Thanksgiving Celebration

Thanksgiving in the United States is a cherished holiday celebrated annually on the fourth Thursday of November. In 2024, Thanksgiving will fall on November 28th. This holiday is one of the most significant in the American calendar, deeply rooted in history, culture, and tradition. Below, we will explore the history, traditions, and modern-day celebrations associated with this special occasion.

Historical Background

The origins of Thanksgiving can be traced back to the early 17th century. The holiday commemorates a feast shared between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Native Americans in 1621, which is widely regarded as the first Thanksgiving.

The Pilgrims: A group of English Puritans, seeking religious freedom, sailed to the New World on the Mayflower and established the Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts.

The Wampanoag Tribe: The indigenous people of the region who helped the struggling Pilgrims survive their first harsh winter by teaching them local agricultural practices.

The First Feast: In the fall of 1621, after a successful harvest, the Pilgrims held a three-day feast to thank God for their blessings and invited the Wampanoag people as guests. This feast included dishes like venison, wildfowl, corn, beans, and squash—quite different from today’s traditional Thanksgiving meal.

Though the Pilgrims’ feast in 1621 is considered the first Thanksgiving, it was not initially a national holiday. The concept of an annual Thanksgiving observance was promoted by various figures over the years.

Sarah Josepha Hale, a writer and editor, campaigned for a national Thanksgiving holiday for nearly 17 years. Her efforts culminated in 1863 when President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Thursday of November, aiming to foster unity during the Civil War.

In 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a bill officially designating the fourth Thursday in November as the national Thanksgiving holiday, which solidified its place in American culture.

Traditional Thanksgiving Customs

Thanksgiving is a time for family, gratitude, and reflection. The holiday brings together loved ones to share a special meal and give thanks for their blessings. Here are some of the most beloved traditions:

1. The Thanksgiving Feast

The centerpiece of Thanksgiving is the grand meal. Typical dishes include:

Roast Turkey: Often the star of the meal, turkey is usually roasted and stuffed with a mixture of bread, herbs, and other ingredients.

Stuffing (or Dressing): A savory blend of bread cubes, vegetables, herbs, and sometimes sausage, either cooked inside the turkey or separately.

Mashed Potatoes: Creamy and buttery mashed potatoes are a staple side dish.

Cranberry Sauce: A sweet and tangy sauce made from cranberries, adding a tart contrast to the savory flavors.

Gravy: Made from the turkey’s pan drippings, it is often poured over the turkey and mashed potatoes.

Green Bean Casserole: A popular side dish combining green beans, cream of mushroom soup, and crispy fried onions.

Sweet Potatoes (or Yams): Often baked with marshmallows or brown sugar for a sweet twist.

Pumpkin Pie: The quintessential Thanksgiving dessert, often spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

2. Giving Thanks

Before the meal, families often take a moment to express gratitude for the year’s blessings. This tradition aligns with the original spirit of Thanksgiving, emphasizing the importance of gratitude, humility, and togetherness.

3. Parades

The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is one of the most famous Thanksgiving events. It features giant helium balloons shaped like popular characters, elaborate floats, marching bands, and performances by celebrities. The parade, broadcasted on television, has become a part of the holiday tradition for millions of viewers.

4. Football Games

Thanksgiving is synonymous with American football. The tradition of Thanksgiving Day football games dates back to the early 20th century. The National Football League (NFL) hosts several games on Thanksgiving, with teams like the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys traditionally playing on this day. Families and friends often gather around the TV to watch these games together.

5. Turkey Pardoning

The Presidential Turkey Pardon is a quirky modern tradition where the President of the United States “pardons” a live turkey, sparing it from becoming someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. This lighthearted ceremony, held at the White House, usually takes place a few days before the holiday.

Modern-Day Celebrations and Variations

While the traditional Thanksgiving customs are still widely observed, modern-day celebrations have evolved to include diverse cultural influences and personal family traditions.

1. Friendsgiving

An increasingly popular variation of Thanksgiving is Friendsgiving, where friends gather to celebrate, often before or after the official holiday. It’s a more casual affair and a great way for those who may not have family nearby to enjoy the spirit of Thanksgiving.

