These are the secrets from an amazing book called “How to Make people like you in 90 seconds or less” by Nicholas Booth Man. Likable people are always open, welcoming and friendly in nature and you can notice their sincerity, trust, and self-confidence in their behavior as well, and you can develop all these qualities in yourself by meeting other people in a regular manner. If other people do not find you interesting in first 90 seconds after meeting you, then they would want to get rid of you as soon as possible.
If you want that people like you more, then you have to invest your efforts from the very beginning, and this starts even before you speak a single word from your mouth. Any new person notices three basic things just after meeting you, these three things are your
Body language
Your eyes
Expression on your face
Thus, it is essential that when you meet anyone, these three elements give the feeling of openness to other people. For doing this, you will have to show your interest in them, along with your body, you will have to move your brain as well toward them. This effort will show your sincerity and commitment and openness in the conversation and in them as well after this, you need to see directly in the eyes of other people, this establishes the trust and as soon as you make an eye contact with other person make sure you give a genuine smile to them before they think or assume anything else about you. Let your positive attitude shine with a broad and genuine smile with this simple action, other people will consider you as a genuine, open and sincere person with this simple effort, you already made a warm and welcoming mood for the situation, and now you need to initiate by introducing yourself. You can do that with a standard greeting, like Hi or hello and you must need to do that in a very pleasant tone. Along with that make sure you share your first name to the other person and it will encourage the other person to introduce themselves for example, you can say,….”Hello, I am Akash”. When you say this, then the other person will also share his or her name with you, and as soon as they share their name, you must need to repeat their name like wise you said… “Hello, I am Sahil” you got response… “Hi, I am Sohil” now you have to say, “Sohil, Nice to meet your Sohil.” In his famous book, “How to win friends and influence people,” Dale Carnage shared the fact that the name of any individual is the sweetest sound in the entire world for that person that is why it is essential that you repeat other person’s name in the conversation as much as possible. This method will increase your acceptance and respect, it will also make it easier for your to memorize their name. And finally, you have to lean forward slightly. Just a little leaning would be enough, just like Mr. Obama is slightly leaning forward in this photo.

With your slight inclination, other people will assume you are showing interested in them, and you are listening to them carefully, also, it will give you a pleasant appearance. Just look at photo and tell who is looking more generous in both of them. Of course, it is Mr. Obama, because he is using this principle.
Studies proved that people hire those people that are similar to them and even most of the time they date people with similar people because they make them feel safe and comfortable. If you try to pay attention, you will find, you enjoy the company of those people who think like you, who behave like you and those who make you feel comfortable. You can be comfortable for them just by synching your voice with their voice. The synching of voice is a very powerful tool in communication skills for this, you need to speak at the same pace as other people are speaking that means if they talk slow, then you should not run fast and second thing, you shall try to use the same tone similar to them. If they are calm and relaxed, and you will speak loudly or with excitement, then it won’t work well for you. You need to use same volume and you need to relax while talking. With this, other people will think you are like them and they will feel more comfortable while talking to you.
In 1979, Dr. Lisa Berkman did a study on 7000 people, and this study lasted for 9 years with this study, she found that people that do not have more social connections or those who do not meet other people, they get ill more often, and it increased their chances of earlier death as well and who meet other people more often, were likely to live longer. So, go and expand your social circle without having any fear, without any complications.
