essential characteristics of the plant. Propagation can be achieved sexually by seed or asexually by utilising specialised vegetative structures of the plant or by employing such techniques are cutting, layering, grafting and tissue culture
SEED PROPAGATION :
The most common method of propagation for self- pollinated plants is by seed. In self-pollinated plants,the sperm nuclei in pollen produced by a flower fertilize egg cells of a flower on the same plant. Propagation by seed is also used widely for many cross- pollinated plants pollen is carried from one plant to another. The practice of saving seed to plant the following year has developed into a specialized part of horticulture. Seed technology involves all of the steps necessary ensure production of seed with high viability, freedom from disease, purity, and trueness to type. These processes may include specialized growing and harvesting techniques, cleaning, and distribution. Germination in such seed may be accomplished by treatment to remove these inhibitors. This may involve cold stratification, storing seed at high relative humidity and low temperatures, usually slightly above freezing. Cold stratification is a prerequisite to the uniform germination of many temperature-zone species such as apple, bear, and redbud.
VEGETATIVE PROPAGATION :
Asexual or vegetative reproduction is based on the ability of plants to regenerate tissues and parts. In many plants vegetative propagation is a completely natural process; in others it is an artificial one. It has may advantages. These include the unchanged prepetuation of naturally cross pollimated palnts and the possibility of propagation seedless progeny. Vegetative propagation is accomplished be use of
Apomictic seed
Specialized vegetatice structres such as runners, bulbs, corms, rhizomes, offshoot, tubers, stems and roots.

Managing the time is very important. Many of the people don’t know how to manage the time. Let us now know some of the time management techniques and how to use them.
•Make schedules:-
Making schedules is one of the best methods to manage the time. All you have to do is, think of the things what you have to do on a particular day and allot some particular time for each activity. Complete particular activity in the allotted time. When the work takes too much time, then leave it aside and go for another work. Whenever all the work is finished, go for the work which is unanswered in the beginning and complete it. This is how schedules helps for time management and makes the proper use of the time.
•Don’t spend much time on one thing:-
Spending much time on a particular thing disturbe the individual and disturbs the concentration. So, to focus on the work, an individual must go for some another work whenever they get bored on a particular work. So, it helps to focus on the work and for not wasting the time.
Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to spend on specific activities. BENEFITS OF TIME MANAGEMENT :
The ability to manage your time effectively is important. Good time management leads to improved EFFICIENCY and productivity, less stress, and more success in life. Here are some benefits of managing time effectively:
STRESS RELIEF : Making and following a task schedule reduces anxiety. As you check off items on your ” to- do” list, you can see that you are avoid feeling stressed out with worry about whether you’re getting things done.
2.MORE TIME : Good time management gives you extra time to spend in your daily life. People who can time- manage effectively enjoy having more time to spend on hobbies or other personal pursuits.
MORE OPPORTUNITIES: Managing time well leads to more opportunities and less time wasted on trivial activities. Good time management skills are key qualities that employes look for. The ability to prioritize and schedule work is extremely desirable for any organisation.
4.ABILITY TO REALIZE GOALS : Individuals who practice good time management are able to better achieve goals and objectives, and do so in a shorter length of time.
LIST OF TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE TIME MANAGEMENT:
1.SET GOALS CORRECTLY: Set goals that are achievable and measurable. Use the SMART method when setting goals. In essence, make sure the goals you set are specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely.
2.PRIORITIZE WISELY : Prioritize tasks based on importance and urgency. For example, look at your daily tasks and determine which are :
Important and urgent : Do these tasks right away.
Important but not urgent : Decide when to do these tasks.
Urgent but not important: Delegate these tasks if possible.
Not urgent and not important : set these aside to do later.
3.SET A TIME LIMIT TO COMPLETE A TASK : Setting time constraints for completing tasks helps you be more focused and efficient. Making the small extra effort to decide on how much time you need to allot for each task can also help you recognise potential problems before theyv arise. That way you can make plans for dealing with them.
4.TAKE A BREAK BETWEEN TASKS: When doing alot of tasks without a break, it is harder to stay focused and motivated. Allow some downtime between tasks to clear your head and refresh yourself. Consider grabbing a brief nap, going for a short walk, or meditating.