2. Volunteering and Charity

Many people use the Thanksgiving holiday as an opportunity to give back to the community. Volunteering at soup kitchens, organizing food drives, or donating to charities are common ways to help those in need during the holiday season.

3. Travel

Thanksgiving is one of the busiest travel times in the United States, as millions of people journey to reunite with family and friends. Airports, train stations, and highways are often packed with travelers in the days leading up to and following the holiday.

The Day After Thanksgiving: Black Friday

The day after Thanksgiving marks the start of the holiday shopping season, known as Black Friday. Retailers offer significant discounts, leading to a shopping frenzy as people hunt for the best deals on gifts and other items. Black Friday has grown into a global phenomenon, with some stores even opening on Thanksgiving night.

Fun Facts About Thanksgiving

Turkey Talk: According to the National Turkey Federation, about 46 million turkeys are consumed on Thanksgiving Day in the U.S.

Cranberry Connection: Cranberries, a staple of the Thanksgiving table, are one of only three commercially grown fruits native to North America (along with blueberries and Concord grapes).

Leftovers Galore: The day after Thanksgiving is sometimes called “Leftovers Day”, where families creatively use leftover turkey and sides in new dishes like turkey sandwiches, soups, and casseroles.

Conclusion

Thanksgiving is a unique blend of historical significance, heartfelt traditions, and modern adaptations, making it one of the most cherished holidays in the United States. It serves as a reminder to appreciate the simple joys of life, to spend quality time with loved ones, and to extend kindness and gratitude to others. Whether through a traditional feast, volunteering, or simply gathering with friends, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the past year’s blessings and celebrate the spirit of togetherness.

Psychology

Psychology has become a very important and popular subject today. It deals with many problems of everyday life. Psychology helps us to understand the behaviour of people around us, to find out why they behave differently and what forces are responsible to make them so different from others.It tries to explain wide array of factors involved in what we human beings do. The principles explained by psychology give us a rational basis of understanding of what we and others do. Psychology has been defined in many ways. In ancient days people were analysing the behavioural aspects on the basis of philosophy. They believed that there is a soul in every individual and this is responsible for all our activities.
This view led to the opinion that the subject matter of psychology must be the study of soul. But this definition could not answer the questions regarding the existence of soul and its accessibility for study. This condition led to a new definition by Greek philosophers who defined psychology as a ‘science of mind’. But this definition was also rejected on the same grounds as soul was rejected.

Gradually, as a result of the development of scientific outlook people started thinking on scientific basis and began to define psychology as a science of behaviour. Finally, it is JB Watson (1913) defined psychology as a science of behaviour of human as well as animal beings.Today this is the most accepted definition. In this definition the term behaviour includes the cognitive activities like thinking, reasoning, intelligence, imagining, memory, etc., co-native activities like walking, dancing, fighting, attacking and other action tendencies and also the affective activities like feeling, joy, happiness, sympathy, anger, jealousy, etc. in a person. This definition also includes the behaviour not only of human beings and animals, but also all living organisms and their mental processes.

Psychologists do experiments and make observations which others can repeat; they obtain data often in the form of quantitative measurements which others can verify. Like any other positive science psychology is also systematic in its approach. Measurement in psychology is often more difficult of course, than it is in other sciences.However, psychologists have devised many ingenious tests to assign numbers to data. Psychology is following all the principles of science like principles of behaviour,objective experimentation, analysis of data and behaviour, formulation of hypothesis, verification and generalization, etc.As a result of such a scientific approach many theories have been developed to explain the behaviour. Psychology believes in cause and effect relationship in behaviour. It is considered as a behavioural science as it deals with behaviour of the organism.

However, because of its objectivity in analysis of behaviour through experiments, it may be considered as a developing positive science of behaviour.


Psychology has a long past, but only a short history

Salient features of world’s physical geography.

Earth is splendid terrestrial haven. It is imperative to know physical geography through its display of environmental diversity. In scientific studies, it is established that Geography is a word that originated from two Greek roots. Geo-denotes to “Earth,” and graphy stands for “picture or writing.” Geography is the study of earth as the home of present day human being (Sagmit, 1998).The main objective of geography is the assessment, and explanation of Earth, its variability from place to place, the way places and features transform over time, and the processes responsible for these variations and changes. Geography is termed as the spatial science because it incorporates recognizing, analysing, and explaining the variations, similarities, or differences in phenomena situated on the surface of Earth. Geography is unique among the sciences by virtue of its characterization and central purpose. It describes the values and attitudes towards environment and sharpen intellectual and practice skill.