A powerful suspense drama 13 mins Hindi short film Devi directed by Priyanka Banerjee, endorses the concept of femininity. ‘Devi’ is a Sanskrit word that means ‘Goddess’. The short film “Devi” unites some women who are coming from different backgrounds but a victim of the same kinds of situations like sexual assault, rape, domestic violence, and so on. This short film is confined in a room but the use of camera and script didn’t let the audience feel monotonous. With the help of close shots, the expression of the characters has become so vividly exposed that the movie reached another dimension. There is a clean play with time, the continuous cut gives an engaging effect to the audience during the conversation of the characters. There are characters like urban alcoholic ( Shruti Hasan), English speaking city dweller (Neha Dhupia), Urban clad lady, a mute girl, there is a medical practitioner girl, housewives, primitive ladies and more. But among them, Kajol is a very calm and silent yet fierce figure who is the pivot of family. The character is god worshipping and it produces a motherly figure and women omnipotence. The scene fades in with a girl slapping on the television to start it. Then by wide shot, the camera covers the different activities of others present in the room. Then with some shots, we get a glimpse of other activities to get some ideas about the other characters. We come to know about the characters when a debate starts on coming to a new member of the family. Everyone disagrees stating their problem to adjust. As the situation escalates, a quarrel starts between Marathi the old lady, and Neha Dhupia. Ultimately Kajol as the avatar of the goddess convinced them to let the new member referring their helpless situation when they came into the house. Kajol is doing a task like glue to take the victims in the same room. Ultimately when the new member comes in, it breaks the heart of everyone, even the audiences. It was a little girl of maybe 5 or 6 years. The camera takes a shot from the back of the girl revealing half of the girl’s body. The little girl goes and hugs the old Marathi lady. At this moment another news of the rape of a little girl on the television takes every characters’ attention, they look at the television with tearing eyes. The scene fades out. In this egalitarian world and an era of women empowerment, the safety of women’s physical and mental dignity remains a paradox. The movie doesn’t reveal the face of the little girl probably not to specify one girl because in every minute a girl like her is being victimized. So the little girl is the representation of each girl in the country. We can see the evil representation of the society where irrespective of age, class, status, women are being victimized. This is a film, portraying how the women are fighting to survive to bear the brutal stab of the society. The film also gives a message of positivism that if one door closes the other opens. God saves the best for everyone. Here in the film, Kajol plays a character of the avatar of goodness who rescues everyone’s life. I think everyone should watch this movie to have an idea of how social vultures are continuously chasing to win over. Moreover, it also learns problems can’t be bigger than one’s life. If a little adjustment can save one’s life then it’s far more peaceful than mundane some comforts. It will leave everyone thinking if not me then who?
Majority of the people look back at their past relationships with regret and many say they are “unlucky in love”. The fact is that whether you find love with one person who lasts a lifetime or find it with 15 other people who were short term, it means you’re lucky in love! The problem arises when you expect a relationship to last forever, especially in today’s day and age where there are so many changing dynamics and you’re surrounded by so much opportunity and so many choices. Lots of people look at the “good old days” when marriages lasted a lifetime as exemplary, completely ignoring the fact that if many of them lasted a lifetime, it was not for positive reasons. Back then, the woman was not allowed to return to her marital home once she left. Being a divorcee was a stigma and almost always meant being an outcast and seen as “threatening” to other marriages. There was also the aspect that women were brought up to see marriage as a final destination and lacked education and the ability to earn and support themselves outside of marriage. So, they had to take whatever came their way, be it abuse, dowry demands, infidelity, lack of rights, and being treated like a slave by the family she was married into. Child brides and couples who were married off the moment they were of marriageable age never had the opportunity to find love or even look for it. They were bound by family decisions and had to live with it for a lifetime whether they liked it or not. The nature of relationships has changed dramatically in just one lifetime, and it’s incredible to see the amount of opportunity and resources available to find a compatible life partner. There is an acceptance of pre-marital sex and to be able to move on if things don’t work out. Experiencing multiple relationships doesn’t mean you’re unlucky. It means it felt right and was right for that period of time, and that you’re lucky to be able to move on from a relationship that was headed downhill. Thank it for what it did bring into your life instead of regretting it. Yes, sometimes the nature of love evolves and lasts a lifetime, but love is not a commitment for a forever, marriage is. And marriage can be a way to force someone to stay with you, but it isn’t a way to force someone to stay in love with you.
Some thoughts and their answers.