5.ORGANISE YOURSELF : Utilise your calendar for more long term time management. Write down the deadlines for projects, or for tasks that are part of completing the overall project. Think about which days might be best to dedicate to specific tasks. For example, you might need to plan a meeting to discuss cash flow on a day when you know the company CFO is available.
6.REMOVE NON- ESSENTIAL TASKS : It is important to remove excess activities or tasks. Determine what is significant and what deserves your time. Removing non- essential tasks frees up more of your time to be spent on genuinely important things
IMPLICATIONS OF POOR TIME MANAGEMENT :
Let us consider the consequences of poor time management ;
PLAN AHEAD : Make sure you start everyday with a clear idea of what you need to do- what needs to get done THAT DAY. consider making it a habit to, at the end of each workday, go ahead and write out your ” to- do” list for the next workday. That way you can hit the ground running the next morning.

It was in 2017 when I was in the 10th Std. The first term exams were approaching. Every year my family and I go on an outing. Previously we went to Agra-Delhi-Haridwar-Jammu. A year before that, we visited the Tirupati temple and also traveled to Tamil Nadu. But since it was my 10th std this year, my parents were reluctant of planning a trip. I requested, almost begged because we hadn’t traveled in the summer vacation because of my ongoing classes. Also, the year was too hectic and I needed a break. After a lot of melodrama, my parents agreed.
My cousin’s and my family planned a trip together to Goa. We traveled by air to Goa and returned back by train. We reached Goa within an hour. That would have been the shortest journey so far. Since it was a late-night flight, having reached our hotels, we just slept. The next day after having our breakfast, we traveled to few places nearby. We could see the splendid beauty of nature. ‘Heaven’ as they say, truly, it is! We, then, went to a beach where we could go on a dolphin-watching boat tour. We wore the life jackets, boarded our boat, and maneuvered towards the open sea. After some time, we could literally see dolphins swimming to the surface of the water. Dolphin is one of the most charismatic sea dwellers. They were a feast for eyes. Besides, we could also gaze at Goa’s very old Portuguese jail and the Millioniers palace from our boat. It was a mesmerizing experience.

We then went to Calangute beach. Unlike Mumbai’s beaches, Goan beaches were clean and beautiful, had clear water and the blissful faces of the exuberant people enjoying there made us even more excited. No sooner we reached the beach, than my cousins and I jumped into the water. We also tried water sports. My cousins and I did jet-skiing, while my dad and uncle did parasailing. We, indeed, had an amazing time there. Since no one was willing to move out from the beach, we spent the rest of the day on the beach itself. Then, tired and sleepy, we headed back to our hotel. Another day rises, bringing in more excitement. We now visited the old Goa church- The basilica of Bom Jesus. It is a Roman Catholic-basilica and a UNESCO world heritage site. It is popular as it holds the remains of St. Francis Xavier. It was colossal and a magnificent church, as beautiful and auspicious. Then we went to the Mangesh temple. It is a Shiv temple and the largest in Goa. This temple was built before the Portuguese invasion in the 1500s. Next, we headed towards the Dona Paula jetty. It was a beautiful view there. Open sky, sea-facing, and mild wind. It couldn’t get any better! But this day was quite sunny, and we had a tough time out in the sun.
Water sport at Calangute and The Old Goa Church
Our third day was exclusively dedicated to site seeing. We visited various places across Goa and one of them was Aquada fort. The fort was originally constructed in 1612 to guard against the Dutch. It was a sea fort and we could gaze and enjoy the scenic beauty of nature as well as the sea. We then went shopping at the Panaji market. The market disappointed us though. We had heard a lot about it but it turned out like any other normal market you visit weekly. After the sunset, we went on a Cruise ship. As we got engrossed in watching the spellbinding view, the management, then, delighted us with live performances which included Goan and Konkani dances. The host later called everybody on the dance floor and we enjoyed ourselves a lot- dancing, clicking pictures, singing, etc. This was the end of our amazing trip. Indeed, Goa is a place not for a one-time visit, as your heart would want to visit here again and again!