Earth’s structure is divided into three zones that include crust, Mantle and core. Crust is the solid outer layer of the Earth, and its depth is usually never more than 1 per cent of the Earth’s radius, or averaging 40–50 km, but this varies significantly around the sphere. These are two different types: oceanic and continental. Mantle is the region within the Earth’s interior that range from 25 to 70 km below the surface, to a depth of ~2,900 km. It is composed mainly of silicate rocks, rich in iron and magnesium. At the base of the mantle, temperatures may reach up to 5,000°C. These high temperatures may help to generate convection currents which drive plate tectonics. Core is the very centre of the Earth and is composed of iron and nickel. It consists of an outer core (semi-molten) and inner core (solid). The temperature at the very centre of the Earth (~6,300 km below surface) may reach 5,500°C.

Geography is inherently encompassing discipline. It brings together facts from other sciences such as physical biological and social. Physical geography is related to the physical science. Physical geography includes the processes and attributes that constitute Earth which incorporate human activities where they interface with the atmosphere. Different branches of Physical geography are climatology, Meteorology, Geomorphology and pedageography (Sagmit, 1998).Scientific studies have revealed that physical geographers are more interested in comprehending all aspects of Earth and can be considered generalists because they are qualified to scrutinize a natural environment in its entirety, and how it functions as a unit. In physical geography, researchers study about lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Due to interaction of these elements, numerous changes occur on earth surface. Most physical geographers concentrate on advanced study in one or two specialties. For instance, meteorologists and climatologists believe how the interaction of atmospheric components influences weather and climate. Meteorologists focus their studies learning the atmospheric processes that affect daily weather, and they use current data to predict weather conditions. Climatologists are interested in the averages and extremes of long-term weather data, regional classification of climates, monitoring and understanding climatic change and climatic hazard, and the long term impact of atmospheric conditions on human actions and the surroundings.

The factors involved in landform development are as varied as the environments on Earth, and include gravity, running water, stresses in the Earth’s crust, flowing ice in glaciers, volcanic activity, and the erosion or deposition of Earth’s surface materials. Biogeographers scrutinize natural and human-modified environments and the ecological processes that influence their characteristics and distributions, including vegetation change over time. They also research and explain the ranges and patterns of vegetation and animal species, seeking to find out the environmental factors that limit or facilitate their distributions. Several soil scientists are geographers, who are concerned in mapping and analysing soil types, determining the aptness of soils for certain uses, such as agriculture, and working to conserve soil as a natural resource. Geographers are broadly concerned to study water bodies and their processes, movements, impact, quality, and other features. They may serve as hydrologists, oceanographers, or glaciologists. Many geographers involved with water studies also function as water resource managers, who work to ensure that lakes, watersheds, springs, and groundwater sources are suitable to meet human or environmental needs, provide an adequate water supply, and are as free of pollution as possible. Hydrology is merging science. It helps to understand the processes in which water plays an important role in nature through oceans, rivers and glaciers in sustaining life forms of earth surface.


IN OUR CHANGING WORLD NOTHING CHANGES MORE THAN GEOGRAPHY

General issues on Environmental ecology

The environment plays a significant role to support life on earth. But there are some issues that are causing damages to life and the ecosystem of the earth. It is related to the not only environment but with everyone that lives on the planet. Besides, its main source is pollution, global warming, greenhouse gas, and many others. The everyday activities of human are constantly degrading the quality of the environment which ultimately results in the loss of survival condition from the earth.There are hundreds of issue that causing damage to the environment. But in this, we are going to discuss the main causes of environmental issues because they are very dangerous to life and the ecosystem.