I have had a history of bad relationships. I want to break this cycle but I simply don’t know how to. Can I do it by myself or should I approach a mental health expert? I have been trying to understand why I keep making the same mistakes. time I promise myself a better future but it ends in heartache. Please guide me. ( Question by a Girl)
Please define “bad relationship”. If you feel that the people chosen weren’t right for you, ask whether they were right for that period of time and if you let them in, what void exists that they were filling. If what you want is sex and some happy times, realise it and go for it. If what you want is love, enjoy it while it exists. If you want a long term it’s about compatibility, so focus on getting to know the person and not to jump into relationships. If there is a pattern of physical abuse then it’s mostly connected with self-worth and allowing yourself to be punished and for that, it’s best to meet with a good therapist or hypnotherapist to sort out inner child issues. (The Answer)
I am in my late 20s, and wondering about whether arranged marriage as a concept is still relevant in today’s times. My parents want me to meet potential suitors, but I have my reservations about arranged marriages and the way you are rushed into things that you may not necessarily be prepared for. I don’t mind meeting people, but I don’t want to be rushed into things. How do I meet people without the sword of marriage hanging on my head? (The Question)
Whether it’s meeting someone in your orbit, finding someone on the internet, or having your parents find someone for you, the rule remains the same: Ensure you have multiple areas of compatibility and things you like to do together to keep a strong bond. Most importantly, focus on what you both don’t like and what is not acceptable as those become thorns that tear the fabric of respectful togetherness apart. Tell your parents, you’re happy to meet people but will settle down only when you feel it’s the right fit for a long haul. (The Answer)
I am a 45-year-old single woman and have been working at the same organisation since the past 20 years. I feel like I am stuck in a rut, but I also don’t have the guts to leave and look for better opportunities. I don’t know whether I should continue or take a leap of faith and quit. Please help. (The Question)
Sounds like a dead marriage. Except, in a marriage, looking for options is considered cheating, but in work, it’s acceptable for sourcing a better future. 45 is not an age to resist change, go out there… put out your applications, and follow your gut instincts when they accept as to whether it’s the right fit for you. Perhaps you can take a one month holiday and use that time to work at another company to check out the work dynamics at a new place. It might excite you to leave, or alternatively make you aware of how wonderfully comfortable you are with your current job. Both ways, a win-win eye-opener. (The answer)
Libya is a country in the Maghreb region in north Africa, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea. It is the fourth largest country in Africa and sixteenth largest in the world. Libya became an independent Kingdom in 1951 and was ruled by king Idris I who was overthrown by a military coup in 1969 and the ‘bloodless’ coup leader Muammar Gaddafi ruled the country from 1969 until the 2011 Libyan civil war in which he was killed.
A brief history ofslavery
Slavery can be traced back to many of the world’s oldest societies, from the “emergence of civilization” in Mesopotamia to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, as well as the Mayan and Aztec empires. Male prisoners of war and seized sailors became laborers; prerogative women became concubines and domestic servants; children were used as farm hands or to help around the house.The Arab slave trade flourished on the African continent.
The corridor from Africa’s most populous country to its northern Mediterranean shores has proved especially remunerative. As conflict, climate change and lack of opportunity push increasing numbers of people across borders.
A video of men in Libya being sold off for as little as $400 at an auction shocked the world and brought the much needed attention at the plight of migrants and refugees in the north African country.
The slave trade of Libya
Libya is the main conveyance point for refugees and migrants trying to reach Europe through sea. According to International organization for migration, almost 150,000 people have made this dangerous journey across the sea of which 3000 people could not make it through . The Libyan Coast Guard, supported with funds from the UN and Italy cracked down on boats smuggling refugees and migrants to Europe. With estimated 1 million people stuck in Libya, the detention centres are flooded and have ascending reports of rape, robbery and murder. The conditions in concentration camps are horrendous and make refugees vulnerable to being sold off as laborers in slave auctions.
How is Libya handling the crisis?
The U.N.backed Libyan government has launched a formal investigation into the allegations. But Libya is largely considered a failed state. Since Muammar Gaddafi, who ran the country for four decades, was ousted in 2011, the country has descended into civil war. A transitional government failed to implement rule of law in the country, which has shattered into several factions of militias, tribes, and gangs. In lawless Libya, many see the slave trade and smuggling as a lucrative industry and tackling the country’s humanitarian crisis will require international support.