Since the time Earth developed the quality of sustaining life, life has always gone under the process of evolution. Life started from single celled organisms and developed stage by stage. One organism extinct to develop into its better developed species or even at times it happens that some animals get erased from the surface of the earth due to extreme environmental condition.
EXTINCT ANIMALS: Species of animals which existed in the surface of the earth once upon a time but has no current existence, this may have been a result of extreme environmental condition or some other condition for existence. For example, we have dinosaurs, Dodo.
ENDANGERED ANIMALS: The species of animals which have only a few animals left on the surface of the earth and are in the mouth of being extinct are known as endangered, currently this is a result of poaching i.e., unethical killing of wild animals with purpose or change in the climate due to pollution and other factors. For example, we have the Royal Bengal Tiger.
We cannot do anything for the species which are extinct but we can definitely take steps and save our endangered species. Poaching laws should be made stricter and it should be taken care that people follow them.
Different types of animals :
Scientists sort the different types of animals in the world into categories based on certain characteristics. Animals are generally grouped into six types of aninals. The system for animal classifications is called taxonomy.
The Animal Kingdom :
All animals belong to a biological kingdom called kingdom Animalia. This kingdom is then broken down into over 30 groups. About 75% of all species on earth are aninals. Animals are then broken down into two types : vertebrates and invertebrates.
* Animals with a backbone are vertebrates.
* vertebrates belong to the phylum called phylum chordata.
* vertebrates are classified into five classes. They are amphibians, birds, fish,mammals, and reptiles.
* Animals without a backbone are invertebrates.
* Most invertebrates are in the phylum Arthropoda.
1. Amphibians :
All amphibians are vertebrates, and they need moist environment or water to survive.
* They are cold- blooded.
* They absorb water and breathe through their thin skin
* They have at least one special king gland used for defense.
* Most follow the life cycle of egg-larva- adult.
* examples : frog , newts, salamanders, toads.
2. Birds
Birds are a type of warm- blooded vertebrate that are adapted to fly.
* Not all birds can fly, but they do all have wings.
* Birds have beaks that help them catch and swallow food.
* The digestive system of a bird allows it to eat whenever it can and digest that food later.
* Birds lay egg to reproduce.
* They are endothermic, mening they maintain their own constant body temperature.
* They are bipedal, which means they have two legs.
* They have hollow bones and their bodies are covered in feathers.
Mammals are another type of vertebrate that belongs to the class Mammalia.
* young mammals get nourishment from milk produced by their mothers.
* Most mammals have hair.
* Their jaw is hinged directly to their skull unlike all other vertebrates.
* Almost aĺl mammals give birth to live bsbies.
* They are endothermic, or warm- blooded.
* Examples : there are over 5500 living species of mammals all over the world. Aardvarks, bats, elephants, hamsters, human, rabbits, rhinoceroses, whales.
5. Reptiles :
Reptiles are thought to be the first vertebrates to live completely on land. But, not all reptiles live only on land today.
* They are cold- blodded, or ectothermic
* They lay eggs to reproduce.
* They have four legs or descended from animals with four legs.
Approximately 95% of all animals are invertebrates. Invertebrates do not have a backbone. There are different types of invertebrates, but they all share a few characteristics.
• They are made up of many cells that work together, or multicellular.
• Most, but not all have tissues, cells that work together in a more complex way.
• Most, but not all, can move.
• There are over 35 phyla of invertebrates.
• They generally have soft babies.
● Types of Invertebrates :
There are eight phyla of invertebrayes that are alive today.
* Annelida – have a segmented body and primitive brain
* Arthropoda – have jointed appendages and an exoskeleton.
* Cnidaria – have tissues and an incomplete digestive system
* echinodermata – have some type of spiny structure on their bodies
* Mollusca – generally have sofy bodies and a hard exoskeleton.
* Nematoda – unsegmented with worm- shaped bodies
* platyhelminthes – have soft, ribbon- like worms with no respiratory system.
* porifera – multicellular organisms living in water with no organs or tissues.