Pollution – It is one of the main causes of an environmental issue because it poisons the air, water, soil, and noise. As we know that in the past few decades the numbers of industries have rapidly increased. Moreover, these industries discharge their untreated waste into the water bodies, on soil, and in air. Most of these wastes contain harmful and poisonous materials that spread very easily because of the movement of water bodies and wind. Greenhouse Gases – These are the gases which are responsible for the increase in the temperature of the earth surface. This gases directly relates to air pollution because of the pollution produced by the vehicle and factories which contains a toxic chemical that harms the life and environment of earth. Climate Changes – Due to environmental issue the climate is changing rapidly and things like smog, acid rains are getting common. Also, the number of natural calamities is also increasing and almost every year there is flood, famine, drought, landslides, earthquakes, and many more calamities are increasing.

Development recognises that social, economic and environmental issues are interconnected, and that decisions must incorporate each of these aspects if there are to be good decisions in the longer term.For sustainable development, accurate environment forecasts and warnings with effective information on pollution which are essential for planning and for ensuring safe and environmentally sound socio-economic activities should be made known.


THE EARTH IS WHAT WE
ALL HAVE IN COMMAN

History of India & Indian National Movement.

Early times the Indian subcontinent appears to have provided an attractive habitat for human occupation. Toward the south it is effectively sheltered by wide expanses of ocean, which tended to isolate it culturally in ancient times, while to the north it is protected by the massive ranges of the Himalayas, which also sheltered it from the Arctic winds and the air currents of Central Asia. Only in the northwest and northeast is there easier access by land, and it was through those two sectors that most of the early contacts with the outside world took place.

Within the framework of hills and mountains represented by the Indo-Iranian borderlands on the west, the Indo-Myanmar borderlands in the east, and the Himalayas to the north, the subcontinent may in broadest terms be divided into two major divisions: in the north, the basins of the Indus and Ganges (Ganga) rivers (the Indo-Gangetic Plain) and, to the south, the block of Archean rocks that forms the Deccan plateau region. The expansive alluvial plain of the river basins provided the environment and focus for the rise of two great phases of city life: the civilization of the Indus valley, known as the Indus civilization, during the 3rd millennium BCE; and, during the 1st millennium BCE, that of the Ganges. To the south of this zone, and separating it from the peninsula proper, is a belt of hills and forests, running generally from west to east and to this day largely inhabited by tribal people. This belt has played mainly a negative role throughout Indian history in that it remained relatively thinly populated and did not form the focal point of any of the principal regional cultural developments of South Asia. However, it is traversed by various routes linking the more-attractive areas north and south of it. The Narmada (Narbada) River flows through this belt toward the west, mostly along the Vindhya Range, which has long been regarded as the symbolic boundary between northern and southern India.

India’s movement for Independence occurred in stages elicit by the inflexibility of the Britishers and in various instances, their violent responses to non-violent protests. It was understood that the British were controlling the resources of India and the lives of its people, and as far as this control was ended India could not be for Indians.

On 28 December 1885 Indian National Congress (INC) was founded on the premises of Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit School at Bombay. It was presided over by W.C Banerjee and attended by 72 delegates. A.O Hume played an instrumental role in the foundation of INC with an aim to provide Safety Valve to the British Government.
A.O Hume served as the first General Secretary of INC.
The real Aim of Congress is to train the Indian youth in political agitation and to organise or to create public opinion in the country. For this, they use the method of an annual session where they discuss the problem and passed the resolution.
The first or early phase of Indian Nationalism is also termed as Moderate Phase (1885-1905). Moderate leaders were W.C Banerjee, Gopal Krishna Gokhale, R.C Dutt, Ferozeshah Mehta, George Yule, etc.
Moderates have full faith in British Government and adopted the PPP path i.e. Protest, Prayer, and Petition.
Due to disillusionment from Moderates’ methods of work, extremism began to develop within the congress after 1892. The Extremist leaders were Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal, and Aurobindo Ghosh. Instead of the PPP path, they emphasise on self-reliance, constructive work, and swadeshi.
With the announcement of the Partition of Bengal (1905) by Lord Curzon for administrative convenience, Swadeshi and Boycott resolution was passed in 1905.

HUSTLE CULTURE A TREND OR TRENDING PROBLEM FOR THE YOUTH?

http://thesolmag.com

The youth are more affected by this culture & it’s making their life miserable and the most important thing is they just don’t know how to stop worrying enough about it. 