Slavery may seem like a relic of history but according to the U.N.’s International Labor Organization, there are more than three times as many people in forced serfdom today. What the ILO calls “the new slavery” takes in 25 million people in debt bondage and 15 million in forced marriage. As an illegitimate industry, it is one of the world’s most remunerative, earning criminal networks $150 billion a year, just behind drug smuggling and weapons trafficking. Modern slavery is far and way more profitable now than at any point in human history.
The trade might be most noticeable in Libya, where aid organizations and journalists have documented actual slave auctions. But now it is seeping into southern Europe too—in particular Italy, where vulnerable migrants are being forced to toil unpaid in the fields picking tomatoes, olives and citrus fruits and peddled into prostitution rings.
How many slaves are there today, and who are they?
The word “slavery” summons images of shackles and transatlantic ships – depictions that seem relegated firmly to the past but more people are enslaved today than at any other time in history. Experts have calculated that roughly 13 million people were captured and sold as slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries; today, an estimated 40.3 million people are living in some form of modern slavery, according to the latest figures published by the UN’s International Labor Organization (ILO).Women and girls comprise 71% of all modern slavery victims. Children make up 25% and account for 10 million of all the slaves worldwide.
Where is this happening?
Statistically, modern slavery is most ubiquitous in Africa, followed by Asia and the Pacific, according to the Global Slavery Index, which publishes country-by-country rankings on modern slavery figures and government responses to tackle the issues.
What’s the difference between slavery and human trafficking?
Human trafficking is just one way of subjugating someone. Whereas centuries ago it was common for a slave trader to simply buy another human being and “own” that person as their property (which does still happen), today the practice is largely more insidious.
Trafficking involves the recruitment, transfer or obtaining of an individual through coercion, abduction, fraud or force to exploit them. That exploitation can range from forced labor to forced marriage or commercial sex work – and the exploiter can be anyone, including strangers, neighbors or family members. Most people are trafficked within their own countries, although they can also be trafficked abroad; most often the individual is trafficked into forced labor.
Strategy for resistance
What’s needed is to address the root causes. Poverty alone does not explain slavery. Roughly 700 million people meet the threshold of extreme poverty, the number of slaves is estimated to be 40 million. What distinguishes these 40 million from the other 700 million very poor? Slavery usually occurs when poverty is compounded by specific risk factors.These include an inability to assert basic human rights, lack of access to essential social and economic services (especially schools, health care and credit),the failure of the rule of law and, an absence of services for slavery survivors that leads to re-enslavement.
Libya is considered a failed state. After Gaddafi, the country has been in shambles due to the civil war and hence in lawless Libya,but what is really disheartening is that there are broken people with stories of barbarity and abuse, hoping to find a way out of it, waiting for help but unaware of the reality that there are too little people who care,too little ears to hear their stories and too little hands guided their way for help.
There are a lot of sports with a lot of quicker moments but have you ever guessed which sport might be the fastest sport in the world? BADMINTON yes, that’s right badminton is the fastest sport in the world which is played with a feather shuttlecock. One must be wondering how an object made of feather can travel so fast by the action of a human being. Below are some of the statistics for your knowledge.
The fastest ever smash recorded in a men’s singles competition was when Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia smashed with a speed of 305 km/h (189 mph).
Fu Haifeng of China has set an official world record smash during a doubles badminton match by smashing with a speed of 332 km/h (206 mph) on June 3, 2005.
Tan Boon Heong who belongs to Malaysia had set a new world record by smashing the shuttlecock with a speed of 493 kph in july 2013.
Now compare this to the speed of Lamborghini Gallardo or Eurostar train at its most in-service speed (186.4 mph) or perhaps a jai alai ball.
Yes, a straightforward arrangement of sixteen overlapping goose feathers connected to a rounded cork head is quicker.
As stunning because it could seem, however this is often the reality.
151 mph (243 kph) and a mere 138 mph (222 kph) for lawn tennis.
Badminton’s promoters hope the speed record may bolster the sport’s image and facilitate move it out of alternative racket sports’ shadows, notably in regions wherever lawn tennis and squash reign supreme.