BTS made guest appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” starring Jimmy Fallon on 13th and 14th July. On second day, they performed “Butter” – The No. 1 song on Billboard Hot 100 charts for the last seven weeks, in a location that shocked not only Army’s but also many more people around the world. They performed on the “World Cup Bridge”. Which is under construction, the bridge is planned to cross the Han River in Seoul, South Korea and connect to the Mapo District and Yeongdeungpo District. This bridge is set to open to the public in August 2021.
As you can see in the video this is not pre-recorded. They did all the choreography, with live audio, and rigged up a light show that was coordinated with the song. And! Jimmy Fallon and his show just got their names on a major architectural construction in Seoul that hasn’t even opened yet, it’s an ultimate gift for Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show.
BTS has previously borrowed the National Museum of Korea, a historical palace, Seoul’s Incheon International Airport, a Mall and a theatre. When the world was still vibing on “Butter” and the Army was busy breaking their own record of “Dynamite” for “Butter” the band dropped their newest single “Permission to Dance”. “Butter” has spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their fourth No. 1 after “Dynamite”.
The biggest boy band in the world BTS members RM, Jin, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V and Jungkook dropped their newest single “Permission to Dance” on last friday (9th July) as you can see in the mv they converted the sign language into choreography and showed respect to almost everyone. I don’t understand how can someone still hate them. Criticizing someone is really easy but appreciating someone for their work is so hard.
“Butter” has spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming their fourth No. 1 after “Dynamite”. BTS is the most successful music groups in Guinness World Records history, alongside other chart topper like Ariana Grande, Madonna.
No one is saying you have to like BTS but saying that they have no talent can easily debunked.
They are making their whole nation feel proud, everyday they are setting new records, like “Suga” said, “They just want to make people happy with their music”. BTS is breaking their own records with their talent and with their killer looks. Remember before posting trash about them that “They have got ARMY right behind them, ALWAYS” cause,

Celebrities can influence the taste, preference and beliefs of the public. They can make powerful Influence in the minds of consumers about the product and services which they endorse. A popular face can communicate more than any advertisement using a model. It will lead to mass brand sale. Companies use stars to endorse any products and services like food, soft drinks, soaps, perfumes, hair oil, cosmetics, home appliances, mobile networks, mobile phones, electronic equipment, health products, automobile etc. Even political parties are influenced by the charisma of stars because of the magnetism of stars in the country. In the recent parliament election major political parties fielded a record number of stars from different constituencies around the country. South Indian star Nagma, Innocent and Suresh Gopi from Malayalam industry, Anitha Prathap from media competed in election.
Factors of successful celebrity branding
1) Consistency and long-term Commitment
As with branding, companies should try to maintain consistency between the endorser and the brand to establish a strong personality and identity. More importantly, companies should view celebrity endorsements as long-term strategic decisions affecting the brand. A global must respect local needs, wants, and tastes while endorsing.
2) Prerequisites to Selecting Celebrities
Before signing on celebrities to endorse their brands, companies need to ensure that they meet three basic prerequisites, namely the endorser should be attractive, have a positive image in society, and be perceived as having the necessary knowledge (although it might be difficult for a celebrity to meet all three prerequisites.
3) Celebrity-Brand match
Companies should ensure a match between the brand being endorsed and the endorser so that the endorsements are able to strongly influence the thought process of consumers and create a positive perception of the brand. Tiger Woods endorsing the Buick brand makes no sense at all. There is just no believability that Tiger is dying to drive a Buick. And without believability celebrity endorsement is worthless.
4) Constant monitoring
Companies should monitor the behavior, conduct and public image of the endorser continuously to minimize any potential negative publicity.
5) Selecting Unique Endorsers
Great brands represent great ideas. These brands express the uniqueness of position to all internal and external audiences. Companies should try to bring on board those celebrities who do not endorse competitors’ products or other quite different products, so that there is a clear transfer of personality and identity between the endorser and the brand. The controversy related to the endorser’s personal or professional life must hamper the associated brand image. Kobe Bryant’s family-friendly endorsement deals with Nutella and McDonald’s came to a quick end after he was accused of rape.
6) Timing
As celebrities command a high price tag, companies should be on the constant lookout for emerging celebrities who show some promise and potential and sign them on in their formative years.
The benefits of celebrity branding