The Orthodox or popular opinion of becoming successful and achieving it all very fast ; the ultimate respect status that comes with being the all achiever is Hustle culture, driven by the desire for more. 

We are compelled to believe that time is running out and that we must do more, achieve more in less time. The most essential goal in your life should be to prioritise achievement over anything else. It shouldn’t be a big deal to sacrifice your mental and physical health for your life satisfaction. As a consequence, the youth begins to believe. We are constantly seeking more from ourselves, others, and our life. Hustle culture arose from this constant desire for more. It’s also on the upswing.

Now wanting more isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but when it becomes excessive, it’s time to act.

Signs that you are a hustler :

1. You never stop overthinking –
Overanalyzing your life and ambitions lead you to constantly put self-limiting beliefs on yourself. Resulting in dread of the judgement, and assumption of the consequences which makes it worse.


2. You want to accomplish everything in one day – Being impatient with your goals and believing that completing more tasks more quickly than others will give you greater recognition and popularity.

3.You want to attain long-term goals in the short term- You focus on making the big leap instead of comprehending that it takes time, patience, and efforts to accomplish anything. Trying to skip the intermediate phases but fail and are left feeling unmotivated.


4. Trying to do all and more at once – You multitask all the time and put your work and aspirations before your needs for rest, sleep, and self-care.


5. Validation is what matters most to you – when people appreciate your achievements and proficiencies, your desire is stoked, but when it doesn’t, you spiral into self-doubt.

6.You are a materialistic life seeker – Quality of life and ideas don’t interest you & latest trends do. You are leading a typical life because you don’t know how to live otherwise

7.You feel guilty for not being productive enough– Often you feel terrible for putting comfort before your goals. Exhausting yourself completely is part of the process towards success.

8. Being ignorant about you mental health– As you pursue a career-oriented lifestyle, believing that this is the only way to gain respect and prestige, you start comparing yourself to others who are ahead of you and the seeds of self-doubt begin to grown in you.

9.You don’t put your health first – Your health is your most valuable asset and should always be prioritised above all else. Unfortunately, people frequently disregard this and endanger it in pursuit of mediocre accomplishments.

If you think you’re hustler, it’s time to take a moment and reflect. Hope you found this helpful.

Internet Protocol

What is an IP address?

An IP address abbreviation of Internet Protocol address, it is an address that is provided by the Internet Service Provider to the user, it is just like a postal address code that is pin code to find the location or place where to send the message.  An IP address is a unique group of number what are separated by the period (.), it varies from 0 to 255, and   every device has a separate and unique IP address that is assigned by the specific Internet Service Provider (ISP) to identify which particular device is communicating with them and accessing the internet from there.

Types of IP addresses

There are different types of IP based on different categories, types.

Consumer IP addresses

A Consumer IP addresses is the individual IP addresses of a customer who connects his/her  device to a public or private  network.  A consumer connects his device through internet from his Internet Service Provider, or from the Wi-Fi.  In these days the Consumer has many electronic gadgets which he connects to his router that transfer the data from the Internet Service Provider.

Private IP addresses

A  Private IP addresses are a secure one that is connected Private Network and every devices that is connected to this Private Network is assigned a unique IP address that is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.  All Mobile devices, Computer, and Internet of Things that are connected to this private network are assigned a unique string number to the devices.

Public IP addresses

A Public IP addresses is the main address that is related to your network, as stated above that the IP address are assigned by the Internet Service Provider, the Public IP address is also assigned by the Internet Service Provider, The Internet Service Provider has a large amount of IP addresses that are stored and assigned to the customer. The public IP address is the address that  devices that are outside the network use to identify the network.

The Public IP addresses are further classified into two types they are:

Government Budgeting

Description of the budget

The word ‘budget’ is derived from the French word, Bougette, which means a leather wallet or purse.Therefore, the term modern budget refers to a document that contains estimates of revenue and expenditure of a country, usually for one year.

Types of Budget

Budgets can be categorized based on the following principles:

  1. Combined time.
  2. Number of budget’s tabled in the legislature.
  3. The overall finance budget’s position is presented in the budget.
  4. An approved policy on the takeover of revenue and expenditure in the budget.
Division of receipts and expenses in the budget.