Besides Guinness, I saw some books claiming the speed for shuttlecock is concerning three hundred km/h.” – Ming, Wang of Philippine court game Community, one Jan 2002.
It is a renowned undeniable fact that a shuttle slows down because it travels through the air. It is believed that the shuttle slows down by half-hour each 2 meters .
Badminton rallies last longer than that of lawn tennis and at intervals twenty seconds, it’s calculable that the player hit the shuttlecock forty to fifty times.
The on-court movements in an exceedingly game of court game are additional. It’s additionally calculable that on a mean, there area unit 2 thousand hits per match.
Throughout a match, the player will run up to four miles within the court. Nonetheless however rarely will we see the players roar whereas touch the shuttle.
The level of fitness demanded for the game should be quite obvious to you by currently. A player needs high levels of concentration, lightsomeness and fast reflexes.
He’s needed to get on his toes all the time to maneuver round the court to come the unpredictable shuttle.
The exchanges between high court game players on court area unit so testing the bounds of human ability.
A strict diet regime and regular apply of seven to eight hours (this figure goes to double digits among the Chinese) area unit of overriding importance, if you have
Saina Nehwal had to present informed her feeder ways in which to satisfy the organic process demands of the sport.
Badminton has grownup in quality by leaps and bounds within the Asian countries.
Indeed, it’s thought of jointly of the foremost watched sports throughout the athletic contest.
The quantity of Indians taking on this sport has inflated within the recent years and therefore the credit principally goes to the achievements created by our players in past years.
When we listen to the term narcissists the first thing that strikes in our mind about that person is someone who likes to be the center of attention, likes to dominate etc
The psychiatric literature defines narcissists as possessing specific traits, such as having a sense of entitlement or requiring excessive admiration. characterized especially by an exaggerated sense of self-importance, persistent need for admiration, lack of empathy for others, excessive pride in achievements, and snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes
BLAME SHIFTING
Narcissists like to externalize blame. It’s a fundamental feature of their modus operandi. As the theory goes, it would internally decimate them to fault themselves. It would cause emotional pain for them to bear which they cant and it could crush their “fragile” egos. So, their unconscious mind puts up defenses, Particularly, defenses of refutation and projection. They may know a mess has been made, but it can’t be because of them. It has to be someone or something else’s fault. These defenses keep them from feeling anxious or despise themselves. But are these really the reasons why narcissists blame others?
Narcissists always have to be right. That means others have to be wrong, until or unless one agree with them. Some narcissists solidly believe in their superiority. Accordingly, they always try to assert it. They want only validation and vindication.
It’s easy to call out the faults of others. We’re all flawed creatures. But narcissists go on the attack for a reason. They know how others really regard them. More importantly, deep down, they know how character-deficient they are. So, they build themselves up by tearing others down.
People with strong narcissistic traits are unwilling or unable to reflect on their shortcomings and destructive behaviours. As a result, they project, blame, and manipulate others to cope with their shallow and shaky self-esteem.
Manipulation tactics include diverting, attacking and putting others into defense mode, lying about others being worse and themselves being better, victim-blaming, and playing the victim.
They have unrealistically high expectations of life.Beneath the narcissist’s disguise are layers and layers of fallacious pretenses they’ve fabricated through the years.
As a consequence of their false sense of grandeur, overcompensation, unrealistic expectations and demands become a constant part of their life equation. They then nurture the image of an overgrown baby who thinks the world owes them everything while clothing themselves in an appearance of superiority.
Knowing how the narcissist thinks can help you understand toxic individuals. But we all have toxic people in our lives who can’t be avoided, whether it be a parent or parent-in-law, a sibling or a sibling’s spouse, a friend of a friend, or a co-worker whom you just can’t stand.
You can’t blame someone for having narcissistic personality which can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors which suggests that people with narcissistic personality disorder have a damaged capacity for emotional regulation and emotional empathy.
Their mental condition is not by choice. But how they choose to act upon it is their choice — and they usually choose not to do anything about it.