Based on these principles budget’s can be:(Annual budget’s or long-term budget’s.

  1. One or more budget’s.
  2. Excess budget’s, deficits or estimates.
  3. Budget or revenue budget.
  4. Departmental budget or operating budget.

A brief description of the different types is as follows
1. ANNUAL or long-term budget’s

Generally, Government budget’s are for one year that is, for one year. In India, England and many other commonwealth countries the financial year, starts on April 1 and ends on March 31, but in the U.S.A., Australia, Sweden and Italy the dates are 1st July and 30th June. Some countries adopt a planned economic policy and meet the requirements for long-term planning, using a long-term budget, that is, preparing a budget for three years or more. Such a budget is a long-term plan rather than a long-term budget because what is offered is a financial plan over the years to fund the program.These countries spread the use of program costs over many years. The legislature approves the plan and estimates its costs, but that does not equal the actual voting of all-time shares. Every year, the national budget will include expenditure on a plan for that year, to be approved by the legislature.

2. One or more budget’s

When the estimates of all Government functions are allocated to a single budget, it is known as a single budget. The advantage of a single budget is that it reflects the financpractisetion of the Government as a whole.But if there are separate budget-related budget’s passed by the legislature, it is called a mass budget. In India, we have two budget’s — one for the railway line and one for the rest of the departments. The practice of having a separate train budget began in 1921. In England, there is one budget.

3. Extra income, deficit or limited budget

A budget is a surplus if the estimated income exceeds the estimated cost/expense But if the expected revenue falls below the expected cost, it becomes a budget deficit. According to economists, a deficit budget is a sign of global development. A limited budget is when the expected revenue is equal to the expected cost/expense. Budgets are often in short supply.

4. Income or budget of income

A budget is one in which the estimates of various items of income and expenditure include amounts to be acquired or used in one year,.In revenue and expenditure budget’s, accumulated in one financial year,, are planned for that financial year, regardless of whether the revenue is available or expenses incurred in that financial year,. In India, Britain and the U.S.A., counts are calculated, in France and other continents, counting income.

5. Departmental or operational budget

The current practice is to have a departmental budget, that is, the revenue and expenses of one department are organized under it. It does not provide any information about the work or activity that has been budgeted for. The operating budget is another where the total cost of a particular project is compiled under the head of a specific program.It is organized into activities, programs, activities and projects, for example, in the case of collaboration (employment), it will be divided into programs such as higher education, Secondary and Higher Education. Each program will be divided into activities, for example, teacher training is a task. The project is the final unit of division of labor.It symbolizes work as a major project, such as the construction of a school building. The A.R.C. proposed the adoption of a budget for all the departments and agencies of the Central and provincial governments that have managed development programs.

Should student’s textbooks be replaced by notebook computers?


We don’t have to stop using textbooks, each has its pros and cons, and they are better suited to a given situation. We just have to use them in a healthy way, mostly electronic devices that are more likely to get someone added.

We must understand that this can and cannot be replaced, it mainly depends on the person who uses the electronic device and what applications are used. Students should be aware of the potential dangers of using these devices and how to avoid them. Computers should not replace textbooks because the use of computers reduces concentration, increases learning costs, and creates physical health problems.

With so many distractions, using a computer to study has a negative impact on students’ ability to focus on their work. Computers give students a lot of freedom, allowing them to deviate from a lesson planned by teachers, or even access sources with incorrect information. Students with below-average reading skills may find it difficult to keep up when they have to read everything from a textbook.

However, in order to learn effectively, textbooks must always be at the center of a student’s academic journey. Textbooks play an important role in a student’s learning process over the course of many years. Textbooks provide students with a way to learn about physics and help them process information in a way that is easier than on a screen. Each chapter of the textbook builds on what students have learned before so they have all the information they need to understand what is being taught.

Textbooks are limited in what they can offer students beyond the text and images on the page, and tablets offer users the ability to take notes and highlight without ruining the next student’s textbook. Students can easily avoid reading and analyzing text on their own because they can quickly look up passages in e-textbooks and search for answers online. Students are used to finding information electronically rather than manually reading textbooks. But Notepad makes it easier and easier for them to find the information they need, and they can get help with Google Search to find the answer.

You mean, students are willing to carry any outdated textbooks with them if they want to bring a computer or laptop and keep the details they need. The increasing use of tablets in place of printed textbooks will also help students have “light backpacks.” The tablet also offers a built-in dictionary, so students can easily look up words they don’t know without leaving the textbook. There are thousands of educational and instructional apps on the tablet, so teachers can tailor student learning to individual style/personality rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

As the popularity of tablets grows, many schools are debating whether to move from textbooks to tablets or introduce a personalized program on one computer that all students in the district can use. As tablets become more popular, many schools are debating whether to switch from textbooks to tablets and are also introducing one-on-one (one device per student) programs in their districts. Since everyone is always holding some sort of tech gadget in their hands, the idea that tablets are replacing textbooks in schools makes sense to a lot of people. Our society revolves around technology, so if we replaced textbooks and notebooks with laptops, students would be more motivated to complete their schoolwork because they are using something more modern instead of old and boring books.

While I was reading this, I realized that if students actually use computers instead of textbooks, this could lead to students visiting social networking websites or just other websites that are not recommended in school, such like gaming websites or even inappropriate websites. places. As you can see, the concentration of students would be significantly reduced due to the use of a computer instead of a textbook. On the contrary, it can be assumed that these students who did not use computers as textbooks were probably much more focused and could concentrate and understand the concept contained in the school textbook. Many high school students would agree that using laptops would be easier, more functional, and more efficient than using textbooks and laptops.

Second, if students use laptops instead of notebooks, workbooks, and textbooks, they will be more focused and organized in class because our generation prefers modern technology over old, boring and used ones that aren’t even updated Information textbook. .If students have access to textbooks instead of textbooks, workbooks, and textbooks, they will be more focused and organized in the classroom because our generation prefers modern technology to old, boring textbooks that aren’t updated with new information. Most high school students agree that writing from textbooks is easier, more effective, and more effective than writing from textbooks and notebooks.

With tablets for teaching in schools, students won’t have to learn from old and outdated textbooks, especially in ever-changing areas of study like computer science. With tablets for teaching in schools, students no longer need to learn from old and outdated textbooks, which is especially important for frequently changing fields of study, such as computer science.

Firstly, the amount of paper each school uses each year is killing many trees, and if we continue to use textbooks and paper instead of laptops, we will lose many trees, which will lead to even more air pollution and may deprive many habitats. animals. Therefore, based on these facts, it is recommended to replace textbooks with laptop computers, as this will make work more relaxed and, at the same time, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the functioning of researchers and home students around the world.

In a school environment, if computers or tablets are used and controlled appropriately, they can greatly improve student achievement. The tablet is more convenient in studying for students. Increased use of tablets instead of printed textbooks could help lighten school backpacks.

In addition to notebooks and binders, students should also bring pencils, pens, and spare paper. What I mean is that students are less willing to carry around any outdated textbooks and instead want to take a lighter notebook where they can store all the information they need. Textbooks usually cost about a hundred dollars or more, but information quickly becomes outdated and schools have to raise more money to buy up-to-date textbooks.

With portable computers, textbook publishers and teachers will be able to more easily edit and update information in electronic copies of texts. Now laptops are designed not only to easily download the latest updates on certain topics, but also to allow students to learn new information without having to buy new books every time.

Using a laptop, students can use computer-based tools such as Microsoft Office documents, Google Docs, PDFs, slide presentations, and infographic tools. They may have up-to-date information, and using laptops is much cheaper than buying expensive books.

Always start with a primer as it helps smooth the skin and creates the perfect base for the rest of your makeup. It will help to apply an even, smooth pencil to the mark the first time. Use a moisturizing body lotion every day and try applying it to damp skin (as this ensures maximum absorption).

The oil can prevent the penetration of surfactants (found in shampoos and other hair care products) that can damage the hair. Constant shampooing will make your hair dry and your scalp will produce more oil to compensate for the loss of moisture. Instead, use dry shampoo and tie your hair into a braid or ponytail when it gets a little thicker.