If you are reading this please make sure that you wish your dad before you start. Just a few words from your mouth will ensure your father’s happiness. Don’t be shy to confess. Be confident and confess your true feelings. Don’t try to speak what you thought, try to confess what you are going through at that moment. Don’t mug up the quotes to impress your father. Because father never looks at literature because feelings matter the most.
“By the time a man realizes that may be his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.” One of the best quote about every father. We can’t confess it in the way it was written. Many of us can’t even speak off what we feel about him infront of him. The shy is due to the respect and gratitude we have inside ourselves. The thing is we can’t let it off and speak about him to him.
Dad isn’t a ad to add a quotation and wish him. True feelings can never be framed. The gut feeling is real and normal. The cinematic dialauge version such as Sons first hero and daughters first love cannot happen in real. The difficulty lies in expressing ourselves as we thought. We can excel in n number of things and could do exactly the way we want to. But coming to the confession of our feelings to the true loved ones we stammer. The love he gave and the sacrifice he made can’t be thanked by just thanking him. We owe him the life. Our life is just some chromosome without his life.
Being thankful to him is just a small thing and least thing that we could do. Never make him feel low for something we did in a rush. Father understands us without justification. Respect his feelings and be responsible for the life of your life. Your birth might have a reason or you might have a reason to live but don’t forget that he is the reason for you life. Never leave him for any reasons. Reasons are just excuses for the mistake. Never make him unhappy. If he is sad be with him. The only thing every father atmost cares is nothing but confidence. He doesn’t want his child to be successful, he only wants to see happiness in your face. He gave us smile on our face and we should not let it leave his face. Father took care of whole family by working hard and tried to hide his troubles with a fake smile. Never give that fake smile he showed to us to hide his hard work. He worked hard to ensure you not to work harder. He made himself work hard to make it easy for you.
My father had struggled to study so hard without his father. He never compromised to make me study. He made sure that I got what I wanted. Today some force pushed me to confess the father’s day to my dad. Atlast I wished my father without shy. We are out of words when we require the most. I am very lucky to have him as my father. He was never angry on me. He made me know the value of patience. He is so patient that he understands everything and listens to others words very keenly.

What is solar eclipse?
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. When this happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching the earth. The shadow of the moon is then cast on the earth.
There are three types of solar eclipses:
First, there is a total solar eclipse — which is only visible from a small area on earth. For the phenomenon to occur, the sun, moon and earth must be in a direct line.
Second is the partial solar eclipse when the sun, moon and earth are not exactly lined up.
The solar eclipse of 21 June, however, is an annular eclipse and is the third type. This happens when the moon is farthest from the earth, according to NASA blog. Since the moon is farther away from the earth, it seems smaller and does not block the entire view of the sun. The moon is in front of the sun and looks like a dark disk on top of an even larger disk which appears like a ring of fire.
The eclipse will be annular in some parts of the country, where sky gazers will get an opportunity to observe the “ring of fire” during the phenomenon. However, for most parts of the country, the eclipse will be partial.
On June 21, the annular eclipse will first start for the people of Congo in Africa and progress through South Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the Indian Ocean and Pakistan, before entering India over Rajasthan. It will then move on to Tibet, China, Taiwan, before ending at the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
This will be the last eclipse to be seen from India for the next 28 months as the next eclipse will be seen in India on October 25, 2022.
In India, the solar eclipse of June 21 with begin at 9:15 am and will end at 3:03 pm. The sun will be seen as a ‘Ring Of Fire’ to the skygazers which is a rare event. The partial eclipse will begin at 9:15 am and it will reach its peak at 12:10 pm. The full eclipse will end at 2:02 pm and the phenomenon will end at 3:04 pm.
Some interesting facts
In a year, there can be as many as five solar eclipses.
A total solar eclipse is a rare sight and happens only once in every 18 months. For a total solar eclipse, the sun has to be blocked at least 90 percent by the moon.
The longest duration of a total solar eclipse is 7.5 minutes
The total solar eclipse cannot be seen from the North and South Poles

Finally some good news today dexamethasone is now being called a major breakthrough based on a recent randomized controlled trial in the UK. Dexamethasone also known as Decadron is an example of a glucocorticoid are sometimes referred to as corticosteroids other examples of glucocorticoids include hydrocortisone methyl prednisolone prednisolone, prednisone beta methazone and triamcinolone so glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor in the body cortisol aka hydrocortisone is the glucocorticoid.