Using too much of this product occasionally throughout the day will make your skin look chapped because you’re just layering your makeup on top of other makeup. Take good care of your hair after coloring and use color-protecting shampoos and conditioners to prevent further damage to your color-treated hair.

When your hair is 60%-70% dry, you can blow dry your hair from the roots with a blow dryer. For long-lasting curls, make sure your hair is completely dry before you start using the curling iron. Use a root makeup remover for quick styling, followed by hairspray.

Coloring your hair in a salon has a number of advantages over having it done in the bath, as professional stylists usually do trials to make sure you get the exact color. Those suffering from sensitivity and hair damage should try a “scalp detox” to cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, according to Lin. Eugene Davis, celebrity hairdresser, suggests using an avocado oil hair mask. To make the perfume last longer, apply a small amount of Vaseline to the skin where you will be spraying the perfume.

For makeup that lasts all day and night, use a make-up fixer, such as a setting spray. According to makeup artist Kelly Bartlett, this will help the product fully absorb each wipe, starting with the one you use next. Just outline the lips as usual and then fill them in with color. Because exfoliating lips is the key to flawless lipstick application, you won’t want to skip this step of your beauty routine.

If you don’t give your body time to recover, your skin won’t look fresh and radiant. If left uncleaned, dead skin cells can make skin look dull, dark, bumpy, and dry.

You can get makeup brush cleaner from a pharmacy or beauty store, or just use shampoo and conditioner to clean your brushes like you would your own hair. To tame frizzy hair, spray a small amount of hairspray on your toothbrush and then use it to comb through frizzy strands.

How to prioritize work

Learning how to prioritize

It means getting more out of the limited time you have each day. It’s one of the cornerstones of productivity and once you know how to properly prioritize, it can help with everything from your time management to work-life balance.

Master lists

Capture everything on a Master List and then break it down by monthly, weekly, and daily goals.

  • Start by making a master list—a document, app, or piece of paper where every current and future task will be stored. 
  • Once you have all your tasks together, break them down into monthly, weekly, and daily goals.
  • When setting your priorities, try not to get too “task-oriented” – you want to make sure you’re prioritizing the more effective work.
Eisenhower Matrix

The matrix is a simple four-quadrant box that answers that helps you separate “urgent” tasks from “important” ones:

  • Urgent and Important: Do these tasks as soon as possible
  • Important, but not urgent: Decide when you’ll do these and schedule it
  • Urgent, but not important: Delegate these tasks to someone else
  • Neither urgent nor important: Drop these from your schedule as soon as possible.
The Ivy Lee Method

Rank your work by its true priority with the Ivy Lee Method:

  • At the end of each workday, write down the 6 most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow. 
  • Prioritize those 6 items n order of their true importance.
  • When you arrive tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the next one.
  • Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion. At the end of the day, move any unfinished items to a new list of six tasks for the following day.
  • Repeat this process every working day.
The ABCDE method

Instead of keeping all tasks on a single level of priority, this method offers two or more levels for each task:

  • Go through your list and give every task a letter from A to E (A being the highest priority)
  • For every task that has an A, give it a number that dictates the order you’ll do it in
  • Repeat until all tasks have letters and numbers.
Set the tone of the day by “Eating the frog”

Once you’ve prioritized your most important work, it’s time to choose how to attack the day. How you start the day sets the tone for the rest of it. And often, getting a large, hairy, yet important task out of the way first thing gives you momentum, inspiration, and energy to keep moving. 

Warren Buffett’s 2-list strategy

Cut out “good enough” goals with Warren Buffett’s 2-list strategy.

  • Write down your top 25 goals: life goals, career goals, education goals, or anything else you want to spend your time on.
  • Circle your top 5 goals on that list.
  • Finally, any goal you didn’t circle goes on an “avoid at all cost” list. These are the tasks that are seemingly important enough to deserve your attention. But that isn’t moving you towards your long-term priorities.
The sunk cost fallacy

Humans are especially susceptible to the “sunk cost fallacy”—a psychological effect where we feel compelled to continue doing something just because we’ve already put time and effort into it. But the reality is that no matter what you spend your time doing, you can never get that time back. And any time spent continuing to work towards the wrong priority is just wasted time.