We naturally make in our body it’s essential for life it regulates or supports various cardiovascular metabolic and homeostatic functions it also plays a big role in our immune system especially when it comes to reducing certain aspects of inflammation this is why we use them all the time in medicine we sometimes give these steroids for asthma copd rheumatologic type diseases and countless more diseases. Sometimes it is also given for steroids for meningitis and also for some forms of cancer we also give them in the early course of severe ards acute respiratory distress syndrome whether that ards is due to infection such as pneumonia or vaping lung injury or whatever the cause for severe ards we typically give methylprednisolone or solumedral at a dose of one milligram per kilogram per day. So, for most people that ends up being around 80 milligrams per day so this is the equivalent of 15 milligrams of dexamethasone the idea here is to suppress the cytokine storm that has taken place meaning that the massive amount of inflammation that causes lung damage and can indirectly cause damage to other organs as well our body naturally makes cortisol in our adrenal glands specifically in the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex the adrenal gland then secretes cortisol into the bloodstream and the cortisol travels to different tissues of the body and then binds to the glucocorticoid receptor inside cells it then stimulates the cell to make more anti-inflammatory proteins and causes the cell to make less pro-inflammatory proteins but giving someone glucocorticoids meaning steroids to someone who has an infection is somewhat of a tricky thing because the fear is that if you suppress the body’s immune system it has the potential to make the infection worse. Sometimes the body’s immune system does more damage than the actual infection for example in cases of meningitis that is due to either streptococcus or tuberculosis we give steroids because the medical evidence shows that they have better outcomes when we do so and giving someone steroids for viral pneumonias like influenza is more controversial because doing so generally leads to worse infection with that said if the viral pneumonia is so bad to the point of causing severe ards most doctors will give steroids in that situation. So this is why, the general medical guidelines so far recommend against giving steroids for covert pneumonia unless the patient has severe ards and we’ve been waiting for randomized controlled trials to come out for steroids in covid and here we are now with this study so in march of 2020 the recovery trial which stands for randomized evaluation of covid-19 therapy was one of the randomized control trials that actually looked at several different potential treatments for covid which included low-dose dexamethasone this trial was done in the UK.

Over 11 500 patients in it so this trial has not been peer reviewed as of has not been published in the journal yet so everything I know so far is based on what’s been released to the general public in this trial over 2100 patients were randomized to receive dexamethasone specifically six milligrams once per day for 10 days and this group was compared with over 4 300 patients that were randomized to the standard care alone so 6 milligrams of dexamethasone is the equivalent of 32 milligrams of methylprednisolone so this is about half the dose we would typically use for someone with severe ards so among the patients who received standard care alone 20-day mortality was highest in those who required mechanical ventilation this was 41 and then intermediate in those patients who required supplemental oxygen only this was mortality rate of 25 percent and the mortality rate was lowest among those who did not require supplemental oxygen in which that mortality rate was 13 for patients who were on mechanical ventilators dexamethasone reduced mortality from 41 percent to 28 percent for patients who needed supplemental oxygen it reduced mortality from 25 percent to 20 percent and there was no benefit among those patients who do not require supplement oxygen in other words if someone only had mild disease there was no point in giving dexamethasone so based on these results one death would be prevented by the treatment of around eight ventilated patients. So that’s the number needed to treat for ventilated patients and then the number needed to treat for the ones who required supplemental oxygen that number needed to treat would be 25 so these preliminary results are significant but it doesn’t mean that dexamethasone is a miracle drug it’s certainly not a cure but it does seem to help based on these numbers index and methazone could be of huge benefit and not just rich countries but poorer countries as well because this drug is very cheap and is widely available so this is great news and very exciting but there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered like what is the ideal dose should we use higher doses in patients who are mechanically ventilated with ards and when will it be approved for use in the united states and we’ll get these answers pretty soon now another.
Interesting question is should we give decadron dexamethasone to people who have mild disease now even though this study didn’t show any benefit the reason why i bring this up is because some people start out with mild disease and then go on to have moderate or severe disease and we have no way of predicting who goes on to do that and also it happens very quickly lots of times someone could be doing just fine and then all of a sudden within hours they all of a sudden are deteriorating and they have severe disease so should we give those patients decadron regardless is there any harm doing so that’s another question that remains to be seen.
Counselling is a general process of helping or guiding an individual to solve one’s personal or psychological problems. Counselling is usually done by someone who is a professional in that particular field and knows how to deal with human behavior,their personality and provide right direction to their thoughts. A counsellor is a person whom you can visit anytime when you feel to as the relationship between the visitor and the counsellor is based on and should be based on trust and good moral support, on the other hand the individual’s identity and problems shared stays confidential.
What is Career Counselling?
It is also a process which focuses on helping an individual understanding his own worth as well as the work trends so that the individual can take a better decision about their career and education. Career counselling gradually helps in the time management issues among the students and children and also solve the trust issues and misunderstandings among the parents and children regarding which career to opt.
Why does one need Career Counselling?
Each and everyone of us require guidance at some point in our life as it is tough to make a significant decision. By career counselling we understand our potential and future aspect of our career and how to improve it. Some of the benefits of career counselling are given below.
The major benefit of career counselling is that it helps an individual in choosing the right carrier as the counsellors are experts in their field and help to asses an individual’s aptitude,personality,interests and other aspects. By evaluating the results of the source of information which came from the student, the counsellar suggests the best available career options.
As the career counselling provides an access to wide range of resources and knowledge which helps the student and parents to choose the right path and option as they might not be familiar to that kind of expert knowledge.
Career cousnelling will help the student to understand the difficulties and hurdles which would arise in the path of their career.The extra knowledge that the student achieves through counselling results in the rise in confidence and enthusiasm.
Such counselling will help the students in breaking some of their day to day habits which is not required such as procrastinating and not keeping update on the particular field or career. A career counsellor helps in breaking such behavioral patterns and lead to productive environment.
In most of the situations it is a difficult task for both the parents and the students in choosing the right career option and leads to frustration. Career counselling provides such a platform where frustrations can be reduced and the focus is redirected towards the best career options.
It helps the students in the connecting to the best experts available with enough life experiences and accomplishments. They become role models for the student in most of the cases who serve as an inspiration for the students.
Status of Career Counselling in India.
Career counselling in India may be a huge addressable market as currently India needs a minimum of 1.4 million career counsellors to take care of a globally acceptable student to high school counsellor ratio. While a few national boards have mandated schools to have counsellors, over 93% schools in India don’t have a professional counsellor on board. There is urgent need of career counsellors at the varsity level in India.
The government had done a survey of over 150,000 households across India between April and December of 2015 showed some startling data – a highly educated Indian youth is quite five times as likely to be unemployed as an uneducated one. Nearly 35% of Indian youth who possess graduate degrees and above are unemployed, while relatively uneducated young workers (6.2% unemployment) do far better . This clearly points to the very fact that there’s a significant mismatch between skill building and contemporary jobs. Timely career guidance can help bridge this gap.
That India features a counselling- deficit education sector may be a critical challenge. We have around 1 Lakh professional career counsellors compared to the necessity for 15 lakh career counsellors to cater to 315 million strong student market. Comparing to the US, they have about 2.6 million student counsellors for 56 million students. Career Counselling is only now beginning to gain the recognition it deserves and is witnessing exponential growth as a profession. While the developed nations have recognized the criticality of career counselling, and a vast number of progressive schools in India are also waking up to the fact, over 90% of Indian schools still don’t have career counsellors and there’s a shortage of nearly 14 Lakh trained career counsellors within the country.
Market size and expected growth for career assessment.
The size of the market for career assessment and guidance is currently estimated at over Rs 5,000 crore in India and growing at a dramatic rate.The Developing economies are increasingly appreciating the impact of career counselling in aligning students with the proper career options and thus contributing towards the nation building with youth icons.
